Fiscal Detail and Notes
The bill eliminates the December 31, 2015 repeal date for the Community-based Renewable Energy Act and requires the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to review certain certified program participant projects to determine whether they are reasonably likely to achieve commercial operations within a 3-year time period. Any additional costs to the PUC are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
