  2. AB 2857 (Lieber)CARE Discount for Residential Submetered Customers • Introduces new Section (h) to PU Code 739.5. • Stipulates that the PUC cannot deny CARE eligibility to a residential submetered customer or tenant of a master-meter customer on the basis that some units of the master-meter do not receive service through a submetered system. • The bill addresses language in PU Code that appears to support different interpretations. • If enacted, additional research and work involving utility tariffs by Energy Division may become necessary. • CPUC supports with technical amendments. Specifically, clarifies that low income customers in a mobile home park would receive the CARE discount even if all the units within the facility are not submetered. • Status: AB 2857 has been enrolled and will be sent to the Governor for signature (or veto) as of 9/5/08

  3. SB 380 (Kehoe) RenewableElectric Generation Facilities: Feed-In Tariffs • Amends Section 399.20 of the Public Utilities Code. • This bill requires the Commission to establish feed-in tariffs (FITs) of 10, 15, or 20 years for energy generated by a renewable electric generation of no more than 1.5 megawatts (MW). The purpose of SB 380 is to codify the CPUC’s implementation of the AB 1969 program (Yee – relating to purchase of renewable electricity from public wastewater agencies), and to ensure that the three large IOUs offer the feed-in tariff to all customers. • The CPUC has not taken a formal position on SB 380. However, the CPUC supports a similar feed in tariff bill, SB 1714, which has been double-joined to this bill. SB 380 codifies much of what the CPUC had already done pursuant to CPUC decision, D07-09-040 (adoption of future pricing and policy for qualify facilities). • Status: SB 380 has been enrolled and will be sent to the Governor for signature (or veto) as of 08/27/08.

  4. AB 2309 (DeSaulnier)Energy Conservation: Residential Energy Efficiency Audit • Adds Chapter 6.1 (beg. Section 2790.1) to Part 2 of Division 1 of the Public Utilities Code. • Would require CPUC to determine whether to require electric corporations to provide owner-requested energy efficiency audits for owner-occupied residential buildings built before January 1, 2006. • CPUC opposes this bill. • The requirements set forth by this bill duplicate already ongoing work. • The bill asks CPUC and CEC to prioritize energy efficiency measures based on the measures’ ability to produce the most energy savings for the least cost. Status: AB 2309 has been enrolled and will be sent to the Governor for signature (or veto) as of 8/31/08
