Section 934 - Commission's duties(a) On or before September 30, 2024, the commission shall do both of the following: (1) Establish reasonable average and maximum target energization time periods. The targets shall ensure that work is completed in a manner that minimizes delay in meeting the date requested by the customer to the greatest extent possible and prioritizes work in a manner consistent with Sections 932 and 933. The targets may vary depending on the complexity and magnitude of the work required and uncertainties regarding the readiness of the customer project needing energization. The targets may also recognize any factors beyond the electrical corporation's control.(2) Establish a procedure for customers to report energization delays to the commission.(b) If energization time periods exceed the commission's target averages or if the electrical corporation has a substantial number of energization projects that exceed the commission's target maximums, the electrical corporation shall include in its annual report a strategy for meeting the targets in the future. The commission may request modification of the electrical corporation's strategy to ensure the electrical corporation meets targets promptly and consistent with the policies set forth in Section 933.(c) Each electrical corporation shall report anonymized or averaged data to the extent necessary to prevent identifying individual customers. The commission shall require all reports to be publicly available.(d) The commission shall require the electrical corporation to take remedial actions necessary to achieve the targets established pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a).(e) The commission shall periodically update the energization time periods established in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) and the electrical corporation's annual reporting requirements to reflect changed circumstances, new information, and experience.Ca.
