On 5/26/17, the ALJ issued a proposed decision implementing new compliance requirements for

the RPS program in response to SB350. These new rules for long-term contracts start with the compliance period beginning 1/1/21. The changes affect the role of long-term contracts in RPS procurement requirements and the methodology for determining how excess procurement in one compliance period may be applied to later compliance periods. Various parties filed comments on 6/20/17. The decision was approved by the Commission at the 6/29/17 meeting.
