2 BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Application of Southern California gas Company and San Diego Gas & Electric Company to expand existing off system delivery authority A RESPONSE BY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY (U 338-E TO MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE Pursuant to the procedural schedule set forth by Administrative Law Judge Wong in the above-referenced proceeding at the September 29, 2008 prehearing conference, Southern California Edison Company ( SCE submits the following response to the Southern California Generation Coalition s September 26, 2008 Motion for Consolidation of Application No and Application No (Phase 2 of the Biennial Cost Allocation Proceeding. As SCE indicated at the prehearing conference, SCE generally supports the concept of expanding off-system deliveries because the company supports a fluid and transparent gas market. SCE believes that there are at least two issues that should be fully vetted regarding the expansion of off-system deliveries. First, SCE believes that expanding off-system deliveries would impact storage and flow issues, and that such impact raises factual questions that should preferably be addressed on the record subject to cross-examination, as SCGC requests in its motion. 1 Second, SCE believes that there are factual issues relating to the rate design and proper revenue allocation for this new service, which should be addressed in evidentiary hearings. SCE 1 SCGC Motion, pp. 2 and

3 agrees with SCGC s motion that an offering of a new service like this has typically been raised in the BCAP. 2 With respect to rate design, SoCalGas charges a cost-based rate for services related to off-system deliveries into the PG&E system. Since customers outside of California will benefit from the expansion of off-system deliveries, SCE believes that the Commission should evaluate whether the same rate design is appropriate or whether market based rates would be a more appropriate option. With respect to revenue allocation, SCE submits that this is clearly a BCAP issue which involves consideration of which customer classes pay for the facilities that are used to provide this service and the allocation of revenues to these customers. In response to the Administrative Law Judge s inquiry as to whether or not the offering of this new service on an interruptible (as opposed to firm basis would impact the need for hearings, 3 SCE submits that the issues it raises above are relevant whether or not the service is interruptible or firm. For the above reasons, SCE urges the Commission to approve consolidation of this proceeding with Phase 2 of the BCAP, as set forth in SCGC s Motion to Consolidate. 2 SCGC s Motion, p Prehearing Conference Agenda, paragraph 4a
