Summary
Would have revised the statutory definition of transportation electrification to explicitly include renewable hydrogen and fuel cell electric vehicles, if the hydrogen meets certain renewable content requirements. The bill also would have required the California Public Utilities Commission to approve, or modify and approve, programs and investments in transportation electrification, including hydrogen and hydrogen‑related distribution, pipelines, and make-ready infrastructure for hydrogen, utilizing a reasonable cost recovery mechanism if they are consistent with the specified environmental objectives, do not unfairly compete with nonutility enterprises, include performance accountability measures, and are in the interest of ratepayers. Was not heard in the Assembly Utilities and Energy Committee.
