An act to add Section 9607.5 to the Public Utilities Code, relating to local publicly owned electric utilities.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 426, as amended, Cox.
Local publicly owned electric utilities: cost responsibility surcharge.
Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations. Under existing law, the commission has imposed a cost responsibility surcharge on municipal departing load, as defined in commission decisions. Existing law relative to electrical restructuring, with certain exceptions, prohibits a local publicly owned electric utility from providing electric service to a retail customer of an electrical corporation unless the customer first confirms in writing an obligation to pay to the electrical corporation a nonbypassable generation-related transition charge established by the regulatory body for that electrical corporation.
This bill would prohibit the commission from imposing any cost charge, including any cost responsibility surcharge, on a customer of a local publicly owned electric utility if the customer’s service location has not previously received service from an electrical corporation.
