Guzman, Jr. Phone: (415) 398-3600 7/6/99 A98-04-016 Pacific Gas and Electric Company, for authorization to sell the El Dorado Hydroelectric Project to El Dorado Irrigation District. Summary Michelle Cooke, advisor to Cmmr. Duque, in San Francisco. Also present were: Dorothy Duda, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas, and Kevin Coughlan, advisor to Cmmr. Wood; Sabrina Miller, Senior Regulatory Representative, Richard Meiss, attorney, Stephanie Maggard, Director, Capital Accounting Department, Steven Peirano, Senior Project Manager, Hydro Generation Department, for Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E); William Hetland, General Manager, and John Kessler, Director, Hydroelectric Department, for EID; and William Marcus, Principal Economist, JBS Energy, Inc. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. Myers stated that Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) had approved the transfer of the Project's license from PG&E to EID, and that, with the certification by the EID Board of a Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR), this matter would be ready for a decision. Kessler stated that the project had been severely damaged in the storm of 1997 and had been inoperable for electric generation since that time. Kessler noted that, associated with the Project's primary electric generation function, was a public utility and contractual obligation for PG&E to deliver a set amount of water for EID. Kessler stated that that water represented a critical and irreplaceable one- third of EID's water supply to its customers and that, in acquiring the Project, EID sought to ensure a continued supply of water. Referring to a dispute existed in this proceeding, Myers explained that it centered on the economic terms and the "value" of the assets. Peirano stated that PG&E was not foreclosed from renewing the Project license and, without this transfer, PG&E's only alternative would be to decommission the plant. Myers and Meiss both noted that, with the transfer, PG&E would not only be relieved of its water obligation to EID, but highly contentious litigation surrounding that obligation would end. Marcus indicated that the $17 million payment to EID was reasonable. Maggard described the ratemaking treatment for the transfer. Meiss, Kessler, and Myers also stated that the values ascribed to parcels and water being transferred were consistent with restrictions on land use and water rights dictated by the federal, state, and local authority over Project property and water. Myers further noted that approval of this transfer would not create any new consumptive water rights for EID. Myers and Meiss urged the Commission's prompt approval of the CATA after the certification of the final EIR.
