Notice of Meetings

On Tuesday, November 15, 2011, the Little Hoover Commission will conduct a public hearing on energy governance in California. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. in Room 437 of the State Capitol in Sacramento.

The Little Hoover Commission is reviewing the state’s coordination of energyrelated activities. This study will include an organizational evaluation of entities that share authority over energy policy, permitting and regulation. The Commission will examine previous consolidation efforts and assess how the state’s energy-related organizations are working together to achieve state goals and facilitate local efforts to improve the generation and delivery of power to consumers.

At the November 15, 2011 hearing, the Commission will hear about the operation and maintenance of the state’s electricity grid from a vice president with the California Independent System Operator Corporation. The Commission then will hear from the executive director of the Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies followed by a panel of representatives of the state’s three major investor-owned utilities, Pacific Gas & Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company and Southern California Edison. Finally, a panel representing public utilities who are members of the California Municipal Utilities Association will testify.

There will be an opportunity for public comment at the end of the hearing. The Commission also encourages written comments.

Immediately following the hearing, the Commission will hold a business meeting in the Legislative Counsel Conference Room located on the lower level of 925 L Street in Sacramento. A teleconference location which also will be accessible by the public during the business meeting will be at 3183 Airway Avenue #E in Costa Mesa, California.
