ALJ Ruling Modifies RPS Program Schedule to Accommodate VAMO

The ruling modifies the procedural schedule for the RPS program to enable timely filing and resolution of matters related to Voluntary Allocation ("VA") and Market Offer ("MO") matters, 2022 RPS Procurement Plans, and VA of RPS attributes adopted under the Modified Cost Allocation Mechanism in R. 20-05-003.

Although most dates remain unchanged, major changes in the ruling include:
  1. IOUs Provide VA Offers; IOUs will inform LSEs of VA shares – Status: IOUs have provided VA shares; Revisions shall be made if required by MCAM decision. Due May 31, 2022.
  2. Opening/ Reply Comments on MO Process – Due June 6, 2022/June 13, 2022. (Note: Pending CalCCA Request for Extension of Time for Comments).
  3. Draft 2022 RPS Plans Filings – LSEs may provide information on their Voluntary Allocations in their RPS Plans due on July 1, 2022, to the extent they have Voluntary Allocation information. We find it reasonable for LSEs that may not have up-to-date information in their Draft 2022 RPS Procurement Plan to include the Voluntary Allocation information in the RPS Plan Motion to Update due on August 15, 2022.
  4. IOU Report Status of RFI Negotiations – Formally June 2022, Now July 1, 2022.
  5. LSEs complete process of determining interest in VA elections and sign VA contracts – Formally May 2022, Now July 29, 2022.
  6. LSEs Final 2022 RPS Plan Filings – Formally January 2023, Now Q1 2023.
  7. IOUs Commence VA and MO Deliveries – Formally 21 days after the Final 2022 RPS Plans filed, Now Q1 2023.
