Aglet's participation reduced attrition revenues provided to the applicant utilities. The settled increases average slightly more than 3.0% annually. The average of revenue requirement increase requested by SDG&E and SoCalGas for 2009, the first attrition year, was 3.9%. The two utilities requested total revenue increases of $649 million during 2009, 2010, and 2011. The comparable settled value is $566 million. The difference between the overall request and the overall settled amount is $83 million. In this proceeding, Aglet led settlement negotiations on behalf of Aglet and TURN, and was more actively involved in settlement negotiations than DRA. In some cases, the settled amounts are lower than DRA positions. The savings to ratepayers that was achieved by Aglet's participation will greatly exceed the compensation costs to be paid by SDG&E and SoCalGas customers.
