Jeff:


Can I get the non-technical explanation of AB18x.   Is the intent to parse 
the customers into large and small demand types, subjecting the large demand 
cucstomers to floating market rates and somehow protecting the smaller "core" 
customers with the shield of the retained generation assets?    I am sure 
there is more to it, can you help me with the derivation?



Regards,



Michael

Subject: Legislation:  competitive default provider; long-term contracts; 
core/noncore split in electricity

FYI.  From our folks in Sacramento:

AB 1085 is AES' competitive default provider bill.  It's not an emergency 
bill, so it will be dealt with throughout the remainder of the spring and 
summer.
AB 57 is a legislator's suggestions on how long-term contracts should be 
"regulated."  Also no an emergency bill.
AB18X is an emergency bill and it would create a core/noncore split in 
electricity similar to the one that exists in California's gas market.

Best,
Jeff
