2020-11332. Data Collection for Analytics and Surveillance and Market-Based Rate Purposes; Notice of Extension of Time

On May 6, 2020, the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) submitted a motion requesting that the Commission extend the effective date of Order No. 860 and the deployment of the market-based rate database (MBR Database) by four months to February 1, 2021 and the due date for initial baseline submission until June 1, 2021.

EEI asserts that good cause exists to grant the extension because the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic creates challenges in meeting the implementation schedule established in Order No. 860.

Upon consideration, notice is hereby given that the effective date of Order No. 860 is extended to and including six months to April 1, 2021, and the deadline for baseline submissions is extended to and including August 2, 2021. Further, other implementation dates in Order No. 860 are extended as shown in the attached appendix.

Dated: May 20, 2020.

Kimberly D. Bose,

Secretary.
