Re: Meeting re Post-Transition Ratesetting
The meeting room for the Friday February 19 meeting, announced previously
as described below, will be Room 308 at PG&E, 77 Beale St., San
Francisco. The meeting time will be 10 AM to 1 PM.
As described below, the agenda for this meeting will be primarily a
general discussion to determine the nature and scope of activities
relating to post-transition ratesetting that parties may wish to
undertake at a level like the Ratesetting Working Group has previously
done, as well as to answer any questions about filings to date. One
specific topic that has been suggested is to explore the possibility of a
stipulation regarding FERC deference to CPUC recommendations regarding
rate design for costs of reliability must-run generation, similar to the
stipulation that was previously presented to the CPUC and FERC regarding
transmission rate design. If anyone wants to propose other specific
items for discussion, we can arrange the agenda accordingly.
Please accept my apologies for not making all the requested changes to
this email distribution list that were sent to me after the previous
meeting announcement. I was out of town all last week on business, and
just haven't had time to catch up yet. One item for discussion will be
communication mechanisms, assuming there is interest in continuing
discussions.

Subject: Meeting re Post-Transition Ratesetting
As a participant in past Ratesetting Working Group (RWG) activities, you
will recall the role of this type of group in developing parties'
understanding of issues in ratemaking proceedings that relate to electric
restructuring, and in exploring possibilities for resolving selected
issues outside of litigation before the CPUC.
Informal discussions have shown that a number of parties have an interest
in addressing these types of issues in the upcoming post-transition
ratemaking proceeding. An informal meeting for individuals and
organizations interested in the post-transition ratemaking proceeding has
been scheduled for 10 AM on Friday, February 19, at PG&E's offices in San
Francisco. The purpose of this meeting is to determine the nature and
scope of activities relating to this proceeding that parties may wish to
undertake. This can also be an opportunity to informally answer any
questions that participants wish to raise about filings made through that
date (including the utilities' applications and parties' protests).
The meeting room will be announced in a later e-mail message.
