Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic lawmakers have released a suite of bills to reduce California 's soaring energy costs.

Critics say the plan seeks to reduce rising energy costs at the expense of key energy and climate programs.

Analysts say the cuts will amount to a one -time savings of about $30 per consumer.

Assembly Bill 3264 would require the Public Utilities Commission to develop a framework for assessing and analyzing total annual energy costs for residential households.

AB 3121 would cut solar and HVAC programs to provide one -time savings.

SB 1142 would require electric and gas utilities to reconnect service for customers who had it cut off because of nonpayment.

SB 1272 and SB 1420 would speed up clean energy development through limiting environmental review processes.
