4. Next Steps

Today's decision will affect our calculation of cost-effectiveness of the Utilities' portfolios, and the ability of the Utilities' portfolios to achieve annual and cumulative goals. The disposition of these eight policy issues may also impact the Utilities' recommendations for, and our analysis of, the mix of programs in their 2009-2011 portfolios. We will allow a supplemental filing by the Utilities to take into account this interim decision, and provide for comments by parties. The Utilities shall file a supplement to their March 2, 2009 amended testimony incorporating in the outcomes of today's decision. The assigned ALJ and/or assigned Commissioner will issue a Ruling spelling out the timing and requirements for this filing.
