SB 1368 – Greenhouse Gas Emissions Performance Standard
SB 1368 requires the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to set a global warming emissions standard for electricity used in California — regardless of whether it's generated in-state or purchased from plants in other states. The new standard applies to any new long-term financial contracts for base load electricity, and applies both to investor-owned utilities and municipal utilities.
CEC adopted its standard on May 23, 2007.
CPUC adopted its standard on January 25, 2007.
