2477-E, which the Director of Energy Division accepted, effective February 23, 2004,
by a letter dated December 17, 2004.
In D.04-12-048, the Commission extended PG&E’s short-term plan authority
stating that “[a]s for the STPPs, the 2006 LTPPs will contain the features of the Short-
Term Plans that are not covered by the proposed 2004 LTPPs. That is, ultimately, we
will eliminate the STPPs and the IOUs will act in accordance with a single
Commission-approved plan. Until then, the existing STPPs will be in effect.” 20
In addition, in D.04-12-048, the Commission ruled that “[a]ny updates to the
existing STPPs should be filed with an AL 30 days after issuance of this decision.” 21
Accordingly, on January 18, 2005, PG&E filed Advice Letter 2615-E to update its
2005 STPP. In the advice letter, PG&E provided an updated list of products it
intended to use in 2005 and incorporated all products approved by the Commission in
D.04-12-048. By letter dated March 24, 2005, the Director of Energy Division
notified PG&E that its advice letter was effective as of January 18, 2005.
On October 4, 2006, PG&E filed Advice Letter 2910-E to update its STPP
with a revised list of authorized brokers and exchanges. Commission action on this
advice letter is pending. PG&E will continue to update its STPP by advice letter until
the Commission adopts PG&E’s 2006 LTPP.
5. The 2004 Long-Term Procurement Plan
PG&E submitted a long-term procurement plan to the Commission on July 9,
2004. PG&E’s 2004 LTPP covered the period from 2005-2014. In D.04-12-048, the
Commission determined that PG&E’s 2004 LTPP was reasonable 22 and authorized
PG&E “to enter into short-term, mid-term, and long-term contracts, with contract
delivery start date[s] through 2014, provided that [PG&E] submit[s] the necessary
compliance filings.” 23 The Commission also ordered the IOUs to “submit a
compliance filing updating their procurement plans to reflect the changes and
modifications adopted in today’s decision.” 24
