Summary: On December 11, Jan McFarland, consultant to the Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies and Regulatory Vice President of Emergent Energy Group, met with Cmmr. Wood in Sacramento. Also present were Manuel Ramirez, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, and Dr. Robert Barham, Assistant Chief of the Stationary Source Division, Michael Tollstrup, Chief of the Project Assessment Branch, and Dr. Alan Lloyd, Chairman, for the Air Resources Board. McFarland discussed how federal and state laws and policies on energy and air issues have often worked against each other and the need for a comprehensive approach to promote the cleanest and most efficient distributed generation. McFarland suggested that the Commission provide an exemption of the proposed settlement agreement's annual cap and also discounted exit fees based on performance that would include a reduced portion of the Department of Water Resources past costs along with public benefit and nuclear decommissioning charges. McFarland indicated that if the Commission chose to promote the ultra-clean and low-emission distributed generation technologies, then it would send a strong signal that air and energy issues are being addressed comprehensively and that there is a real market for the cleanest and most efficient distributed technologies in California. | |

Summary: LATE FILED. On December 12, 2002, William Stock, Chief of Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Laura Krannawitter, advisor to Cmmr. Duque, in San Francisco. Also present were Roy Kuga, Director, Gas and Electric Supply, and Bill Manheim, Attorney, for PG&E. PG&E representatives discussed how the Commission should adopt a maximum disallowance risk associated with the administration of the California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) contracts, and that the cap be equal to PG&E's incremental costs incurred to administer the CDWR contracts. PG&E representatives noted that the draft decision (DD) needed to be modified so that contractual issues, such as the creation of a limited agency relationship with CDWR, are agreed to in a separate operating agreement rather than including them in the Commission order. PG&E representatives also noted that the DD should be modified to ensure that CDWR indemnifies PG&E or, if CDWR does not indemnify PG&E, such costs should be recoverable in rates. | |
