FYI.? On November 22, Edison filed advice letter 1500-E,  which?revises 
Schedule PX to reflect the use of gross load, rather than net  load for 
self-generation customers in calculating the Grid Management Charge  
applicable to customers, as assessed by the ISO.? This filing is made in  
response to ISO,s November 1 filing at FERC to unbundle the GMC applicable 
to  scheduling coordinators.? ISO proposes that the Control Area Services  
Charge be assessed to SCs for all loads behind the end user,s meter, 
including  loads served by on-site generation.? Edison is therefore revising 
Schedule  PX to reflect the use of gross load in the determination of the GMC 
for  self-generating customers.
?
On the same date, Edison filed advice letter 1499-E, which revises Schedule  
PX to reflect an increase to the utility's purchase limits for bilateral and 
BFM  products.? As background, when Edison filed its AL 1429-E last January, 
it  requested that its trading limits be based on its "net short" position 
for the  relevant quarter.? At that time, Edison said that its net short 
position  would likely increase in the future due to further generation 
divestiture or  load growth.? In response to subsequent advice letters, the 
Commission  authorized further increases to the trading limits.? The utility 
cites  FERC,s November 1 Order with regard to the need for the utilities to 
have  greater forward purchasing and risk management tools, load growth and 
the return  of direct access customers as the justification for the 
Commission to increase  the current forward purchase limits.The utility now 
requests that the combined  limits for forward energy and capacity 
procurement be increased to 4,400, 5,800,  9,600 and 6,800 MW for the first 
through fourth quarters, respectively.? In  addition, the utility requests 
further adders, to reflect further divestiture  and QF generation that may 
switch to PX-based pricing, to increase these limits  up to 8,300, 
9,700,13,500 and 10,700 MW for these quarters.? The advice  letter provides a 
series of tables which summarize various events which, should  they occur, 
would enable Edison to automatically increase its purchase limits,  without 
further advice letters.? Instead, the utility would only submit a  compliance 
letter which informed the Commission that the event had occurred and  the 
limits were being increased.
?
Comments are due on December 12.? I don't have an electronic copy of  the 
filings, but if anyone wants a fax, please let me know and I'll send it to  
you tomorrow (am out of the office today without access to a fax).
