PUC § 384.5 Effective Jan 1, 2014Div. 1 · Part 1 · Ch. 2.3 · Art. 7

Statute text

(a)On or before March 1, 2014, the commission shall order electrical corporations to submit, on or before July 1, 2015, a tariff to be used, at the discretion of local governments, to fund energy efficiency improvements in street light poles owned by the electrical corporations to ensure reduced energy consumption for local governments who are streetlight customers covered by these tariffs.

(b)The tariff shall be designed to allow local governments to remit the cost of the improvement through the tariff over time, resulting in reduced energy consumption, without shifting costs to nonparticipating ratepayers. The cost of the improvement shall be identified separately rather than included within the charge for electrical service.

(c)Notwithstanding subdivision (b), the improvement performed pursuant to the tariff submitted under subdivision (a) shall be eligible for any rebate or incentives available through ratepayer-funded programs intended to increase energy efficiency.
