Yesterday, PG&E sent out by email?the attached?advice letter  filed last 
Wednesday, 2057-E, which proposes to?implement revisions to all  electric 
rate schedules and preliminary statements to change the Company,s rates  and 
to bill customers based on PG&E,s flawed contention that the AB 1890  rate 
freeze has ended.? Based on accounting entries in its Transition Cost  
Balancing Account (TCBA), PG&E says it completed recovery of its transition  
costs sometime before August 31, 2000, thus ending the rate freeze.? 
?
This advice letter and the accompanying?tariff changes?are said  to be filed 
in compliance with D.00-06-034, D.00-03-058, and D.99-10-057 in the  
Post-Transition Electric Ratemaking (PTER) proceeding (A. 99-01-016).?  
However, I believe it conflicts directly with the end of the rate freeze  
mechanism which was specified in that proceeding.? 
?
The August date for ending the rate freeze is based on the valuation of  PG&E,
s retained hydro assets of $2.8 billion, as included in the Company,s  
Generation Asset Balancing Account ("GABA") filing effective June 23, 2000 
as  filed in Advice Letters 2048-E and 2049-E, dated October 26, 2000.? 
Based  on current market conditions PG&E believes the actual value will be  
determined to be higher than $2.8 billion.? If this is the case, the rate  
freeze will have ended earlier and the tariffs contained herein will be  
revised.? If the actual value of such generation is lawfully determined to  
be lower, PG&E says it will not seek recovery of any resulting  
undercollected CTC.
?
This should be protested as it is an obvious effort to get out from under  
their current purchased power undercollections at the expense of their  
ratepayers, by making a spurious claim that the rate freeze has ended.?  
There is no date specified for comments, but assuming the usual 20 days, 
that  means protests are due on December 12.
