Comments on CPUC Track 2 Microgrid and Resiliency Strategies Staff Proposal, Facilitating the Commercialization of Microgrids Pursuant to SB 1339

On August 14, the CHBC submitted its opening comments to the CPUC on the proposal titled “Facilitating the Commercialization of Microgrids Pursuant to Senate Bill 1339.” The CHBC expressed its appreciation that the Commission recognized that hydrogen is one of the fuels to be considered in microgrid planning and that fuel cells are to be considered as a generation resource. The CHBC also recommended the Commission select Proposal 3 Option 2 for a simple standardized tariff for customer-owned, behind-the-meter microgrids.
