Item 8.01 - Other Events
2015 Gas Transmission and Storage (“GT&S”) Rate Case
As previously disclosed, on September 15, 2014, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the “Utility”) notified the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) and the CPUC administrative law judge ("ALJ") overseeing the Utility's GT&S rate case that the Utility believes that some communications between the Utility and CPUC personnel violated the CPUC's rules prohibiting certain ex parte communications. On September 25, 2014, the CPUC's acting chief ALJ, who is temporarily overseeing the 2015 GT&S rate case until a new ALJ is assigned, suspended the procedural schedule which had previously called for evidentiary hearings to begin on October 6, 2014. The prior schedule also contemplated a final decision to be issued around March 2015. (The CPUC has previously issued an order to allow any revenue requirement changes adopted in the final decision to become effective on January 1, 2015.) A prehearing conference will be scheduled to discuss a revised procedural schedule.
In addition, the Utility has been ordered to appear at a hearing to be held before a CPUC ALJ on October 7, 2014 to show cause why the Utility should not be held in contempt and punished for the prohibited ex parte communications in the GT&S rate case that the Utility identified and reported to the CPUC. See the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by PG&E Corporation and the Utility on September 15, 2014 for more information.
