VIII. Award

As set forth in the table above, we award $76,180.90.

Consistent with previous Commission decisions, we order that interest be paid on the award amount (at the rate earned on prime, three-month commercial paper, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15) commencing on January 4, 2006, the 75^th day after UCAN filed its compensation request, and continuing until full payment of the award is made.

The compensation UCAN seeks is directly related only to SDG&E's 2006-2008 energy efficiency portfolio plans, and not those of the other major energy utilities. Therefore, we direct SDG&E to pay the full award.

We remind UCAN, like all intervenors, that Commission staff may audit UCAN'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.
