incidents have occurred, 4) the program has received high customer satisfaction, and 5) new eligible customers have been identified for the California Alternate Rates for Energy and Medical Baseline Allowance programs. SDG&E and SoCalGas also state that the Commission has already considered the policy arguments for and against the MHP Pilot and its various components, as well as costs, and ordered the initial step of the MHP Pilot to commence. SDG&E and SoCalGas contend that TURN’s end goal is to re-litigate the MHP Pilot and this should only be done by a petition for modification. Furthermore, SDG&E argue that the Commission ordered that a request to continue the MHP Pilot could be done by advice letter despite ORA’s proposal to require an application to be filed after the second year of the MHP Pilot in order to continue the program. This is consistent with the Commission’s stated goal “[t]o ensure the pilot can be flexibly extended to permit further, voluntary conversions.” SDG&E and SoCalGas have filed applications to continue the MHP Pilot to include an additional twenty percent of spaces within SDG&E and SoCalGas’ territories (Application 17-05-008 and Application 17-05-007, respectively). On April 2, 2017, the Western Manufactured Housing Community Association (WMA) sent a letter of support for the advice letter filings by PG&E, SCE, Southwest, SDG&E and SoCalGas. As an initial proponent of the program back in 2011, WMA agrees with the utilities that the program has been successful and should be continued. The City of Chula Vista and the City of Vista also each submitted a letter to the Commission on April 2, 2017 to support SDG&E’s AL. the ALs filed by the IOUs. Below in Table 1 and 2 are summaries of utility requests and status of their MHP pilot programs: Table 1: Electric Utilities Advice Letter Request and Current Program Status
