Procedural History Phase 3

In its rehearing order, the Commission did not rely on Ex. 169 and adopt the revenue requirement as argued by SDG&E. Nor did it rely on Ex. 409 from the Edison rate case and affirm the estimate as adopted in D.04-12-015. Therefore, it is clear the Commission required SDG&E to make a sufficient showing on rehearing to justify a test year 2004 estimate of the SONGS revenue requirement upon which the Commission could then make sufficient findings and conclusions to adopt a reasonable test year estimate.

A prehearing conference was held on July 19, 2005, in San Diego, Ca., to allow parties an opportunity to be heard on the matter. SDG&E alone served a prehearing conference statement on July 15, 2005, as directed by a July 5, 2005 Ruling. On July 22, 2005, SDG&E served additional testimony in response to both the July 5, 2005, Ruling and the direction of the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) at the prehearing conference. No party requested a hearing and evidentiary hearings are not necessary in order to resolve the rehearing.
