Pacific Gas and Electric Company, for authority, among other things, to increase rates and charges for electric and gas service effective on January 1, 2001, and on January 2, 2002. |
Summary: On November 28, 2000, Les Guliasi, Director, Regulatory Relations, Pacific Gas and Electric Company ("PG&E"), met with Cmmr. Wood in San Francisco. Also present were Maryam Ebke, advisor to Cmmr. Wood; Patrick Gileau, Ramesh Ramchandani, and Martin Lyons, Office of the Ratepayer Advocates; Rosalina White of Public Advisor's Office; William Edwards, Attorney, and Bruce Bowen, Director, Regulatory Analysis, PG&E; James Weil, representing Aglet and The Utility Reform Network; Joe Como, City and County of San Francisco; and Mike Hoover and John Hughes, Southern California Edison Company. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. Guliasi stated that PG&E supports the draft decision of ALJ Barnett and that PG&E is seeking clarification on how the capital audit and the Vegetation Management Balancing Account ("VMBA") issues are to be dealt with in the context of the attrition proceeding. Edwards pointed out that the delay in Energy Division's financial and engineering audit reports makes it difficult to deal with the results of those audits in the schedule of the attrition proceeding. Edwards stated that PG&E would like the capital audit results litigated once in only one proceeding and if the audits are delayed, it may make sense to consider the results of the capital audit in PG&E's 2002 General Rate Case. Edwards also asked for clarification regarding how the Commission intends to handle the VMBA in a manner consistent with D.00-02-046, PG&E's 1999 general rate case decision, in light of the recent Assigned Cmmr.'s Ruling, which asks PG&E to withdraw Advice Letter 2016-E. Edwards explained that withdrawing Advice Letter 2016-E would result in an inconsistency in PG&E's tariffs and violate a Commission directive. | |
