PUBLIC MEETING & WORKSHOPS
Underground Workshop Notice (PLEASE NOTE: NEW DATE!)
March 13, 2002 |
Sempra Energy Headquarters |
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 is attached to this notice. 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.

Summary: On January 30, 2002, Bruce Foster of Southern California Edison Company (Edison) participated in an all-party meeting with Cmmrs. Brown and Lynch in San Francisco. Also present were David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, Robert Kinosian, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, and Michael Hoover and Anthony Smith, of Edison. Foster stated that it is crucial that Edison's return on equity not be reduced below 11.6%. Foster explained that Incremental Cost Incentive Pricing ratemaking for SONGS must be preserved. Smith argued that the proposed decision (PD) misstates the Aglet Consumer Alliance (Aglet) proposal with respect to income taxes subjecting both ratepayers and utilities to substantial cost. Smith noted that while Edison objects to Aglet's proposal as a deviation from Commission policy, Aglet's proposal would not violate tax normalization requirements. Smith stated that Edison urges the Commission to change the PD to conform to Aglet's proposal and to defer any decision concerning the refund of any net present value resulting from transaction balancing account undercollections to the general rate case proceeding. | |

Summary: On January 30, 2002, Bill Stock, Chief of Regulatory Relations of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), participated in an all-party meeting with Cmmr. Brown in San Francisco. Also present were David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, Les Guliasi, Director of Regulatory Relations, and Mark Huffman and Christopher Warner, Attorneys, for PG&E, as well as other parties listed on the sign-in sheet attached to the notice. Huffman noted that for PG&E there is no possibility of any tax ratemaking issues until the Commission authorizes PG&E to recover its currently unrecovered electric power purchase costs. Huffman argued that the PD should be modified to not use recorded costs; instead the Commission should adopt the forecasted costs already presented by the utilities. Huffman also noted that the PD is not clear on how procurement will be handled and suggested that the Commission should defer significant action on procurement until the conclusion of the Procurement Order Instituting Investigation. Huffman also stated that while PG&E agrees with the PD's conclusion that it would not be possible to conduct a review of plant Operation and Maintenance (O&M) activities, this conclusion should not be used to disallow some of PG&E's incurred O&M costs. Huffman also noted that there are errors in a number of the values used in the PD, as well as omissions of significant issues. Warner addressed incentive ratemaking for the at Diablo Canyon Power Plant by outlining how that ratemaking has resulted in the plant operation at a very high capacity factor. Referring to an adjustment to PG&E's rate of return, Huffman stated that this issue should be fully litigated in the next cost of capital proceedings. | |
