The Commission just voted out one half of the "Bilas Alternate."

The decision that got voted out included Bilas' DWR-based language stating
that the PUC 1) would not second-guess DWR purchases and 2) would pass
through DWR costs to customers.
However, in a move led by Commissioner Carl Wood, the decision removed the
Bilas language on Direct Access. The decision therefore did NOT include the
Bilas language staying any Commission action on implementing the Direct
Access prohibition. Carl Wood called including Direct Access "the height of
arrogance."
The decision was voted out 3-2, with the 2 remaining Republicans dissenting.
That said, the Commission has no proposal before it implementing the
prohibition, and there was no talk at the meeting of implementing the
prohibition any time soon.

Best,
Jeff
