COMMENTS

The draft resolution of the Energy Division in this matter was mailed to the parties in accordance with PU Code Section 311(g)(1). Comments were filed on June 20, 2000, by Aglet Consumer Alliance and PG&E.

The draft resolution allowed PG&E to establish an Electric Supply Cost Memorandum Account but denied PG&E to transfer amounts previously recorded in the TRA beginning January 1, 1999, pursuant to the Interim Relief Decision (D.98-12-078). In it's comments, PG&E states that

1. Allowing PG&E to transfer the Electric Supply Costs to ESCMA from January 1999 is consistent with the intent of the 1999 GRC Interim Relief Decision and the Final Decision.

2. Both the Interim Relief Decision and the Final GRC Decision provide PG&E with the opportunity to recover the electric supply costs incurred beginning January 1, 1999.

3. PG&E proposes seamless accounting transfers from the TRA to the ESCMA.

Aglet Consumer Alliance requests that we ensure that there is no prejudice regarding the disputed uncollectible factor.

We have considered Aglet's and PG&E's comments and have modified the text in response to them.
