Summary
Extends requirements on electric investor-owned utilities (IOUs) and community choice aggregators (CCAs) to procure energy from biomass generating electric facilities to July 1, 2025. This bill also expands eligibility of the five-year extension to procurement contracts from biomass facilities to include facilities located in a local air district that voluntarily reclassifies to Severe or Extreme air quality nonattainment status. The biomass generator is required to first obtain a letter or certificate from the relevant air district that states that the Sacramento federal ozone nonattainment area voluntarily opted to be reclassified and that the continued operation of the facility does not impede the local air district's ability to meet its applicable requirements.
