California Utilities Will Buy Power in 2003
LCG, Oct. 25, 2002--The California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) yesterday mandated that beginning Jan. 1, 2003, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric must start buying power for their customers again, and will have access to interest-free credit from the state if necessary.The Department of Water Resources will exit from its role as buyer of power at the end of this year, although it began buying power through long-term contracts signed during last year's energy crisis. Only a minimal percentage of overall supplies will be purchased by the utilities, which will be assigned the contracts.The PUC also said that it would move from reviewing decisions made by the utilities after the fact to a new regulatory mode, of going over plans in advance of their execution. The investor-owned utilities have pushed for such treatment in cases in which unforeseen regulatory factors came to light once they had pursued initiatives on their own.The President of the PUC, Loretta Lynch, said that with the ruling, "the utilities are back in business." It found that the utilities' projected purchases are "well within their ability to finance."
