Overview: AB 1117, the Electricity: rates: optional dynamic rate tariffs bill, was introduced in the California State Assembly on February 20, 2025 and is currently in committee.
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to provide electricity customers with the option to choose dynamic rate tariffs, which would allow for more flexible and potentially cost-saving electricity pricing based on real-time market conditions.
Key Provisions:
- Requires electric utilities to offer optional dynamic rate tariffs to residential and small commercial customers
- Allows customers to opt-in to dynamic rate plans that could vary electricity prices throughout the day based on factors such as supply, demand, and grid conditions
- Directs the California Public Utilities Commission to establish guidelines and requirements for the design and implementation of dynamic rate tariffs
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would primarily affect residential and small commercial electricity customers in California, who would have the choice to participate in dynamic rate programs. This could enable them to save money by shifting usage to lower-cost periods, but may also introduce more volatility in electricity bills.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: AB 1117 is currently being held in committee for further study and consideration.
