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be non-precedential.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.

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 &

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.

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.

the development of renewable energy. The Mayor sought the Commission's
assurances that approvals of SDG&E's resource procurements would not undermine
the development potential for renewable resources.

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

LATE FILED. On May 3, 2004, Joseph Rowley, Vice President, Asset Management,
Sempra Energy Resources (SER), met with Cmmrs. Wood and Brown in an all-party
meeting in San Francisco. Also present were David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr.
Brown, Steven Weissman, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, and Alvin S. Pak, Director,
Regulatory Policy & Analysis, Sempra Energy Global Enterprises. Rowley and Pak
stated that the Palomar Energy Project (Project) and the associated turnkey
contract emerged as the clear least-cost, best-fit winner of the San Diego Gas
& Electric Company Grid Reliability Request for Proposals (RFP). 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.
Peevey's alternate decision because it addresses the issue of franchise fee
payments to the City of Escondido.

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.

Brown, Steven Weissman, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, Gillian Wright, Director of
Regulatory Affairs, and Billy Blattner, CPUC Relations Manager, for SDG&E, and
other attendees, listed on the attachment to the notice. Lorenz discussed the
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.

On May 3, 2004, Joseph E. Ronan, Senior Vice President of Government and

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.

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.

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

the proposed Palomar Energy Project is to be located. 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. Peevey, since it would specifically approve
SDG&E's ratemaking proposals, including the proposal by SDG&E to make in-lieu
franchise fee payments to the City. Blaising explained that, while the
proposed decision (PD) did not specifically reject SDG&E's proposal to make
in-lieu franchise fee payments to the City, the PD created ambiguity on this
issue since it deferred all ratemaking issues.

Description:
On March 12, 2004, Noel A. Obiora, attorney for the Office of Ratepayer
Advocates (ORA), met with Cmmr. Brown in San Francisco. Also present were
David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Jan Reid and Robert Kinosian,
Analysts for the ORA. Written material (attached to the notice) was used. ORA
representatives explained that an increase in San Diego Gas & Electric
Company's (SDG&E) return on equity for generation should be determined in the
cost of capital proceeding. ORA further stated that Calpine?s Otay Mesa PPA is
not needed, not urgent and will not serve any of the needs SDG&E claimed in
this proceeding. ORA also noted that between Calpine's Otay Mesa plant and
Sempra Energy Resources Palomar plant, the latter was the better project for
the region, but the concerns stated by The Utility Reform Network and the
Utility Consumers Action Network about the Palomar plant were valid.

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.

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

the permanent affiliate transaction ban will preclude SDG&E from bringing the
widest range of procurement opportunities before the Commission; at the very

recognition of debt equivalency, the Otay Mesa project cannot go forward.
Blattner offered SDG&E's resource adequacy proposal as a reasonable framework

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.

On December 11, 2003, Erik Jacobson, Chief, Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas
and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Aaron Johnson, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, in
San Francisco. Also present was Roy Kuga, Lead Director, Gas & Electric
Supply, for PG&E. Jacobson and Kuga stated the need for confidentiality of
certain bid and forecast information. Jacobson and Kuga also indicated that
the PRG process was working well and should be retained. Kuga and Jacobson
further explained the importance of getting a decision soon that approves
PG&E's short-term procurement plan. Kuga and Jacobson described changes that
should be made to Cmmr. Lynch's alternate in the area of unit contingent
contracts and debt equivalence. Kuga and Jacobson stated that the alternate
should also 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. 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.

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.

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.

On October 1, 2003, Nancy Rader, Executive Director of California Wind Energy
Association (CalWEA), met with Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. Also present was
Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, and Joseph Karp of White & Case LLP,
attorney for CalWEA. 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.

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

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.

On September 9, 2003, Robin Smutny-Jones of the California Independent System
Operator (ISO) met with Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. 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.

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.

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.

Company. 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.

On June 9, 2003, Bruce Foster, Vice President of Regulatory Operations of

Director of Regulatory Affairs, SCE, Kent Harvey, William Stock, and Brian
Cherry, of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, and Lad Lorenz, Lisa Urick, and
Billy Blattner, of Sempra Energy. 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.

explained that the proposed decision (PD) of ALJ Allen and the alternate
erroneously omitted ORAs proposal for an independent study of externalities.
ORA representatives also pointed out the fact that a preliminary penalty
scheme, which combines predetermined penalties with an OSC, would serve to
strengthen the PD and the alternate even along the lines of their present
direction, and voiced its support for the proposal that the utilities apply to
the Commission when they anticipate a shortfall of more than twenty-five
percent. ORA representatives requested more guidelines in the PD for the next
phases of the RPS proceeding.

developed by SDG&E and The Utility Reform Network. Lorenz specifically
indicated that SDG&E supported that PD's recommendations with respect to
contract terms, unlimited forward banking of excess procurement, and adoption
of the ISO?s Amendment 42 and indicated that SDG&E was encouraged by the PD?s
recommendation for adoption of a REC-based accounting system. Lorenz also
indicated that SDG&E disagreed with the PD's recommendations related to the
treatment of energy and capacity in the market price referents and as part of
least cost, best fit evaluation. Lorenz recommended that bidders should
identify both capacity and energy costs, and that a project's total costs
should be considered in the bid ranking. Lastly, Lorenz indicated SDG&E?s
support for the Commission's renewable portfolio program.

Cmmr. Peevey, Brian Prusnek, advisor to Cmmr. Kennedy, and other attendees
listed on the attachment to the notice. 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.

all-party meeting in San Francisco. Also present was David Gamson, advisor to

that the statute requires procurement plans approved by the Commission to
eliminate the need fro after-the-fact reasonableness reviews of an electrical
corporation's actions which are in compliance with such approved plans. Stock
stated that the various draft decisions would expose PG&E to risks of
procurement reasonableness review. Stock requested that the Commission adopt
an annual disallowance cap for PG&E of $36 million, eliminate Standard of
Conduct 6 and 7, and reaffirm the broad scope for the annual disallowance cap
to cover all procurement-related activities

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.

Company (SDG&E) to execute a contract with Calpine related to Calpines Otay
Mesa Project, inappropriately seeks to preempt SDG&Es ongoing request for
proposals process, commenced pursuant to the Commissions orders. SERs
representatives explained that the Commission should deny or at least defer
action on the motion.

Schavrien, Vice President Regulatory Affairs, SEU. Schavrien stated that while
San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) agrees that the Commission should
promptly address SDG&Es near- and long-term resource needs, the preferred way
to do so is through SDG&Es recently issued Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking
firm capacity resources. 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.

environmental attributes attributable to a renewable generator need to be
transferred to the utility as part of the renewable procurement process, and
ensure that renewable generators are paid for any environmental attributes that
are transferred to the utilities. The Ridgewood representatives also discussed
whether any changes to the California Public Utilities Code may be necessary in
order to accommodate their concerns.

Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, Laura Krannawitter, advisor to Cmmr. Kennedy,

were Mona Petrochko of Constellation New Energy, Rebecca Schlanert of

Douglass, counsel for the Alliance for Retail Energy Markets. 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.

Kinosian, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, in three separate meetings in San Francisco.
At the meeting with Kevin Coughlan also present were Julie Fitch, advisor to
Pres. Peevey, and Laura Krannawitter, advisor to Cmmr. Kennedy. Harold Ray,
Executive Vice President of SCE, participated in all three meetings. Foster
and Ray expressed SCE's view that the Commission's addition of The Utility
Reform Network's 1 cents/kWh hedging criteria to the Assembly Bill 57
procurement plan adopted by the Commission effectively prevents SCE from
securing any procurement further ahead than 30 days. Foster and Ray suggested
that the Commission should waive the 1 cents/kWh criterion for procurement of
less than one year.

On December 16, 2002, William Stock, Chief, Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas
and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Robert Kinosian, advisor to Pres. Lynch,
in San Francisco. 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:
On October 16, 2002, Bill Stock, Chief, Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas and
Electric Company (PG&E), met with Cmmr. Brown and Cmmr. Duque in two separate
meetings in San Francisco. 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.

inequitable because it will require SCE's ratepayers to pay $350,000,000 more
over the term of the contracts than SCE's proposed contract allocation.

with the contract allocation presented in the proposed decision, PG&E
understands that it represents a 'middle ground' among the various proposals
presented in the proceeding. Stock noted that PG&E will operate the California
Department of Water Resources (CDWR) contracts only as CDWR's agent and the
Commission has no reasonableness review authority over contract operation or
administration. Kuga stated that CDWR will remain responsible for fuel supply
arrangements for its gas-fired contracts. Kuga also urged the Commission to
adopt the trigger mechanisms proposed by the utilities.

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:
On August 15, 2002, William Stock, Chief of Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas
and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Robert Kinosian, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch,
in San Francisco. Stock noted that it is imperative to put into place the
right rules for interim procurement now in order to take advantage of current
market conditions, to be able to work with the California Department of Water
Resources before its authority expires. Stock noted that the alternate of
Cmmr. Peevey, with a few suggested changes, would strike the right balance of
regulation and procurement efficiency. Stock suggested that the proposed and
alternate decisions by ALJ Walwyn and Pres. Lynch, respectively, will not allow
for the needed procurement to be accomplished in time.

During the telephone conversation, Karp urged the Commission to adopt the draft

representatives requested that the Commission order Southern California Edison
Company (SCE) to purchase electricity from those renewable generators located
in SCE's territory holding short-term contracts with the California Department
of Water Resources under the terms and conditions set forth in those contracts.
Ridgewood's representatives further urged the Commission to require that SCE be
ordered to procure a certain amount of renewable electricity as part of any
procurement plan, and to reject the proposal to procure capacity contracts set
for the in SCE's May 6 motion as it would effectively foreclose SCE from
procuring renewable electricity in the near term.

THIS IS AN AUGMENTED NOTICE OF AN EX PARTE COMMUNICATION THAT WAS FILED ON June

Leslie Katz, Regional Vice President of Sempra Energy Utilities (Sempra), met

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.

Summary: On April 25, 2002, Bill Reed, Senior Vice President of Sempra Energy
Utilities (Sempra), met with Cmmr. Brown in San Francisco. Also present were
David Gamson and Belinda Gatti, advisors to Cmmr. Brown, and Leslie Katz,
Regional Vice President, and Robert Resley, Vice President, of Sempra Energy
Utilities. Reed stated that there is a customer benefit from a statewide
planning, acquisition, procurement and dispatch model that should be given
serious consideration as an alternative to returning the utilities to
procurement. 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
also emphasized that all three utilities must be creditworthy before the
utilities return to procurement.

Leslie Katz, Regional Vice President, and Robert Resley, Vice President, of

acquisition, procurement and dispatch model instead of returning the utilities
to procurement, and that Department of Water Resources (DWR) should continue to
engage in procurement until a model is established that will be for the
long-term procurement. 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.
