G. Emergency Petition to Modify D.01-06-087

On July 5, 2001 SDG&E filed an emergency petition to modify D. 01-06-087. This decision modified the Optional Binding Mandatory Curtailment (OBMC) program to allow circuit aggregation to uniformly apply the calculation of excess energy and determination of compliance for required load reductions, and to provide flexibility in the 10-day baseline measurement.

SDG&E seeks to modify the new requirement dealing with the days of exclusion used in determining the OBMC program 10-day baseline, as set forth in Section 2.4.3.of the OBMC program. SDG&E states that the new requirement will preclude two of its existing OBMC customers from continuing to participate in the program. Without the participation of these customers in the OBMC program, SDG&E states that it would lose 3.4 MW of load reduction during Stage 3 events.

On July 30, 2001, SDG&E filed a motion to withdraw its emergency motion on the basis that SDG&E and its OBMC program customers have subsequently determined they would not be impacted by the 10-day baseline changes.

We will grant SDG&E's motion to withdraw its emergency motion. SDG&E must comply with the 10-day baseline changes set forth in Ordering Paragraph 7 of D.01-06-087. Within five days of the effective date of this decision, SDG&E should file an advice letter to make any necessary tariff changes to comply with D.01-06-087.
