California Renewable Energy Associations Comment on CPUC Customer Choice 'Green Book'

Today, CalWEA, together with most of California’s utility-scale renewable energy industry associations, issued joint comments in response to the California Public Utilities Commission’s draft Customer Choice “Green Book.” Among other things, the comments ask the CPUC to assess the risk that some load-serving entities will not be able to shoulder their share of the state’s renewable energy and greenhouse-gas-reduction targets in the near-term. They called on the Commission to develop a backstop plan to ensure that the state’s goals will be achieved, with a trigger point in the near term.
