Integrated Distributed Energy Resources Fund.Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission to require the administration, until January 1, 2026, of a self-generation incentive program to increase the development of distributed generation resources and energy storage technologies. In administering the program, existing law requires the commission to provide an additional incentive of 20% from existing program funds for the installation of eligible distributed generation resources manufactured in California.Existing law establishes State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission) with various responsibilities with respect to developing and implementing the states energy policies.This bill would establish the Integrated Distributed Energy Resources Fund as a special fund in the State Treasury, the moneys in which would be available to the Energy Commission, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for purposes of the bill. The bill would require the Energy Commission to administer the fund in consultation with the Public Utilities Commission and the State Air Resources Board to provide incentives for eligible resources to support statewide customer adoption of clean distributed energy resources, as specified. The bill would require the commission to establish a system to equitably award incentives, as specified. The bill would require the commission to establish a process to allow a load-serving entity to apply for incentives on behalf of a customer or a set of customers as part of that load-serving entitys customer program to reduce its resource adequacy requirement obligations.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all the following:(1) Extreme weather events, natural disasters, and cyber incursions will require new approaches to increase resiliency from power system interruptions by using clean distributed energy resources to maintain continuity of critical services and minimize customer impact from outages.(2) Diversifying customer choice in clean distributed energy resources will create value for customers by empowering each customer to make decarbonization investments based on the customers needs and circumstances.(3) Integration of clean distributed energy resources into the wholesale electricity market will support renewable integration, greenhouse gas reduction, and electrical grid reliability. Dispatch of customer-sited resources to support electrical grid operations will require improvements in customer experience and improved alignment between customer value and benefits to the grid.(4) A statewide distributed energy resources incentive program will increase customer adoption of clean distributed energy resources, support decarbonization of Californias economy, increase resilience to power system interruptions, and improve reliability of the electrical grid.(5) Local air pollution from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles disproportionately impacts Californias most vulnerable populations, and investments in clean distributed energy resources to facilitate charging at locations including, but not limited to, ports, warehouses, and transit corridors could potentially have a positive impact on reducing local pollution.(b) It is the intent of the Legislature to support the statewide deployment of clean distributed energy resources, including customer-sited clean energy generation, storage, clean backup power, demand management, and managed charging of electric vehicles, to support the decarbonization of Californias economy.SEC. 2.
