Bilateral Contracts for SCE, PG&E and SDG&E

Both SCE and PG&E have been authorized to purchase energy, capacity, and
ancillary services through bilateral contracts.
Quantities are limited to previously authorized limits in the forward market
(the PX Block Forward Markets)
The contracts must expire on or before 12/31/05.
For both PG&E and SCE, these contracts will be subject to limited
reasonableness review.
PG&E will not be allowed to enter into such contracts after the transition
period ends (3/31/02). The Commission will continue e to oversee the
procurement practices on a quarterly basis.
This was an emergency motion, so it is reasonable to assume that both PG&E
and SCE can enter into such transactions immediately.

SDG&E is authorized to enter into bids for 6*16 delivery period or a 7*24
delivery period for terms of 8/00 through 12/00 or 8/00 through 3/01.
SDG&E will submit bids to buy energy a levelized price for both terms.
SDG&E will bid only for small commercial and residential customers under 20kW
The quantities are limited to the quantities that they had approved in the
BFM participation spelled out in advice letter 1234-E. I do not have a copy
of that advice letter off hand but will provide you with the information
tomorrow.

We will provide you with more details soon.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
