Under existing law, an electric supplier is required to serve its customers and expand its electric system as necessary to fulfill that duty.
Recently established federal regulations may prevent an electric supplier from constructing and maintaining the new electric transmission facilities that it needs to expand its system.
This bill would specify that an electric supplier would have the right to construct and maintain transmission facilities necessary to expand its system. The bill would provide for the appeal of disputes to circuit court.
