DECISION GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING
THE REMAINDER OF THE COMPLAINT
1. Summary
Complainant Peter Solomon, dba Regency Homes, alleges that Southern California Edison Company (SCE) has failed to remit refunds of refundable monies advanced to SCE for Distribution Line Extension construction costs in violation of executed Contracts for Extension of Electric Distribution (Rule 15 Contracts).
We find that SCE is not obligated to refund advances made by Solomon under Rule 15 or the Rule 15 Contracts at issue, with one exception. SCE paid refunds while this case was pending. However, SCE failed to timely issue the refund within 90 days of the date of first service to a commercial pump to operate the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) well in violation of Rule 15. We order SCE to pay interest on the refund beginning 90 days after SCE initiated service to the CVWD well. The remainder of the complaint is denied, and the proceeding is closed.
