AB 64: Renewable electricity reform

The siting, procurement and transmission of renewable electricity requires complicated and often controversial decisions. To ensure that California’s new renewable electricity standard went beyond just “rates and dates,” AB 64 (Krekorian) would have included important provisions to strengthen and speed up the environmental review of electric generation and transmission projects, reform planning requirements to ensure that enough projects move from the drawing board to actual siting, and efficiently connect renewable electricity sources to the transmission grid.
