Description:
On July 25, 2006, Lad Lorenz, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, San Diego
Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), Rami Kahlon, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in San
Francisco. Also present were Belinda Gatti, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, Stephen
St. Marie, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn, Andrew Campbell, advisor to Cmmr. Chong, and
Mike Schneider, Director of Business Planning and Budgets, and Lisa Urick,
Attorney, for SDG&E. Written materials were used, and are provided with this
notice, as follows: confidential portions of the materials are submitted under
seal, pursuant to the protective order adopted in this proceeding; and
non-confidential portions of the written materials are attached to the notice.
Lorenz provided a general overview of the joint petition for modification (PM)
and pointed out that the Otay Mesa Plant has a new on-line date of May 1, 2009,
as well as 'put' and 'call' options that could result in SDG&E owning the plant
in 2019. Urick explained that the Commission has already found that the plant
is needed. Urick also explained that approval of the FIN 46 effects here would
be non-precedential. Schneider described the economics that support the revised
Power Purchase Agreement, including the put and call options prices and why
these prices are advantageous.

Description:
On December 6, 2004, Michael Alcantar, counsel to the Cogeneration Association
of California (CAC), met with Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, in San
Francisco. Also present were Kelly Lucas, Executive Director, and Phil
Herrington, partner of the Mid-Set Cogeneration Company (Mid-Set). Parties
reviewed the status of ad hoc negotiations with utilities regarding the
retention of cogeneration resources, and possible actions to resolve disputes
related to utility offered contract terms or prices. With regard to SO1 offers,
parties noted that Pacific Gas and Electric Company had incorporated conditions
in its terms and conditions that were not consistent with SO1 contracts.
Parties explained that these objectionable terms related to features seeking
retroactive adjustment of payments for delivered energy and capacity. With
regard to Mid-Set, parties noted that the long term firm power resource
cogeneration project was in a unique position of terminating before the
establishment of a policy or long run avoided cost determinations. Parties also
reviewed options for needed relief related to this long term firm resource
timing regarding the establishment of a firm, long term contract in light of
the operating conditions associated with Mid-Set.

and John Pappas, Manager, Power Contracts, and Mary Gandesbery, Attorney, PG&E.
De Rosa and Gandesbery reviewed the status of PG&E's efforts to execute
five-year SO1 contract extensions with existing qualifying facilities (QFs) and
described some of the generic contract amendments being proposed by PG&E in
these negotiations. De Rosa indicated that PG&E is on track to execute these
contract extensions and that PG&E's long-run goal is to move QF prices to
market and obviate the need for these SO1 contract extensions.

On September 7, 2004, Jerry Bloom of White & Case LLP, attorneys for the
California Cogeneration Council (CCC), met with Pres. Peevey, in San Francisco.
Also present were Raminder Kahlon of the Commission and Lisa Cottle of White &
Case LLP. Bloom and Cottle expressed concern regarding the petition for writ
of review that Southern California Edison Company recently filed in the
California Court of Appeal. CCC noted that in the petition Edison seeks to set
aside and vacate the Commission's decisions requiring Edison to sign SO1
contract extensions with existing qualifying facilities. CCC representatives
asked for the Commission's assistance in defending the decisions. The CCC
representatives also explained how important it is for California's
manufacturing and industrial companies to be able to continue operating their
existing cogeneration facilities.

Calpine. The Calpine representatives discussed issues related to San Diego Gas
& Electric Company?s (SDG&E) Grid Reliability Capacity Request for Proposals
and issues related to Otay Mesa power purchase agreement (PPA) between SDG&E
and Calpine. The Calpine representatives explained the significant reliability
and RMR cost savings and other economic benefits that the PPA would provide to
SDG&E and its ratepayers. The Calpine representatives further explained that
approval of Cmmr. Wood?s alternate proposed decision rejecting the PPA would
needlessly deny SDG&E and its ratepayers such reliability and economic benefits
and ultimately increase costs to ratepayers.

Cogeneration Council (CCC), met with Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in
San Francisco. Also present was Lisa Cottle of White & Case LLP. Bloom and
Cottle discussed the status of CCC member companies' efforts to obtain
five-year Standard Offer 1 (SO1) contracts from California's investor-owned
utilities (Utilities). Bloom and Cottle explained that CCC members have not
been able to obtain a five-year SO1 contracts from any Utility, despite their
repeated requests. Bloom and Cottle discussed the CCC's concerns that the
Utilities are likely to impose unreasonable terms on qualifying facilities
(QFs) once they do finally make the five-year SO1 contracts available. Bloom
and Cottle discussed the need for long-term contracts for existing and new QFs,
explaining that companies are making decisions now about whether to make
investments in their facilities. Bloom and Cottle noted that companies are
interested in investing in new cogeneration facilities, and are paying close
attention to California's QF policies in deciding whether to make those
investments.

Engelbrecht and Pak conveyed SER's support for Cmmr. Peevey's alternate

the issue of maintaining the tax interests of the City of Escondido and that it
correctly finds that the contract between SER and San Diego Gas & Electric

opposition of SER to Cmmr. Wood's alternate, and stated that the alternate
holds that the Commission should defer approval of the Palomar contract.
Engelbrecht and Pak indicated that the delays would result in adding
substantial costs to the project, and would increase other costs to SDG&E and

On May 6, 2004, Matthew Freedman, attorney of The Utility Reform Network
(TURN), met with Steven Weissman, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, in San Francisco.
Freedman expressed concerns about the fairness of the grid-reliability
solicitation conducted by San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) and the
reasonableness of the selection of the Otay Mesa project for a 10-year Power
Purchase Agreement. Freedman explained that, because Otay Mesa is not needed
for grid reliability purposes, ratepayers would be better served if the
Commission ordered SDG&E to conduct a solicitation for long-term resources.
Freedman also explained why customers of all three utilities would benefit from
requiring, as a condition precedent to the approval of the Palomar transaction,
Sempra Energy Resources to renegotiate its long-term supply contract with the
California Department of Water Resources. Finally, Freedman expressed strong
opposition to the ratemaking treatment requested by SDG&E for both the Palomar
and Otay Mesa transactions.

On May 3, 2004, Joseph E. Ronan, Senior Vice President of Government and
Regulatory Affairs of Calpine Corporation (Calpine), attended an all-party
meeting with Cmmrs. Brown and Wood in San Francisco. Also present were Steven
S. Schleimer, Director of Market and Regulatory Affairs, Curt Hildebrand, Vice
President of Sales and Marketing, David Lewis, Vice President of Marketing and
Sales, Richard Thomas, Vice President of Finance/Project Development, Mitchell
Weinberg, Director of Project Development, and Jeffrey Gray, outside counsel,
for Calpine, and other attendees listed on the attachment to the notice.
Schleimer discussed the significant reliability and economic benefits that the
Otay Mesa power purchase agreement (PPA) would provide to San Diego Gas &
Electric Company (SDG&E) and its ratepayers. With respect to new transmission
facilities proposed by SDG&E in A04-03-008, Schleimer stated that, as both the
proposed decision and alternate decision correctly find, new facilities are not
needed for Otay Mesa to provide local reliability nor to be eligible to qualify
for RFP. Schleimer explained that these proposed new transmission facilities
are needed to maximize RMR cost reduction benefits that SDG&E gets from the
Otay Mesa PPA and provide additional system wide benefits to SDG&E. Gray
explained that the hearing process provided parties opposing the PPA a full and
fair opportunity to show that each has a viable project that is capable of
meeting the RFP criteria and offered terms that were better than the Otay Mesa
PPA. Gray stated that none of these parties made any such showing. Gray
further stated that the failure to timely approve the Otay Mesa PPA would
jeopardize SDG&E's ratepayers realization of significant economic benefits
under the PPA.

Brown, Steven Weissman, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, Gillian Wright, Director of

grid reliability needs of the SDG&E system absent the Valley Rainbow
transmission project, and the recognition of the need for new generation by key
state leaders. Lorenz described the benefits of the Palomar and Otay Mesa
projects in providing needed reliability and displacing existing costly
reliability must-run contracts, and the need and justification for the proposed
financial provisions related to these projects adopted in Cmmr. Peevey?s
alternate decision. Lorenz explained that SDG&E will need more resources
starting in 2010 and 2011, which will provide opportunities for projects not
selected in this RFP. Lorenz urged quick Commission action to provide the grid
reliability resources.

participants. Joseph stated that CUE and CURE support the Palomar and Otay
Mesa projects and that both projects have agreements that mean they will be
constructed, maintained and operated with union employees. Joseph also noted
that the projects will reduce the consumption of natural gas because they are
much more fuel-efficient than older plants. Joseph noted that the other
projects each have problems: Enpex will have trouble getting emissions offsets,
the capability of the Nevada Hydro developers is questionable, new transmission
is hard to site, and Mexican plants mean exporting jobs and importing pollution.

RMR requirements for San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), saving the
utility and its ratepayers millions of dollars per year. Kellogg indicated
that the emissions from the plant will be more than fully offset with new LNG
trash trucks and repowered marine vessels, and will be air-cooled. Kellogg

On May 3, 2004, John Leslie, attorney for Coral Power, L.L.C., met with Cmmr.
Brown and Cmmr. Wood in an all-party meeting in San Francisco. Also present
were David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, Steven Weissman, advisor to Cmmr.
Wood, and active participants in the San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) RFP phase
of the proceeding. Leslie stated that Coral neither supports nor opposes the
proposed ten-year purchased power agreement (PPA) for the output of the Otay
Mesa generation facility. Leslie expressed concern, however, that through
SDG&E's acceptance of the Otay Mesa project (Project) bid, the RFP process
'morphed' into a resource procurement effort that extended far beyond the scope
of SDG&E's original RFP. Leslie stated that the Otay Mesa PPA reflects a
resource that is not needed for local grid reliability in the 2005-2007 RFP
period, and cannot provide local grid reliability in the RFP period. Leslie
stated that it is troubling that the Project was accepted when it is
'electrically' outside SDG&E's local reliability area, and when the Project
cannot serve SDG&E's local reliability needs until after the end of the RFP
period. Leslie explained that the economic benefits of the Project can only be
assessed by considering, among all other costs, the cost of the associated
transmission facilities. Leslie emphasized that Coral does not necessarily
oppose the Project; however the Commission's approval of the Project should not
be allowed to delay or otherwise prejudice the Commission's review of new, 500
kV transmission line projects that are being considered in the ISO's STEP
process in that have the potential to increase SDG&E's import capability.

Analysis, Sempra Energy Global Enterprises, representing Sempra Energy
Resources (SER), met with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Roosevelt
Grant III, advisor to Pres. Peevey, in two separate meetings in San Francisco.
In the meeting with Roosevelt Grant III also participated Julie Fitch, advisor
to Pres. Peevey. Also present were William R. Engelbrecht, Vice President of
Energy Supply for SER, and Dale Kelly-Cochrane, Vice President of Budget &
Planning for Sempra Energy LNG Corp. (LNG). SER's representatives noted that
the issue of affiliate transactions continues to be addressed in this
proceeding in disregard of prior procedural instructions and despite the lack
of an evidentiary record. Pak pointed out that the testimony of the parties
never mentioned or recommended the adoption of an outright ban on affiliate
transactions. Engelbrecht stated that SER had just brought over 2350 megawatts
of high-efficiency generation into the southwestern market and that precluding
their participation in a future competitive solicitation conducted by affiliate
San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) would reduce the liquidity in the
SDG&E market to the detriment of ratepayers. Kelly-Cochrane stated that the
recently issued decision was unclear as to whether the affiliate ban covered
gas-related and potentially LNG-related transactions and noted that this could
affect the utilities' access to the benefits of LNG supplies. SER
representatives concluded by indicating that Sempra companies would be seeking
to reverse or stay the ban pending a full evidentiary exploration of the
implications and adverse consequences of the affiliate ban as part of a duly
convened evidentiary hearing.

Energy. Referring to the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Program, Myers
expressed concern about what appeared to be a significant lapse of time in
completing implementation of that program by the Commission. Myers stated that
it was CEERT's position that only a few central tasks remained to be completed
by the Commission to allow for a trigger a first RPS-compliant utility
solicitation for renewable generation. Myers stated that she appreciated
SDG&E's commitment and contribution to RPS implementation. White emphasized
the need to facilitate timely and collaborative decision-making on the key
remaining RPS implementation issues. White and Myers stated that limitations
in Commission, utility, and party resources made focused, efficient
decision-making critical. Roberts noted that creating an unnecessary,
overly-prescriptive process could delay or even thwart implementation of SB
1078.

the ISO should have the responsibility for implementing resource adequacy
requirements for non-utility load serving entities, particularly Direct Access
customers and Community Aggregators. Cauchois explained that this would

Brown, and Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, in two separate meetings in

Manager, SDG&E. Lorenz stated that the decisions misunderstand the composition
of SDG&E's risk management committee, resulting in unnecessary orders affecting

the permanent affiliate transaction ban will preclude SDG&E from bringing the
widest range of procurement opportunities before the Commission; at the very
least, the Commission should allow pre-approval. Lorenz added that without
recognition of debt equivalency, the Otay Mesa project cannot go forward.
Blattner offered SDG&E's resource adequacy proposal as a reasonable framework
that would prevent gaming, preserve the Commission's jurisdiction, and assure
resources.

flexibility and should not be required to procure solely through an Request for

until it resolves the customer base issues and not issue new proposed decisions

in San Francisco. Also present were Cmmr. Lynch and David Gamson, advisor to
Cmmr. Brown. Joseph stated that both the proposed decision and Cmmr. Peevey's
alternate erred in saying that the utilities should rely on the formal RFP
process to secure utility owned long-term generation resources, and that this
would be a train wreck, like the BRPU. Joseph explained that it is very hard
to compare plants because the comparison cannot be based on price alone.
Joseph suggested that the Commission should say that the utility is expected to
develop a reasonable mix of utility and third party generation, using the
traditional certificate of public convenience and necessity process for utility
generation and an RFP for third party generation.

diminishing returns to purchasing higher reserve margins. Bogy explained
PG&E's view that all load serving entities should be required to meet the same
reserve requirements. With respect to requirements to purchase capacity on a
forward basis, Bogy explained PG&E's opposition to the ISO's 90 percent
year-ahead and 100 percent month-ahead requirements adopted in Cmmr. Peevey's
alternate. Finally, Bogy stated that PG&E recommends modifying the proposed
and alternate decisions to recognize the importance of debt equivalence. Bogy
also reiterated PG&E's strong support for revising the SRAC methodology because
it produces prices that exceed avoided cost.

PG&E's short-term procurement plan. Kuga and Jacobson described changes that
should be made to the decisions in the area of unit contingent contracts and
debt equivalence. Kuga and Jacobson also indicated that the proposed decision
by ALJ Walwyn and the alternate by Cmmr. Lynch should be modified to eliminate
the opportunity for direct access and community aggregation customers to
opt-out of any reserve charge established to recovery the cost of procuring
reserves on their behalf.

the three proposed decisions (PDs) issued in this proceeding, and stated that
there is a critical need to extend the interim standard offer one contracts
beyond the end of this year. The CCC representatives stated further that the
Commission should remove its findings in the PDs regarding short-run avoided
cost prices. Lastly, the CCC representatives urged the Commission to removed
language from the PDs that would condition the utilities' obligation to buy
from qualifying facilities (QF) on the utilities' own determination of their
need for QF power.

LATE FILED. On December 1, 2003, Andrea Weller of Strategic Energy, on behalf
of the Alliance for Retail Energy Markets (AREM), met with David Gamson,
advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in two
separate meetings in San Francisco. Also present was Mona Petrochko of
Constellation Energy, on behalf of AREM. AREM representatives stated that AREM
members do not oppose energy service providers (ESPs) being required to
demonstrate resource adequacy, but would oppose being required to make that
demonstration to the Commission. AREM representatives observed that the
alternate of Cmmr. Peevey is consistent with AREM's position that any resource
adequacy requirement for ESPs and other non-utility load-serving entities
(LSEs) should be administered by the California Independent System Operator.
AREM urged the Commission, however, to clarify in its final decision that
consistent standards should be used to determine whether a power purchase
agreement counts toward a LSE's reserve requirement, irrespective of whether
the contracting party is the Department of Water Resources (DWR) or a utility,
and ESP or other LSE. AREM also urged the Commission to clarify that for
purposes of determining resource adequacy, the capacity associated with DWR
contracts should be allocated to ESPs to the extent their customers pay for the
cots of those contracts through Direct Access Cost Responsibility Surcharges.

Pizarro and Schoonyan discussed the proposed decision of ALJ Walwyn (PD), and
the alternate of Cmmr. Peevey (AD) issued on November 18, 2003. Dr. Pizarro
referred to SCE's Long-Term Plan and stated that neither the PD nor the AD
adopts any long-term resource plan. With respect to resource adequacy, Dr.
Pizarro stated that the ramp-up period adopted by AD is too short. Ray
discussed issued related to SCE's Short-Term procurement plan, and stated that
numerous provisions adopted by the PD and AD would unduly prevent achievement

Manheim, Chief Counsel, Generation, for PG&E. Kuga stated PG&E's general
concerns with the proposed decision and alternate short-term and long-term
procurement plants. Kuga and Manheim also expressed PG&E concern with the
policy of requiring utilities to rely exclusively on unit commitment contracts
for deals greater than one year in duration. Kuga and Manheim further
explained PG&E's concern with the policy adopted in the alternate of requiring
utilities to purchase 100 percent of their reserve capacity on a month ahead
basis. Kuga and Manheim stated PG&E's concern with opt-out provisions for
direct access and community aggregation suppliers. Kuga and Manheim indicated
that non-utility suppliers should be held to the same planning reserve
requirements imposed on utilities. Kuga and Manheim stated that with respect
to the alternate, the Commission should condition any additional direct access
on the ISO's implementation of effective resource adequacy requirements.

directly order SCE to conform its RFP to the Assigned Commissioner's ruling
issued in August and other legitimate grievances raised by CalWEA in its
motion. CalWEA representatives stated that the Commission does not know how
SCE will evaluate non-conforming bids. CalWEA representatives raised a concern
that SCE could be trying to reach the 20% target under the renewable portfolio
standards program without buying from wind generators from the Tehachapi area,
so that SCE can then avoid building the transmission line upgrade for that area.

issued by Southern California Edison Company. CalWEA representatives stated
that a number of terms in the RFP do not comply with the most recent Assigned
Commissioner's Ruling and D03-06-071. CalWEA representatives cautioned the
Commission not to evaluate whether the RFP is successful merely based on the
number of bids submitted or based on whether contracts are signed, given that
projects may not be completed or that the price may be higher than otherwise
due to onerous terms imposed in the RFP. Lastly, CalWEA representatives urged
the Commission to take action prior to October 5, 2003, the new deadline to
submit bids.

the overlap between the procurement proceeding and the energy efficiency
rulemaking R01-08-028 with respect to issues concerning energy efficiency
programs, funding and administration. Hawiger stated TURN's position that the
Commission should not approve specific utility programs, or authorize utility
administration of programs, in the procurement proceeding, but should instead
address these issues in the energy efficiency rulemaking. Hawiger stated that
the Commission could authorize funding as requested by the utilities but defer
other issues to the energy efficiency rulemaking.

Barbara Hale, Director, Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, Bill Ahern,
Executive Director, Jim Hendry, and Kerry Hattevik, for the Commission, and
Terry Winter, Phil Pettingil, and Anjali Sheffrin, for the ISO. Written
material (attached to the notice) was used. ISO personnel expressed concerns
about the direction of resource adequacy in California. ISO representatives
stressed that it is extremely risky to approve plans that allow the
investor-owned utilities to rely heavily on spot market purchases going
forward. ISO recommended that load serving entities be required to demonstrate
one month ahead of real time that they have locked up sufficient firm capacity
to meet their needs. ISO personnel also discussed the Joint Proposal for
resource adequacy and stated that the ISO cannot support the proposal because
it does not contain a month ahead capacity obligation. ISO also expressed
concern about the time frame for getting resource adequacy requirements in
place. Parties also discussed the Miguel-Mission transmission line. Winter
expressed urgency in getting the line sited.

Description:
On September 2, 2003, Brian Cherry, Director, Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas
and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. Also
present were Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, and William Manheim,
attorney, PG&E. Cherry stated that PG&E was ready to discuss the role that the
California Power Authority (CPA) could play as a contributor to PG&Es
integrated electricity portfolio. However, Cherry mentioned that PG&E has no
need for additional peaking facilities in the 2004-2008 time-period. Manheim
discussed the large surpluses of generation in 2004 and 2005, and identified
this surplus as a more economic source of capacity and energy to fill PG&Es
open position. Manheim further discussed the assessment of the cost/benefit
ratios of the CPA peaker projects, and how effectively these projects can
address local reliability issues.

Description:
On August 22, 2003, David Freeman, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
California Consumer Power and Conservation Financing Authority (CPA), spoke
with Pres. Peevey by telephone. Freeman made it clear that he was not talking
about the merits of the procurement case - rather, he was communicating on an
agency-to-agency basis to advance implementation of the Joint Energy Action
Plan. Freeman asked that the CPA peaker proposals be carved out of the
proceeding and that the utilities be required to consider them and all parties
file reports so that the Commission will have sufficient time to evaluate their
impact prior to issuing a procurement decision.
