* D.08-12-038 authorized bridge funding for SCE's Participating Load Pilot at approximately $3.6 million. This funding covers the 2009- 2011 period and is intended to be augmented with funds left over from SCE's 2006-2008 DR program budget. SCE's spending to date on their Participating Load Pilot in 2009 should be subtracted from the $3.6 million designated in this decision.
** These programs will be reviewed and decided on through the EE 2009-2011 Program Portfolio Application, 08-07-021 as per the Assigned Commissioner and Administrative Law Judge Ruling on March 26, 2009.
*** Includes some funding for aggregator contracts in 2012.

*Approved in Bridge Funding Decision.
The budgets approved in this decision and reflected in these tables include the amounts previously approved for 2009 activities in the Bridge Funding decision, D.08-12-038. The Bridge Funding amounts for each program continuing through 2010 and 2011 are included in the total budget for that program. For programs to be discontinued after the adoption of this decision, the amounts previously approved for 2009 are enumerated in separate line items and included in the total authorized funding amounts for 2009-2011.
The approved budget for SCE is significantly larger than the approved budget for PG&E, despite the fact that these utilities are of relatively comparable size. There are two main reasons for this. First, SCE requests and receives funding for two aggregator contracts with a total funding of approximately $38,000,000 through 2012. Second, SCE requests (and receives) significantly higher budgets for Technical Assistance and Technology Incentives than either of the other utilities. These two budget categories account for most of the difference between the approved budgets of PG&E and SCE.
