Staff also advised parties that, due to the complications of implementing time-differentiated Net Energy Billing (NEB) kWh credits, Staff is removing this feature from the TOU straw proposals at this time.

"Staff recognizes that time-differentiated kWh credits would likely reduce cross-subsidization; however, Staff believes that the issue of time-differentiated NEB credits would best be pursued in a separate proceeding dedicated to that purpose," Staff said
