Subject: Rehearing on PG&E's GRC

Almost two years after issuing a decision in PG&E's GRC, the Commission issued it rehearing order on October 16th and, lo and behold, actually granted TURN's rehearing request in part.
The overall result is to reduce the capital revenue requirement by $24.8 million and expenses by $37.3 million.
In addition, some portion of PG&E' estimated $171 million in electric distribution capital spending will be subject to rehearing.
Listed  below are the areas in which the Commission granted rehearing.
1.
Electric Distribution Capital Spending.
The Commission will, in essence, reopen the record, and allow PG&E to put into evidence how much it invested in its electric distribution plant in 1998.
PG&E had used a 1998 forecasted amt of capital expenditures to develop its test year forecast.
TURN argued that there was substantial evidence on the record that this amount was never spent.
PG&E argued that the record closed prior to the end of 1998 so the best it could do was an estimate.
On rehearing, the Commission agreed with TURN, that there was evidence that the forecasted amount was never spent, so they are allowing PG&E to prove it.
The rehearing order states that any rates that are raised based on the electric distribution capital forecast adopted the GRC decision  may be subject to refund.
2.
Emergency Response Work This work category under electric distribution capital spending was reduced by $17.2 million.
3.
Vegetation Management.
The Supplemental Tree Trimming Program was reduced by $9.2 million.
4.
Meter Reading.
PG&E had primarily used accounting changes to justify the large increase in this service.
On rehearing the Commission stated that PG&E had failed to substantiate those changes and reduced the allowed amount by $7.9 million.
5.
Account Services.
On rehearing the commission stated that PG&E had failed to show (a) why it cost so much more to provide services to CIA customers  than residential customers ( $43.30 vs. $10.20); and (b) that money was not going for marketing activities that the Commission had disallowed in the previous GRC.
The result was that the commission disallowed $20 million.
6.
Customer Information Systems.
The Commission disallowed $7.2 million as funds which ratepayers had already expended for CIS  rewrites for which they had not received any benefits.

Subject: Results--Week 7 & Pick Sheet for Week 8

WOW what a week!!
I'm pretty sure these are the lowest scores ever - I'm going to have my statistician check that out.
Meanwhile....EVERYBODY sat down - four different teams were picked and they all lost so 12 of you will split the $120.00 pool!
(Almost as good as the income tax rebate!)
It was really WAM's week - he not only married the lovely Shannon McClennahan in Carmel this weekend, he also won first place for the first time and he is a co-founder of the pool!
AND his beloved Cleveland finally won when he bet on them!!
The week also brought good fortune to 2 first time winners for this year:  2nd place - Andy 3rd place - Mickey and in 4th place was Cary  Congratulations to all of you!
Checks for Weeks 1-7 (actually six weeks) will go out later this week so please let me know if you see any errors.
The scores were so low that there was not much movement in rankings to report.
The pick sheet is attached for next week.

Subject: VERY URGENT - $600million Cost Shifting to PG&E Customers

HELP STOP THE SHIFT OF OVER $600 MILLION OF POWER COSTS FROM S. CALIFORNIA TO N. AND CENTRAL CALIFORNIA RATEPAYERS.
Please call the PUC at 415 703 2074 to voice your opposition to this unfair plan.
Details and talking points are below.
*********** According to the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) draft decision on the California Department of Water Resources?s (DWR) revenue requirement (attached), the CPUC is proposing to shift over $600 million of unreviewed DWR power costs to PG&E?s customers from Southern California customers.
If adopted by the CPUC, this would lock PG&E customers into 40-55 percent higher rates for DWR power over the next 10 years, compared to customers of Southern California Edison and SDG&E.
It discriminates against PG&E?s customers and has not been subject to public review, due process, or cost justification by DWR or the CPUC.
The CPUC has postponed the vote on the DWR cost shifting issue until later this month (Sept 20th, or sooner).
Without a full public hearing at which all the cost and ratemaking issues can be aired, Northern and Central California customers will not have a full and fair opportunity to review DWR ?s multi-billion dollar rate demands and will be unable to influence these proceedings.
The SVMG is strongly urging you to call the CPUC as well as your local legislators (contact information attached) to gain their support in opposing this unjustified and discriminatory rate shift.
Main issues of concern are: 1)the unfair shift of over $600 million in costs from SCE customers to PG&E customers; 2)imposes higher Direct Access exit fees in Northern CA.
than in Southern CA.
; 3)appears to fund a portion of SCE's debt repayment on the backs of PG&E customers without any justification from the CPUC (please find further talking points attached).
We are asking that the CPUC conduct open public hearings so that public comment can be provided, and the DWR's basis for cost recovery can be reviewed.
Thank you for your prompt support in this crucial effort.

Subject: Proposed SCE Negotiation Strategy

Following last week's meeting, here is my recommendation on how to proceed with SCE.
1.
Form Enron Negotiation Team  	My recommendation is to use the same team we used with PG&E + Jeff Dasovich.
My understanding was that Lisa M. was the lead negotiator - I would not change this.
Jeff should only be there to make introductions.
2.
Meet & Confer (10/29)  	Sue Mara and Jeff Dasovich will listen and report back to everyone on what happens.
3.
Reformed Stipulation  	I would propose that we take a wait and see approach to this document.
Based on Dasovich's idea to get together with SCE on Thursday, maybe let this ride.
4.
Meeting  	My understanding is that (Jeff D. please correct) SCE can meet with us this Thursday.
Can everyone make it that needs to be there?
Probably meet in California.
We should put the laundry list on the table.
Please let me know what else we need to discuss or if anyone disagrees.

Subject: CSFB Independent Power Weekly-Issue #42

<<IPW091001.doc>>  Good Morning,  Attached, please find the latest issue of our Independent Power Weekly.
Also note that today and tomorrow (9/10 and 9/11), CSFB will host a Power Generation Supply Chain Conference at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
This event is designed to provide investors with a wholistic perspective on all aspects of the sector-from coal and natural gas companies, to equipment and service providers, to the power producers themselves.
The major power generators are scheduled to speak on Tuesday morning (9/11).
Between 9.25 am - 11.50 am presentations will be given by the following companies: Aquila, Calpine, Mirant, NRG Energy, Orion Power, Reliant Resources and TECO Energy.
In addition, at 8 am on Tuesday there will be a panel discussion focusing on the state of the generation market.
Finally, at 12 pm on Tuesday Judah Rose a power market consultant with ICF Consulting will offer his perspectives on the outlook for the sector during a luncheon presentation.
Summary: 1.
IPPs Fall 3.7%   Last week our IPP composite declined 3.7%, outperforming both the NASDAQ (-6.5%) and the S&P 500 (-4.2%).
Shaw Group, which was up 14.4%, was the strongest performer in the group.
AES Corp was the weakest performer, falling 10.7%.
2.
Awaiting a Bottom   We attribute last week's stock price performance to broader market concerns regarding the health of the macro economy and its ability to recover by the end of 2001.
Our sense is that investors recognize that IPP valuations are extremely attractive.
However, prior to moving aggressively back into the sector, they await some indication that stock prices have stabilized and a bottom has indeed been achieved.
3.
Shell Terminates Contract with CPN; Concerns Unwarranted   Following its exit from the retail marketing business, Shell terminated a 5 year 3,000 MW requirements contract with Calpine.
We believe some investors concluded that this announcement had negative implication for CPN's earnings outlook and its overall hedging strategy.
In our view these concerns are unwarranted for 4 reasons: 1.
The Shell contract was unusual; 2.
There is no earnings impact; 3.
Remarketing the output will not be an issue; and, 4.
The status of CPN's hedging objectives is unaffected.
4.
Legal and Administrative Issues Remain for California Windfall Profits Tax Bills   Recently, two bills that would impose a windfall profits tax on California generators have been advancing through the California legislature and will likely by heard on the floor of the Assembly this week.
The current legislative session will end this Friday (9/14), requiring any pending bills to be passed by that time.
In our view these bills are best understood as a negotiating tactic by Governor Gray Davis and Democrats in the legislature designed to extract additional concession from the FERC and the state's power generators.
While we expect at least one or both of these bills to advance through the legislative process, full implementation is likely to be prevented by a number of legal and administrative impediments.
Regards,
Subject: PG&E

Steffes and I were just chatting and an idea came up, that we try to offer our El Paso capacity to PG&E in their bankruptcy suit (in which a settlement is being negotiated) and perhaps we can, in turn, reduce our claim against PG&E in that case.
Maybe this is already being done, but if not, it is a thought.
Lisa Mellencamp and Michael Tribolet are doing the bankruptcy case.
