Summary

Existing law requires every electric utility, defined to include an electrical corporation, local publicly owned electric utility, or an electrical cooperative, to develop a standard contract or tariff providing for net energy metering, as defined, and to make this contract or tariff available to eligible customer-generators upon request for generation by a renewable electrical generation facility. An electric utility, upon request, is required to make available to eligible customer-generators contracts or tariffs for net energy metering, on a first-come-first-served basis until the time that the total rated generating capacity used by eligible customer-generators exceeds 5% of the electric utility's aggregate customer peak demand. Existing law provides that an electric utility that is not a large electrical corporation is not obligated to provide net energy metering to customers in its service area once the above level is reached. The bill would require the Imperial Irrigation District to provide net metering service to eligible customer-generators that meet certain requirements, as specified. Because this bill would increase the level of service provided by a local publicly owned utility, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Imperial Irrigation District. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
