Gas Accord II

Understanding how long the current Gas Accord proceeding and subsequent implementation took, and mindful of the need for parties, including PG&E, to have some certainty as to the future of the gas and energy markets, the Commission will also expedite the processing of the Gas Accord II proceeding. The Commission will ask the parties to participate in this proceeding with all due deliberate speed and focus, yet not at the expense of acquiring, reviewing, and deliberating the data that will enable the Commission to structure the gas market including a review of the open season in Gas Accord II.

PG&E is ordered to file its Gas Accord II application, if the application is not already on file, no later than July 20, 2001.
