Summary: On June 12, 2000, Daniel Richard, Senior Vice President, Public Affairs, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Cmmr. Lynch, in San Francisco. Also present were: Kim Malcolm and Geoff Dryvynsyde, advisors to Cmmr. Lynch; and Leslie Everett, Vice President, Generation Divestiture, Roger Peters, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, and Thomas Bottorff, Vice President, Customer Services, for PG&E. Richard stated that PG&E remains committed to auctioning the hydroelectric assets. Richard reiterated that PG&E would not retain the hydroelectric assets in the regulated distribution utility. Richard explained that a possible middle ground between auctioning the hydroelectric facilities and retaining them in the distribution utility could be to allow the facilities to be transferred to a non-utility affiliate of PG&E. Richard noted that that entity could hold and operate the assets, subject to a revenue sharing contract between the affiliated and the utility. Peters explained how any settlement, which might be developed around this framework, would provide the Commission the ability to develop a full record from which it could assess whether such a settlement should be adopted.

Summary: On June 12, 2000, Marc Joseph, attorney for the Coalition of California Utility Employees (CUE), met with Cmmr. Lynch in San Francisco. Also present were Geoffrey Dryvynsyde, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, and Art Carter, legislative advocate for CUE. Joseph and Carter discussed various procedural options that would enable the Commission to fully consider potential alternatives to auction of the hydro assets. Joseph also stated that he believes that Pacific Gas and Electric Company opposes retention of the assets because of the unpredictability of future regulatory actions. Joseph stated that, in contrast, recent precedent indicates that contracts with generators are always honored. Filer: Coalition of California Utility Employees Contact: Bonnie Heeley Phone: (650) 589-1600 Summary: On June 12, 2000, Peter Hanschen of Morrison & Foerster LLP, representing Agricultural Energy Consumers Association (AECA), met with Cmmr. Lynch in San Francisco. Also present were: Kim Malcolm and Geoffrey Dryvynsyde, advisors to Cmmr. Lynch. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. Hanschen described why AECA believed that settlement was preferable and a framework for such a settlement that it would find acceptable. Hanschen further described AECA's three primary goals with respect to the valuation and disposition of Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) hydroelectric assets. With respect to auction, Hanschen stated that AECA did not believe that this option was politically acceptable. With respect to retention, Hanschen stated that AECA was concerned that PG&E's contention that it could not be compelled to retain the hydroelectric assets in the utility, whether right or wrong, could lead to delays in final valuation. Hanschen also stated that, as a matter of policy, AECA believed that in the long term PG&E should not be in the generating business. Hanschen indicated that AECA would be amenable to an approach whereby the hydroelectric facilities would be transferred to a non-utility subsidiary of PG&E. Hanschen stated that this approach would help to mitigate agriculture's water operation concerns. Hanschen expressed his opinion that the revenue sharing mechanism acted as a hedge and helped to mitigate valuation process.
