SUPERVISOR. SECOND DISTRICT
SAN DIEGO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVESORS

December 4, 2015

Michael Picker, President

California Public Utilities Commission
505 Van Ness Avenue

Sacramento, CA 94102

Dear President Picker:

As Supervisor of the Second Supervisorial District in San Diego County, I am
writing to express my opposition to San Diego Gas Electric?s notice of
intent to form an independent marketing district to lobby against community choice
aggregation (CCA). real intent is to signi?cantly endanger the prospects
for CCA in San Diego County and also sidestep State law, which explicitly
prohibits 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 10w. current monopoly does not provide
ratepayers the ?exibility to choose their energy provider while, consequently, it
allows 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. 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 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.

 

Supervisr, Second District
