Local publicly owned electric utilities: minimum planning reserves and reliability criteria.

Existing law requires local publicly owned electric utilities serving end-use customers, among other things, to prudently plan for and procure resources that are adequate to meet its planning reserve margin and peak demand and operating reserves, sufficient to provide reliable service to its customers and to, at a minimum, meet the most recent minimum planning reserve and reliability criteria approved by the Board of Trustees of the Western Systems Coordinating Council or the Western Electricity Coordinating Council. Existing law requires those utilities to provide the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, upon request, with information the commission determines is necessary to evaluate the progress made by them in meeting the above requirements. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision regarding the provision of information to the commission.
