Generally, we issue draft decisions for comment and review pursuant to Section 311(g)(1), which requires that the draft decision be subject to at least 30 days of public review and comment prior to Commission action. However, pursuant to Section 311(g)(3) and Rule 77.7(f)(9) the Commission may waive the 30-day period if required by public necessity. In this case, we find that public necessity requires that we promptly act on the effective date of suspension of direct access, as well as issues associated with implementing such suspension. We therefore reduce the 30-day period for public review and comment. Comments shall be filed and served by February 1, 2002. Parties should ensure that the ALJ is served by electronic mail at rab@cpuc.ca.gov.
Findings of Fact14
1. DWR has submitted to us, pursuant to its authority under Water Code § 80110, a revenue requirement of $10.003 billion for the three major California utilities, covering the period January 2001 through December 2002.
2. Timely implementation of DWR's revenue requirement cost recovery is necessary to support the sale of bonds as prescribed under California Water Code § 80130.
3. Up until the present time, DWR has been relying on interim borrowings as its funding source pending the sale of bonds, currently expected to occur in the second quarter of 2002.
4. DWR's revenue requirement represents the amounts to be collected from customers in the service territories of the three major electric utilities covering the 2001-2002 time period, after deducting the proceeds from interim loans.
5. Pursuant to a FERC Order issued on November 7, 2001, the ISO sent $956 million in invoices to DWR for transactions with third party power suppliers for the period January 17 through July 31, 2001.
6. The sales that DWR has presented in its revenue requirement model for purposes of computing charges for remittance purposes do not include sales to direct access customers.
7. DWR's contracts have served to stabilize the power market, to the benefit of all California ratepayers.
8. The DWR cents per kWh charges are computed by dividing the allocated DWR revenue requirement assigned to each utility's service territory by the applicable kWh sales to the utility's bundled customers provided by DWR.
9. Between July 1, 2001 and September 20, 2001, approximately 11% of the total electric load of the utilities has shifted from bundled service to direct access service. This shift means that 11% of $18 billion ($1.98 billion) will become the obligation of the remaining bundled customers of the utilities should direct access suspension remain September 20. This result puts bundled customers at a disadvantage and is unfair, unreasonable, and violates Water Code §§ 80002.5 and 80104.
10. By the second quarter of 2001, the direct access load in SCE's service territory had dropped to less than 1% of SCE's load from a high of 14.8% in December 1999. In June 2001, the direct access load was 1%; by July 31, it reached 3.1%; by October it reached 11.6%.
11. In December 2000, PG&E's direct access load was 11.3% of its total load. In the period January 2001 to June 2001, the direct access load was reduced to 1.3% of total load. By October 2001 direct access load had reached 12% of total load and is expected to go as high as 16% when all pending DASRs are processed.
12. As of November 2001, 50% of SDG&E's largest customers take direct access service, accounting for 19.4% of its total load.
13. DWR has based its revenue requirement forecast on its estimate that 11% of total load has left bundled service since July 1, 2001. The UDCs have made a similar estimate. These estimates are reasonable and are adopted.
14. The cost shift of fixed overheads is $187,000,000 over two years ($1.7 billion x .11 = $187 million). This $187 million does not include the avoided responsibility for the excess costs portion of $5.2 billion in DWR contracts.
15. There are out-of-pocket costs, which have been incurred by DWR for electricity purchases since January 17, 2001, which have yet to be reflected on customers' bills. This uncollected amount is currently estimated to be approximately $8.5 billion. (This is expected to be financed through the issuance of DWR's revenue bonds.) Should 11% of customer load leave the system through direct access, the uncollected amount must be borne by the 89% of customer load remaining; an incremental $935 million (i.e., 11% of the $8.5 billion currently uncollected), as well as associated financing costs.
16. Direct access customers benefited when DWR entered into long-term contracts: the spot price of electricity came down below DWR contract prices, making ESP contracts attractive, and a safety net of a return to UDC service was provided should spot prices again run wild.
17. We choose July 1 because the showing in this proceeding is that 11% of electric load has shifted from the UDC retail load to direct access load during the period July 1 through September 20, resulting in an immediate cost shift of over $187 million dollars to be recovered from the remaining retail end use customers. This cost shift does not include the anticipated cost shift of $935 million that will occur when DWR issues $8.5 billion in bonds, to be repaid by bundled customers.
18. To permit the September 20 date to stand is unfair to all bundled customers. It permits a fortuitous group of customers to benefit and at the same time avoid the cost of that benefaction.
19. The highlighted sections under "Implementation of the Suspension of Direct Access" are reasonable and adopted.
1. Direct access contracts executed after June 30, 2001, are suspended until DWR no longer supplies power under AB1X, Stats. 2001 (1st Extraordinary Session), ch. 4 (Water Code §§ 80000 et seq.).
2. Direct access contracts executed prior to July 1, 2001, pursuant to which electricity flowed prior to July 1, 2001, are not suspended, but are subject to the implementation restrictions imposed by this decision, until DWR no longer supplies power under AB1X, Stats. 2001 (1st Extraordinary Session), ch. 4 (Water Code §§ 80000 et seq.)
3. The action that we take today in regard to direct access follows the same statutory scheme enacted in response to emergency conditions confronting California's major electric utilities and their customers.
4. For the purposes of this decision we are concerned (as was the Legislature) with the shift in costs as direct access customers leave the system.
5. Given the changes in various draft decisions, the specific reservation of authority to change the suspension date, the prior decisions of the Commission reserving the right to modify the terms and conditions of direct access, electric customers were on notice that they could not rely on a permanent September 20 suspension date.
6. To comply with legislative intent, to fulfill the purpose of the applicable statutes, to form the broadest base upon which to build the repayment structure required to meet the DWR revenue requirement, to prevent a significant cost shift of over $187 million dollars between now and December 31, 2002, and to assure that charges are just and reasonable, we modify the date of suspension of direct access from September 20, 2001; direct access is suspended as of July 1, 2001.
7. AB1X provided for the Commission to suspend direct access in recognition of the fact that DWR would be entering into long-term contracts and that bundled customers must pay the bill.
8. In regard to the issue of modification of the suspension date of direct access, D.97-10-087 is specific and clear. It holds that the Commission has exclusive jurisdiction to resolve interpretations of, modification of, or compliance with any of the direct access tariff provisions or the ESP-UDC service agreement.
9. In regard to direct access D.97-10-087 provided that the ESP was subject to the UDCs tariffs and our jurisdiction.
10. Direct access is authorized by statute, implemented by Commission decisions, and binds ESPs and UDC customers alike through Commission approved terms and UDC tariffs, both of which specifically provide for modification by the Commission.
11. To permit direct access customers to avoid payment of the DWR revenue requirement is unreasonable and discriminatory.
12. The reservation in D.01-09-060 of the Commission's intent to consider reverting the suspension to a date earlier than September 20, with July 1 being the likely date, was clear to all parties.
13. Our purpose in choosing a suspension date is to obey the legislative direction and fix the time at which direct access and the direct access provisions of contracts are suspended "until the department no longer supplies power hereunder." (Water Code § 80110.)
14. The implementation provisions we set forth in this decision are reasonable, consistent with our action in suspending direct access as of July 1, 2001, and protect bundled customers
15. This decision is made effective today to allow the suspension provisions to be implemented expeditiously. Thus, it is reasonable to reduce the period for comment and review of the draft decision, pursuant to Rule 77.7(f)(9).
IT IS ORDERED that:
1. This order shall apply to Southern California Edison Company (SCE). Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), and San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E).
2. The execution of any new contracts, or the entering into, or the verification of any new arrangements for direct access service pursuant to Public Utilities Code Sections 366 or 366.5, after June 30, 2001, is prohibited.
3. SCE, PG&E, and SDG&E shall implement the conditions set forth in this decision which affect those direct access contracts not suspended.
4. SCE, PG&E, and SDG&E shall not accept any direct access service requests for any contracts executed or agreements entered into after June 30, 2001.
5. SCE, PG&E, and SDG&E shall notify their customers that the right of retail end users to acquire direct access service from other providers, except the Department of Water Resources, is suspended effective July 1, 2001.
6. SCE, PG&E, and SDG&E shall modify any information disseminated to customers that describes direct access service, subject to review by the Public Advisor's office and Energy Division, to explain that the right to acquire direct access service has been suspended.
7. Within 14 days of the effective date of this order, SCE, PG&E, and SDG&E by letter, shall inform the Director of the Energy Division of the steps they have taken to ensure that no direct access service requests are accepted for any contracts executed or agreements entered into after June 30, 2001.
8. SCE, PG&E, and SDG&E shall within 90 days after the effective date of this order, terminate all direct access contracts not in conformity with this order.
9. This Rulemaking is closed.
This order is effective today.

(Page 1)
Water Code Sections
80000. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the
following:
(a) The furnishing of reliable reasonably priced electric service
is essential for the safety, health, and well-being of the people of
California. A number of factors have resulted in a rapid, unforeseen
shortage of electric power and energy available in the state and
rapid and substantial increases in wholesale energy costs and retail
energy rates, with statewide impact, to such a degree that it
constitutes an immediate peril to the health, safety, life and
property of the inhabitants of the state, and the public interest,
welfare, convenience and necessity require the state to participate
in markets for the purchase and sale of power and energy.
(b) In order for the department to adequately and expeditiously
undertake and administer the critical responsibilities established in
this division, it must be able to obtain, in a timely manner,
additional and sufficient personnel with the requisite expertise and
experience in energy marketing, energy scheduling, and accounting.
80002.5. It is the intent of the Legislature that power acquired by
the department under this division shall be sold to all retail end
use customers being served by electrical corporations, and may be
sold, to the extent practicable, as determined by the department, to
those local publicly owned electric utilities requesting such power.
Power sold by the department to retail end use customers shall be
allocated pro rata among all classes of customers to the extent
practicable.
80104. Upon the delivery of power to them, the retail end use
customers shall be deemed to have purchased that power from the
department. Payment for any sale shall be a direct obligation of the
retail end use customer to the department.
80108. The commission may issue rules regulating the enforcement of
the agency function pursuant this division, including collection and
payment to the department.
Appendix B
(Page 2)
80110. The department shall retain title to all power sold by it to
the retail end use customers. The department shall be entitled to
recover, as a revenue requirement, amounts and at the times necessary
to enable it to comply with Section 80134, and shall advise the
commission as the department determines to be appropriate. Such
revenue requirements may also include any advances made to the
department hereunder or hereafter for purposes of this division, or
from the Department of Water Resources Electric Power Fund, and
General Fund moneys expended by the department pursuant to the
Governor's Emergency Proclamation dated January 17, 2001. For
purposes of this division and except as otherwise provided in this
section, the Public Utility Commission's authority as set forth in
Section 451 of the Public Utilities Code shall apply, except any just
and reasonable review under Section 451 shall be conducted and
determined by the department. The commission may enter into an
agreement with the department with respect to charges under Section
451 for purposes of this division, and that agreement shall have the
force and effect of a financing order adopted in accordance with
Article 5.5 (commencing with Section 840) of Chapter 4 of Part 1 of
Division 1 of the Public Utilities Code, as determined by the
commission. In no case shall the commission increase the electricity
charges in effect on the date that the act that adds this section
becomes effective for residential customers for existing baseline
quantities or usage by those customers of up to 130 percent of
existing baseline quantities, until such time as the department has
recovered the costs of power it has procured for the electrical
corporation's retail end use customers as provided in this division.
After the passage of such period of time after the effective date of
this section as shall be determined by the commission, the right of
retail end use customers pursuant to Article 6 (commencing with
Section 360) of Chapter 2.3 of Part 1 of Division 1 of the Public
Utilities Code to acquire service from other providers shall be
suspended until the department no longer supplies power hereunder.
The department shall have the same rights with respect to the payment
by retail end use customers for power sold by the department as do
providers of power to such customers.
Appendix B
(Page 3)
80130. The department may incur indebtedness and issue bonds as
evidence thereof, provided that bonds may not be issued in an amount
the debt service on which, to the extent payable from the fund, is
estimated by the department to exceed the amounts estimated to be
available in the fund for their payment. The department may
authorize the issuance of bonds (excluding notes issued in
anticipation of the issuance of bonds and retired from the proceeds
of those bonds) in an aggregate amount up to the greater of thirteen
billion four hundred twenty-three million dollars ($13,423,000,000)
or the amount calculated by multiplying by a factor of four the
annual revenues generated by the California Procurement Adjustment,
as determined by the commission pursuant to Section 360.5 of the
Public Utilities Code; provided, such aggregate amount shall not
exceed thirteen billion four hundred twenty-three million dollars
($13,423,000,000). Nothing in this section shall prohibit the
department from issuing bonds prior to the effective date of this
bill based upon the authorization granted to the department by the
provisions of Chapter 4 of the Statutes of 2001-02 First
Extraordinary Session. Refunding of bonds to obtain a lower interest
rate shall not be included in the calculation of the aggregate
amount. In addition, before the issuance of bonds in a public
offering, the department shall establish a mechanism to ensure that
the bonds will be sold at investment grade ratings and repaid on a
timely basis from pledged revenues. This mechanism may include, but
is not limited to, an agreement between the department and the
commission as described in Section 80110.
Appendix B
(Page 4)
80134. (a) The department shall, and in any obligation entered into
pursuant to this division may covenant to, at least annually, and
more frequently as required, establish and revise revenue
requirements sufficient, together with any moneys on deposit in the
fund, to provide all of the following:
(1) The amounts necessary to pay the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on all bonds as and when the same shall become due.
(2) The amounts necessary to pay for power purchased by it and to
deliver it to purchasers, including the cost of electric power and
transmission, scheduling, and other related expenses incurred by the
department, or to make payments under any other contracts,
agreements, or obligations entered into by it pursuant hereto, in the
amounts and at the times the same shall become due.
(3) Reserves in such amount as may be determined by the department
from time to time to be necessary or desirable.
(4) The pooled money investment rate on funds advanced for
electric power purchases prior to the receipt of payment for those
purchases by the purchasing entity.
(5) Repayment to the General Fund of appropriations made to the
fund pursuant hereto or hereafter for purposes of this division,
appropriations made to the Department of Water Resources Electric
Power Fund, and General Fund moneys expended by the department
pursuant to the Governor's Emergency Proclamation dated January 17,
2001.
(6) The administrative costs of the department incurred in
administering this division.
(b) The department shall notify the commission of its revenue
requirement pursuant to Section 80110.
