1. Background

San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) filed Application (A.) 06-12-009, a general rate case (GRC) application, and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) filed A.06-12-010, also a GRC application. They are related companies with some shared services. This decision adopts for each company a Test Year 2008 revenue requirement, a mechanism for attrition adjustments until the next GRC, and performance and safety incentive mechanisms, which are reasonable and necessary to provide safe and reliable service to ratepayers.

The Test Year 2008 settlements adopted in this decision provide a gas and electric revenue requirement of $1.361 billion for SDG&E and a gas revenue requirement of $1.685 billion for SoCalGas.
