CA SB1365

Allows the Public Utilities Commission discretion to determine renewable feed-in tariff payments through competitive solicitations held at least biannually by electrical corporations, rather than only using the market price methodology.

Authorizes the commission to establish any other payment mechanism it deems appropriate for renewable feed-in tariffs under the California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program.

Adds new Section 399.20.1 to the Public Utilities Code to implement alternative payment determination methods while keeping existing market price methodology in Section 399.20 as an option.

Maintains all other existing requirements for renewable feed-in tariffs, including the 10, 15, or 20-year contract periods and inclusion of environmental compliance costs in payment calculations.
