Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) Inputs and Methodologies (A.14-05-024)

March 8, 2016
10 am – 3 pm / California Public Utilities Commission
505 Van Ness Avenue, Auditorium
(Corner of Van Ness Avenue and McAllister Street)
San Francisco, CA 94102

This Workshop will discuss the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) Inputs and Methodologies pursuant to CPUC Decision D.15-12-022. To help make this workshop as productive and effective as possible, attendees are invited to send responses to the following prompts/questions to Will Maguire at no later than end of day 2/16/16. The responses will be shared with the service list for A.14-05-024 ahead of the workshop and may be incorporated into the workshop agenda.

Please indicate your understanding of how the PCIA is calculated, identifying, in as much details as possible, each input to that calculation.

Do you believe the current PCIA methodology should be changed? If so, how and why? Please be as specific as possible.

How should the CPUC address the potential departure from bundled service of a very large load, such as the City of San Diego or County of Los Angeles? Would transferring contractual responsibility from an IOU to a CCA be an option?

Should Direct Access (DA) customers and Community Choice Aggregator (CCA) customers be treated differently vis-à-vis the PCIA? If so, why and how?

Can transparency regarding the calculation of the PCIA be increased while protecting valid interests in keeping certain information confidential?

Although a quorum of Commissioners may be in attendance, no decisions will be made at this Workshop.
