Description

In May 2007 the Calif. Bureau of State Audits published its initial assessment of issues that pose a high risk to Calif., its citizens, and select state agencies. This initial assessment identified 5 significant statewide risk areas and 2 specific state agencies facing challenges to their day-to-day and long-term operations. Because of the ongoing challenges the State faces to ensure a reliable supply of electricity, which is critical to the economy and daily lives, the bureau has added the production and delivery of electricity to its list of high-risk issues. Since Calif.’s restructuring of the electricity industry in the late 1990s and the subsequent energy crisis of 2000 and 2001, the electricity sector has continued to evolve. In fact, industry observers suggest that the actions the State and other market participants have taken have decreased the risk of another energy crisis. However, these stakeholders continue to work to resolve issues and to further refine the actions taken to alleviate the earlier energy crisis. This report also identifies significant new issues and challenges in the electricity sector that the State faces, which have the potential to influence the supply of electricity, its transmission, and consumer rates.
