California AB2163 creates a framework for designating Strategic Clean Energy and Critical Mineral Development Zones. These zones support large-scale clean energy production, critical mineral extraction, and related industries. To qualify, a zone must meet specific criteria, including renewable energy capacity, critical mineral deposits, and proximity to high-voltage transmission infrastructure. The California Energy Commission, in consultation with other state agencies, identifies and designates these zones based on county requests.
