Anaheim Public Utilities Compliance
It is the
Utilities goal to minimize the costs necessary to comply with the program requirements by employing a variety of measures that include, but are not limited to, managing how we generate electricity and how we acquire allowances. At this time, the program is not expected to result in any additional costs to customers; however, it does have the potential to add additional costs of up to $5 to $10 million annually, based in part, upon the future costs and the availability of allowances in the market.
The status of the
Utilities compliance with the program requirements is provided to the City Council on a regular basis. Additionally, this program is only one of many regulations that are impacting the Utilities as a result of AB 32. Other regulations include the
Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), which requires all California electric utilities to meet 60% of their customer needs with renewable energy resources, as well as energy efficiency and conservation requirements.
