Deliverability Standards to ensure carbon-free energy development continues in California.
Appointees to the new regional ISO continue to be Governor’s appointees responsive to California voters/ratepayers — not selected by the utility industry.
CALIFORNIA’S VOTING POWER ON THE BOARD AND ALL SUBCOMMITTEES MUST BE PROPORTIONATE TO ITS LOAD ON THE SYSTEM.
California must not be forced to spend California ratepayer money to build infrastructure in other states. The CPUC must determine if the infrastructure built in other states is cost-effective for California ratepayers.
California must remain free to make all decisions regarding infrastructure and clean energy investments IN CALIFORNIA.
The policies of the new regional ISO cannot impede California’s progress in reaching its mandate of 100% carbon-free energy by 2045 and cannot force California to accept or import more fossil-based energy.
The final agreement to form a regional ISO MUST BE RATIFIED BY THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE, NOT A STATE AGENCY.
If any decision by FERC changes any of the provisions implementing these principles, all California utilities are required to automatically withdraw from the new ISO unless authorized to remain by an act passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor within 1 year.
