Vdi Guideline 2143

[Anthony Small]

Thecontractors of eligible projects are required to maintain and verify payroll records, and to submit digital copies of their certified payroll records for workers of projects subject to this statute to the Commission on July 1st and December 31st of each year. The statute states that if a willful wage violation has been enforced against a contractor of an eligible and interconnected project, then the impacted facility will lose service to any net metering or net billing tariff, or subtariff (Section 2827 or 2827.1).

Ongoing work that started before January 1, 2024, with an active and open interconnection application before that date, is not considered subject to prevailing wage requirements for purposes of accessing the net energy or net billing tariffs. Loss or rejection of such an application (from before January 1st) may adjust requirements.

Contractors with work that qualifies under AB 2143 and PUC 769.2 must submit copies of their payroll records to the CPUC. Guidance around the submission process, along with the records collection portal, can be found on the CPUC Solar-Utilities Reporting, Guidance, and Education (SURGE) website (www.cpucsurge.org).

California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has contracted with GCAP Services to help with outreach and education concerning AB 2143, and initiate the records collection process required by the statute.

A joint public workshop was held on December 15, 2023 by the utilities and GCAP Services. The utilities discussed the contents of an Advice Letter, including revised language for impacted net energy or net billing tariffs, and a new Prevailing Wage Disclosure Form and Checklist to be newly included in the interconnection application process. GCAP Services discussed their Outreach and Education Plan designed to inform stakeholders of key information around AB 2143. Please see below for presentation slides, Outreach and Education Plan draft, and comments submission form.

The SURGE team hosted an informational webinar for solar contractors on April 30, 2024. Another informational webinar will be held on May 29, 2024. Please visit the CPUC SURGE Happenings page for more information.

I was hoping that someone could help guide me on how to get a part. I am in need of replacement parts (2143 home switch) for Creality Falcon 22w. My machine had a fit while framing and I reach into the enclosure to move things out of the way. I suppose that my watch band snagged the switch mechanism and broke it. Any help would be appreciated.

The LED suspensions Rhythm Vertical by Vibia can take the most different shapes and set strong accents above all in stairwells, in foyers and in living rooms with high ceilings. The collection comprises pendant lamps of three different heights, available in two neutral colours. The design is signed by Arik Levy.

The light fixtures consist of 20 to 40 rods of polyamid, each equipped with LED ribbons and polycarbonate diffusers. As an airy, vertical grid, they float with each other, only connected by a central rod and suspended discreetly on thin cables. Each stem can be turned individually so that soft waves, spirals, straight surfaces and asymmetrical zigzags are created. The light is directed upwards and illuminates the room indirectly. The especially warm white colour temperature and very good colour rendering of the LEDs ensure a natural and welcoming illumination, as required in particular in living rooms and in cosy lounge rooms in restaurants.

Rhythm Vertical is a light family with minimalistic aesthetics, with which it is however possible to set impressive accents. Above all the long versions emphasize the room height and require sufficient space, but appear feather-light and immaterial, without blocking the view and cluttering the room.

The purpose of this article was to discuss guidelines for the management of the most prevalent chronic diseases treated by primary care physicians (PCPs) in order to identify the best exercise regimen for each clinical population, and to provide preliminary guidance for primary care providers on exercise counselling in the 'real-world' context of multimorbidity. After a search of the PubMed electronic database, the 11 most prevalent conditions currently treated by PCPs were identified. The recommendations provided by recognised learned/scientific societies for the management of each disease were then examined and any recommendations involving physical activity and exercise were identified. It was found that the best exercise regimen (i.e. exercise type, intensity, duration, and frequency) was very similar across chronic diseases, which suggests that elaborating and implementing a standardised, minimum exercise guideline for multimorbid patients in primary care may be an alternative approach to time-costly individualised exercise prescriptions. Based on this finding, I propose an example of standardised, cross-disease exercise prescription, and discuss how such a prescription could be operationalised by PCPs in their routine clinical practice.

NEM 3.0 has caused the solar industry in California to suffer. Now our wonderful lawmakers are driving another nail into the solar industry with AB 2143. The cost of labor may not be significant to the cost of the larger projects but it does make these projects more expensive coupled with higher interest rates reduces the financial viability of these projects. Our politicians talk about more renewable energy but pass legislation that negatively affects the industry.

I think CA is acting without forethought on AB 2143, as usual. Public projects were already required to pay the prevailing wage. The public project is sold, a prevailing wage contractor prepares for the project among other things requesting the public customer to register the project with the DIR so the contractors working on the public project knows what project to reference when submitting payroll records.

The DIR is the enforcement division of prevailing wage laws. Currently there are no provisions on the DIR website to track private solar projects held under AB 2143 or the IRA. Who enforces the collection and reporting of certified payroll records for non-public solar projects? XYZ Meat Packing, Inc. has nowhere to register their project for CP tracking/enforcement because the DIR is Public project-centric. I have not read the IRA but I doubt that Act addresses CP monitoring or enforcement provisions either.

This needs to apply to residential solar sales companies. This would better control shady sales tactics and installers. As it goes for utility scale solar

projects, unions are in place for workers not earning enough.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC or Commission) is weighing party comments on implementation of Assembly Bill (AB) 2143. Enacted last year, AB 2143 will take effect on January 1, 2024. This bill extends existing prevailing wage requirements for public works to the construction of any renewable electrical generation facility, and any associated battery storage, after December 31, 2023, if that project interconnects under the net energy metering (NEM) tariffs or net billing tariffs (NBTs). The bill includes exceptions for: (1) a residential facility that will have a maximum generating capacity of 15 kilowatts of electricity or that will be installed on a single-family home; (2) a project that is already a public work under existing law; and (3) a facility that serves only a modular home, a modular home community, or multiunit housing that has two or fewer stories.

In its NEM rulemaking proceeding (R.20-08-020), the assigned administrative law judge issued a ruling on April 3, 2023 (Ruling), seeking comments on the implementation of AB 2143. The Ruling includes a detailed list of issues and questions for party comment, including: (1) the triggering point for application of the law and how to approach projects that are under contract, but still in progress towards completion, by January 1, 2024 (when the law takes effect); (2) what role, if any, the investor-owned utilities (IOUs) and community choice aggregators (CCAs) should have in enforcing compliance with AB 2143 and the associated penalties; (3) what role, if any, IOUs and CCAs should have in educating and informing contractors and/or impacted customers about eligibility, wage requirements, and/or penalties; (4) alignment of the NEM tariffs and NBTs with the new wage requirements and penalties; and (5) compliance with the payroll requirement and associated confidentiality issues and coordination between the CPUC, the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), contractors, and utilities.
