Penetration Rates for CARE and ULTS Programs |
California Public Utilities Commission |
Pursuant to the January 14, 2002 Assigned Commissioner's Ruling (ACR), the Public Utilities Commission's Energy Division will hold a public workshop to discuss the penetration rates for the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) and the Universal Lifeline Telephone Service (ULTS) programs. On February 6, 2002, Energy Division held a public input workshop, but it was determined that an additional workshop was necessary to clarify issues that were brought up during the meeting. These issues include, but are not limited to, further discussion of the ULTS penetration rate methodology; how to compare the penetration rates for CARE and ULTS given the different methodologies; and how to determine a reasonable penetration goal across utilities.
If you cannot attend the workshop and would like to provide written or electronic comments that may be incorporated into the workshop discussions, those comments need to be received by 4 p.m. on February 21, 2002 and should be mailed to:

In compliance with the Commission's Decision (D.) 01-12-009 issued December 11, 2001 in the Underground Electric and Communication Facilities Rulemaking Proceeding
R.00-01-005, the California Public Utilities Commission's Energy Division posts and serves electronically this notice of a public workshop it will sponsor to facilitate input on the design of a standardized data reporting mechanism. The workshop will be hosted by SDG&E as shown above and allow participants to discuss and make recommendations on elements to be incorporated in the data collection and reporting system. The goal of the data tracking and standardized reporting is to allow the utilities, the Commission, and interested parties, to track the safety, service reliability, and lifetime cost for both overhead and underground projects and make valid and reliable comparisons between systems.
A data tabulation template drafted by the respondent electric utilities was attached to the electronically served notices mailed to the parties in this proceeding. The template will be the basis of discussion at the workshop.
Within ten days after the workshop, we invite parties to submit and serve a position statement, discussing why their proposed data collection and reporting system are important to future public policy on undergrounding.
Teleconference Information: Conference call capabilities will be provided by calling
1-800-966-6338; reference Margaret Moore, and followed by the pass code # 02060148. The meeting is wheelchair accessible. Participants attending the workshop via conference call are asked to put their phones on mute when they are not addressing the workshop participants in order to reduce background noise.

Order Instituting Rulemaking regarding the implementation of the suspension of direct access pursuant to Assembly Bill 1X and Decision |
Summary: On January 29, 2002, Leslie Katz, Regional Vice President of Sempra Energy, met with Steve Weissman, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, in San Francisco. Also present was Billy Blattner, CPUC Relations Administrator for Sempra Energy. Written materials (attached to the notice) were delivered electronically following the meeting. Katz explained that customers had made business decision based on existing laws and regulations and to change those conditions retroactively would have serious economic consequences and would be extremely difficult to implement. Katz explained that if a contract between parties contained the right to assign, that right must be preserved. Blattner added that according to the Public Utilities Code, Commission-ordered changes in tariffs are to be effective only prospectively. | |

Also present was Michel Florio, attorney for TURN. Written material (attached to the notice) was used. Freedman and Florio argued that the Commission should support the proposed decision suspending all direct access transactions initiated after June 30m 2001. Freedman and Florio stated that allowing post-July 2001 customers to remain on direct access would result in massive cost shifting that would raise rates for customers remaining with the utility. | |

Order Instituting Rulemaking regarding the implementation of the suspension of direct access pursuant to Assembly Bill 1X and Decision |
Summary: On February 5, 2002, Lisa Urick, Counsel to the City of Corona (Corona), participated in a conference call to David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown. Also participated Glenn Prentice, Director of Utilities, George Hanson, Power Utilities Manager, for Corona, and Rick Gittings, City Manager, Karl Schwarm, Administrative Analyst, and Susie Berlin, Counsel, for the City of San Marcos. Corona representatives explained that retroactive suspension would wipe out Corona's investments in the program. Corona representatives stated that appropriate exit fees can be adopted, as necessary, to address the draft decision's (DD) policy concern of cost shifting. Prentice emphasized that Corona is facing a grave risk of losing businesses located in the City due to high electricity rates. Hanson stated that Corona's overriding concern is to eliminate the retroactive suspension aspect of the DD. Hanson indicated that, ideally, Corona would like to continue adding facilities under its direct access program. | |

Summary: LATE FILED. On February 4, 2002, Art Gallucci, City Manager of the City of Cerritos (City), met with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Cmmr. Wood in two separate meetings in San Francisco. In the meeting with Cmmr. Wood also participated Linda Serizawa and Steven Weissman, advisors to Cmmr. Wood. Also present was Scott Blaising, special counsel for the City. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. Gallucci explained that the draft decision would eliminate the possibility of the City using direct access to deliver energy from the proposed Magnolia Power Project to the City's residents and businesses. Gallucci indicated that a decision disallowing pre-existing arrangements, such as Cerritos' community aggregation program, could potentially delay or suspend development of the Magnolia Power Project. | |
