FYI.  

Indexing avoided cost to CDWR purchases sounds like about a 5-yr process to 
me.

Subject: FW: CPUC ALJ Ruling in SRAC Proceeding


FYI.  Attached is a Ruling from CPUC ALJ Cooke in response to the QF/SRAC
issue.  Essentially, the Ruling directs DWR to provide cost data associated
with their contracts by March 19.  Presumedly, the CPUC will review the data
and make a determination as to whether these data in some way represent a
utilities "avoided cost." As noted in the ruling, in order for the CPUC to
utilize these types of data for determination of SRAC, Section 390 of the
Public Utilties Code needs to be amended.

Thus, we're back to the legislature.  In many ways, the CPUC, legislature,
and the Gov are "tossing the ball" which creates more delay.  We can discuss
this on the Friday morning call.
