Currently the settlement has 520 for WH-N and 120 for WH-S for a total of 680. PG&E has proposed a "let the market decide" approach on the primary/secondary split by setting each receipt point at its physical capacity (WH-N @ 520 and WH-S @ 500 with the combination not greater than 680). This approach provides more flexibility to the shipper to move between the two points and maintain the quality of the firm service. I do not see any cost to SoCal or any other party to the settlement by making this change. I know Rich Hall has discussed this with several of you already. Attached is a document he sent me outlining proposal. Calpine supports this change but realizes that all parties need to agree. Thanks Craig <> > -----Original Message----- > From: Sullivan, Glen J.
