As I reported to you from Irvine on Friday, I attended the hearing conducted
by Senator Dunn in Irvine, California. It was sound bite city, with no good
press for any generator or marketer. At the outset of the hearing Sen Dunn
stated that his committee had been in lengthy discussions regarding
confidentiality issues with the generators, without success, and that they
would be sending out subpoenas for records starting on Monday(today) and that
the production of documents from Cal ISO was to start last Friday. Sen Dunn
spent much of the day making his public record , posturing about the
difficulty of getting any documents from any generator or marketer because of
claims of confidentiality, and how unresponsive FERC has been. He got the
FERC lawyer, Robert Pease, to testify that any confidentiality afforded to
the bid data at Cal ISO under the FERC tariff would end after 6 months. As
you undoubtedly read, the PUC chairwoman had nothing good to say about the
generators. Since the subpoenas will probably be forthcoming shortly, do we
want to have a conference call of the group to discuss what transpired at
Friday's hearing ? I am interested in knowing how everyone intends to
proceed in response to any subpoenas from the Committee,particularly after
the failed efforts with the protective order. Please call me if we have not
talked by phone when you get this.
