Assignment of Proceeding

Geoffrey Brown is the Assigned Commissioner and Douglas M. Long is the assigned ALJ in this proceeding.

Findings of Fact

1. The Commission did not adopt a specific ratemaking forecast for the SONGS costs billed by Edison to SDG&E in D.04-07-022, the Edison general rate case where the forecast was litigated. SDG&E's Ex. 169 does not persuasively demonstrate the correct forecast for SDG&E's share of SONGS costs.

2. D.04-12-015, which adopted SDG&E's test year 2004 revenue requirement, omitted an allowance for Results Sharing costs in the SONGS costs billed by Edison to SDG&E. After correcting SDG&E's forecast for the adjustment made to Edison's forecast in D.04-07-022, the correct forecast is $2.179 million that should have been included in test year revenue requirements.

3. D.04-12-015 omitted an allowance for PBOPs costs in the SONGS costs billed by Edison to SDG&E. The correct forecast is $0.683 million that should have been included in test year revenue requirements.

4. D.04-12-015 omitted an allowance for Contractual Overheads in the SONGS costs billed by Edison to SDG&E. The correct forecast is $2.538 million that should have been included in test year revenue requirements.

5. The attrition year revenue requirement for 2005 should be adjusted to reflect the shortfall as a result of the stated omissions in the test year 2004 revenue requirement.

Conclusions of Law

1. Exs. 261, 408 and 414, from A.02-05-004, can be received in evidence by reference pursuant to Rule 72.

2. SDG&E met its burden to prove, with clear and convincing evidence, that the allowance for Results Sharing costs in the SONGS costs billed by Edison to SDG&E was omitted from D.04-12-015.

3. SDG&E met its burden to prove, with clear and convincing evidence, an allowance for PBOPs costs in the SONGS costs billed by Edison to SDG&E was omitted from D,04-12-015.

4. SDG&E met its burden to prove, with clear and convincing evidence, that an allowance for Contractual Overheads costs in the SONGS costs billed by Edison to SDG&E was omitted from D.04-12-015.

5. SDG&E failed to meet its burden to produce clear and convincing evidence that there were any other omissions in D.04-12-015 that should be rectified on rehearing.
