As part of the six-year effort in California to develop tariffs that would help commercialize community microgrids, nonutility stakeholders have submitted proposed tariffs to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), but they say that the effort may not meet its intended goals.

The proposed tariffs would apply to multiproperty microgrids, also called community microgrids, which serve a number of customers on more than one property.

When the California Legislature passed SB 1339 in 2018, the goal was to create a microgrid tariff that would help commercialize microgrids, allowing for third-party microgrid development and ensuring microgrids’ potential benefits would serve those who receive microgrid power, the grid and ratepayers.

But nonutility stakeholders say they haven’t seen movement toward that goal during the proceeding (Rulemaking 19-09-009).

Microgrids as common workaday beasts
