California SB886 establishes new tariffs for electric service interconnection and updates existing rules.

California SB886, the California Technology Innovation and Ratepayer Protection Act, mandates the California Public Utilities Commission to establish new tariffs or update existing electric rules for interconnection of customer facilities and provision of retail electric service. The commission must evaluate risks and benefits of tariffs, support load shifting, and ensure no net costs to nonparticipating customers. It also allows refunds for initial interconnection costs and requires early termination fees for participating customers.
