Per the requirements of the Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction
Act, Senate Bill 350, the California Public Utilities Commission,
California Energy Commission and California Air Resources Board
will jointly host a public workshop on July 26, 2016, in
Sacramento on topics related to regionalization of the
Independent System Operator, including the development of a
governance structure and studies on the environmental and
economic impacts of a regional grid operator.
Under the Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act, Senate Bill
350, the California Independent System Operator was required to:
(1) prepare governance modifications needed to transform into a
regional organization; and (2) conduct one or more studies of the
impacts of a regional market enabled by the proposed governance
modifications, including overall benefits to ratepayers, the
creation or retention of jobs and other benefits to the
California economy, environmental impacts in California and
elsewhere, impacts in disadvantaged communities, emissions of
greenhouse gases and other air pollutants, and reliability and
integration of renewable energy resources. At the workshop, the
California Independent System Operator will present proposed
governance modifications and the results of recent regional
market expansion studies. The agencies will provide feedback on
the studies and consider stakeholder comments provided at the
workshop. All interested parties are invited to attend.
More information and a detailed agenda to follow. If you have
questions on the subject matter of the workshop, please contact
Al Alvarado at Al.Alvarado@energy.ca.gov or (916) 654-4749.
