Edison Fees [RE-wrenches]

Bill,

It was because of the problems with the net metering law that I am still 
opposed to utility grade production meters.  SMA and other output 
monitors allow customers to monitor system performance but a requirement 
for utility grade meters adjacent to existing service meters opens the 
door for utility “exit fees” and such a requirement would be in direct 
conflict with Public Utilities Code 2827 (b) (3), which allows for a 
single meter only.

Problems that could be fixed are: 

1. Paragraphs k and l - specifying that net metered customers are 
subject to public benefit and DWR bonds costs - looks like could be 
$0.03-0.04/kWh cost per PV kWh generated.
2. We could specify that PV generators are exempt from departing load or 
exit fees.
3. Clarification that PV owners are not responsible to pay for any 
distribution equipment upgrades on the utility side of the meter.  As 
you know, the PUC left PV exposed here.
