January 28, 2005 10 am

California Public Utilities Commission 505 Van Ness Avenue, Hearing Room A (Corner of Van Ness Avenue and McAllister Street) San Francisco

At the Pre-Hearing Conference held on January 14, 2005, the assigned Administrative Law Judge, ALJ McKenzie, directed that a workshop be held on January 28 to explore and resolve issues raised in protests to the utilities' applications. The issues include, but are not limited to: (1) the extent to which reliability may be impaired as a result of increasing load on utility systems in the summer of 2005, and possible means of mitigating those concerns; (2) whether the utilities' proposed incentives contribute to margin, or instead negatively impact other ratepayers; and (3) whether the increased capital costs and operation and maintenance costs associated with the proposals for additional line extension incentives will, in the future, have to be borne by other ratepayers. At the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to identify positions, respond to opposing proposals, and propose remedies or approaches to develop workable incentives with positive gains for the other ratepayers. To submit additional agenda items, other than those mentioned at the January 14 PHC or for further information, contact Kathryn Auriemma of the CPUC's Energy Division by email at kdw@cpuc.ca.gov or by phone at (415) 703-2072.

Order Instituting Rulemaking on policies and practices for advanced metering, demand response, and dynamic pricing.

Summary: On January 12, 2005, William Booth for California Manufacturers & Technology Association met with David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Pres. Peevey in two separate meetings in San Francisco. Julie Fitch, advisor to Pres. Peevey, participated in the meeting with Pres. Peevey. Also present was Keith McCrea for California Large Energy Consumers Association. Booth and McCrea discussed the assigned commissioner's ruling issued on December 8, 2004. Booth and McCrea expressed their concerns about the need for mandatory CPP programs for the upcoming summer and explained that many of the largest customers engaged in manufacturing and process industries were not in a position to shift load. Booth stated that any proposal to terminate the interruptible program would be detrimental to maintaining system reliability. McCrea emphasized that the largest customers over 500kW tended to have flatter loads and that demand response programs would be directed at customer classes which drive the peak.
