AB 59 aims to grant Reclamation District 108 (RD 108) the authority to continue exploring and developing hydroelectric power projects. This measure represents a forward-thinking step in energy innovation and water resource management.
Colusa County officials highlighted their longstanding partnership with RD 108, praising the district’s vital role in delivering water for agriculture while also leading in floodplain management, habitat restoration, and groundwater recharge efforts. The bill reflects a growing commitment in Northern California to invest in clean energy solutions that support both the environment and local economies.
