We award TURN $119,571.40. This calculation is based on the hourly rates and business expenses described above. Consistent with previous Commission decisions, we will order that, after November 5, 2003 (the 75th day after TURN filed its compensation request), interest be paid on TURN's award amount at the rate earned on prime, three-month commercial paper, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15. Interest will continue on this award until the utilities make full payment.
We remind TURN that, like all intervenors, Commission staff may audit TURN's records related to this award, and that intervenors must make and retain adequate accounting and other documentation to support all claims for intervenor compensation.
We direct all three larger electric utilities (PG&E, Edison, and SDG&E) to share in the payment proportionally, based on their percentage of total retail sales of electricity (measured in California jurisdictional revenues) in 2003, as TURN participated in the PRG of all three utilities.
