9616. (a) To the extent that doing so is cost effective, a local publicly owned electric utility providing electric service to 250,000 or more customers within the Los Angeles Basin shall maximize the use of demand response, renewable energy resources, and energy efficiency to reduce demand in the area where electrical reliability has been impacted as a result of reductions in gas storage capacity and gas deliverability resulting from the well failure at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility first reported to the commission in October 2015.

(b) For purposes of this section, “Los Angeles Basin” means the area identified as the “Aliso Canyon Delivery Area” on page 11 of the Aliso Canyon Risk Assessment Technical Report, dated April 5, 2016.
