Public Utilities Code section 311(g)(1) provides that this resolution must be served on all parties and subject to at least 30 days public review and comment prior to a vote of the Commission. Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure, Rule 14.6(c)(2), allows waiver of comments on draft resolutions in an uncontested matter that grants the relief requested. The 30-day comment period for the draft of this resolution was waived. AND CONCLUSIONS Pursuant to D.09-11-006 and Rule 41, SoCalGas must submit an Annual Compliance Report (ACR) by October 1st in order to demonstrate that the natural gas procurement activities undertaken to support Southern System reliability were in compliance with certain standards, criteria, and procedures. SoCalGas submitted AL 5193 on October 2, 2017, providing its ACR for the period September 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016. SoCalGas incurred $151,618,317 in procurement costs in order to support Southern System reliability from September 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017. These costs were incurred through 62 spot and baseload transactions. All of the gas purchases demonstrated via this ACR met the Rule 41 requirements and should be approved. Of the 62 purchases, 19 met the criteria of Section 15 of Rule 41, 19 met the criteria of Section 16, three met the criteria of section 18, and 21 met the criteria of Section 20. The explanation regarding SoCalGas transactions conducted per Rule 41, Section 18 (as of June 1, 2018: Section 17) identified as “TC# 3241,” “TC# 3258” and “TC# 3313” in AL 5193 are reasonable. The Operational Hub resold the purchased gas at the SoCal Citygate for $157,545,041. The total net cost, including transportation costs, was $7,397,711.
