Commission Order Instituting Investigation on its proposed policies governing restructuring California's electric services industry and reforming regulation.

Summary: LATE FILED. On August 2, 2000, Steve Linsey, Supervisor, Office of Ratepayer Advocates, met with Kerry Hattevik, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, in San Francisco. Linsey opposed modifications using summer peak average production in the baseline formula used to determine the basis for compensation to qualified facilities (QFs) that deliver additional energy. Linsey indicated that the modifications would result in a windfall to QFs and failed to strike an appropriate balance between providing incentives to QFs and assuring that only additional energy deliveries are paid for.
