Sheet: Instructions

 | INTRODUCTION
 | This document presents the annual requirements for reporting electricity purchases and sales (or brokered transactions) to the Energy Commission's Power Source Disclosure Program and Renewable Energy Program, [NAME].  Under the regulations, program participants of the Power Source Disclosure Program must file this report with the Energy Commission if they made claims of specific purchases for the previous calendar year and/or if they are a Power Pool that facilitated [NAME] claims (nomenclature of the Power Source Disclosure Program).  Registered Renewable Providers and Registered Renewable Wholesalers (nomenclature of the Customer Credit Program) that were active in the Customer Credit Subaccount for the given calendar year must also complete the Annual Report.
 | The Annual Report is comprised of eight worksheets.  Each worksheet, with the exception of the "Attestation," is identified by a schedule number and a title that describes the information needed for that sheet. The program participants are only required to submit those schedules that are relevant to them as identified below.
 | The following schedules are required for Retail Providers that made claims of specific purchases (as defined in the Power Source Disclosure Program) and/or Registered Renewable Providers that received funds through the Customer Credit Subaccount for the given year.

 | SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
 | Instructions for completing each schedule are provided below.  Instructions are first given for schedules applicable to Retail Providers and/or Registered Renewable Providers, followed by instructions for completing schedules applicable to Power Pools and Registered Renewable Wholesalers.
 | SCHEDULES TO BE COMPLETED BY:
 | RETAIL PROVIDERS / REGISTERED RENEWABLE PROVIDERS
 | Schedule 1:  Power Purchases and Resales
 | This worksheet is provided for entering information about all power purchases that were used to support all electricity products covered in this filing.
 | Specific Purchases:  The first table on Schedule 1 is for entering detailed information about specific purchases (for all products in aggregate), including the facility name, fuel type, identification number(s) of the generating facility, the certificate number and the number of gross megawatt-hours purchased.  If the power was purchased from a renewable power pool, it is sufficient to indicate the name of the pool in lieu of the generating facility name so long as the pool is also filing an Annual Report with the Energy Commission.  The "Power Resold" column is provided for recording power that was resold at wholesale or self-consumed (and therefore not able to be claimed by your company).  Note that the column on the far right is provided for indicating purchases for which the customer credit was received.
 | Generic Purchases:  A separate table at the bottom of this page is provided for information about total “generic” purchases, which for purposes of the Annual Report to the Energy Commission refers to any purchase other than a specific purchase (e.g., power purchased from the Power Exchange such that the generating facility cannot be identified).  Power purchased from a wind facility but resold at wholesale as "generic" power would show up in these tables as a wind purchase and a generic resale.  Note that given this convention, it is possible for "net generic kWh purchased" to be a negative number.
 | Schedule 2A:  Retail Sales
 | This schedule is for entering information about how the power purchases recorded on Schedule 1 were allocated between your company's products and sold at retail.  For example, if your company purchased 100 kWh of solar power, 60 kWh might have been sold as part of Product A and 40 kWh might have been sold as part of [NAME]
 | Schedule 2B:  Balancing Sheet
 | This schedule is for balancing supply and load.  You are asked to sum net purchases recorded on Schedule 1, by fuel type, and enter them in the first column.  The rest of the spreadsheet will automatically check to make sure that purchases match sales.  Net purchases by fuel type should be equal to or greater than retail sales, or nearly so (accounting for losses).  If the amounts differ, you are asked to provide a brief explanation either at the bottom of the worksheet or in an attachment to your filing.
 | [NAME]Power Content Label Calculator
 | This schedule is an automated worksheet that uses the information from [NAME] to calculate the power "content," or fuel mix, for each product recorded.  This worksheet can be used as a check against the fuel mix that your company intends to use on your annual power content label (due to consumers by April 15, 2001).
 | Schedule 2D: Summary of Retail Sales by Customer Class
 | This schedule only needs to be completed by Registered Renewable Providers active in the Customer Credit Subaccount for the given year.
 | Enter information about sales to customers who received the customer credit during the given year. The data should be given per registered renewable product and aggregated by customer class. Registered Renewable Providers are required to aggregate data for all eligible products on their Monthly Performance Reports (MPRs), but for this form, please show product specific data.
 | Number of Eligible kWh Sold to Eligible Customers: For each applicable product, show the number of eligible kWh sold per customer class for the entire year. As a check, the total shown for all products in Schedule 2D should agree with the aggregate total reported in all MPRs submitted to the Commission for the given year, after accounting for any amended MPRs (agree with [NAME] for residential, 6a for small commercial, and 7a for other customers).
 | Number of Customers at Close of Year: Show the total number of customers per applicable product as of the close of the year. These data should agree with Boxes 5b, 6b, and 7b of the December MPR (or the last month in the given year that the Registered Renewable Provider participated in the Customer Credit Subaccount), after accounting for any amended MPRs.
 | Number of Customer Credits Passed on to Eligible Customers: For each applicable product, show the amount of customer credits passed on to eligible customers per customer class. As a check, the total shown for all products in Schedule 2D should agree with the agregated total reported in all MPRs submitted to the Commission for the given year, after accounting for any amended MPRs (agree with [NAME] for residential, 6c for small commercial, and 7c for other customers).
 | If the data in Schedule 2D do not agree with data reported to the Commission in MPRs, attach a written explanation for the difference.
 | Schedule 2E: Retail Sales to Customers Subject to $1,000 Funding Cap                                                                                                                                     This schedule only needs to be completed by Registered Renewable Providers active in the Customer Credit Subaccount for the given year.
 | If you did not have sales to this classification of customers, check the appropriate box at the top of the form. If you had sales to non-residential and non-small commercial customers who received the customer credit during the given year, enter data for each customer who received the credit. The Energy Commission will use these data to test if a customer received more than $1,000 in customer credits in the year, perhaps by purchasing electricity from more than one Registered Renewable Provider in a given year.
 | Customer ID number: Enter the unique Utility Distribution Number of each customer.
 | Rate Schedule: Enter the rate schedule of each customer.
 | CEC Reg #: Enter the CEC-registration number of the product that was sold to the customer.
 | Eligible kWh Sold to Eligible Customers: Enter the quantity of eligible renewable electricity sold to each customer per month. The aggregate total for all customers per month should agree  with the information submitted on Box 7a of your MPRs. If the totals do not agree, attach a written explanation for the difference.
 | As a check, the total kWh sold per month to all customers reported on this form should agree with the number of kWh reported in Box 7a of each MPR submitted to the Commission, after accounting for any amended MPRs. If the data in this schedule do not agree with that reported to the Commission in MPRs, attach a written explanation for the difference.
 | Attestation Form                                                                                                                                                                                                            This form provides the attestation that must be submitted with the Annual Report to the Energy Commission, stating that the information contained in the applicable schedules is correct and that the power has been sold “once and only once to retail consumers.”  For the electronic copy of this filing, simply fill out the information (insert your cursor over the blanks) but leave the signature block blank.  Once printed out, this form must be signed by hand and included in the package that is mailed to the Energy Commission.
 | SCHEDULES TO BE COMPLETED BY:  POWER POOLS/REGISTERED RENEWABLE WHOLESALERS
 | Schedule 3:  Power Sold Into Pool
 | This worksheet is provided for entering information about all power sold into the power pool.
 | Specific Purchases:  The first table on [NAME] is for entering detailed information about all power sold into the pool, including the name, fuel type, and identification number(s) of the generating facility, or CEC certificate numbers and total kilowatt-hours sold.
 | Generic Purchases:  A separate table at the bottom of this page is provided for information about “generic” power sold into the pool, which for purposes of the Annual Report to the Energy Commission refers to any purchase other than a specific purchase (e.g., power purchased from the Power Exchange such that the generating facility cannot be identified).
 | Schedule 4:  Power Purchased from Pool
 | This schedule is for entering details about purchases out of the pool, including the name of the purchaser and the kilowatt-hours of power purchased by fuel type.
 | Attestation Form                                                                                                                                                    This form provides the attestation that must be submitted with the Annual Report to the Energy Commission, stating that the information contained in the applicable schedules is correct and that the power has been sold “once and only once to retail consumers.”  For the electronic copy of this filing, simply fill out the information (insert your cursor over the blanks) but leave the signature block blank.  Once printed out, this form must be signed by hand and included in the package that is mailed to the Energy Commission.
