California cogeneration and small-power-production pricing study
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6347326
The California Public Utilities Commission conducted a study to assist public utilities commisions nationwide in implementing policy for cogeneration and small power production technologies. The effort consisted of studies and hearings related to avoided-cost based pricing, identification and removal of regulatory barriers, and workshops to assist potential cogenerators. The primary focus of this study is cogeneration, however, the analysis of pricing guidelines also address as the applicability for small power production facilities as well as their unique characteristics. The study is divided into four segments, or tasks each of which focuses on separate areas for review and/or analysis. This report represents Task I, and consists of a case history documentation of authorized prices and contract terms for cogenerators and small power producers in California resulting from Commission action in 1979. Subjected covered are: marginal-cost offers versus shared benefits (theory); marginal energy and capacity costs; requirements for capacity payments; simultaneous purchase and sale; new qualifying facilities versus old qualifying facilities; rates for standby service, maintenance, and interruptible power; wheeling; auxiliary power sources; utility ownership and joint benefits; rate of return reward/penalties; and interconnection costs.
