Time of Use (TOU) Rate Requirements Update Ø Starting in January 2007, CSI customers are required to take electric service under applicable TOU tariffs Ø The CPUC is expected to issue a decision on June 7 th that would allow customers a choice between TOU and non-TOU rates until more solar-friendly TOU rates are developed Ø Customers who were required to take service under a TOU tariff will be allowed to switch to a non-TOU tariff and will receive a credit for any difference in charges Ø The Legislature is working on emergency clean-up legislation that will postpone the mandatory TOU requirement until more solar-friendly rates are developed Self-Generation Incentive Program 78

Ø Customers should decide early in the process who will provide meter, MDMA & PMRS services to avoid delays, minimize cost and ensure compatibility. Self-Generation Incentive Program 11 13

Meter Requirements Update Ø Petition to Modify submitted on March 5 th (PG&E, SDREO, Cal. SEIA, PV Now, Vote Solar Initiative, SMA America) Ø If approved, Petition would modify CSI as follows: • All EPBB customers allowed to use inverter meters. • Remove cost cap for all PBI customers & confirm 2% meter requirement for all PBI, regardless of size. • Remove requirement for PMRS providers to be independent of solar vendors & installers.
