AB 1176

Local Electrification Planning Act

The transportation and built environment sectors are the primary areas that California’s greenhouse gas reduction goals focus on, as they make up most of our emissions. AB 1176 critically focuses on the intersection of these two sectors and the infrastructure that will be necessary in order to make meaningful progress towards both. AB 1176 would have ensured that city and county governments across the state are prepared for California’s transition to zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) and buildings by incorporating electrification considerations into the general planning process. The bill also would have required pivotal early coordination with load-serving entities or utility providers in order to identify and meet the need for grid infrastructure upgrades.
