The Good:

SB 913 “...virtual power plants... home batteries, solar panels, electric vehicles... linked together to relieve the... grid during times of peak demand.”

SB 905 “...require the CPUC to consider lowering utilities' profit on lower-risk investments, such as undergrounding power lines.”
California moves to limit utility profits and tap more power from homes
One of several bills signed this week is a law to advance the use of virtual power plants to make greater use of clean energy at home.
