DECISION ADOPTING BRIDGE FUNDING
FOR 2009 ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS

1. Summary

This decision allows Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company and Southern California Gas Company, (collectively, the Utilities) to expend funds to continue certain 2008 energy efficiency programs until the Commission adopts a final decision on the Utilities' energy efficiency portfolio applications for 2009-2011. In addition, Southern California Edison is authorized to spend $27 million in pre-2006 unspent, uncommitted energy efficiency funds to prevent the closure of four energy efficiency programs that have exhausted their budgets and would be shut down before the end of 2008 without additional funding.
