Southern California Generation Coalition v. California Public Utilities Commissi
On March 17, 2008, this court issued a Writ of Review to consider a Decision of respondent California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approving a proposal by real parties in interest Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) and San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) to establish a system of firm access rights (FAR) to allocate transmission capacity of natural gas from upstream pipelines through receipts points into the SoCalGas and SDG&E integrated natural gas transmission system. Court affirm D.06-12-031 and D.07-09-046 and dismiss the writ petition. The CPUC supported the conclusion that the time was ripe for adoption of the FAR system in Southern California with separately stated findings of fact on a number of material issues, and those findings of fact were supported by substantial evidence. In addition, the set-asides granted to some, but not all, of the customers of SoCalGas and SDG&E were reasonable under the circumstances.
