California AB1191 amends the Renewables Portfolio Standard Program to redefine eligible renewable energy resources, including hydroelectric generation. It specifies that large hydroelectric generation facilities owned by local publicly owned electric utilities, the federal government, or joint powers agencies are eligible if they were operational as of January 1, 2018. It also allows for efficiency improvements at these facilities to be considered eligible if they do not adversely impact instream beneficial uses or change streamflow.
