Based on the information below, I've taken the liberty to compile a
spreadsheet of active California-specific commercial gas customers residing
in the HP, STAT, and Altra databases. Included in the data is contact
information, expiration dates, product, price, LDC, volumes, as well as
number of accounts. Unfortunately STAT is the only database that allows
reporting on rate class. I've included that information. As a rule of
thumb, STAT generally houses the smaller commercial, HP, the medium
commercial, with Altra holding the industrial customers.

I hope this helps, Jim

Thanks for the note, Dave. Sounds at least modestly promising and consistent
with Sempra's message that they "want to work to make the market better."
Following up on our call last week, and just to ensure that we're not saying
anything that gets cross-ways with anything you might be discussing with Ron
and Nancy, give me a jingle when you get a chance and let's compare notes.
In the past, Socalgas has done a good job of boring into the Company and
having different discussions with different folks.

Also, Greg, if you have at your fingertips the profile of our California
customer base by class in the aggregate---large industrial, commercial, small
commercial & rez---that would be extremely useful info to have (i.e., how
many, annual demand, average annual demand by class). Finally, I'm assuming
that turning back customers as a result of credit problems or lack of
profitability is something we do on a consistent basis? Thanks alot.

Best,
Jeff,

Many of these accounts are turned back to the utility because of credit
issues or limited gas volumes make them unattractive.

Catherine, how many of the 30 go back for other than credit or size? Please
advise.

I had lunch today with Ron Kent and Nancy McVay from the Southern California
Gas Company. They are in charge of the Core Aggregation Transport program.
Ron and Nancy have been tasked to encourage customers to switch from the
utility. I have been working with them to find ways in which they can
promote the program with their customers.

They told me that we have been losing core customers back to the utility at a
rate of 30 meters per month. I asked them what they could do to help us hold
on to these accounts. They might be willing to give us a contact that we
could have our customers who have decided to go back to the utility could
call who would explain the benefits of being with a marketer and identify
high prices as general market conditions.

I would have to make this request to them formally and would like to know if
CAD would make use of this resource if the Gas Co. would agree to make it
available.
