Subject:Settlement to Unbundle SoCalGas' Transportation, Storage, Balancing

Greetings:

Some time back I distributed the final term sheet summarizing the settlement
that a large number of interests reached with SoCalGas to unbundle SoCalGas'
Transportation, Storage and Balancing assets and services. Recently, many
have asked questions about the status and substance of the settlement. The
Term Sheet summarizing the settlement is attached.

The California Commission has held hearings on the settlement and parties are
now filing briefs. The ALJ's proposed decision should be out in the next
45-60 days or so and the Commission should be in a position to approve or
reject the proposal in mid- to late fall.

Over thirty parties signed the settlement. They represent everyone from
small consumers, to pipelines, to marketers, to utilities. Only 2-3 parties
actively opposed it. Unfortunately, California has a new governor, and his
two recent appointments to the Commission have thus far been pretty
unfriendly when it comes to competition. Nonetheless, there's a significant
effort underway on the part of a large number of parties to win Commission
approval. I'll keep you posted.

If you have any questions about either substance or status, don't hesitate to
email or call at 415.782.7822. Please forward along to others who might be
interested.

Best,
Jeff
