1. Summary

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) filed a motion requesting an order allowing the proposed Gas Accord V Settlement revenue requirements and rates to go into effect on January 1, 2011, or in the alternative, to make the revenue requirements resulting from a subsequent final decision in this proceeding effective as of January 1, 2011.

Today's decision grants the alternative request of PG&E to make the revenue requirements (and related elements) resulting from a subsequent final decision, which will address the motion to adopt the Gas Accord V Settlement and the contested issues which were litigated in this proceeding, to become effective as of January 1, 2011.
