H, great study so is this why the TH was in place?
so SMUD is not regulated by Public utilities commission.
Surely couldn’t be a huge impact on us. IMO
In a major plan unveiled Friday, the California Public Utilities Commission’s staff proposed ordering PG&E Corp. and other big utilities to line up significantly more power supplies for the summer.If adopted by the commission at its March 25 meeting, the plan would require the utilities to have reserve supplies on hand amounting to 17.5% of forecast demand for electricity, a margin of error desgned to reduce the likelihood of rolling blackouts again this summer.The current buffer is 15%.This would force the utilities to find extra supplies during the “months of concern,” from May to October. PG&E, for example, would have to find an extra 450 megawatts of capacity, the equivalent of one major power plant.The proposal doesn’t cover utilities such as SMUD in Sacramento that aren’t regulated by the PUC.
