Today at the CPUC: PG and E Enhances Net Billing Programs for Solar and Storage Systems

Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 10, 2024

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG and E) has taken a significant step forward in enhancing its solar and storage system policies by submitting the Third Substitute Sheets for Advice Letter 7149-E to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This latest submission is aimed at refining the interconnection forms for its Virtual Net Billing Tariff (NBTV) and Net Billing Aggregation (NBTA) Subtariff Programs.

PG and E's modifications focus on updating critical forms that are essential for customers participating in net billing programs, specifically forms 79-1174-02J and 79-1220-03. These changes include clarifications to language that ensures clearer, more accessible interactions for customers and corrects previous regulatory citation errors, enhancing the overall compliance and efficiency of the interconnection process.

The revisions made in this latest advice letter reflect PG and E's response to stakeholder feedback and its commitment to compliance with CPUC Decision 23-11-068. These adjustments are part of PG and E's ongoing efforts to streamline processes and support California's goals for increased use of renewable energy sources within the state.

Impact on Solar and Energy Storage Customers

These updates are expected to benefit a broad range of customers, simplifying the application process for new solar installations and battery storage systems under the NBTV and NBTA programs. By making these processes more transparent and straightforward, PG and E aims to encourage more homeowners and businesses to adopt renewable energy solutions, contributing to a greener energy grid.

As PG and E continues to refine its net billing and interconnection processes, the industry and its customers will likely see further enhancements that support the integration of renewable energy technologies. This proactive approach by PG and E not only aligns with California's environmental targets but also improves customer satisfaction and utility interaction.

Today at the CPUC is dedicated to bringing you the latest updates and analytical insights into the activities and decisions of the California Public Utilities Commission. Our aim is to inform and engage with those interested in the developments within California's energy sector, particularly in the areas of renewable energy and regulatory compliance.
