Section 2832 Of Chapter 7.6. Green Tariff Shared Renewables Program From California Public Utilities Code >> Division 1. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 7.6.
2832
. (a) On or before March 1, 2014, a participating utility shall
file with the commission an application requesting approval of a
green tariff shared renewables program to implement a program that
the utility determines is consistent with the legislative findings
and statements of intent of Section 2831. Nothing in this chapter
limits an electrical corporation with less than 100,000 customer
accounts in California from filing an application with the commission
to administer a green tariff shared renewables program that is
consistent with the legislative findings and statements of intent of
Section 2831.
(b) On or before July 1, 2014, the commission shall issue a
decision on the participating utility's application for a green
tariff shared renewables program, determining whether to approve or
disapprove it, with or without modifications.
(c) After notice and an opportunity for public comment, the
commission shall approve an application by a participating utility
for a green tariff shared renewables program if the commission
determines that the program is reasonable and consistent with the
legislative findings and statements of intent of Section 2831.
(d) The requirements of this chapter shall not apply to an
electrical corporation that, prior to May 1, 2013, filed an
application with the commission to have a green tariff shared
renewables program, or an equivalent program of whatever name,
provided the commission approves the application with a determination
that the program does not shift costs to nonparticipating customers
and the application is consistent with this chapter. If the
commission has approved a settlement agreement relative to parties
contesting an application filed prior to May 1, 2013, the
requirements of this section shall not apply if the commission,
within a reasonable period of time, requires revisions to the
previously approved settlement agreement that requires the program to
be consistent with this chapter.
