Existing law vests the Public Utilities Commission with regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations. Existing law authorizes a community choice aggregator to aggregate the electrical load of interested electricity consumers within its boundaries and requires the community choice aggregator to, among other things, enter into an operating service agreement with an electrical corporation.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would require an electrical corporation, electric service provider, or community choice aggregator and an operator of an electrified commuter railroad that produces electricity through the regenerative braking of electric trains, including the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, to, upon completing certain technical studies, adopt or modify a tariff or contract that requires the electrical corporation, electric service provider, or community choice aggregator to bill the operator only for its net energy.
