The Utility Reform Network, for modification of Resolution E-3527. |
Summary: On September 12, 2001, Robert Finkelstein, Supervising Attorney for The Utility Reform Network (TURN), attended an all-party meeting with Cmmr. Wood in San Francisco. Also present were Cmmr. Brown, Linda Serizawa, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, Chris Danforth for the Office of Ratepayer Advocates, Chris King of American Energy Institute, Theresa Mueller for the City and County of San Francisco, Sara Steck Myers for the City of San Diego, Bruce Foster of Southern California Edison Company, Chris Warner of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Leslie Katz and Keith Melville for San Diego Gas & Electric Company, Ron Liebert of the California Farm Bureau Federation, and Andrew Ulmer of the MBV law firm and Frank Perdue of Navigant Consulting, on behalf of the Department of Water Resources (DWR). Finkelstein described why TURN views the draft decision (DD) as reflecting a troubling outcome. Finkelstein addressed the inter-utility allocation proposed in the DD, and pointed out that the allocation was impacted far less by price differences among the service territories, and far more by the quantity of energy purchased for the utility relative to the net short. Finkelstein also addressed ancillary services, pointing out that the DD continues to rely on the inflated revenue requirement put forward by DWR. Finkelstein urged the Commission to pay close attention to TURN's comments on the DD, where, using the data provided by the Energy Division, TURN had developed an overall revenue requirement and an allocation thereof that is cost-based, and far more reasonable than the DD's treatment of those issues. | |
