On February 14, 2008, Resolution E-4137 was enacted to approve feed-in tariffs for eligible small renewable generators (<1.5 MW) owned by public water and wastewater facilities. This resolution aims to streamline the interconnection process and allows for a cumulative statewide capacity of up to 250 MW. Additionally, it allocates further capacity, making a total of 478 MW available primarily within PG&E and SCE territories. The feed-in tariffs complement various renewable energy procurement programs and facilitate fixed-price contracts for up to 20 years, ensuring renewable energy development in California.
