Order Instituting Rulemaking to promote policy and program coordination and integration in electric utility resource planning. |
Summary: On March 10, 2005, Jennifer Chamberlin, Market Manager, Regulatory Affairs, Strategic Energy, L.L.C., representing the Alliance for Retail Energy Markets (AReM), met with Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in San Francisco. Also present were David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Bill Chen, Director of Governmental Affairs, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc., and Sue Mara, Principal, RTO Advisors, APS Energy Services, Inc., on behalf of AReM. The AReM representatives discussed the draft decision (DD) of ALJ Wetzell modifying the Order Instituting Rulemaking to name electric service providers (ESPs) and community choice aggregators (CCAs) as respondents. AReM representatives stated that it would be filing comments recommending that the Commission reject the DD and administer resource adequacy requirements for ESPs through the existing ESP registration/licensing framework. AReM representatives stated that, in the event the Commission determines that ESPs and CCAs should be named as respondents, AReM recommends that the Commission open a separate, narrowly defined proceeding for that purpose. AReM representatives also stressed the need for protection of confidential data submitted by ESPs. AReM representatives discussed the Draft Second Interim Opinion Regarding Resource Adequacy, stating that an all-hours resource adequacy requirement is not needed. AReM also stated that it should be made clear that LSEs are not required to procure resources beyond what is needed to serve their loads plus 15 percent to 17 percent reserves. | |

Order Instituting Rulemaking to promote policy and program coordination and integration in electric utility resource planning. |
Summary: On March 11, 2005, Bruce C. Foster, vice president of regulatory operations of Southern California Edison Company (SCE), met with Brian Prusnek, advisor to Cmmr. Kennedy, in San Francisco. Foster discussed the Second Interim Opinion Regarding Resource Adequacy (DD). Foster stated that the DD had not considered the considerable cost involved in requiring load serving entities to acquire and maintain capacity at a level equal to or greater than 115 percent of the peak hour in each month. SCE stated that if an `all hours' requirement is to be adopted, it should be 115 percent to 117 percent of each hour in the month, and not the peak hour in the month. SCE reiterated its position that the DD has not justified a change from the peak resource adequacy requirement adopted in D04-10-035. | |

Summary: On March 16, 2005, Tim McCallion, President-Pacific Region, Verizon California Inc. (Verizon), met with Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. Also present were Lester Wong, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, and Michelle Robinson, Vice President-Regulatory of Verizon. Written material (attached to the notice) was used. McCallion and Robinson explained that it is in customers' interest for the Commission to modify the scope of Verizon's next audit, consistent with NRF, Public Utilities Code Section 314.5, and related Commission precedent, to minimize ratepayer expense. Further, McCallion and Robinson discussed how the scope of the audit, as defined in D02-10-020 and expanded in ORA's RFP, is overly broad, leading to greater costs and burdens that can and should be avoided by granting Verizon's petition to modify and motion to defer. | |
