California PUC Postpones Rate Decision
LCG, Feb. 9, 2002--The California Public Utilities Commission will delay a decision on charges to be assessed to repay the Department of Water Resources for electricity purchases.The DWR paid for electricity purchases in the state last year when suppliers would no longer sell to the state's utilities, which experienced wholesale power costs well in excess of what they could charge customers. The commissioner Carl Wood asked that additional time could be allowed to consider an alternative to the proposed plan to assess charges evenly within customer classes in all parts of the state.This allocation of costs, known as the "postage stamp" method, criticized by San Diego Gas & Electric because the utility had lower rates than Pacific Gas and Electric and Southern California Edison, and required less in the way of state purchases as a result. The company and a group of its customers is advocating that the PUC vote in favor of charges based on the cost to DWR of supplying the different service territories.The postage stamp method is favored by the Utility Consumer Action Network in San Diego and The Utility Reform Network, based in San Francisco. Mindy Spatt of TURN said, "these aren't typical utility cots because the power was purchased for the benefit of everyone in the entire state."San Diego Gas & Electric spokesman Ed Van Heric hopes that the PUC's delay, which he called "a cause for optimism," will end with a ruling for cost-based allocation on Feb. 21.
