Senate Bill 1078, the Bill that created California’s renewable energy standards, was structured to support the local control and flexibility of municipal utilities. The investor-owned utilities of California are required to comply with the standards, as the control of these utilities is in the hands of the government of California. However, municipal utilities are controlled locally by their respective governing boards or councils.
