general manager harrington: good afternoon, commissioners. ed harrington. since we are towards this, we thought we should come back so that we would not be bringing a contract to you. what we wanted to do for your sake but also for the public to have not had a chance to look at this is to do a brief recap of how we got here, and then we would have mike campbell do a discussion about where we are with these negotiations, what the goals are, where we now are, and then have another come and talk about the parts of it. the first part is, again, what we want to do is review the history. we want to talk about the program goals and put that up on the screen, as that would be great, and then the outstanding issues, and then the next step, the timeline to launch this, and in the financial overview. briefly, cta allows the services. they do not take over the p.g. in the delivery of the energy, metering, and billing. -- do not take over the pg&e delivery. it provides a different electricity source. they still do the distribution. you would still call them if you need

harrington was noting. there is a different variety that we can utilize under grenoble's which is the -- that we can utilize. you can -- electricity comes off those panels. there is firm renewal bills which is the bulk of the product we will be purchasing. -- renewable switches the bulk of the product we will be purchasing. there is the tradeable renewable energy credits. all the sources would qualify as renewable under the california energy commission's guidelines. and all are the types of resources that count toward rps. in terms of developing the grenoble's over time, we are envisioning we would be operating on a parallel path. the process would develop city owned resources. the term sheet for the contract is similar. the opportunity is to substitute resources. we could replace an existing resource. we also in terms of talking about, we will get to customer enrollment later. we talked about phasing in customers, adding to the program over time. we can plan for having generation be available, using a new

i would assume, director harrington, would love to get this off his plate by now. i just would assume that after everything he's done to evolve with this process. and we appreciate his stick to itness in years, mr. campbell, and p.u.c., but lafco, we're dogged about this. so to not expect this conversation to take this total quality would be fool hearty foolhardy because this is the year this must be done. this is a time where i think people will appreciate the contrast between what woe have to offer and what pg&e cannot. and i think this is absolutely the right time, where sentiment i think in the public, general public, would be i think receptive to something we had to offer. there's nothing stopping this from this program succeeding but that must require these two organs of sfee hall to come together. and there's something that seems to be amiss every time we get to this one place. it worries me. so the commission, if it's a new p.u.c. commissioners, i'm feeling like this is the dog ate my homework excuse. get them in the room with us so we can make sure that we
