Type: EXPARTE Filing Date: November 30, 2007 Filed By: Cogeneration Association of California Energy Producers & Users Coalition Description: SUMMARY: On November 28, 2007, Michael Alcantar, counsel to the Cogeneration Association of California and the Energy Producers and Users Coalition, (jointly, CAC/EPUC) met with Andrew Schwartz, advisor to Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. The issues addressed were the terms and conditions for extension contracts pursuant to D.07-09-040, and procedural options to secure CPUC direction regarding the extension contracts. Two specific extension contract situations were discussed. The first set was to seek specificity on the designation of "price" terms (versus "non-price" terms, and particularly performance provisions) that could be modified in the extension agreements. The second set was to address the options for previously terminate firm capacity CHP/QF resources to reinstate firm capacity terms and conditions.

Type: EXPARTE Filing Date: September 21, 2007 Filed By: Southern California Edison Company Description: SUMMARY: On September 18, 2007 Bruce C. Foster, Senior Vice President of Southern California Edison Company (SCE) met with Cmmr. Grueneich in San Francisco. Also present were Theresa Cho, advisor to Cmmr. Grueneich and Michael Hoover, Director of Regulatory Affairs of SCE. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. Foster explained that the energy payment formula in the Alternate Proposed Decision (Alternate) produces prices that exceed SCE's short-run avoided cost (SRAC) of energy. Hoover stated that the firm capacity price in the Alternate is too high and exceeds SCE's avoided cost of capacity. Hoover explained that the $157/kW-year MPR capacity price used in the Alternate should be reduced by at least $55/kWyear to account for savings gained from running in the energy market. The firm capacity price should also be reduced by an additional $10/kW-year. Hoover also stated that there is no need to require standard offer contracts, particularly for QFs because QFs have many options for selling thei Type: EXPARTE Filing Date: September 20, 2007 Filed By: The Utility Reform Network Description: SUMMARY: On September 17, 2007, Michel Peter Florio, Senior Attorney for The Utility Reform Network (TURN), met with Theresa Cho, advisor to Cmmr. Grueneich, in San Francisco. Florio summarized TURN's major concerns with the Alternate Proposed Decision (APD) of Commissioner Grueneich. Florio stated that it would be difficult and speculative to forecast the energy profits that a proxy combined cycle plant would earn in the market over the ten-year period of the firm capacity contract adopted by the APD. Florio recommended that the Commission adopt a capacity payment structure for the firm contract that did not contain a deduction for such energy profits and likewise base the energy payment under the contract on a fixed heat rate equal to that of the proxy unit. Florio also stated that the factors cited in the APD as justifying a 50/50 average of a market-based heat rate have been declining.

Foster, Senior Vice President of Southern California Edison Company (SCE), met with Robert Kinosian, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn in San Francisco. Also present was Michael Hoover, Director of Regulatory Affairs of SCE. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. Foster explained that the energy payment formula in the Alternate Proposed Decision (Alternate) produces prices that exceed SCE's short-run avoided cost (SRAC) of energy. Foster stated that the firm capacity price is too high and explained that the $157/kW-year MPR capacity price should be reduced by at least $55/kWyear to account for savings gained from running in the energy market. The firm capacity price should also be reduced by an additional $10/kW-year to account for the residual value associated with the MPR's 20-year annualization of a proxy unit that has a 30-year economic/operating life. The Alternate should be modified to limit the availability of standard offer contracts to QFs with a ne Type: EXPARTE Filing Date: September 20, 2007 Filed By: Cogeneration Association of California Energy Producers and Users Coalition Description: SUMMARY: On September 17, 2007, Michael Alcantar, counsel to the Cogeneration Association of California and Energy Producers and Users Coalition (jointly, CAC/EPUC) met with Cmmr.

Type: EXPARTE Filing Date: September 20, 2007 Filed By: California Cogeneration Council Description: SUMMARY: On September 17, 2007 Beth Vaughan, Executive Director of the California Cogeneration Council (CCC) participated in a conference call with Andrew Schwartz, advisor to Pres. Peevey. R. Thomas Beach, consultant to the CCC; David Hermanson, a member of the CCC employed by Primary Energy; Jerry R. Bloom and Joseph M. Karp of Winston & Strawn, LLP, counsel for the CCC also participated in the conference call. CCC representatives stated that the Alternate Proposed Decision (Alternate PD) places too much weight on the NP-15 and SP-15 spot market prices and proposed they account for no more than one third of the SRAC formula, with the existing administrative values making up the difference. CCC representatives proposed that the Commission require the utilities to employ the updated time of use ("TOU") factors adopted by the Commission for energy efficiency and demand response programs. CCC representatives explained that Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) City-gate prices should be used in PG&E'S new Type: COMMENTS Filing Date: September 17, 2007 Filed By: Cogeneration Association of California Energy Producers and Users Coalition Description: Reply; On the Alternate Decision of Commissioner Grueneich.

CCC representatives expressed their support for the Alternate Proposed Decision (Alternate PD), but noted that it places too much weight on the NP- 15 and SP-15 spot market prices. CCC representatives proposed that the Commission require the utilities to employ, on an interim basis, the updated time of use ("TOU") factors for energy efficiency and demand response programs, and revisit these interim TOU factors in the technical workshop that the Alternate PD requires 60 days after the Commission's decision. CCC representatives also explained that PG&E City-gate prices should be used in PG&EYS new SRAC formula rather than the arbitrary 50150 mix of Malin and Topock gas.

Also present were Andrew Swartz, advisor to Pres. Peevey; Jerry R. Bloom of Winston & Strawn, LLP, counsel for HL Power. HL Power expressed continuing concerns with the Proposed Decisions ("PDs") and stated that the PDs, as currently drafted, would have a significantly adverse impact on HL Power's operation of its biomass qualifying facility and while the alternative proposed decision ("APD") by Commr. Grueneich was a vast improvement over the original Proposed Decision, there were several issues that needed additional attention. HL Power asked: (1) that the 50150 split between NP151SP15 and administratively determined heat rates in the APD be changed to a one third two third split, respectively; (2) that PG&E's time of use periods be corrected in the forthcoming Commission decision, rather than being delayed for further consideration, and (3) that the city gas plus transportation be used for the gas pricing ut Type: EXPARTE Filing Date: September 13, 2007 Filed By: Independent Energy Producers Association Description: SUMMARY: On September 11, 2007 Steven Kelly, Policy Director to Independent Energy Producers Association (IEP) met with Pres.

Type: EXPARTE Filing Date: August 23, 2007 Filed By: Southern California Edison Company Description: SUMMARY: On August 20, 2007 Bruce C. Foster, Senior Vice President of Southern California Edison Company (SCE) met with Andrew Schwartz, advisor to Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. Also present was Michael Hoover, Director of Regulatory Affairs of SCE. Foster stated that any methodology for calculating the short run avoided cost (SRAC) of energy should be based on data for a robust market from a transparent source. The methodology in the Revised Proposed Decision (PD) does not satisfy this, criteria because there is no publication that provides the 24 months of forward electricity prices required by the Revised PD. SCE's proposed SRAC methodology uses historical SP-15 day-ahead prices and relies on transparent, market-based data that SCE actually uses to dispatch resources. Foster also stated that there is no need to require Standard Offer contracts for expiring or new QF resources. Contact Person: Henry Romero, telephone: (626) 302-3102, email: Henry.Romero@sce.com.

Bloom, counsel for the California Cogeneration Council (CCC) met with Nancy Ryan, advisor to Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. Also present was Andrew Swartz, advisor to Pres. Peevey. Bloom stated that the Proposed Decision (PD) would have a significantly adverse impact on existing cogenerators and the second circulated draft suffered the same problems as the first draft. Bloom emphasized that NP-15 and SP-15 market prices need to be adjusted to account for the fact that the prices in these markets are deflated and do not reflect the utilities' avoided costs. Bloom explained that language in the PD should be corrected in respect of the retrospective application of a revised SRAC formula. Bloom also stated that the time of use factors for Pacific Gas and Electric Company and San Diego Gas and Electric Company need to be adjusted at the same time as the rest of the changes to the SRAC pricing methodology are adopted.

Foster, Senior Vice President of Southern California Edison Company (SCE) had a telephone conversation with Nancy Ryan, advisor to Pres. Peevey. Foster discussed the Revised Proposed Decision (PD) of ALJ Halligan on Future Policy and Pricing for Qualifying Facilities (QFs). Foster stated that the short run avoided cost (SRAC) methodology in the Revised PD may not be able to be implemented because it relies on using estimates of two-year forward transactions for power and gas to calculate a heat rate. In contrast, SCE's SRAC relies on transparent, market-based data that SCE uses to actually dispatch resource; therefore, SP-15 day-ahead prices represent SCE's true short-run avoided cost of energy. Foster explained that MRTU is scheduled for completion next year when SCE will petition the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to be relieved of the PURPA must-take obligation. Foster further explained that the 20 MW cap is consistent with FERC's recently adopted PURPA re Type: NOTICE Filing Date: July 27, 2007 Filed By: Pacific Gas and Electric Company Description: Under Ordering Paragraph 5 of Decision 06-11-006.
