UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE

FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION

Southern California Edison Company ) Docket No. EC06-___-000

APPLICATION SEEKING AUTHORIZATION FOR A TRANSFER OF CONTROL OF JURISDICTIONAL FACILITIES

I. INTRODUCTION

Pursuant to section 203 of the Federal Power Act (“FPA”), 16 U.S.C. § 824b (2000), and

Part 33 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (“Commission”) Regulations, 18 C.F.R.

Pt. 33 (2005), Southern California Edison Company (“SCE”) hereby submits this application

(“Application”) seeking Commission authorization for SCE to acquire from the City of

Anaheim, California (“Anaheim”) 3.16 percent undivided interests as tenants in common in

Units 2 and 3 of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (“SONGS”), a nuclear power plant

with a total capacity of 2,150 MW located in San Diego County, California (the “Transaction”).1

Anaheim’s interest in SONGS represents 68 MW.

II. STATEMENT OF ISSUES

1. Does the Transaction satisfy the standards for approval under FPA section 203

and the Commission’s rules and regulations implementing section 203?

Yes. The Transaction does not raise any concerns about adverse effects on competition,

rates, or regulation. Further, the Transaction will not result in the cross-subsidization of a non-

utility associate company or the pledge or encumbrance of utility assets for the benefit of an

1 As used herein, “SONGS” refers only to Units 2 and 3 of the San Onofre Generating

Plant.

associate company. Accordingly, the Transaction is consistent with the public interest, satisfies

the standards for approval under FPA section 203, and should be approved.2

III. BACKGROUND

A. Description of the Parties

1. Southern California Edison Company

SCE is a California corporation engaged in the generation, transmission, and distribution

of electricity. It is a “public utility” within the meaning of the California Public Utilities Code

and the FPA and is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) and this

Commission. SCE is also regulated by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission

(“NRC”) with respect to its ownership and operation of nuclear power plants (including

SONGS). SCE is a Participating Transmission Owner (“PTO”) in the California Independent

System Operator (“CAISO”), having relinquished control of its transmission system to the

CAISO in 1998. SCE provides retail electric service to approximately 13 million customers in a

50,000 square-mile area of central, coastal, and southern California, excluding the City of Los

Angeles and certain other cities.

2. City of Anaheim, California

Anaheim is a municipal corporation in the State of California. Anaheim provides retail

electric services to customers in Orange County, California through Anaheim Public Utilities, a

municipal electric utility. Anaheim is generally not subject to regulation as a “public utility”

under Part II of the FPA because it is a “political subdivision of a State” within the meaning of

FPA section 201(f), 16 U.S.C. § 824a(f). Anaheim has been a PTO in the CAISO since 2003.

B. Description of the Facilities

The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station is a nuclear power plant located on the

California coastline between Los Angeles and San Diego. The plant contains two operating

nuclear reactors. Units 2 and 3 are currently in use; they have a total capacity of 2,150 MW.

Unit 1 was retired in 1992 and is now being decommissioned.3 SONGS is a CAISO must-take

resource. Anaheim’s interest in SONGS extends only to Units 2 and 3 and represents 68 MW.

Anaheim has no interest in the switchyard facilities located at SONGS; these facilities are jointly

owned by SCE and SDG&E. In other words, no transmission facilities are included in the

Transaction.

C. Description of the Transaction

SONGS is currently jointly owned by SCE (75.05%), Anaheim (3.16%), SDG&E (20%),

and City of Riverside (“Riverside”) (1.79%). SCE is the Operating Agent of SONGS. This

Application requests Commission authorization for the acquisition by SCE of Anaheim’s 3.16%

undivided interest in SONGS. After the Transaction closes, SCE will own a 78.21% undivided

interest in SONGS, and SDG&E and Riverside will retain their existing interests. The interests

that will transfer from Anaheim to SCE under the Transaction represent a de minimis amount of

generating capacity -- about 68 MW -- particularly when compared to the 55,000 MW of

capacity in the CAISO market.

3 SCE and San Diego Gas & Electric Company (“SDG&E”) own undivided interests as

tenants in common in Unit 1 of 80% and 20%, respectively.

In 2004, SCE, as Operating Agent of SONGS, declared an operating impairment

associated with steam generator tube degradation, which required replacement of the steam

generators at SONGS. The SONGS Operating Agreement permits a co-owner to opt out of

paying its share of the costs associated with resolving an operating impairment (such as steam

generator replacement) in exchange for a reduction in its ownership share. Anaheim elected to

opt out and have its ownership share reduced. Under the terms of the Operating Agreement,

electing this option would have resulted in Anaheim owning a zero percent interest in SONGS

after completion of the steam generator replacement project.

Anaheim is also interested in reducing its ownership share to zero at an earlier date in

order to make room in its generation portfolio for more renewable resources, which has been

mandated by the State of California. Therefore, in order to help Anaheim meet this renewables

mandate and to resolve issues surrounding the steam generator replacement project, Anaheim

agreed to sell to SCE, and SCE agreed to purchase from Anaheim, all of Anaheim’s participation

interests in SONGS.4 The consideration for the Transaction will be the payment, in cash, by

SCE to Anaheim of the purchase price and the assumption by SCE of certain liabilities. The

terms and conditions governing the transfer to SCE of Anaheim’s 3.16% interest in SONGS are

set forth in the Settlement Agreement Relating to San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station By and

Between Southern California Edison Company and City of Anaheim, dated as of December 20,

2005 (“Settlement Agreement”). Exhibit I contains the Settlement Agreement.

4 Under the SONGS Participation Agreement, the co-owners of SONGS do not have a

right of first refusal with respect to the transfer of any co-owner’s interests in SONGS to another co-owner. That being said, the co-owners of SONGS do have a right of first refusal with respect to a sale to a third party by any co-owner of the co-owner’s interests in SONGS.

IV. THE TRANSACTION IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PUBLIC INTEREST

FPA section 203(a)(1) provides in pertinent part that “No public utility shall, without first

having secured an order of the Commission authorizing it to do so -- (D) purchase, lease, or

otherwise acquire an existing generation facility -- (i) that has a value in excess of $10,000,000;

and (ii) that is used for interstate wholesale sales and over which the Commission has

jurisdiction for ratemaking purposes.” 16 U.S.C. § 824b(a)(1)(D). Anaheim’s interest in

SONGS has a value in excess of $10 million (as shown by the purchase price agreed by SCE and

Anaheim), and SONGS is used for interstate wholesale sales over which the Commission has

jurisdiction for ratemaking purposes. Accordingly, SCE is seeking an order of the Commission

authorizing the Transaction pursuant to FPA section 203(a)(1)(D).

FPA section 203(a)(4), 16 U.S.C. § 824b(a)(4), provides that the Commission “shall

approve” a proposed transaction if it finds that the transaction “will be consistent with the public

interest, and will not result in cross-subsidization of a non-utility associate company or the

pledge or encumbrance of utility assets for the benefit of an associate company, unless the

Commission determines that the cross-subsidization, pledge, or encumbrance will be consistent

with the public interest.” In its Merger Policy Statement, the Commission adopted a three-

pronged test for determining whether a transaction is consistent with the public interest. Under

this test, the Commission examines whether the transaction will adversely affect (1) competition

in the relevant markets; (2) wholesale rates; or (3) the ability of the Commission and pertinent

state commissions to effectively regulate the applicant.5 If the transaction will not have an

5 Merger Policy Statement at 30,111 (1996). The Commission reaffirmed the three-part

test for evaluating applications under FPA section 203 in Revised Filing Requirements Under Part 33 of the Commission’s Regulations, Order No. 642 at 31,873.

Page 9: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY … › sscc › law › dis › dbattach2.nsf › 0 › 9475D9082FD8E… · 13-03-2006  · electing this option would have resulted

- 7 -

adverse effect on any of these three factors, the Commission must find that the transaction is

consistent with the public interest.6

As shown in Sections IV.A, B, and C, below, the Transaction satisfies the three-part test

set forth in the Merger Policy Statement for determining whether a transaction is in the public

interest because it (1) will not have an adverse effect on competition; (2) will not harm any

customers under existing wholesale contracts; and (3) will not impair federal or state regulation.

Therefore, it is consistent with the public interest. Also, as shown in Section IV.D, below, and in

Exhibit M hereto, the Transaction will not cause any improper cross-subsidization or any pledge

or encumbrance of utility assets.

A. The Transaction Will Not Have an Adverse Effect on Competition

1. Anaheim’s Share of SONGS Represents a De Minimis Amount of Generating Capacity and the Transaction Demonstrably Will Not Violate the Commission’s Horizontal Market Power Screening Criteria The Commission generally requires merger applicants under FPA section 203 to prepare

a horizontal competitive screen analysis as set forth in Appendix A to the Merger Policy

Statement to determine whether a proposed transaction will adversely affect competition.7 In

Order No. 642, the Commission made clear that not all section 203 applicants are required to file

an Appendix A analysis: “There are mergers where the filing of a full-fledged horizontal screen

or vertical competitive analysis is not warranted because it is relatively easy to determine that

they will not harm competition.”8 The Commission explained that a section 203 applicant need

6 Applicants are not required to show that a proposed transaction affirmatively benefits

the public interest. Pacific Power & Light v. FPC, 111 F.2d 1014, 1016-17 (9th Cir. 1940); Kansas Power & Light Co., 54 FERC ¶ 61,077 at 61,251-52 (1991).

7 See also 18 C.F.R. § 33.3. 8 Order No. 642 at 31,901.

Page 10: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY … › sscc › law › dis › dbattach2.nsf › 0 › 9475D9082FD8E… · 13-03-2006  · electing this option would have resulted

- 8 -

not provide the full Appendix A competitive screen analysis if “the applicant demonstrates that

the merging entities do not currently operate in the same geographic markets, or if they do, that

the extent of such overlapping operation is de minimis.”9 Because the amount of generation that

SCE will acquire under the Transaction is de minimis, the Transaction is just such an instance

where it is relatively easy to determine that there will be no harm to competition and where a

full-blown horizontal screen analysis is not necessary.

The Transaction is not a merger but instead involves the sale of a small share of SONGS

generating capacity -- only 68 MW. Thus, the Transaction on its face involves the transfer of a

de minimis share of the 55,000 MW capacity in the CAISO market -- about one-tenth of one

percent (0.12%).

In the attached Affidavit, Dr. Fox-Penner evaluates the competitive effects of the

Transaction, and demonstrates that it will not harm competition. Dr. Fox-Penner explains that it

is not necessary, in this instance, to perform a full-blown Appendix A analysis to assess the

impact of the Transaction on market concentration. He calculates the change in the Herfindahl-

Hirschman Index (“HHI”) resulting from the Transaction by updating the Appendix A analysis

he performed and the Commission recently accepted in Docket No. EC05-132, the Nevada-

Silverhawk transaction.10

At pages 8-17 of his Affidavit, Dr. Fox-Penner demonstrates that the change in HHI

resulting from this Transaction would be well within the Commission’s safe harbor thresholds.

Under the Merger Policy Statement, a transaction that causes an HHI change of 50 points or less

9 Id. at 31,902. See also 18 C.F.R. § 33.3(a)(2)(i) (providing that an applicant need not

file a horizontal competitive screen analysis if it “[a]ffirmatively demonstrates that the merging entities do not currently conduct business in the same geographic markets or that the extent of the business transactions in the same geographic markets is de minimis”).

10 Nevada Power Co.,113 FERC ¶ 61,265 (2005).

Page 11: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY … › sscc › law › dis › dbattach2.nsf › 0 › 9475D9082FD8E… · 13-03-2006  · electing this option would have resulted

- 9 -

is deemed unlikely to harm competition even where the market is highly concentrated.11 Dr.

Fox-Penner’s analysis shows that, even using highly conservative assumptions, the change in the

HHI resulting from the Transaction would be less than 30 points for Economic Capacity and less

than 36 points for Available Economic Capacity during any time period. Moreover, the market

in which SCE operates is generally much larger than the geographic market used in the Nevada-

Silverhawk Appendix A analysis case, which focused on the SP-15 zone of the CAISO. At page

11 of the Affidavit, Dr. Fox-Penner explains that: “The Commission can be confident that if the

HHI changes for the SCE-Anaheim transaction are within safe harbor levels when this narrow

market is used for the purposes of my analysis, the transaction causes even smaller impacts on

competition if the market is defined more broadly.” In short, the Transaction involves a de

minimis amount of the generation in the market and will not adversely affect competition.

In similar circumstances, the Commission has concluded that the proposed transaction

raises no horizontal market power concerns and that the applicants need not prepare and submit a

full-blown Appendix A analysis. See Tucson Elec. Power Co., 103 FERC ¶ 62,100 (2003)

(approving transfer without a full-fledged Appendix A analysis where affidavit of economist

demonstrated that, under any reasonable set of assumptions, the increase in HHI would be 35

points or less).12 Because Dr. Fox-Penner concludes that the Transaction would not result in a

market screen failure under any reasonable set of assumptions, no further horizontal market

power analysis should be required to show that the Transaction will not have an adverse effect on

competition.

- 10 -

Dr. Fox-Penner also gives other reasons to support his conclusion that the Transaction

will not harm competition. At pages 6 through 8 of the Affidavit, he explains that nuclear plants

like SONGS generally cannot be ramped quickly and therefore cannot be withheld. Further,

SONGS is a CAISO must-take resource; as Operating Agent for SONGS, SCE is required to

schedule all available output from SONGS every day. In addition, the CPUC reviews California

investor-owned utilities such as SCE to ensure that they meet their electric load obligations in the

least-cost manner. Dr. Fox-Penner also notes that changes in transmission flows resulting from

the Transaction will be extremely minor, making it very unlikely that the Transaction would

have any impact on transmission congestion. Finally, Dr. Fox-Penner explains that SCE’s

supply portfolio is characterized by an unusually large proportion of must-take energy.

2. The Transaction Does Not Raise Any Vertical Market Power Concerns Dr. Fox-Penner explains at page 17 of the Affidavit that the Transaction will have no

effect with respect to vertical market power. SCE’s transmission system is controlled and

operated by the CAISO. Moreover, SCE and its affiliates do not control enough generation sites

or otherwise have the ability to impose generation entry barriers. This observation is supported

by the fact that a number of independent power plants have been built during the last several

years within areas served by SCE or an SCE affiliate. Additionally, the CPUC encourages new

plant construction.

- 11 -

B. The Transaction Will Not Have an Adverse Effect on Rates

Under this prong, the Commission focuses on the protection of “wholesale ratepayers and

transmission customers.”13 In this regard, the Commission evaluates whether the applicants

propose to raise wholesale rates.14 The Transaction will not have an adverse impact on rates

charged to any current SCE wholesale customers. SCE has no wholesale requirements

customers. In addition, none of its cost-based wholesale power sales contracts contains a cost-

of-generation component that embraces SONGS, a formula rate that would permit the pass-

through of any capacity costs related to the generation being acquired under the Transaction, or a

fuel adjustment clause that would automatically track SONGS fuel costs. All other wholesale

customers of SCE are served under market-based rate arrangements, and the Commission has

held that such sales do not raise concerns about the adverse impact that a transaction might have

on rates.15 Finally, the Transaction will have no effect on wholesale transmission rates because

Anaheim has no interest in any transmission facilities associated with SONGS; therefore, the

Transaction will not affect SCE’s transmission-related fixed costs.

C. The Transaction Will Not Impair the Effectiveness of Regulation

Under this prong, the Commission focuses on whether the proposed transaction could

impair regulation by the Commission or by affected states.16 Neither of these concerns is

implicated by the Transaction. The Transaction will not impair or diminish the Commission’s

13 Merger Policy Statement at 30,123.

14 See Cinergy Servs., Inc., 108 FERC ¶ 61,250 at P 13 (2004). See also NEP, 82 FERC ¶ 61,179 at 61,659 (1998) (The Commission’s primary concern under this element of its analysis is “the protection of wholesale ratepayers and transmission customers.”).

15 See, e.g., Destec Energy, Inc., 79 FERC ¶ 61,373 at 62,574-75 (1997).

jurisdiction or regulatory authority in any way. Indeed, the transfer to SCE of Anaheim’s

interests in SONGS will effect a transfer of generation facilities from an entity that is generally

exempt from regulation as a public utility under FPA section 201(f) to an entity that is regulated

by the Commission as a public utility under Part II of the FPA.

State regulatory authority likewise will not be impaired. The Transaction will effect a

transfer from a non-jurisdictional entity (i.e., Anaheim) to a jurisdictional one (i.e., SCE). As

explained in Exhibit L hereto, CPUC approval of the Transaction is not required because

Anaheim is not subject to CPUC jurisdiction. Nonetheless, SCE is subject to CPUC jurisdiction

and is filing with the CPUC an application to establish ratemaking for the SONGS share

represented by Anaheim’s interests.

D. The Transaction Will Not Result in Any Improper Cross-Subsidization or the Pledge or Encumbrance of Utility Assets for the Benefit of an Associate Company The Transaction will not result in any improper cross-subsidization of a non-utility

associate company or a pledge or encumbrance of SCE’s utility assets for the benefit of an

associate company. SCE verifies that the Transaction will not, at the time of Transaction or in

the future, result in: (1) any transfer of facilities between SCE and an associate company; (2) any

new issuance of securities by SCE for the benefit of an associate company; (3) any new pledge

or encumbrance of assets of SCE for the benefit of an associate company; or (4) any new affiliate

contract between SCE and non-utility associate companies, other than non-power goods and

services agreements subject to review under Sections 205 and 206 of the FPA.17 Accordingly,

17 See Order No. 669 at P 169; see also Exhibit M to this Application.

- 13 -

there is no need for the Commission to engage in a detailed examination of cross-subsidization

and encumbrance issues with respect to the Transaction.18

V. REQUIRED INFORMATION UNDER PART 33 OF THE COMMISSION’S REGULATIONS

SCE is submitting the following information pursuant to the filing requirements in 18

F. Section 33.9 -- Proposed Protective Order

Pursuant to section 388.12 of the Commission’s regulations, 18 C.F.R. § 388.112, SCE

requests privileged, non-public treatment of Exhibit No. SCE-2 Panel A to the Fox-Penner

Affidavit. Exhibit No. SCE-2 Panel A contains information on SCE’s 2006 generation resources

which is proprietary, confidential and commercially-sensitive, and the disclosure of which would

cause competitive harm to SCE. The Commission has determined that privileged, non-public

treatment of commercially-sensitive information submitted to the Commission to support a

section 203 application is appropriate.21

Pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 33.9, SCE has attached as Attachment 3 hereto a proposed

protective order, under which the non-public version of the Application would be designated as

Protected Materials. The attached proposed protective order is modeled on both the Chief

Administrative Law Judge’s Proposed Order (amended to reflect the fact that the Commission,

not an Administrative Law Judge, would issue the order) and the Protective Order adopted in

Docket No. EL00-95-045. Due to the commercially-sensitive nature of the privileged material at

issue here, SCE is requesting that the Commission adopt a protective order that prohibits

Competitive Duty Personnel from being Reviewing Representatives. As is typical of such

protective orders, exceptions may be requested by parties that claim that they would be

prejudiced if they were unable to rely on particular personnel that engage in Competitive Duties

as Reviewing Representatives.22 As for non-Competitive Duty Personnel and entities that have

no Competitive Duty personnel, SCE is willing to provide the privileged material pursuant to the

attached proposed protective order upon the execution of a Non-Disclosure Certificate.

SCE’s position on the need to restrict access to the privileged material is shaped by its

experience during the energy crisis and is well supported by economic analysis. SCE is

concerned that any disclosure of information concerning its resource position can have severely

adverse impacts on its native load, as SCE continues to engage in procurement activity over the

next several years. In early 2004, due to concerns that the CPUC would require the disclosure of

data on SCE’s procurement activities, SCE requested that economist Dr. Charles R. Plott from

the California Institute of Technology prepare a detailed scientific study to asses the effect of

disclosure of procurement-related data. His analysis concluded that the release of information

that gives sellers a clearer understanding of a buyer’s demand curve will adversely impact buyers

by raising prices.23

SCE has thus endeavored in every relevant forum -- before this Commission, the CPUC,

and the California Energy Commission -- to protect information concerning its resources and

bundled retail load. The extent of SCE’s concern was evidenced by SCE’s willingness to sue the

CEC in an effort to prevent if from releasing SCE load data. In SCE’s view, there is simply no

reason to subject the ratepayers of California to the risks associated with public disclosure of

information regarding these matters, particularly to Competitive Duty Personnel.

22 A special form of Non-Disclosure Certificate is attached for such personnel.

23 Dr. Plott’s analysis was filed March 1, 2004 at the CPUC in Docket No. 01-10-024.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

BEFORE THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION

Southern California Edison ) Docket No. EC06-___-000 City of Anaheim )

AFFIDAVIT

OF

PETER FOX-PENNER

I. INTRODUCTION, PURPOSE, AND SUMMARY

1.

2.

My name is Peter Fox-Penner. I am a Principal and Chairman of The Brattle Group,

an economic and management consulting firm with offices in Cambridge, MA,

Washington, D.C., San Francisco, CA and London, England. I received a Ph.D. in

Economics from the Graduate School of Business, University of Chicago, as well as

an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the

University of Illinois. I am an economist and manager with two decades of

experience in government and consulting, primarily in the area of regulated utilities.

My statement of qualifications, including testimony I have given over the past four

years, is attached as Exhibit No. SCE-1.

I have been asked by Southern California Edison (SCE or Applicant) to analyze the

competitive effects of SCE’s acquisition of City of Anaheim’s (Anaheim’s) 3.16

percent ownership interests of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3

(SONGS) on wholesale competition in the California Independent System Operator

(CAISO) market.

3.

Based on the following factors, I conclude that the proposed transaction has no

adverse impact on competition. I have drawn this conclusion from the following

analysis:

• De-Minimis: The size of the proposed transaction is about 68 MW.1

This is a relatively insignificant amount of generation when compared

to approximately 55,000 MW of total capacity in the CAISO market.

• Must-Take Status: Although SCE is a majority owner of SONGS

and currently operates SONGS, the resource is must-take capacity,

giving SCE no ability to withhold its output.

• Use of Silverhawk Delivered Price Test (DPT): I have calculated

the impact of the proposed transaction on market concentration using

the recently accepted Silverhawk DPT post-transaction results from

Nevada Power Company’s section 203 filing in Docket No. EC05-

132. The impact of the proposed transaction, measured by the change

in Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), can be calculated by using a

universally accepted formula, involving the pre-existing market share

of SCE and the pre-transaction market share of Anaheim’s 68 MW of

SONGS.

The results of my analysis indicate that the change in market concentration (HHI)

does not exceed 36 points in any time period for Economic Capacity (EC) and

Available Economic Capacity (AEC) measures. This is well within the

Commission’s safe harbor threshold for this type of market of 50 points. Section

33.3 of Order 642 exempts a section 203 applicant from submitting a full DPT

analysis if the applicant can demonstrate that the merging entities do not operate in

the same geographic market, or if they do, that the extent of such overlapping

operation is de minimis.2 In this instance, Applicant is submitting a simplified

equivalent of DPT to ensure that the de minimis conditions of Section 33.3 apply.

The next section of my affidavit describes SCE’s businesses and its obligations along

with the proposed transaction. I discuss factors that greatly reduce the impact of the

transaction in Section III, and explain the framework of the analysis, including main

assumptions used in the Silverhawk DPT analysis and adjustments made to these

assumptions in Section IV. The entire Silverhawk filing, which was originally filed

without any confidentiality restrictions, is attached to and refiled as Exhibit SCE-3

with this affidavit. The results of the analysis and a vertical competitive issue are

discussed in Section V.

II. DESCRIPTION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON AND THE TRANSACTION

SCE is a partially integrated investor-owned utility that primarily serves retail

customers in Southern California. In addition to matters subject to the jurisdiction of

the Commission, nearly all its other electric power industry operations are subject to

regulation and oversight by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).

In 1998 SCE relinquished operational control over its transmission facilities to the

CAISO. In addition to the removal of any real control over transmission access, and

thus any concerns over transmission market power, the CAISO imposes many

Commission-approved rules and procedures on SCE’s and other market participants’

generating resources within the CAISO footprint.

In 1998 SCE also divested many of its previously owned generation facilities. As a

result, SCE buys approximately three-quarters of its power. SCE’s resource

planning and acquisition is subject to extensive CPUC oversight, and all long-term

power purchase contracts require CPUC pre-approval.3 The CPUC requires that

most long-term purchases be procured via competitive solicitations.4 More

significantly, the CPUC recently adopted a “resource adequacy” requirement (RAR)

that requires SCE, the other California IOUs, and all other CPUC-jurisdictional load

serving entities (LSEs) to have capacity, under either ownership or suitable contract,

sufficient to provide a 15 to 17 reserve margin above estimated peak load in each

month.5 According to the CPUC rule, 90 percent of the required capacity must be

owned or purchased at least nine months in advance of the next May-to-September

period. This is often accomplished in the form of quarterly or annual contracts.

Each LSE and IOU must, at some later date, demonstrate that it has filled out the

remaining 10 percent of its requirement.

8.

9.

Because SCE considers the complete list of capacity it owns and controls to be

confidential, I am filing a complete list of SCE’s 2006 owned and controlled

generation resources used in my calculations as a privileged exhibit in Exhibit SCE-2

Panel A. I have used this timely and accurate data on SCE’s resources in place of

the public data on SCE’s resources contained in the Silverhawk filing.

SCE’s affiliate, EME, also jointly owns through subsidiaries, a power plant and QFs

in Washington State and California. EME’s ownership share of capacity from these

projects totals 1,018 MW. Exhibit SCE-2 Panel B lists generating facilities that are

partially owned by EME in the Western Interconnection. Of this, 273 MW is from

EME’s 50 percent interest in Sunrise Power LLC, which owns a 545 MW combined

cycle gas-fired facility in California (Sunrise). Power production from Sunrise,

however, is fully committed under a California Department of Water Resource

(CDWR) contract that is allocated to San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDGE).

Under that CDWR contract, SDGE has the right to schedule and dispatch the full

output of the unit. Thus, there is no uncommitted capacity from this unit available to

SCE.6

002 on November 9, 2004, that under its long-term contracts, Sunrise has no control over the output of its plant and no incentive to withhold output.

10.

11.

12.

EME jointly owns a 50 percent interest in March Point Cogeneration Company,

which operates a 146 MW QF in the Puget Sound control area. March Point’s output

is fully committed to Puget Sound Energy (PSE) through 2011. EME also owns a 50

percent share of 136 MW of several QFs (Coalinga, Mid-Set, Salinas River, and

Sargent Canyon) that are fully committed to Pacific Gas and Electric Company

(PG&E) at least through early 2007.7 I do not allocate these plants to SCE in this

market analysis.

Three EME QFs in the CAISO control area (Kern River Cogeneration Company

(KRCC), Sycamore and Watson) have long-term power purchase agreements with

SCE, which include the output owned by EME’s partners.8 EME also jointly owns

Midway Sunset Cogeneration Company, which operates the 219-MW Midway

Sunset Facility. A portion of the output of Midway Sunset is committed to SCE

while the remainder of the output is committed to PG&E. Finally, Mountainview

Power Company, LLC (MVL), an Exempt Wholesale Generator and SCE’s affiliate,

owns a 1,056-MW natural gas combined cycle power plant in Southern California.

The plant has been on-line since December 2005. The total output of the plant is

under a long-term power purchase contract with SCE at cost-based rates.9 All of the

capacity owned by EME and sold under contract to SCE (shown in Column [16] of

Exhibit SCE-2 Panel B) is fully reflected in my data on SCE’s total generation

capacity in my analysis. All of EME’s remaining capacity is subject to long-term

contracts committed to other buyers and thus is not attributable to SCE for the

purpose of this analysis.

SONGS is a nuclear baseload power plant with a total net dependable capacity of

2,150 MW. Anaheim owns 3.16 percent interest in SONGS 2&3, while SDGE owns

20 percent, the City of Riverside owns 1.79 percent, and SCE owns 75.05 percent.

7 I am informed that Mid-Set’s long-term power purchase agreement with PG&E expired, and it is currently selling to PG&E under a standard offer contract.

8 A twenty-year PPA between KRCC and SCE expired in August 2005, and KRCC is currently selling power to SCE under a five-year standard offer contract.

9 SCE’s long-term purchase contract from MVL has been approved by FERC. 106 FERC¶ 61,183, February 25, 2004.

III. CONSIDERATIONS THAT GREATLY REDUCE TRANSACTION IMPACTS

A. SCE AND ISO SCHEDULING PROTOCOLS

13.

14.

15.

16.

As a general matter, nuclear plants like SONGS cannot be ramped quickly and

therefore cannot be withheld. They can profit from other withholding but cannot be

the source of withholding themselves.

SCE is currently the Operating Agent of SONGS. However, SONGS is an ISO

must-take resource. The scheduling rules for these resources require that SCE

schedule all available output from SONGS every day.

Additionally, in 2002 the CPUC Standard of Conduct 4 (SOC 4) was adopted,

requiring each IOU in California to dispatch its portfolio of existing resources,

allocated CDWR contracts, and new purchases to meet its electric load obligations in

a least-cost manner. To ensure that IOUs’ dispatch and procurement practices are in

compliance with SOC 4, the CPUC conducts a review process known as the Energy

Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) mechanism.10 In ERRA proceedings each IOU

must demonstrate that its dispatch results in the most cost effective mix of total

resources, thereby minimizing the cost of delivering power to customers. SCE’s

least-cost dispatch activities have recently been found to be reasonable and prudent

by the CPUC.11

B. TRANSMISSION FLOWS UNLIKELY TO CHANGE

Anaheim undoubtedly has scheduled its share of SONGS to serve its load. SONGS

has the lowest dispatch cost of all of the plants in Anaheim’s generation portfolio,

which includes jointly-owned coal power plants (Palo Verde, San Juan, and the

Intermountain Project), a jointly-owned natural gas combined cycle plant

(Magnolia), and a peaking gas power plant (Anaheim GT).

17.

18.

19.

20.

21.

Because all of SONGS was scheduled to load in Southern California, the total net

imports into Southern California equal the total demand less total supply in Southern

California.

If Anaheim no longer takes 68 MW baseload power from SONGS and SCE takes 68

MW more, the changes in transmission flows in Southern California will be

extremely minor. SCE will purchase 68 MW less shaped power from the market –

almost certainly imports – but Anaheim will have to purchase about 68 MW more

baseload. The net effect on units inside Southern California or on import flows is

likely to be quite small, as Anaheim’s new imports will nearly match SCE’s old

ones.

This greatly reduces the possibility that this transaction will create opportunities for

strategic transmission congestion or will change congestion patterns so as to create

new submarkets that should be analyzed separately, or will otherwise exacerbate

congestion in Southern California.

C. SCE’S RESOURCES ARE HEAVILY MUST-TAKE AND CAPACITY OPTION CONTRACTS

SCE’s evolving supply portfolio is marked by the fact that it owns or has under

contract an unusually large proportion of “must take” energy. This is due to

California’s past implementation of PURPA (which led to extensive purchases from

Qualifying Facilities (QFs)), a large amount of long-term power purchased by

CDWR that are allocated to SCE, and SCE’s continued ownership of baseload

nuclear and coal plants.

In addition, some of SCE's contracts are capacity option contracts that give SCE a

limited right to schedule power from unaffiliated suppliers' units one day in advance.

If SCE does not exercise this right, the ability to sell this power in hour-ahead

markets reverts to the owner of the unit. As I explained in detail in my testimony in

Docket No. ER02-2263-004 (SCE's application for Triennial Market-Based Rates),

contracts of this nature do not confer the ability to withhold the optioned capacity

Page 7 of 17

from the market. Including the full capacity of these contracts in market share

calculations overstates the impact of these contracts on the instant transaction's

competitive impact. Nevertheless, as shown below, even if all of these contracts are

included in the DPT calculations, this transaction fully satisfies the Commission’s

screening criteria.

IV. FRAMEWORK FOR THE ANALYSIS

A. FERC’S MARKET POWER FRAMEWORK

22.

23.

24.

The Commission requires that a transfer of jurisdictional assets be consistent with

the public interest, and in particular, that it not adversely competition.

To examine the competitive effects of a transaction, the Commission’s Merger

Guidelines require the application of an analytic screen known as a DPT.12 The DPT

determines how much output each potential supplier can deliver into a destination

market at a cost less than or equal to 105% of the prevailing market price for each

generation product. The DPT “is intended to provide a standard, generally

conservative check to allow the Commission, applicants, and intervenors to quickly

identify mergers that are unlikely to present competitive problems.”13

There are several steps involved in the DPT, including (1) identifying the relevant

products and markets that might be affected by the transaction, (2) assessing market

concentration or HHI, and (3) evaluating future entry conditions. Transactions that

pass the screen are usually not scrutinized further, while transactions that fail the

screen are customarily examined in more detail and/or altered to no longer fail the

screens.

Order 642, November 15, 2000. 13 Order No. 642, FERC Stats. & Regs ¶ 31,111 at 31,879.

25.

26.

27.

28.

29.

The Commission also requires that asset transfers not enhance vertical market power,

or market power whose exercise is enabled by the ownership of more than one stage

of production.

Part 33 of the Commission’s Rules and Regulations, as revised by Order 642,

establishes an exemption from filing a full DPT analysis if the applicant can

demonstrate that the merging parties do not currently operate in the same geographic

markets or that the extent of the business transactions in the same geographic market

is de minimis.

In this instance, the proposed transaction is 68 MW. This is a relatively insignificant

amount of generation when compared to 55,000 MW of total capacity in the CAISO

market. Thus, there is no need to perform a full DPT analysis. However, to firmly

establish the absence of significant impacts, I calculate the change in market

concentration resulting from this transaction based on a recently approved DPT

analysis and using a very conservatively defined geographic market.

My analysis is based on my recent DPT analysis in submission of the Silverhawk

Power Plant acquisition for Nevada Power Company and GenWest LLC (the

Nevada-Silverhawk transaction) in Docket No. EC05-132. FERC approved the

transaction on December 15, 2005.14 I refer to this DPT analysis as “the Silverhawk

DPT analysis.” The Silverhawk DPT analysis was conducted in accordance with the

procedures for competitive studies mandated under Federal Power Act Section 203

and set forth in Order No. 592, and updated in Order Nos. 642 and 642-A.15 Exhibit

SCE-3 presents my affidavit, exhibits, and workpapers submitted in the Nevada-

Silverhawk filing.

I calculated the impact of the Nevada-Silverhawk transaction by measuring changes

in HHIs for EC and AEC measures, as required by the Commission’s Section 203

guidelines. Briefly, EC is the total amount of capacity adjusted for long-term firm

capacity commitments that a supplier can deliver to a destination market at a price no

greater than 5 percent above prevailing prices. The EC measure does not take into

account the supplier’s native load commitments. The AEC measure is derived in the

same manner, except that each supplier’s capacity is reduced by that supplier’s

existing native load obligation.

30.

31.

I calculate the impact of this transaction (i.e., SCE-SONGS) for the same two

products (AEC and EC) and 14 time periods as I used in the Nevada-Silverhawk

analysis. For each market (AEC or EC, time period) my calculation begins with

SCE’s share in this defined market as computed in the Nevada-Silverhawk DPT

analysis. I then increase SCE’s market share by adding Anaheim’s 68 MW of

SONGS to SCE’s market share and reducing Anaheim’s market share by the same

amount. As explained below, I also add capacity to SCE’s market share very

conservatively to simulate SCE’s acquisition of added capacity resources it will need

to meet state resource adequacy requirements. I then recompute the HHI to reflect

these changes.16

The change in HHI that results from a particular transaction can be calculated by

using a universally accepted 2AB formula, where A, in this instance, is the existing

market share of SCE, and B is the market share of Anaheim’s 68 MW of SONGS.17

The formula is derived mathematically from the difference between HHIs before and

after a transaction, where an HHI is calculated by squaring market shares of each

supplier competing in the market and summing the results across all suppliers. By

squaring market shares, the index weighs more heavily on large firms than smaller

firms. Thus, an HHI after transaction could become larger if both merging firms are

competing in the same geographic market, stay the same if not, or be lower if a

16 As explained below, I employ an algebraic shortcut to determine the change in HHI from all of these

adjustments. Because it is the change in HHI that triggers the Commission’s thresholds, there is no need to compute actual market shares and other intermediate results in this instance.

transaction caused market shares of a larger firm to become smaller. This impact can

be estimated using the 2AB formula.18

32.

33.

34.

Under the DPT and the Department of Justice/Federal Trade Commission Merger

Guidelines, a transaction that causes an HHI change of 50 points or less is deemed

unlikely to harm competition even where the market is highly concentrated.

B. DATA AND ASSUMPTIONS OF THE SILVERHAWK DPT ANALYSIS

In the Silverhawk DPT analysis, I evaluated the effect of the Nevada Silverhawk

transaction on competition in the SP-15 zone of the CAISO, which I conservatively

labelled “the SP-15 market.” As I explained at length in my testimony in Docket No.

ER02-2263-004 (SCE’s MBR filing), the market in which SCE operates is generally

much larger than SP-15. Therefore it likely is extremely conservative to use SP-15

as the relevant market for the purposes of analyzing the SCE-Anaheim transaction.

The Commission can be confident that if the HHI changes for the SCE-Anaheim

transaction are within safe harbor levels when this narrow market is used for the

purposes of my analysis, the transaction causes even smaller impacts on competition

if the market is defined more broadly This destination market was broken down into

14 distinct time periods, from summer super-peak hours to off peak hours in the four

traditional seasons.19

The test year for the Silverhawk DPT analysis was 2006. This is appropriate for

analyzing the competitive impact of SCE’s SONGS transaction as I am informed that

the transaction is expected to close during this year.

18 For a merger of Firms A and B, HHI∆ = HHI after - HHI before = ( ) 22 ... NBA MSMSMS +++ -

= 2MS222 ... NBA MSMSMS −−− A·MSB. For Firm A’s acquisition of Firm B’s power plant Y, HHI∆ = 2MSY·*(MSA-MSB-Y) where MSY is a market share of power plant Y and MSB-Y is a market share of Firm B’s remaining assets. I conservatively do not estimate the second term of the change HHI (a.k.a. 2MSY·MSB-Y.). This term is greater than or equal to zero, thus causing the change in HHI to be smaller.

19 I defined two super-peak periods for each summer and winter and one super-peak period for spring and fall. Super Peak_50 represents the highest 50 hours of hourly load/prices likely to be observed in a destination market in each season while Super Peak_100 is the next 100 hours of hourly load/prices likely to be observed.

The database underlying the Silverhawk DPT analysis was constructed for 2006.

The dispatch costs data were generally based on the 2004 historical data but were

escalated to 2006. For instance, my 2006 coal prices were based upon plant-specific

fuel prices taken from 2003-2004 Monthly FERC Form 423 and escalated based on

GDP Deflator. For gas prices, I calculate historical seasonal hub-specific gas price

using day-ahead gas prices reported by Gas Daily and then escalate them to 2006

using the percentage change in prices between historical Henry Hub gas price and

the NYMEX 2006 Henry Hub future gas prices as of April 6, 2005.20

Potential suppliers’ hourly loads taken from 2004 FERC Form 714 for the 2003

data21 were calculated according to the 14 time period definitions and then escalated

from 2003 to 2006 levels using the WECC projected load growth for each sub-region

from the WECC’s most recent supply adequacy projection.22 For SCE and other

suppliers in CAISO, their loads were grown using the CAISO projected load growth

with an average annual load growth of 2.5 percent.23 All of these loads were then

adjusted to account for the assumed operating reserves requirement of 7 percent.24

The 2006 generation data were obtained from the NERC Electricity Supply and

The 2004 actual spot energy market prices for the SP-15 trading area were obtained

from Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) daily indices for the SP-15 hub. Prices for all

peak periods were escalated to 2006 using the same escalators as those of my gas

prices while off-peak prices were grown by the GDP Deflator. The SP-15 prices

utilized in the analysis therefore range from $38.01 per MWh in the Fall Off-Peak

(OP) period to $92.59 per MWh in the Winter_50 period.27

The Silverhawk DPT analysis limited the transfer capability into the SP-15

destination market based on Southern California Import Transmission Nomogram

(SCIT), transfer capabilities between SP-15 and neighbouring areas inside SCIT,

(i.e., Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), Comisi\n Federal de

Electricidad (CFE), and Imperial Irrigation District (IID)), as well as transfer

capabilities around Arizona, Nevada, and Utah.28 The 2006 total simultaneous

import limits (SIL) for SP-15 range from 15,408 MW to 16,611 MW, depending on

seasons and time periods. The SIL from SCIT into SP-15 was estimated to be in the

range of 9,220 MW to 10,108 MW while the transfer capabilities into SP-15 from

CFE, LADWP, and IID were 400 MW, 4,056 MW, and up to 2,252, respectively.29

C. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SILVERHAWK DPT ANALYSIS FOR SCE’S SONGS ACQUISITION

The Silverhawk DPT analysis utilized historical public data for SCE’s long-term

contracts. To comply with the CPUC RAR, SCE has already made long-term

purchases as well as the call option contracts discussed in Section III to cover 90

percent of its monthly peak load requirement.30 SCE views the information as

confidential. I therefore have conservatively made adjustments in the Silverhawk

27 The Winter_50 period was defined as the highest 50 hours of hourly spot prices likely to be observed in a

destination market in Winter. 28 Exhibit SCE-3, PP. 49-57 and Workpaper PFP-Trans Ownership Calculation.pdf. 29 Workpaper PFP-Trans Ownership Calculation.pdf, pp 6-11. 30 Triennial MBR filing for Southern California Edison, Docket No. ER02-2263-004, August 29, 2005.

DPT post-transaction results by assuming that SCE purchases enough long-term

capacity to satisfy its RAR.31

42.

43.

In this analysis I assume that SCE makes additional purchases that equal the amount

conservatively needed to satisfy the RAR in each examined seasonal period. Exhibit

SCE-4 presents my adjustments to SCE’s economic capacity as listed in the

Silverhawk DPT analysis for each of the 14 time periods. Column [1] of the exhibit

reflects SCE’s total owned and controlled economic capacity from generating units

or contracts inside and outside SP-15 as reported in the Silverhawk data and that

have their variable costs (marginal cost plus wheeling and losses) less than or equal

to 105% of the prevailing SP-15 market price for each of the 14 time periods. SCE’s

unadjusted economic capacity in this column ranges from 5,995 MW in Fall_OP to

12,061 MW in Summer_50 and Summer_100 periods. Column [2] shows SCE’s

estimated 2006 load plus 7 percent operating reserves obligations. The maximum

load including 7 percent operating reserves for each season, as reported in the

Silverhawk data and also shown in column [3], ranges from 14,156 MW for winter

to 20,186 MW for summer. Because the RAR rules require that SCE have resources

equal to 90 percent of its load plus 15 percent reserves, SCE would need a maximum

of 19,525 MW of capacity during summer.32

Since these resources are procured to satisfy monthly peak demand, it is reasonable

to assume that they are not economic during off-peak periods, i.e., their marginal

costs are above 105% of the prevailing SP-15 off-peak market prices. I therefore

increase SCE’s resources as presented in the Silverhawk DPT analysis by the

amounts shown in Column [5] during on-peak periods only to reflect purchases that I

believe SCE must make to meet CPUC rules for this year. This approach is very

conservative because CPUC rules do not require that all 90% of peak use be

purchased under contracts one year or more in duration. If, for example, SCE

chooses to fulfil its RAR by purchasing power on a quarterly basis, Commission

31 I made a similar adjustment in SCE’s recent triennial MBR filing before the Commission. See Exh. No. SCE-1, Docket No. ER02-2263-004, August 29, 2005.

32 19,525 = [(20,186)/(1.07)]*1.15*.90. I exclude the 7 percent of operating reserves from seasonal maximum load reported in column [3] before I adjust SCE’s resource need to comply with the CPUC RAR.

rules would call for omitting this contracted capacity from SCE’s market share.

However, to be very conservative I assume all SCE purchases are one year or more

and therefore include all of them in my estimated market shares. Figure 1 illustrates

the additional SCE economic capacity I add to reflect purchases to be made for 2006

RAR compliance for each time period under this analysis.

SCE 2006 Economic Capacity in Silverhawk DPT Additional Assumed Purchases To Comply with CPUC RAR

44. This adjustment is highly conservative for several reasons. First, I assume that all of

SCE’s estimated additional capacities are economic during on-peak periods even

though prices of these long-term power purchase contracts could vary and exceed the

prevailing market prices plus 5 percent. Second, in practice these contracts are likely

to be customized or shaped according to load variations and would not necessarily be

delivered as block resources throughout each season. Third, as discussed in Section

IIIC, some of SCE’s capacity purchases are in the form of call options, which under

this Commission’s criteria and basic principles of economics do not count as fully

Page 15 of 17

controlled capacity,33 but my adjustments to SCE’s economic capacity to satisfy the

CPUC RAR requirement treat all contracts as if they were fully controlled capacity.

V. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

45.

46.

47.

48.

Exhibit SCE-5 Panel A presents changes in HHI indices due to the transaction for the

2006 SP-15 market under the EC measure. As explained and also shown in Column

[2] of Exhibit SCE-5 Panel A, I add 2,000 MW to 9,000 MW of additional purchases

as SCE’s economic capacity. I assume that SCE purchases this from existing

capacity in the market. Thus, EC market sizes, which are taken from the post

transaction of the Silverhawk DPT analysis and reported on Column [5], do not

change.

Anaheim’s share of SONGS represents only a small fraction of the SP-15 EC

market, less than 0.4 percent. Consequently, the change in HHI resulting from this

transaction is less than 30 points in all periods for EC. This is shown in the right

most column on Exhibit SCE-5 Panel A.

For AEC, SCE is a net on-peak buyer and therefore has no AEC in majority of the

periods despite an increase in SCE’s resources by 2,000 MW to 9,000 MW due to

assumed RAR purchases. During any period in which SCE has zero AEC, the

acquisition of 68 MW of SONGS does not create an HHI change. This is due to

SCE’s native load obligation. As a result, the changes in HHI resulting from this

transaction for AEC is generally zero, except for some on peak periods. The results

shown in Column [11] of Exhibit SCE-5 Panel B show that the highest change in

HHI is only about 35 points, well below the Commission threshold of either 50 or

100 points, depending upon the degree of post-transaction market concentration.

Overall, I conclude that SCE’s acquisition of 68 MW will have a de minimis effect

on market concentration and the proposed transaction will not harm competition.

50.

In addition, no increase in market power via “vertical” channels arises from this

small transaction. SCE’s transmission system is controlled and operated by the

CAISO. Furthermore, SCE and its affiliates plainly do not control sufficient

numbers of generation sites or have the ability to impose other generation entry

barriers within or outside of their retail service areas. Within their areas, a number of

independent power plants have been built in the last several years. The CPUC also

encourages new plant construction.

This completes my affidavit.

submit to the producing Participant an affidavit stating that, to the best of its knowledge, all Protected Materials and all Notes of Protected Materials have been returned or have been destroyed or will be maintained in accordance with Paragraphs 6. To the extent Protected Materials are not returned or destroyed, they shall remain subject to the Protective Order.

6. All Protected Materials shall be maintained by the Participant in a secure place. Access to those materials shall be limited to those Reviewing Representatives specifically authorized pursuant to Paragraphs 8-9 and 23. The Secretary shall place any Protected Materials filed with the Commission in a non-public file. By placing such documents in a non-public file, the Commission is not making a determination of any claim of privilege. The Commission retains the right to make determinations regarding any claim of privilege and the discretion to release information necessary to carry out its jurisdictional responsibilities. For documents submitted to Commission Litigation Staff (“Staff”), Staff shall follow the notification procedures of 18 C.F.R. § 388.112 before making public any Protected Materials.

7. Protected Materials shall be treated as confidential by each Participant and by the Reviewing Representative in accordance with the certificate executed pursuant to Paragraph 9 or 23. Protected Materials shall not be used except as necessary for the conduct of this proceeding, nor shall they be disclosed in any manner to any person except a Reviewing Representative who is engaged in the conduct of this proceeding and who needs to know the information in order to carry out that person’s responsibilities in this proceeding. Reviewing Representatives may make copies of Protected Materials, but such copies become Protected Materials. Reviewing Representatives may make notes of Protected Materials, which shall be treated as Notes of Protected Materials if they disclose the contents of Protected Materials.

8.(a) If a Reviewing Representative’s scope of employment includes the marketing of energy, the direct supervision of any employee or employees whose duties include the marketing of energy, the provision of consulting services to any person whose duties include the marketing of energy, or the direct supervision of any employee or employees whose duties include the marketing of energy, such Reviewing Representatives may not use information contained in any Protected Materials obtained through this proceeding to give any Participant or any competitor of any Participant a commercial advantage.

(b) In the event that a Participant wishes to designate as a Reviewing Representative a person not described in Paragraph 3(d) above, the Participant shall seek agreement from the Participant providing the Protected Materials. If an agreement is reached that person shall be a Reviewing Representative pursuant to Paragraph 3(d) above with respect to those materials. If no agreement is reached, the Participant shall submit the disputed designation to the Commission for resolution.

9.(a) A Reviewing Representative shall not be permitted to inspect, participate in discussions regarding, or otherwise be permitted access to Protected Materials pursuant to this Protective Order unless that Reviewing Representative has first executed a Non-Disclosure Certificate provided that if an attorney qualified as a Reviewing Representative has executed such a certificate, the paralegals, secretarial and clerical personnel under the attorney’s instruction, supervision or control need not do so. A Reviewing Representative Competitive Duty Personnel A copy of each Non-Disclosure Certificate shall be provided to counsel for the Participant asserting confidentiality prior to disclosure of any Protected Material to that Reviewing Representative.

(b) Attorneys qualified as Reviewing Representatives are responsible for ensuring that persons under their supervision or control comply with this order.

10. Any Reviewing Representative may disclose Protected Materials to any other Reviewing Representative as long as the disclosing Reviewing Representative and the receiving Reviewing Representative both have executed a Non-Disclosure Certificate. In the event that any Reviewing Representative to whom the Protected Materials are disclosed ceases to be engaged in this proceeding, or is employed or retained for a position whose occupant is not qualified to be a Reviewing Representative under Paragraph 3(d), access to Protected Materials by that person shall be terminated. Even if no longer engaged in this proceeding, every person who has executed a Non-Disclosure Certificate shall continue to be bound by the provisions of this Protective Order and the certification.

11. Subject to Paragraph 18, the Commission shall resolve any disputes arising under this Protective Order. Prior to presenting any dispute under this Protective Order to the Commission, the parties to the dispute shall use their best effects to resolve it. Any Participant that contests the designation of materials as protected shall notify the party that provided the Protected Materials by specifying in writing the materials whose designation is contested. This Protective Order shall automatically cease to apply to such materials five (5) business days after the notification is made unless the designator, within said 5-day period, files a motion with the Commission, with supporting affidavits, demonstrating that the materials should continue to be protected. In any challenge to the designation of materials as protected, the burden of proof shall be on the Participant seeking protection. If the Commission finds that the materials at issue are not entitled to protection, the procedures of Paragraph 18 shall apply. The procedures described above shall not apply to protected materials designated by a Participant as Critical Energy Infrastructure Information. Materials so designated shall remain protected and subject to the provisions of this Protective Order, unless a Participant requests and obtains a determination from the Commission’s Critical Energy Infrastructure Information Coordinator that such material need not remain protected.

12. All copies of all documents reflecting Protected Materials, including the portion of the hearing testimony, exhibits, transcripts, briefs and other documents which refer to Protected Materials shall be filed and served in sealed envelopes or other appropriate containers endorsed to the effect that they are sealed pursuant to this Protective Order. Such documents shall be marked “PROTECTED MATERIALS” and shall be filed under seal and served under seal upon the Commission and all Reviewing Representatives who are on the service list. Such documents containing Critical Energy Infrastructure Information shall be additionally marked “Contains Critical Energy Infrastructure Information - Do Not Release.” For anything filed under seal, redacted versions or, where an entire document is protected, a letter indicating such, will also be filed with the Commission and served on all parties on the service list. Counsel for the producing Participant shall provide to all Participants who request the same, a list of Reviewing Representatives who are entitled to receive such material. Counsel shall take all reasonable precautions necessary to assure that Protected Materials are not distributed to unauthorized persons.

13. If any Participant desires to include, utilize or refer to any Protected Materials or information derived therefrom in testimony or exhibits during the hearing in this proceeding in such a manner that might require disclosure of such material to persons other than Reviewing Representatives, such Participant shall first notify both Counsel for the disclosing Participant and

Page 67: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY … › sscc › law › dis › dbattach2.nsf › 0 › 9475D9082FD8E… · 13-03-2006  · electing this option would have resulted

-5-

the Commission of such desire, identifying with particularity each of the Protected Materials. Thereafter, use of such Protected Material will be governed by procedures determined by the Commission.

14. Nothing in this Protective Order shall be construed as precluding any Participant from objecting to the use of Protected Materials on any legal grounds.

15. Nothing in this Protective Order shall preclude any Participant from requesting the Commission, or any other body having appropriate authority, to find that this Protective Order should not apply to all or any materials previously designated as Protected Materials pursuant to this Protective Order. The Commission may alter or amend this Protective Order as circumstances warrant at any time during the course of this proceeding.

16. Each party governed by this Protective Order has the right to seek changes in it as appropriate from the Commission.

17. All Protected Materials filed with the Commission, or any other judicial or administrative body, in support of, or as a part of, a motion, other pleading, brief, or other document, shall be filed and served in sealed envelopes or other appropriate containers bearing prominent markings indicating that the contents include Protected Materials subject to this Protective Order.

disclosure of requested data might be inappropriate for review by Competitive Duty Personnel, as defined in Paragraph 23. Any challenge to such designations may be made as provided in this Protective Order for challenges to designations of materials.

23. Solely with respect to Protected Materials that have been marked “Not Available to Competitive Duty Personnel” (and information derived therefrom), a Reviewing Representative may not include any person whose duties include (i) the marketing or sale of electric power at wholesale, (ii) the purchase or sale of electric power at wholesale, (iii) the direct supervision of any employee with such responsibilities, or (iv) the provision of electricity marketing consulting services to entities engaged in the sale or purchase of electric power at wholesale (collectively, “Competitive Duties”).

EXHIBIT G

DESCRIPTION OF JURISDICTIONAL FACILITIES

SCE owns an extensive interconnected transmission system consisting of about 3,500

circuit miles of 220 kV lines (all located in California), 1,238 circuit miles of 500 kV lines (1040

miles in California, 86 miles in Nevada, and 112 miles in Arizona), 851 substations, and other

lower-voltage transmission facilities. SCE transferred operational control of its transmission

facilities to the CAISO effective April 1, 1998.

SCE divested most of its generating facilities in the late 1990s pursuant to California

restructuring initiatives. As a result, SCE is a net purchaser of power and all of the generating

facilities currently owned by SCE are used to serve native load. As stated in Section III.C of the

Application, SCE owns an undivided 75.05% interest in SONGS. It owns and operates 36

hydroelectric plants (1,153 MW) located in California, three of which (2.7 MW) are no longer

operational and will be decommissioned, and a diesel-fueled generating plant (9 MW) located on

Santa Catalina island off the southern California coast. It holds an undivided 56% interest (885

MW) in the Mohave Generating Station (“Mohave”), a coal-fired generating plant in Nevada.

Mohave ceased operating on December 31, 2005, and has no definite return to service date. SCE

also owns a 48% undivided interest (710 MW) in Units 4 and 5 of the Four Corners Generating

Station in New Mexico and a 15.8% share (601 MW) of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating

Station in Arizona; neither of these plants is operated by SCE. An SCE subsidiary,

Mountainview Power Company, LLC, an Exempt Wholesale Generator, owns a 1,054 MW

natural gas combined cycle power plant in southern California. Another SCE affiliate, Edison

Mission Energy (“EME”), indirectly owns shares in a power plant and qualifying facilities

EXHIBIT L

REGULATORY APPROVALS

A. CPUC

SCE is filing an application at the CPUC to establish ratemaking for Anaheim’s share of

SONGS. In that application, SCE requests the CPUC (1) to find that SCE’s ratepayers will

benefit from an early transfer of Anaheim’s share of SONGS to SCE; (2) to add $24.070 million

to SCE’s revenue requirement to provide rate recovery for Anaheim’s share of SONGS operating

and decommissioning costs; and (3) to reduce SCE’s revenue requirement for electricity

procurement. The early transfer of Anaheim’s share of SONGS is not itself subject to CPUC

review and approval, because Anaheim is not subject to CPUC jurisdiction. As such, California

Public Utilities Code Section 851 does not apply to this transfer. Nonetheless, CPUC approval

of rate recovery for SONGS operating and decommissioning costs associated with Anaheim’s

former share of SONGS is a required regulatory approval.

B. NRC

SCE is filing an application with the NRC requesting approval of the transfer to SCE of

Anaheim’s interest in SONGS, pursuant to Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as

amended, and 10 C.F.R. § 50.80.

C. California State Lands Commission

SCE plans to request approval from the California State Lands Commission (“CSLC”) of

the transfer to SCE of Anaheim’s interest in SONGS.

If the CPUC, NRC, or CSLC issues an order pertaining to the Transaction during the

pendency of this Application, SCE will supplement the Application promptly with a copy of

such order.

EXHIBIT M

VERIFICATION THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION WILL NOT RESULT IN CROSS-SUBSIDIZATION OR PLEDGE OR ENCUMBRANCE OF UTILITY ASSETS

SCE hereby incorporates by reference the explanations and verifications provided in

Section IV.D of the Application, which provide assurances, as required by 18 C.F.R. § 33.2(j),

that the Transaction will not result in cross-subsidization of a non-utility associate company or

pledge or encumbrance of utility assets for the benefit of an associate company.

SCE verifies that the Transaction does not at the time of the Transaction, and will not in

the future, result in (1) any transfer of facilities between a traditional utility associate company

with wholesale or retail customers served under cost-based regulation and an associate company;

(2) any new issuance of securities by a traditional utility associate company with wholesale or

retail customers served under cost-based regulation for the benefit of an associate company; (3)

any new pledge or encumbrance of assets of a traditional utility associate company with

wholesale or retail customers served under cost-based regulation for the benefit of an associate

company; or (4) any new affiliate contract between a non-utility associate company and a

traditional utility associate company with wholesale or retail customers served under cost-based
