Order Instituting Rulemaking to Develop Additional Methods to Implement the California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program.

Rulemaking 06-02-012

(Filed February 16, 2006)

1. Summary

· the RPS-eligible generator's first point of interconnection with the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) interconnected transmission system is with a California balancing authority, or

· the RPS-eligible energy from the transaction is dynamically transferred to a California balancing authority.

2. Introduction

[i]n order to attain a target of generating 20 percent of total retail sales of electricity in California from eligible renewable energy resources by December 31, 2010, and for the purposes of increasing the diversity, reliability, public health and environmental benefits of the energy mix. . . (§ 399.11(a).)2

3. Procedural Background

Under an unbundled REC regime, claim over the renewable attributes of energy produced by eligible renewable technologies can be transferred from the renewable generator to one LSE while the energy is delivered to another. However, once this transfer occurs, claim over the attributes cannot be resold. In contrast, under a tradable REC regime, although the concept of selling the energy and claim over the attributes to different parties remains intact, RECs may be transferred from the renewable generator to any third party, not just obligated LSEs. In addition, these attributes can be resold subsequent to the initial sale.6

Exploring the use of tradable RECs for RPS compliance by all RPS-obligated LSEs, including determining what attributes should be included in a REC;

Determining the appropriate treatment of RECs associated with energy generated by renewable customer-side distributed generation, after examination of two important issues-measurement of renewable output from customer-side distributed generation, and analysis of the impact of ratepayer subsidies of renewable distributed generation-in R.06-03-004; and

Determining the status of RECs associated with renewable energy generated by qualifying facilities (QFs) under contract with California utilities.

4. Discussion

4.1. RPS Regulatory Framework

● the requirements for RPS-eligible generation set out in Pub. Res. Code § 25741(b) and elaborated in the RPS Eligibility Guidebook;

● the requirements for delivery to California of RPS-eligible generation set out in Pub. Res. Code § 25741(a) and elaborated in the RPS Eligibility Guidebook;

● the authorization provided by § 399.16 for this Commission to allow the use of TRECs for RPS compliance;

● the authorization and requirements for the CEC's RPS certification, tracking, and verification responsibilities set out in § 399.13 and elaborated in the RPS Eligibility Guidebook and the WREGIS Operating Rules (June 4, 2007, as amended)26 ; and

● this Commission's responsibility to oversee RPS procurement and compliance by RPS-obligated LSEs.27

4.2. Authorization

4.3. Sources of TRECs

4.3.1. Larger-Scale RPS-Eligible Generation

4.3.2. Distributed Generation

4.3.2.1. WREGIS Requirements for DG

4.3.3. Availability of TRECs

4.4. Guiding Principles

1. Use of REC trading for RPS compliance should be consistent with the legislative goals for the RPS program.

2. REC trading should result in minimal disruption to the current RPS program.

3. REC trading should not increase the cost of RPS compliance in the near term, and should lower the cost of RPS compliance over the longer term.

4. REC trading should promote development of new infrastructure in California and neighboring states for renewable energy generation.

5. REC trading rules, guidelines, and policies should not be inconsistent with the development of a regional REC trading regime.

6. REC trading rules, guidelines, and policies should take account of the process of implementing California's greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction policy and the potential for regional or federal programs for GHG reduction.

7. REC trading rules, guidelines, and policies should meet the Commission's requirements for REC trading set out in D.03-06-071.

8. REC trading rules, guidelines, and policies should be simple, transparent, easily administered, uniformly applied, and equitable to all LSEs.

4.5. REC-Only Transactions

1. Expressly convey only RECs and not energy; or

2. Transfer both energy and RECs, but the energy associated with the RECs cannot serve California customer load.

· interconnected to a California balancing authority, or

· have a dynamic transfer agreement in place to allow the energy associated with the REC to be scheduled into a California balancing authority area, or

· the transaction must utilize firm transmission.

After reviewing numerous comments on this classification, we are persuaded that the fundamental principle that bundled transactions serve California load can be advanced by including in the "bundled transaction" category those transactions where the electricity is dynamically transferred for scheduling by the CAISO or another California balancing authority area. The parties agree that such transactions are "electrically equivalent" to the generator having a first point of interconnection with a California balancing authority area.

1. Expressly transfers only RECs, not energy;

2. Transfers RECs and energy but does not meet the Commission's criteria for a bundled RPS procurement transaction.

1. Transactions where the RPS-eligible generator's first point of interconnection with the WECC interconnected transmission system is with a California balancing authority;

2. Transactions in which the RPS-eligible from the transaction is dynamically transferred to a California balancing authority.

1. Energy Division staff will convene a workshop or workshops, and seek comments from the parties, to obtain information that will

2. The assigned Commissioner in R.08-08-009 or its successor is authorized to include the use of firm transmission arrangements for RPS procurement transactions in the scope of that proceeding.

3. The assigned Commissioner or assigned ALJ in that proceeding may schedule comments or briefing by the parties to aid the Commission in making a definitive determination about the classification of RPS procurement transactions using firm transmission arrangements.

4. After reviewing the information provided from the steps outlined above, the Commission may issue a decision on the issue of RPS procurement transactions using firm transmission services, may adopt a resolution, or may decide not to take further action with respect to such transactions.

· the progress of LSEs toward the 20% RPS target; and

· any other information the Director of Energy Division determines would be useful to the Commission.

4.10. Standard Terms and Conditions

4.11. Timing Issues

4.12. Comparison to March 2009 PD

1. In the March PD, the definition of a transaction as REC-only or bundled was based on analyzing the details of individual contractual arrangements. In the RPD, the definition of a REC-only transaction has been clarified and based on physical facts of interconnection between RPS-eligible generators and the WECC transmission system. In the RPD, this definition has been moved closer to the beginning of the discussion, to aid understanding of the following sections that set out various rules and requirements. In response to comments on the RPD, the RPD was modified to expand the classification of bundled contracts to include dynamic transfer arrangements, and to identify further work on including transactions with firm transmission as bundled.

2. In the March PD, the temporary limit on the use of TRECs for RPS compliance by the three large IOUs was set at 5% of APT; TRECs in excess of that amount could not be banked for RPS compliance in future years. In the RPD, a limit of 40% of APT is imposed, again only on the three large IOUs. TRECs in excess of the limit may be banked for use in future years, though the 40% limit continues to apply in each year. In view of the change to the criteria for the classification of REC-only contracts, the annual TREC usage limit has been changed to 25% of APT.

3. In the March PD, the process for reviewing the temporary limit on use of TRECs for RPS compliance and the temporary limit on the price an IOU may pay for a TREC was complex and uncertain. The RPD sets a time when the limits will expire, unless the Commission acts to review, extend, or modify these limits.

4.13. Next Steps

· the revision of utilities' least-cost best-fit methodologies to include evaluation of contracts for TRECs, and

· a process for approving utilities' short-term REC-only contracts.

· The quantity of procurement of TRECs by utilities and other LSEs;

· The prices for TRECs paid by utilities and other LSEs;

· The age of the generation facilities from which TRECs are procured, e.g., facilities built before 2005, facilities built after 2005, facilities that are planned or under construction;

· How close individual LSEs, as well as classes of LSEs, are to meeting the 20% RPS goal; and

· How the TRECs market is working, with respect to availability of TRECs in the market and the transparency and efficiency of the market's functioning.

5. Comments on Proposed Decision

6. Assignment of Proceeding

a. REC-only contracts between an LSE and one RPS-eligible generator supplying the TRECs may be earmarked.

b. RECs may not be unbundled or traded in the first three years of contracts (whether bundled or REC-only) that have been earmarked.

c. REC-only contracts that are used for earmarking will count against any TREC usage limitation in the year the TRECs are used for RPS compliance.

a. Expressly transfers only renewable energy credits and not energy from the seller to the buyer; or

b. Transfers both renewable energy credits and energy from the seller to the buyer but does not meet the Commission's criteria for considering a procurement transaction a bundled transaction for purposes of compliance with the California renewables portfolio standard.

a. Transactions in which energy is acquired from a generator certified as eligible for the California renewables portfolio standard and the generator has its first point of interconnection with the Western Electricity Coordinating Council interconnected transmission system with a California balancing authority; and

b. Transactions in which energy is acquired from a generator certified as eligible for the California renewables portfolio standard and the energy from the transaction is dynamically transferred to a California balancing authority area.

· Whether the generation facility or facilities producing the energy eligible for the California renewables portfolio standard that is associated with the renewable energy credits to be procured entered commercial operation prior to January 1, 2005, or after January 1, 2005, or was not in commercial operation at the time the contract was signed;

· the sum of all delivered and expected tradable renewable energy credits purchased through contracts executed by the utility to date and how this compares to any applicable annual limit on the use of tradable renewable energy credits for compliance with the California renewables portfolio standard;

· the sum of all delivered and expected tradable renewable energy credits purchased by that utility through contracts for the procurement of renewable energy credits only with facilities that are or were already online as of the execution date of their associated contract for procurement of tradable renewable energy credits , and how this compares to the applicable annual limit on the use of tradable renewable energy credits for compliance with the California renewables portfolio standard;

· the sum of all delivered and expected tradable renewable energy credits purchased by that utility through contracts for the procurement of renewable energy credits only with facilities that are not or were not online as of the execution dates of their associated contracts, and how this compares to the applicable annual limit on the use of tradable renewable energy credits for compliance with the California renewables portfolio standard;

· a comparison of the price of the renewable energy credits in the contract that is the subject of the advice letter and the price of renewable energy credits from all contracts for the procurement of renewable energy credits only with facilities that were online as of the execution date of their associated contracts; and

· a comparison of the price of the renewable energy credits in the contract that is the subject of the advice letter and the price of renewable energy credits from all contracts for the procurement of renewable energy credits only with facilities that were not yet online as of the execution date of their associated contracts.

a. STC REC-1. Transfer of renewable energy credits

    Seller and, if applicable, its successors, represents and warrants that throughout the Delivery Term of this Agreement the renewable energy credits transferred to Buyer conform to the definition and attributes required for compliance with the California Renewables Portfolio Standard, as set forth in California Public Utilities Commission Decision 08-08-028, and as may be modified by subsequent decision of the California Public Utilities Commission or by subsequent legislation. To the extent a change in law occurs after execution of this Agreement that causes this representation and warranty to be materially false or misleading, it shall not be an Event of Default if Seller has used commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such change in law.

b. STC REC-2. Tracking of RECs in WREGIS

    Seller warrants that all necessary steps to allow the renewable energy credits transferred to Buyer to be tracked in the Western Renewable Energy Generation Information System will be taken prior to the first delivery under the contract.

"CPUC Approval" means a final and non-appealable order of the CPUC, without conditions or modifications unacceptable to the Parties, or either of them, which contains the following terms:

(a) approves this Agreement in its entirety, including payments to be made by the Buyer, subject to CPUC review of the Buyer's administration of the Agreement; and

(b) finds that any procurement pursuant to this Agreement is procurement of renewable energy credits that conform to the definition and attributes required for compliance with the California Renewables Portfolio Standard, as set forth in California Public Utilities Commission Decision 08-08-028, and as may be modified by subsequent decision of the California Public Utilities Commission or by subsequent legislation, for purposes of determining Buyer's compliance with any obligation that it may have to procure eligible renewable energy resources pursuant to the California Renewables Portfolio Standard (Public Utilities Code Section 399.11 et seq.), Decision 03-06-071, or other applicable law.

CPUC Approval will be deemed to have occurred on the date that a CPUC decision containing such findings becomes final and non-appealable.

Governing Law. This agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed, enforced and performed in accordance with the laws of the state of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. To the extent enforceable at such time, each party waives its respective right to any jury trial with respect to any litigation arising under or in connection with this agreement.

COMPLIANCE QUESTIONS

STRAW PROPOSAL

 

Market Participants

· Who can participate in the California compliance REC market?

· Should the REC trading rules

differ for third parties (any non

RPS-obligated entity)?

There are no limits on market participation.

To the greatest extent possible, rules should be consistent for all participants.

TREC Usage Limits

· Pursuant to Pub. Util. Code § 399.16(a)(7), the Commission may limit the quantity of tradable RECs (TRECs) procured for RPS compliance.

· Should there be a limit on the quantity of tradable RECs that can be used by LSEs for RPS compliance? Should the limit be different for different classes of LSEs?

To address usage limits, a minimum quota mechanism, similar to the one set forth in D.07-05-028 for short term contracts, will be applied to TRECs.

The minimum quota will allow, in any calendar year, LSEs to count short-term REC contracts for RPS compliance only if, in the same calendar year, the LSE signs long-term bundled contracts or bundled contracts with new facilities whose aggregated annual expected deliveries131 total at least 0.25% of its prior year's retail sales.

 

Flexible Compliance: Banking

· Should tradable RECs have an "expiration date"?

· Should RPS-obligated LSEs be able to "bank" tradable RECs without limitation as to quantity?

· Should RPS-obligated LSEs be able to "bank" tradable RECs without temporal limitations?

Note: Currently, there are no temporal or

quantity restrictions for banking bundled

RPS contracts. Flexible compliance is

tracked for each LSE in its Reporting and

Compliance Spreadsheet submitted in

biannual performance reports required by D.06-10-050.

Banking within WREGIS

In order for tradable RECs to be used for RPS compliance, they must be retired132 in WREGIS within three compliance years (including compliance year in which it was generated).133

Banking after WREGIS

After RECs are retired in WREGIS, they can be banked indefinitely for RPS compliance purposes.

The flexible compliance for RECs and RPS bundled procurement will be tracked by the Compliance Spreadsheets submitted as part of the biannual Compliance Reports (D.06-10-050).

Flexible Compliance: Earmarking

· Should earmarking134 be allowed for

TRECs?

No tradable RECs can be used for earmarking.

No forward REC contracts can be used for earmarking.

Treatment of Bundled135 Contracts

· What types of existing and future bundled RPS contracts can be unbundled for REC trading (excluding contracts pursuant to Pub. Util. Code § 399.16(a) for which no RECs will be created)?

Beginning on January 1, 2009, LSEs can unbundle and sell the RECs (that are tracked in WREGIS) from currently operational RPS projects. (Once the RECs are sold, they cannot be used for RPS compliance by the selling LSE. The null power also cannot be used for RPS compliance by any LSE.)

Beginning on January 1, 2009, LSEs can unbundle and sell RECs (that are tracked in WREGIS), on a forward basis, from Commission-approved RPS projects that are not yet online. (Once the RECs are sold, they cannot be used for RPS compliance by the selling LSE. The null power also cannot be used for RPS compliance.)

However, LSEs cannot unbundle the first year of a bundled contract if it has been set aside for RPS earmarking.

    - LSEs can unbundle subsequent years of an earmarked bundled contract

Cost Recovery

· What is the review and approval process for IOU REC contracts? (Currently, all IOU bundled RPS contracts must be filed by advice letter. The contract review process for short-term bundled contracts is being separately developed in R.06-02-012.)

· What price evaluation mechanism should the

Commission use to evaluate whether a REC contract price is reasonable?

· Should the Commission establish standard terms and conditions (modifiable and/or non-modifiable) to be contained in REC contracts?

Review process:

Long-term REC contracts (either from a solicitation or bilateral) must be filed with the Commission by advice letter. All short-term REC contracts should follow the same approval process that is established in R.06-02-012 for short-term bundled contracts.

Price evaluation criteria:

IOUs should solicit REC contracts in their annual renewable RFOs. As part of this process, the IOUs must modify their least cost, best fit (LCBF) evaluation methodologies to shortlist the most competitive REC contracts. The LCBF methodology should compare the benefits and costs of bundled contracts with REC transactions and evaluate them relative to the LSE's entire RPS portfolio.

A price cap will also be used to protect ratepayers from unreasonable costs. The price cap for any REC contract (short term, long term, bid into a solicitation, bilateral) is $35/REC levelized using the IOU's approved discount rate.

Bilateral REC contracts are allowed also and are subject to the $35/REC levelized price cap.

Standard terms and conditions:

Each REC contract must contain a Commission-approved term identifying the RECs and their attributes transferred to the buyer. This term is not modifiable.

1 RPS legislation is codified at Pub. Util. Code §§ 399.11-399.20. Unless otherwise indicated, all subsequent citations to sections refer to the Public Utilities Code, and citations to rules refer to the Rules of Practice and Procedure, which are codified at Chapter 1, Division 1 of Title 20 of the California Code of Regulations.

2 The Legislature also described the benefits to be expected from the RPS program:

(b) Increasing California's reliance on eligible renewable energy resources may promote stable electricity prices, protect public health, improve environmental quality, stimulate sustainable economic development, create new employment opportunities, and reduce reliance on imported fuels.

(c) The development of eligible renewable energy resources and the delivery of the electricity generated by those resources to customers in California may ameliorate air quality problems throughout the state and improve public health by reducing the burning of fossil fuels and the associated environmental impacts and by reducing in-state fossil fuel consumption.

(d) The California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program is intended to complement the Renewable Energy Resources Program administered by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission and established pursuant to Chapter 8.6 (commencing with Section 25740) of Division 15 of the Public Resources Code.

3 For ease of reference, § 399.16 is reproduced as Appendix A.

4 The REC white paper may be found at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/word_pdf/REPORT/55606.doc.

5 Comments were filed by Central California Power; Sustainable Conservation; Powerex Corp. (Powerex); California Solar Energy Industries Association (CalSEIA), Clean Power Markets, Inc., PV NOW, Vote Solar Initiative (jointly); Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E); Mountain Utilities (MU); Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA); Southern California Edison Company (SCE); San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), Pilot Power Group, Inc. (Pilot Power); Alliance for Retail Energy Markets (AReM), Western Power Trading Forum (WPTF) (jointly); Aglet Consumer Alliance (Aglet); Green Power Institute (GPI); Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies (CEERT); Independent Energy Producers Association (IEP); Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS); The Utility Reform Network (TURN); and California Large Energy Consumers Association and California Manufacturers and Technology Association (jointly).

6 REC white paper at 1, n. 1; D.06-10-019 at 33.

7 In view of our decision to authorize the use of tradable RECs, we will not use the category of "unbundled REC" in this decision. We will refer to transactions in which only TRECs (not energy) are bought or sold as "TREC transactions" or "REC-only transactions." If the context requires a reference to "RECs" because, for example, the RECs were procured through a bundled contract, the RECs so referenced should be presumed to be tradable (unless they are RECs governed by §§ 399.16(a)(5) or (6), as explained in § 4.8, below).

8 Pub. Util. Code §§ 399.16(a)(6), (5).

9 Section 399.16(a)(1).

10 The resolution and attached final report are available at  

11 See http://energy.ca.gov/2008publications/CEC-300-2008-001/CEC-300-2008-001-CMF.PDF.

12 The workshop notice and the assigned Administrative Law Judge's rulings seeking pre-workshop and post-workshop comments were circulated to the service lists in this proceeding, R.06-05-027 (RPS administration), R.06-03-004 (distributed generation and California Solar Initiative), and R.06-04-009 (greenhouse gas policy). The workshop presentations are available at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/energy/electric/RenewableEnergy/misc/recpresentations.htm.

13 Pre-workshop comments in response to the ALJ's Ruling Requesting Pre-Workshop Comments on Tradable Renewable Energy Credits (July 19, 2007) were filed by Central California Power; Powerex, Solar Alliance; PacifiCorp; CEERT; Sustainable Conservation; AReM and WPTF (jointly); CalpinePowerAmerica-CA, LLC (Calpine); Coral Power, LLC; SDG&E; Aglet; IEP; PG&E; UCS; SCE; GPI; PPM Energy, Inc.; CPV Renewable Energy Company, LLC; and Sempra Energy Solutions.

14 Post-workshop comments were filed by PG&E; GPI; Powerex; SDG&E; Golden State Water Company; IEP; Pilot Power; Central California Power; EcoSecurities; DRA; CEERT; Calpine Corporation and Calpine (jointly); AReM and WPTF (jointly); MU; SCE; TURN; PacifiCorp; California Farm Bureau Federation and Sustainable Conservation (jointly); Solar Alliance and CalSEIA (jointly).

15 Post-workshop reply comments were filed by Central California Power; PacifiCorp; Aglet; UCS; California Farm Bureau Federation, Inland Empire Utilities Agency, Sustainable Conservation (jointly); Recurrent Energy, Inc., Solar Alliance, CalSEIA (jointly); Calpine Corporation and Calpine (jointly); TURN; IEP; AReM; SCE; MU; CEERT; SDG&E; DRA; GPI; and PG&E.

16 Parties were notified informally by e-mail on May 28, 2008.

17 Reply comments were filed on June 11, 2008 by AReM and WPTF (jointly; collectively, AReM); DRA; GPI; IEP; SCE, PG&E, PacifiCorp, Sierra Pacific, and SDG&E (jointly; collectively, IOUs); Solar Alliance and CalSEIA; TURN; and UCS.

18 Although the definition of a REC is central to the tradability of a REC, the details of D.08-08-028 are largely not relevant to this decision. One convention that should be kept in mind throughout the discussion, however, is that one REC represents the environmental and renewable attributes associated with one megawatt-hour (MWh) of RPS-eligible generation. See WREGIS Operating Rules, section 2, which may be found at http://www.wregis.org/content/blogcategory/26/47/.

19 The RPS Eligibility Guidebook is available at http://www.energy.ca.gov/2007publications/CEC-300-2007-006/CEC-300-2007-006-ED3-CMF.PDF.

20 Comments were filed by Aglet, AReM, Bear Valley Electric Service (BVES), Calpine, CEERT, DRA, GPI, Horizon Wind Energy and Iberdrola Renewables (jointly; collectively, Horizon), IEP, MU, PG&E, PacifiCorp, Powerex, SDG&E, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), SCE, UCS, and Wal-Mart.

21 Reply comments were filed by Aglet, AReM, IEP, Large-scale Solar Association, PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, TURN, and UCS.

22 Comments were filed by Aglet, BVES, SCE, PacifiCorp, Solar Alliance, NaturEner USA LLC, CEERT, SDG&E, Evolution Markets, Inc., AReM and WPTF (jointly; collectively, AReM), UCS, SMUD, IEP, Horizon, PG&E, DRA, TURN, GPI, and Large Scale Solar Association (LSA).

23 Reply comments were filed by Aglet, Iberdrola, PacifiCorp, PG&E, AReM, MU, BVES, Large Scale Solar Association, SCE, UCS, CEERT, and NaturEner.

24 The transferred issues are:

a. The revision of utilities' least-cost best-fit methodologies to include evaluation of REC-only contracts.

b. The process of approval of utilities' bundled energy and REC-only short-term contracts (whether bilateral or the result of solicitations) and long-term bilateral contracts.

c. The development of price benchmarks for evaluating the reasonableness of utilities' short-term bundled contracts (whether bilateral or the result of solicitations) and long-term bilateral bundled contracts.

25 The most important CEC guidance for purposes of this decision is found in the CEC's RPS Eligibility Guidebook.

26 The WREGIS Operating Rules may be found at http://wregis.org/Documents.php.

27 See, e.g., § 399.14; D.03-06-071; D.05-07-039.

28 See Pub. Res. Code § 25741(b). The CEC's guidance on these requirements is provided in the RPS Eligibility Guidebook at 7-23.

29 Pub. Res. Code § 25741(a) provides:

30 See, e.g., Renewables Portfolio Standard 2005 Procurement Verification (August 2007), which may be found at http://www.energy.ca.gov/2007publications/CEC-300-2007-001/CEC-300-2007-001-CMF.PDF.

31 The system for reporting and compliance determination is set forth in D.06-10-050.

32 AReM, Central California Power, and IEP.

33 AReM, Horizon, PacifiCorp, SDG&E, PG&E.

34 RPS-obligated LSEs comprise regulated utilities, community choice aggregators (CCAs), and electric service providers (ESPs). In this decision, utilities are sometimes referred to in groupings of "large utilities" (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E), "small utilities" (Bear Valley Electric Service and Mountain Utilities), and "multi-jurisdictional utilities" (PacifiCorp and Sierra Pacific).

35 AReM, IEP, PG&E, and SDG&E. GPI and UCS are less certain, but suggest this could be a benefit.

36 CEERT, IEP, PG&E, and SDG&E.

37 AReM, CEERT, Coral Power, Horizon, IEP, PG&E, and SDG&E.

38 This authorization is qualified by the restrictions on the use of RPS-eligible generation from facilities with contracts with California LSEs or POUs prior to 2005 in which the ownership of RECs is not specified, and from QFs with contracts with California utilities pursuant to PURPA signed after January 1, 2005. (§§ 399.16(a)(5), (6).) These restrictions are discussed further in § 4.8 below.

39 These parties include AReM, BVES, DRA, IEP, SDG&E, and TURN.

40 Pursuant to § 399.16(a)(6), RPS-eligible generation from a QF under a California PURPA contract may count for RPS compliance, but may not be the basis of a TREC.

41 Formal determination of the RPS eligibility of types of generation or particular systems is made by the CEC. The most current statement of CEC guidance is the RPS Eligibility Guidebook, (3d ed., December 2007), available at http://www.energy.ca.gov/2007publications/CEC-300-2007-006/CEC-300-2007-006-ED3-CMF.PDF. The RPS Eligibility Guidebook provides that "[t]he Energy Commission will not certify distributed generation facilities as RPS-eligible unless the CPUC authorizes tradable RECs to be applied toward the RPS." (at 18.)

42 The CEC has likewise determined that RECs associated with customer-side DG belong to the DG system owner, irrespective of participation in the NSHP. See New Solar Homes Partnership Guidebook (revised 2d edition August 2008) at 7-8. This guidebook is available at

43 TRECs from RPS-eligible DG installations that are tracked in WREGIS are, for RPS compliance purposes, the same as TRECs from RPS-eligible utility-scale generation. No matter the type of DG generation or the kind of transaction, RECs associated with RPS-eligible DG-like RECs from any other RPS-eligible generation-"shall be counted only once for compliance with the renewables portfolio standard of this state or any other state, or for verifying retail product claims in this state or any other state." (§ 399.16(a)(2).)

44 In D.09-06-049, the Commission approved a new SCE program to procure RPS-eligible energy from rooftop solar PV installations of one to two MW in size. Because the program is new, it is not currently possible to know what, if any, impact it will have on DG as a resource for RPS procurement over the next two to three years.

45 With respect specifically to solar PV installations, Appendix F to the Operating Rules allows aggregation of rooftop solar installations in certain circumstances. Appendix F may be found at http://www.wregis.org/Documents.php.

46 Operating Rules 9.3.3. The WREGIS rules allow government regulators or voluntary program administrators to make exceptions to this rule.

47 For example, a CSI-subsidized installation taking advantage of the expected performance based buydown (EPBB) program is required to have a meter accurate only to +/-5%. Projects using the CSI performance-based incentives are required to have a meter accurate to +/-2%. Unless the owner of a project with an EPBB incentive voluntarily installs the more accurate (and more expensive) meter, WREGIS would not, under its current rules, allow any RECs to be registered from that facility without an exception authorized by a regulatory agency. For California RPS purposes, the CEC is the relevant agency, since it determines RPS eligibility.

48 Pub. Res. Code § 25741(b)(2)(B) allows RPS-eligible generation from facilities located outside California to count for RPS compliance provided, among other things, the facility began commercial operation after January 1, 2005.

49 We do, however, note IEP's suggestion that the commitment to equity should be applied to all TREC market participants, not simply LSEs.

50 Firming and shaping are methods of using other generation resources to supplement the delivery of power from intermittent renewable resources. A fuller explanation is provided in Appendix A of the REC White Paper. This is different from the necessary use of ancillary services within a balancing authority area to manage deliveries from intermittent resources, for example CAISO's Participating Intermittent Resources Program, discussed in D.06-10-019, at 37.

51 Both resource diversification and price stability have been identified by the Legislature in § 399.11 as among the potential benefits of the RPS program.

52 The large utilities point out that they can also provide hedging at the level of their entire portfolios. While true, this does not eliminate the value to ratepayers of fixed-price RPS contracts that deliver energy to California customer load as specific elements of an IOU's hedging portfolio.

53 In full, the examples are:

54 TURN cites to DRA's Protest to PG&E Advice Letter 3183-E (January 10, 2008).

55 In light of the comprehensive statutory allocation of responsibility, we reject SMUD's unsupported assertion in its comments on the RPD that the CEC, rather than this Commission, has authority to designate a contract as REC-only or bundled.

56 In comments filed in April 2009, DRA, GPI, Iberdrola/Horizon and UCS support the classification determination made in the March PD.

57 The North American Electricity Reliability Corporation (NERC) defines a balancing authority area as "[t]he collection of generation, transmission, and loads within the metered boundaries of the Balancing Authority. The Balancing Authority maintains load resource balance within this area." The balancing authority is "[t]he responsible entity that integrates resource plans ahead of time, maintains load-interchange-generation balance within a Balancing Authority Area, and supports Interconnection frequency in real time." NERC, Glossary of Terms Used in Reliability Standards, at 21 (February 12, 2008). This glossary may be found at http://www.nerc.com/files/Glossary_12Feb08.pdf.
For convenience only, we will sometimes refer to such generation as "not directly interconnected." This phrasing is not intended to create any new category of generation or transmission, nor to substitute for the generally accepted terms of art in the industry. It is intended solely to reduce readers' fatigue.

58 See CAISO Dynamic Transfer Issue Paper (Nov. 30, 2009) at 5-6, available at http://www.caiso.com/2476/2476ecfa5f550.pdf.

59 As Sempra Generation notes, CAISO currently has one pseudo tie pilot project with an RPS eligible generator. The Commission approved the RPS procurement contract for that project in Res. E-4302 (Dec. 21, 2009), found at http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/WORD_PDF/FINAL_RESOLUTION/111507.PDF.

60 As UCS points out in its comments on the RPD, dynamic transfer is a rapidly changing area. We therefore expect Energy Division staff to make periodic updates to the methods described here, if that is necessary.

61 They include AReM, Iberdrola, IEP, LSA, LS Power, SDG&E, and Sempra Generation.

62 For ease of reference, the Straw Proposal is attached as Appendix B. Appendix B does not contain the "rationale" sections provided with the straw proposal attached to the ALJ's ruling.

63 Those that entered commercial operation on or after January 1, 2005.

64 Contracts with durations of 10 years or more.

65 Section 399.14(b) provides that:

66 D.07-05-028, Ordering Paragraph 5.

67 UCS proposes that this figure be 0.75%, rather than 0.25%.

68 Aglet makes a different type of proposal: that IOUs be allowed to engage in REC-only transactions with other IOUs, but only limited TREC transactions with other LSEs. Aglet does not address third-party market participants. No other party supports this proposal.

69 The parties sometimes use the term "price stability" and sometimes use the term "hedging" to refer to reducing the risk of uncertain cost impacts on ratepayers. In this decision, we will refer to price stability, consistent with the Legislature's finding that the RPS program "may promote stable electricity prices." (§ 399.11(b).)

70 See, for example, the concerns expressed in comments on the RPD and prior versions of the PD by Aglet, Calpine, DRA, PG&E, SCE, and TURN.

71 Aglet and DRA, for example, have presented their concerns about value to ratepayers from the earliest stages of our consideration of the use of TRECs for RPS compliance.

72 APT for any year prior to 2010 is determined by taking the prior year's APT and adding 1% of the prior year's retail sales (the incremental procurement target, or IPT). D.06-10-050, Attachment A. For 2010 and later years in which APT is 20% of retail sales, APT is calculated as 20% of the current year's retail sales. D.09-11-028.

73 As explained in § 4.5, above, if the deliveries from a contract approved prior to the effective date of this decision would put a utility over the 25% usage limit in any year, the limit will not apply to the deliveries from the previously approved contract.

74 These include Aglet, LSA, TURN, and UCS.

75 GPI presented calculations suggesting that the limit of 5% of APT would not allow the use of TRECs to make any significant contribution to the attainment of the 20% goal by 2010 (or later, applying the flexible compliance rules) on a statewide basis.

76 Of course, because MU is not now connected to the California grid, it simply cannot procure electricity from third parties.

77 In their supplemental comments, Calpine, DRA, and UCS all recognize the difficult situations of the small utilities, and make varying suggestions for providing them with more flexibility in meeting RPS requirements. We do not adopt any particular suggestion, but acknowledge the concerns of these parties.

78 See D.08-05-029 at 34.

79 SB 695 (Kehoe), Stats. 2009, ch. 337, added a requirement that, after certain steps have been taken for limited reopening of direct access, the Commission must undertake equalization of RPS requirements as between ESPs and the large IOUs. In its comments on the RPD, TURN strongly urges that we make the usage limit apply to ESPs in the same way as to large IOUs now. We prefer to approach equalization of RPS requirements through a comprehensive review of all program requirements to be undertaken in R.08-08-009, rather than by changing this one element of the RPD now.

80 If the limit is exceeded in any year by virtue of deliveries from contracts approved by the Commission prior to the effective date of this decision, the limit will not be applied to those deliveries.

81 These amendments should include as much detail as currently possible on whether the utility intends to use long-term or short-term contracts, and whether the utility expects to contract with newly constructed generation, or acquire TRECs from facilities that are currently on line.

82 The possible development of an analogous process for short-term TREC contracts will be taken up in R.08-08-009.

83 See Scoping Memo and Ruling of Assigned Commissioner (September 26, 2008) at 4.

84 This aspect of the Straw Proposal seeks to remove the incentive for a utility to pay any price, however high, that it believes this Commission would allow it to recover in rates; or alternatively, to pay the Commission-allowed amount plus $49.99 (one cent less than the current penalty amount of $50/MWh) for a TREC, a scenario identified by SCE in its post-workshop comments. Even if shareholders paid the extra amount, the market price of TRECs could be driven beyond the reach of most RPS-obligated LSEs.

85 Information on recent TREC prices in markets in other states, provided by Aglet in its supplemental comments, shows that prices vary from a low range (less than $5/REC) through a few in the range of $25/REC, to, in one instance, a high of $48/REC.

86 Aglet, Calpine, DRA, IEP, PG&E, TURN, and UCS all make this point.

87 BVES and Central California Power also support it. Aglet suggests a more complex calculation that would impose a significantly lower cap, but only on IOU cost recovery for TRECs purchased from unregulated LSEs. Aglet's suggestion is not consistent with an integrated, liquid TREC market, and does not account for the participation of other, non-LSE entities in the TREC market.

88 GPI and UCS take this position. UCS also expresses a concern that the $35 price cap in the Straw Proposal might be too low in current market conditions to provide incentives for new renewable construction, though the basis for that concern is not clear.

89 Calpine, CEERT, Horizon, IEP, PG&E, and Solar Alliance take this position.

90 This does not mean that purchasing TRECs for the amount of the price cap is per se reasonable. We will evaluate the reasonableness of TREC purchases by utilities in the contract approval process. IOUs must provide sufficient information to the Commission to demonstrate that a TREC contract price is reasonable.

91 In prior comments, Evolution Markets suggested that more detail on the price calculation would be valuable.

92 This is analogous to the provision, with respect to bundled contracts, that no IOU is required to purchase bundled electricity at a price above the market price referent if its cost limitation has been exceeded. (§ 399.15(d)(3).)

93 The relevant parts of § 399.16 are:

94 Evolution Markets, PacifiCorp, and SCE address this issue.

95 The rules for transfers between accounts in WREGIS are set out in section 15 of the WREGIS Operating Rules.

96 PacifiCorp points out in its comments on the RPD that MJUs may use generation under PURPA contracts with QFs in other states to meet their California RPS obligations. Any MJU claiming such generation for RPS compliance purposes should consult with CEC staff to ensure that the generation is properly accounted for and the RECs associated with it are treated as required by this decision.

97 See, e.g., D.06-05-037, D.06-10-050, D.07-02-011, and D.08-02-008.

98 Section 399.14(a)(2)(C)(i) provides in relevant part that

99 See D.06-10-050 at 24.

100 WREGIS Certificates do not have an expiration date. (Operating Rules at 34.)

101 Under WREGIS rules, a REC can be maintained in an active sub-account indefinitely, though a REC can only be used for RPS compliance if it is transferred to a retirement sub-account for that purpose. However, a REC maintained in an active sub-account beyond the time period set forth in this decision could not be used for RPS compliance, though it would be available for other purposes.

102 The staff presentation on "Compliance Rules: Consensus and Unresolved Issues" provided this information at the TREC workshop.

103 As explained in § 4.8, a special process for retiring RECs in WREGIS applies to those transactions that are subject to the restrictions in §§ 399.16(a)(5) and (6).

104 This timing rule applies to the REC, not to the LSE or other market participant. A TREC may be traded several times within the three-year period; it may count for RPS compliance as long as it is retired in WREGIS within the period. The LSE retiring the REC for RPS compliance may have retained that REC in its active WREGIS sub-account for months, or acquired it only the day before it is retired.

105 Energy Division staff should review the RPS compliance spreadsheet and reporting rules to determine whether additional reporting requirements should be imposed to track these transactions.

106 In principle, the original LSE could buy some or all of the RECs back at a later point. As the owner of the RECs, it could then retire them for RPS compliance.

107 "Earmarking" is a flexible compliance mechanism by which deliveries from a future RPS procurement contract may be designated to make up, within three years, shortfalls in RPS procurement in the same year in which the earmarked contract was signed. As part of the earmarking process, Energy Division staff reviews the contract proposed for earmarking to ascertain whether the contract is likely to deliver as proposed, since it is covering an already-incurred shortfall.

108 D.03-06-071; D.08-02-002.

109 See D.03-06-071; D.03-12-065.

110 D.05-07-039.

111 A standardized RPS reporting format and a process for considering changes to the reporting format were adopted in R.06-05-027 by an ALJ's Ruling Adopting Standardized Reporting Format, Setting Schedule For Filing Updated Reports, and Addressing Subsequent Process (ALJ's Reporting Ruling) (March 12, 2007).

112 Reporting formats include the semiannual compliance spreadsheets and any other documentation needed to report on RPS compliance.

113 AReM, CEERT, PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, and UCS made suggestions for STCs.

114 PG&E suggests in its comments on the RPD that the assurance of registration with WREGIS should apply at the time deliveries commence under the contract, not at the time the contract is signed. This suggestion is unopposed and simplifies contracting; we adopt it in this decision.

115 This Commission does not approve RPS contracts of multi-jurisdictional utilities. See § 4.7.1, above.

116 See D.08-04-009, Appendix A at 7 (STC 17: Applicable Law).

117 If and when the Commission changes or augments the RPS procurement approval process, appropriate changes can be made in the STCs.

118 Contracts that have not yet been approved should be amended to include the STCs adopted in this decision. Pending advice letters should be amended to show that the contracts contain the required STCs. (See D.07-11-025.)

119 This date is used because 2008 is the first year that WREGIS issued certificates; it is also the first year data from WREGIS is reported to the CEC to verify RPS procurement. (RPS Eligibility Guidebook at 46.)

120 Section 365.1 was added by SB 695 (Kehoe), Stats. 2009, ch. 337. Section 365.1(c)(1) provides that:

Once the commission has authorized additional direct transactions pursuant to subdivision (b), it shall do ... the following:

(1) Ensure that other providers are subject to the same requirements that are applicable to the state's three largest electrical corporations under any programs or rules adopted by the commission to implement the resource adequacy provisions of Section 380, the renewables portfolio standard provisions of Article 16 (commencing with Section 399.11), and the requirements for the electricity sector adopted by the State Air Resources Board pursuant to the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Division 25.5 (commencing with Section 38500) of the Health and Safety Code). This requirement applies notwithstanding any prior decision of the commission to the contrary. . . .

121 These commenters include PG&E, TransAlta, AReM and Aglet.

122 Three issues were transferred to R.08-08-009 in April 2009.

123 Motions for party status were filed on January 15, 2010 by LS Power Associates, L.P. and by Sempra Generation. Motions were filed on January 19, 2010 by TransAlta Corporation; Lakeview; and California Wastewater Climate Change Group. Bloom Energy Corporation filed its motion on January 20, 2010 and BPA filed its motion on January 21, 2010. BPA's motion was granted by the ALJ's Ruling Granting Motion for Party Status (January 27, 2010); the other motions were granted by the ALJ's Ruling Granting Motions for Party Status (January 22, 2010).

124 AReM, CalWEA, CEERT, Iberdrola, IEP, LSA, Lakeview, LS Power, NaturEner, Sempra, SDG&E, and UCS are in this group.

125 CalWEA, Iberdrola, and IEP advance this view. LSA and UCS support it. Sempra Generation provides useful information to support this clarification.

126 Aglet, TURN, and UCS.

127 Iberdrola, Lakeview, NaturEner, Pilot Power, SCE, and SDG&E raise this issue. DRA argues that the RPD is not in conflict with the Commerce Clause.

128 This clause provides that:

129 See § 4.5, above, for a detailed discussion of these adjustments.

130 CAISO Dynamic Transfer Issue Paper at 16.

131 This is different from the minimum quota framework set forth in D.07-05-028, which requires that the total deliveries expected from the long-term contracts and contracts with new facilities are greater than 0.25% of prior year's retail sales before short-term contracts can be signed.

132 "A Retirement Subaccount is used as a repository for WREGIS Certificates that the Account Holder wants to designate as Retired and remove from circulation (e.g., to demonstrate compliance with a state's RPS). Once a Certificate has been transferred into a WREGIS Retirement Subaccount, it cannot be transferred again to any other Account." (WREGIS Operating Rules, p. 6.)

133 The LSEs should create a banking Active sub-account within WREGIS to `hold' RECs until they are retired for compliance purposes.

134 Earmarking is a flexible compliance tool that LSEs can conditionally use to defer deficits. See D.06-10-050, Attachment A, pages 9-10.

135 A bundled RPS contract is a power purchase agreement that conveys all energy, capacity and environmental attributes to a load-serving entity.

136 Load-serving entities (LSEs) include: investor-owned utilities (IOUs), energy service providers (ESPs), and community choice aggregators (CCAs).
