10. Assignment of Proceeding
Michael R. Peevey is the assigned Commissioner, and Burton W. Mattson is the assigned ALJ in this proceeding.
1. Sustainable Conservation has satisfied all the procedural requirements necessary to claim compensation in this proceeding. Sustainable Conservation made a substantial contribution to Resolution E-4137 and D.08-02-010 as described above and adjusted herein.
2. Sustainable Conservation requested hourly rates for its representatives that are reasonable when compared to the market rates for persons with similar training and experience.
3. The amount of this award has been reduced for duplication with other parties and for failure to make a substantial contribution on some issues in Resolution E-4137.
4. The total of the reasonable compensation is $11,680.56.
5. The Appendix to this decision summarizes today's award.
1. Sustainable Conservation has fulfilled the requirements of §§ 1801-1812, which govern awards of intervenor compensation, and is entitled to intervenor compensation for its claimed expenses, as adjusted herein, incurred in making substantial contributions to Resolution E-4137 and D.08-02-010.
2. Sustainable Conservation should be awarded $11,680.56 for its contribution to Resolution E-4137 and D.08-02-010.
3. This order should be effective today so that Sustainable Conservation may be compensated without further delay.
IT IS ORDERED that:
1. Sustainable Conservation is awarded $11,680.56 for its contribution to Resolution E-4137 and Decision (D.) 08-02-010.
2. Within 30 days of the effective date of this decision, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, and Southern California Edison Company shall pay Sustainable Conservation their respective shares of the award. We direct the three utilities to allocate payment responsibility among them, based on their California-jurisdictional electric revenues for the 2007 calendar year, to reflect the year in which the proceeding was primarily litigated. Payment of the award shall include interest at the rate earned on prime, three-month commercial paper as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15, beginning December 29, 2008, the 75th day after the filing date of Sustainable Conservation's request for compensation, and continuing until full payment is made.
This order is effective today.
Dated December 17, 2009, at San Francisco, California.
