Filer: Pacific Gas and Electric Company Contact: Sandra Ciach Phone: (415) 972-5611 2/11/00 A98-09-003 Pacific Gas and Electric Company, for review and recovery of the costs and recovery of the costs and revenues in the transition cost balancing account, A98-09-008 Southern California Edison Company, for review and recover transition cost balancing account entries and various generation-related memorandum account entries, and A98-09-009 San Diego Gas & Electric Company, for review and find reasonableness in the annual transition cost proceeding regarding the transition cost balancing account. Summary: On February 9, 2000 @ 4:30 p.m., at the CPUC in San Francisco, the following person(s) met with Commissioner Carl W. Wood and his Advisor, Bill Julian, at a meeting initiated by Southern California Edison Company ("SCE"), to wit: Robert Kinosian, ORA analyst; Bruce Foster, SCE Vice-President; Michael Hoover and Gary Schoonyan, both Regulatory Affairs representatives for SCE. Mr. Kinosian indicated that ORA opposed the proposal in the Proposed Decision ("PD") to modify retroactively the estimated market value of the utilities' generation facilities and recalculate interest paid to the utilities. He next stated ORA's opposition to portions of the PD's proposal to update the values for all three utilities, when there is only a need to update the values for PG&E which should be limited to its hydo plants and not include updates to its nuclear plant value. He observed the PD fails to address the need to modify the existing ratemaking treatment for the nuclear facilities and it likewise fails to address the issues related to the decommissioning trusts. Finally, Mr. Kinosian expressed ORA's concerns regarding the PD's proposal that the new estimates be made on an asset-by-asset basis. Instead, a single aggregate estimate for all of PG&E's hydro facilities is sufficient for estimating uneconomic costs.

Mr. Kinosian indicated that ORA opposed the proposal in the Proposed Decision ("PD") to modify retroactively the estimated market value of the utilities' generation facilities and recalculate interest paid to the utilities. He next stated ORA's opposition to portions of the PD's proposal to update the values for all three utilities, when there is only a need to update the values for PG&E which should be limited to its hydo plants and not include updates to its nuclear plant value. He observed the PD fails to address the need to modify the existing ratemaking treatment for the nuclear facilities and it likewise fails to address the issues related to the decommissioning trusts. Finally, Mr. Kinosian expressed ORA's concerns regarding the PD's proposal that the new estimates be made on an asset-by-asset basis. Instead, a single aggregate estimate for all of PG&E's hydro facilities is sufficient for estimating uneconomic costs.

Summary: On February 8, 2000 @ 10:00 a.m., at the CPUC in San Francisco, the following person(s) met with Commissioner Henry Duque and his Advisors, Trina Horner and Lynne McGhee at an all-party meeting initiated by said Commissioner, to wit: Kimberly Freeman, State Regulatory Relations Administrator, Lisa Hubbard, Director of State Regulatory Relations, Rodney Winter and Steve Rahon, Regulatory Case Manager, all of Sempra Energy; Jeff Hartman, Director of Energy Markets, Southern California Gas Company ("SoCalGas"); Brian Cragg, Bob Weisenmiller, EGA and Monsanto; Frank DeRosa, PG&E Gen; Mark Pocta, ORA; Patrick Power, City of Long Beach; Tom Fillmore, Southern California Edison Company; Joe Karp, CCC; Joyce Alfton, CPUC; Thomas Beach, Watson Cogeneration; Mark Joseph, CCUE; Gregory Klatt, SCGC; Michael Day, Kern River and Questar; Ed Poole and Steve Moss, WMA; and Lindsey How-Downing, Calpine. Ms. Freeman urged the Commission to vote for the Proposed Decision ("PD") of ALJ Barnett as modified by Comments and Reply Comments filed by both SoCalGas and San Diego Gas & Electric Company ("SDG&E"). She requested that the Commission adopt a segmented Electric Generator ("EG") class rate design for SDG&E. She also commented that the three-year transition period in the RLS tariff discussion of the PD is a compromise position that SoCalGas is willing to accept. She urged the Commission to allow SoCalGas the three-year transition period to file an application for a new service. Mr. Hartman stated that the RLS tariff has not caused developers to site electric generation facilities outside of SoCalGas' service territory. He stated that under no circumstances is SoCalGas allowed to charge above market rates for peaking services and those who wish to abolish the RLS tariff immediately do so only to lure customers away from the utility. Finally, Mr. Winter summarized SDG&E's position with respect to adoption of a segmented rate design for the EG customer class.

Day, Esq., for Kern River Gas Transmission Company and Questar Southern Trails Pipeline Company (collectively, "Kern River/Questar");Kimberly Freeman, Jeffrey Hartman and Rodney Winter for Sempra Energy; Joseph Karp for the California Cogeneration Council; Patrick Power for the City of Long Beach; Francis DeRosa for PG&E Generating; Thomas Beach for Watson Cogeneration; Thomas Fillmore for Southern California Edison Company; Lindsay How- Downing for Calpine Corporation; Gregory Klatt for Southern California Generation Coalition; Marcel Hawiger for TURN and UCAN; Ed Poole for Western Manufactured Housing Association; Mark Pocta for ORA; and Brian Cragg for the Electric Generator Alliance and Monsanto Company. Mr. Day stated that although the Proposed Decision properly concluded that the RLS tariff should be eliminated, it improperly determined that the tariff should remain in place for three years first. SoCalGas should only be permitted an opportunity to file a cost-based, as opposed to a market-based, peaking rate due to its almost complete market power over the storage and peaking markets in its service territory. Core customers are being disadvantaged by the electric generation load loss on the SoCalGas system and that adoption of a more equitable system for pricing baseload and peaking transmission will benefit all customers, including the core.

Summary: On February 8, 2000, Thomas Long, Senior Telecommunications Attorney for The Utility Reform Network ("TURN"), caused to be hand-delivered a letter addressed to each of the five Commissioners with copies to each of the Commissioner's telecommunications Advisors. A copy of said letter is attached. Mr. Long encouraged the Commission to avoid the appearance-of-bias analysis in the Alternate Decision sponsored by Commissioner Duque in that the evidence relied upon for the finding of bias would disqualify practically every consultant who appears before the Commission. He also noted that the focus of D.96-05-036 was to retain an auditor who lacked a conflict of interest with Pacific Bell, not to screen out all auditors who could be deemed to have an appearance of bias against it. He finally explained that the Commission is in danger of missing its third statutory deadline for completing the audit.
