Summary: On June 12, 2000, Sara Steck Myers, attorney for the Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies (CEERT), met with Cmmr. Lynch in San Francisco. Also present were: Geoffrey Dryvynsyde, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch; Thomas Graff, Senior Attorney, Daniel Kirshner, economic analyst, and Nancy Ryan, consultant, for Environmental Defense (ED); and Richard Roos-Collins, attorney, and Stephen Wald, coordinator, for the California Hydropower Reform Coalition (CHRC). A copy of the additional prepared testimony (attached to the notice) of ED/CHRC/CEERT was used. Myers indicated that ED/CEERT/CHRC remain concerned that sufficient time be allotted for a record to be developed to determine the present environmental base line for the projects, future environmental impacts, and needed conditions to be applied to the auction or any other alternative to protect California's environment. Kirshner indicated that the parties had served their additional testimony on June 8, 2000 and that this testimony includes a recommended process for monetizing the environmental effects on any disposition of Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) hydroelectric generation assets. Referring to the auction and any alternatives thereto, Roos-Collins and Graff stressed the importance of public disclosure of all such alternatives prior to the close of hearings. Roos- Collins urged the Commission to proceed to the completion of a full environmental review of all alternatives, including the auction, proposed for the disposition of PG&E's hydroelectric generating assets.

Summary: On June 14, 2000, Steven Kelly, Policy Director for the Independent Energy Producers Association (IEP), met with Cmmr. Lynch in San Francisco. Also present were Geoff Dryvynsyde, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, and Diane Fellman of Energy Law Group, counsel for IEP. Kelly stated that a conditioned auction with divided ownership represented the best method for Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to divest its hydroelectric assets for ratepayer value, to mitigate market power concerns and to provide the greatest public benefits. Kelly and Fellman emphasized that the Commission is the authority to determine the future of PG&E's assets. IEP representatives further stated that the PG&E proposal to transfer the assets to its non-utility affiliate was not a middle ground between auction and retention.
