NOTICE OF EX PARTE COMMUNICATION BY THE CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY AND THE SIERRA CLUB

Pursuant to Rule 8.3 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Sierra Club submit this notice of ex parte communication of matters related to this proceeding. On November 13, 2008, Brian Nowicki and Steven Siegel of the Center for Biological Diversity and Micah Mitrosky of the Sierra Club attended an all-party meeting held by Commissioner Grueneich. The meeting occurred between 2:30 and 4:00 Pacific time at the Commission offices at 505 Van Ness Avenue. Mr. Nowicki and Ms. Mitrosky attended in person; Mr. Siegel by telephone. During the meeting, Ms. Mitrosky summarized a letter sent to Commissioner Grueneich and the service list by email on November 12, 2008. Mr. Siegel noted that he has spoken to several people in Minnesota who were involved in the Minnesota proceeding referenced in the alternative proposed decision and each person described implementation of the conditions of the subject transmission line as successful; emphasized the need for enforceable conditions that clearly provide the amount of energy to be delivered by a date certain and defined consequences if the requirement is not met; and highlighted that if SDG&E intends to achieve the 33% renewable standard in the manner described in the Commission’s October 2008 RPS quarterly report, then the

recommendation of the Center and Sierra Club is close to what SDG&E has offered to do since the RPS report states all new energy procurement must be from renewable sources. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Steven Siegel ________ Steven Siegel On behalf of the Sierra Club and Center for Biological Diversity 3421 Park Place Evanston, IL 60201 Phone: (619) 241-6409 Email: [email protected]
