Even though legislators have withdrawn virtually all of the bills we expected to support this session, SB 1215 is still alive. Sponsored by Senator Henry Stern, a known friend to Community Choice and champion of clean energy solutions, SD 1215 seeks to remove many of the barriers that now thwart the development of non-utility owned microgrids. Notably, it would place in law the requirement that IOUs cooperate, not impede, the creation of local microgrids.
