California AB1975 establishes a grid utilization metric for electrical corporations to maximize existing infrastructure use.

California AB1975 mandates the California Public Utilities Commission to establish a grid utilization metric for electrical corporations. This metric calculates electrical load as a percentage of rated capacity. The commission must ensure this metric encourages electrification without inhibiting it. Large electrical corporations must propose grid utilization programs by July 31, 2028, to achieve the established metric minimum value. The commission will only approve programs that are feasible and cost-effective, considering costs or benefits to utility customers, including rate impacts.
