OPINION
Summary
As provided in the Scoping Memo and Ruling of Assigned Commissioner and Administrative Law Judge, issued May 12, 1999, Southern California Edison Company (SCE) and other parties have filed briefs which argue whether and how SCE's application complies with the Electric Restructuring Preferred Policy Decision, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) orders, and Assembly Bill (AB) 1890.1 We have considered those arguments and conclude that SCE's application does not comply with our electric restructuring policy. We dismiss the application without prejudice.
1 The Preferred Policy Decision (D.) is D.95-12-063, as modified by D.96-01-009 (64 CPUC2d 1 and 64 CPUC2d 228, respectively). The relevant FERC orders are those where conditional operation of the Independent System Operation (ISO) and the Power Exchange (PX) were granted, EC96-19-001 and ER96-1663-001. Pacific Gas and Electric Company, 77 FERC ¶ 61, 204 (1996); Pacific Gas and Electric Company 77 FERC ¶ 61, 265 (1996). AB 1890 (California Statutes 1996, Chapter 854) is the legislation that provided the statutory basis for the electric restructuring policy that the Commission initiated.
