Dated: September 19, 2014





Pursuant to the September 5, 2014 “Assigned Commissioner and Administrative Law Judges’ Ruling Requesting Settling Parties to Adopt Modifications to Proposed Settlement Agreement” (“Ruling”), Southern California Edison Company (“SCE”), San Diego Gas & Electric Company (“SDG&E”), the Office of Ratepayer Advocates (“ORA”),1 The Utility Reform Network (“TURN”), Friends of the Earth (“FOE”), and the Coalition of California Utility Employees (“CUE”) (collectively, the “Settling Parties”) jointly submit this Response.  

The Settling Parties have previously explained why the Settlement Agreement, as submitted to the California Public Utilities Commission (“Commission”) on April 3, 2014, meets the criteria of Rule 12.1(d) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure.  Given the careful balancing of the relevant interests reflected in that agreement, the Settling Parties continue to adhere to that view.  

The Settling Parties also believe, however, that the public interest will best be served by expeditiously resolving this proceeding and ensuring that the benefits flow to ratepayers as soon as possible.  Accordingly, the Settling Parties accept all of the modifications and clarifications to the Settlement Agreement proposed by the Ruling.

The Settling Parties will submit an amendment to the Settlement Agreement on or before September 24, 2014 to implement the Ruling and certain other non-substantive adjustments to the Settlement Agreement.  The Settling Parties ask the Commission to approve the amended Settlement Agreement promptly.






1 Although ORA was known as the Division of Ratepayer Advocates for most of this proceeding, this Response refers to it as “ORA” throughout.  






Respectfully Submitted,
