This is  troubling but not devastating.  I think we need to go back to the Leg and  get an intent letter so that as the PUC moves forward with implementing 28X they  remember that it supercedes the 99-10-025.  Then we need to come  together as an industry and lobby hard.

Subject: RE: Standby Charge decision by  CPUC
Yesterday the PUC defeated (3-2) on a party line vote the  proposed decision of Commissioner Bilas re interim policy on standby  charges.  Instead, the Commission approved Commissioner Wood's alternate,  which several parties (State Consumers, ORA, New Energy, Capstone, et al) had  protested.  My understanding is that Commr. Wood's alternate was approved  with no changes.  It agreed with utilities that standby charges should  not reflect diversity benefits of DG in distribution because none currently  exist.
This decision may have negative implications for the sharing  of grid benefits of DG with end use consumers and other distributed generators  who may provide them.
Best, 
Jay Morse, ORA
