Miyung's in charge of compiling and distributing such articles on a twice-a-day basis.
dev33
Thanks a bunch.
dev33
Glad to hear that you're on the distribution.
dev33
I think it's vital that you attend.
dev33
It's a centrist group that's making a lot of progress.
dev33
But chances for success will be greatly diminished without PG&E's participation.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
P.S.
dev33
If you're responsible for getting Dan there, you're a genius.
dev33
I've written Dan a note telling him that it's absolutely critical that he be there.
dev33
Maybe you could ask the other folks on the distribution to urge Dan to come, too.
dev33
Best, Jeff

Hi Kari: I know that you and I are both swamped, so I'm writing very briefly to give you a brief update.
dev33
But first, thank you very much again for meeting last week.
dev33
Greatly appreciated, and look forward to working together to help in any way I can to find solution that is acceptable to all.
dev33
Here's the update: Our "subcommitte" is meeting tomorrow to try to close the deal on a proposed solution.
dev33
It focuses on 3 key areas: Using the utilities retained assets to moderate prices.
dev33
Designing a framework for forward contracting that strikes a much more appropriate balance in CA between state oversight and the need for utility flexibility.
dev33
Rate stabilization/Undercollections (utility solvency) I will update you tomorrow on the group's progress.
dev33
If thing's go according to plan, we may be in a position to submit something to you a early as Monday.
dev33
If there's a deadline from your end that I ought to be aware of, let me know and I'll incorporate it into the subcommittee's work plan.
dev33
In the meantime, if there is anything at all that I can do to help, please don't hesitiate to contact me.
dev33
Thanks again and all the best, Jeff
dev33
who the hell is this bozo?
dev33
you forward this to wolfe, belden & co.?
dev33
I think we need to be careful about broadcasting every rumor floating around to an email list of this size.
dev33
Just a thought.
dev33
no problem.
dev33
we're cancelling the meeting.
dev33
FYI.
dev33
Here's the release that I referenced yesterday evening.

CONTACT: Armando Rend?n CPUC PRESIDENT LYNCH AND COMMISSIONER DUQUE STATEMENT California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) President Loretta Lynch and Commissioner Henry Duque today issued a statement regarding revisions to item 8 on the Commissioner agenda of December 21, 2000: We note certain revisions to the Commission's published agenda for December 21st.
dev33
Item 8 has been revised to reflect the scope of options available to the Commission in addressing current financial conditions facing Pacific Gas and Electric and Southern California Edison.
dev33
The financial problems faced by California's utilities are the result of the failure of the wholesale electric market to ensure just and reasonable prices for this necessity.
dev33
The Commission need not act on this agenda item on December 21st, but the fact that it is on our agenda allows the Commission to act if necessary.
dev33
The financial stability of California's utilities is of paramount importance to California, and to this Commission.
dev33
The CPUC stands ready to act to protect the financial viability of California utilities.
dev33
The exorbitant and unjustified prices now being charged in California's electricity market demonstrate the necessity for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to intervene and control the opportunism of the electricity sellers.
dev33
FERC must act to solve the underlying market failure so that all energy consumers are assured of reliable delivery of power and protected from exorbitant energy costs.
dev33
We urge FERC to act immediately.
dev33
For information on this item, please contact Harriett Burt, Deputy Chief of Staff for Loretta Lynch at 415-703- 2444, Mary Lou Tousey, 415-703-2593, or Commissioner Carl Wood, 415-703- 2440.
dev33
you will be on call, correct?
dev33
Since I'm in S.F., I assume that I'll be able to call in by phone?
dev33
Jeannie: there are currently 8,300 MWs worth of applications submitted and awaiting approval for construction from the CEC.
dev33
get rid of him.
dev33
And the same to you.
dev33
Sorry you didn't make to have a beer after the final.
dev33
See you at MPAR in January.
dev33
Have fun catching up on your sleep and laying around a little bit.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Only the presidential election was more bizarre!
dev33
I have my fingers crossed that a Republican administration will help.
dev33
In any case, it's a welcome change of pace.
dev33
Hope you're well out there.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Here are some suggestions for the op-ed piece.
dev33
One general comment: It may be a bit lengthy at this point.
dev33
Also, have we decided whether it would be our op-ed piece?
dev33
And one key point that is very commercially sensitive: The term "end the rate freeze" has very ominous implications for EES's book, depending on the timing of any such "end" in California.
dev33
Thus my heavy-handed edits on that portion.
dev33
Nice job, Jeannie.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Attached is a letter that we worked on today and that will be sent to the Governor, CA's US Senators (Boxer/Feinstein), congressional folks, and key Cal state legislators.
dev33
It's going out first thing tomorrow AM.
dev33
It builds on many of the things we've discussed over the past several months, so there shouldn't be any surprises.
dev33
If you've got any concerns please give Paul a call at home or page me at 888.916.7184.
dev33
Jeff
dev33
Thank you.
dev33
Have a nice holiday.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
FYI.
dev33
Please keep this internal and confidential.
dev33
Here's where the group I mentioned left off last Friday.
dev33
It will be useful for our discussion this afternoon.
dev33
You'll note from the comments that it's anything but a done deal.
dev33
I'll forward the SF press mentioned in the note.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Can we try to set up a quick call to discuss?
dev33
1) Is it your sense that the deal is done and that it will be announced at the PUC meeting on Thursday?
dev33
2) Would the PUC be required to provide 30 days comment, or could it be effective immediately?
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Bad.
dev33
Let's talk.
dev33
Yes.
dev33
need to be 12:30
dev33
Mike: Can't thank you guys enough for coming.
dev33
It was a great time, and Prentice was really happy that you made it.
dev33
Hope you didn't get too much of a headache listening to me play (?) the bass.
dev33
Please pass along thanks to Lisa, and no reciprocation needed.
dev33
Great to have you.
dev33
Happy holidays.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
likely a mistake.
dev33
send the sender an email and ask?
dev33
Jennifer: With respect to FERC's ruling from Friday, I'll forward to you what's been forwarded to me.
dev33
With respect to the governorn's plan, the one that you forwarded along from EES' customer is definitely one of the more extreme scenarios we've been hearing, but with Davis, I wouldn't rule anything out.
dev33
If I hear anything, I'll report back.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
The haircut notion, I believe, arises from Edison's claim that the PX price includes a capacity payment, particularly when demand (i.e., the price) is higher.
dev33
I think there's discussion of it in the proposed decision that came out some time ago and which sits in "hold" limbo on the Commission's agenda.
