Action Alert: Tell your reps right away - NO on AB 56

[Karl Frederick]

Ann Hancock at the Center for Climate Protection sent a message today, asking us to request that our local representative vote against AB 56, for the following reasons:

AB 56 grants far too much authority to the CPUC to procure any energy resources.

In its current form, this bill is nothing more than a power grab by the CPUC. The new authority granted to the Commission would significantly scale back local control—and create significant problems for your local energy provider.

CalCCA members have testified before the Legislature for months about their support for a central buyer model that would create a true “backstop” to address reliability issues across the grid. They are prepared to work with the author and other stakeholders to address this clearly identified need and problem.

However, as currently drafted, AB 56 grants far too much authority to the CPUC to procure any energy resources as they see fit.

Please vote no.
