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
