TOU PV [RE-wrenches]

On Jun 10, I heard from LADWP employees that California utilities are
re-writing the rates so that customers with Time of Use net metered PV
systems will not get full value for their peak electric production.


  This sounds like a rumor Joel. TOU metering became available to PV
intertie customers because of a law passed by the State legislature. It
clearly states that any utility billing scheme that's available to a
customer *without* an intertie system, has to also be available *with*
an intertie system. It took the utilities about 4 months after it became
law to scramble up a bi-directional TOU meter. In order to change the
deal for PV customers, they'd have to change the deal for everybody.

 I've got a hard copy printout of the law at my office (I'm at home
now). Want a copy? Email me your fax # at: <doug at realgoods.com>

Cheers,
Doug Pratt
