IN BRIEF
Proposed Changes
to the Guidelines for Emerging Renewables Resources Account
- The California Energy Commission's Electricity and Natural
Gas Committee (Committee) is
proposing substantive changes to the Guidebook for the Renewable
Energy Program, Volume 3 ‚ Emerging Renewable Resources
Account (Guidebook), Seventh Edition. The proposed changes
are summarized below. Attachment
A(200kb pdf) shows these changes relative to the current
Guidebook, which are dated September 2001. The Energy Commission
will consider adopting the proposed changes as part of its
regularly scheduled Business Meeting on: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER
19, 2001. The proposed changes to the Guidebook are summarized
as follows: 1).Add a provision to allow inverters sized
larger than any UL 1741 approved inverter to be eligible for
the program if specified field testing requirements are met.
2).Implement Assembly Bill 29x (AB 29x) by allowing customers
of local publicly owned electric utilities to qualify for
rebates from the Emerging Renewables Buydown program. AB 29x
provides a total of $8 million in funding for these customers
and limits eligibility to systems with a generating capacity
of 10 kilowatts or less. Written Comments The Committee
encourages interested members of the public to review and
comment on the proposed changes. Members of the public may
submit written or verbal comments at the Business Meeting
on December 19, 2001, but public members are strongly encouraged
to submit written comments by December 17, 2001.
