Item 8.01 Other Events

2017 General Rate Case

On August 30, 2016, the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) held a workshop (the “Workshop”) in the Utility’s 2017 General Rate Case (“GRC”).  As previously disclosed, on August 3, 2016, the Utility and other settling parties jointly submitted a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to the CPUC in the GRC.  In accordance with the August 10, 2016 Second Amended Scoping Memo, the overall purpose of the Workshop was to allow the assigned CPUC commissioner, the assigned administrative law judge, and other interested parties to pose questions to the Utility and other settling parties regarding the Settlement Agreement.  The Utility and the parties also discussed post-test years 2018 and 2019, including capital expenditures and rate base amounts, and two contested issues: a third post-test year or “attrition” year for this GRC cycle (i.e. for the year 2020) and whether the Utility should be authorized to establish a new balancing account for costs arising from the CPUC’s rulemaking on natural gas leak abatement (Rulemaking 15-01-008).

Evidentiary hearings are scheduled to be held on September 1-2, 2016.  Under the current schedule, a proposed decision is expected to be released in January 2017, and a final CPUC decision is expected to be issued in February 2017.
