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.

Also present was Steven F. Greenwald, outside counsel for 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.

Description: On June 3, 2004, Jerry Bloom of White & Case LLP, attorneys for the California 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 expressed the 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 its ratepayers.

Pak indicated that TURN/UCAN's proposal to condition approval of the contract upon renegotiation of the California Department of Water Resources-SER contract was inappropriate, and further that the proposal was unnecessary. Rowley articulated the several unique and substantial attributes of the Project that allowed the project to win the RFP. Rowley stated that SER supported Pres.

Description: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kellogg stated that the plant can satisfy 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 stated further that the project will be built, maintained and staffed with union labor.

Description: On April 23, 2004, Scott Blaising, outside counsel for the City of Escondido (City), met with Cmmr. Brown in San Francisco. Also present was David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown. Blaising described the expectation of the City to receive franchise fee payments on natural gas delivered to the Palomar Energy Project, and the need for an agreement between San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) and the City on franchise fee payments should the project be transferred to SDG&E. Blaising commented that the City favors the alternate of Pres.

Pak, Director of Regulatory Policy & 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.

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.

Also present was Billy Blattner, CPUC Relations Manager, SDG&E. Lorenz stated that the decisions misunderstand the composition of SDG&E's risk management committee, resulting in unnecessary orders affecting the membership and establishing a duplicative audit. Lorenz also noted that 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.

Also present was Billy Blattner, CPUC Relations Manager, SDG&E. Lorenz stated that the decisions misunderstand the composition of SDG&E's risk management committee, resulting in unnecessary orders affecting the membership and establishing a duplicative audit. Lorenz also noted that 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.

Foster stated that all load serving entities should meet resource adequacy (RA) and all RA requirements should start at the same time. Foster noted that the RA requirements should be phased in over the next four years. Foster explained that debt equivalence is a cost to utility customers, which needs to be recognized. Foster asserted that the utilities need more flexibility and should not be required to procure solely through an Request for Proposal process. Foster urged the Commission to adopt SCE's Interim Plan until it resolves the customer base issues and not issue new proposed decisions without giving parties the opportunity to comment.

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.

Lynch, and John Bogy, Attorney at Law, Roy Kuga, Lead Director, Gas & Electric Supply, Valerie Winn, Manager, and Sebastien Csapo, Team Lead, Energy Revenue Requirements, for PG&E. Bogy stated that PG&E supports adoption of a 15 percent planning reserve margin by 2008 as proposed in Cmmr. Lynch's alternate, and indicated that there are 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.

Finally, Kuga and Jacobson urged that the alternate be modified to allow PG&E to enter into multi-year deals under a 'no-regrets' policy.

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.

CalWEA representatives discussed the September 30, 2003 ALJ's ruling denying CalWEA?s motion to modify the most recent request for proposals (RFP) by Southern California Edison Company (SCE). CalWEA representatives expressed disappointment with the Ruling, in that it did not 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.

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.

Hawiger discussed some of 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.

Also present were 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.

ORA representatives stated that the split of energy and capacity values in the proposed decision of ALJ Allen and the alternate of Cmmr. Lynch was a better opinion than combining the two values for purposes of determining a market referent price. ORA further noted that requiring the utilities to seek pre-approval before allowing a significant deficit in the annual procurement target, does not reduce flexible compliance with the RPS program, but goes only to administration and implementation of the program. ORA also stated that pre-determined penalties should be imposed at the rate proposed by many parties, to wit, 5 cents per kilowatt-hour, despite the utilities claim that such a rate was arbitrary.

SCE urged the Commission to support the Peevey alternate with the following modifications: the scope of the disallowance cap should be expanded to include reasonableness of the Investor Owned Utilities' (IOU) compliance with their filed procurement plans; and reasonable timelines should be established for the decisions on the annual and quarterly submissions of IOUs regarding their compliance with their procurement plans. Foster explained that SCE is uncompensated for the administration of the Department of Water Resources? (DWR) contracts and for activities undertaken in compliance with SCE's procurement plans. Foster indicated that efforts to transfer the risk of these activities, especially gas procurement for the DWR, will further jeopardize SCE's credit quality and is in direct violation of Section 454.5(c) of the California Public Utilities Code.

Lorenz stated that all three pending draft decisions would impose hindsight reasonableness reviews. Lorenz explained that while a 'disallowance cap' mitigates to some extent the impact of a reasonableness review, SDG&E believes that the Commission must eliminate reasonableness reviews for conduct consistent with the utilities' annual procurement plans. Lorenz stated that if the Commission continues to conduct reasonableness reviews subject to a disallowance cap, then among the three pending drafts the revised Peevey alternate is preferable, but it should be modified to apply to all procurement activities consistent with the adopted annual procurement plans. Lorenz noted that the Commission would still retain ample opportunities to review utility procurement conduct.

Description: On June 2, 2003, Bill Stock, Chief, Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Robert Kionsian, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, and Manuel Ramirez, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, in two separate meetings in San Francisco. At the meeting with Manuel Ramirez also present was Steven Weissman, advisor to Cmmr. Wood. Roy Kuga, Lead Director, Gas & Electric Supply, PG&E, participated in both meetings. Stock and Kuga reviewed the statutory framework created by AB 57 and noted that the statute requires procurements plans approved by the Commission to eliminate the need for after-the-fact reasonableness reviews of an electrical corporation's actions which are in compliance with such approved plans. PG&E representatives also stated that the various drat decisions in this matter would expose PG&E to risks of procurement reasonableness review. PG&E representatives requested that the Commission adopt an annual disallowance cap for PG&E of $36 million, eliminate Standard of Conducts 6 and 7, and reaffirm the broad scope for the annual disallowance cap to cover all procurement-related activities.

SERs representatives explained that the Commission should deny or at least defer action on the motion.

Katz noted that the RFP was developed in conjunction with SDG&Es Procurement Review Group (PFG) and that the PRG will review bid results. Katz suggested that the Commission should encourage Calpine Corporation to participate in the open, competitive bid process.

During the meetings, the parties? representatives discussed issues related to the procurement proceeding with emphasis on the need for the proceeding to consider the possible reopening of direct access and the possible implementation of a core/noncore market. Parties stated that failure to consider such alternatives could lead to the creation of a whole new class of stranded costs should the utilities contract on a long-term basis to meet the requirements of all of their currently bundled customers. Additionally, the parties asserted that the procedural schedule should provide that the forthcoming short-term 2004 and long-term proceedings should be conducted largely consecutively, as opposed to concurrently.

Harold Ray, Executive Vice President of SCE, participated in all three meetings.

Foster and Ray suggested that the Commission should waive the 1 cents/kWh criterion for procurement of less than one year.

Also present was Les Guliasi, Director of Regulatory Relations, for PG&E. Guliasi and Stock discussed how the Commission should adopt a maximum disallowance risk associated with the administration of the California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) contracts, and that the cap be equal to PG&E's incremental costs incurred to administer the CDWR contracts. Guliasi and Stock noted that the draft decision (DD) needed to be modified so that contractual issues, such as the creation of a limited agency relationship with CDWR, are agreed to in a separate operating agreement rather than including them in the Commission order. Guliasi and Stock also noted that the DD should be modified to ensure that CDWR indemnifies PG&E or, if CDWR does not indemnify PG&E, such costs should be recoverable in rates.

Description: LATE FILED. On December 12, 2002, William Stock, Chief of Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Laura Krannawitter, advisor to Cmmr. Duque, in San Francisco. Also present were Roy Kuga, Director, Gas and Electric Supply, and Bill Manheim, Attorney, for PG&E. PG&E representatives discussed how the Commission should adopt a maximum disallowance risk associated with the administration of the California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) contracts, and that the cap be equal to PG&E's incremental costs incurred to administer the CDWR contracts. PG&E representatives noted that the draft decision (DD) needed to be modified so that contractual issues, such as the creation of a limited agency relationship with CDWR, are agreed to in a separate operating agreement rather than including them in the Commission order. PG&E representatives also noted that the DD should be modified to ensure that CDWR indemnifies PG&E or, if CDWR does not indemnify PG&E, such costs should be recoverable in rates.

Stock stated that ALJ's proposed decision (PD) to be consistent with AB 57 and SB 1078 must be changed to establish a regulatory framework that supports PG&E's return to investment grade credit ratings. Stock also suggested that the PD's contracting requirements and tests, which will choke-off critical avenues for power procurement must be eliminated. Stock also stated that the PD's language must be changed to limit reasonableness review for the utilities' power procurement contracts only to the scope allowed in AB 57. Stock noted that the alternate contains some of the same problems as the PD. Stock also stated that the 15% reserve margin requirement in the alternate should not be adopted. Stock also explained that the 5% spot procurement guideline in the alternate should be clarified to establish that "5%" is relative to total annual demand while "spot market" includes both hour-ahead and day-ahead procurement. Stock further suggested that the AD should provide that an incentive program is an option available to the utilities if they request it.

Katz urged the Commission to focus its attention on a Phase I decision which adopts a regular procurement process. Katz noted that the value of an interim procurement mechanism as envisioned in the proposed (PD) and alternate decisions has been eroded with the passage of time. However, Katz recommended that the Commission craft an amalgam of the three decisions if any interim mechanism is to be adopted. Lorenz explained that such a decision would include, among other provisions, renewables policies consistent with AB 57, per the PD and Pres. Lynch alternate; and the PD's treatment of SO1 contracts to avoid over-supply of off-peak power.

Description: THIS IS AN AUGMENTED NOTICE OF AN EX PARTE COMMUNICATION THAT WAS FILED ON June 27, 2002 AND APPEARED IN THE CALENDAR OF July 9, 2002. On June 25, 2002, Leslie Katz, Regional Vice President of Sempra Energy Utilities (Sempra), met with Cmmr. Brown on behalf of San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) in San Francisco. Also present were Peter Hanson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Joe Kloberdanz, Manager of Electric Case Management, and Billy Blattner, CPUC Relations Administrator, for Sempra. Katz stated that SDG&E supports Southern California Edison Company's (SCE) objective of using the Department of Water Resources (DWR) as the creditworthy buyer for any capacity contracts entered into prior to their return to creditworthiness provided that such authority is granted simultaneously to SDG&E, SCE and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). With respect to any interim procurement, Katz urged the Commission to adopt clear procurement rules and reasonableness criteria, expedited contract review, and timely cost recovery. Katz also stated that the interim mechanism should allow for procurement of only a limited amount of capacity. Katz asserted that the Commission should also consider limiting some percent of the interim purchase contracts to one year. Katz further stated that the Policy Goals for DWR Contract Allocation are contradictory. Katz recommended that the Commission adopt a portfolio approach rather than allocate contracts to utilities.

Brown on behalf of San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E). Also present were Peter Hanson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Joe Kloberdanz, Manager of Electric Case Management, and Billy Blattner, CPUC Relations Administrator, for Sempra. Katz stated that SDG&E supports Southern California Edison Company's (SCE) objective of using the Department of Water Resources (DWR) as the creditworthy buyer for any capacity contracts entered into prior to their return to creditworthiness provided that such authority is granted simultaneously to SDG&E, SCE and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). With respect to any interim procurement, Katz urged the Commission to adopt clear procurement rules and reasonableness criteria, expedited contract review, and timely cost recovery. Katz also stated that the interim mechanism should allow for procurement of only a limited amount of capacity. Katz asserted that the Commission should also consider limiting some percent of the interim purchase contracts to one year. Katz further stated that the Policy Goals for DWR Contract Allocation are contradictory. Katz recommended that the Commission adopt a portfolio approach rather than allocate contracts to utilities.

Reed proposed that any return of utilities to procurement be delayed so that a process can be established to ensure that it is done properly. Katz noted that there should be a process to bring together the utilities and other necessary parties to develop long-term procurement processes and policies. Resley explained that California Department of Water Resources? procurement role for the three utilities? net short should be extended through 2003. Reed also stated that there would be a need for procedures to be in place to avoid after-the-fact reasonableness reviews.

Reed further stated that if the utilities are to return to procurement, San Diego Gas & Electric Company should not be the only utility procuring and that, instead, the steps necessary to return the other utilities to creditworthiness must have been implemented and the others must also begin procurement at that time. Resley stated that reasonableness reviews should be avoided. Katz noted that there should be a mechanism for contemporaneous recovery of purchased power costs. Reed also stated that in order to return to procurement, there is a need to determine the DWR allocation.
