Renewable Energy Programs Update

The recent documents related to A22-05-022 provide a comprehensive update on the state of renewable energy programs in California, focusing on the Net Value Billing Tariff (NVBT) and community solar projects. Here's a breakdown of the key points and positions from various stakeholders:

Overview of Renewable Energy Programs

  • The NVBT and community solar projects are at the forefront, with discussions on their potential to expand renewable energy access.
  • Criticisms target the Avoided Cost Calculator (ACC) for not fully recognizing the benefits of NVBT and potentially undermining renewable energy efforts.

Comments on Proposed Decision

  • The Coalition for Community Solar Access expresses concerns about the proposed decision not aligning with Assembly Bill 2316 and the potential cost shifts to nonparticipating customers.
  • Solar Landscape Origination LLC criticizes Pacific Gas and Electric Company's green tariff programs, suggesting modifications to better serve low-income households and increase the capacity of the Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff Program (DAC-GT).

FERC Orders and Cases

Discussions include FERC orders related to electric storage and distributed energy resources, emphasizing that community solar facilities and utilities do not engage in wholesale sales.

Treatment of Credits

The treatment of credits from net metering and community solar is debated, with a focus on retail rate design under state jurisdiction.

Solar for All Program and National Community Solar Partnership

The document highlights the importance of targeting low-income households and recommends utilizing various funding sources for renewable energy projects.

Potential Modifications to the NVBT

Suggestions include implementing a net surplus compensation framework and applying it to all surplus energy at the end of the NVBT facility’s Relevant Period.

Recommendations for the NVBT Program

The NVBT program is praised for its flexibility and contribution to peak load reductions, with a call for the Commission to confirm NVBT resources as load modifiers.

Use of Funding Sources

Recommendations include utilizing state and federal funding sources like AB 102 and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for renewable energy projects.

Targeting Low-Income Households

Emphasizes the importance of automatic enrollment and flat monetary credits on bills for existing program participants.

Challenges with PURPA Prices

Discusses the challenges with PURPA prices in attracting developers to community solar projects and suggests using additional funds to incentivize participation.

Stakeholder Comments

  • Valta Energy and The Clean Coalition support the NVBT for its potential to democratize access to solar energy and promote equitable distribution of economic benefits.
  • Concerns are raised about the commercial viability of the Community Renewable Energy Program (CREP) and the adequacy of compensation under PURPA’s framework.

Concusion

The documents collectively underscore the potential savings and advantages of deploying NVBT for renewable energy programs in California. Stakeholders urge the Commission to modify or reject the Proposed Decision based on these findings, highlighting the need for a program that benefits all ratepayers, promotes energy efficiency, and ensures participation from low-income households.

Last Week's New Ruling +1

Ruling Overview

This ruling from the California Public Utilities Commission addresses the provision of a clarified Excel file related to the Flexible Service Connection (FSC) Data Sheet.

Reference Dates

  • May 22, 2025: Administrative Law Judge’s (ALJ) Transparency Ruling (R.24-01-018)
  • April 2, 2025: Email Ruling mandating numerical data submissions in an unlocked Excel format

Parties Involved

  • Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E)
  • Southern California Edison...
    • Company (SCE)
    RequirementsPG&E and SCE are required to use the updated Clarified FSC Data Sheet attached to this ruling. This updated version corrects formatting and functionality issues identified in the original file while maintaining the original requirements of the Transparency Ruling.SupersessionThis ruling supersedes the previous May 22, 2025 ruling and is formally filed by the Docket Office.Last Week's New Comments +2CPUC Rulemaking 24-01-018: Recent Party Comments on Energization Timelines and Static Flexible Service ConnectionsThe California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has initiated Rulemaking 24-01-018 to establish energization timelines for new electric service connections. As part of this process, parties have submitted comments and data in response to a May 22, 2025 Administrative Law Judge’s Ruling, particularly regarding the transparency and implementation of Static Flexible Service Connection (FSC) offerings. The following is a sampling of parties' positions on key topics addressed in the most recent filings.Rulemaking Process Initiation
    • PG&E acknowledges the CPUC’s initiation of the rulemaking process to establish energization timelines.
    Static Flexible Service Connection (FSC) Data Submission and Transparency
    • PG&E responded to the CPUC’s inquiry by submitting detailed data on customers eligible for Static FSCs, using the updated Excel template provided by the Commission. The submission includes a data dictionary to clarify field definitions and any “N/A” entries, as well as information on customer load capacities, constraints, and service application details.
    • SCE provided data on customers eligible for Static FSCs in an attached Excel spreadsheet, including a 95% planned loading limit for the most constrained component. SCE clarified that emergency ratings are not considered in its FSC settings and added a supplemental “FCS Status” column for additional clarity.
    Approach to Load Limits and Grid Constraints
    • PG&E emphasized a tailored approach to managing load limits for customers, taking into account individual customer needs and grid conditions as reflected in the submitted data.
    • SCE reported that its FSC settings are based on planned loading limits, not emergency capacity, and provided circuit-level details for interested or participating FSC customers.
    Ongoing Engagement and Next Steps
    • SCE noted its intent to submit additional responses to other topics by June 13, 2025.
