IX. Structure of Costs Comprising DA CRS

Although the Navigant and Henwood model differ with respect to various forecast assumptions and modeling conventions, they generally agree on the overall structure of the DA CRS. We shall, therefore, adopt the following elements for purposes of a DA CRS.

(1) Revenue shortfall for DWR costs incurred from January 17, 2001 up to September 20, 2001, the day before the suspension of DA became effective by Commission order in D.01-09-060. This shortfall has been financed on an interim basis with interim loans and General Fund advances, but will ultimately be covered by the sale of Bonds.32

(2) DWR costs incurred from September 2001 through December 31, 2002. Bundled customers are currently paying for these costs in DWR power charges. DA customers are not currently paying for their share of these costs.

(3) Prospective DWR costs for calendar year 2003.

(4) DWR costs for future years through the duration of long-term contracts entered into by DWR.

(5) Ongoing uneconomic utility-related costs paid pursuant to AB 1890.

32 The DWR bond charge revenue requirements are being implemented in A.00-11-038 et al. DWR power charges for 2003 are currently being determined in A.00-11-038 et al.
