Requesting California to require rate increases to guarantee payment for surplus power it receives from Washington state.

Summary

  • The Legislature requests the Governor of California, the California State Legislature and the California Public Utilities Commission to raise rates for California electric and gas utility customers in order to ensure that Washington utilities and energy marketers will receive payment for the electricity they were ordered by the federal government to sell to financially unstable California utilities.
