BOMA California Wins Historic Agreement on Submetering;
CPUC Adoption Provides New Tool to Improve
Energy Efficiency in High Rise Commercial
Consistent with its efforts to improve the efficiency of California’s electrical
system, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved a
Settlement Agreement between the Building Owners and Managers Associations
of San Francisco and of California (BOMA) and Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E) that creates new options for the allocation of commercial
building electricity costs and provides tenants with price signals and incentives
for managing their electricity consumption and reducing costs.
This Guide describes the rules for building owners to follow in the implementation of tenant submetering and billing,
as dictated by the CPUC
BOMA has been able to negotiate a significant rate reduction for large commercial users. In Northern California, this rate reduction in the bundled cost of electricity will save an estimated $23 million for BOMA members, and up to $43 million in energy cost savings to all large commercial customers in the PG&E service area over the next three years. Read this document to learn more about all of BOMA California's electrical rate advocacy.
