BACKGROUND Pursuant to SB 350, as codified in California Public Utilities (P.U.) Code section 400 (g), the CPUC and the Energy Commission are to establish an Advisory Group consisting of representatives from disadvantaged communities. The Advisory Group shall review and provide advice on proposed clean energy and pollution reduction programs and determine whether those proposed programs will be effective and useful in disadvantaged communities. On August 1, 2017, the CPUC and the Energy Commission jointly released a staff proposal (Joint Staff Proposal) to generate public interest and solicit feedback on the structure and responsibilities of the Advisory Group. The staff proposal provided recommendations on Advisory Group size, meeting frequency, general range of subjects to be covered, as well as expected responsibilities. The proposal addressed a number of questions to stakeholders to give more shape to membership and scope of the new body’s work. The CPUC and Energy Commission received informal comments on the proposal through August 17, 2017. The CPUC and the Energy Commission posted a solicitation for Advisory Group membership on November 1, 2017 and expect to receive completed applications by December 22, 2017 for consideration by the two commissions.
