She is the state's top regulator, in charge of regulating utilities, telecommunications, commercial transportation and water companies. | dev33 |
Before her appointment to the PUC, Lynch was head of Davis's office of Planning and Research. | dev33 |
The letter says the PUC had a number of opportunities last summer to keep the electricity crisis from spiraling out of control by allowing Edison International (EIX, news, msgs) unit Southern California Edison, PG&E Corp. (PCG, news, msgs) unit Pacific Gas & Electric and Sempra Energy (SRE, news, msgs) unit San Diego Gas & Electric to sign long-term power supply contracts for about $50 a megawatt-hour, nearly $30 lower than the new long-term contracts Davis said the state entered into recently with generators. | dev33 |
Lynch's failure to "ensure that the commission's Aug. 3, 2000, emergency order on long-term contracts was quickly implemented has placed the state budget at risk for costs now at least 40% higher," the letter said. | dev33 |
"This hesitancy in a crisis will cost California's economy tens of billions of dollars during the next 20 years." | dev33 |
The state has spent more than $3 billion since January buying power in the spot market. | dev33 |
Davis has asked lawmakers for another $500 million from the general fund to continue buying power. | dev33 |
If the $500 million is granted, the state's commitment to power purchases will surpass $4 billion. | dev33 |
State Sen. Steve Peace, D-El Cajon, however, said last week that the Senate Budget Committee will deny further requests for funding unless the PUC carves out a revenue stream for the state's Department of Water Resources, the agency that is now buying the bulk of the state's power on behalf of the cash-strapped utilities. | dev33 |
The PUC was expected to release guidelines last week on rates the DWR can receive from utilities to pay back the general fund and to issue revenue bonds to pay for long-term contracts. | dev33 |
But the guidelines haven't yet been released. | dev33 |
Last year, the PUC said the utilities could enter into limited long-term supply contracts to hedge their positions against price spikes. | dev33 |
But the commission also said it feared if the utilities signed long-term deals with generators, liquidity in the wholesale market would be reduced. | dev33 |
The Republican lawmakers said the commission is responsible for nearly forcing the utilities into bankruptcy. | dev33 |
"We have no confidence that Loretta Lynch will play a constructive role in solving the energy crisis in the weeks and months ahead," the letter said. | dev33 |
"With Wall Street nervous about repayment of the $10 billion in revenue bonds needed to cover the state's energy purchases, the CPUC has been unable to perform an adequate assessment of the investor-owned utilities' financial situation." | dev33 |

Professor Tasker: I have the distinct (and sinking) feeling that you may not be getting emails that I've sent to you, since over the last 3 weeks I've sent a few and haven't heard back. | dev33 |
Is the haas account the correct address? | dev33 |
Best, Jeff | dev33 |

Best, Jeff To: Jeff Dasovich/Na/Enron@ENRON cc: Christian Yoder/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: FYI Re Rate Stabilization Hearings---Getting rates secured for I think we should respond, but I am not quite sure what we should say...Iwill read it. | dev33 |
We're getting a lot of inquiries about Enron's role in California's de-reg history, with a lot of misinformation arising out of Peace's handywork. | dev33 |
I spent about 3 hours on Friday with a Sac Bee reporter (Dale Kasler). | dev33 |
He'll be interviewing Skilling on the same topic in a week or so, and he'd like to talk to Steve, too. | dev33 |
Sue spent time with a NYT reporter discussing the same. | dev33 |
Some common themes are arising in the questions. | dev33 |
Thought it would be a good idea to spend 30 minutes discussing those themes and developing our messages to ensure consistency. | dev33 |
If folks think it would be useful, is there a time this week that we could squeeze in 30 minutes? | dev33 |
Thanks. | dev33 |
Best, Jeff | dev33 |
Greetings: Saw your QF story. | dev33 |
You were right. | dev33 |
One never know what the "story du jour" will be. | dev33 |
You still interested in talking to Steve Kean? | dev33 |
If you are, when do you talk to Skilling, and would you want to schedule something around that, or sooner? | dev33 |
