Reply Comments on CPUC 19-09-009 Track 1 Microgird and Resiliency Strategies Staff Proposal

On February 6, the CHBC submitted reply comments to the CPUC regarding the R.19-09-009 proceeding on the Track 1 Microgrid and Resiliency Strategies Staff Proposal. The CHBC reply comments focused on four areas:
  1. Several parties representing multiple sectors, in addition to CHBC, specifically advocated in their comments for hydrogen and fuel cells to be included in state microgrid programs, and none expressed opposition.
  2. We agree with parties who support revisiting size limits for microgrid technologies.
  3. We share the opinion of several parties who advocate for a standardized microgrid tariff that facilitates pairing of complementary distributed generation technologies.
  4. Several parties agree with our recommendation to impose Health Risk Assessments on temporary generation technologies.
