28. Modification of Reporting Requirements

The scoping memo in this proceeding required SCE, SDG&E, and PG&E to file their previously defined monthly reports on interruptible load and demand response in this consolidated proceeding. These reports contain a variety of information relevant to the understanding and evaluation of the utilities' demand response activities, and are valuable to the Commission and parties because they allow tracking of changes in program participation. For this reason, we require the utilities to continue preparing these monthly reports.

In order to ensure that the information provided in these reports remains useful, however, we require the utilities to work with Energy Division staff to revise the format and content of the existing report. Starting with the year-end report for 2009, and continuing at least through the end of the current budget period, all three utilities will use a consistent monthly report format approved by Energy Division staff. The new reporting format will include the information currently required in these reports, along with some additional information, including (but not necessarily limited to) the following:

· The total number of customers eligible for each program, by customer class. This will provide some context for understanding programs' overall potential.

· For programs that allow customers to choose among different notification times, all participation, load impact, and other data will be reported separately for each combination of trigger options and notification times.

After the adoption of this decision, however, it will no longer be necessary for the utilities to file their monthly reports in what will be a closed docket. Instead, we require the utilities to serve their monthly reports on the director of the Commission's Energy Division, and to provide copies to the most recent service list in this proceeding. In addition, the utilities shall post their monthly reports on a publicly available web site.
