SDG&E’s real intent is to significantly endanger the prospects for CCA in San Diego County and also sidestep State law, which explicitly prohibits SDG&E from opposing CCA. CCA provides the best prospect for keeping energy costs down. The ability for ratepayers to select their energy provider creates competition in the market and, by default, will keep energy costs low. SDG&E’s current monopoly does not provide ratepayers the flexibility to choose their energy provider while, consequently, it allows SDG&E to set their own prices and increase revenue at the ratepayer’s expense. SB 790 prohibits utilities from using ratepayer money to market and/or lobby against CCA. SDG&E’s notice of intent is an obvious and clear cut way to skirt State law and directly oppose CCA just as CCA is gaining momentum throughout the State, The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) needs to step up and reject SDG&E’s latest attempt to do whatever it takes, including circumventing State law, to stop CCA before it even has a chance to prove its success in San Diego County. Thank you in advance for your consideration, Supervisbr, Second District DJ:mpivt 1600 Paine Hay, Roow 385» San Doo, Cauronnn 921012670 1) 01-9808 « Po (618) 696-7258 «Tos res: 800.852.7522, 250 €, Man Sect, Sue 169.
