Our September 2023 Power Generation & Supply Market Recap is a snapshot of the data and information we curate. We share industry drivers, notable projects, recent mergers and acquisitions, interesting reads, and updates on upcoming meetings and conferences.
To learn more about how we are helping power and coal ash industry leaders find new opportunities in their market of interest, schedule a market opportunity workshop.
Our data team tracks new and updated industry drivers. Here are some recent drivers we have been following in September:
Status: Proposed
Organization: California State Legislature
Summary: On September 14, 2023, the California Senate passed AB 1373, which aims to promote the development of renewable energy projects, especially offshore wind and geothermal energy, in the state. The bill would authorize the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to work with the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to purchase these types of clean energy through central procurement. The bill would also require the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to assess the barriers and benefits of these resources and allocate funds for workforce development grants.
