3. Utilities' LIEE Earnings Claims in This Proceeding
Table 1 presents the LIEE earnings claims submitted by the utilities in their 2000, 2001 and 2002 AEAP applications.13 They encompass the utilities' second-year claims for PY1998 program activities, first and second-year claims for PY1999 and PY2000 program activities and first year claims for PY2001 program activities. The total request for LIEE earnings, by utility, is summarized below:
LIEE Earnings Claims, 2000, 2001 and 2002 AEAPs:
PG&E: $1,653,890
SCE: 995,896
SDG&E: 318,000
SoCal: 746,000
Total: $3,713,786
Attachment 2 presents the corresponding E-tables and other tables presented by the utilities to calculate these claims.14 As indicated in Table 1 and Attachment 2, PG&E does not claim any earnings for PY2001 program activities because it did not meet the MPS established for that program year.
13 The figures in Table 1 do not include franchise fees and uncollectibles (FF&U) or interest. Attachment 2 (summary table) presents the most current estimates of FF&U and interest associated with the utilities' earnings claims. However, the assigned ALJ has requested verification of these numbers from the utilities, which has not been received to date. Updated FF&U and interest numbers will be presented in the final decision, and reflected in the authorized funding for LIEE earnings claims. 14 E-tables refer to the reporting requirements, as adopted in our Measurement and Evaluation protocols, for utilities to use when they file an application for authorization to recover DSM earnings. They show the cost and benefit elements used to calculate shareholder earnings for each earnings claim on an aggregated and program-specific basis.
