(

a) This

section shall apply to a local publicly owned electric utility with an annual electrical demand exceeding gigawatthours, as determined on a three-year average commencing January 1, 2013. (

b) On or before January 1, 2019, the governing board of a local publicly owned electric utility shall adopt an integrated resource plan and a process for updating the plan at least once every five years to ensure the utility achieves all of the following:

(1) Meets the greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets established by the State Air Resources Board, in coordination with the commission and the Energy Commission, for the electricity sector and each local publicly owned electric utility that reflect the electricity sector’s percentage in achieving the economywide greenhouse gas emissions reductions of percent from levels by 2030.

(2) Ensures procurement of at least percent eligible renewable energy resources by consistent with

Article 16 (commencing with

Section 399.11) of

Chapter 2.3 of Part of Division 1.

(3) Meets the goals specified in subparagraphs (

D) to (H), inclusive, of paragraph (1) of subdivision (

a) of

Section 454.52, and the goal specified in subparagraph (

C) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (

a) of

Section 454.52, as that goal is applicable to each local publicly owned electric utility. A local publicly owned electric utility shall not, solely by reason of this paragraph, be subject to requirements otherwise imposed on electrical corporations.

(4) In furtherance of the carbon neutrality goals set forth in Executive Order B-55-18 To Achieve Carbon Neutrality (September 10, 2018), each updated integrated resource plan shall include, as applicable, details of the utility’s electrical service rate design that support transportation electrification, and existing or planned incentives to support transportation electrification, including rebates. The rate design shall include details for all applicable transportation sectors, including, but not limited to, on-road and off-road vehicles in the light-, medium-, and heavy-duty sectors.

Each integrated resource plan shall also include information about the utility’s customer education and outreach efforts being implemented to inform utility customers of available incentives and decisionmaking tools, such as cost calculators or cost estimates that can assist customers in predicting the cost of paying for electricity for these vehicles. (

c) In furtherance of the requirements of subdivision (b), the governing board of a local publicly owned electric utility shall consider the role of existing renewable generation, grid operational efficiencies, energy storage, and distributed energy resources, including energy efficiency, in helping to ensure each utility meets energy needs and reliability needs in hours to encompass the hour of peak demand of electricity, excluding demand met by variable renewable generation directly connected to a California balancing authority, as defined in

Section 399.12, while reducing the need for new electricity generation resources and new transmission resources in achieving the state’s energy goals at the least cost to ratepayers. (d)

(1) The integrated resource plan shall address procurement for the following: (

A) Energy efficiency and demand response resources pursuant to

Section 9615. (

B) Energy storage requirements pursuant to

Chapter 7.7 (commencing with

Section 2835) of Part of Division 1. (

C) Transportation electrification. (

D) A diversified procurement portfolio consisting of both short-term and long-term electricity, electricity-related, and demand response products. (

E) The resource adequacy requirements established pursuant to

Section 9620. (2) (

A) The governing board of the local publicly owned electric utility may authorize all source procurement that includes various resource types, including demand-side resources, supply side resources, and resources that may be either demand-side resources or supply side resources, to ensure that the local publicly owned electric utility procures the optimum resource mix that meets the objectives of subdivision (b). (

B) The governing board may authorize procurement of resource types that will reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector and meet the other goals specified in subdivision (b), but due to the nature of the technology or fuel source may not compete favorably in price against other resources over the time period of the integrated resource plan. (

e) A local publicly owned electric utility shall satisfy the notice and public disclosure requirements of subdivision (

f) of

Section 399.30 with respect to any integrated resource plan or plan update it considers.
