SB 886: California Technology Innovation and Ratepayer Protection Act.
The bill aims to establish a rate structure for electrical corporations to facilitate the interconnection of customer facilities and provide transmission, distribution, and generation services to participating customers. The rate structure must ensure that costs are not shifted to non-participating customers and that participating customers are responsible for transmission facility upgrades. Participating customers must also prefund contracts for new, incremental zero-carbon energy resources and participate in a new demand response program. Local publicly owned electric utilities are encouraged to develop similar tariffs. The bill also requires electrical corporations to publish maps showing locations where interconnections can occur without significant infrastructure upgrades.
