FW: Protest to PG&E's Emergency Application

?
On Friday, Socalgas?filed a protest to the emergency application we filed
on Thursday which asked the CPUC to exercise its authority under Public
Utility Code section 2774 and order Socalgas to provide use with emergency
assistance to avert core gas supply shortages.? Socalgas asserts (1) section
2774 does not apply to gas shortages arising from financial difficulties;
(2) the emergency assistance we requested would jeopardize its financial
viability and ability to provide gas service to its own core customers; (3)
the requested relief would be an unconstitutional taking of its property;
and (4) PG&E has not exhausted its own remedies -- in particular, the
protest complains that PG&E wants Socalgas to act before PG&E diverts
noncore gas supplies.? Socalgas states it plans to ask a federal court for
injunctive relief to prevent CPUC issuance of the requested order.?
