workplace charging stations, public charging stations operated by non-utility service providers, and commercial fleets – ARB allows entities other than the utility to opt-in as the regulated party. If another entity does not opt-in as the regulated party, the electric utility may do so. Thus, for each utility’s LCFS Implementation Plan, that utility should identify whether or not it will serve as the regulated party for specific nonresidential sites, workplace charging sites and commercial fleets that do not optin as a regulated party. The utility should also specify how it would accept (e.g. contractual assignment) and disburse credit revenue in these instances. In addition, the utility should identify whether and to what party the utility will provide LCFS revenue in situations where a residential or non-residential customer leases a PEV rather than owns it outright. Other Allocation Issues In addition to providing a general description of how the utilities will calculate, market and disburse revenues from the sale of LCFS credits, and answering the questions listed above, each utility’s LCFS Implementation Plan should address other implementation issues the utility might anticipate. LCFS Credit Revenue Distribution for Natural Gas Utilities This Decision approves two methodologies by which natural gas utilities may distribute LCFS revenue – a price discount at the point of sale of CNG fuel at IOU public-access stations; and on-bill credits for utility customers. Gas utilities are allowed to choose either or both of these methodologies.
