RPCM. None required. Alice M_ Re mci►e City Clerk AMR/imp Pacific Gas and Electric Company 77 3eaie St; eet San Francisco. CA 94106 r. n November 7, 1991 TO: THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OFFICIALS = Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has filed Application No. 91-11-00L wish the California Public Utilities Commission (CPrJC) in which it requests authority for an overall decrease to its natural gas rates. PG&E seeks authority to decrease its rates by $55.8 million, or approximately 1.1 percent, for a two-year period beginning August 1, 1992. The rate changes consist of an increase in core (residential and core commercial) rates of $146.1 million, or 4.2 percent, and a decrease in noncore rates of $206.5 million, or 14.2 percant. To better reflect how cuatomer classes incur costs, we are proposing new cost allocation methods which increase residential costs 4.6%- The proposed,changes to total gas rates reflect a forecasted decrease in costs to buy gas, and an increase in costs to transport gas. The Commission will hold hearings on the proposed rate changes eariy next year. Parties at those hearings may offer proposals to the CPUC which differ substantially from those requested by the utility. After considering all proposals presented during the formal hearing process, the Commission will issue a decision. The actual rates and revenue requirement adopted by the Commission may differ significantly from PG&E's original request and nay result in an increase or decrease in rates. If you wish to participate in the hearings or need advice, please write to the Public Advisor, California Public Utilities Commission at 505 Van Ness Avenue, Room 5303, San Francisco, California, 94102. Inquiries about the date, time and place of hearing on the Application may be directed to the. Public Advisor.

PACI :FA COMPANY BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA _ _0 Application of PACIFIC A�S AND ELECTRIC) - c� COMPANY For Authority, Other Things, To Increase Its Rates And ) Applicatioizc-,"; , C h a r g e s For Electric And Gas Service ) No. 91-11-.0 1_s (Electric and G a s) ( U 39 K) NOTICE OF FILING December 5, 1991 TO: THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL, DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES, STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OFFICIALS AND INTERESTED PARTIES PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY (PG&E) filed Application No. 91-11-036 on November 26, 1991, with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC or Commission) requesting authority to increase its base electric and gas rates. The requested 1993 general rate adjustment would incn�,ase electric revenues by $610 million, or 8.2%, and gas revenues by $222 million, or 8.7% for a combined total of $832 million, over rates presently in effect. The amount of the revenue increase proposed in this application to be effectilrs January 1, 1993 is expected to be reduced by several anticipated base revenue adjustments which are expected to be effective on January 1, 1992, including the Commission's decision on November 20, 1991 to reduce the adopted Return on Equity (ROE) from the 1991 level to 12.65 percent for 1992. In addition, the operational attrition adjustment for 1992, and the expansion of Customer Energy Efficiency (CEE) programs will also offset this request. After taking into account the above anticipated adjustments, the expected increase over 1992 revenues is $527 million, ($408 million electric and $119 million gas) or about 50. This change in revenues is necessary to recover the costs of owning and operating facilities and complying with governmental orders required to provide electric and gas r•� service to customers. These costs include all non -Fuel operation and maintenance expenses, state and federal taxes, and depreciation. The increase also reflects the effects of inflation on PG&E's costs. Also included are the costs of major additions needed to improve air quality, expansion of the customer energy efficiency program, and other costs of conducting business in a manner consistent with environmental protection and improvement. The requested increase excludes any costs of nuclear operations except decommissioning and storage. The state, counties, and municipal corporations, and any other parties interested in the above-mentioned filing can obtain a copy of Application No. 91-11-036 and related exhibits upon written request made to Kermit R. Kubitz, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, 77 Beale Street, Room 3022, San Francisco, CA 94106. This notice is given in accordance with Rule 24 of the Rule of Practice and Procedure of the CPUC.
