7. Motions

On March 21, 2008 TURN filed a Motion for Consolidation of Capital Recovery Issues. TURN was concerned that all acquisition and installation costs for the four peakers would be diffused in multiple different rate proceedings and TURN wanted them all consolidated for a single review. At the time TURN filed its motion, SCE was submitting capital forecasts in its 2009 General Rate Case (GRC), would be including some peaker costs in its 2009 Energy Resource Recovery Account and potentially would be filing a subsequent application for the costs of the fifth peaker when it is built. TURN felt that this piecemeal analysis of the peaker costs was not the best way to proceed and proposed that the Commission consolidate the review of all costs for the peakers into one proceeding. Due to the passage of time since the motion was filed and the fact that some issues are moot (the SCE 2009 GRC is before the Commission now), the motion is denied, without prejudice.
