Summary: On December 2, 2005, Erik Jacobson, Chief, Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), met with Stephen St. Marie, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn, in San Francisco. Jacobson discussed the proposed decision of ALJ Allen regarding the allocation of the Department of Water Resources' 2006 Revenue Requirement Determination.

Jacobson explained that the Williams Gas contract was comparable to a cash settlement. Jacobson also indicated that there was a calculation error in the original draft decision that should be corrected. | |

Summary: On December 59, 2005, Hayley Goodson, attorney for The Utility Reform Network, met with Rami Kahlon, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, and Cmmr. Bohn, in two separate meetings in San Francisco. Cmmr. Peevey attended the meeting with Rami Kahlon via videoconference from the Los Angeles offices. In the meeting with Cmmr. Bohn also participated Stephen St. Marie, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn. James Weil, Director of Aglet Consumer Alliance, was also present. Goodson and Dr. Weil addressed the proposed decision (PD) of ALJ Galvin and explained that the record in this proceeding does not justify an increase in return on equity for Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and Southern California Edison Company (SCE). Dr. Weil and Goodson emphasized that the PD provides San Diego Gas & Electric Company with an adequate return on equity relative to the returns that the PD would authorize for PG&E and SCE. | |
