Procedural Schedule

The Commission will allocate and award one year's worth of program funding annually beginning for year 2002 and continuing through at least 2011 (when the legislative authorization for the electric PGC sunsets). Unlike previous practice, however, each program may be authorized to run for up to two years instead of only one. Therefore, to avoid confusion about calendar years vs. funding years, the programs years will be referred to as Year 1, Year 2, etc. of continued PGC funding authorized by AB995 of September 2000. The table below clarifies this naming convention. This schedule assumes that programs start in January.
