5. Assignment of Proceeding

Dian M. Grueneich is the assigned Commissioner and Kimberly H. Kim is the assigned ALJ in this proceeding.

1. In D.08-11-031, the Commission adopted a methodology "for determining whether specific measures are cost-effective (taking into account the housing type as well as climate zone) and set forth an approach to screening all [LIEE] measures going forward."

2. In Attachment F of D.08-11-031, the SCE's Cost-Effectiveness Table incorrectly shows the results of the cost-effectiveness analysis under the adopted cost-effectiveness methodology and thus incorrectly shows the replacement central air conditioner measure in four particular instances as passing the cost-effectiveness tests in climate zone 13 when, in fact, the measure failed the tests in those instances.

3. The errors only appear on Attachment F and involve only the single family homes serviced electrically for 2011 in SCE's climate zone 13 and the mobile homes serviced electrically for 2009-2011 in SCE's climate zone 13.

4. These errors on Attachment F, and in particular SCE's Cost Effectiveness Table, are misleading because they suggest that the measure was approved in the LIEE program as being cost-effective in those instances when, in fact, the measure was not approved because the measure failed the tests.

1. Attachment F should be revised to correctly show the results of the cost-effectiveness analysis using the methodology adopted in D.08-11-031 that the replacement central air conditioner measure, in four particular instances, as discussed in this decision, failed to pass the tests in those instances in climate zone 13 of SCE's service territory.

2. This proceeding should remain open so that the Commission may continue to monitor the progress of pilots and conduct compliance reviews of the various reports D.08-11-031 requires from the four large IOUs.

ORDER

IT IS ORDERED that:

1. Attachment F to Decision (D.) 08-11-031 is corrected as specified below:

a. The Southern California Edison Company (SCE) Cost-Effectiveness Table is corrected to show that the replacement central air conditioner measure in four particular instances failed the cost-effectiveness tests, under D.08-11-031, in climate zone 13, as follows:

i. The replacement central air conditioner measure for electrically serviced mobile homes in climate zone 13 is corrected to read "Fail" for cycle years 2009, 2010, and 2011; and

ii. The replacement central air conditioner measure for electrically serviced single family homes in climate zone 13 is corrected to read "Fail" for cycle year 2011.

b. The Revised Attachment F attached hereto as Appendix 1 reflects the corrections adopted in this decision and supersedes Attachment F to D.08-11-031.

2. These proceedings remain open so that the Commission may continue to monitor the progress of pilots and conduct compliance reviews of the various reports required by Decision 08-11-031.

This order is effective today.

Dated November 20, 2009, at San Francisco, California.
