Standby Charges) 


The Distributed Energy Resources industry won a major battle yesterday.  The 
California Senate Energy and Utilities Committee passed on a 7-0 bipartisan 
vote, Sen. Morrow's (and while her name wasn't on this bill, it was as much 
Sen. Alpert's) bill on eliminating any tariff that discriminates against 
DER.  SBX 9 was derived from the omnibus DER bill SBX 35 which is still alive 
and contains many important provisions fro removing additional barriers.  
Yesterday's vote represents a major win because even if the bill ultimately 
does not get enacted, a very important statement has been made by the 
committee.  I'm sure the CPUC will take notice in their proceedings.
 
The DER community owes much thanks to Sen.'s Morrow and Alpert, and the 
Utilities Committee Members and their staffs:
Sen. Bowen (Chair)
Sen. Alarcon
Sen. Battin
Sen. Dunn
Sen. Murray
Sen. Poochigian
Sen. Sher
Sen. Speier
Sen. Vasconcellos
Sen. Vincent
 
Also much thanks to everyone who worked incredibly hard and diligently on 
this effort.  From the business, consumer advocacy, environmental, 
government, manufacturing, and real estate communities.
 
Here are the highlights of yesterday's actions:
 
1. For IOU's- No discriminatory tariffs for new DER installed between May 1, 
2000 and June 1, 2003 if DER is in combined heat and power mode.  If you have 
a peaking unit with gen only, then you have until  July 1 2001, to get it 
installed.  
2. DER installed within the window gets the exemption until June 1, 2011.
3. The maximum capacity of the DER is 5 MW in aggregate per site.
4. The DER must have emissions levels of 9 PPM or better until the ARB 
established new guidelines and standards, expected late this year or early 
next year.
5. Customers with DER are still required to pay interconnection, public 
purpose charges, and obligations incurred under the Dept. of Water Resources 
energy purchases program.
6. The CPUC shall require the electrical corporations to include non-utility 
owned DER in its planning process.
7. The CPUC is required to establish a firewall so that in the event that the 
implementation of DER results in net costs to the system, those costs stay 
within the customer class.
8. The CPUC shall require the utilities to establish new rates for DER that 
are non-discriminatory and take into account the benefits as well as the 
costs.
9. Muni's are required to review their tariffs for barriers to entry and hold 
public meetings to solicit comment for recommended changes.
Now we have momentum, but there is still a tremendous amount of work to do on 
the Assembly side and with Governor's office.  We need the continued 
(increased) support of all of you as we move this forward.
