Add to CalendarThe California Energy Commission (CEC) staff will conduct a public workshop to seek comments from interested parties regarding the addition of the definition of “appurtenant facility” and proposed amendments to the CEC’s definition of “related facility” as contained in the California Code of Regulations (CCR), title 20, section 1201(q) These definitions concern the CEC’s powerplant certification program.
The purpose of this workshop is to discuss proposed amendments to clarify definitions that have become outdated and that do not fully reflect changes in powerplant design and technology, changes in the Public Resources Code, and changes in the way the state’s electricity generation and transmission systems work and are constructed. Proposed regulatory amendment language is provided at the end of this notice.
Adding the definition of “appurtenant facility” and amending the definition of “related facility” will provide clarity regarding the scope of the CEC’s certification for both applicants who seek a certification for a powerplant project or seek to amend an existing powerplant certification by adding new equipment or components to the powerplant.
The CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time posted and the end time is an estimate based on the proposed agenda. The workshop may end sooner or later than the posted end time.
