Distributed energy resources: tariffs.

Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission to require each electrical corporation to establish new tariffs on or before January 1, 2003, for customers using distributed energy resources, but, after January 1, 2003, distributed energy resources that meet certain criteria are subject only to those tariffs in existence, until June 1, 2011, subject to a specified exception. Existing law requires those tariffs to ensure that all net distribution costs incurred to serve each customer class are fully recovered only from that class. Existing law requires the commission to prepare and submit to the Legislature, on or before June 1, 2002, a report describing its proposed methodology for determining the new rates and the process by which it will establish those rates. This bill would delete the reference to the report the commission is required to prepare and submit to the Legislature on or before June 1, 2002, that describes its proposed methodology for determining the new rates and the process by which it will establish those rates.
