utilities, is- a requirement to collect a separate charge. Publicly owned utilities a*re.allewed to spend the ,
money collected in any of four categories cited in Public Utilities Code Section 385, which states that
"Each local publicly owned electric utility shall establish a noubypassable, usage based charge on local
distribution service of not less than the lowest expenditure level of the three largest electrical corporations
in California on a percent -of-revenue basis calculated from each utility's total revenue requirement for the
year ended December 31, 1994, and each utility's total annual expenditure under paragraphs (1), (2), and (3)
of subdivision (c) of Section 381 and Section 382, to fund investments by the utility and other parties in any
or all of the following:
(1) Cost-effective demand-side management services to promote energy efficiency and
energy conservation.
(2) ..,,., Ncw investment in renewable energy resources and-%chnologies consistent with
existiiig statutes and regulations which promote those resouices and technologies. • `
(3) Research, development and demonstration programs for the public interest to advance science
or technology which is not adequately provided by competitive and regulated markets.
(4) Services provided for low-income electricity customers, including but not limited to,
energy efficiency service and rate discounts.
B. CALIFORNIA PUBLIC BENEFIT FEE
The lowest percentage of the three investor-owned utilities is the minimum charge to be collected by
publicly owned utilities. Based on the formula and numbers supplied by the California Energy
Commission, there is a statewide public utility consensus that the appropriate number for publicly
owned utilities is 2.85% for total revenue requirement collected in 1998 through 2000, and 2.7% in
2001. (AB 1890 allows lower expenditures for an investor-owned utility in 2001.) Publicly owned
utilities should initiate collection of the Public Benefit Fee coincident with the start date imposed on
investor-owned utilities, which is January 1, 1998.
