On December 14, 2005, Dana Appling, Director of the Office of Ratepayer
Advocates (ORA), met with Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. Also present were Marc
Pocta, Program Manager, and Harvey Morris, Assistant General Counsel, for the
ORA. Morris stated that ORA is requesting the Commission adopt the proposed
decision of ALJ Halligan. Morris explained that the alternate decision which
grants PG&E a rate increase for pension contributions effective January 2006 is
inconsistent with the terms of the last general rate case (GRC) settlement and
four-year GRC cycle. Pocta expressed the concerns that the alternate adopts
PG&E's opinion as the funding status of PG&E's pension trust without allowing
other parties to express their views. Pocta noted that the appropriate level of
funding is a complex policy matter that should be considered in the GRC. Pocta
noted that PG&E has addressed pension funding for 2007-2009 in its current GRC.

contribution in 2006 rates subject to refund would result in lower costs to
customers than if the Commission approved contributions for all years as part
of the 2007 general rate case.

stated that ORA is urging the Commission to adopt the proposed decision of ALJ
Halligan and not to adopt the alternate decision which grants Pacific Gas and
Electric Company (PG&E) rate increase for pension contributions in violation of
basic due process protections. Pocta expressed his concerns that the alternate
adopts PG&E's opinions as to the funding status of PG&E's pension trust without
allowing other parties to express their views. Pocta and Appling noted that the

PG&E's petition for modification of the 2003 General Rate Case and explained
that PG&E was seeking to modify the 2003 GRC to allow PG&E to file an
application for a pension showing in 2006. Richard stated that the Commission
specifically allowed PG&E to seek this authority in the last GRC due to changed
circumstances and that the pension plan would continue to remain below funding
levels over the next five years without a contribution.

also attended the meetings. Written materials (attached to the notice) were
used. Cherry indicated that unlike its status at the time of the 2003 General
Rate Case (GRC) decision, PG&E's pension was currently underfunded and that all
PG&E was requesting in its Petition for Modification was an opportunity to make
a showing in support of a 2006 pension contribution. Dowdell clarified that to
begin pension contributions in 2006 would result in lower costs to customers
than if the Commission waited to approve contributions in the 2007 GRC.

normal incidence of delayed bills. Bottorff noted that the number of delayed
bills were now at historic lows. Tomcala stated that the proposed resolution
approved PG&E's request to change its tariff prospectively, but erroneously
sought to mandate additional changes retrospectively. Tomcala explained that
retrospective treatment of these matters was unlawful.

PG&E with the incremental revenues necessary to achieve the reliability
benchmarks in the PG&E/CUE joint agreement, the benchmarks should be revised.
Jacobson explained the importance of having a deadband large enough to account
for performance variations due to weather. Blastic stated that reliability
performance statistics are not comparable across utilities. Blastic compared

Mike Campbell, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, Mark Pocta of the Office of Ratepayer
Advocates, Eric Jacobson, Karen Tomcala, Patrick Golden, and Bruce Smith for

generation settlements that are the subject of the alternate proposed decision
of Cmmr. Brown. Weil indicated that Aglet took a lead role in litigation of
attrition issues. Weil noted that Aglet estimates that the two settlements
will save ratepayers approximately $213 million during the years 2004, 2005 and
2006. Weil stated that the settlements are compromises of strongly held views.
Weil explained that reliance on the Consumer Price Index rather than
utility-specific escalation rates to calculate attrition allowances will
benefit ratepayers.

Tomcala discussed the proposed decision in PG&E's general rate case. Tomcala
and Golden stated that the Distribution and Generation settlements, including
the attrition floors, represent a reasonable compromise of PG&E's, TURN's,
ORA's, and Aglet's litigation positions and should be approved without
modification. Golden stated that the settlement was negotiated after
development of a full evidentiary record and that the settlement was reasonable
based on this record.

On May 12, 2004, Erik Jacobson, Chief, Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas and
Electric Company (PG&E), met with Manuel Ramirez, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, in San
Francisco. Also present was Lise Jordan, Attorney for PG&E. Written materials
(attached to the notice) were used. Jordan stated that PG&E supports the
California Coalition of Utility Employees/PG&E agreement (Agreement) that is
based on a careful balancing of the reliability targets, dead bands, live
bands, reward/penalty limits and the incremental revenue requirement. Jordan
explained the difference between the 'adequate service' standard and the more
stringent reliability targets in the Agreement. Jacobson stated that
anticipated reliability improvements would be small compared to the annual
fluctuations in SAIDI and SAIFI indices. Jacobson urged the Commission to
adopt the Agreement as a whole.

THIS IS AN AUGMENTED NOTICE OF AN EX PARTE COMMUNICATION THAT WAS FILED ON MAY
3, 2004, AND APPEARED IN THE CALENDAR OF MAY 10, 2004. On April 29, 2003, Marc
Joseph, attorney for the Coalition of California Utility Employees (CUE),
participated in an all-party meeting with Cmmr. Wood in San Francisco. Also
present were Manuel Ramirez and Steven Weissman, advisors to Cmmr. Wood, Mark
Pocta for the Office of Ratepayer Advocates, Karen Tomcala, Patrick Golden and
Lise Jordan for Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Bob Gnaizda for the

for The Utility Reform Network, and Diane Fellman for the Diablo Canyon
Independent Safety Committee. Written material (attached to the notice) was
used. Joseph stated that the proposed decision (PD) on storm and reliability
issues should be modified to establish the standard of reasonable performance
at the levels that the PD calculated based on the reliability improvements
being funded in the general rate case, rather than at historic performance
levels. Joseph also stated that PG&E should be given performance incentives
analogous to those for Southern California Edison Company and San Diego Gas &
Electric Company, but that according to the PD, no additional revenue was
required for PG&E to be able to improve its performance.

On April 29, 2004, Mark Pocta, Program Manager, the Office of Ratepayer
Advocates (ORA), met with Cmmr. Wood in an all-party meeting in San Francisco.
Also present were Manuel Ramirez and Steven Weissman, advisors to Cmmr. Wood,
Laura Tudisco, Staff Counsel for ORA, Karen Tomcala, Vice President Regulatory
Relations, and Patrick Golden and Lise Jordan, Attorneys, for Pacific Gas and
Electric Company (PG&E), James Weil of Aglet Consumer Alliance, Matthew
Freedman of The Utility Reform Network, and Marc Joseph of the Coalition of
California Utility Employees. Pocta stated that ORA supported the proposed
decision (PD) of ALJ in PG&E 2003 General Rate Case except with respect to the
elimination of the floors for attrition. Pocta indicated that ORA supported
the PD's treatment of the pension contribution issue. ORA recommended that the
PD be revised to adopt the attrition mechanism floors as set forth in the
settlement. Pocta explained that the PD's elimination of the attrition floors
disregards the fact that the CPI-based mechanism negotiated by the parties
results in attrition increases substantially less than compared to the
traditional methodology proposed by PG&E, and supported by ORA.

Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in two separate meetings in San

discussed the proposed decision (PD) of ALJ Halligan. Cherry stated that the
PD failed to include a reasonable pension contribution for PG&E's CPUC

of paying for a funded status of more than 100% and that any excess above 100%
would be returned to ratepayers.
