Comments on Proposed Decision

The proposed decision of Commissioner Peevey in this matter was mailed to the parties in accordance with Pub. Util. Code § 311 and Rule 14.3 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. Comments were filed by LGSEC, PG&E, and jointly by SCE and SDG&E. Reply comments were filed by LGSEC and the Solar Alliance.

SCE, SDG&E, and PG&E ask for minor clarifications to the language in the order, mainly to emphasize that CCA customers will not be credited for excess generation above and beyond their annual electric consumption and to ensure the ordering paragraphs provide clear direction to the utilities. PG&E requests the Commission clarify that REC ownership will be handled consistently for bundled and CCA customers in accordance with D.07-01-018. We have made minor changes to the order to reflect these points.

In addition, the joint comments of SCE and SDG&E object to the proposed decision's conclusion that any increased billing costs related to CCA NEM service shall be handled in each utility's next general rate case. The comments merely reargue earlier positions and the order is not revised on this point.
