Re: Call for Agenda Items and RSVP

Steve,

Several ESPs have asked to include the following agenda item for next week:

1. Ability of ESPs to market MDMA and MSP services to large customers
without providing the electricity commodity.

The MDMA Users Group has requested the following:

2. Possible Petition to Modify D.97-12-048 so that either MDMAs are
certified by UDCs or, in the alternative, that MSPs are specifically
authorized to provide backup meter reading services for MDMAs using remote
systems (the UDCs are concerned about liability).

3. Clarification: can a customer with an hourly meter, who is between 20
and 50 kW, use statistical load profiles for settlement and billing? (The
UDCs believe no, but are unsure.)

4. Clarification: can MSPs and MDMAs provide metering services to large
customers in 1998 for non-hourly metering? (The UDCs disagree on their
interpretation of CPUC rules on this.)

CellNet has two agenda items:

5. Specifying Rule 22 changes that implement the CPUC's ruling in
D.97-12-048 that customers may add retrofit devices to their existing meters.

6. Clarification of Rule 22 requirements that customers returning to UDC
electricity service have meters that can be read by the UDC. Does reading
at the MDMA Server qualify?

I will attend from CellNet and will encourage the ESPs mentioned above to
contact you and RSVP.

Thanks!

Chris
