Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility: electrical grid data: electricity demand reduction and response: energy storage solutions.(1) Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations, while local publicly owned electric utilities are under the direction of their governing boards. Pursuant to a statute requiring it to adopt initiatives to reduce demand for electricity and reduce load during peak demand periods, including differential incentives for renewable or super clean distributed generation resources, the commission adopted decisions establishing a self-generation incentive program.This bill would require an electrical corporation or local publicly owned electric utility that provides electric service to 30,000 or more customers within the Los Angeles Basin to make publicly available, upon request of any person, electrical grid data necessary or useful to enable distributed energy resource providers to target solutions that support reliability in the area where electrical reliability has been impacted as a result of reductions in gas storage capacity and gas deliverability resulting from the well failure at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. The bill would require a gas corporation that provides gas service to 30,000 or more customers within the Los Angeles Basin to make publicly available, upon request of any person, information necessary or useful to enable distributed energy resource providers to target solutions that support reliability in the area where electrical reliability has been impacted as a result of reductions in gas storage capacity and gas deliverability resulting from the well failure at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. The bill would require, to the extent doing so is cost effective, an electrical corporation providing electric service within the Los Angeles Basin and a local publicly owned electric utility providing electric service to more than 250,000 customers within the Los Angeles Basin to maximize their use of demand response, renewable energy resources, energy efficiency, and technically feasible technologies to reduce demand in the area where electrical reliability has been impacted as a result of reductions in gas storage capacity and gas deliverability resulting from the well failure at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility.(2) Existing law requires the commission to determine appropriate targets for each load-serving entity to procure viable and cost-effective energy storage systems to be achieved by December 31, 2020. Existing law requires the governing board of each local publicly owned electric utility to determine appropriate targets for the utility to procure viable and cost-effective energy storage systems to be achieved by December 31, 2020.This bill would require the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to deploy Power, in coordination with the city council of the City of Los Angeles, by June 1, 2018, to determine the cost-effectiveness and feasability of deploying a minimum aggregate total of 100 megawatts of cost-effective energy storage solutions and and, if it determines that doing so is cost effective and feasible, to deploy those cost-effective energy storage solutions. The bill would require an electrical corporation serving the Los Angeles Basin Basin, by June 1, 2018, to the extent doing so is cost effective and feasible, to deploy a minimum aggregate total of 20 megawatts of cost-effective energy storage solutions in addition to the procurement targets to be achieved by December 31, 2020, pursuant to existing law. solutions. The bill would authorize all require certain moneys collected as fines or penalties by the commission or other state agency from a gas corporation serving the Los Angeles Basin pursuant to a proceeding relating to the well failure at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility to be allocated by that agency to reduce the impact on ratepayers of the energy storage solutions required by these provisions. deposited in the ____ Account, which the bill would create. The bill would authorize moneys in the ____ Account to be allocated, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for purposes of mitigating impacts on local air quality and ratepayers resulting from the well failure at Aliso Canyon. The bill would require the commission and specified public utilities to take immediate actions to support rapid compliance with these provisions, and would state the intent of the Legislature that local governments strongly consider taking immediate actions for this purpose.Under existing law, a violation of the Public Utilities Act or any order, decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the commission is a crime.Because certain of the provisions of this bill would be a part of the act and because a violation of an order or decision of the commission implementing its requirements by an electrical corporation would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime.Because the bill would impose additional duties upon local publicly owned electric utilities in the Los Angeles Basin, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for specified reasons.(3) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Los Angeles Basin.(4)This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.Digest Key Vote: TWO_THIRDSMAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
