8.01.  Other Events
Energy
Efficiency Programs and Incentive Ratemaking
On
November 17, 2009, the administrative law judge presiding over the California
Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) energy efficiency incentive ratemaking
proceeding released a proposed decision (PD) that, if adopted by the CPUC, would
award Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Utility) incentive earnings of $14.7
million based on the Utility's achievement of energy efficiency savings during
the 2006-2008 energy efficiency program period.  The PD recommends
that an additional $30.3 million be held back and subject to verification in the
final true-up process to be completed in 2010.  In addition, on
November 17, 2009, a CPUC Commissioner released an alternate proposed decision
(APD) that recommends that the Utility be awarded $33.4 million and that an
additional $40.3 million be held back and subject to verification in the final
true-up process to be completed in 2010.
The CPUC
previously awarded the Utility $41.5 million in December 2008 based on the
Utility's first interim claim for energy efficiency program performance in
2006-2007.
Both the
PD and the APD (1) rely upon data presented in the CPUC's Energy Division's
second interim verification report issued on October 15, 2009, (2) decline to
adopt the proposed settlement submitted by the Utility and other parties in May
2009, and (3) recommend a schedule for the 2010 true-up process that
contemplates the release of a proposed decision by July 15, 2010 and a final
decision by mid-September 2010.
Under the
applicable rules, the CPUC must wait at least 30 days, i.e., until December 17,
