What it does

(1) Existing law authorizes the State Oil and Gas Supervisor to authorize the conversion of not more than 250 wells for use as gravity-based energy storage wells to evaluate their use, including the establishment of appropriate operating conditions and physical parameters to safely store and generate energy. Existing law repeals this authorization on January 1, 2035, and would specify that authorizations issued by the supervisor terminate on that date.
