As I recall, Burton amended the bill in a way that explicitly prohibit diesel DG units from helping California avoid rolling black outs this summer. I believe the exclusion was made on grounds that running diesel would be too environmentally damaging? Could you provide a brief update? Is there anything in the bills that addresses the restrictions on the number of hours that these units are permitted to run? Thanks very much.

One idea is to modify existing customer emergency diesel generators such that we could turn them on and supply power to the grid when the customer does not need the power. We believe current regulations limit use of diesel (#2 fuel oil) fired emergency generators to only be operated when the utility is not currently supplying power to the facility and in that case, maximum of 500 hoursper year for hospitals and other critical services but only 200 hours per year for all others. There may be legislation currently being submitted to the California legislature or other regulatory body (EPA?) to change this based on current need for power in that area. Could you please advise me if there is currently any legislation like this under consideration and/or when this may occur? Thank you for your assistance. Roger
