Section 367.7 Of Article 6. Requirements For The Public Utilities Commission From California Public Utilities Code >> Division 1. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 2.3. >> Article 6.
367.7
. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
section to ensure that individual customers do not experience rate
increases as a result of the allocation of transition costs, in
accordance with paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) of Section 367.
(b) The commission shall implement a methodology whereby the Power
Exchange energy credit for a customer with a meter installed on or
after June 30, 2000, that is capable of recording hourly data is
calculated based on the actual hourly data for that customer. The
Power Exchange energy credit for a customer with a meter installed
before June 30, 2000, that is capable of recording hourly data shall,
at the election of the customer, on a one-time basis before June 30,
2000, be calculated based on either (1) the actual hourly data for
that customer or (2) the average load profile for that customer
class. If the customer fails to make an election, that customer's
Power Exchange energy credit shall continue to be based on the
average load profile for that customer class.
(c) Additional incremental billing costs incurred as a result of
the methodology implemented by the commission pursuant to subdivision
(b) may be recoverable through rates for that customer class, if the
commission finds that the costs are reasonable.
(d) The methodology implemented by the commission pursuant to
subdivisions (b) and (c) shall not result in any shifts in cost
between customer classes and shall be consistent with the firewall
provision set forth in subdivision (e) of Section 367.
