California AB44 mandates the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to define and publicize methodologies for load.

California AB44 requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to define and publicize methodologies for load modification protocols by which a load-serving entity may reduce or modify its electrical demand forecast. This bill aims to improve grid reliability and affordability by incorporating flexible and automated demand management capabilities into the state’s reliability planning and market. The commission will work with load-serving entities and resource aggregators to facilitate a high degree of confidence for flexible demand performance.
