The new rules come as a sweltering heat wave washes over California, spiking the mercury 10 to 20 degrees above average and triggering California_ISO to issue flex alerts asking residents to dial back power use.
State lawmakers on Wednesday closed out the legislative session by passing a late-night flurry of bills aimed at slashing emissions and investing in clean energy, reasserting California’s role as an environmental leader on the national and global stage.
Still, the new rules come as a sweltering heat wave washes over California, spiking the mercury 10 to 20 degrees above average and triggering the California Independent System Operator to issue flex alerts asking residents to dial back power use. Still, this package did not deliver everything environmental advocates were hoping for. Notably, in a bid to avoid rolling blackouts, lawmakers voted to extend the life of the controversial Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, which generated 6% of California’s electricity last year but no carbon emissions.
Below are highlights of California’s climate and clean energy package, which Newsom has signed or is expected to sign into law by the end of the month.
