Public Input Workshop - PY2001 LIEE Program Evaluation
March 26, 2003 |
PG&E's Pacific Energy Center |
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, Southern California Edison Company, and Southern California Gas Company are sponsoring a public workshop to obtain public comment on the draft final report for the PY2001 Low Income Energy Efficiency (LIEE) Program Evaluation. The evaluation entailed both a process and impact evaluation of the PY2001 program with emphasis on the Rapid Deployment efforts and measures. The draft final evaluation report includes two parts: the process evaluation report and the impact evaluation report and will be sent electronically to parties on the service list for R.01-08-027 and A.00-05-002, the newly created service list for the consolidated Annual Earnings Assessment Proceeding (AEAP), no later than March 19, 2003. The workshop presentation will highlight key results addressed in both parts of the draft final report, but since the preliminary study findings and the basic study approaches were discussed in detail at the public workshop held in August 2002, this workshop will be dedicated, primarily, to soliciting and obtaining public comment on the information contained in the written reports. Interested parties can offer comments at the March 26, 2003 workshop as well as submit written comments on the report through March 31, 2003 (send to

Summary: On March 14, 2003, Daniel Fessler representing Southwest Gas Corporation (Southwest), met with Peter Arth, advisor to Pres. Peevey, in San Francisco. Also present were Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, and Chris Hilen, representing Southwest. Fessler and Hilen discussed the increasing financial concerns Southwest has with the continuing delay in processing the utility's 2003 Test Year General Rate Case. Fessler and Hilen also discussed the need for expedited resolution of Southwest's motion for establishment of a memorandum account to provide for the recovery of the revenue shortfall. Finally, Fessler and Hilen stated that when the Commission adopts new rates for Southwest, it needs to set them prospectively at a level sufficient to recover Southwest's entire Test Year 2003 revenue requirement. | |

Order Instituting Rulemaking regarding the implementation of the suspension of direct access pursuant to Assembly Bill 1X and Decision |
Summary: On March 14, 2003, Brian Cragg, representing the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (Districts), had a telephone conversation with Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey. Cragg noted that the alternate of Cmmrs. Peevey and Kennedy was a step in the right direction. However, Cragg urged the Commission to consider expanding the exemption the alternate extended to clean and ultra-clean self-generation to include customer generation powered by other renewable energy sources. Cragg explained that the reasoning supporting the exemption for clean and ultra-clean self-generation also justified an exemption for renewable self-generation. | |

Conditional Application of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity Authorizing the Construction of the Los Banos-Gates 500 kV Transmission Project. |
Summary: On March 18, 2003, James Scarff, counsel for the Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA), met with Aaron Johnson, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, in San Francisco. Scarff commented on Cmmr. Lynch's alternate. Scarff stated that if the Commission needs to allow this project to go ahead, there is a better way to get there than the approach used in the alternate. Scarff stated that the rationale of saying that the Commission cannot predict what the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission might do in the future regarding market power mitigation measures is true for all transmission projects. Scarff stated that if that rationale is relied on by the Commission in this case, it will be cited by others as justification for virtually any proposed transmission line. Scarff noted that the Path 15 upgrades were unique, particularly with respect to the Western Area Power Administration's (WAPA) involvement in the project. Scarff explained that any Commission approval of the Path 15 upgrades that was based on WAPA's unique role in this project would not create the broad policy precedent that is inherent in the alternate. Scarff concluded by noting that ORA supports ALJ Gottstein's proposed decision (PD); that the PD correctly describes the economic benefits of the project, and is correct in finding that the costs of the project far outweigh the benefits. | |

Southern California Gas Company (U 904-G), Regarding Year Eight (2001-2002) of its Gas Cost Incentive Mechanism. |
Summary: On March 19, 2003, Lee Schavrien, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, Sempra Energy Utilities (Sempra), met on behalf of Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) with Trina Horner, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, and Laura Krannawitter, advisor to Cmmr. Kennedy, in two separate meetings in San Francisco. At the meeting with Laura Krannawitter also present was Lynne McGhee, advisor to Cmmr. Kennedy. Judy Peck, Regulatory Relations Manager of Sempra, participated in both meetings. Schavrien raised the issue of the revised scoping memo and ruling and explained that they are contrary to the Commission's previous determinations, and they unfairly treat SoCalGas in a different manner than the other utilities. Schavrien also explained that there is no need for the Commission to violate the SB 960 18-month time limit here, because any award could be made subject to refund. | |
