PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 3 OF
MASON COUNTY
NOTICE OF INQUIRY by the COMMIS-
SION of PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 3
OF MASON COUNTY FOR PUBLIC COM-
MENT ON INTERCONNECTION and NET
METERING STANDARDS PROPOSED
FOR CONSIDERATION UNDER THE PUB-
LIC UTILITY REGULATORY POLICIES ACT
and CHAPTER 201, LAWS of 2006.
TO INTERESTED PERSONS
Pursuant to sections 1251 and 1254 of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), amend-
ments to Chapter 80.60 RCW,. Chapter 201,
Laws of 2006 (HB 2352), the Board of Com-
missioners of the Mason County PUD No. 3
(Commission) hereby gives notice that it will
consider establishing standards to govern 1)
the interconnection of third-party generation
facilities to its electric utility delivery system;
and 2) net metering service to electric con-
sumers served by its electric utility delivery
system.
The Commission intends to hold a pub-
lic proceeding to consider whether it is ap-
propriate to adopt, in whole or in part, or not
adopt such interconnection and net-metering
standards. Per this notice, the Commission
invites written comments on the proposal set
forth by the Washington Public Utility Districts
Association and Mason County PUD No. 3.
The proposed standards and background in-
formation can be found at www.masonpud3.
org or can be picked up at the offices of Ma-
son County PUD No. 3, located at 307 West
Cota Street, Shelton, WA or will be mailed
by calling Jay Himlie at (360) 426-8255. The
Commission invites written comments and
proposals to be submitted between April 5,
2007 and April 24, 2007. After the close of
comments, the Commission will have a work-
shop or hearing to consider comments of pro-
posals received.
COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
Comments and proposals in written or
electronic form may be provided to Mason
County PUD No. 3, Attention: Jay Himlie,
P.O. Box 2148, Shelton, WA 98564, or via
email to jayh@mesonpud3.org. Proposals
must address the three PURPA purposes and
the cost-effective long range benefits. Based
on comments and interventions received, the
Commission may establish an official service
list for the proceeding. At a future date, the
Commission will schedule a workshop or
hearing to consider the comments and pro-
posais received.
BACKGROUND
Energy Policy Act of 2005
On August 8, 2005, the President signed
the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005).
Section 1254 of EPAct amends section
111 (d) of the Public Utility Regulatory Poli-
cies Act of 1978 (PURPA) to require utilities
to consider adoption of standards for inter-
connection and whether it is appropriate to
offer, upon request, interconnection service
to any electric consumer that the electric util-
ity serves. The term "interconnecticn service"
means service to an electric consumer under
which an on-site electrical generating facility
on the consumer's premises may be con-
nected to the local distribution facilities. (Sec-
tion 111 (d)(15)). By law, electric utilities must
begin considering interconnectlon standards
by August 8, 2006 and, by August 8, 2007,
make a determination as to whether it is ap-
propriate to adopt standards, in whole or in
part, and offer such interconnection service
or not adopt the standards.
Section 1251 of EPACt amends section
111 (d) of PURPA by adding a new section for
net metering. This section requires each elec-
tric utility to consider whether it is appropriate
to make available, upon request, net meter-
ing service to any electric consumer that the
electric utility services. The term "net meter-
ing service" means service to an electric con-
sumer under which electric energy generated
by that electric consumer from an eligible on-
site generating facility and delivered to the Io-
ca/distribution facilities may be used to offset
electric energy provided by the electric utility
to the electric consumer during the applicable
billing period. (Section f t f(d)(1 f)). By law,
electric utilities must begin considering this
standard by August 8, 2007 and make a final
determination by August 8, 2008 whether to
adopt the standard and offer such net meter-
ing service.
Due to the relationship between net me-
tering standards and interconnection stan-
dards, the Commission has determined to
consider these standards jointly.
Washington State Requlrementa on
Net metering
Washington State law requires all electric
utilities to make net metering of electricity
available to customer-generators, subject to
certain qualifications (RCW 80.60) and limit-
ed to certain renewable and other resources.
During the 2006 session, the Washington
State Legislature amended the state net me-
tering standards by passing HB 2352, Chap-
ter 201, Laws of 2006. This law amended
RCW 80.60, the state's net metering statute
which requires utilities to offer net metering
service for certain facility types and sizes, re-
serving half of a utility's net metering capacity
for renewable resources. Specifically, RCW
80.60 was amended by 1) raising the eligible
facility size from 25 kW to 100 kW; 2) add-
ing to the list of eligible facilities to include
small combined heat and power facilities and
those fueled by bioges from animal waste; 3)
increasing the total capacity of net metered
systems on the distribution system from 0.1%
of the systems 1996 peak to 0.25%, with an
additional increase to 0.5% in 2014; and 4)
allowing a public utility district to specifically
limit interconnection to any distribution feed-
er, cimuit, or network based on safety or reli-
ability (Chapter 201, 2006 laws). While this
comparable standard qualifies as prior state
action under EPAct 2005 and thereby would
not require consideration, this Commission
intends to seek public input on amending its
net metering standards (including relevant
interconnection standards) required pursuant
to RCW 80.60.
PUBLIC UTILITY REGULATORY POLI-
CIES ACT
PURPA is intended to encourage 1) the
conservation of energy supplied by electric
utilities; 2) the optimization of the efficiency
of use of facilities and resoumes by electric
utilities; and 3) equitable rates to electric con-
sumers (Section 101). The Commission will
oonsicfar whether a proposed standard for in-
terconnection and net metering meets these
purposes of PURPA.
Under PURPA, electric utilities with total
annual retail sales of 500 million kilowatt-
hours must consider the new standards
(Section 102(a)). However, electric utilities
can choose whether it is appropriate to adopt
the new standards in whole or in part or not
adopt the standards. In addition, nothing un-
der PURPA prohibits this Commission from
modifying or adopting, or not adopting, a dif-
ferent standard or rule pursuant to State law
(Section 117(b)). Some electric utilities and
States have already taken action with re-
gard to these standards prior to enactment
of EPAct. Should the Commission adopt the
proposed interconnection standards in whole
or in pert, they may repeal and replace cur-
rent standards.

tion 1252 of EPAct amends Section 111(.
of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Add
1978 (PURPA) to require utilities to consid.
a new standard for time-based metering
communications. This section requires eadl
electric utility to consider whether it is aPP
priate to offer each of its customer claSSY,
and provide individual customers, upon oJs"
tomer request, a time-based rate schedule
under which the rate charged by the eled.
utility varies during different time periods an0
reflects the variance, if any, in the utilit
costs of generating and purchasina electricity
at the wholesale level (Section 1"11(d)(t4))'
PURPA, as amended by EPAct descrli
four types of time-based rate sct'edutes tl
may be offered, including i) time-of-use I.
ing; ii) critical peak pricing; iii) real-time P.
ing; iv) credits for consumers with large
who enter into pre-established peak load "
duction agreements (Section 111 (d)(14)(8}).
The time-based rate and communicstt01
standard also includes a provision whe#/
electric utilities provide, upon a consum dl
request, time-based meters capable of
abling the utility and customer to offer 0
receive such rates (Section 111 (d)(14)(G),)'
By law, electric utilities must begin co n,
ering this standard by August 8, 2006 ,.
determine by August 8, 2007 whether il
appropriate to adopt the standard in wll
or in part and offer such time-based me.

ity serves. The term "interconnecticn service"
means service to an electric consumer under
which an on-site electrical generating facility
on the consumer's premises may be con-
nected to the local distribution facilities. (Sec-
tion 111 (d)(15)). By law, electric utilities must
begin considering interconnectlon standards
by August 8, 2006 and, by August 8, 2007,
make a determination as to whether it is ap-
propriate to adopt standards, in whole or in
part, and offer such interconnection service
or not adopt the standards.
Section 1251 of EPACt amends section
111 (d) of PURPA by adding a new section for
net metering. This section requires each elec-
tric utility to consider whether it is appropriate
to make available, upon request, net meter-
ing service to any electric consumer that the
electric utility services. The term "net meter-
ing service" means service to an electric con-
sumer under which electric energy generated
by that electric consumer from an eligible on-
site generating facility and delivered to the Io-
ca/distribution facilities may be used to offset
electric energy provided by the electric utility
to the electric consumer during the applicable
billing period. (Section f t f(d)(1 f)). By law,
electric utilities must begin considering this
standard by August 8, 2007 and make a final
determination by August 8, 2008 whether to
adopt the standard and offer such net meter-
ing service.
Due to the relationship between net me-
tering standards and interconnection stan-
dards, the Commission has determined to
consider these standards jointly.
Washington State Requlrementa on
Net metering
Washington State law requires all electric
utilities to make net metering of electricity
available to customer-generators, subject to
certain qualifications (RCW 80.60) and limit-
ed to certain renewable and other resources.
During the 2006 session, the Washington
State Legislature amended the state net me-
tering standards by passing HB 2352, Chap-
ter 201, Laws of 2006. This law amended
RCW 80.60, the state's net metering statute
which requires utilities to offer net metering
service for certain facility types and sizes, re-
serving half of a utility's net metering capacity
for renewable resources. Specifically, RCW
80.60 was amended by 1) raising the eligible
facility size from 25 kW to 100 kW; 2) add-
ing to the list of eligible facilities to include
small combined heat and power facilities and
those fueled by bioges from animal waste; 3)
increasing the total capacity of net metered
systems on the distribution system from 0.1%
of the systems 1996 peak to 0.25%, with an
additional increase to 0.5% in 2014; and 4)
allowing a public utility district to specifically
limit interconnection to any distribution feed-
er, cimuit, or network based on safety or reli-
ability (Chapter 201, 2006 laws). While this
comparable standard qualifies as prior state
action under EPAct 2005 and thereby would
not require consideration, this Commission
intends to seek public input on amending its
net metering standards (including relevant
interconnection standards) required pursuant
to RCW 80.60.
PUBLIC UTILITY REGULATORY POLI-
CIES ACT
PURPA is intended to encourage 1) the
conservation of energy supplied by electric
utilities; 2) the optimization of the efficiency
of use of facilities and resoumes by electric
utilities; and 3) equitable rates to electric con-
sumers (Section 101). The Commission will
oonsicfar whether a proposed standard for in-
terconnection and net metering meets these
purposes of PURPA.
Under PURPA, electric utilities with total
annual retail sales of 500 million kilowatt-
hours must consider the new standards
(Section 102(a)). However, electric utilities
can choose whether it is appropriate to adopt
the new standards in whole or in part or not
adopt the standards. In addition, nothing un-
der PURPA prohibits this Commission from
modifying or adopting, or not adopting, a dif-
ferent standard or rule pursuant to State law
(Section 117(b)). Some electric utilities and
States have already taken action with re-
gard to these standards prior to enactment
of EPAct. Should the Commission adopt the
proposed interconnection standards in whole
or in pert, they may repeal and replace cur-
rent standards.

BACKGROUND
Energy Policy Act of 2005
On August 8, 2005, the President signed
the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct). SaC'
tion 1252 of EPAct amends Section 111(.
of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Add
1978 (PURPA) to require utilities to consid.
a new standard for time-based metering
communications. This section requires eadl
electric utility to consider whether it is aPP
priate to offer each of its customer claSSY,
and provide individual customers, upon oJs"
tomer request, a time-based rate schedule
under which the rate charged by the eled.
utility varies during different time periods an0
reflects the variance, if any, in the utilit
costs of generating and purchasina electricity
at the wholesale level (Section 1"11(d)(t4))'
PURPA, as amended by EPAct descrli
four types of time-based rate sct'edutes tl
may be offered, including i) time-of-use I.
ing; ii) critical peak pricing; iii) real-time P.
ing; iv) credits for consumers with large
who enter into pre-established peak load "
duction agreements (Section 111 (d)(14)(8}).
The time-based rate and communicstt01
standard also includes a provision whe#/
electric utilities provide, upon a consum dl
request, time-based meters capable of
abling the utility and customer to offer 0
receive such rates (Section 111 (d)(14)(G),)'
By law, electric utilities must begin co n,
ering this standard by August 8, 2006 ,.
determine by August 8, 2007 whether il
appropriate to adopt the standard in wll
or in part and offer such time-based me.
