CTAs and CPAG members:
PG&E will hold a Core Procurement Advisory Group (CPAG) and Gas ESP (CTA)
meeting on Thursday September 28, 2000 in San Francisco, starting about 8:30
a.m. Lunch will be provided.
If you wish to attend, please hit "reply" and say "Yes" or "Maybe". That
will let us know about how many to expect.  With one of those replies, we'll
soon send you the exact time and location, as well a full agenda. [If you
wish to stop receiving notices or minutes of CPAG meetings, please reply
with a message something like "Remove My Name from List"]
A primary part of our agenda will be a detailed review of the implementation
details for CTA Storage Choice and CTA Billing Credits.  These provisions
are part of the recently approved Gas OII Settlement.  On July 17, PG&E
filed tariffs to implement these provisions and requested an effective date
of October 1, 2000.  No protests were filed, and we now expect to implement
on that date.  Our CPAG meeting will allow us to review the details of
implementation and answer any questions you may have.  CTAs will have to
make new choices about storage and billing in October and we expect all will
benefit from a discussion of these new processes.
In addition to near-term implementation, we will also review current
developments focused on the expected structure of the post-Accord period ---
the period PG&E is now calling Gas Accord II.    Many of you have already
been invited to PG&E's first meeting on this subject on September 14, as
noticed in the attached e-mail.
 <<FW: Gas Accord II Meeting>>
You may wish to attend that meeting as well. If so, please follow the
instructions in the attached e-mail.
At our September 28 CPAG meeting, we will report on the September 14
meeting, and explore further issues that you may have regarding the
post-Accord period.
In addition to these items, our tentative agenda for September 28 includes
the following:
* Status of SoCal Retail Settlement
* Impacts of the Cost Allocation Proceeding (2000 BCAP) on CTA operations
* A "clean-up" filing for Core Aggregation tariffs.
If you have additional items for discussion, or questions about our agenda,
please respond by e-mail, or contact me at the numbers below. As always,
PG&E hopes to positively affect your prospects to provide additional choice
for our distribution customers. Your ideas and participation are critical to
that effort.   See you in San Francisco.

> Subject:  Gas Accord II Meeting
>
> PARTIES:
>
> As you know, Pacific Gas and Electric Company's "Gas Accord" has a term
> which runs through calendar year 2002.  We are now at the stage where we
> need to begin preparing for the period beginning January 1, 2003, when the
> current Gas Accord expires.
>
> Pacific Gas and Electric Company is pleased to announce that we are
> holding our first meeting to initiate "Gas Accord II" settlement
> discussions on Thursday, September 14, in San Francisco.  We plan to start
> at 9:30 a.m. and end around 3:30 p.m.  We will provide lunch.  The meeting
> will be held at Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Pacific Energy Center,
> 851 Howard Street (between 4th and 5th Streets), in the large Conference
> Center.  Our objectives for this first meeting are to agree on process and
> to develop a full list of issues that parties would like to have
> addressed.  We will provide a more detailed agenda for the meeting as we
> get closer to the date.
>
> We are also starting a new mailing list of parties for the Gas Accord II
> settlement negotiations.  Like the recent Gas OII Settlement, we will
> maintain two lists:  one for general notices of meetings and settlement
> conferences, and another for those who have expressly agreed to abide by
> the terms of Rule 51 (attached), regarding the confidentiality of
> settlement negotiations, and who therefore will be able to receive
> settlement documents and other related materials.  Everyone on the Rule 51
> list will also automatically be included on the general notice list.
>
> Please complete and return the attached form so we can put you on the
> appropriate lists and have a record of your up-to-date contact
> information.  Please send your response by E-mail to Geoff Bellenger at
> gjb2@pge.com and to Frank Lindh at frl3@pge.com, or by FAX to Geoff
> Bellenger at 415-973-0881.
>
> We look forward to meeting with you and starting the Gas Accord II
> settlement process.
