Has restructuring helped or hurt the development of renewable resources?
Restructuring is helping the development of renewable resources in California. AB1890 included a funding mechanism providing for sustained development of renewable energy projects as well as continued investment in energy conservation programs. These programs were extended in 2000 for another decade. As a result of CEC auctions, is distinguishable from the period prior to restructuring when efforts to add new renewable resources failed in the face of unrelenting opposition from SCE and SDG&E.
