Year Bill # Chapter Summary
1996 AB1890 854 Provided the framework for the deregulation of the electricity market in California, created the Independent System Operator (ISO) and the Power Exchange, and established the public goods surcharge for investor-owned utilities. The surcharge funded public interest programs including the Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program and renewable energy programs under the Energy Commission and efficiency programs under the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).

2002 SB 1078 516 Established the renewable portfolio standard, requiring retail sellers of electricity to increase procurement of electricity from renewable energy sources by at least one percent of retail sales per year until their portfolio of renewable energy increases to 20 percent. Set the deadline for reaching this threshold at 2017. Required municipal utilities to implement and enforce their own such program.
2005 AB 380 367 Required the CPUC in consultation with the ISO to establish resource adequacy requirements for most load serving entities. The bill also required the Energy Commission to report in each Integrated Energy Policy Report publicly owned electric utility progress towards meeting resource adequacy
