2026 California Legislative Read-Out and Look Ahead
Date: October 21, 2026
__________________________________________________________________ Summary
This is informational and no action is required.
Since 2019, Ava staff has worked to implement the Board-approved Legislative Program. The Legislative Program provides a framework for staff to identify, assess, track, and (with Board approval) take advocacy-related action regarding proposed legislation.
In March and April of this year, the Board took formal positions on 10 bills (descriptions below based on bill contents in March and April).
Support
• Senate Bill 222 (Wiener) - Streamlines permitting for installations of residential heat pump water and HVAC systems;
• Senate Bill 1138 (Padilla) - Allows load serving entities to transact resource adequacy compliance products;
• Senate Bill 1168 (McNerney) - Establishes new surcharges on natural gas consumption by large data centers, with revenues collected to be directed toward wildfire costs currently embedded in customer rates;
• Assembly Bill 1761 (Rogers) Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) transparency; and
Staff Report Item 17
• Assembly Bill 2266 (Schultz) - Requires the use of a consistent method across regulatory proceedings for calculating how much reliability value different energy resources provide, so that short-term, mid-term, and long-term procurement programs all count resources the same way.
Support-if-Amended
• Senate Bill 868 (Wiener) - Sets rules for “plug in” or “balcony” solar systems; • Senate Bill 913 (Becker) - Allows aggregated distributed resources to serve as Resource Adequacy capacity;
• Assembly Bill 1577 (Bauer-Kahan) - Requires monthly reporting on data center energy usage;
• Assembly Bill 1975 (Schultz) - Establishes a “grid utilization metric” that calculates load as a percentage of rated distribution capacity; and
• Assembly Bill 2389 (Irwin) - Extends a property tax exemption for customer-sited solar.
Over the course of the 2026 legislative session, Ava staff were able to secure necessary amendments for SB 913 (Becker) and AB 1577 (Bauer-Kahan) and the Agency subsequently moved from a Support-if-Amended posture to a Support position.
Of these 10 bills, the final disposition (and contents of the bills) is as follows:
Signed into law:
• Senate Bill 222 (Wiener) - Streamlines permitting for installations of residential heat pump water and HVAC systems;
• Senate Bill 868 (Wiener) - Sets rules for “plug in” or “balcony” solar systems through January 1, 2030;
• Senate Bill 913 (Becker) - Allows aggregated distributed resources to serve as Resource Adequacy capacity under certain circumstances;
• Senate Bill 1168 (McNerney) - Requires the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to assess opportunities for rate structures to ensure data centers pay their fair share and alleviate cost pressures on residential ratepayers; • Assembly Bill 1577 (Bauer-Kahan) - Directs the California Energy Commission (CEC) to establish a process for data center owners to submit reports on energy usage.
Separately, data center owners will submit their expected energy consumption to local agencies for planning and environmental review purposes. • Assembly Bill 2266 (Schultz) - Requires the CPUC to consider implementing consistent methodologies across regulatory proceedings.
Vetoed by Governor Newsom:
• Assembly 1761 (Rogers) PCIA transparency.

Staff Report Item 17
• Senate Bill 1138 (Padilla) - Allows load serving entities to transact resource adequacy compliance products;
• Assembly Bill 1975 (Schultz) - Establishes a “grid utilization metric” that calculates load as a percentage of rated distribution capacity; and
• Assembly Bill 2389 (Irwin) - Extends a property tax exemption for customer-sited solar.
Financial Impact
Anticipated financial impact for bills signed into law:
• SB 222 (Wiener) – Unlikely to have a direct fiscal impact on Ava. • SB 1168 (McNerney) – No financial impact on Ava.
• AB 2266 (Schultz) – Possible reduction in regulatory reporting costs. • SB 868 (Wiener) – Unlikely to have a direct fiscal impact on Ava. Depending on how the legislation is implemented, it may increase available resources for virtual power plant initiatives.
• SB 913 (Becker) – Depending on how the program is implemented it may lessen Resource Adequacy compliance costs.
• AB 1577 (Bauer-Kahan) – Unlikely to have a direct fiscal impact on Ava.
Analysis and Context
• SB 222 (Wiener) – SB 222 will standardize and streamline local permitting for residential heat pump water heaters and heat pump HVAC systems, in part, by requiring an option for remote inspections and online automated permitting. The bill supports the State’s target of installing six million heat pump systems by 2030, an objective the State is currently set to miss by roughly two million units. The bill was passed by the state legislature signed by the Governor.
• SB 868 (Wiener) – SB 868 legalizes small-scale “plug in” or “balcony” solar installations and under certain conditions and exempts these installations from participating in the interconnection process. During the legislative session, the bill was amended to sunset on January 1, 2030. Ava conditioned its support for the bill on amendments that would require eligible portable solar devices to be paired with storage. These amendments were not accepted by the Author. The bill was passed by the state legislature signed by the Governor.
• SB 913 (Becker) – SB 913 requires the CPUC to "enhance existing market-integrated pathways" for distributed energy resources (DERs) to qualify as Resource Adequacy (RA) capacity and authorize load serving entities (LSEs), such as Ava, to include distributed capacity resources in RA filings and CPUC-ordered procurement. Over the course of the legislative session, Ava staff were able to amend the bill to ensure DERs are eligible to be used for RA compliance obligations with the same status as traditional RA products. The bill was passed by the state legislature signed by the Governor.
Staff Report Item 17
• SB 1138 (Padilla) - Sponsored by CalCCA, SB 1138 required the CPUC to permit LSEs to demonstrate compliance with Resource Adequacy (RA) requirements by selling to, or otherwise making transactions with, another LSE to meet not more than 25% of our compliance obligation, on a short-term basis, and to permit those transactions to be denominated in the same unit of time used to denominate RA compliance requirements.
The bill did not pass through the state legislature.
• SB 1168 (McNerney) – When introduced, SB 1168 imposed annually set surcharges on electricity and natural gas consumed by data centers, required utilities to collect these charges and deposit the revenues into a fund to help offset wildfire costs currently embedded in customer rates. During the session, the bill was amended, and all language imposing annual surcharges was removed. As adopted, SB 1168 requires the CPUC to assess opportunities for rate structures to ensure data centers pay their fair share and alleviate cost pressures on residential ratepayers. The bill was passed by the state legislature signed by the Governor.
• AB 1577 (Bauer-Kahan) – AB 1577 requires the CEC to establish a process for data centers to submit specified energy and water usage data and to include this information as part of the 2029 edition (and subsequent editions) of the Integrated Energy Policy Report, among other changes. Over the course of the legislative session, Ava staff were able to amend the bill to ensure reporting timelines account for IOU-to-CCA data sharing processes. The bill was passed by the state legislature signed by the Governor. • AB 1761 (Rogers) - Sponsored by CalCCA, AB 1761 would have required the CPUC to ensure that all data relied on in any decision or ruling, or in any proposal or analysis provided by an investor-owned utility (IOU), CPUC staff, or any other party, for the determination or application of a calculation methodology (e.g., PCIA) be made available to LSEs and ratepayer advocates. The bill was passed by the state legislature but vetoed by the Governor.
• AB 1975 (Schultz) – AB 1975 would have required the PUC to establish a “grid utilization metric” that calculates electrical load as a percentage of rated distribution capacity and creates performance-based incentives and Investor-Owned Utility (“IOU”)- run programs for utilities to meet annual minimum grid utilization metrics. The bill did not pass through the state legislature.
• AB 2266 (Schultz) – When introduced, the bill required the CPUC to consolidate specified reporting requirements into a single procurement plan, and (when feasible) consolidate compliance reporting for reliability requirements. However, the language was narrowed, and the CPUC now retains flexibility to use different methodologies for system planning reserve margin and evaluating short-term, mid-term, and long-term reliability needs. Ava supports this type of standardization as it contributes to reducing compliance costs. The bill was passed by the state legislature signed by the Governor. • AB 2389 (Irwin) – AB 2389 would have extended the “newly constructed” property tax exemption for customer-sited solar systems of 2MW or less and for new systems that are sited on the property of a public entity from 2026 to 2031. Ava conditioned its support for the bill on amendments that would require newly installed solar installations to be paired with storage. These amendments were not accepted by the Author. The bill did not pass through the state legislature.

Ava proposed amendments – not adopted: Ensure CCAs can participate in and benefit from grid utilization programs while preventing IOU-only implementation.
Grid Utilization Metric
AB 2266 Schultz — When introduced, the bill required the CPUC to consolidate specified reporting requirements into a single procurement plan, and (when feasible) consolidate compliance reporting for reliability requirements.
Major changes since initial drafting: Narrowed its mandate from aligning broader planning frameworks to ensuring consistent standards for LSE compliance. Under the new language CPUC now retains flexibility to use different methodologies for system planning reserve margin and evaluating short-term, mid-term, and long-term reliability needs.
