SAN FRANCISCO, CA 

94111 

The City and County of San Francisco (“San Francisco”) a creditor and interested party in the 

above-captioned chapter 11 cases of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the “Utility”) and PG&E 

Corporation (“PG&E” and, together with the Utility, the “Debtors”), hereby joins, as further 

described herein, in Sonoma Clean Power Authority’s Limited Objection to the Motion of Debtors for 

a Protective Order [Docket # 2647]. (the “SCPA Objection”). This joinder is joined by Monterey 

Bay Community Power Authority and the City of San José. 

San Francisco generally concurs with the SCPA Objection filed herein and believes that the 

serious concerns raised in the SCPA Objection are valid. In addition, San Francisco supports SCPA’s 

proposed solutions with respect to the Debtor’s Proposed Protective Order. 

JOINDER 

San Francisco’s interest in the Protective Order is both as a creditor in its own right and on 

behalf of CleanPowerSF, its own community choice aggregator (“CCA”). San Francisco joins the 

SCPA and believes that the Proposed Protective Order submitted by the Debtors has the potential of 

creating extreme burdens and unfairness to San Francisco, CleanPowerSF, and other similarly situated 

governmental units. 

San Francisco further supports the suggested changes proposed in the SCPA Objection, which 

will help avoid the unintended consequences of the Debtors’ Proposed Protective Order that create 

both procedural and substantive issues for parties such as the CCAs and others in future proceedings 

in these Chapter 11 cases. 

CONCLUSION 

For the reasons stated herein, San Francisco joins the SCPA Objection and requests that the 

Court implement the proposed changes set forth in the SCPA Objection in any protective order 

established for these Chapter 11 cases. 

 Respectfully submitted,
