Summary of Intervenors' Positions

Intervenors submitted testimony and reply testimony, provided cross-examination of witnesses at the evidentiary hearings to develop a full record, attended multiple workshops and in some cases organized and conducted working groups on designated subjects. Intervenors provide the "checks and balances" to the IOUs' LTPPs, providing the Commission with a level of scrutiny that is invaluable to its review, evaluation and analysis of the LTPPs. There is no way to effectively summarize the individual contributions of so many intervenors, but collectively they provided valuable insight from the perspective of competing stakeholder interests that facilitated the Commission's review of both the LTPPs and the Volume II issues of procurement policy.

Below is a brief summary of the Intervenors' positions as set forth in their post-hearing opening briefs and reply briefs. Sometimes the presentation in the briefs mirrors a position taken consistently throughout the proceeding, and other times it represents a final stance that has developed and adapted to the direction taken by the IOUs or other intervenors as the proceeding has advanced. For a full understanding of all the intervenors positions on all the issues raised in this proceeding, readers are encouraged to peruse all the filings and submissions.
