PGc; Rhould propose at least one, TOU rate structure
along the lines of those presented by LGC.in this proceeding. PG&E
should also consider changing 'the'winter on -peak period and/or
Implementing a stimyer-winter pricing differential. Alternatively, a`.
Variation in the on -peak and off-peak periods by climate zones may be
desirable to target the on -peak pricing incentives -to the periods when
customers have the largest discretionary electric loads.

We adopt the PG&E method. Since PG&E provides the
r majority of secondary distribution .. service to the master meter in
overhead fashion, t is: reasonable to assume that if PG&E extend s .e��
service beyond the master meter it would also use.overhead service.
Therefore, we adopt the figure of $v7.57' per space per month for the
G
electric master meter allowance-.
The next issue is what form the allowance should
f
tate. Presently it is a percentage discount of lifeline sales. PG&E
proposes to maintain this form of the discount. Its chief attribute is
that it prevents overpaying mobilehome parks due to vacant spaces.
t-
Its major drawback is that the percentage discount needs to be
recalculated at every rate change and this presents an additional issue
subject to contest during each offset proceeding.
ikl
The WMA proposes that the flat rate discount be
adopted, noting that it is much less controversial and is then easily
applied. It also notes that there are special conditions in both the
DT and GT schedules that require the mobile home park owner to notify
