§ 1623. Load Management Tariff Standard.
(1) Total marginal cost shall be calculated as the sum of the marginal energy cost, the marginal capacity cost (generation, transmission, and distribution), and any other appropriate time and location dependent marginal costs, including the locational marginal cost of associated greenhouse gas emissions, on a time interval of no more than one hour. Energy cost computations shall reflect locational marginal cost pricing as determined by the associated balancing authority, such as the California Independent System Operator, the Balancing Authority of Northern California, or other balancing authority. Marginal capacity cost computations shall reflect the variations in the probability and value of system reliability of each component (generation, transmission, and distribution).
(b) Publication of Machine-Readable Electricity Rates. No later than three (3) months after April 1, 2023, each Large IOU shall upload its existing time-dependent rates applicable to its customers to the Commission's Market Informed Demand Automation Server (MIDAS) database. Each Large IOU shall upload all time-dependent rates, including those approved after April 1, 2023, to MIDAS prior to the effective date of the time-dependent rates each time a time-dependent rate is approved by the rate-approving body and each time a time-dependent rate changes.
The time-dependent rates uploaded to the MIDAS database shall include all applicable time-dependent cost components, including, but not limited to, generation, distribution, and transmission. The Commission maintains public access to the MIDAS-database through an Application Programming Interface (API) that, provided a Rate Identification Number (RIN), returns information sufficient to enable automated response to marginal grid signals including price, emergency events, and greenhouse gas emissions.
(1) No later than eighteen (18) months after April 1, 2023, each Large IOU shall submit to the Executive Director a list of load flexibility programs deemed cost-effective by the Large IOU. The portfolio of identified programs shall provide any customer with at least one option for automating response to MIDAS signals indicating marginal cost-based rates, marginal prices, hourly or sub-hourly marginal greenhouse gas emissions, or other Commission-approved marginal signal(s) that enable automated end-use response.
(2) Within forty-five (45) months of April 1, 2023, each Large IOU shall offer to each of its electricity customers voluntary participation in a marginal cost-based rate developed according to Section 1623(a) if such rate is approved by the Large IOU's rate-approving body, or a cost-effective program identified according to Section 1623(d)(1) if such rate is not yet approved by the Large IOU's rate-approving body.
