The proposed decision:

"At the July 27, 2009 Public Participation Hearing, several speakers expressed concern about PG&E's use of energy efficiency funds to lobby against forming Community Choice Aggregators. While we have no clear evidence in the record on this point, we will require utilities not to use energy efficiency funds in any way which would discourage or interfere with a local government's efforts to consider or to become a Community Choice Aggregator." >>>

The CPUC gave in to electrical utilities' demands for $82 million in bonuses even though the utilites missed their eneregy efficiency targets.

CPUC gave into the electrical utilities' demands for millions$$ in bonuses though the utilites missed their eneregy efficiency targets. Utilities demanded in March 09 that the commission ignore the rest of the EE evaluation reports, & gave the utilities hundreds of $$ millions more EE profits in 09 and 10. Customers of PG&E, So Cal Gas, San Diego Gas & Electric, had their bills increase to pay for this.

A better solution: Cancel EE profits end utility control of EE, put people in charge who really want to save energy! >>> and 4 relevant Videos >>>
