Please note that per Decision D.10-03-022, accounts that are accepted from the January 31, 2011 enrollment date may not switch to Direct Access until 2012. For information regarding the 2012 Direct Access Enrollment process please visit:Direct Access Enrollment for 2012 Overview Direct Access (DA) is an option that allows eligible customers to purchase their electricity directly from competitive energy service providers (ESPs). The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued Decision D.10-03-022 on March 11, 2010, approving a limited reopening of DA for non-residential customers. PG&E will continue to transport and deliver electricity for all its customers taking service under DA. Decision D.10-05-039, approved May 20, 2010, extended the initial Open Enrollment Window from April 16, 2010 to July 15, 2010, and changed the enrollment date for Direct Access Enrollment for 2011 to July 16, 2010. Background DA has not been available to new customers in California since the Legislature suspended the program during the energy crisis in September 2001. CPUC Decision D.10-03-022 implements Senate Bill 695, a new law signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in October 2009, providing for a limited reopening of DA to non-residential customers starting in April 2010. For more information on this, see frequently asked questions. Details on DA Reopening Under the reopening rules, customers may enroll in DA up to a maximum allowable annual limit (measured in gigawatt-hours). PG&E’s DA load will be permitted to increase over the next four years from the current (November 2009) 5,574 GWh of DA load to a new total cap of 9,520 GWh. The approximate annual increases permitted under the new cap are: First year (April - December 2010): Up to 35% of the room available under the cap (1,381 GWh) Second year: Up to 70% of the room available under the cap (an additional 1,381 GWh) Third year: Up to 90 % of the room available under the cap (an additional 789 GWh) Fourth year: Up to 100% of the room available under the cap (an additional 395 GWh) Tue, 18 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.energychoices.us/sys/index.php?a=news http://www.energychoices.us/sys Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) General Rate Case May 6, 2010: DRA Urges CPUC to Clamp Down on PG&E's Request to Raise Rates by $4.2 Billion PG&E tendered its Notice of Intent (NOI) for a General Rate Case (GRC) on July 20, 2009. PG&E filed its GRC Application 09-12-020 on December 21, 2009. PG&E is requesting authorization from the Commission for revenue increases associated with its Electric Distribution, Gas Distribution, and Electric Generation operations which fall within the Commission's ratemaking jurisdiction. If the Commission were to grant PG&E's requests, the utility's GRC revenue requirement would increase from a currently projected level of $5.6 billion to $6.7 billion in Test Year (TY) 2011. PG&E Proposes a 3-Year General Rate Case Cycle and Requests: A $1.0 Billion (or 18.6%) Increase in its Test Year 2011 Revenue Requirement over Present Levels; and Additional Annual Revenue Increases Averaging $309 Million (or 4.5%) in 2012 and 2013. DRA Motion to strike a portion of PG&E's Rebuttal Testimony DRA Supplemental Testimony DRA Testimony DRA Protest PG&E General Rate Case Phase II September 9, 2010: PG&E filed Application 10-03-014 on March 22, 2010, proposing specific rate designs or structures for each customer class to reflect its increased revenue requirements from Phase 1 of the 2011 GRC (see information above). PG&E's proposal includes updates to electric marginal costs and the associated revenue allocation and rate design policies for the next three years. On September 8, 2010, DRA submitted testimony recommending changes to PG&E's marginal cost methodologies: these marginal costs are inputs to DRA's revenue allocation, determining each customer classes' revenue responsibilities. DRA also opposes PG&E's rate design proposals to introduce a new customer charge and lower the baseline usage threshold, which would increase rates for smaller and low-income customers.

(#'s below) Public Utilities Commission [CPUC] Commissioner Dian Grueneich stated “In the last five years PG&E rates have increased 28.3%, far above the rate of inflation... I take very seriously increasing rates. These appli...cations [for new fossil fueled plants] would literally add billions of dollars of new rates, lasting 20 years.” Please call to oppose Billions our cumulative investment dollars in the form of rate-hikes to fund tired, dinosaur fossil-fueled power plants! Monday PG&E senior vice president of energy procurement Fong Wan actually made the argument that PG&E is trying to get both Oakley and Mirant power plants approved, licensed and dirt turned before July 1st of 2011 or they will be subject to new, [more strict] federal EPA permit regulations that intended to reduce GHGs [greenhouse gases]. That is what we are trying to race against to influence CPUC Commissioner Simon into voting for PG&E approval for PG&E to raise our rates to buy more fossil-fueled electric generation than the CEC presently has determined California needs. Please note that Commissioner Simon actually brought the argument squarely to whether long-term RFOs should be "carved in marble and come down from the mount or should they be living and breathing and be able to adjust to current and even projected economic conditions considering the fact that ratepayers fund this process?" Whereas Mirant's Marsh Landing generating station rep attempted to make the argument that it doesn't really matter whether the demand is there for the electricity, investors/developers should have a reasonable assurance that, even if circumstances change during the process, that's a risk the RATEPAYERS should assume, not so much for the investors. The corporations thereafter avoided the fact that reasonable and very-real calculable changes in demand, based on the most recent data are always present. But that in making those decisions will chase investors and "Wall Street" away. It should be further argued that if PG&E's investments of our Billions were clean, renewable energy... not fossil fueled "cleaner" projects, that the opponents would not have intervened. Please call Commissioner Simon and let him know that you don't want to be charged to build these dinosaurs of ingenuity. Stand for clean Energy NOW! He still needs to hear from us.
