Rebuttal Testimony Conference Call - Assignments and Testimony C ????? ONFIDENTIAL I have scheduled a conference call for Tuesday, May 9, from 3:00PM-5:00PM to discuss our rebuttal testimony on the Comprehensive Settlement Agreement that is due on Friday, May 19.? I know many of you are still recovering from the direct testimony (which looks fabulous, compelling and persuasive) but we now need to focus our attention on rebuttal.? Call in number is 1-800-720-5846? Confirmation number is 6185854. I'm looking for feedback on the best approach to rebuttal and I have a few suggestions.? First, I would like to limit the testimony to witnesses who have already filed direct testimony.? Unless we absolutely need to add additional witnesses, my preference is to stop while we are ahead.? Adding more witnesses will make it increasingly difficult to convince the ALJ that the panel approach will work.? Second, although this is rebuttal testimony, it is not typical rebuttal.? ALJ Biren reserved this rebuttal for parties opposing settlements to state their case.? In as much as we can work in issues that are objectionable from direct, we should do so.? Nonetheless, we should try and focus our testimony on those things in the Post-Interim that are objectionable and inconsistent with the Commission's Most Promising Options.? I would use all of our "powder" on the Post-Interim arguments and limit our opinions on the viability of the Interim (at least some of the Interim signatories will take this approach).?? We will also need to address issues raised by PG&E, Long Beach and others, but it should not take up a lot of ink. I would like to portion out the assignments to the Post-Interim as follows: SoCalGas??????? ??????? Historical reply to reasonability of capacity contracts, assignments, and step-downs SoCalGas??????? ??????? Shareholder risk/reward; consistency with the Global Settlement; ratepayer sharing SoCalGas??????? ??????? Montebello SoCalGas??????? ??????? Information disclosure ORA???? ??????? ??????? Gas Accord as the appropriate regulatory policy model Dynegy/Watson/Enron???? Unbundling transmission benefits all customers, especially electric generators; RMRs and Edison WHP/WGS ??????? Storage unbundling TXU/Shell?????? ??????? Core capacity unbundling; self-balancing GreenMountain?? ??????? Failure to address retail issues I am not suggesting this is a comprehensive list and if I have missed something, speak now.?? I would like us to get our first draft out to parties no later than noon Monday, May 15.? Sorry folks, but we're running out of time.
