Subject: FW: CPUC Fastball: emergency meeting on 1/19

Greetings:

The CPUC held an emergency meeting this morning in which they restated the
utilities obligation to serve regardless of claims of bankruptcy or any other
insolvency. PG&E had indicated to both the ISO and CDWR that they had only
planned to schedule for load in which they had native generation to serve.
PG&E's logic is?probably that they will cover folks with the?assets they
have, but since they can't buy anything, they shouldn't?carry that
obligation.? CPUC doesn't like that logic, although if bankruptcy happens its
about the same effect?as?imposing that obligation on DWR.? This could be
avoided if they would just impose the rate increase?that will cover the
costs, subject to refund, and then get the long-term?deals in place.? At this
point the utilities have?much less to lose.? Please find the attached
decision.? For those of you who would like to listen to the hearing you can
listen to a rebroadcast by logging onto the CPUC web site.
