The commission may alter the percentage after the latter date. Sales and solar generation figures will be provided to the commission for monitoring purposes. There is, however, provision for penalties for failure to meet the requirements of this order. If an electricity provider fails to meet these requirements, it could be fined up to 30 cents per kilowatt hour for deficiencies. If deficiencies persist, the provider could lose certification.
Utilities are to file proposals for commission review.
The commission is careful to note that the order is a proposal. Utilities, public interest groups and citizens will have opportunity to provide the commission with their views before a final ruling is issued either in late December or at some later date.
