California Clean Energy Curriculum and Training Initiative of 2009.

Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations. A decision of the PUC adopted the California Solar Initiative, an electrical corporation program to provide incentives for solar energy systems funded through rates paid by the electrical corporation ratepayers. Existing law requires local publicly owned electric utilities to initiate a public proceeding to fund a solar energy program to support the goal of installing 3,000 megawatts of photovoltaic solar energy in the state.
