We should probably make sure we're coordinated on this one. Greg Wolfe has a
history on this one--apparently we've been contacted by Puget in the past, by
certain of the customers in the past, and by consultants to the customers.
Also, Dave Fuller was inquiring about Puget's customers as well.

I know a bunch of the folks involved and may be able to help bridge some of
the gaps--but my contacts are certainly not unique.

As a final note, we need to be careful as Robert McCullough used to consult
for Bellingham Cold Storage and GP--two of the companies involved in the
mess. Robert is not a friend of ours.

Chris Foster asked me for help with a Puget Sound Energy tariff that would
allow us a quasi direct access to Puget's largest customers. In response to
his request I am sending him information about who the customers are, so he
can contact them.

Air Liquide et al v. PSE

Formal Complaint - Docket UE-001952

This week, the Commission is hearing evidence regarding the level of
a "soft
cap" on prices PSE charges some large customers.

On January 26, Public Counsel and Commission Staff filed a joint
answer on
the rate cap mechanism.

On Jan. 22, the UTC approved a temporary "soft-price" cap for power
rates
paid by 13 large industrial customers of Puget Sound Energy (PSE). A
short-term soft cap would allow PSE to charge above the cap for power
costs
if the utility was paying more than a maximum level.

The order calls for a second set of proceedings to establish the
level of the
temporary soft cap as a term under the provisions of Schedule 48 and
the
PSE/Georgia-Pacific Special Contract. The cap would be in place
pending
further proceedings to determine a final disposition of Schedule 48.

Puget's 13 large industrial customers are: Boeing, Georgia-Pacific,
Air Liquide
America Corp. CNC Containers, Equilon Enterprises, Air Products and
Chemicals, Inc., Tesoro Northwest, City of Anacortes, Intel Corp.,
King
County's Metro Wastewater Treatment Division, Olympic Pipe-Bayview,
Qwest and MCI WorldCo
