ALJ Hymes has added another NEM workshop and adjusted the NEM procedural schedule to allow for more complete cost analysis of the submitted NEM 3.0 proposals.
Following the March 23-24 workshops and after further review of the party proposals filed on March 15 it is clear the proposals are not complete to allow for a cost-effectiveness analysis and additional information is needed.
Accordingly, a virtual workshop hosted by the Energy Division will be held on April 22 to further discuss the proposals and determine what inputs are needed to accurately perform the analysis.
Not all proposals necessitate a cost-effectiveness analysis due to the nature of the proposal. For example, some proposals only recommend policy changes but do not provide a complete proposal. ALJ Hymes stresses that while a cost-effectiveness analysis is not being performed on some proposals, the contents of the proposals remain in the record of the proceeding for consideration by the Commission.
