the cpuc held work shops on january 16 and 17. on that exit fee reform, we're now preparing testimony, getting ready for hearings on that case. we've been in strong collaboration with cal c.c.a., the rest of the community choice aggregators that are operating in the state and planning to operate. so we're putting together a nice team, a good approach, i think. the staff of the cpuc, i mentioned last time, a draft resolution on resource adequacy in december and i just wanted to report that we've been active on that. the stated objective of that resolution is to avoid cost shifts from departing customers to remaining customers. remaining utility customers by aligning the expansion of c.c.a.s and the startup dates of those expansions and new programmes with the p.u.c.'s planning cycle for setting resource a adequacy obligations. we filed comment and reply comments both as the city on our own and in collaboration with cal c.c.a. so everything has been submitted to the cpuc for their consideration. they've indicated that they intend to

so we are advocating at the cpuc to make sure that all the costs of the solar choice programme are being borne by solar choice customers. >> ms. hale, can you comment on other c.c.a.s, how they're dealing with their rates and pg&e? >> mm-hmm. so i'm seeing -- as i work with the other c.c.a. directors, i'm seeing that all of them are talking about rates and their programmes as being competitive. recognizing that through the course of a year, they are not always going to be charging a rate that results in a bill that is lower than if a customer had stayed with pg&e. there is a general recognition, i think, within this growing second is to of the industry that the growing proposition offer a customer is more than just that bill component. it really comes down to broader services as well and responsiveness to customer needs, that local investment is key for all the other c.c.a.s as well. the other c.c.a.s don't have as high a participation rate in their 100% offering. so they aren't as active in a debate we're engaged in on the solar choice offering that pg&e has. >> interesting. >> i would
