Summary: On March 22, 1999 Sempra Energy (“Sempra”) officials communicated ex parte to Commissioner Neeper and advisor, David Gamson. The occasion was a meeting conducted at CPUC at the initiation of Sempra. Attending for Sempra were Ed Guiles, President of San Diego Gas and Electric (“SDG&E”) and Bill Reed, Lee Schavrien, and Kimberly Freeman, all of SDG&E. Mr. Reed urged adoption of Commission President Bilas’ alternate decision because the rate indexing methodology proposed therein encourages cost effective use of SDG&E’s distribution system. SDG&E opposed a 4/30/99 end date for the Gas Fixed Cost Account (“GFCA”) because it may result in a shareholder impact of roughly $30 million. Mr. Schavrien noted that SDG&E proposed (1) creating a surcharge, and (2) shifting the end date to the end of the year.
