PROPOSED OUTCOME:
Adopts a Net Surplus Compensation (NSC) Rate for net energy metering customers who produce excess power over a 12-month period, pursuant to Assembly Bill 920. The NSC rate is calculated using the variable component of the Market Price Referent (MPR), adjusted for time of delivery factors.
Finds that net surplus generation should count toward the utilities' Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) targets. However, net surplus generation is not exempt from RPS certification, metering, and tracking requirements and will not count toward the utilities' RPS targets until the CEC finalizes a process for certifying net surplus generation facilities and tracking their output.
Specifies that the NSC rate includes a value for renewable attributes of the generation. Nevertheless, until the California Energy Commission (CEC) finalizes a process for certifying net surplus generation facilities and tracking their output, Net surplus generators will be compensated at an "energy-only rate," calculated as the difference between the time of delivery adjusted MPR and a renewable energy premium published by the Department of Energy (currently 1.83 cents/kWh). All net surplus generation will receive the "energy-only" rate until the CEC finalizes the Renewable Energy Credit REC certification and tracking process described above. This "energy only rate" is 7.58 cents/kWh for Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), 8.03 cents/kWh for Southern California Edison Company (SCE), and 6.54 cents/kWh for San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E).
Requires PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, Sierra Pacific Power Company, and PacifiCorp to each file a compliance advice letter to set their actual NSC rates.
Closes the proceeding.
ESTIMATED COST:
Assuming a full bundled Net Surplus Compensation rate in the range of $.08 to $.10 per kilowatt hour and annual net surplus generation for PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E of 12 million kWh, total net surplus compensation would range from $960,000 to $1.2 million annually.
