CA SB1136

Amends Public Utilities Code Section 380 to require the Public Utilities Commission to ensure resource adequacy requirements advance California's goals for clean energy, reducing air pollution, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining electrical service reliability.

Expands resource adequacy objectives to include development and retention of nongenerating and hybrid capacity in addition to traditional generating capacity that is economic and needed.

Requires load-serving entities to maintain physical generating capacity and electrical demand response adequate to meet load requirements, including peak demand and planning and operating reserves, deliverable when necessary for system reliability and flexibility.

Adds minimizing the need for backstop procurement by the Independent System Operator as a specified purpose when the commission determines the most efficient and equitable means for load-serving entities to meet resource adequacy requirements.

Applies the same resource adequacy and renewables portfolio standard requirements to all load-serving entities (electrical corporations, electric service providers, and community choice aggregators) in a nondiscriminatory manner.
