Dear Commissioner,

Re:  Items 52 & 57

Please vote for zero profits — or better yet, penalties — for utilities’ failed 2006-08 energy efficiency programs.  And instead of extending the so-called “risk/reward” system for utilities in the future (minus the supposed “risk”), please cancel their monopoly and establish an independent EE system.  Of if for some reason you don’t want to hold utilities accountable, please hold these items for new Commissioners to decide after Gov. Brown takes office.

And lastly, please reject the Energy Division proposal to give credit to utilities for energy efficiency work performed by local governments that is funded with the federal stimulus as well as ratepayer dollars.  Local governments should get the credit — and utilities should never ever get profits on federal stimulus money!

Isn’t it time to set energy efficiency free from utility monopolies?  They have such an obvious conflict of interest!  The first-ever fully independent evaluation of the big investor-owned-utilities’ EE programs shows that PG&E, Edison and SDG&E fell so far short of their targets in 2006-08 that they deserve steep penalties. According to the CPUC's Department of Ratepayer Advocates, current program rules would require PG&E shareholders to pay a penalty of more than $77 million dollars; Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric should pay penalties too.

California touts its energy efficiency programs as the best in the world. Let's actually walk the talk!
