CA SB913

Requires the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC), in coordination with the Energy Commission and Independent System Operator, to enhance pathways for aggregated distributed capacity resources (such as batteries, demand response, and distributed solar) to qualify for resource adequacy by June 30, 2027

Mandates that aggregated distributed capacity resources receive full resource adequacy credit for their capacity value, including energy exported past the utility meter, and allows use of device telemetry instead of revenue-grade meters for settlement

Permits multiple devices to participate behind the same utility interconnection point and authorizes opt-out enrollment structures to reduce barriers to participation

Prohibits the PUC from adopting requirements that would disincentivize load-serving entities from contracting with aggregated distributed resources or limit non-utility entities from developing and managing these resources

Requires the PUC to develop recommendations for changes to the Independent System Operator's proxy demand resource and distributed energy resource aggregation participation models by June 30, 2027
