Summary: On January 8, 2003, Garith Krause, Assistant General Manager, Finance and Electric Services, Merced Irrigation District (Merced), met with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Pres.

Trowbridge summarized Merced's irrigation district departing load exit fee proposal. Krause explained that the power purchase and sales agreement between Merced and PG&E for the output from Merced's hydroelectric power generation facility will terminate in 2014 and described the steps Merced has taken to develop its electric services operations with the goal of maximizing the benefits of the facility for the eastern Merced County. Krause explained that Merced believes customers who received power from the California Department of Water Resources in 2001 have an obligation to pay for that power via a bond charge rate. Krause also stated Merced's belief that irrigation district departing load should pay Tail CTC in accordance with existing law and that such customers should not be subject to the Power Charge. Trowbrige noted relevant precedent concerning the alleged potential for exodus from investor-owned utilities to irrigation districts if a Power Charge is not assessed irrigation district departing load.

Summary: On January 14, 2003, Ruben Garcia, President of Telscape Communications, Inc. (Telscape), met with Pres. Peevey and Robert Wullenjohn, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, in two separate meetings in San Francisco. At the meeting with Cmmr. Peevey also present was Lester Wong, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey.

Written material (attached to the notice) was used. Telscape representatives indicated their support for the draft decision and noted that Telscape has been hindered in its efforts to serve customers in Verizon territory due to excessive UNE prices, particularly those for loops, which are even more critical to the success of competition over the long term than unbundled switching. Telscape representatives stated that Verizon and Pacific Bell operate contiguous exchanges in various densely populated areas and that there is no logical reason why Verizon's prices should be any higher in those areas than Pacific Bell's. Telscape urged that loop prices within former GTE territory be de-averaged, at the same time as new interim loop prices are adopted. Telscape representatives also stated that it is vital to competition that Verizon not be allowed to delay implementation of new nonrecurring prices.

Trowbridge explained that there is a need to consolidate consideration of distributed generation rate issues. Saville described the cost impact and uncertainty that the lack of coordination regarding distributed energy rate issues, combined with the as yet unresolved customer generation departing load exit fee issues, presents to companies like RealEnergy. Trowbridge provided some background regarding the work required by SBX1-28 to establish distributed energy resources tariffs, and explained that there have been significant delays, likely due to the numerous complex issues created by the energy crisis, in completing that work. Trowbridge and Saville described how the December 27, 2002 ruling on implementation of Public Utilities Code Section 253.13, would provide the Commission with time to complete that work, resulting in efficient development of distributed energy resources tariffs, and ensuring the goals of the legislature in adopting SBX1-28 are met.
