On January 11, 2005, 2003, Sabrina Chaw, Manager, Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in San Francisco. Also present were Donna Barry, Team Lead, and Mark Huffman, Attorney, for PG&E. Chaw stated that PG&E's calculation of the ongoing Competition Transition Charge (CTC) revenue requirement for municipal departing load (MDL) customers was correct and that PG&E is merely applying the CTC calculation according to prior Commission decisions. Huffman acknowledged that the MDL customers are being treated differently than direct access (DA) customers regarding the CTC calculation. However, Huffman pointed out that the parties argued to be treated differently and that they asserted that the Commission should charge only the CTC costs, mandated by statute, to departing load customers. Huffman also noted that although the CTC methodology is now legislatively mandated, the Commission has some discretion in calculating the fees. Barry commented th

On January 5, 2005, Eric Eisenman, Chief of Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), met with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, in San Francisco. Also present were Donna Barry, Team Lead, and Mark Huffman, Attorney, for PG&E. Eisenman requested that the Commission adopt ALJ Wong's proposed decision (PD) and not make any of the changes to the PD requested by other parties. Huffman explained that the Commission previously determined the approach to calculate municipal departing load's (MDL) ongoing Competition Transition Charges (CTC) and that this method should not be changed. Huffman added that the Commission concluded that the ongoing CTC should be based on the components specified in Public Utilities Code Section 367a. Barry explained that the total cost responsibility surcharge, including CTC, for nonexempt MDL could be in the range of 1.0 to 1.8 cents/kWh. Huffman stated that the PD's market benchmark determination is correct and that the PD correctly concludes that PG&E prope

On December 6, 2004, Christopher Mayer, Assistant General Manager Planning and Marketing, Modesto Irrigation District (Modesto), met with Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Manuel Ramirez, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, in three separate meetings in San Francisco. Also present were Dan L. Carroll, counsel for the Merced Irrigation District, and Joy Warren, Senior Staff Attorney for Modesto. Mayer and Warren discussed ALJ Wong¿s proposed decision (PD). Mayer and Warren reviewed AB 189, and specifically Public Utilities Code Sections 367 and 368, and concluded that the PD does not comply with the provisions of these statutes. Mayer and Warren stated that no prior Commission decision authorizes or requires the imposition of discriminatory CTC rates on Municipal Departing Load (MDL) customers. Mayer and Warren noted that Section 367(a)(2) prohibits the inclusion in the 2004 CTC rate calculation of any qualifying facility contracts costs to the extent that the contracts expir

On December 6, 2004, Dan L. Carroll, representing the Merced Irrigation District, met with Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Manuel Ramirez, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, in three separate meetings in San Francisco. Also present were Christopher Mayer and Joy Warren, representing Modesto Irrigation District. Carroll stated that the proposed decision (PD) of ALJ Wong would result in Municipal Departing Load (MDL) customers paying CTC rates four times those of bundled and direct access customers. Carroll noted that although that was the result in the Customer Generation Departing Load case, that case resulted from a settlement. Carroll noted that even though the Commission did not adopt the settlement, it relied upon it. Carroll also stated that D03-04-030 made it clear that it was not addressing MDL CTC issues. Carroll added that D03-07-028, addressing certain MDL cost responsibility surcharge issues, did not adopt a CTC calculation method. Carroll explained that the PD

On October 14, 2003, Sabrina Chaw, Manager of Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in San Francisco. Also present were Donna Barry, Team Lead, and Mark Huffman, Attorney, for PG&E. Chaw pointed out that a proposed decision was recently issued in Southern California Edison's 2004 ERRA proceeding, where the ALJ concluded that the case was not a traditional reasonableness review. Barry noted that a final decision on the 2005 ERRA forecast has become contingent on receiving a final decision in the 2004 proceeding. With respect to the issues anticipated to be resolved in the 2004 ERRA forecast proposed decision, Chaw summarized PG&E's position that it is simply implementing the ongoing CTC calculation in accordance with Commission decisions. Huffman pointed out that
D02-11-022 adopted the total portfolio methodology for direct access customers, and that other decisions adopted the statutory methodology for customer departing load. Chaw s

Peevey, and Regina DeAngelis, staff counsel for the ORA. ORA stated that AB 57 and the Commission's decisions implementing AB 57 require ORA to review utility procurement actions. ORA explained that this review is much more limited than the old-style reasonableness reviews of utility procurement costs. ORA stated that it requires the discovery necessary to review the utility actions, consistent with the intent of AB 57 and the Commission's prior decisions.
