4/30, the 7:00 am forecast from 2 days prior was used for 4/13, and the 7:00 am forecast
from 3 days prior was used for 4/14. In addition, the 5:00 am forecast was used for 4/15
instead of the 7:00 am forecast. Moreover, due to the SDG&E estimated actual AMI data
missing from 4/11 to 4/14, the recorded MCS data were used in place of the AMI data for
those days.

Part of the load forecast error can be explained by the forecast error in temperature
provided by the third party vendor.
The Retail Core estimated actual demand for SDG&E is the daily AMI core data (including
company use), to which an estimated LUAF has been added.
% Difference = (Forecast - Estimated Recorded) / (Estimated Recorded)
Forecast and Estimated Actual data are for retail core (core sales) only and include
company use and loss & unaccounted for gas.
The retail core estimated actual demand for SoCalGas is the physical residual after
subtracting noncore and core transport agents (CAT) physical gas demand from the
measured daily total system gas sendout, which has been converted to Dth using a 1.0273
MDth/MMcf heat rate (core average monthly heat rates have ranged from 1.02 to 1.04
MDth/MMcf). The CAT demand is estimated based on the historical CAT usage per meter
with its meter growth assumption.

Daily Core Demand Forecast Performance Report for August 2017Combined SoCalGas and SDG&E
Confidential and Protected Materials Pursuant to PUC Section 583, GO-66C, and D.16-08-024
Part of the load forecast error can be explained by the forecast error in temperature
provided by the third party vendor.
The Retail Core estimated actual demand for SDG&E is the daily AMI core data (including
company use), to which an estimated LUAF has been added.
% Difference = (Forecast - Estimated Recorded) / (Estimated Recorded)
Forecast and Estimated Actual data are for retail core (core sales) only and include
company use and loss & unaccounted for gas.
The retail core estimated actual demand for SoCalGas is the physical residual after
subtracting noncore and core transport agents (CAT) physical gas demand from the
measured daily total system gas sendout, which has been converted to Dth using a 1.0273
MDth/MMcf heat rate (core average monthly heat rates have ranged from 1.02 to 1.04
MDth/MMcf). The CAT demand is estimated based on the historical CAT usage per meter

Daily Core Demand Forecast Performance Report for September 2017Combined SoCalGas and SDG&E
Confidential and Protected Materials Pursuant to PUC Section 583, GO-66C, and D.16-08-024
Part of the load forecast error can be explained by the forecast error in temperature
provided by the third party vendor.
The Retail Core estimated actual demand for SDG&E is the daily AMI core data (including
company use), to which an estimated LUAF has been added.
% Difference = (Forecast - Estimated Recorded) / (Estimated Recorded)
Forecast and Estimated Actual data are for retail core (core sales) only and include
company use and loss & unaccounted for gas.
The retail core estimated actual demand for SoCalGas is the physical residual after
subtracting noncore and core transport agents (CAT) physical gas demand from the
measured daily total system gas sendout, which has been converted to Dth using a 1.0273
MDth/MMcf heat rate (core average monthly heat rates have ranged from 1.02 to 1.04
MDth/MMcf). The CAT demand is estimated based on the historical CAT usage per meter
with its meter growth assumption.

QUESTION 2.3: Please provide, for the years 2016-2017, the percentage difference for each day between the core’s recorded daily usage and the core’s scheduled daily nominations as of Intraday Cycle 2. The percentage difference should be indicated as positive for nominations greater than recorded usage and negative for nominations less than recorded usage. The core’s daily usage should be defined as stated in the footnotes to the report that SoCalGas has filed with the CPUC Energy Division in compliance with Paragraph 13 of the Second Daily Balancing Settlement in A.15-06-020. RESPONSE 2.3:
SoCalGas and SDG&E object to this request on the grounds that an Assigned Commissioner’s Scoping Memo and Ruling has not been issued in this proceeding and therefore this request currently seeks the production of information that is neither relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending proceeding nor is likely reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, and is outside the scope of this proceeding as proposed by SoCalGas and SDG&E. Subject to and without waiving these objections, SoCalGas and SDG&E reserve to the right to amend this response should the request ultimately be within the determined scope of this proceeding.

Confidential and Protected Materials Pursuant to PUC Section 583, GO-66D, and D.17-09-023
Part of the load forecast error can be explained by the forecast error in temperature
provided by the third party vendor.
The Retail Core estimated actual demand for SDG&E is the daily AMI core data (including
company use), to which an estimated LUAF has been added.
% Difference = (Forecast - Estimated Recorded) / (Estimated Recorded)
Forecast and Estimated Actual data are for retail core (core sales) only and include
company use and loss & unaccounted for gas.
The retail core estimated actual demand for SoCalGas is the physical residual after
subtracting noncore and core transport agents (CAT) physical gas demand from the
measured daily total system gas sendout, which has been converted to Dth using a 1.0273
MDth/MMcf heat rate (core average monthly heat rates have ranged from 1.02 to 1.04
MDth/MMcf). The CAT demand is estimated based on the historical CAT usage per meter
with its meter growth assumption.

QUESTION 3.2: Please provide, for the period, January 1, 2018 through May 21, 2018, the percentage difference for each day between the core’s recorded daily usage and the core’s scheduled daily nominations as of Intraday Cycle 2. The percentage difference should be indicated as positive for nominations greater than recorded usage and negative for nominations less than recorded usage. The core’s daily usage should be defined as stated in the footnotes to the report that SoCalGas has filed with the CPUC Energy Division in compliance with Paragraph 13 of the Second Daily Balancing Settlement in A.15-06-020. RESPONSE 3.2:
SoCalGas and SDG&E object to this question to the extent it seeks confidential, customer-specific information. Notwithstanding this objection, and subject thereto, SoCalGas responds as follows. As agreed to with SCGC, attached is a summary of the daily percentage difference between retail core’s final daily volumes scheduled to its burn account and the retail core’s estimated recorded daily (midnight to midnight) usage (there is no “recorded” core daily usage) for January 1, 2016- April 30, 2018, separated by winter (November-March) and summer (April-October) months. The daily percentage difference indicates as positive for scheduled volumes greater than estimated usage and negative for scheduled volumes less than estimated usage. The estimated recorded daily usage includes company-use fuel and lost & unaccounted for (LUAF) gas, and is derived from the residual load on the SoCalGas & SDG&E systems by subtracting noncore and estimated core transport agent (CAT) load from the total gas sendout. Changes in system linepack have also not been taken into account. The CAT demand is estimated based on the historical CAT usage per meter with its meter growth assumption. Total system sendout is measured in physical volume and for comparison purposes has been converted to Dth using a 1.0273 Dth/Mcf heat rate. The estimated recorded daily usage has not been adjusted to correct for monthly total differences between MCS and customer billing data.

QUESTION 3.3: With respect to the testimony of David Mercer at pages 3-4 and the Applicants’ response to SCGC-SEU Data Request 2, Q.2.2.4 that was submitted in A.17-10-007: 3.3.1. Are the MTUs randomly assigned to one of the six data transmittal schedules described in the response to Q.2.2.4?
3.3.2. If the answer to the previous question is “no,” please state the basis upon which the modules are assigned to one of the six data transmittal schedules. 3.3.3. Where does SoCalGas maintain its record of which data transmittal schedule each MTU has been assigned to?
RESPONSE 3.3:
3.3.1. The assigned data transmittal schedule is based on the time that the MTU is provisioned (e.g. installed and activated). An MTU can be provisioned at any time installation activities occur. For example, an MTU provisioned at 8:03am would receive confirmation of network connectivity within minutes of installation and the module’s transmission time would be assigned to 9:00 AM. For network operation purposes, the assignment of the data transmittal schedule is considered random. 3.3.2. See response 3.3.1. 3.3.3. Each individual MTU maintains a record of its data transmittal schedule. The assigned transmittal schedule for each MTU is not stored in any central database or system (such as the Head End or MDMS) as a unique data element. However, the assigned transmittal schedule can be inferred from analyzing MTU transmission records in the Head End.

QUESTION 3.4: With respect to the statement in the testimony of David Mercer at page 5: “The AMI Load processes all data, including the current day’s data, that has been received up to the process run point.” 3.4.1. Does the statement “all data” in the quoted material refer to data for each day that the MTU has been connected to the AMI system?
3.4.2. If the answer to the previous question is “no,” please define the period to which the statement “all data” corresponds. RESPONSE 3.4:
3.4.1. The term “all data” is referring to the gas interval usage data. The AMI Load Process consumes all new data after the previously run AMI Load process. This may, for example, include any missing data that may have become available after the last AMI load. 3.4.2. See response 3.4.1.

QUESTION 3.5: With respect to the statement in the testimony of David Mercer at page 4: “The data warehouse load process starts at 5:00 PM and stores data from the previous calendar day” and the Applicants’ response to SCGC-SEU Data Request 2, Q.2.5.4, in A.17-10-007 that states: “Daily, the Data Warehouse initiates several load processes that transfers hourly reads and usage data (in cubic feet, not therms) to the Data Warehouse. This process is complete by 5:00 PM.” 3.5.1. Please state what times during each day the “Data Warehouse initiates several load processes that transfers hourly reads and usage data (in cubic feet, not therms) to the Data Warehouse.” 3.5.2. Each time the Data Warehouse initiates the load processes, is all of the AMI data that is present in the MDMS system for the previous Gas Measurement Day is uploaded to the Data Warehouse or only some portion of the data?
3.5.3. If only some portion of the data is uploaded as described in the previous question, please specify how that portion of the data is determined. 3.5.4. How long does it take to upload the data from the MDMS system to the Data Warehouse?
3.5.5. How long would it take to upload the data from the MDMS system to the Data Warehouse if that data were limited to the hourly reads and usage data for only the previous Measurement Day?
RESPONSE 3.5:
3.5.1. There are currently two scheduled processes that transfer interval gas usage from the MDMS to the Data Warehouse. Both scheduled processes will complete by approximately 5:00 PM.
• The first scheduled Data Warehouse Load process that transfers working interval usage data (in cubic feet) begins at 1:00 PM.

• The second scheduled Data Warehouse Load process begins at 2:30 PM and transfers hourly interval data in cubic feet that has been through the VEE process. The VEE process runs at noon on newly available data within the MDMS.
3.5.2. At the 1:00 PM Data Warehouse Load process, approximately 90% of the previous day’s data is available in the MDMS. The 1:00 PM Data Warehouse Load process will capture this data and load it into the Data Warehouse. This includes data available via the AMI Load job run at 11:00 AM. At the 2:30 PM Data Warehouse Load process, which includes data available via the VEE job that was run at noon, again approximately 90% of the previous day’s data is available in the MDMS. The 2:30 PM Data Warehouse Load process will capture this data and load it into the Data Warehouse. 3.5.3. See response 3.5.2. 3.5.4. See response 3.5.1. 3.5.5. The Data Warehouse Load process is limited to the hourly reads and usage data for the previous and all prior Measurement Days that were received during the previous day. Limiting the upload process to only the previous Measurement Day would have little impact to process run times because the amount of new data not associated with the Previous Measurement Day is minimal. See also response to 3.5.1.

QUESTION 3.6: With respect to Figure II-2 in the testimony of David Mercer at page 3: 3.6.1. Please confirm that that during each Measurement Day a data packet (consisting of an anchor read and 11 index counts) from a random number of MTUs is transmitted approximately every 15 minutes via the DCUs to the Head End. 3.6.2. Please confirm that the data described in the previous question would then be transmitted, after approximately 15 minutes, from the Head End, with the index counts converted to cubic feet, to the staging tables until it is time to upload the data to the MDMS. 3.6.3. Does the data from the MTUs include an identification of the date as well as the hour number for each of the 12 hours for which volume in cubic feet is recorded?
3.6.4. Would it be possible to upload partial day data for the current Measurement Day at noon or sometime shortly thereafter from the staging tables directly to the Data Warehouse assuming the appropriate programs were developed?
3.6.5. If the answer to the previous question is “no,” would it be possible to send partial day data for the current Measurement Day to the MDMS at noon or sometime shortly thereafter and then upload that data from the MDMS to the Data Warehouse?
RESPONSE 3.6:
3.6.1. The system is designed such that every 15 minutes the Head End should receive data for approximately 250,000 MTU’s. Therefore, during each Measurement Day, a data packet (consisting of an anchor read and 11 index counts) from a random selection of approximately 250,000 MTUs is transmitted approximately every 15 minutes via the DCU’s to the Head End. 3.6.2. SoCalGas considers the staging tables to be part of the AMI Load Process. While the staging tables may be populated every 15 minutes, other aspects necessary to complete the load process (such as cubic feet conversion and meter to MTU validations) are not run until the times indicated in Figure II-2.

3.6.3. The time information for date and hour is interpreted from the MTU’s transmission time. However, the MTU does not record data in cubic feet. The data transmitted from the MTU to the Head End is “interval gas usage data” and algorithms (typically within the AMI Load Process) have not yet been run to convert the raw meter read to cubic feet. 3.6.4. When considering a Head End to Data Warehouse interface, it is important to remember that the AMI Load Process (the process that transfers data from Head End to MDMS) includes two additional, important functions: 1) the conversion of meter read data to cubic feet and 2) the verification of the proper MTU to meter asset relationship. These functions are examples of processes and procedures that would need to be replicated in any new Head End to Data Warehouse interface. The Advanced Meter system and interface timings were designed for optimal billing efficiency. Any changes implemented to the current system design would impact other processes and procedures. 3.6.5. The Advanced Meter system and interface timings were designed for optimal billing efficiency. Any changes implemented to the current system design would impact other processes and procedures.

QUESTION 4.1: Regarding the Direct Testimony of Sharim Chaudhury at page 2 that states: “SDG&E has completed its AMI system installation for its retail core customers and sufficient historical AMI-based consumption data is available for SDG&E retail core customers.” 4.1.1. Why does the witness characterize SDG&E’s AMI system being installed for its “retail
core customers”? 4.1.2. Does SDG&E exclude customers that are served by a CAT other than Gas Acquisition
from being metered by its AMI system? 4.1.3. If the answer to the previous question is “yes,” please state on what ground SDG&E
excludes customers served by a CAT from its AMI system. 4.1.4. Does SDG&E provide AMI data for the customers served by each CAT to the CAT if
requested and if authorized by the customers? 4.1.5. If the answer to the previous question is “yes,” please explain the procedures that
have been set up to provide AMI data to CATs. 4.1.6. How many core meters does SDG&E meter in total? 4.1.7. How many core meters does SDG&E meter in total through its AMI system? 4.1.8. How many core meters does SDG&E meter through its AMI system that are served by
CATs? RESPONSE 4.1:
4.1.1: The relevant customer data for daily core load forecasting is for retail core customers
because Gas Acquisition is responsible for purchasing gas for retail core customers.
4.1.2: No.

QUESTION 4.2: With respect to the Direct Testimony of Sharim Chaudhury at page 3 that states: To arrive at the final retail core demand numbers, daily SDG&E Company-use gas and estimates of LUAF gas are added to the AMI-based usage numbers.” 4.2.1. Is the company-use and LUAF gas figures added to the AMI-based usage numbers
because the SoCalGas figures are derived residually by subtracting noncore customer usage and CAT customer usage from the measured daily total system gas sendout, a figure that includes company-use and LUAF gas?
4.2.2. If the answer to the previous question is “no,” please explain why the company-use
and LUAF gas are added to the AMI-based usage figures, RESPONSE 4.2:
4.2.1: No, the residual derivation referenced is not applicable to SDG&E’s retail core demand
data. The Gas Acquisition department is responsible for procuring gas for company-use and
LUAF, in addition to gas for retail core customers. Therefore, gas usage data for company-
use gas and LUAF gas are added to arrive at data that represents the amount of gas that the
Gas Acquisition department is responsible for procuring.
4.2.2: See response to 4.2.1.

QUESTION 4.3: With respect to the Direct Testimony of Sharim Chaudhury at page 4 that states: “cold weather is generally quantified by system-wide heating degree days (“HDDs”), weighted by customer counts.” 4.3.1. Are the customer counts the count of the number of customers that are associated
with each of the twelve weather stations? 4.3.2. From what data source are the customer counts compiled? 4.3.3. How are the areas associated with each weather station delineated? RESPONSE 4.3:
4.3.1 No. Nine weather stations are mapped to six temperature zones for SoCalGas and
three weather stations are mapped to two temperature zones for SDG&E. The customer
counts are used to calculate the weight given to each temperature zone.
4.3.2 Customer counts are compiled from SoCalGas’ monthly billing data.
4.3.3 N/A.

QUESTION 4.4: With respect to the Direct Testimony of Sharim Chaudhury at page 4 that states: “Manual adjustments to forecasts based on forecasting experience oftentimes can improve upon the forecasts produced by a forecasting model. The daily retail core demand forecasts are tracked and reviewed regularly. After review, the forecasts produced by the DLFM are sometimes adjusted by the Demand Forecasting Group if it determines that the accuracy of future forecasts will likely be improved.” 4.4.1. What factors would the Demand Forecasting Group consider in determining whether to
make a manual adjustment to a forecast? 4.4.2. If the Demand Forecasting Group makes a manual adjustment to a forecast when
would that manual adjustment typically be made? RESPONSE 4.4:
4.4.1: Typical factors the Demand Forecasting group considers in determining whether to make a manual adjustment of the forecast are if recent weather forecasts show a pattern of deviation from the actual weather or if recent daily demand forecasts show a pattern of deviation from actual usage or estimated actual usage. 4.4.2: Manual adjustments are typically made on the day before the next flow day.

QUESTION 4.5: With respect to the Direct Testimony of Sharim Chaudhury at page 3 that states: “for SDG&E, actual aggregated daily retail core demand data can be derived for recent years from the customer-specific data that have been collected through SDG&E’s AMI system. Pursuant to D.16-12-015, since December 1, 2016, this AMI data has been used in the forecasting process for SDG&E by developing a forecasting model using historical AMI data from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2016 for all SDG&E retail core customers.” 4.5.1. Has the forecasting model been updated since December 1, 2016, to incorporate
SDG&E AMI metering data for a longer period, say through September 30, 2017? 4.5.2. If the answer to the previous question is “yes,” how does the MAPE for the updated
forecasting model compare to the MAPE for the forecasting model based on the initial three years’ worth of SDG&E AMI data?
4.5.3. If the answer to Q.4.6.1 is “no,” please explain why the Demand Forecasting Group
has not updated the model to reflect the additional year of data. RESPONSE 4.5:
4.5.1: SDG&E’s forecasting model was updated in 2017 using the three years of data ranging from September 1, 2014 to August 31, 2017. 4.5.2: The MAPE for the DLFM based on SDG&E AMI metering data for a longer period has not been calculated. 4.5.3: Assuming this request refers to the answer provided in Q.4.5.1, the response is as follows: N/A.

QUESTION 4.6: Regarding the Direct Testimony of Sharim Chaudhury at page 9 that states: “some areas of SoCalGas’ service territory still do not have advanced meter coverage. Without the AMI installations completed in all areas, it is not possible to accurately measure SoCalGas’ total actual daily retail core gas usage.” Citing to the August 2017 AMI Semiannual Report. 4.6.1 Please identify the specific information in the August 2017 AMI Semiannual Report
that was relied upon in making the quoted statement. 4.6.2 Would the same statement would be made if the witness were relying upon the
February 2018 AMI Semiannual Report? 4.6.3 If the answer to the previous question is “yes,” please identify the specific information
in the February 2018 AMI Semiannual Report that was relied upon in making the quoted statement.
4.6.4 How many active core meters existed on the SoCalGas system as of December 31,
2017? 4.6.5 Does the witness believe that 100 percent of the SoCalGas meters must be served by
AMI before the SoCalGas AMI data can be incorporated into the forecasting process? 4.6.6 If the answer to the previous question is “no,” please state the percentage penetration
of AMI meters that the witness believes is necessary before the SoCalGas AMI data can be incorporated into the forecasting process.
4.6.7 Please state any other factors that must be addressed before the SoCalGas AMI data
can be incorporated into the forecast. RESPONSE 4.6:
4.6.1: The specific information in the August 2017 AMI Semiannual Report that was relied
upon in making the quoted statement is that AMI installation was not complete at that time.
Please see page 6 of the August 2017 AMI Semiannual Report as an example.

4.6.4: SoCalGas active core meter count was 5,757,326 as of December 31, 2017.
4.6.5: The witness does not believe that 100 percent of the SoCalGas meters must be
served by AMI before the SoCalGas AMI data can be incorporated into the forecasting
process because there are some customers with meters who have opted out of AMI meters.
4.6.6: The witness believes that the AMI installation should be complete and that sufficient
historical AMI data should be available for SoCalGas’ retail core customers with which to
develop a statistical model.
4.6.7: Regarding the Direct Testimony of Sharim Chaudhury, please see Part IV, section B of
the Direct Testimony of Sharim Chaudhury on pages 9-10.

For those days where both a low OFO and a high OFO were declared, the percentage difference between the core’s recorded daily usage and the core’s scheduled daily nominations as of Intraday Cycle 2 should be categorized with the second type of OFO that was declared during the day rather than with the first type of OFO that was declared.
RESPONSE 5.1:
Attached is a summary of the daily percentage difference between retail core’s final daily volumes scheduled to its burn account and the retail core’s estimated recorded daily (midnight to midnight) usage (there is no “recorded” core daily usage) for January 1, 2016- April 30, 2018, separated by high OFO days and low OFO days. The daily percentage difference indicates as positive for scheduled volumes greater than estimated usage and negative for scheduled volumes less than estimated usage. All low OFO days have been included regardless of whether noncompliance charges were waived. For those days where both a low OFO and a high OFO were declared, the percentage difference between the should be categorized with the second type of OFO that was declared during the day. The estimated recorded daily usage includes company-use fuel and lost & unaccounted for (LUAF) gas, and is derived from the residual load on the SoCalGas & SDG&E systems by subtracting noncore and estimated core transport agent (CAT) load from the total gas sendout. Changes in system linepack have also not been taken into account. The CAT

demand is estimated based on the historical CAT usage per meter with its meter growth assumption. Total system sendout is measured in physical volume and for comparison purposes has been converted to Dth using a 1.0273 Dth/Mcf heat rate. The estimated recorded daily usage has not been adjusted to correct for monthly total differences between MCS and customer billing data.

their systems to provide continuous service to their core customers under an extreme peak day event. For each utility’s service area, the extreme peak day is defined as a service area average
temperature so cold that it would, on average, occur only once every 35 years. This definition
translates to a system average temperature of 40.1 degrees Fahrenheit for SoCalGas’ service area and 42.9 degrees Fahrenheit for SDG&E’s service area.
Demand on an extreme peak day is met through a combination of withdrawals from
underground storage facilities and flowing pipeline supplies. The firm storage withdrawal amount of 2,225 MMCF/day is the value SoCalGas and SDG&E are approved to hold (per
CPUC D.08-12-020 on Dec. 4, 2008 at p. 12) to serve the combined core portfolio of SoCalGas’
and SDG&E’s retail core customers. Storage withdrawal plus pipeline supplies must be sufficient to meet peak day operating requirements. The following table provides an
illustration of how storage and flowing supplies can meet forecasted retail core peak day
demand.

Southern California Gas Company Advanced Meter Semiannual Report
Introduction
This is the tenth Semiannual Report (“Report”) regarding the progress of Southern California Gas Company’s (“SoCalGas”) Advanced Meter project. In Decision (“D.”) 10‐04‐027, the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC” or “Commission”) authorized the project. Ordering Paragraph 5 required the following reporting requirements for SoCalGas:
“Southern California Gas Company shall establish a system to track and attribute program costs and projected savings from conservation. Based on this tracking system, Southern California Gas Company shall submit a report to the Director of the Commission’s Energy Division semiannually, tracking the gas conservation impacts of the advanced metering infrastructure project to date. These reports shall serve as a forum to adjust, as necessary the elements laid out in the final outreach plan described above. We expect that customer outreach, education and communications will continue to evolve and improve as SoCalGas conducts customer research, monitors customer reaction to new AMI technology and various customer usage presentation tools, and incorporates feedback from these activities into its AMI outreach and education activities. If the report shows that the company is falling short of its projections, it shall submit revisions to its conservation plan to increase awareness, participation, and durability of conservation actions among its customers. The semiannual reports and any revisions to the advanced metering infrastructure outreach and conservation plan shall be submitted to the director of the Commission’s Energy Division and served on the most recent service list for this proceeding. Additional costs incurred in order to improve conservation response will be funded out of contingency funds, or otherwise subject to the risk sharing mechanism authorized in Ordering Paragraph 2.”
Since the last Conservation Campaign was completed in 2016‐2017 and installation of SoCalGas’
Advanced Meter project is nearly complete, the attached Report represents the last to be
submitted to the Commission pursuant to D.10‐04‐027.
Chapter 1 ‐ Project Overview and Summary
In addition to the specific requirements identified in D.10‐04‐027, this Report provides overall status of SoCalGas’ Advanced Meter project through December 31, 2017 and builds upon previous Reports by highlighting project changes and activities that have taken place since June 30, 2017. Previous Report filings may be accessed on SoCalGas’ website.1

The Advanced Meter infrastructure consists of two primary components – a meter transmission unit (“MTU” or “module”) attached to SoCalGas meters, and a communications network consisting of data collection units (“DCU”) installed across the SoCalGas service territory. Data from the modules is communicated to the DCUs and then transmitted to SoCalGas’ back‐office systems. Operational highlights as of December 31, 2017 include:
Over 5.9 million meter modules installed representing 99% of the total meters to be upgraded.
4,326 data collector units (DCUs) installed and functioning On‐Air representing 95 percent of the estimated 4,535 DCUs planned.
Over 99 percent of the installed modules have been deemed ‘Billing Ready’ and are now used or ready for billing customers.
SoCalGas completed four targeted “Test and Learn” heating season conservation campaigns leveraging Advanced Meter‐enabled usage dataover the course of the project. The goals of these consecutive conservation campaigns were to demonstrate how to best meet the one percent energy savings goal2 associated with the Advanced Meter rollout and to track the resulting conservation savings. In accordance with Ordering Paragraph 5, each of SoCalGas’ successive heating season conservation campaigns incorporated the lessons learned and key findings from the prior campaigns. With each successive campaign, residential conservation treatments produced statistically significant gas savings.3 Of note for the final campaign was that one treatment – a “Seasonal Energy Update” energy report based on advanced meter analytics developed by SoCalGas – achieved the highest savings rate for all four years’ campaigns of 3.43 percent4. Continued savings effects were also realized for treatments initially tested during earlier campaigns. The persistence and sustainability of these conservation results demonstrates the durability of conservation actions as outlined in Ordering Paragraph 5 above. The Advanced Meter project has to date met its schedule, budget and major project milestones; however, continued permitting and construction challenges have impeded completion of the network in accordance with D.10‐04‐027. As discussed in prior Reports, SoCalGas has implemented a proactive public outreach strategy to educate and inform impacted residents, businesses, and municipalities of network installation to help mitigate potential concerns. Despite extensive engagement, select municipalities continue to require SoCalGas to secure discretionary permits. Because discretionary permitting processes are
2 This energy savings goal specifically refers to one percent of total residential gas usage. 3 Four out of eleven treatments tested during the 2013‐2014 heating season campaign generated average savings of about 1.3 percent. Four out of seven residential treatments tested during the 2014‐2015 heating season campaign generated average savings of about one percent. Fourteen out of fourteen residential treatments tested during the 2015‐2016 campaign generated average savings of over 1.4 percent. Eleven out of eleven residential treatments tested during the 2016‐2017 campaign generated average savings of over 1.7 percent. 4 Comprehensive results available in August 2017 Advanced Meter Semiannual Report

contrary to SoCalGas’ understanding of the CPUCs overarching authority over utility facilities, and because acquiescing to discretionary permitting processes could result in DCUs being rejected or removed by the jurisdiction at any time, SoCalGas has refrained from completing applications in these jurisdictions. Although there has been progress in select areas, by continuing to assert their position these municipalities are considerably delaying or preventing the network installation timeline for over 90 DCUs or two percent of the 4,535 planned DCUs. The inability to deploy the necessary infrastructure in these jurisdictions will continue to result in SoCalGas having to maintain separate meter reading, communications, data processing and billing systems functions for longer than was anticipated in D.10‐04‐027 and may negatively impact expected customer operational and conservation benefits pursuant to Sections 3.C and 3.D of this report. As previously communicated to the Commission, SoCalGas discovered a small percentage of Advanced Meter modules producing inaccurate digital reads of gas usage. The problem was limited to approximately 0.15 percent of the installed population of MTUs. These devices are issuing multiple false alarms. SoCalGas has implemented a plan to replace all defective MTUs, address any authorized billing corrections, and communicate with regulators, customers and stakeholders. During the course of remediation a subsequent issue was identified with MTUs in curb meter vaults. SoCalGas is working with the manufacturer to resolve the issue; until then, these meters will be manually read to minimize any billing impacts to customers. The total financial impact of the issue is unknown at this time, but SoCalGas is seeking parts and labor cost recovery from the vendor. In order to continue to address these remaining implementation aspects of the Advanced Meter project, SoCalGas filed Advice Letters (AL) 5134 and 5215 in 2017. AL 5134 extended the Advanced Meter Infrastructure Balancing Accout (AMIBA) mechanism for at least one year beyond the seven‐year deployment period (2010‐2017) through 2018, or until the associated costs and benefits are incorporated in a subsequent General Rate Case (GRC) and established separate subaccounts in the AMIBA to record costs associated with the deployment and post‐deployment periods of the AMI project as well as for on‐going meter costs in areas where the AMI network is not constructed. AL 5215 revised the AMIBA to reflect that the Deployment Phase Cost Subaccount of the AMIBA will also record costs associated with the installation of Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) communication modules for large commercial and industrial customers and distribution network pressure monitors. These amendments to the AMIBA will ensure that any remainining Advanced Meter project costs are treated in accordance with D.10‐04‐027.
Chapter 2 ‐ Module Installation and Network Construction Status
2.A Module Installation Status
SoCalGas has installed 5,926,881 modules through the end of December 2017, with its first installation dating back to October 2012. Table 1 displays the installations performed by

Table 1 Module Installations by Personnel Group
Total
Advanced Meter Installations 5,458,310
Other SoCalGas Personnel 468,571
Total Installations 5,926,881
About 92 percent of the modules are being installed by Advanced Meter personnel, with approximately eight percent being installed by other SoCalGas personnel. Other SoCalGas personnel are involved when the installation requires extensive modifications to the existing meter configuration, such as installing the modules on complex industrial and commercial meters; replacing existing curb meters with new curb meters containing a pre‐installed module; and when meters are changed through the normal course of business. Installation teams generally performed work out of warehouses leased specifically for the Advanced Meter project. As part of the planned project shut down, operations at remaining warehouses have completed as of June 30, 2017.
2.B Communication Network Construction Status
The communications network of the Advanced Meter system is designed to ensure that SoCalGas customers receive their hourly consumption data. It consists of DCUs deployed across the SoCalGas service territory that receive the meter reading data from the modules installed on each meter. SoCalGas continues to refine the network to improve system performance and based on the latest propagation study provided by Aclara, the technology vendor, the project plans to install 4,535 DCUs. Table 3 displays the status of the SoCalGas network as of December 31, 2017.

Ninety‐five percent of the network has been constructed or is ready to construct. By December 31, 2017, 4,326 DCUs have been installed and commissioned on‐air and are receiving reads from installed MTUs. SoCalGas continues to negotiate with local governments and third parties to install the remaining DCUs in the network. Table 4 displays the locations of installed DCUs to date.

To date SoCalGas has installed DCUs on a SoCalGas owned pole in the public right of way under its franchise 65 percent of the time. The second most common method has been to install DCUs on local government‐owned street lights. When a DCU is attached to a third party owned asset, SoCalGas negotiates a contract with the asset owner which usually includes:
Fees to lease the space on the asset; and,
Energy rates for the electricity to power the DCU. Of the 12 counties and 211 cities in the SoCalGas service territory, SoCalGas has finished installing DCUs in seven counties and in 178 cities/communities.6 SoCalGas is in active negotiations with several cities and counties to continue installing the remaining DCUs. A limited number of cities and counties have been reopened due to network optimization. To ensure area coverage, the project has reassessed cities and counties that have been completed with the original design and added DCUs where necessary. With 4,326 DCUs constructed, SoCalGas has received 194 complaints and 94 inquiries, including concerns about the DCUs aesthetics, glare, or location. In each case, SoCalGas contacted the complaining party to resolve the complaint. As a result of customer concerns, SoCalGas has relocated 89 DCUs. Otherwise, the concerns have been resolved without relocating the DCU. Where the DCU design point falls entirely within private property, SoCalGas negotiates easements with the private property owner(s). Installations of this type usually require a contract to secure the right to locate on the third party property. When SoCalGas installs a DCU on its own pole, the DCU is solar‐powered. When installed on a street light, the DCU is most often powered by electricity from the street light. Given the preponderance of new poles, most of the DCUs are solar powered. Table 5 shows the breakdown between solar and A/C powered DCUs.

Chapter 3 ‐ System Performance
Two key indicators of the overall Advanced Meter system performance are the performance of the network with respect to the delivery of hourly data for billing and online presentation purposes, and the resulting billing data‐related performance. Additional improvements to SoCalGas’ service delivery are also being realized as a result of meter read automation and
Page 8
enhanced data analytics capabilities enabled by the Advanced Meter system. Extended uses of the Advanced Meter system through a network sharing capability also have the potential to provide additional operational and conservation benefits to water agencies and their customers within SoCalGas’ service territory.
3.A Network Performance
The most basic measure of system performance is to measure the data delivered as a percentage of the expected data to be delivered. This has direct impacts to both billing and the presentment of hourly gas consumption data to customers. In a perfect system, SoCalGas would receive data for every customer for every hour, each day of the year. To provide this data, the modules must communicate with the DCUs and the DCUs must transmit the data to SoCalGas back office systems 100 percent of the time. Table 6 displays the breakdown of modules that have successfully communicated with SoCalGas’ back office systems.
Table 6 Module Communication Status

Missing 1‐12 Reads 188,722 3.2%
Missing More Than 12 Reads 95,151 1.6%
Missing All Reads 7,382 0.1%
SoCalGas generally installs modules where the network is available; however, some exceptions to installing outside of an available network include instances when new business meters are connected and routine meter changes are being performed. Additionally, when a meter fails in the field, it is replaced with an integrated meter and module, regardless of whether the network is installed or not. As illustrated in Table 6, approximately 95 percent of the installed modules are successfully communicating all of a customer’s hourly data on a monthly basis. About three percent of the modules are missing 1‐12 reads, which means that they have had only one or two unsuccessful communications per month. That is, one or two six‐hour periods have not been successfully communicated to the SoCalGas back office systems. SoCalGas does not consider a module performing at this level to be problematic for billing as enough hourly data is being received for these purposes.
Page 9
About two percent of the modules are missing more than 12 reads but have communicated at least one read. SoCalGas continues to examine module modifications and network enhancements to improve the performance of these modules.
3.B Billing Data Performance
The Advanced Meter modules replace the manual reads with an automated read, with the expectation that the system will produce more accurate reads (no data entry mistakes) and fewer estimated reads (meter access problems are largely eliminated). Table 7 displays the progression of modules from installation to actual use for billing.
Table 7
Advanced Meters Utilized for Billing
Modules Installed as of December 31, 2017 5,926,881
Modules in ‘Billing Ready’ Status 5,894,443
Billing Data Provided by Advanced Meter 5,885,012
Billing Data Not Provided by Advanced Meter 5,894
Percent Provided by Advanced Meter – Actual Read 99.84%
Percent Provided by Advanced Meter – Estimated Read 0.06%
Percent Not Provided by Advanced Meter 0.1%
Approximately 99 percent of the installed modules have been deemed ‘Billing Ready’ and are now used or ready for billing customers. Of the remaining one percent, most are still in the process of completing one of the test elements needed to become ‘Billing Ready.’ Others are located in areas with incomplete DCU coverage, or are located in areas with insufficient module density to support conversion to Advanced Meter billing. Modules in areas with network coverage which do not pass the ‘Billing Ready’ tests are monitored and, if necessary, replaced. They may also point to insufficient network coverage or DCU problems, which are then remediated.8 For the Billing Ready modules, the system provides a high percentage of actual reads. The system also provided 0.06 percent of reads which were ‘estimated reads’ based substantially on reads received earlier in the month, rather than on a particular designated day. Only about 0.1 percent of the reads could not be provided by the Advanced Meter system. In July 2013, SoCalGas implemented software that enabled the utilization of automated reads for the initiation of new service and generation of closing bills. With Advanced Meter automation, a field visit to collect a customer’s starting read was no longer necessary for turn‐on orders that did not require entry into the home. SoCalGas’ Customer Service Field

Page 10
organization has seen a reduction of over 3.3 million orders since the implementation of the automated reads.
3.C Service Delivery Enhancements resulting from Enhanced Data Analytics
As the Commission articulated in the AMI decision,9 the Advanced Meter system “provides [a] system‐wide technology platform with the ability to expand operating benefits as new applications emerge.” In areas where the communications network is fully deployed, SoCalGas is leveraging Advanced Meter‐enabled data analytics and technology by integrating data to develop algorithms that support the continued safe and reliable delivery of natural gas to its customers. These enhanced data analytics enable identification of unusual gas consumption patterns at customer facilities. Though in the exploratory phase, this new and more granular awareness of energy data utilization is uncovering new opportunities and benefits potential. Leveraging the Advanced Meter network could result in faster identification of abnormally high gas usage, which enables SoCalGas to identify, investigate, and respond to potential safety situations quicker. By discovering abnormally high gas usage and notifying customers, SoCalGas can reduce methane emissions at customer facilities saving energy and improving air quality while also reducing the financial burden on customers from higher usage. The Advanced Meter team assesses unusual consumption patterns on closed accounts using a Per Day Average and in some cases will look at the hourly reads to conduct further research. During the exploratory phase of SoCalGas’ enhanced data analytics, the following results have been achieved. Table 8 summarizes the results of the 8,335 exploratory service orders fielded through December 31, 2017.

Leveraging Advanced Meter consumption analytics is a component of a more comprehensive set of processes and inspections aimed at ensuring public safety and SoCalGas expects that, as it continues to build out enhanced analytics capabilities enabled by the Advanced Meter system, further customer service and safety benefits will accrue to its customers. More rapid detection and resolution of gas and hot water leaks provides enhanced safety for customers and their communities, as well as provides energy and financial savings, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and conservation of our scarce water supplies.
3.D Extending the Use of the Advanced Meter Network
As articulated in our AMI Application, SoCalGas recognizes the State’s priority and urgency in encouraging and enabling water conservation and as such included the requirement for an AMI technology capable of reading water meters. This network sharing capability has the potential to provide significant operational and conservation benefits to water agencies and their customers within SoCalGas’ service territory. In order to operationally evaluate the feasibility of the “Shared Network” concept, SoCalGas established pilots to be conducted by Aclara and SoCalGas with a limited number of water utilities. Additionally, as part of the SoCalGas Water Energy Nexus (WEN) AMI Pilots which were approved by the CPUC on June 9, 2016 with D.16‐06‐010, SoCalGas partnered with a 3rd party analytics vendor (Valor Water Analytics) and two separate Commission‐regulated water utilities (San Gabriel Valley Water Company, California American Water).
Page 12
In addition to the Advanced Meter network being shared by external water utilities, other groups within SoCalGas are leveraging the network. As part of a pilot project by the Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan (PSEP) group, data from a sensor device to detect, measure and monitor methane in the area near a transmission pipeline is being transmitted over the Advanced Meter network. These methane sensor devices, installed in 2016, continue to successfully communicate over the Advanced Meter network and provide SoCalGas with remote alarm registration and processing when the methane‐in‐air concentration, as measured by the sensors, exceeds limits established for our testing period.
Chapter 4 ‐ Financial Status
To track expenses during the project, Ordering Paragraph 7 of the D.10‐04‐027, stated:
“Southern California Gas Company shall file an advice letter no later than 30 days from
the effective date of this decision, establishing a balancing account and detailing the cost
recovery mechanism in conformance with this decision. Southern California Gas
Company is authorized to recover deployment costs up to $1.0507 billion in this account,
plus additional amounts, if any, consistent with the terms and conditions of the Risk
Sharing Mechanism approved in Ordering Paragraph 2.”
On August 4, 2010, the CPUC approved AL 4110, effective April 8, 2010, which established the Advanced Meter Infrastructure Balancing Account. The CPUC approved budget of $1,050 million for the SoCalGas Advanced Meter project was augmented by re‐directing $13.5 million of previously approved General Rate Case funding for a Remote Automated Meter Reading (“RAMR”) project. SoCalGas halted the implementation of its RAMR project, a drive‐by meter reading system, when its Advanced Metering Infrastructure (“AMI”) application was submitted, and in the AMI application requested that this funding be re‐directed to the Advanced Meter project. In D.10‐04‐027, the CPUC approved this request.10 Due to the timing of the AMI application and Decision, the project deployment period overlapped with SoCalGas’ TY 2012 and TY 2016 General Rate Case (GRC) schedules. Since AMI deployment costs and benefits are recorded in the AMIBA, AMI impacts could not be integrated into GRC forecasts until TY 2019. As a result, SoCalGas requested authorization in the TY 2016 to establish a 2018 “bridge‐year” period – the year between the end of deployment in 2017 and the TY 2019 GRC. Subsequently, on May 5th, 2017, SoCalGas filed Advice Letter 5134 to request the 2018 bridge‐year period, referred to in the Advice Letter as the “post‐deployment phase cost sub‐account.”11 The total budget for the SoCalGas Advanced Meter project is $1,064 million, which included a contingency fund of $68.7 million.

The sequencing of the spending to date is typical of the pattern for many major projects. The early years of the project were spent organizing the large project team; developing new business processes; and building and implementing the information systems that support the construction of the DCUs and installation of the modules. SoCalGas’ plan contemplated that the DCUs would be constructed prior to the installation of the modules so that the modules would be effective in delivering benefits to customers. As indicated in Chapter Two, SoCalGas began installing its DCUs in June 2012 and its modules in October 2012.

Table 9 displays the Advanced Meter spending through December 31, 2017, by the major project activities. The purchase and installation of meters and modules continue to be the primary source of spending at approximately $570 million project to date. The next large areas of spend are in the construction of the communication network and information systems with approximately $104 and $94 million in spend, respectively. Although the project has fully allocated the authorized contingency SoCalGas believes the project will be delivered within the approved budget.
Chapter 5 ‐ Meter Reading Work Force Impacts
The Meter Reading work force is the most significantly impacted by the Advanced Meter project as Meter Reading positions will all but be eliminated by the project.14 Both SoCalGas and the CPUC are concerned about these impacts. The Commission specifically addressed this concern. Ordering Paragraph 1 of the D.10‐04‐027 states:
12 Support organizations are comprised of SoCalGas departments outside of Advanced Meter that are funded by the project for project related work or for work identified in business case. This includes field work related to advancing our larger meters (primarily commercial and industrial). 13 Updated to exclude the Pension & Benefits refundable portion that is balanced separately from the AMI project. 14 Some personnel may continue to manually read meters in support of the CPUC authorized Opt‐Out program.

“Southern California Gas Company shall supplement by $1 million, its funding for workforce retention and retraining. This fund is established to better protect the employment interests of Southern California Gas Company’s meter reading workforce and should be used to extend severance, vocational training, and other transitional opportunities to employees affected by the decision to pursue advanced metering infrastructure.”
In response to this direction, SoCalGas set aside funding in its Enhanced Educational Assistance Fund specifically to support the Meter Reading personnel in place in April 2010. Through the project deployment period, meter readers have been reimbursed over $100,000 through this fund. While meter readers have been active in seeking employment opportunities within SoCalGas the fund had not been heavily utilized, so as part of continuing efforts to support our employees’ transition to potential job opportunities, SoCalGas expanded the retention and retraining efforts to include skills orientation workshops. These workshops were designed to familiarize employees with the mechanical and technical skills associated with piping, tools usage, natural gas appliance and distribution system construction work. The orientation workshops offered transitional skills that could be applied toward job opportunities within and outside of SoCalGas. The target employee group was expanded to include all current meter reading employees as well as AMI Field Representatives. All of these employees will be affected when Advanced Meter implementation is completed in 2017. SoCalGas allocated $42,400 from the authorized funding from 4th Quarter 2014 through 2017 to provide these workshops for employees. Table 10 displays the current status of those Meter Reading personnel who were employed in April 2010, when the project was approved by the CPUC.

Page 15
employed in 2010 have left SoCalGas and 26 employees (less than 3 percent) remain in the Meter Reading organization. SoCalGas continues to encourage Meter Reading employees to explore all company opportunities outside of the Meter Reading organization.
Chapter 6 – Community Education and Outreach
SoCalGas personnel performed an array of outreach activities to inform customers about Advanced Meter project activity. SoCalGas developed a local stakeholder education and community outreach program to ensure every city and county SoCalGas serves is addressed. During the network construction process, outreach is done at the city level with initial city briefings to the city manager and staff including informational presentations to city councils as well as any other sub‐committees as necessary. Outreach to the community includes, but is not limited to: one‐on‐one customer meetings, door knocking, and meetings with homeowner associations, community/neighborhood councils, community groups, and mailings. These efforts include briefing local elected officials, media outreach, community town hall events and local speaking engagements.
Chapter 7 ‐ Customer Awareness and Satisfaction
From 2010 through 2016, SoCalGas monitored the impact of its outreach activities in the areas of customer awareness and customer satisfaction. SoCalGas utilized a variety of market research diagnostics to monitor the “pulse” of customers pertaining to the Advanced Meter installation process, customer communications, new programs and services, and customer attitudes and motivational drivers to behavioral change. For purposes of monitoring overall customer awareness and perceptions, SoCalGas used the Customer Insight Study (“CIS”)15 which is administered by Davis Research. CIS is SoCalGas' public opinion tracking study. Starting in the fourth quarter of 2010, SoCalGas added three Advanced Meter related questions to this tracking survey. The questions were then updated slightly in the fourth quarter of 2012, commensurate with the initial deployment of Advanced Meters. These questions were fielded through the fourth quarter of 2016, and then discontinued going forward given that 96 percent of the installations were completed by the end of 2016. A consistent finding of the quarterly CIS results was that awareness levels amongst residential and business customers increased gradually over the course of the project rollout. The general upward trend seems to reflect the increased volume of customer communications about the project as well as an increase in installations.16
15 Formerly called iTracker Customer Perception Study. 16 Please refer to prior years’ Reports for further details regarding Customer Awareness and Satisfaction research conducted over the course of the Advanced Meter project.

Chapter 8 – Elevated Customer Inquiries and Deferral/Opt‐Out Program Enrollments
SoCalGas customers may inquire about the Advanced Meter project by contacting either the SoCalGas Customer Contact Center (“CCC”) or the Advanced Meter Customer Information Center (“CIC”). The CCC addresses customer inquiries about any subject while the CIC typically makes appointment arrangements with customers to have their Advanced Meter installed. Advanced Meter “opt‐out” requests are processed by the CCC. Some customer inquiries were not routinely resolved and were escalated to Advanced Meter Customer Experience staff. There have been about 9,000 inquiries since the project’s inception. The number of escalated customer inquiries is very low, considering the volume of Advanced Meter communications that have been distributed to SoCalGas customers. The most common cause of the escalated inquiries is requests to defer/opt‐out of the installation of the Advanced Meter communications module. Although customers can call either the CCC or the CIC to have their deferral/opt‐out requests recorded, some ask to speak to the Advanced Meter Customer Experience staff. Their questions usually revolve around safety and privacy concerns, as well as comments on the Advanced Meter Opt‐Out Program fees. Table 11 displays a breakdown of enrollment status for the Advanced Meter Opt‐Out Program as of December 31, 2017.

Customer Opt‐Out Program requests to “opt back in” to Advanced Meter installation
56,677 The number of customers that requested to be removed from the Opt‐Out Program (includes customers in both an “Active” and “Pending Enrollment” Opt‐Out Program status).
In March 2014, SoCalGas’ Opt‐Out Program became effective and the project team initiated efforts to inform employees of the Opt‐Out Program and revised any impacted company communication materials. The interim opt‐out fees approved by the Commission were consistent with those previously adopted for the other California Investor‐Owned Utilities (“IOUs”).20 SoCalGas’ Advanced Meter Opt‐Out Program interim fees for residential customers were as follows:
o Non‐CARE Customers: Initial fee of $75.00 and $10.00/month ongoing cost
o CARE Customers: Initial fee of $10.00 and $5.00/month ongoing cost
In December 2014, the Commission issued D.14‐12‐078 regarding the Smart Meter Opt‐Out Phase 2 proceeding; this decision reiterated approval of the interim opt‐out fees and charges and adopted them as permanent opt‐out fees and charges for residential customers for each of the California IOUs.
17 “Active" includes only those customers who are enrolled in the Opt‐Out Program and are currently being billed associated Opt‐Out Program fees. Many customers in a “Pending” status, once presented with final communications regarding Opt‐Out Program fees, elect to terminate their prior request for enrollment in the Opt‐Out Program. Similarly, customers about to be default‐enrolled due to repeated installation/access attempts sometimes contact SoCalGas to schedule an installation prior to being actively enrolled. 18 SoCalGas implemented its Advanced Meter Opt‐Out Program effective March 19, 2014, pursuant to D.14‐02‐019. These customers either requested to defer from an Advanced Meter module installation prior to March 19, 2014, or subsequent to March 19, 2014, requested to enroll in the Advanced Meter Opt‐Out Program. 19 These customers were defaulted (automatically enrolled) into the Opt‐Out Program due to several unsuccessful attempts by SoCalGas to contact the customers to provide access for the installation of the Advanced Meter. 20 D.12‐02‐014 (PG&E), D.12‐04‐018 (SCE), and D.12‐04‐019 (SDG&E).
Page 18
In April 2015, pursuant to the Commission’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 Opt‐Out decisions, SoCalGas implemented modifications to its billing system to begin charging opt‐out fees to Opt‐Out Program participants, including customers who were defaulted into the program. Additionally, information regarding key new features introduced in the Phase 2 decision was incorporated into existing customer talking points and all relevant Advanced Meter customer and external communications materials. SoCalGas still expects the total percentage of customers who will eventually opt‐out to be within the planning assumption of 0.5 percent.

SEU RESPONSE DATE RECEIVED: FEBRUARY 20, 2018
DATE RESPONDED: MARCH , 2018 2.2. Witness Rene F. Garcia states in SCG-17-R at RFG-8, lines 3-9:
An MTU is a communications device that automatically and securely transmits hourly gas meter readings to our DCUs, which in turn transmit the gas meter readings to our back-office systems (e.g. MDMS and HE) and billing department, eliminating the need for manual meter reading. While gas usage is still measured by the analog meter as it was prior to adding the AMI technology, the MTU is applied (retrofitted) to the meter to securely transmit hourly meter readings wirelessly through SoCalGas’ data communications network.
2.2.1. Please confirm that each meter transmission unit (“MTU”) installed on a meter has a unique identifier. 2.2.2. Please confirm that the drive shaft for the analog meter passes through the MTU assembly, which by means of a coupler and magnet on the meter drive shaft is able to count the number of clicks or index counts that the meter has advanced forward each hour relative to a baseline number identified for an anchor hour. 2.2.3. Please confirm that four times each day the MTU transmits to the data collection unit (“DCU”) packets of encrypted data containing the MTU unique identifier, an anchor “read” and eleven hourly index counts. The anchor read and five index counts were previously transmitted to the DCU and six index counts have not previously been transmitted to the DCU. 2.2.4. Does each MTU have the same anchor hours, that is 6:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 12:00 a.m., or do some MTUs have anchor hours that differ from this, for example, 1:00 a.m., 7:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m., or 2:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 8:00 p.m.? 2.2.5. Please confirm that the MTU randomly schedules the transmit time for the packet of encrypted data during a six-hour interval following the recording of the last index count that is included in the packet. For example, for a 6:00 p.m. data packet that includes a 6:00 a.m. anchor and 11 hourly index counts from 7:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m., the data packet could be transmitted any time after 6:00 p.m. and before 12:00 a.m.
Utility Response 2.2: SoCalGas objects to this request under Rule 10.1 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure to the extent it seeks the production of information that is neither relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending proceeding nor is likely reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objection, SoCalGas responds as follows.

2.3. Witness Rene F. Garcia states in Exhibit SCG-17-R at RFG-8, lines 12-19: The AMI communication network will include nearly 4,600 DCUs by TY 2019 across the SoCalGas service territory. The DCUs receive the meter reading data from the MTUs installed on each meter. The data is encrypted and transmitted wirelessly across a licensed frequency from the MTU to the DCU. The specific DCU locations, referred to as design points, take into account the location of the approximately six million meters, the topography of the surrounding area, and the influence of the built environment on the transmission of the radio signal. DCUs can be placed within a 500-foot radius of a design point. Most MTUs will communicate with at least three DCUs. 2.3.1. Please confirm that the DCUs transmit data from the MTUs at least every 15 minutes although some DCUs may transmit data more frequently than every 15 minutes. 2.3.2. Please confirm that the DCUs transmit the encrypted data packets from the MTUs to the Head End (“HE”) system using Verizon and AT&T cellular systems and, in some cases, ethernet connections. 2.3.3. Please confirm that it takes approximately 15 minutes for data from an MTU to be transmitted through the DCUs to the HE.
Utility Response 2.3: SoCalGas objects to this request under Rule 10.1 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure to the extent it seeks the production of information that is neither relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending proceeding nor is likely reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objection, SoCalGas responds as follows. Response to 2.3.1. Yes, this is correct.

The third component of the infrastructure includes the AMI Information Technology (IT)systems, including the Head End (HE) and the Meter Data Management System (MDMS). Meter reading data from the MTU is communicated to the DCUs and then transmitted to these systems. and also states in Exhibit SCG-17-R at RFG-20, lines 6-8: The HE software collects and processes meter data and pressure alarms and other data needed to help AMI support groups operate and manage the AMI network. 2.4.1. Please confirm that the HE collects the meter data for all nearly 5.9 million meters that have been added to the AMI system from the DCU and decrypts the data, identifies duplicate data collected from more than one DCU, and verifies the validity of the data by identifying any inconsistencies in the duplicate data and confirming the MTU identifier. 2.4.2. Please confirm that the HE also identifies any problems or failures that might occur with the individual DCUs. 2.4.3. Please confirm that the HE converts the hourly index counts transmitted from the MTUs into hourly readings of cubic feet of gas consumed. 2.4.4. Please confirm that it takes approximately 15 minutes to process and validate hourly meter reads received in the HE and transmit it to the MDMS system although data from the HE is held in staging tables until uploaded into the MDMS system. 2.4.5. Please confirm that the processed and validated hourly meter reads received from the HE and held in the staging tables are uploaded to the Meter Data Management System (“MDMS”) four times per day at 05:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., and 11:00 p.m.
2.4.6. Please confirm that approximately 40 percent of the meters have had 100 percent of their data for the previous metering day uploaded to the MDMS system at 05:00 a.m. 2.4.7. Please confirm that approximately 90 percent of the meters have had 100 percent of their data for the previous metering day uploaded to the MDMS system at 11:00 a.m. 2.4.8. Please confirm that all meters have had 100 percent of their data for the previous metering day uploaded to the MDMS system as of 3:00 p.m.

Utility Response 2.4: SoCalGas objects to this request under Rule 10.1 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure to the extent it seeks the production of information that is neither relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending proceeding nor is likely reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objection, SoCalGas responds as follows. Response to 2.4.1. Yes, this is correct. Response to 2.4.2. The Head End (HE) system identifies problems or failures that might occur with the individual DCUs. Response to 2.4.3. For an individual MTU’s transmission, the HE only stores the anchor reads and the 11 incremental changes. The HE does not store MTU reads or hourly usage data (the subtraction of one hour’s meter read from the next). The MDMS stores MTU reads (converted from the 11 incremental deltas) and hourly usage. When the interface process loads HE data into the MDMS, that process transforms the data from incremental deltas (stored in the HE) to MTU reads and hourly usage. Response to 2.4.4. Once data is in the HE, every 15 minutes the data is copied to staging tables. Four times daily (per the schedule outlined in Question 2.4.5), the data in these staging tables are validated and loaded into the MDMS. Response to 2.4.5. Yes, this is correct. Response to 2.4.6. Yes, this is correct for those MTU’s that have successfully transmitted their data. Response to 2.4.7. Yes, this is correct for those MTU’s that have successfully transmitted their data. Response to 2.4.8. Yes, this is correct for those MTU’s that have successfully transmitted their data.

4.8. With respect to the statement on page JDS-71: “The Enhanced Network Analytics
Project would build a Smart Meter Analytics platform that enables efficient and
robust data processing, and enhanced reporting and analytics capabilities required to
maintain a reliable Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network. The platform
will integrate customer information, meter data and attributes, distribution assets,
weather data, and data from various sources that is required to proactively report,
analyze, and prioritize data quality issues and meter exceptions. This application
would also establish the foundation required to quickly scale and store new data,
develop new analytical dashboards, and provide necessary reporting.”
4.8.1. Where does SDG&E currently maintain and analyze its customer information,
e.g., does SDG&E have a separate Customer Information database?
4.8.2. Does the Customer Information database contain information about customers
that includes service address (location of meter), billing address, whether the
customer is core or noncore, rate schedule(s) that apply to customer for billing
purposes, and for core customers the identity of the provider of gas
procurement services?
4.8.3. Does the Customer Information database contain a unique identifier for the
gas meter and a separate unique identifier for the gas meter module?
4.8.4. Does SDG&E currently use the Customer Information database to calculate
customer bills or does SDG&E currently use the MDMS system to calculate
customer bills?
4.8.5. Does SDG&E currently have the ability to simultaneously query customer
information and AMI data?
4.8.6. If the answer to the previous question is “yes,” please describe the database
environment within which these queries occur.
4.8.7. Does SDG&E already have its own Data Warehouse in use?
4.8.8. If the answer to the previous question is “no,” does SDG&E use SoCalGas’
Data Warehouse?
4.8.9. In terms of a simultaneous query of the customer information data that has
been uploaded to the Data Warehouse and the AMI data for the previous
metering day that has been uploaded to the Data Warehouse, how long would
it take to run a query within the Data Warehouse for the entire approximately
0.9 million gas customers that selects the identity of each core customer’s gas
provider from the customer information data and selects the AMI data for the
previous metering day and writes the gas module (or gas meter) identifier, the
identity of the gas provider, and the total of the metering data for the previous
day to a new database within the Data Warehouse converting the meter reads
of cubic feet to therms and compiling the results by the identity of the gas
providers, e.g., Gas Acquisition, CTA #1, CTA #2, etc., so a total daily
metered use for the previous metering day is determined for each gas
provider?

by SoCalGas for use in analyzing its AMI data in conjunction with data from
other sources, such as its Customer Information System?
4.8.11. Does SDG&E currently have the capability of providing AMI data to
SoCalGas on a daily basis?
Utility Response 4.8:
4.8.1 SDG&E maintains customer information in the DB2 database supporting the
Customer Information System (CIS). For reporting and analysis of customer information,
SDG&E currently utilizes its Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW).
4.8.2 The DB2 database contains the customer service address, general location of the
meter, billing address, and rate schedule. The DB2 database does not contain gas
procurement services information.

Regarding SCG-19R: Customer Services - Office Operations
5.1. With respect to the statement on page MHB-73:
ICDA is a strategic priority and enabler of multiple projects within the
Customer Services and Customer Solutions organizations. ICDA’s goal is
to develop data analytics capabilities (people, technology and process) that
enable the future vision of SoCalGas’ customer analytics. The technology
solution accommodates platforms, tools and various sources of customer
data, increased data volume generated from Advanced Meter interval data,
customer self-service transactional data and external third-party data. Data
Analysts, Data Scientists and Data subject matter-experts (people) will use
data to analyze customer behavioral patterns, trends, and preferences during
the customer evolution process (starting service, requesting service orders,
program participation, remittance processing, transferring services, among
others).
And the discussion about Phase 3 of the ICDA project, which occurs on page MHB-74 stating
that “the objective of this project is continue the enhancement of the ICDA.” The following
questions relate to the enhancement of the ICDA system so that it would be capable of producing
information that would enable the core to balance to actual burn from the previous day.
5.1.1. Please state the estimated cost required to produce the programming necessary to
expand the master data that is uploaded from the CIS system to the Data Warehouse
on a daily basis so that this data includes the identity of the agent that procures gas on
behalf of each core customer.
Utility Response 5.1.1:
SoCalGas objects to the request under Rule 10.1 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure on the grounds that the information sought by this request is not relevant to the scope
of the subject matter involved in the pending proceeding and the burden, expense and
intrusiveness of this request outweighs the likelihood that the information sought will lead to the
discovery of relevant and admissible evidence within the scope of the pending proceeding.
SoCalGas further objects to this request on the grounds that the request is vague and ambiguous,
and burdensome to the extent that the request asks SoCalGas to design and estimate costs for a
new system or product in response to a discovery request, which is an inappropriate use of the
discovery process.

million customer meters to advanced metering. On April 8th, 2010, the Commission authorized 5
the project in D.10-04-027. Shortly thereafter, SoCalGas’ Advice Letter (AL) 1410 was 6
authorized to establish the Advanced Metering Infrastructure Balancing Account (AMIBA) to 7
record O&M and capital-related costs and to implement a component of customer rates through 8
the AMI project deployment period (2010 – 2017). 9
AMI Overview 10
SoCalGas’ AMI deployment consists of three primary components: 1). Meter 11
Transmission Units (MTUs) installed on nearly 6 million gas meters; 2). nearly 4,600 Data 12
Collector Units (DCUs) to be constructed throughout the service territory by TY 2019; and 3). 13
back-office systems that allow for the collection and management of automated meter readings 14
for billing (e.g. Headend (HE) and Meter Data Management System (MDMS)). Figure RG-1 15
provides an overview of the AMI data flow: 16
FIGURE RG-1 17 AMI Data Flow Overview 18

1. The MTU turns on and securely transmits gas usage information to the DCUs for 20
a fraction of a second a day 21
2. DCUs wirelessly transmit MTU usage from the meter to SoCalGas’ back-office 22
systems. 23
3. SoCalGas’ systems process usage data and calculate bills 24

RFG-8
4. Customers are then provided access to their gas usage and billing data on the 1
internet or from their mobile devices. 2
An MTU is a communications device that automatically and securely transmits hourly 3
gas meter readings to our DCUs, which in turn transmit the gas meter readings to our back-office 4
systems (e.g. MDMS and HE) and billing department, eliminating the need for manual meter 5
reading. 6
While gas usage is still measured by the analog meter as it was prior to adding the AMI 7
technology, the MTU is applied (retrofitted) to the meter to securely transmit hourly meter 8
readings wirelessly through SoCalGas’ data communications network. The MTU is off most of 9
the time, turning on for only a fraction of a second per day (less than two minutes total per year). 10
MTUs are battery powered and most are expected to last up to 20 years. 11
The AMI communication network will include nearly 4,600 DCUs by TY 2019 across 12
the SoCalGas service territory. The DCUs receive the meter reading data from the MTUs 13
installed on each meter. The data is encrypted and transmitted wirelessly across a licensed 14
frequency from the MTU to the DCU. The specific DCU locations, referred to as design points, 15
take into account the location of the approximately six million meters, the topography of the 16
surrounding area, and the influence of the built environment on the transmission of the radio 17
signal.6 DCUs can be placed within a 500-foot radius of a design point. Most MTUs will 18
communicate with at least three DCUs. 19
SoCalGas generally installs DCUs on SoCalGas owned poles or on local government/3rd 20
party owned street lights. When SoCalGas installs a DCU on its own pole, the DCU is solar-21
powered and is provided back-up power via internal batteries which are expected to last five 22
years. When a DCU is installed on a street light, the DCU is most often powered by electricity 23
from the street light. When a DCU is attached to a local government/3rd party street light or 24
other type of asset, SoCalGas negotiates a contract with the asset owner which usually includes a 25
fee to lease the space on the asset and an energy rate for the electricity to power the DCU, when 26
applicable. 27
The third component of the infrastructure includes the AMI Information Technology (IT) 28
systems, including the Head End (HE) and the Meter Data Management System (MDMS). 29
6 MTUs and the associated network communications system operate in the 450 to 470 megahertz (MHz) bands and 800/1900 cellular frequency, respectively.
Page 3
RFG-9
Meter reading data from the MTU is communicated to the DCUs and then transmitted to these 1
systems. Daily and hourly natural gas usage data is then made available on a next day basis 2
though SoCalGas’ My Account online customer portal and the SoCalGas Mobile App, providing 3
customers the opportunity to manage their usage and to potentially conserve energy and reduce 4
their monthly bills.7 5
Deployment Status 6
The following section provides information regarding the AMI deployment status, 7
including accomplishments through June, 2017 and on-going challenges such as local 8
jurisdiction permitting issues preventing SoCalGas from completing the DCU network, and 9
challenges that will preclude SoCalGas from completing its curb meter MTU deployment by the 10
end of 2017. 11
Deployment Status as of June 30th, 2017 12
SoCalGas’ AMI deployment is nearly complete. As of June, 2017, nearly 5.9 million 13
meters have been retrofitted with an MTU, representing 99 percent of total meters to be upgraded 14
with the AMI technology by TY 2019. Over the 4.5 years of AMI meter deployment, AMI field 15
installers have operated out of nineteen separate AMI warehouses, spread across SoCalGas’ 16
service territory.8 Of the nearly 5.9 million meters with MTUs, nearly 99 percent of those are 17
communicating with the AMI network, no longer requiring manual meter reading and are using 18
AMI meter readings for billing – an indication that the various components of the AMI, 19
including MTUs, DCUs and back-office systems, are integrated and operating effectively. 20
With AMI data, customers are now able to monitor their hourly gas usage on a next-day 21
basis and can adjust their usage to save energy and potentially reduce their monthly bills. 22
Additionally, residential conservation “behavior change” program treatments administered by the 23
AMI project produced natural gas savings of almost 1.5 percent amongst customers treated in the 24
2015-2016 heating season campaign and 1.6 percent for customers treated during the most recent 25
2016-2017 campaign. 26
7 This same usage information is also made available to SoCalGas customer service representatives in the Customer Contact Center to assist customers with billing and usage-related inquiries. 8 Installation warehouses are workforce hubs located and leased specifically for AMI related, meter installation operations. By the end of 2017, all remaining warehouse operations will be complete and the locations will be closed.

D. DELIVERY OF GAS 1. Transportation of Customer Owned Gas CTAs participating in the Program will perform gas deliveries pursuant to the provisions and
conditions set forth in Rule No. 30, Transportation of Customer Owned Gas. 2. Imbalance Service The CTA is responsible for balancing transportation services with the customer’s end-use
consumption. The CTA is responsible for managing the imbalances of the end-users through means which include participation in the Utility’s Imbalance Trading Program pursuant to the provisions of Schedule No. G-IMB. Imbalances will be calculated on an aggregated customer basis, not by individual account or delivery point. Imbalances will be determined by comparing the amount of gas delivered to the Utility and the amount of gas actually consumed by the customers.
The CTA’s DCQ will be used as a proxy for gas actually consumed by their customers. Immediately
each month when actual meter usage information becomes available, an adjustment to the CTA’s imbalance account will be made to account for any differences between actual consumption of its customers and the DCQ.
The CTA shall be responsible for all imbalance charges, including any Utility Users Tax. The CTA
may pool the positive and negative imbalances of its customers in order to avoid or minimize imbalance charges
3. Backbone Transportation Service CTAs may receive Backbone Transportation Service by utilizing Schedule No. G-BTS. CTAs will
have the set-aside option, under Schedule No. G-BTS, to acquire firm Backbone Transportation Service during the open season process.
E. STORAGE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS 1. Allocation of Storage Rights Storage rights and costs will be allocated to each CTA by SoCalGas in the same proportion as
storage costs are allocated to the customer classes represented by each CTA in SoCalGas' core transportation rates based on the prorata share of the Utility Gas Procurement Department allocated rights.

E STORAGE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS (Continued) 2. Storage Injection and Withdrawal Rights and Obligations CTAs are given a proportionate share of injection rights from April 1 through October 31 and,
withdrawal rights from November 1 through March 31. The CTA is responsible for storage injection and withdrawal rights pursuant to the provisions of Rule No. 30, Transportation of Customer-Owned Gas and G-IMB.
Gas in storage to meet core reliability cannot be used to cure and under-delivery during an imbalance
trading period. 3. Monthly Storage Inventory Requirements CTAs will be assigned month-end storage targets for the months of October, January and February to
meet SoCalGas' storage targets and maintain minimum quantities to meet Abnormal Peak Day (APD) and cold year requirements. CTA storage targets will be assigned in a manner consistent with the Utility Gas Procurement Department.
This gas in storage may not be subject to encumbrances of any kind. CTAs will not be allowed to
withdraw gas below these month-end targets. CTA winter month storage minimums are based on a proportionate allocation of total core storage
requirements as specified for the Utility Gas Procurement Department. 4. Adding And Deleting Customers Storage rights will be adjusted on a monthly basis to account for the addition or deletion of
customers. When a CTA adds new customer(s) or customer(s) return to SoCalGas, gas stored on behalf of such customer(s) shall be automatically sold, at the current month's Adjusted Core Procurement Charge, G-CPA, set forth in Schedule No. G-CP, to the CTA or to SoCalGas to which the customer is transferring if the amount of gas stored on behalf of customer(s) exceeds a minimum threshold of 1,000,000 therms. To the extent that this automatic transfer of title does not occur, the CTA or SoCalGas will remain obligated to meet all applicable storage targets.
5. Secondary Market Opportunities
CTAs who hold firm storage rights in addition to those which are held to meet core reliability requirements may release all or a portion of those rights in the secondary market by utilizing Schedule No. G-SMT. Any release of storage capacity must provide SoCalGas with the option to recall any gas stored on behalf of its core customers, at SoCalGas’ discretion, if, in SoCalGas’ sole judgment, such storage is necessary to serve returning customer(s) defined Section E.4.

In Decision 91-02-040, dated February 21, 1991 the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) authorized a three-year experimental transportation program for core customers who elect to aggregate their service requirements with other core customers for the purpose of transporting their gas supply. In Decision 94-04-027, dated April 6, 1994, the CPUC made the three-year program permanent and extended the pilot program rules until such date that permanent rules could be adopted. In Decision 95-07-048, dated July 19, 1995, the CPUC adopted a Settlement which evolved the interim rules of the program. The terms and conditions of this Rule reflect these decisions and shall apply to Core Transport Agents (CTAs) and where appropriate to the CTA's end-use customers served under Schedule GTCA, the UDC's service schedule for the core aggregation program. In Decision 98-02-108, dated February 19, 1998, the CPUC approved the Petition of Enron Corporation For Modification of D.95-07-048 to permit gas CTAs to switch gas customers from the incumbent UDC using electronic communication and processes consistent with those adopted for electric direct access. In Decision 01-12-018, dated December 11, 2001, the CPUC approved the SDG&E/SoCalGas Comprehensive Gas OII Settlement, which removed the 10% participation limit initially put in place in 1991 by Decision 91-02-040, and reduced the minimum transport volume from 250,000 to 120,000 therms per year. In Decision 14-08-043, dated August 28, 2014, the CPUC adopted Registration Standards for CTAs. CTAs shall be registered with the CPUC. Commission jurisdiction over CTAs is set forth in Public Utilities Code Sections 980 through 989.5 The terms and conditions of this Rule shall apply to CTAs who are also known as Aggregators, and their end-use customers (Core Transportation Customers), as defined in the UDC’s Rule No. 1.
The specific requirements for Core Transportation Customers are described in each core transportation rate schedule. The transportation of customer-owned gas in conjunction with service under this Rule is subject specifically to the terms and conditions of Rule No. 30, Transportation of Customer-Procured Gas, Rule No. 14, Shortage of Gas Supply Interruption of Delivery, Priority of Service, Schedule G-IMB and the charges or credits associated with these rules. The UDC shall not be liable to the customer for any damages caused to the customer by any failure by CTA to comply with the UDC’s rules and tariffs, the CTA Agreements (Form 142-1859 and Attachment D of 142-1859) and associated legal and regulatory requirements. Pursuant to D.14-08-043 and Public Utilities Code Section 983, the CPUC shall accept, compile and attempt to informally resolved consumer complaints regarding CTAs.

A. GENERAL
1. Application for Service
The CTA shall be required to complete a “Request For Core Transportation-Only Services," Form 142-1859, agreement with the UDC. CTAs offering core aggregation service to residential or small commercial customers are required to register with the CPUC in accordance with D.14-08-043 and Public Utilities Code Section 981. The CTA may use one of two options for enrolling individual core gas customers in the CTA's aggregation group: 1) submit a customer and CTA signed Attachment A, "Direct Access Service Request (DASR) For Core Aggregation”, or, 2) submit a DASR electronically if the customer’s enrollment was authorized by independent third-party verification in accordance with California Public Utilities Code Section 366.5. All hard-copy Attachment As or electronically submitted DASRs by reference become part of the “Request For Core Transportation-Only Services” agreement between the CTC and the UDC, subject to the terms and conditions stated in this Rule and Schedule GTCA.
a. The term of the CTA Agreement shall be 12-months, beginning on April 1 and
ending on March 31, and shall automatically renew for subsequent 12-month periods unless terminated by either party with at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to the Agreement's anniversary date. A new CTA may start on the first day of any month, but the term of their initial Agreement will always terminate on March 31.
b. The initial load of customers served by the CTA must meet a minimum transport
volume of 120,000 therms annually. If a CTA's group load falls below 120,000 therms per year, the CTA will be given 90 days from notification to replace the deficient load. If the deficient load is not replaced, the CTA's contract will be subject to termination.
c. CTAs may add members to their group by: 1) submitting a hard copy Attachment A,
"Direct Access Service Request (DASR) For Core Aggregation," signed by the customer and CTA, properly identifying the gas account to be added. Or, 2) submitting an electronic gas direct access service request (DASR) that has been independent third-party verified.
d. Registered CTAs shall ensure that any person or entity performing marketing or
sales activities, or administering its service agreements on the CTAs behalf, complies with rules adopted by the CPUC pursuant to Public Utilities Code Sections 980 through 989.5
2. Direct Access Service Request (DASR) Process a. Eligibility for Core Transportation Program service is limited to customers eligible for
Core Service, as defined in Rule No. 1.

A. GENERAL (Continued) 2. Direct Access Service Request (DASR) Process (Continued) b. The DASR process described herein is used equally for customer’s electric and gas
Direct Access elections, customer-initiated returns to default UDC service and CTA-initiated termination of a customer agreement. CTAs must execute the “Request For Core Transportation-Only Services” agreement (Form 142-1859) before submitting DASRs for core aggregation service.
c. A separate DASR must be submitted for each service account. Upon request, the
UDC will provide timely updates on the status of the DASR processing to the submitting CTA and customer. A single DASR may be use to enroll both electric and gas service into direct access, when both services are on a single account.
d. By submission of the DASR, the CTA warrants that the customer being enrolled in
the Transportation Service program by the DASR:
(1) Has been informed of, and consents to all terms and conditions of UDC’s Core Transportation Service;
(2) Intended to change their status to "Core Transportation Service" and receive gas procurement and related services from that specific CTA;
(3) Has authorized the CTA to act on the customer's behalf in various gas procurement activities; and,
(4) Has authorized UDC to release the customer's current and historic gas consumption information to that specific CTA.
e. CTAs will maintain a signed customer contract (which includes customer
acknowledgments and indemnification of UDC) or records of independent third party verification in the manner set forth for requesting electronic Direct Access service in the Public Utilities Code, Section 366.5.
f. DASRs must identify the gas service account participating in Direct Access,
including its billing service election. A DASR that does not contain this information is materially incomplete.
g. DASR forms will be available through electronic means (e.g., the UDC’s website;
www.sdge.com).
h. A DASR shall not be submitted to the UDC until three days after the verification required under Public Utilities Code Section 366.5 has been performed. It is the responsibility of the CTA to ensure that the requests to cancel service pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 395 and D.14-08-043 are honored. If a customer cancels an agreement pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 395, a DASR shall not be submitted for that customer. If a DASR has already been submitted, the submitting party shall, within 24 hours, direct the UDC to cancel the DASR. In accordance with Public Utilities Section Code Section 989.1, residential gas customers may cancel the DASR by midnight of the 30th day after the date the first bill for CTA service is received by the customer without penalty.

The UDC will exercise best efforts to provide, within three (3) working days thereafter (and no later than five (5) working days), the CTA and the customer with a DASR status notification informing them as to whether the DASR has been accepted, rejected or deemed pending for further information. As of July, 1998, the UDC will provide this DASR status notification within three (3) working days. If accepted, the switch date determined in accordance with paragraph k. of this section will be sent to the CTA, the former CTA if applicable, and the customer. If a DASR is rejected, the UDC will provide the reasons for the rejection. If a DASR is held pending further information, it shall be rejected if the DASR is not completed within eleven (11) working days following the status notification.
j. In accordance with the provisions of Rule 3, the UDC has the right to deny the
CTA’s request for service if the information provided by the applicant is false, incomplete, or inaccurate in any material respect.
k. If a submitted DASR complies with the DASR requirements, the DASR will be
accepted and scheduled for gas Direct Access implementation.
l. DASRs shall be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Each request shall be time-stamped by the UDC.
m. If more than one DASR is received for a service account within a single DASR
processing period (16th of the month until the 15th of the following month), only the first valid DASR received will be processed in that period. All subsequent DASRs will be rejected.
n. Accepted DASRs that are received by the UDC on or before the 15th of the month
will be switched over no later than the next month’s scheduled meter reading date for that service account.
o. The UDC, CTA and customer, on mutual agreement, may agree to a different
service change date for the service changes requested in a DASR.
p. A DASR is submitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Request For Core Transportation-Only Services Agreement and this Rule, and will also be used to define the gas billing service that the CTA is providing the customer.

A. GENERAL (Continued) 2. Direct Access Service Request (DASR) Process (Continued)
q. Customers returning to UDC bundled service will follow the same process and
timing as DASRs to establish Direct Access service.
(1) CTAs requesting to return a Direct Access customer to UDC bundled service will submit a DASR and be responsible for the continued provision of the customer’s gas supply service, and billing services until the service change date. In this case, the CTA will also be responsible for paying any Commission approved DASR charge.
(2) Customer’s requesting return to UDC bundled service may do so either by
contacting their CTA or directly contacting the UDC. In this latter case, the customer will be responsible for paying any Commission approved DASR charge.
r. The UDC will have the ability to assess a charge for accepted DASRs only if such a
fee is approved by the CPUC. This charge will be billed to the CTA unless the customer is requesting to return to UDC service where the charge will be billed to the customer.
s. Following the removal of system limitations, a customer moving to new premises
may retain or start gas direct access immediately, and in any event no later than two days after a DASR has been submitted. Due to current system limitations, a customer moving to new premises who wants to retain or start gas direct access must have the CTA submit a DASR to the UDC for the new premises no less than 10 business days before the customer’s scheduled start date at the new premises. This DASR will need a special “new customer” notation. If the DASR is received after that date or without the notation of “new customer” the customer will receive the UDC’s bundled service until the DASR is processed under the procedures set forth in Section A.2.k.
t. The UDC will not hold the CTA responsible for any customer unpaid billing charges
prior to the customer’s switch to Direct Access. Unpaid billing charges will not delay the processing of DASRs and will remain the customer’s responsibility to pay the UDC. The UDC will follow current CPUC credit rules in the event of customer non-payment, which includes the disconnection of service.
u. The initial term of service for customers participating in a core aggregation group
shall be 12-consecutive months from the customer's start date and thereafter will continue month-to-month until customer or CTA provides the UDC with notice of termination, or until customer is no longer receiving service at the meter location, or until the point that customer elects to reclassify from core to noncore status.

D. DELIVERY OF GAS
1. Transportation of Customer Procured Gas
CTAs participating in the Program will perform gas deliveries pursuant to the provisions and conditions set forth in Rule No. 30, Transportation of Customer Procured Gas and Rule 14, Shortage of Gas Supply, Interruption of Delivery and Priority of Service.
2. Imbalance Services
The CTA is responsible for balancing transportation services with the customer's end-use consumption. The CTA is responsible for managing the imbalances of the end-users through means which include participation in the UDC's Imbalance Trading Program pursuant to the provisions of Schedule No. G-IMB. Imbalances will be calculated on an aggregated customer basis, not by individual account or delivery point. Imbalances will be determined by comparing the amount of gas delivered to the UDC and the amount of gas actually consumed by the customers. The CTA’s DCQ will be used as a proxy for gas actually consumed by their customers. Immediately each month when actual meter usage information becomes available, an adjustment to the Utility Gas Procurement Department’s imbalance account will be made to account for any differences between actual consumption of the core customers and the Daily Forecast Quantity, company use and LUAF. The CTA shall be responsible for all imbalance charges, including any Utility Users Tax. The CTA may pool the positive and negative imbalances of its customers in order to avoid or minimize imbalance charges.
E. STORAGE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
1. Service Description
The utility shall acquire storage capacity and related services for all its core customers, including self-procurement customers. The utility, on a non-discriminatory basis, shall arrange with an agent/broker representing core aggregation customers served under Schedule GTCA, and self-procuring core customers served under Schedule GTC, the assignment of a pro-rata share of the utility's firm storage rights allocated to serve core customers.
2. Storage Injection and Withdrawal Rights
Assignment of storage rights and costs will be allocated to each CTA in the same proportion as storage costs are allocated to the customer classes represented by each CTA. Thereby, providing the core customer with a comparable level of reliability regardless of whether they take UDC fully-bundled service or Core Aggregation Transportation Service.

E. STORAGE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS (Continued)
1. Charges for Storage Services
The costs of storage services provided to core customers are recovered through the transportation rates paid by core customers under Schedules GTCA (Core Aggregation) and GTC (Transportation for Large Core Customers).
2. Monthly Storage Inventory Requirements
Storage capacity will be assigned to individual core customers, including self-procurement customers, on a pro-rata basis in a manner consistent with the Utility Gas Procurement Department’s minimum storage inventory requirements. This gas in storage may not be subject to any encumbrances of any kind. CTAs will not be allowed to withdraw gas below these month-end targets.
3. Adding and Deleting Customers
When CTAs add new customers, gas stored on behalf of those customers shall be automatically sold, at a rate equal to the utility's posted current month core subscription weighted average cost of gas (WACOG), to the CTA if the amount of gas stored exceeds a minimum threshold of 300,000 therms. To the extent that this automatic transfer of title does not occur, the Aggregator will remain obligated to meet all applicable storage targets set forth in this rule.
4. Secondary Market Opportunities
CTAs who hold firm storage rights in addition to those which are held to meet core reliability requirements may release all or a portion of those rights in the secondary market by utilizing Schedule No. G-SMT. UDC will have the option to recall any gas stored on behalf of its core customers, at UDC’s discretion, if, in UDC’s sole judgment, such storage is necessary to serve returning customer[s] defined in Section E.5.
F. OTHER TARIFFS
Service under this Rule is subject to the terms and conditions of UDC’s tariff schedules on file with the CPUC, including all applicable contracts and agreements.

Aliso Canyon Mitigation Measures
Impact Report (May 2018 Update)
Executive Summary A major gas leak was discovered at the Southern California Gas Company’s (SoCalGas) Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility (Aliso Canyon) on October 23, 2015. On January 6, 2016, the governor ordered SoCalGas to maximize withdrawals from Aliso Canyon to reduce the pressure in the facility. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC/Commission) subsequently required SoCalGas to leave 15 Billion cubic feet (Bcf) of working gas in the facility that could be withdrawn in an emergency. On May 10, 2016, Senate Bill (SB) 380 was approved, prohibiting the reinjection of gas into the facility until a comprehensive safety review was completed. On July 19, 2017, the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) certified, and the Commission concurred, that the required inspections and safety improvements had been completed and injections could resume at Aliso Canyon. DOGGR authorized Aliso Canyon to operate at pressures up to 2,926 pounds per square inch absolute (psia), which translates into an inventory of 68.6 Bcf.1 The current maximum Aliso inventory is lower than the DOGGR-authorized amount due to another provision of SB 380, which added Section 715 to the Public Utilities Code. Section 715 requires the CPUC to determine “the range of working gas necessary to ensure safety and reliability for the region and just and reasonable rates in California.” The CPUC released a series of “715 Reports” in response to changing conditions on the SoCalGas system. The most recent report, issued on November 30, 2017, set a cap of 24.6 Bcf on Aliso Canyon inventory.2

Gas storage is used to meet peak daily and seasonal gas demand and to hedge against price volatility in natural gas commodity markets. Storage can also help compensate for maintenance activities on the gas system’s pipelines. This feature has become more salient due to the rupture of Line 235-2 on October 1, 2017, the ongoing maintenance on Lines 3000 and 4000, and the expiration of a right-of-way on Line 2000. SoCalGas has released no estimate of when these pipeline outages will be resolved, with the exception of Line 3000, which is expected to return to service on September 17, 2018. The reduced availability of Aliso Canyon combined with significant, ongoing pipeline outages on the SoCalGas system continue to threaten gas and electric reliability in Southern California. In response to the Aliso gas leak and resulting restricted use of the storage facility, the CPUC enacted, and continues to implement, a series of policies to increase reliability by reducing demand for natural gas. This report provides an update of the mitigation measures the CPUC has undertaken and the impacts of these efforts on summer and winter gas peak demand. Because it is difficult to determine whether and to what extent electricity reductions would translate directly into gas transmission reductions in the Aliso-impacted area (as opposed to gas reductions on the system as a whole), to be conservative, this report does not assume that electricity reductions in the winter result in gas reductions in the Aliso-impacted area. During peak summer days, the report assumes that electricity reductions in all of Southern California Edison’s (SCE’s) territory except Big Creek/Ventura and all of San Diego Gas & Electric’s (SDG&E’s) territory reduce gas demand. Estimates of the impact on gas demand resulting from electricity reductions on peak summer days use heat rates of the marginal electric generation facilities, including a 10% line loss.3 Additional resource-specific simplifying assumptions are described throughout the document.
In addition to estimating the impacts of our Aliso-related efforts, this report also provides information on resources that have been added to Aliso-impacted areas since 2010 that reduce summer and winter gas demand, as well as future resources that have been authorized and are anticipated to be procured within the next five years. The purpose of this additional information is to provide a better understanding of the wide breadth of customer-facing resources already installed or planned to reduce reliance on natural gas, which in turn impacts the number of additional opportunities that exist to achieve further reductions.4
3 These assumptions result in a conversion factor of 12 MMbtu/MWh. MMbtu are in turn converted to MMcf by dividing MMbtu by 103. 4 Note that this report focuses on demand-side reductions. Significant additional efforts to reduce California’s reliance on fossil fuels are also being implemented on the supply side — most notably the increasingly aggressive renewable goals that are dramatically reducing demand for natural gas in the state.

In fact, some resources whose installation dates were accelerated in response to the Aliso leak can no longer be considered “Additional Aliso-Related Resources” since they would have come on line by now absent the Aliso-related acceleration. Consequently, some of the impacts identified in the “Additional Aliso-Related Resources” category in previous reports are now included in the “Existing/Previously Planned Resources” category. Also, because many of the significant Aliso mitigation measures are now in place, they are embedded in updated peak demand assessments. Given these factors, one significant change from past reports is that this Executive Summary does not include a table that summarizes Aliso-specific mitigation measure impacts and a calculation of the portion of peak demand being met by mitigation efforts. Instead, Table 1 summarizes estimated peak day gas demand reductions resulting from mitigation measures since 2010, and Table 2 summarizes estimated impacts of proposed or anticipated future mitigation resources that may come on line over the next five years.

5 ME&O programs encourage customers to take immediate reduction actions and to adopt demand-side measures that result in savings identified in other sections of this report. Because of this, as well as the wide disparity of reported savings from CAISO and those found by Opinion Dynamics and the fact that it is uncertain which ME&O programs will be authorized in 2018, the CPUC is not estimating direct savings from these programs in this report. 6 As the “first of its kind” gas demand response program developed specifically as an Aliso mitigation measure, only the gas impact field of the “Additional Aliso-Related Resource” row of the savings estimate table is relevant for this resource, and as noted in the text, evaluation results for the 2017-18 winter season Gas Demand Response program are expected in summer 2018. Consequently, the summary table is not applicable to this resource.

For comparison purposes, these gas demand reductions represent approximately 27% of the current estimated summer peak day gas demand of 3,500 MMcf and approximately 3% of winter peak day gas demand of 4,955 MMcf.7

Again, for comparison purposes, these gas demand reductions represent approximately 12% of the current estimated summer peak day gas demand of 3,500 MMcf and approximately 3% of winter peak day gas demand of 4,955 MMcf. Finally, it is important to note that this report only looks at the impacts of mitigation measures ordered by the Commission and/or implemented by entities overseen by the Commission. It does not look at the success of mitigation measures adopted by the publicly owned electric utilities such as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) except in limited instances in which SoCalGas partnered with LADWP on combined electric and gas reduction efforts, nor does the report review the ability of these entities to implement mitigation measures similar to some of the successful measures outlined in it.
7 Again, since these measures are now in place, they are embedded in peak demand assessments. Representing them as percentages of peak demand are provided for comparative purposes and should not be interpreted as opportunities in additional reductions in gas demand. Rather, these estimates reflect the amount of additional peak gas demand that would have existed absent these programs and efforts.

Background
Gas balancing is the need for gas supply to match gas demand. For natural gas pipeline systems to remain physically “in balance,” they must operate within a set range of pressures. If there is not enough gas in the system, the pressure falls and gas does not flow properly. If there is too much gas, the pressure rises, posing a risk to the structural integrity of the pipelines. SoCalGas is responsible for maintaining the system’s balance, but it does not control all gas procurement. A division of the utility known as the Gas Acquisition Department purchases gas for most of the residential and small business customers known as core customers.89 The remainder of the gas is procured by ‘noncore customers.’ – large gas users such as electric generation plants, refineries, and some manufacturers. Noncore customers purchase their own gas and pay the utility to transport it to their facilities. Historically, customers only had to balance their gas deliveries to within 10% of their gas usage by the end of the month. In the winter, additional balancing rules applied, but they were relatively lax, in most cases requiring customers to supply at least 50% of their burn over a five-day period. SoCalGas was able to support these flexible balancing requirements due to its ample gas storage facilities, which allowed the utility to quickly withdraw gas to remedy a shortage or inject gas to reduce a surplus. Even before the Aliso Canyon gas leak, SoCalGas initiated several policies to reduce customers’ daily imbalances. In the aftermath of the leak, the CPUC further tightened those new policies through the Summer and Winter Balancing Settlement Agreements.10
8 The Gas Acquisition Department is not allowed to communicate with the SoCalGas System Operator and only has access to the same publicly available system information that noncore customers use. 9 Some core customers are supplied by core wholesale customers or core transport agencies. 10 The Summer Settlement Agreement (D.16-06-021) became effective June 1, 2016, and expired November 30, 2016. The Winter Settlement Agreement (D.16-12-015) went into effect December 1, 2016. It was initially set to

Tighter balancing rules do not result in less natural gas usage. They do, however, reduce the need for storage by lessening the utility’s need to inject and withdraw gas to balance the system.

A. Implementing Low Operational Flow Order Procedures: The CPUC approved Low Operational Flow Order (OFO) procedures on June 16, 2015, which went into effect on December 3, 2015.11 Under these rules, a Low OFO is triggered when there is not enough gas forecasted to be coming into the system to meet demand. The Low OFO procedures allow SoCalGas to require customers to deliver up to 95% of their daily gas usage and to impose increasingly severe financial penalties for noncompliance.
B. Reducing the Monthly Balancing Requirement: The monthly balancing requirement was reduced from 10% to 8% in a non-Aliso-related decision that went into effect on September 1, 2016.12
Additional Aliso-Related Resources Online by 2018
A. Implementing the Summer and Winter Balancing Settlement Agreements: On June 1, 2016, a settlement agreement went into effect that temporarily reduced the High OFO band of permissible overdeliveries from 110% to 105% of a customer’s actual burn13 and acknowledged that SoCalGas’ existing rules allow the utility 1) to call simultaneous High and Low OFOs and 2) to set the OFO trigger, i.e. the amount of allowable gas imbalance, based on operational conditions rather than using a constant number. In practice, the latter provision allowed SoCalGas to reduce the trigger from .348 Bcf to as low as .137 Bcf depending on conditions. The Winter Balancing Settlement Agreement extended these terms, which are now set to expire on November 30, 2018. Results Tightening the gas balancing rules has had a profound effect on the SoCalGas system. Customers have changed their behavior, more closely matching their gas deliveries with their burn even on days when no Operational Flow Orders are called. Customers have also improved their balancing on high sendout days, as can be seen in the analysis below. It

It is currently set to expire on November 30, 2018. 11 Decision (D.) 15-06-004 and Resolution G-3511, respectively. 12 D.16-06-039. 13 High OFOs are the inverse of Low OFOs. Customers are subject to penalties if they bring in more than 105% of their actual (noncore) or forecast (core) gas burn.

should be noted that disaggregating the incremental impacts of each individual policy is beyond the scope of this report. Since the policies build on each other, only their combined impact is analyzed. This year, compared to the 2017 report, changes were made to calculating the impact of tighter gas balancing rules. First, the threshold for a winter high sendout day was reduced from 4 Bcf to 3.5 Bcf. This is due to the fact that there were no days during winter 2017-2018 when sendout was at least 4 Bcf. The threshold for a summer high sendout day remained unchanged at 3.2 Bcf. Second, instead of using data from only one year, a five year average of highout days was used to compare the impact of changing the balancing rules. Both of these changes increased the number of data points available, making the results more robust.14 For comparison, this year’s report looked at 180 winter days and 62 summer days, while the 2017 report only examined 11 winter days and 20 summer days. Last, when providing the relevant data, SoCalGas counted the gas used by Core Transport Agents in the noncore rather than the core category, causing core totals to change compared to last year.
Table 3: Number of High Sendout Days Per Season

Despite the expanded dataset used this year, the available data on post-Aliso high sendout days remains limited to only three winter seasons and two summer seasons since the October 2015 Aliso Canyon gas leak and the December 2015 institution of the new Low OFO rules. In addition, since the winter of 2015-16 was highly atypical, data from that season was not
14 In the 2017 report, only data for winters 2014-15, 2015-16, and 2016-17 were examined. Only four days met the 4 Bcf high sendout threshold in 2014-15 and 2015-16 and three in 2016-17. For summer, a comparison between the summers of 2015 and 2016 was used. There were 14 high sendout days in summer 2015 and six in 2016.

included in the averages cited below. 15 Between December 2015 and January 2016 To reduce pressure in the field, Aliso Canyon was on emergency withdrawal between December 2015 to January 2016. The large amounts of gas withdrawn changed the normal supply dynamics during the coldest months of the year, resulting in only three Low OFOs being called out of the 22 high sendout days that winter. Results are presented separately for summer and winter because the characteristics of gas usage vary significantly by season. In the summer, noncore customers account for roughly 79% of total high sendout day demand; in the winter, they account for about 44% of high sendout day demand. Summer
Average combined core and noncore deliveries changed from 12% less than scheduled burn in the summers 2011-15 to 4% more than burn on high sendout days in 2016-17 when a Low OFO was called. This change is equivalent to an average reduction in the need to withdraw gas from storage of 5.36 million therms. This shift was driven in part by a change in behavior by the core, which went from underdelivering by an average of 28% on 2011-15 peak days to overdelivering by 8% on high sendout/Low OFO days in 2016-17.The noncore also improved significantly, going from average peak day underdeliveries of 6% in 2011-15 to overdeliveries of 5% in 2016-17.

The new gas rules also reduced the volatility of deliveries. On high sendout days in summers 2011-15, combined core and noncore deliveries ranged from a low of -28% to a high of 2%. Deliveries on high sendout/Low OFO days in summer 2016-17 ranged from -1% to 14%.

Under the new rules, average combined core and noncore underdeliveries decreased from 5% for the winters 2010-11 through 2014-15 to 4% on high sendout/Low OFO days during the winters 2016-17 through 2017-18.17 This change equates to an average reduction in the need to withdraw gas from storage of 723,500 therms on winter high sendout days.

Tighter balancing rules also greatly reduced volatility in customer deliveries: core and noncore customers combined swung between 45% overdeliveries and 45% underdeliveries in the five winters before the Low OFO rules were introduced. In the winters 2016-17 and 2017-18, imbalances on high sendout/Low OFO days ranged from 11% underdeliveries to 6% overdeliveries.
Authorize/Anticipated Future Resources
A. Changing Core Balancing Rules: The Winter 2016 Action Plan identified several mitigation measures intended to help compensate for the unavailability of Aliso Canyon. Among them was a measure to change balancing rules for core customers. Currently, on OFO days, core customers served by the utility19 have to balance to a forecast of the day’s gas use rather than to actual use. This means that on a Low OFO day, these core customers do not incur financial penalties as long as they bring in 95% of their forecasted burn. There is no penalty for the forecast being wrong. Noncore customers, in contrast, must balance to their actual use.
As part of the Winter Balancing Settlement Agreement, SoCalGas filed Application (A.) 17-10-002 on September 30, 2017, addressing the feasibility of incorporating Advanced Metering Infrastructure data into the core balancing process. The Scoping Memo issued on April 25, 2017,20 found that the issue of the core balancing to actuals was within the scope of
17 Winter 2015-16 data is not included in this comparison due to the emergency withdrawals at Aliso Canyon. 18 For winters 2015-16 through 2017-18, only high sendout days when a Low OFO was called are included. 19 Core wholesale customers and core transport agents have to balance to actual, not forecasted, burn. 20 A.17-10-002 Scoping Memo: http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/Efile/G000/M213/K120/213120542.PDF.

the proceeding. This means that the proceeding could have the outcome of changing the current core balancing rules.
If the core is required to balance to actuals, there would likely be little change to summer deliveries, since the core is already overdelivering on average on high sendout/Low OFO summer days. However, over the past two winters, the core has underdelivered by an average of 6% on high sendout/Low OFO days. While significantly more consistent than in the era of loose balancing rules, the core’s deliveries remain more volatile than the noncore deliveries noncore customers have never underdelivered on a high sendout/Low OFO winter day since the new rules were put in place. If the core was required to balance to actuals, underdeliveries would likely decrease at least enough to meet the -5% imbalance tolerance. This change, from -6% to -5% average underdeliveries would result in a reduction in storage withdrawals of about 209,000 therms. If the core reduced average imbalances to zero, the savings would be roughly 1.25 million therms on a high sendout/Low OFO day.
B. Refinement of High OFO Rules: In a 2016 decision,21 the CPUC conditionally approved permanent High OFO rules that allow the utility to call a High OFO that reduces the permitted band of overdeliveries to up to 105% of burn. These permanent rules, which will go into effect once the Aliso Canyon Turbine Replacement Project (ACTR) is in service, provide for different levels of penalties ranging from $.025 per therm up to $2.50 per therm plus the daily balancing standby rate. Currently, there is a single penalty: the buyback rate. The ACTR was originally anticipated to go online by January 1, 2017. However, the Aliso Canyon leak and its aftermath cause the project to be delayed, and SoCalGas has temporarily suspended injection at Aliso Canyon. Once injection resumes, the ACTR is likely to go into service, causing the new High OFO rules to go into effect. Since the Daily Balancing Settlement Agreements already reduced the overdelivery band to 105%, Energy Division (ED) staff does not anticipate that the permanent rules will lead to a large change in delivery patterns. However, the more nuanced and potentially steeper High OFO penalties available to SoCalGas under the permanent High OFO rules may create more financial incentives for customers to match deliveries to burn on High OFO days.

On a cold day, the noncore base stays about the same because usage is not tempature sensitive. The core loads & temperature sensitivewholesale loads (wholesale core) increase. Thus as an approximation, we can take the difference between the average daily January usageand average daily December usage and attribute it to the core and wholesale temperature sensitive loads on a high flow day. This is consistentthe comparison between the average Jan or Dec daily core loads and the peak cold day core loads that is reported in the CGR for planning purposes.We attribute 94.5% of increased high flow day loads to core and of that 92.3% of the core loads to GA.

A. General The Utility will exercise reasonable diligence and care to furnish and deliver service to its customers,
and to avoid any interruption of same. The Utility shall not be liable for damages or otherwise for any failure to deliver gas or provide service to its customers, which failure in any way or manner results from breakage of its facilities, however caused, war, riots, acts of God, strikes, failure of or interruption in service, operating limitations or other conditions beyond its reasonable control.
B. Priority of Service In the event of a curtailment, as defined in Rule No. 1, the Utility shall curtail gas service to customers
as described in Section C, Curtailment of Service, herein. Customer usage will be assigned to appropriate end-use priority or service classifications as set forth below.
Core Service Priority 1 All residential usage regardless of size. All nonresidential usage less than 20,800
therms per active month*, excluding usage reclassified to noncore service pursuant to customer request. All electric generation, refinery and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) usage less than 20,800 therms per active month* electing core service.
Priority 2A All nonresidential usage of 20,800 therms or greater per active month* eligible for
core service, not electing noncore service. Noncore Service Noncore Service includes: (1) commercial and industrial usage electing noncore service, (2) electric
generation, EOR, and refinery usage less than 20,800 therms per active month* electing noncore service, and (3) all usage ineligible for core service, including (a) refinery and EOR usage of 20,800 therms or greater per active month* and (b) all electric generation usage from generators greater than 1 megawatt (MW) system rated generating capacity, based on net continuous power output with usage of 20,800 therms or greater per active month*.
____________________________ * A customer shall be considered to meet the size criteria of 20,800 therms or greater per active month when on an
annualized basis, for any period of 12 contiguous months within the most recent 24-month period, the customer’s active month consumption averages 20,800 therms or greater. An active month is one in which consumption exceeds 1,000 therms.

C. Curtailment of Service 1. Effectuation of Curtailment When in the judgment of the Utility, operating conditions require curtailment of service within one
or more Local Service Zones, as defined in Rule No. 1, or within a sub-zonal area, such curtailment shall be effectuated in the order and manner described below, unless otherwise specified in this rule. To the extent operationally feasible, if a capacity constraint can be addressed by curtailing multiple zones while minimizing individual customer impacts, the Utility will curtail multiple zones or subsets thereof.
(1) In the event of a curtailment being called based on day-ahead forecasts of peak electric
generation load as described in C.1.(2), all Dispatchable Electric Generation not currently forecasted to be operating at the time the curtailment order is effective. In the event of a curtailment being called based on real-time demand, all Dispatchable Electric Generation not operating when a curtailment is issued.
(2) Up to 60% of Dispatched Electric Generation load during November through March and up
to 40% of Dispatched Electric Generation load during April through October. To the extent operationally feasible, the Utility will attempt to base these curtailments on day-ahead forecasts of peak electric generation loads provided by the relevant Electric Grid Operator(s) as defined in Rule No. 1. To the extent operationally feasible, the Utility will work with affected Electric Grid Operator(s) on a best efforts basis to reallocate the aggregate maximum allowed usage for the remaining Dispatched Electric Generation load within the affected Local Service Zone(s) among all of the Dispatchable Electric Generation facilities within the affected Local Service Zone(s) to maintain grid reliability and prevent firm electric load shedding. Any such reallocation shall be at the sole discretion of the Utility, and the default in the absence of reallocation shall be pro rata within each affected Local Service Zone(s). If the relevant Electric Grid Operator(s) informs the Utility that a proposed curtailment of Dispatched Electric Generation load pursuant to this section could adversely affect electric grid reliability or cause shedding firm electric customer load, the Utility may in its sole discretion reduce the proposed curtailment of Dispatched Electric Generation load pursuant to this section and move to the next curtailment step.

C. Curtailment of Service (Continued) 1. Effectuation of Curtailment (Continued)
(3) Up to 100% of non-electric generation noncore and noncore cogeneration usage on a pro rata basis, except for pre-established refinery minimum usage requirements. Electric generation load that is not dipatchable by an Electric Grid Operator and therefore not subject to curtailment in step 2 will be considered non-electric generation noncore load for the purposes of curtailment. Refineries, including cogeneration and ancillary facilities serving refineries, will be permitted to establish, subject to the Utility’s reasonable agreement, pre-established minimum usage requirements that are not subject to curtailment in this step. Refinery minimum usage requirements shall be established at the usage level required to safely operate refinery processing units, to avoid material damage to operating equipment and to avoid operational outages extending materially beyond the curtailment period and shall take into account other relevant factors such as the length of notice provided by the Utility.
(4) a) Up to 100% of remaining refinery load not curtailed in step 3.
b) Up to 100% of remaining Dispatched Electric Generation load not curtailed in step 2. To the extent operationally feasible, the Utility will work with the affected Electric Grid Operator(s) on a best efforts basis to reallocate the aggregate maximum allowed usage for any remaining Dispatched Electric Generation load within the affected Local Service Zone(s) among all of the Dispatched Electric Generation facilities within the affected Local Service Zone(s) to maintain grid reliability and prevent firm electric load shedding. Any such reallocation shall be at the sole discretion of the Utility, and the default in the absence of reallocation shall be pro rata within each affected Local Service Zone(s).
(5) All Priority 2A service on a pro rata basis. (6) All Priority 1 non-residential service on a pro rata basis. (7) All Priority 1 residential service on a pro rata basis.

RULE 14 Sheet 1
SHORTAGE OF GAS SUPPLY, INTERRUPTION OF DELIVERY, AND PRIORITY OF SERVICE
(Continued) 1C6 Issued by Date Filed Oct 25, 2016 Advice Ltr. No. 2522-G Dan Skopec Effective Nov 1, 2016 Vice President Decision No. D.16-07-008 Regulatory Affairs Resolution No.
A. Service Conditions
The utility will use reasonable diligence and care to avoid any shortage or interruption of gas supply. The utility shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any failure to deliver gas to the customer, which failure in any way or manner results from breakage of its facilities, however caused, war, riots, acts of God, strikes, failure of, or interruption in, gas supply, mandatory or voluntary curtailments ordered by the Public Utilities Commission, or other conditions beyond its reasonable control.
B. Temporary Suspension of Service
Whenever necessary for making repairs or improvements to its system, the utility may temporarily suspend the delivery of gas. In all such cases, the utility will provide as much notice as circumstances reasonably permit. Repairs or improvements will be carried out as rapidly as may be practicable, and, if practicable, at such times as will cause the least inconvenience to the customers.
C. Restoration of Service
When curtailment of service is to be decreased, restoration of service shall be made (a) in the same manner as described in Section H but inversely to the order given, and (b) to the level of service which in the judgment of the Utility can be provided. However, the Utility reserves the right to restore service in such order as it deems necessary irrespective of the curtailment order described in Section H herein.
D. Operating Emergency In the event a customer declares an operating emergency, service may be made available out of the
normal curtailment pattern, if in the judgment of the utility it is possible to do so. To the extent operationally feasible, Utility will give preference to critical customers as defined in Rule 1 when they declare an operating emergency.

E. Gas Transportation Service Levels
The utility shall offer the following levels of gas transportation service, and the service levels listed below shall serve as a basis for gas curtailment:
1. Core Service
Firm Inter- & Intrastate Transportation Service. Gas Purchased from the utility. Optional Intrastate Transportation-Only Service. Curtailment based on end-use priorities. Includes all P-1 and P-2A end-use priorities.
2. Noncore Service1
Local Transportation Service. Minimum One-Month Contract Term. No Use-or-Pay Obligations or Charges.
Gas curtailment within each service level is described in Section H. hereunder. In order to notify noncore customers of gas curtailments, the customer must provide and maintain
accurate primary and alternate day/night contact phone numbers and contact names who will be responsible for responding to the utility's notice to curtail gas services. The inability of the utility to notify a noncore gas customer of curtailment due to having out-dated and/or incorrect phone numbers and contact names, will result in the customer being changed to core status for the next 12-month period.
F. End-Use Priority Classification In the event of a curtailment within the core service, the utility will curtail gas supplies in the reverse
order of the assigned end-use priorities described below:
Priority Description
P-1 All residential use regardless of size. All non-residential use through a single meter that is equal to or less than 20,800 therms.
P-2A Non-residential use through a single meter that is greater than an annual monthly
average of 20,800 therms, where the customer has made a minimum two-year election to receive core reliability service.
Electric generation start-up and igniter fuel.
________________________________________ 1. Customers electing noncore service must have Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) equipment installed at customer’s expense at a condition of noncore service.

G. Delivery Point Curtailment Delivery of natural gas may be interrupted in the event of projected or actual capacity constraints or projected or actual supply shortages at system delivery points. In the event of a localized curtailment, customers in the unconstrained areas may continue to receive service while customers that are equal or higher in the curtailment order are curtailed in the constrained area. H. Curtailment of Service
1. When in the judgment of the Utility, operating conditions require curtailment of service, such curtailment shall be effectuated in the order and manner described below, unless otherwise specified in this rule.
(1) In the event of a curtailment being called based on day-ahead forecasts of peak electric generation load as described in H.1.(2), all Dispatchable Electric Generation not currently forecasted to be operating at the time the curtailment order is effective. In the event of a curtailment being called based on real-time demand, all Dispatchable Electric Generation not operating when a curtailment order is issued.
(2) Up to 60% of Dispatched Electric Generation load during November through March and up to 40% of Dispatched Electric Generation load during April through October. To the extent operationally feasible, Utility will attempt to base these curtailments on day-ahead forecasts of peak electric generation loads provided by the relevant electric grid operator(s). To the extent operationally feasible, Utility will work with affected grid operators on a best efforts basis to reallocate the aggregate maximum allowed usage for the remaining Dispatched Electric Generation load among all of the Dispatchable Electric Generation facilities to maintain grid reliability and prevent firm electric load shedding. Any such reallocation shall be at the sole discretion of the Utility, and the default in the absence of reallocation shall be pro rata. If the relevant electric grid operator(s) informs Utility that a proposed curtailment of Dispatched Electric Generation load pursuant to this section could adversely affect electric grid reliability or cause shedding firm electric customer load, Utility may in its sole discretion reduce the proposed curtailment of Dispatched Electric Generation load pursuant to this section and move to the next curtailment step.

Rule No. 30 Sheet 1 TRANSPORTATION OF CUSTOMER-OWNED GAS
(Continued) (TO BE INSERTED BY UTILITY) ISSUED BY (TO BE INSERTED BY CAL. PUC)
ADVICE LETTER NO. 4240 Lee Schavrien DATE FILED May 6, 2011DECISION NO. 11-04-032 Senior Vice President EFFECTIVE Jun 5, 20111C16 Regulatory Affairs RESOLUTION NO.
The general terms and conditions applicable whenever the Utility System Operator transports customer-owned gas, including wholesale customers, the Utility Gas Procurement Department, other end-use customers, aggregators, marketers and storage customers (referred to herein as “customers") over its system are described herein. A. General
1. Subject to the terms, limitations and conditions of this rule and any applicable CPUC authorized tariff schedule, directive, or rule, the customer will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Utility and accept on redelivery quantities of gas which shall not exceed the Utility's capability to receive or redeliver such quantities. The Utility will accept such quantities of gas from the customer or its designee and redeliver to the customer on a reasonably concurrent basis an equivalent quantity, on a therm basis, to the quantity accepted.
2. The customer warrants to the Utility that the customer has the right to deliver the gas provided for in
the customer's applicable service agreement or contract (hereinafter "service agreement") and that the gas is free from all liens and adverse claims of every kind. The customer will indemnify, defend and hold the Utility harmless against any costs and expenses on account of royalties, payments or other charges applicable before or upon delivery to the Utility of the gas under such service agreement.
3. The point(s) where the Utility will receive the gas into its intrastate system (point(s) of receipt, as
defined in Rule No. 1) and the point(s) where the Utility will deliver the gas from its intrastate system to the customer (point(s) of delivery, as defined in Rule No. 1) will be set forth in the customer's applicable service agreement. Other points of receipt and delivery may be added by written amendment thereof by mutual agreement. The appropriate delivery pressure at the point(s) of delivery to the customer shall be that existing at such point(s) within the Utility's system or as specified in the service agreement.
B. Quantities 1. The Utility shall as nearly as practicable each day redeliver to customer and customer shall accept, a
like quantity of gas as is delivered by the customer to the Utility on such day. It is the intention of both the Utility and the customer that the daily deliveries of gas by the customer for transportation hereunder shall approximately equal the quantity of gas which the customer shall receive at the point(s) of delivery. However, it is recognized that due to operating conditions either (1) in the fields of production, (2) in the delivery facilities of third parties, or (3) in the Utility's system, deliveries into and redeliveries from the Utility's system may not balance on a day-to-day basis. The Utility and the customer will use all due diligence to assure proper load balancing in a timely manner.

ADVICE LETTER NO. 4842 Dan Skopec DATE FILED Jul 31, 2015DECISION NO. Vice President EFFECTIVE Apr 1, 20162C12 Regulatory Affairs RESOLUTION NO.
B. Quantities (Continued) 2. The gas to be transported hereunder shall be delivered and redelivered as nearly as practicable at
uniform hourly and daily rates of flow. The Utility may refuse to accept fluctuations in excess of ten percent (10%) of the previous day's deliveries, from day to day, if in the Utility's opinion receipt of such gas would jeopardize other operations. Customers may make arrangements acceptable to the Utility to waive this requirement.
3. The Utility does not undertake to redeliver to the customer any of the identical gas accepted by the
Utility for transportation, and all redelivery of gas to the customer will be accomplished by substitution on a therm-for-therm basis.
4. Transportation customers, including the Utility Gas Procurement Department, wholesale customers,
contracted marketers, and Core Transport Agents (CTAs) will be provided monthly balancing services in accordance with the provisions of Schedule No. G-IMB.
C. Electronic Bulletin Board 1. The Utility prefers and encourages customers, including the Utility Gas Procurement Department, to
use Electronic Bulletin Board (EBB) as defined in Rule No. 1 to submit their transportation nominations to the Utility. Imbalance trades are to be submitted through EBB or by means of the Imbalance Trading Agreement Form (Form 6544). Use of EBB is not mandatory for transportation only customers.
2. Transportation nominations may be submitted manually or through EBB. D. Operational Requirements 1. Customer Representation The customer must provide to the Utility the name(s) of any agents ("Agent") used by the customer
for delivery of gas to the Utility for transportation service hereunder and their authority to represent customer.
A customer may choose only one of the following gas supply arrangements: 1) one Contracted
Marketer, 2) one or multiple Agents (in addition to a Contracted Marketer if desired), or 3) itself for purposes of nominating to its end-use account (OCC).

2. Receipt Points
Utility accepts nominations from transportation customers or their representatives at the following Receipt Points into the SoCalGas system, as referenced in Schedule No. G-BTS*:
• El Paso Pipeline at Blythe (Southern Transmission Zone) • North Baja Pipeline at Blythe (Southern Transmission Zone) • Transportadora de Gas Natural de Baja California at Otay Mesa (Southern Transmission
Zone) • Kern River Pipeline and Mojave Pipeline (Wheeler Transmission Zone) • PG&E at Kern River Station (Wheeler Transmission Zone) • Occidental of Elk Hills at Gosford (Wheeler Transmission Zone) • Transwestern Pipeline at North Needles (Northern Transmission Zone) • Transwestern Pipeline at Topock (Northern Transmission Zone) • El Paso Pipeline at Topock (Northern Transmission Zone) • Questar Southern Trails Pipeline at North Needles (Northern Transmission Zone) • Kern River Pipeline and Mojave Pipeline at Kramer Junction (Northern Transmission Zone) • Line 85 (California Supply) • North Coastal (California Supply) • Other (California Supply) • Storage
* Additional Receipt Points will be added as they are established in the future.
3. Backbone Transmission Capacity
Each day, Receipt Point and Backbone Transmission Zone capacities will be set at their physical operating maximums under the operating conditions for that day. The Utility will schedule nominations for each Receipt Point and Backbone Transmission Zone to the maximum operating capacity of that individual Receipt Point or Backbone Transmission Zone. The maximum operating capacity is defined as the facility design or contractual limitation to deliver gas into the Utility’s system adjusted for operational constraints (i.e. maintenance, localized restrictions, and upstream delivery pressures) as determined each day.
The NAESB elapsed pro rata rules require that the portion of the scheduled quantity that would have theoretically flowed up to the effective time of the intraday nomination be confirmed, based upon a cumulative uniform hourly quantity for each nomination period affected. As such, the scheduled quantities for each shipper are subject to change in the Intraday 1 Cycle, the Intraday 2 Cycle, and the Intraday Cycle 3. However, each shipper’s resulting scheduled quantity for the Gas Day will be no less than the elapsed prorated scheduled quantity for that shipper.

D. Operational Requirements (Continued)
3. Backbone Transmission Capacity (Continued) Each day, the Utility will use the following rules to confirm nominations to the Receipt Point and Backbone Transmission Zone maximum operating capacities. The Utility will also use the following rules to confirm nominations to the system capacity limitation as defined in Section F for OFO events during the Intraday 1 and Intraday 2 cycles; and during the Intraday 2 cycle when an OFO event is not called and nominations exceed system capacity. Confirmation Order:
• Nominations using Firm Primary backbone transportation rights will be first; pro-rated if over-nominated*.
• Nominations using Firm Alternate backbone transportation rights within the associated transmission zone will be second (“Firm Alternate Within-the-Zone”); pro-rated if over-nominated.
• Nominations using Firm Alternate backbone transportation rights outside the associated transmission zone will be third (“Firm Alternate Outside-the-Zone”); pro-rated if over-nominated.
• Nominations using Interruptible backbone transportation rights will be fourth, pro-rated if over-nominated.
• Southern Transmission Receipt Points will not be reduced in any cycle below 110% of the Southern System minimum flowing supply requirement established by the Gas Control Department.
Bumping Rules:
• Firm Primary rights can “bump” any Firm Alternate scheduled quantities through the Evening Cycle.
• Firm Alternate Within-the-Zone rights can “bump” Firm Alternate Outside-the-Zone scheduled quantities through the Evening Cycle.
• Firm Primary and any Firm Alternate can “bump” interruptible scheduled quantities through the Intraday 2 Cycle subject to the NAESB elapsed pro-rata rules.
• Bumping will not be allowed in the Intraday 3 Cycle. * If the available firm capacity at a particular receipt point or within a particular transmission zone
is less than the firm capacity figures stated in Schedule No. G-BTS, scheduling of firm backbone transportation capacity nominations will be pro rata within each scheduling cycle. Any nominations of firm backbone transportation rights acquired through the addition of Displacement Backbone Transmission Capacity facilities will be reduced pro rata to zero at the applicable receipt point or within the applicable transmission zone prior to other firm backbone transportation rights nominations being reduced.

3. Backbone Transmission Capacity (Continued)
Priority Rules: a. Firm primary scheduled quantities in the Evening Cycle will have priority over a new firm
primary nomination made in the Intraday 1 Cycle. b. Firm Alternate Inside-the-Zone scheduled quantities in the Evening Cycle will have priority
over a new Firm Alternate Inside-the-Zone nomination made in the Intraday 1 Cycle. c. Firm Alternate Outside-the-Zone scheduled quantities in the Evening Cycle will have
priority over a new Firm Alternate Outside-the-Zone nomination made in the Intraday 1 Cycle.
d. Interruptible scheduled quantities in the Evening Cycle will have priority over a new Interruptible nomination made in the Intraday 1 Cycle.
e. This same structure will be applied in going from Intraday 1 Cycle (Cycle 3) to Intraday 2 Cycle (Cycle 4) to Intraday 3 Cycle (Cycle 5). However, this hierarchy will not affect Intraday 4 Cycle (Cycle 6) nominations or the elapsed pro-rata rule.
4. Storage Service Capacity
Each day, storage injection and withdrawal capacities will be set at their physical operating maximums under the operating conditions for that day and posted on the Utility’s EBB. These capacities will take into account offsetting injection or withdrawal activity that effectively increase withdrawal or injection capacities. Injection nominations will be held to the injection capacity specified in the Operational Flow Order (OFO) calculation on the EBB in every flowing cycle regardless of OFO status.* The Utility will use the following rules to limit the nominations to the storage maximums. As necessary, withdrawal or injection allocated to the daily balancing function will be set aside and given first priority every day.
• Nominations using Firm storage rights will have the next priority, pro-rated, if necessary to the available storage capacity.
• All other nominations using Interruptible storage rights will have the lowest priority, pro-rated if over-nominated based on the daily volumetric price paid.
• On low OFO days the volume of interruptible withdrawal will be cut in half relative to the calculation on a non-OFO day. If interruptible nominations immediately prior to the low OFO were above this level, then they will be held constant through the low OFO.
• Firm storage rights can “bump” interruptible scheduled storage quantities through the Intraday 3 cycle.
Notice to bumped parties will be provided via the Transactions module in EBB. Bumping is subject
to the NAESB elapsed prorata rules.

5. Off-System Delivery (OSD) Service
For each flow date, the Utility will determine the quantity of capacity available for off-system deliveries. The quantity will include that available via physical redelivery from the Utility system along with displacement of forward haul flowing supplies. For each nomination cycle, the Utility customers who have contracted with the Utility for off-system delivery service may submit a nomination for such service pursuant to Schedule No. G-OSD and Section D.6. “Nominations” below, for deliveries to the PG&E system and to the Utility Transmission system’s interconnection points with all interstate and international pipelines, but excluding California-produced gas supply lines. The following rules will be used in scheduling of Off-System Delivery Services:
• Nominations using Firm OSD rights will have first priority; pro-rated if over-nominated. • Nominations using Interruptible OSD rights will have second priority; pro-rated if over-
nominated. • Firm OSD rights can “bump” Interruptible OSD scheduled quantities through the Intraday 2
Cycle, subject to the NAESB elapsed pro-rata rules. • Bumping of Interruptible OSD rights by Firm OSD rights will not be allowed in the
Intraday 3 Cycle. • Both Firm and Interruptible OSD rights, at any Delivery Point, can be reduced in any cycle,
including during curtailment events, (subject to the NAESB elapsed pro rata rules) if, in the sole judgment of the Utility, the discontinuation or reduction of OSD service at that Delivery Point would diminish the need for the Utility to bring additional gas into the Utility’s system at an additional cost or reduce the level of curtailment to any Utility customer.
• Reduction of Interruptible OSD nominations at any Delivery Point will be prorated at that particular Delivery Point.
• Reduction of Firm OSD nominations at any Delivery Point will be prorated at that particular Delivery Point.

8. Confirmation and Ranking Process
A ranking must be received by the Utility at the time the nomination or the confirmation is submitted. The nominating party will rank its supplies and the confirming party will rank its markets. The Utility will then balance the pipeline system using the “lesser of” rule and the rankings submitted.
The ranking will automatically roll from cycle-to-cycle and day-to-day until the nomination end date, unless modified by the nominating entity. If no ranking is submitted at the time the nomination is submitted, the Utility will assign the lowest ranking to the nomination. The Utility will compare the nominations received for each transaction and the corresponding confirmation. If the two quantities do not agree, the “lesser of” the two quantities will be the quantity scheduled by the Utility. Subject to the Utility receiving notification of confirmed transportation from the applicable upstream pipeline(s) and/or operator(s), the Utility will provide scheduled quantities on EBB.
9. As between the customer and the Utility, the customer shall be deemed to be in control and possession of the gas to be delivered hereunder and responsible for any damage or injury caused thereby until the gas has been delivered at the point(s) of receipt. The Utility shall thereafter be deemed to be in control and possession of the gas after delivery to the Utility at the point(s) of receipt and shall be responsible for any damage or injury caused thereby until the same shall have been redelivered at the point(s) of delivery, unless the damage or injury has been caused by the quality of gas originally delivered to the Utility, for which the customer shall remain responsible.
10. Any penalties or charges incurred by the Utility under an interstate or intrastate supplier contract as a
result of accommodating transportation service shall be paid by the responsible customer.
11. Customers receiving service from the Utility for the transportation of customer-owned gas shall pay any costs incurred by the Utility because of any failure by third parties to perform their obligations related to providing such service.

G. Operational Flow Orders and Emergency Flow Orders (Continued) 1. Operational Flow Order (OFO) (Continued)
d. An OFO will normally be ordered with at least twelve (12) hours notice prior to the beginning
of the gas day, or as necessary as dictated by operating conditions. Charges for the first day of the OFO event will not be imposed if notice is given after 8:00 p.m.* Pacific Time the day prior to the start of the OFO event.
e. OFO and EFO compliance and charges will be based on the following for determination of
daily usage quantities:
i. For a Noncore End-Use Customer equipped with automated meter reading device (AMR) and SDG&E’s Electric & Gas Fuel Procurement Department, compliance during an OFO will be based on actual daily metered usage, and the calculation after the OFO event of any applicable noncompliance charge will be based on actual daily metered usage.
ii. For a Noncore End-Use Customer with non-functioning AMR meters, compliance
during an OFO or EFO will be based on the Customer’s actual daily metered usage; or the estimated daily usage in accordance with Section C of SoCalGas Rule 14 will be substituted for the actual daily metered usage when actual metered usage is not available.
iii. For a Noncore End-Use Customer without AMR capability compliance during an OFO
or EFO will be based on the Customer’s MinDQ. iv. For the Utility Gas Procurement Department, the Daily Forecast Quantity will be used as
a proxy for daily usage. v. For core aggregators, their Daily Contract Quantity will be used as a proxy for daily
usage. vi. For a California Producer with an effective California Producer Operational Balancing
Agreement, Form 6452, compliance with an OFO and EFO and calculation of any noncompliance charges will be based on the difference between scheduled receipts and measured receipts for each day of an event. OFO and EFO compliance for a California Producer with an existing non- California Producer Operational Balancing Agreement, Form 6452 access agreement will be treated consistent with the terms of that access agreement.

G. Operational Flow Orders and Emergency Flow Orders (Continued) 1. Operational Flow Order (OFO) (Continued)
f. If a Balancing Agent’s OFO daily gas imbalance exceeds the applicable daily imbalance tolerance
by 10,000 therms or less, the OFO, noncompliance charge will be zero. If the daily gas imbalance amount exceeds the daily imbalance tolerance by more than 10,000 therms, the Balancing Agent will be responsible for the full noncompliance charge; i.e. 10,000 therms will not be deducted from the daily gas imbalance that exceeds the daily imbalance tolerance.
g. The daily measurement quantity used to calculate the Noncompliance Charge for each OFO
event will be the daily quantity recorded as of the month-end close of the applicable month. h. Low OFO noncompliance charges for the gas flow day will be waived when the confirmation
process limiting nominations to system capacity cuts previously scheduled BTS nominations during any of the Intraday 1-3 Cycles.*
i. SoCalGas will have the discretion to waive OFO noncompliance charges for an electric
generation customer who was dispatched after the Intraday 1 (Cycle 3) nomination deadline in response to (1) a SoCalGas System Operator request to an Electric Grid Operator to reallocate dispatched electric generation load to help maintain gas system reliability and integrity, or (2) an Electric Grid Operator request to the SoCalGas System Operator to help maintain electric system reliability and integrity that can be accommodated by the SoCalGas System Operator at its sole discretion. For electric generators served by a contracted marketer, OFO noncompliance charges can be waived under this section only to the extent the contracted marketer nominates their electric generation customer’s gas to the electric generation customer’s Order Control Code.*
2. Emergency Flow Order (EFO)
a. The Utility System Operator’s protocol for declaring an Emergency Flow Order (EFO) is described in Rule No. 41.
b. During an EFO Customer usage must be less than or equal to scheduled supply for a gas day.
EFOs will have a zero percent tolerance and a noncompliance charge of $5.00 plus the Schedule G-IMB Daily Balancing Standby Rate for each therm of usage in excess of scheduled supply.
c. The EFO shall apply to all customers financially responsible for managing and clearing
transportation imbalances (Balancing Agents), including wholesale customers, Contracted Marketers, core aggregators, California Gas Producers and the Utility Gas Procurement Department.

G. Operational Flow Orders and Emergency Flow Orders (Continued)
2. Emergency Flow Order (EFO)
d. When an EFO is in effect interruptible storage withdrawals are limited to one half of the capacity normally available for interruptible withdrawals. Interruptible storage withdrawal capacity is equal to Withdrawal Capacity minus confirmed firm storage withdrawal nominations minus withdrawal allocated to the balancing function.
e. Daily measurement quantities used to determine EFO compliance and charges are the same as
those used to determine OFO compliance and charges. f. The daily measurement quantity used to calculate the noncompliance charges for each EFO
event will be the daily quantity recorded as of the month-end close of the applicable month. 3. Information regarding the System Sendout, Withdrawal Capacity and Net Withdrawals will be made
available to customers on a daily basis via the EBB. 4. If a wholesale customer so requests, the Utility will nominate firm storage withdrawal volumes on
behalf of the customer to match 100% of actual usage assuming the customer has sufficient firm storage withdrawal and inventory rights to match the customer's supply and demand.
5. The Utility will accept intra-day nominations to increase deliveries. 6. In all cases, current rules for monthly balancing and monthly imbalance trading continue to apply.
Quantities not in compliance with the Daily Imbalance Tolerance that are purchased at the daily balancing standby rate are credited toward the monthly 92% delivery requirements. Daily balancing charges remain independent of monthly balancing charges. Noncore daily balancing and monthly balancing charges go to the Purchased Gas Account (PGA). Net revenues from core daily balancing and monthly balancing charges go to the Noncore Fixed Cost Account (NFCA). Schedule No. G-IMB provides details on monthly and daily balancing charges.
H. Accounting and Billing 1. The customer and the Utility acknowledge that on any operating day during the customer's applicable
term of transportation service, the Utility may be redelivering quantities of gas to the customer pursuant to other present or future service arrangements. In such an event, the Utility and customer agree that the total quantities of gas shall be accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Rule No. 23. If there is no conflict with Rule No. 23, the quantities of gas shall be accounted for in the following order:
a. First, to satisfy any minimum quantities under existing agreements.

currently in use at Sempra companies can be leveraged to improve ongoing 1
testing efforts; and 2
Complex software distribution management process currently in place to support 3
the fat client architecture will be simplified. Currently a software image is 4
individually distributed to over 2,500 workstations each time a software 5
enhancement is required. A new, thin client architecture allows a single image to 6
be posted to a small number of dedicated servers and can be done swiftly, with 7
increased reliability, and lower associated costs. 8
The specific details regarding the CIS Front-end Replacement Project cost can be found 9
in Mr. Olmsted’s capital workpapers (Ex. SCG-26-CWP, WP 00774Y – 19128 CIS Front-end 10
Replacement). 11
9. ICDA Phase 1 and 2 12
The forecast for ICDA for 2017, 2018, and 2019 are $520,000, $0 and $0, respectively. 13
The goal of this project is to enable SoCalGas to use customer data to make smarter, 14
faster, and better-informed decisions. ICDA will allow us to develop our capabilities, transform 15
our operations and target business outcomes across five major customer service business areas: 16
1) Billing and Collections; 17
2) Customer Usage; 18
3) Customer Analytics (Programs); 19
4) Consumption Forecasting; and 20
5) Customer Service Orders (CSO). 21
ICDA is a strategic priority and enabler of multiple projects within the Customer Services 22
and Customer Solutions organizations. ICDA’s goal is to develop data analytics capabilities 23
(people, technology and process) that enable the future vision of SoCalGas’ customer analytics. 24
The technology solution accommodates platforms, tools and various sources of customer data, 25
increased data volume generated from Advanced Meter interval data, customer self-service 26
transactional data and external third-party data. Data Analysts, Data Scientists and Data subject-27
matter-experts (people) will use data to analyze customer behavioral patterns, trends, and 28
preferences during the customer evolution process (starting service, requesting service orders, 29
program participation, remittance processing, transferring services, among others). Integrated 30
data will be leveraged for: 31
Page 2
MHB-74
1) Operational and monitoring purposes in the form of self-service reports and 1
dashboards; 2
2) Exploratory and discovery purposes to gain insights from the data, identify 3
patterns and develop models for future operationalization; and 4
3) Operationalization (actionable) implementation of models with transactional 5
systems. 6
The project will continue to develop and enforce its Data Governance and Data Analytics 7
lifecycle frameworks (processes) to develop data analytics capabilities at SoCalGas. 8
The specific details regarding the ICDA Project cost can be found in Mr. Olmsted’s 9
capital workpapers (Ex. SCG-26-CWP, WP 00784H – 81470 Integrated Customer Data & 10
Analytics). 11
10. FOF – Integrated Customer Data & Analytics (ICDA) Phase 3 12
The forecast for FOF – ICDA Phase 3 for 2017, 2018, and 2019 are $1,545,000, 13
$534,000 and $0, respectively. 14
The objective of this project is to continue the enhancement of the ICDA with three key 15
data analytics themes: 16
1. Customer Consumption Profiles – identify customer consumption patterns to be 17
applied throughout multiple use cases; 18
i. Leaking water heater 19
ii. BBQ left on 20
iii. Yard line leak 21
2. Collections Bad Debt Drivers - determine factors having most influence on bad 22
debt; 23
i. Enables targeted strategies to reduce bad debt (reduced bad debt which 24
benefits all rate payers). 25
3. Propensity model for Self Service indicates the likelihood of a particular customer 26
to respond to a targeted marketing strategy (e.g., Marketing paperless communication to area 27
identified through propensity model). 28
Having these analytical data attributes will enable data analysts to drill down into 29
problem areas, identify root causes, initiate actions to mitigate problems, and measure the results 30
of the action. 31

MHB-75
The specific details regarding the FOF – ICDA Phase 3 Project costs can be found in Mr. 1
Olmsted’s capital workpapers (Ex. SCG-26-CWP, WP 007784C – 19110 FOF – ICDA Phase 3). 2
VII. CONCLUSION 3
Customer Services - Office Operations (CSOO) O&M and Capital project justifications 4
were carefully developed and reviewed, and represent a projection of the level of funding 5
necessary to support SoCalGas’ customer service and safety focus for the GRC term. Certain 6
requested increases in costs are necessary to achieve the forecasted efficiency reductions. 7
In summary, these forecasts reflect sound judgment to continuously support and enhance 8
the safe and efficient operation of the SoCalGas CSOO business unit at a reasonable cost. The 9
Commission should adopt the forecasted expenditures discussed in this testimony because they 10
are prudent and reasonable. 11
This concludes my prepared direct testimony. 12

Introduction SoCalGas presents its Ninth Annual Report of System Reliability Issues (Report). This Report covers the time period from April 1, 2017, through March 31, 2018. Pursuant to Section 23 of Rule No. 41, this Report provides information on the following matters:
A. Review of the timing, method, formulas, and all inputs to formulas by which OFO events are triggered;
B. Review of requests for the Operational Hub to acquire additional supplies to meet minimum
flow requirements;
C. Review of Operational Hub purchases/actions to meet minimum flow requirements and plans for the coming year by providing information regarding the individual transactions, including transactions executed pursuant to the Operational Hub contractual arrangements. Transaction‐specific information shall identify price, volume, date, delivery/receipt points, and any special terms;
D. Review the need for any additional minimum flow requirements on the Utility system beyond
then‐current defined requirements; and
E. Review potential additional tools to support system operations and potential system improvements to reduce or eliminate the need for any minimum flowing supply requirements.

A. Operational Flow Orders A High OFO may be issued if the level of scheduled quantities specified from Rule No. 41 in the table below for each transportation nomination cycle exceeds the forecasted system capacity.
Cycle Quantity Used for High OFO Calculation
1) Timely Prior Flow Day – Evening Cycle Scheduled Quantity
2) Evening Current Flow Day – Timely Cycle Scheduled Quantity
3) Intraday 1 Current Flow Day – Evening Cycle Scheduled Quantity
4) Intraday 2 Current Flow Day – Intraday 1 Cycle Scheduled Quantity
5) Intraday 3 Current Flow Day – Intraday 2 Cycle Scheduled Quantity
Forecasted system capacity is the sum of forecasted sendout, physical storage injection capacity and off‐
system scheduled quantities.
Gas Control develops the sendout forecast by using weather data for estimating core demand
(wholesale and retail) and market information and historical data for noncore customer demand
provided by the Customer Strategy and Engagement Department. Gas Control also makes use of
demand forecast data provided directly from the grid operators, including, but not limited to the
California Independent System Operator (CAISO), Los Angeles Department of Water & Power and
Imperial Irrigation District.
A total of 112 High OFO events were called from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018. In the previous
Report period, 98 High OFOs were called. Attachments 1A and 1B provide detailed calculations for each
High OFO event including calculations of forecasted system capacity in comparison to scheduled
quantities.
High OFO events are triggered when scheduled quantities from a previous cycle exceed forecasted
system capacity for a pending cycle. Most of the High OFOs called during a typical Report period occur
during the shoulder months when mild temperatures are prevalent.
Number of High OFOs from April 2017 through March 2018 Apr‐17 May‐17 Jun‐17 Jul‐17 Aug‐17 Sep‐17 Oct‐17 Nov‐17 Dec‐17 Jan‐18 Feb‐18 Mar‐18

A Low OFO will be issued if, on a day prior to this Gas Day, in the sole judgment of Gas Control, the
system forecast of storage withdrawal used for balancing exceeds the withdrawal capacity allocated to
the balancing function. Should SoCalGas’ implementation of a Low OFO prove to be inadequate to
ensure system integrity, SoCalGas may implement other measures including implementing an
Emergency Flow Order (EFO). SoCalGas may invoke EFOs when a forecast or an actual supply and/or
capacity shortage threatens deliveries to End‐Use Customers.
A total of 102 Low OFO events were called from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018. In the previous
Report period, 106 Low OFO events were called. Attachment 2 provides detailed calculations for each
Low OFO event for the Report period. Low OFO events were more prevalent during the colder winter
months.
Number of Low OFOs from April 2017 through March 2018 Apr‐17 May‐17 Jun‐17 Jul‐17 Aug‐17 Sep‐17 Oct‐17 Nov‐17 Dec‐17 Jan‐18 Feb‐18 Mar‐18 7 2 6 1 5 5 4 2 17 14 18 22
Pursuant to Decision (D.) 16‐12‐015, SoCalGas will implement the revised High OFO procedures
approved in D.16‐06‐039 on the first calendar day of the month that follows the month in which the
Aliso Canyon Turbine Replacement Project is placed into service and used for injection purposes. When
the revised High OFO procedures are implemented, a High OFO will be issued if, on a day prior to this
Gas Day, in the sole judgment of Gas Control, the system forecast of storage injection used for balancing
exceeds the injection capacity allocated to the balancing function. Similar to SoCalGas’ existing Low
OFO rules, there will be 5 stages of increasing noncompliance charges. For more information, see
SoCalGas Advice Letter 4997‐A.
B. Requests for Additional Supplies to Meet Minimum Flow Requirements A description of the requests from Gas Control for the Operational Hub to obtain additional supplies to meet Southern System minimum flow requirements from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, can be found in Attachment 3. A total of 20 such requests were made during the Report period.
C. Operational Hub Transactions to Meet Minimum Flow Requirements and Plans for the Coming Year
Details of Operational Hub transactions to meet minimum flow requirements from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018 are provided in Attachment 4. These transactions are baseload and spot supply purchases and sales.
Page 4
Ninth Annual Report of System Reliability Issues
Date Issued: April 24, 2018
Page 5 of 6
During the Report period SoCalGas purchased and sold approximately 12.2 MMDth of baseload supply
at an approximate net cost of 3 cents per Dth or a total approximate net cost of $0.3 million.
During the Report period SoCalGas also purchased and sold approximately 1.1 MMDth of spot market
supply at an approximate net cost of 55 cents per Dth or a total approximate net cost of $0.6 million.
During the Report period SoCalGas did not offer discounted interruptible transportation rates for gas
transported from the El Paso – Ehrenberg receipt point to increase customer delivery of gas into the
Southern System. Details of Southern System interruptible deliveries by month from April 1, 2017
through March 31, 2018 are provided in Attachment 5.
The total System Operator cost of meeting Southern System minimum flow requirements over the April
2017 through March 2018 period was $0.9 million; $0.3 million in Hub baseload purchases and $0.6
million in Hub spot purchases reflected in the System Reliability Memorandum Account (SRMA).
SoCalGas has taken several steps to address the Southern System minimum flow requirements.
For the 2017 summer season, from July 2017 through September 2017, SoCalGas entered 2 baseload gas
purchase agreements totaling 100 MDth/day. In August 2017, SoCalGas entered 3 additional baseload
gas purchase agreements totaling 100 MDth/day. These agreements satisfied summer baseload criteria
set forth in Rule No. 41.
The Fourth Memorandum in Lieu of Contract (MILC) between SoCalGas’ System Operator and Gas
Acquisition for gas supply to support Southern System minimum flow requirements became effective on
November 1, 2016. Its “evergreen” provision is limited to two one‐year terms ending not later than
October 31, 2018.
SoCalGas plans on continuing to use spot purchases, baseload agreements and to evaluate the possible
use of discounted BTS capacity over the next year to meet its Southern System minimum flow
requirements. Baseload purchase agreements were used during the Report period per the guidance
provided by the Commission for future baseload agreements in Resolution G‐3477. SoCalGas also hopes
to continue using agreements between the Utility System Operator and Gas Acquisition to support
SoCalGas’ minimum flow requirements on its Southern System for the coming year as well.
D. Need for Any Additional Minimum Flow Requirements There is no need for any additional minimum flow requirements outside of the Southern System at this time.

Date Issued: April 24, 2018
Page 6 of 6
E. Potential Additional Tools to Support System Operations and Potential System Improvements to Reduce or Eliminate the Need for Minimum Flowing Supply Requirements
Potential Tools
Tools previously identified by SoCalGas to meet this minimum flow requirement include spot purchases,
Requests for Offers (RFOs) to gas suppliers to help meet Southern System flowing supply needs, and
minimum flow obligations, (See D.07‐12‐019, mimeo. at 58‐64.) and MILCs with Gas Acquisition.
On December 20, 2013 SoCalGas and SDG&E filed an application (A.13‐12‐013) for authority to recover
North‐South Project revenue requirement in customer rates, and for approval of related cost allocation
and rate design proposals. SoCalGas and SDG&E proposed the North‐South Project to help maintain
Southern System reliability and alleviate the potential for curtailments of customers on the Southern
System due to a potential mismatch between Southern System customer demand and the volume of
flowing supplies delivered to the Southern System to meet that demand. The Commission issued D.16‐
07‐015, rejecting the North‐South Project.
Rule No. 41 requires SoCalGas and Forum participants to collaborate in good faith to develop a post‐
Forum report that includes identifying any tariff changes that are found to be necessary by Forum
participants. Tariff changes proposed in the Forum will be submitted to the CPUC by Advice Letter no
later than 60 days after the Forum.
Joint Petition for Modification of Decision (D.) 16‐12‐015 Granted (D.17‐11‐021)
On September 8, 2017, SoCalGas, SDG&E, and 20 other parties filed a Joint Petition for Modification
(Joint PFM) of (D.) 16‐12‐015. The Joint PFM sought to extend the term of the Second Daily Balancing
Settlement from November 30, 2017 to November 30, 2018, subject to two other conditions that may
end the settlement term earlier. As it currently exists, the “settlement term will conclude upon the
earlier of: (1) any superseding decision or order by the Commission, (2) return of Aliso Canyon to at least
450 MMcfd of injection capacity and 1,395 MMcfd of withdrawal capacity, or (3) November 30, 2018.” A
similar Joint PFM was filed on February 16, 2017, which sought to extend the term of the Second Daily
Balancing Settlement from March 31, 2017 to November 30, 2017.
The Second Daily Balancing Settlement contains modifications to Schedule No. G‐IMB, Rule No. 30 and
Rule No. 41. These modifications were implemented in response to the operational constraints then in
existence at Aliso Canyon. Since operational constraints were believed to potentially continue beyond
the original settlement term, SoCalGas, SDG&E, and the 20 other parties petitioned for an extension of
the term through the upcoming summer injection season, subject to the conditions specified earlier.

SOCALGAS SECOND INJECTION ENHANCEMENT MEMORANDUM
Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), executes this Second Injection Enhancement Memorandum (Second IEM) to document the activities and direct the manner in which employees of SoCalGas, a public utility gas company regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California (CPUC), shall conduct the relationship between the SoCalGas System Operator1 and the Gas Acquisition Department (Gas Acquisition) to maximize storage injection to support system reliability, as directed by the CPUC.2 This Second IEM is in lieu of execution of a contract by SoCalGas (between the operating and functional departments within SoCalGas) to implement the CPUC’s directive.
1. Background.. On March 13, 2018, the Executive Director of the CPUC sent a letter to SoCalGas directing SoCalGas to file a Tier 2 Advice Letter “proposing an agreement between the SoCalGas System Operator and the SoCalGas Gas Acquisition Department to support SoCalGas’ storage requirements for system reliability similar to the Injection Enhancement Plan and Injection Enhancement Memorandum process approved by Resolution G-3529 (June 29, 2017).”
2. Proposed Injection Enhancement Plan Tools.. The CPUC directed SoCalGas’ Gas Acquisition Department to purchase natural gas to support SoCalGas’ storage requirement for system reliability.To facilitate increases to storage, the System Operator and Gas Acquisition will undertake actions as follows:Period:: The commencement date for the efforts addressed in this Second IEM is retroactive to March 13, 2018. The term of this Second IEM shall continue for each day from the commencement date through and including September 30, 2018.Support Activities:: Every month before Bid Week, the System Operator will set a portion of the storage injection capacity allocated to the system balancing function for injection nominations for the following month in Cycle 1. This quantity will be made available on a best efforts basis considering operational limitations and will be posted on Envoy. Gas Acquisition will use reasonable best efforts to utilize the quantity made available. The day before a gas flow day, the System Operator will determine whether additional injection capacity allocated to the system balancing function above what was made available for the month can be made available for injection nominations in Cycle1. If additional capacity can be made available for Cycle 1, the additional capacity will be reflected in the Net Storage Injection Capacity value on the Capacity Utilization Page on Envoy. The System Operator will use its reasonable best efforts to make this additional quantity available for the remainder of the gas day. Gas Acquisition will use its reasonable best efforts to utilize the quantity made available. Each flow day morning, the System Operator will determine whether additional injection capacity allocated to the system balancing function can be made available for injection nominations in Cycle 3. If additional capacity can be made available for Cycle 3, the additional capacity will be reflected in the Net Storage Injection Capacity value on the Capacity Utilization Page on Envoy. This additional
1 The System Operator is sometimes referred to internally as the “California Energy Hub” or the “Operational Hub.” 2 See March 13, 2018 letter from Alice Stebbins, Executive Director of the CPUC to Bret Lane, President and Chief Operating Officer of SoCalGas (“By this letter, I am directing SoCalGas to immediately begin maximizing storage injections at all storage fields using the procurement capabilities of the SoCalGas Acquisition Department to support SoCalGas' storage requirement for system reliability.”)
Page 21
quantity will be made available on a best efforts basis for the remainder of the gas day. Gas Acquisition will use reasonable best efforts to utilize the quantity made available. Costs:: Incremental costs associated with the Second IEM will be recorded in the Injection Enhancement Cost Memorandum Account.3
Regulatory approval:: This Second IEM will be submitted to the CPUC by Advice Letter and will not become effective until approved by the CPUC. In the event the CPUC does not approve this Second IEM, or imposes terms unacceptable to SoCalGas, this Second IEM will be null and void.
Based upon the foregoing, this Second IEM sets forth the commitment and guidelines by which employees of SoCalGas will interact to maximize storage injections to support system reliability, as directed by the CPUC. All such activity will be conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions of SoCalGas’ tariffs, and other applicable rules and regulations.
Date of execution: March 30, 2018

High Operational Flow Order (High OFO)
• A High OFO is declared when SoCalGas determinesthat expected receipts will exceed total forecastedsystem capacity (including storage injection capacityand latest off‐system scheduled quantities) for apending flow day.
• SoCalGas uses the on‐system scheduled quantitiesfrom the latest scheduling cycle to determineexpected system receipts for the High OFOcalculation.

Agent to another Balancing Agent for any OFO day.
• California Producer pools can trade scheduled quantities with other California Producer pools.
• A scheduled quantity adjustment (SQA) is not an imbalance trade.
• Imbalances are calculated at the end of the month by comparing billing quality meter usage to the final scheduled quantities for each day.

OFO Day Scheduled Quantity Adjustments• The OFO day SQAs are a time consuming, manual process.
• SQA requests for a given gas day must be submitted by both counterparties no later than 9 PM Pacific Time the next business day.
• Each Balancing Agent involved in an SQA must have a scheduled quantity in ENVOY.
• Each Balancing Agent must have at least a zero quantity nomination in order to implement an SQA for an OFO day.
• No nomination = No SQA.
• Adjustments into or out of storage contracts are not allowed.

Summer 2018 Outlook Summary• SoCalGas expects its current pipeline outages to extend through at
least the peak EG summer demand period.
• With these pipeline outages, SoCalGas will be challenged to fill storage inventory for the upcoming winter season.• Insufficient receipt capacity to both serve summer customer demand
and fill storage.
• Without the use of Aliso Canyon, SoCalGas can support a summer EG demand of 1.7 to 1.8 BCFD. With a total system capacity of 3.2 to 3.4 BCFD.
• Greater use of Aliso Canyon can mitigate curtailments and increase storage inventories in the other storage fields.

Summer Storage Assessment (Non-Aliso)
• “Best Case” pipeline supplies allow for maintaining the IEP directive of 1,320 MMcfd of withdrawal through the summer.
• “Worst Case” pipeline supplies are insufficient for demand.• Non-Aliso fields are completely depleted of inventory in October.
• 95% receipt point utilization improves inventory, but 1,320 MMcfd of withdrawal cannot be maintained through the peak summer period.

Maintaining Summer Energy Reliability• SoCalGas remains focused on increasing its storage inventory.
• Advice Letter 5275-A filed April 20, 2018 to further enhance storage injection capability to increase inventory.
• SoCalGas will continue to coordinate operations with CAISO and LADWP.
• SoCalGas will use OFOs and the Aliso Canyon Withdrawal Protocol which includes curtailments.
• Maintenance will continue to be scheduled during periods of low demand except for identified safety issues or regulatory requirements.
• SoCalGas is still reviewing the agencies’ technical assessment and has some concerns with regards to the assumptions and conclusions and the viability and practical implementation of the suggested mitigation measures.

contain technology that is outdated and no longer compatible with our IT infrastructure. 1
Therefore, these communication trailers will require a complete redesign and/or 2
replacement to support the emergency events in the field. Earlier in my non-shared cost 3
section (SoCalGas Emergency Services), I discussed the underlying emergency response 4
and preparedness policies for this item in justification of my sponsored cost. 5
2. High OFO_EFO TCAP ENVOY® 6
In Decision (D.)16-06-039 (Decision Addressing the Phase 1 Issues and the Joint 7
Motion to Adopt the Settlement Agreement) in A. 14-12-017, the Commission approved 8
SoCalGas’ request to seek, in its next general rate case, recovery of costs related to High 9
OFO information system enhancements.15 10
System enhancements were implemented in ENVOY® and in the Specialized 11
Contract Billing System (SCBS) to support compliance with proposed changes to 12
SoCalGas tariff G-IMB, Rule 30, and Rule 41. Enhancements and modifications 13
included changing SCBS billing logic to assess the new high operational flow order 14
compliance, to remove the previous buy-back logic, and to calculate and bill balancing 15
charges. Enhancements to ENVOY® included modification of affected reports, 16
monitoring pages, and noticing pages. Costs in 2017 will relate to the completion of the 17
enhancements and modifications. 18
3. Low OFO and EFO 19
In D.15-06-004, the Commission granted SoCalGas permission to implement 20
Low OFO and EFO procedures and establish the OFCMA to track the costs associated 21
with the implementation.16 The execution required substantial system enhancements in 22
ENVOY® and in the SCBS. These enhancements were necessary to support compliance 23
with proposed changes to SoCalGas tariff G-IMB, Rule 30, and Rule 41 and included 24
modifications to the SCBS billing logic to assess the new low and emergency operational 25
flow order compliance, to remove the previous winter balancing logic, and to calculate 26
and bill balancing charges. Enhancements to ENVOY® included modification of 27
15 See D.16-06-039 at 64 (OP 12). 16 See D.15-06-004 at 42-44 (OP 6-13).

affected reports, monitoring pages, and noticing pages. In my testimony below I provide 1
more information about the project and the reasonableness of the costs in the OFCMA. 2
4. ENVOY® Generation MA (Microservice Architecture) 3
The existing ENVOY® system was developed over many years and consists of 4
legacy coding, software architecture, and programing that has been piecemealed together 5
to effectuate and enforce regulatory changes. The result is a system that is difficult and 6
costly to modify and adjust in a new regulatory environment that changes rapidly. 7
SoCalGas proposes to replace the existing ENVOY® system from the ground up, 8
making the system more flexible and customer friendly, allowing it to adapt quickly to 9
regulatory changes and enhancing the customer experience. Modularizing the 10
architecture of ENVOY® will make it more configurable. The individual functions and 11
business rules that are processed in the system will be coupled loosely allowing for 12
individual updates and deployments, permitting Gas Scheduling to quickly and efficiently 13
comply with regulatory mandates. To improve customer experience, ENVOY® will 14
further enhance and optimize the mobile capabilities on multiple platforms. 15
Computational graphics and event driven architecture will be used to disseminate 16
information to the marketplace quickly and allow for complex computations to be 17
displayed interactively. By utilizing suggestive transactions, ENVOY® will predict and 18
display the results of customers’ actions allowing the customer to analyze the potential 19
outcome prior to committing to the transaction. 20
5. ENVOY® Next Generation 21
The SoCalGas ENVOY® Next Generation Project entails a fully revamped 22
interface and navigational menus, expanded to provide customers with up-to-date 23
information, additional data querying functions and reporting, additional accessibility 24
(neutral web browser use and mobile platforms), customizable account functions, and 25
stronger web security. These additional capabilities were developed based on input from 26
ENVOY® service users. The project is divided into multiple phases. Phase I of the 27
project was developed and implemented in 2016. Phase II and Phase III were developed 28
and implemented in 2017. Phase IV will be developed in the later part of 2017 and will 29
be implemented in early 2018. 30

Interagency Cooperation, Lower Demand and OFOs
Helped Limit Curtailments throughout 2016 and 2017
• Manageable demands, supported largely by cooperative weather
helped offset limited supply
• Low OFOs used frequently to maintain balance
• Notices, watches and other alerts when necessary
• Only 2 days with EG curtailment, until February 2018
• Constant monitoring and work between SoCalGas, CAISO and
LADWP to shift generation, use imports key

Late Winter Cold with the Outages Caused Curtailment
• Avoided expected curtailments in
December and January due to warm
weather
• Cold spell February 18 through March 6
• CAISO and LADWP reduced gas burn
(i.e., curtailed)
• Withdrew from Aliso in few hours over six
days (total of 1.1 Bcf)
• Using Aliso as asset of last resort
reduced operating flexibility
• Lower inventory reduces withdrawal
capacity as field pressure declines as

• Preliminary review shows system receipts consistently less than
system demand
– Both daily AND hourly
– zero hours in which receipt point capacity on SoCalGas system
was fully utilized
– ~6 MDth was available in every hour = 144 MDth or ~140 MMcfd

Overall Finding for Summer 2018: Risk Remains
Despite 24.6 Bcf at Aliso
Good News:
• Gas required for minimum
generation on 1-in-10 peak day
lower
Bad News:
• Continuing pipeline outages
• Uncertain physical system
mitigation
• “Supported Demand” is lower
Page 13
End Result: • Have to use storage more heavily this summer
• Cannot meet 1-in-10 electricity peak day with N-1 without gas from
storage
• Cannot meet it at all in sensitivity case with more outages
• Minimum generation appears achievable but is NOT recommended
to drop EG to “mingen” levels due to challenge of available supply
and transmission
• More OFOs likely
• Outlook for winter storage inventory uncertainPage 14
SoCalGas System Capacity is Impaired Due to Continuing
and New Pipeline Outages
• Gas system has lower capacity this summer because key pipelines
out of service– Pipeline capacity reduced by 255 – 860 MMcfd versus last summer
– Supported Demand reduced by 83 – 213 MMcfd versus last summer
• MinGen requirement reduced by 296 MMcfd versus last summer
• Pipeline Capacity is ~500 MMcfd lower than last summer
– Could improve with system mitigation
– Could be worse with more outages and limited or no system
mitigation

Serving Supported Demand Uses More Storage This
Summer Due to Pipeline Outages
• Anytime demand > pipeline capacity, must use storage
• Achieving supported demand makes greater use of
storage than in previous summer: 468 vs. 900
• Substantial summer storage use reduces field inventories
• Expect more OFOs, both high and low

Summer 2018 Minimum Generation Requirement = 1,574 MMcfd
• Minimum Generation is the gas needed to prevent electricity service
outages and no more
• CAISO shifts generation to other units outside the SoCalGas service
area; LADWP needs imports from external entities to achieve
“MinGen”
• Departs from economic dispatch; increases cost of electricity
• Achievable only if
– all electric transmission lines operating at full capacity
– the replacement units have access to gas
• Calculations by CAISO and LADWP
• Last summer’s near 1-in-10 year peak day required 2,028 MMcfd
• “MinGen” gas requirement = 1,574 MMcfd
Page 18
Page 19
• Supported Demand is Lower but so Is EG Minimum Generation
• Results in increased cost to serve electric load
• Only feasible when sufficient external energy supplies are available
• Assumes 100% Electric Transmission is Available and Used
• Turns into a shortfall somewhere between 85 and 90 percent electric
transmission utilization at which point withdrawal from Aliso Canyon
may be necessary to avoid interruption to electric service

– Use existing rules to call high and low OFOs more frequently and together
when necessary
– Identify and expedite pending transmission upgrades with potential to
reduce MinGen requirement
– Monitor status of US Department of Energy NG demand response pilot

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION 505 VAN NESS AVENUE
SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94102-3298
Aliso Canyon Withdrawal Protocol
11.2.17
Introduction
Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) may withdraw gas from the Aliso Canyon natural
gas storage facility (Aliso Canyon) consistent with the protocol defined below. The protocol
implements the following principles:
Aliso Canyon will be treated as the “asset of last resort” used for withdrawals after
all other alternatives have been exhausted as defined by the protocol and consistent with items 1.A. and 1.B, below;
The priority of service under Southern California Gas Company Rule No. 23 shall remain in place should curtailments be required;
If curtailments are required, SoCalGas shall consult with the applicable Balancing Authorities (the California Independent System Operator [CAISO] and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power [LADWP]) before and during any curtailment;
Should curtailments to electric generation create a risk to electric load that is critical to health and safety, withdrawals may be made consistent with the protocol; and
Withdrawals will be made in a manner that ensures safety, maintains the integrity of the wells and storage facility, and is consistent with all rules and regulations concerning the safe use of Aliso Canyon.
Aliso Canyon Withdrawal Protocol
1. Withdrawals from Aliso Canyon. Withdrawals from Aliso Canyon will be based on
forecasted and known conditions including but not limited to weather, overall gas demand,
electric generation gas demand, and the current and anticipated operating condition of the
SoCalGas system. Withdrawals will be made when, in coordination with the Balancing
Authorities, it is determined that withdrawals are necessary to maintain reliability overall, to
respond to a risk to electric system reliability, and/or to avoid or to limit curtailments to core and
noncore customers. In all cases, withdrawals may only be made consistent with safe operation of
the field and the system and in compliance with any mandated protocols for production from the
field.
Within this context, withdrawals will be made if the circumstances described in A or B, below,
occur:
Page 1
A. The following three conditions exist:
(1) SoCalGas has taken all appropriate actions it deems available and necessary to meet demand and to avoid curtailment of electric load and/or gas curtailments to core and noncore, non-electric generation customers. Such actions include the use of operational and emergency flow orders and coordination with Balancing Authorities to limit and/or reduce demand in effected areas; and
(2) To avoid curtailments of electric load, the CAISO and/or LADWP, in coordination with SoCalGas, have activated their appropriate capacity emergency plans based on the existing and forecast conditions; and
(3) There remains an imminent risk that curtailments of electric load will occur without additional gas supply.
B. There is an imminent and identifiable risk of gas curtailments created by an emergency condition that would impact public health and safety or result in curtailments of electric load that could be mitigated by withdrawals from Aliso Canyon. Such risk could arise due to emergencies on the gas pipeline system or because conditions require additional gas supply otherwise unavailable. Under such circumstances, when reliability is at risk and curtailment is imminent, SoCalGas may, at its sole discretion, execute a withdrawal from Aliso Canyon.
2. Readiness of the Aliso Canyon Field. SoCalGas shall take all actions necessary to allow for
timely withdrawals and shall maintain the Aliso Canyon field on a standby basis as warranted by
forecasted conditions/ risks to system reliability. Further, if at any time the CAISO declares a
Flex Alert, SoCalGas shall coordinate with the CAISO and LADWP and make any preparations
necessary to allow for a timely withdrawal.
3. Executing a Withdrawal Under Conditions Defined in 1.A. As operator of the Aliso
Canyon storage facility, SoCalGas has the obligation to make an informed decision to withdraw
gas from Aliso Canyon under the conditions defined in 1.A. above. In confirmation that those
conditions have been met, SoCalGas shall contact the Balancing Authorities and confirm that
they (the Balancing Authorities) have met the conditions in number 1.A. For information
purposes, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) shall be included in such contacts
and may participate as appropriate.
Communications may be made using any method acceptable to SoCalGas, the CPUC, and the
Balancing Authorities. SoCalGas, the Balancing Authorities, and the CPUC shall make all
arrangements for the required communications and confirmations necessary with executing a
withdrawal.
4. Noticing and Reporting. SoCalGas shall immediately notify the CPUC Energy Division
(Energy Division) of the following: issuance of a Stage 4 or 5 Operational Flow Order or an
Emergency Flow Order; in the event of an emergency that threatens system reliability and may
require electric curtailments; and at the initiation of withdrawals from Aliso Canyon.
Within 24 hours of the cessation of a withdrawal from Aliso Canyon, SoCalGas shall provide the
Energy Division with the following:
Page 2
the total and hourly withdrawals from the field; the number of wells used for making withdrawals and the SoCalGas identifier for
each well used; the pre- and post-withdrawal Aliso working gas inventory; the hourly pipeline receipts for the calendar day(s) on which a withdrawal was
made and the day immediately preceding the withdrawal; the hourly withdrawals by field from non-Aliso storage facilities for the calendar
day(s) on which a withdrawal was made and the day immediately preceding the withdrawal;
information concerning any anomalies experienced during the operation of the field;
any repairs or mitigation required as a result of the withdrawal, including the time necessary to make them before another withdrawal could be made and the impact on the field’s injection and withdrawal capacity; and
whether the withdrawal was made under conditions identified in 1. B.
Within 30 days after a withdrawal, SoCalGas shall provide the Energy Division with a full
description of the events and conditions leading up to the withdrawal, all actions taken prior to
the withdrawal, and any observations or recommendations concerning the execution of future
withdrawals. Further, SoCalGas shall identify and describe any steps or actions not taken that
could have diminished or eliminated the need for a withdrawal and make comments and/or
recommendations for future consideration.
If a withdrawal from Aliso Canyon was due to an activation of the CAISO or LADWP
emergency plans as described in Section 1.A., the Balancing Authorities agree to submit a
description of the event that includes forecast demand, operating reserve requirements, and
anticipated capacity deficiencies based on the requested gas curtailments for the impacted hours.
The CAISO and/or LADWP may also:
a) identify and describe any steps or actions not taken that could have diminished or eliminated the need for a withdrawal, and
b) make comments and/or recommendations for future consideration.
5. Effective Date. This protocol shall become effective November 1, 2017. The protocol shall
remain in effect, subject to modification through the completion of the CPUC Investigation
(I.)17-02-002, or such time as determined based on conditions.
