2811.  In order to promote the more efficient use and distribution of natural gas or electric energy and eliminate the necessity for construction of transmission facilities for gas or electricity produced by a private energy producer separate from those which may already exist to serve the same area and are owned and operated by a public utility subject to the jurisdiction and control of the Public Utilities Commission, the commission shall authorize the construction of an interconnection by a private energy producer upon application of such producer if the commission makes the findings required by Sections 2812 and 2812.5. The commission shall render its decision on any application filed pursuant to this chapter within 180 days of receipt of the application or at such later time as may be mutually agreed upon by the commission, the applicant, and the interconnecting public utility.(Amended by Stats. 1980, Ch. 987, Sec. 2.)

2812.  Upon application of a private energy producer, and after notice to any affected public utility and hearing thereon, the commission shall authorize such producer to construct an interconnection for the purpose of transporting natural gas, if the commission finds: (1) that such interconnection is in the public interest and for the general public benefit, (2) involves natural gas located within this state in the service area of the public utility, ultimately consumed within this state, and which would otherwise be undeveloped because a public utility is unable or unwilling to purchase it at a price the commission finds to be reasonable, (3) would not cause energy which would likely otherwise be made available to the general public to be diverted to the private energy producer, and (4) that the energy has substantially the equivalent quality and characteristics as the energy in the utility’s transmission system with which the interconnection would be made. The commission shall prescribe such reasonable terms, conditions, and requirements as it deems appropriate.(Added by Stats. 1976, Ch. 915.)
CA Pub Util Code § 2812.5 (2021)

2813.  The private energy producer shall be required to provide and to pay the total cost of the interconnection as well as any costs associated with providing a transmission capacity sufficient to handle that portion of the energy generated by the private energy producer that is over and above the capacity otherwise required by the public utility to service its utility customers and meet other authorized commitments. The public utility shall not be required to construct any additional electric or gas facilities on its system or to acquire any real property by eminent domain or otherwise for such facilities, in order to perform the service contemplated by this chapter unless the cost of such additional facilities or acquisitions are to be borne by the private energy producer.(Added by Stats. 1976, Ch. 915.)

CA Pub Util Code § 2821.5 (2021)
2021 California Code|Public Utilities Code - PUC|DIVISION 1 - REGULATION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES|PART 2 - SPECIFIC PUBLIC UTILITIES|CHAPTER 7 - Private Energy Producers|ARTICLE 3 - Rights, Obligations, and Charges|Section 2821.5.

2821.5.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) Small power producers provide important alternative sources of electrical energy.(b) The commission is required to approve and establish equitable charges to be paid by electrical corporations which purchase electricity or electrical generating capacity, or both, from qualifying small power producers.(c) The commission recognized the importance of developing standard offer contracts based on long-run avoided costs in order to encourage the development of qualifying small power producers. On September 7, 1983, in Decision 83-09-054, the commission approved interim standard offer No. 4, which established a long-term power purchase contract.(d) Many pioneer small power producers operating prior to September 7, 1983, did so under power purchase contracts based on short-term energy prices and long-term capacity prices. When interim standard offer No. 4 was approved, the commission allowed its provisions to be offered to qualified facility projects which had not yet obtained construction financing or otherwise entered a contract and started construction. Pioneer small power producers with existing contracts were not allowed to switch to the new interim standard offer No. 4 until their existing contracts were no longer in effect.(e) On April 17, 1985, pursuant to Decision 85-04-075, the commission suspended all payment options offered under interim standard offer No. 4 due to the contrasting of excessive energy capacity, and the conclusion that prices were too high.(f) Many qualifying small power producers who were operating under contracts made prior to September 7, 1983, were thus precluded by the commission from adopting interim standard offer No. 4, and may be required to accept new prices and terms which provide less compensation than the suspended interim standard offer No. 4.(g) These financially stressed qualifying small power producers assert they were unfairly denied the opportunity to adopt interim standard offer No. 4 by the commission. They also assert that much of the capacity contracted for under the suspended interim standard offer No. 4 will never be constructed. They further allege that they are being forced to close small powerplants which are currently in operation while producers with interim standard offer No. 4 contracts are constructing new plants.(Added by Stats. 1986, Ch. 619, Sec. 1.)

2824.  (a) The commission shall conduct a review of the charges paid by electrical corporations for electricity generated from other than conventional power sources and furnished to such corporations. Following such review, the commission shall consider adjustments in such charges to encourage the generation of electricity from other than conventional power sources.(b) The commission shall conduct a review of standby charges charged by electrical corporations. Following such review, the commission shall consider adjustments in such charges to encourage the utilization of electricity generated from other than conventional power sources and to enable electrical corporations to review the costs of providing standby service.(c) The commission shall conduct a review of charges for transmission service made by electrical corporations for the transmission of electricity generated from other than conventional power sources. Following such review, the commission shall consider adjustments in such charges to encourage the generation of electricity from other than conventional power sources.(Added by Stats. 1980, Ch. 373, Sec. 3.)
CA Pub Util Code § 2826 (2021)
2021 California Code|Public Utilities Code - PUC|DIVISION 1 - REGULATION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES|PART 2 - SPECIFIC PUBLIC UTILITIES|CHAPTER 7 - Private Energy Producers|ARTICLE 3 - Rights, Obligations, and Charges|Section 2826.

2826.  (a) The commission shall establish requirements for the administration of power purchase contracts between electrical corporations and private energy producers. For any project which has not received all regulatory permits at the time of the commission’s review of a proposed project deferral agreement, the commission shall, at a minimum, apply both of the following requirements:(1) Prohibit payments by an electrical corporation to a private energy producer to defer the construction of a private energy project unless the private energy producer agrees to repay all deferral payments charged to ratepayers in the event the project is not constructed and operating by the time the deferral period expires.(2) Require the private energy producer to provide adequate security to ensure repayment of those ratepayer charges.(b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to a power purchase contract between an electrical corporation and a private energy producer which is a major customer of the electrical corporation, if the contract is negotiated pursuant to procedures prescribed by the commission and for the purpose of retaining that customer.(Added by Stats. 1989, Ch. 666, Sec. 1.)
