Attention Master-Metered Electric Systems in PG&E Territory-PG&E Rate Case Decision Significantly Reduces the Discount on Electric Rates

California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decision (R.11-02-018) regarding master-metered utility systems. 

WMA has been involved in this proceeding from the beginning and has been working with the CPUC to develop a process to allow for the voluntary relinquishment of your utility systems to the serving utility.  GSMOL has also been involved in the proceeding since the initial workshop and a party to the proceeding. This notice to residents of the rulemaking proceeding is a beginning step to keep the proceeding moving along.  WMA's utility advisors have drafted the following letter which you may attach to the resident notice from the serving utility to help your residents better understand the rulemaking process. The Rulemaking is in its very beginning phase and this notice is the first step in this CPUC proceeding which will probably take a year or two to reach conclusion.

See Rulemaking Order.
