  • Directs the PUC to initiate a process by January 1, 2030 to consolidate compliance reporting for load-serving entities across multiple programs (resource adequacy, renewables portfolio standard, and integrated resource planning) into a single reporting process

  • Requires the PUC to explain in its annual report, when the Independent System Operator uses backstop procurement authority, whether the need arose from load-serving entity noncompliance or from methodology differences between the PUC and ISO in assessing resource reliability contributions
