ELECTRIC ESP DIRECT ACCESS PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES
Overview
This chapter focuses primarily on the types of documents which Electric ESPs will need to submit prior to participation in Direct Access (DA). The chapter also discusses the timing involved with reviewing and processing the documentation submitted by Electric ESPs.
Prerequisites
Prior to starting DA preliminary procedures, an Electric ESP must register with the CPUC if it intends to serve “Small Customers.” Small Customers are defined per revised Rule 1 as customers on demand-metered schedules (A-10 and E-19V), with less than 50kW maximum billing demand per meter for at least nine (9) billing periods during the most recent twelve (12) month period or any customer on a non-demand metered schedule (A-1 and A-6).
Detailed information regarding registering with the CPUC can be obtained by visiting the CPUC Web site (see Information Websites at the end of Chapter 1 in this handbook).

CREDIT EVALUATION PARAMETERS
Electric ESPs who satisfy primary or alternate creditworthiness requirements as described below may offer Consolidated ESP billing to end-use customers. The parameters for credit evaluations and security deposits are summarized below. Electric ESPs should consult PG&E’s DA Rule 22, Section N for comprehensive details regarding credit evaluation provisions.
PRIMARY CREDIT REQUIREMENTS
PG&E will consider an Electric ESP creditworthy if it has obtained a credit rating of either:
• Baa2 or higher from Moody’s
• BBB or higher from Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, or Duff & Phelps
The credit evaluation may be conducted by an outside credit analysis agency, as determined by PG&E.
ALTERNATE CREDIT REQUIREMENTS
Electric ESPs may provide credit security in lieu of satisfying the unsecured credit requirements outlined above. The amount of the security required to establish credit will be twice the estimated maximum monthly bill for PG&E charges.
With PG&E’s approval, credit security may be in the form of any of the following:
1. Cash deposit
2. Letter of credit
3. Surety bond

Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 25
Electronic data exchange synopsis Participation in DA will require that Electric ESPs are capable of exchanging service account information electronically with PG&E. Currently all DA information is transmitted using data transfer protocol, which allows Electric ESPs to submit administrative DA transactions (i.e. DA setup, DA service termination, meter usage, billing service options, customer service account changes, etc.) to PG&E through the Internet. Data exchange between PG&E and the ESP is accomplished when the ESP retrieves response data from a data directory that has been established for them. Data entry and Internet connectivity will be facilitated by the Data Exchange Service (DES), which Electric ESPs can easily install locally on their systems.
Additionally, the transmission of financial information (i.e. Electric ESP/PG&E charges and payments) will be required via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) protocol will also be required for Electric ESPs who plan to offer the Consolidated ESP billing option to end-use customers.
1. Prepare systems setup for electronic data exchange The first step involved with electronic data transfer is to establish a systems environment which can support the processing requirements related to DASRs and Consolidated ESP billing transactions. The following requirements summarized below are further elaborated upon in Sections C and D of Rule 22:
1. An Electric ESP will be required to meet electronic data exchange requirements as specified by PG&E. To commence the process for establishing this requirement, the Electric ESP must contact PG&E.
2. PG&E may allow alternative arrangements to electronic data exchange at its discretion for certain transactions.
3. An Electric ESP must have the capability to exchange data with PG&E via the Internet.
4. The Electric ESP must have the capability to communicate to and from Metering and Data Management Agent (MDMA) servers for the sharing of meter reading and usage data.
5. The Electric ESP must have the capability to perform Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) if it will be offering ESP or UDC Consolidated billing options.
6. To commence the process for establishing EDI, the Electric ESP must contact PG&E and shall be required to enter into a trading partner agreement in the form by completing and submitting the EDI Trading Partner Agreement to PG&E.
2. Review electronic transfer procedures and rules as designated by PG&E for DES and EDI (if applicable).
Electric ESPs who participate in DA with PG&E will need to conform to specific electronic transfer procedures and rules as discussed below.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 26
DATA TRANSFER SPECIFICS: HOW DES IS USED TO EXCHANGE DA INFORMATION
DES was developed specifically to transmit gas and electricity utility metering, billing, and administrative information contained within DASRs between Electric ESPs, UDCs, Metering Agents (MA), and Billing Agents (BA).
Information is transmitted between the Electric ESP and PG&E through DES over the Internet (World Wide Web). All DASRs that the Electric ESP submits through DES are transmitted to a data repository external to PG&E’s firewall called the “QUE” and are automatically time stamped upon arrival. The time stamp determines the priority of the DASR. These DASRs are then forwarded in order of priority to a server inside PG&E’s firewall called the PG&E DASR Interface (“DASR Interface”), where they are further processed by priority within PG&E’s Customer Information System (CIS).
DASRs that PG&E transmits to the Electric ESP are initially placed in the DASR Interface and then forwarded to the QUE, from which the Electric ESP can download or view the DASRs.
The diagram below depicts the information channels used when DASRs are submitted.

EDI data transfer
Electronic Data Interchange, (EDI) is the exchange of business data in a standardized format between business computer systems. EDI represents a fundamental change in the way companies transact business. It replaces paper-intensive functions with efficient electronic transactions and eliminates the need for printing and mailing business information. By using standard formats and languages, the
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 28
computerized data can be electronically transmitted between two companies and interpreted automatically.
The process of sending data via EDI requires a series of steps on the part of the sending and receiving partners (known as Trading Partners). Once the foundation of your EDI message is defined, most of these steps will be either automated or procedures will be developed.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company presently utilizes Value Added Networks (VAN's) for EDI Outbound 810 billing transactions. We also have the ability to utilize EDI over Internet connectivity for EDI Outbound 810 billing transactions to Energy Service Providers.
The EDI contacts below can provide valuable guidance and advice. EDI Direct Access transaction sets are summarized below the contact table.

EDI Direct Access transaction sets
TRANSACTION SET 810 - BILLING
The 810 Transaction Set is used to provide established PG&E billing data in an electronic format to its customers. The billing data provided electronically reflects the same information that appears on a traditional paper bill and is consistent with national standards for EDI.
TRANSACTION SET 814 - DIRECT ACCESS SERVICE REQUEST (DASR)
The 814 Transaction Set or DASR is sent between the Utility and Energy Service Providers (ESPs) for purposes such as connecting a customer (i.e. Connect Request), updating a significant customer event (i.e. Update Request/Notification), or disconnecting a customer (i.e. Disconnect Request).
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 29
NOTE: that an Electric ESP that exchanges 814 EDI data with PG&E must also be able to receive 867 EDI. The 867 is used to pass the required 12 months of usage history for the customer to the Electric ESP.
TRANSACTION SET 820 - PAYMENT AND REMITTANCE ORDER
The 820 Transaction Set is used to make a payment and send a remittance advice. This transaction set can be an order to a financial institution to make a payment to a payee. It can also be a remittance advice identifying the detail needed to perform cash application to the payee's accounts receivable system. PG&E's application requires that the 820 go through a financial institution.
867 - METER USAGE
The 867 Transaction Set is used to transfer meter usage data. Where the Electric ESP is the MDMA the 867 will be sent to PG&E as in inbound file. Where PG&E is the MDMA the 867 will be sent as an outbound file to the Electric ESP. Refer to the implementation checklists below for both the 867 inbound and outbound requirements.
997 - FUNCTIONAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The “Draft Standard for Trial Use” contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Functional Acknowledgment Transaction Set (997),. Transaction Set 997 can be used to define the control structures for a set of acknowledgments to indicate the results of the syntactical analysis of the electronically encoded documents. The encoded documents are the transaction sets, which are grouped in functional groups, used in defining transactions for business data interchange. This standard does not cover the semantic meaning of the information encoded in the transaction sets.
Test the viability and accuracy of data transferred to PG&E using DES PG&E requires each Electric ESP to conduct electronic data transfer testing. Therefore, the Electric ESP will need to develop a viable test plan with respect to testing the transfer of DA information to PG&E via DES. Testing requirements, testing implementation framework, and required downloadable programs are available to Electric ESPs on the DES Web site.

PROCESSING DIRECT ACCESS SERVICE REQUESTS (DASRS)
Overview
This chapter discusses the processing cycle associated with Direct Access Service Requests (DASRs) and the establishment of Electric ESP services to include: DA enrollment, cancellation of DASRs, DA service termination, and DA account maintenance. The chapter also describes how DASRs are prioritized for processing once received by PG&E and when DA service will commence after a setup DASR has been accepted.
Definition of Terms Direct Access Service Requests (DASRs) are the electronic records used to initiate, update and cancel Direct Access service options between Electric ESPs and end-use customers. Electric ESPs are authorized by end-use customers to submit DASRs for service accounts that desire to switch to DA, change Electric ESPs, cancel DA, etc. An approved DASR will become a part of the ESP Service Agreement and will be used to define the services that PG&E will be providing to the customer.
Customers with more than one account with PG&E at the same premises may choose DA or full service for each separate account. However, a customer may not partition the load at a single meter or on a single account with multiple meters.
In order to establish DA service for end-use customers, Electric ESPs must submit DASRs, which provide detailed information about the service requirements for a given customer. An end-use customer may not directly submit a DASR to PG&E unless that customer has agreed to act as an Electric ESP on its own behalf. The Electric ESP must submit all DASR information electronically through DES using the protocol discussed previously within the Electronic Data Exchange section of Chapter 2: Direct Access Setup.

• Prepare information systems setup for electronic data exchange. (See Chapter 2)
• Confirm the viability and accuracy of information transferred to PG&E by performing data exchange testing in accordance with PG&E requirements. (See Chapter 2)
• Meet the requirements of CPUC Code Section 365(b)(2) (renewable supplier status) if the DASR indicates that the Customer and Electric ESP claim the status afforded by that code section. DASRs in which the Electric ESP and the Customer claim the status afforded by Section 365(b)(2) will be given priority in the processing of the DASR in the event of backlog.
Additionally, Electric ESP customers who wish to obtain DA services are subject to the following requirements and conditions:
• A customer must have a service account number assigned by PG&E before the customer may authorize an Electric ESP to submit a DASR on its behalf. If the customer is new to the service territory or is moving to a different physical location within the service territory, the customer must first establish an account with PG&E and receive an account number. This account number will be used for the submission of the initial DASRs.

Procedures
This section provides a detailed discussion of the process steps outlined within the Checklist of Key Steps.
1. Electric ESP obtains customer authorization to submit a DASR on its behalf An Electric ESP must receive authorization from the end-use customer in order to submit a DASR on its behalf. The customer can authorize any of the available DASR transactions such as DA setup, DA termination, and switch of Electric ESP.
2. Electric ESP obtains customer CTC Agreement, if required As a condition of receiving DA service, DA customers will be responsible for paying for all Competition Transition Charges (CTC) and other non-bypassable charges authorized by the CPUC for the UDC to recover from customers in accordance with state law. DA customers are required to confirm this responsibility in writing provided to the Electric ESP, unless the customer is exempt from the requirement to provide such a confirmation in writing pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 370. Where the customer disputes its obligations to pay CTC for a particular account, the customer may condition its agreement on resolution of the dispute, provided that the customer has formally requested the CPUC to grant such relief. However, the existence of such a dispute does not relieve the customer from the obligation of paying CTC while the dispute is pending. PG&E will continue to bill the customer (either directly or indirectly through its Electric ESP, depending on the billing option selected) for such charges. The customer must pay all charges, but may pay any amounts in disputes in accordance with Rule 10, pending resolution of the dispute.
3. Electric ESP evaluates customer DA elections and obtains customer information required to complete DASR
Electric ESPs can designate different types of transactions on a given DASR. The table below lists the transactions, which the Electric ESP can initiate on behalf of an end-use customer. The table also identifies key customer information that the Electric ESP will need to obtain depending on the type of transaction. In addition to the customer information outlined below, there are additional field requirements for each of the transactions. These requirements are available through the DES Web site at (see Information Websites at the end of Chapter 1 in this handbook).
The designations correspond to those specified in the DASR transaction descriptions.

5. Electric ESP submits DASR to PG&E through DES Upon entering the required DASR transaction information, the Electric ESP submits the DASR file through DES by typing the following command at the DOS prompt:
NOTE: Successful implementation of the data exchange test procedure outlined with the previous chapter required the Electric ESP to install the put.exe and get.exe files locally. If put.exe and get.exe are not currently installed on the Electric ESP’s local workstation, the Electric ESP will need to install these programs. Again the files and downloading instructions are available through the DES Web site.
6. PG&E processes DASR The illustration below represents the timing associated with processing a DASR.

Day 2
3.1 - DASR PROCESSING TIMELINE
ELECTRONIC VALIDATION
All DASRs undergo both transaction level validation, as described in DASR Validation and customer account validation, as described in the Account Validation section below. All validation rules are covered within the DES Web site (see Information Websites at the end of Chapter 1 in this handbook).
DASR VALIDATION
PG&E will electronically validate DASRs for accuracy and completeness. DASRs failing the basic accuracy validation will be rejected back to the Sending ESP. PG&E will communicate the reasons for rejecting a DASR in the Comments field of the DASR. PG&E will submit a confirmation, rejection or pending DASR to the Electric ESP within seven (7) business days of receipt.
ACCOUNT VALIDATION
Following successful accuracy validation, PG&E will attempt to electronically match the Receiver Customer Identifier field of the DASR to PG&E’s computer information system. PG&E’s customer account number, which is currently printed on the customer’s energy statement, along with the Service ID, which is printed on the “Details” page of the bill, are the best data available for the Receiver Customer Identifier field. However, due to the instability of the customer Service ID, PG&E has developed a unique non-changing customer-commodity-location specific number called the External
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 38
Reference ID or “XREF ID.”1 Once the XREF ID has been assigned to a DA commodity account, it will not change throughout the life of the account unless DA is cancelled. Essentially, the XREF ID provides a way to readily identify DA commodity accounts and to reference the history of the commodity even if the customer switches to different ESPs. PG&E will communicate the customer’s “XREF ID” (rather than “Service ID”) to the Electric ESP in the acceptance confirmation DASR. The Connect DASR will validate on the Service ID or XREF ID. The customer’s PG&E XREF ID is intended for use in all future transactions related to this customer’s service location and commodity. The PG&E account number or XREF ID is a requirement of all transactions.
When a customer’s commodity account (i.e. electric or gas) undergoes its first DASR transaction, the current Service ID will be used to populate the XREF ID field and a new Service ID will be assigned to the commodity account. The Service ID replaces the “account number” on the current DASR form and is also represented on the “Detail” pages of the customer’s bill.
In the event system validation fails to match the Receiver Customer Identifier supplied in the DASR, or the account/commodity status is other than open, the DASR will be rejected using the standard DASR acknowledgment process.
Various PG&E programs and services require additional manual account preparation for certain Direct Access requests. For this reason, successful DASRs may contain a “memo” status informing the Electric ESP of additional manual preparation. These DASRs will, however, be accepted by PG&E and a DA effective date, if applicable, will be established and communicated to the Electric ESP in the confirmation DASR. The most common reasons for memo status will likely relate to metering installation and setup issues.
7. PG&E sends a confirmation, rejection, or pending notification to Electric ESP
Depending upon the results of the validation process, PG&E will electronically send a DASR acceptance confirmation, rejection, or pending notification to the Electric ESP. A notice will also be sent to the customer.
ACCEPTANCE NOTICES
An acceptance notice confirms that the DASR has been submitted successfully. If the DASR represented a DA setup transaction and meter installation is not pending for the service account, a notice acknowledging the actual switch of service provider and designating when the DA customer will begin Electric ESP service will also be sent to the Electric ESP and to the customer.
1 Use of the “GEN ID” has been discontinued and replaced by the “XREF ID.”

Additional DASR procedures performed by PG&E Based upon the requested services designated by the Electric ESP, PG&E may be required to perform additional DASR procedures in order to complete the processing of the DASR transactions as described below.
DASR FOR “NEW” PREMISES
Although the current DA suspension rule does not allow new accounts to be eligible for DA, there are certain circumstances under which a DASR can be submitted for premise that may be considered “new”. DA eligibility, in general, is restricted to the following circumstances:
a) Service Panel Upgrades
b) Bankruptcies
c) Assignment of Contract to a new ESP
d) Mergers/Acquisitions/Corporate Reorganizations
When applicable the ESP should contact ESP Services in advance to coordinate the submission of DASRs.
ADDITIONAL SETUP TRANSACTION PROCEDURES
Billing and Billing Calculation Options. Electric ESPs will state their billing preference in each DASR. Three billing options are allowed with DA including: 1) UDC (UDC-consolidated bill for both ESP and UDC charges), 2) SP (Consolidated ESP bill for both ESP and UDC charges), or 3) DUAL (UDC bills for UDC charges and Electric ESP bills for ESP charges). PG&E will communicate the enrolled billing option in the confirmation transaction to the Electric ESP. An example of an invalid billing option is a DASR requesting Consolidated ESP billing by an Electric ESP that is not authorized to perform Consolidated ESP billing. Once the account has been prepared for the requested billing option, PG&E will issue a new confirmation DASR to the Electric ESP informing them of the billing option change and effective date.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 40
Various PG&E programs require manual account preparation for consolidated billing. PG&E will determine which accounts require manual follow-up and will default those accounts to Separate billing pending account preparation for consolidated billing. Customer account billing options which may require manual preparation include:
Balanced Payment Plan (BPP). PG&E’s Balanced Payment Plan (BPP) provides customers with levelized monthly bills. However, due to the various billing options offered with DA, PG&E will not be able to offer BPP to DA accounts. Therefore, if a DASR is received and the account is enrolled in BPP, PG&E will remove the account from BPP and send the customer a bill for the account’s outstanding balance. This operation will not hinder the account from becoming a DA account.
Automatic Payment Service (APS). PG&E’s Automatic Payment Service (APS) provides customers the ability to pay their UDC bill through an automatic debit of their personal bank account. For those accounts that will be served under the Consolidated ESP billing option, APS must first be removed from the account before Consolidated ESP billing can be put into effect. PG&E will flag the account for removal from APS. Following account preparation, PG&E will place the account on Consolidated ESP billing and issue a confirmation DASR, informing the Electric ESP of the billing option change and effective date.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). EDI provides the customer with the ability to pay their UDC bill using an EDI interface. EDI is treated similar to APS. DASRs requesting the Consolidated ESP billing option will require EDI to be removed from the account. PG&E will follow-up to confirm the customer’s next EDI bank payment clears the account balance. Following account preparation, PG&E will place the account on Consolidated ESP billing and issue a new DASR confirmation to the Electric ESP of the billing option change and effective date.
Balance Due. The Electric ESP must advise its customers that all past due balances owed for bundled utility service must be paid prior to the start of Consolidated ESP billing service. PG&E may pursue collection of the balance owing for bundled service from the customer in accordance with its applicable rules, including if appropriate, termination of the customer’s service.
Rate Schedule Application. DASRs requesting the UDC-consolidated billing option must include a valid Electric ESP Rate Name (SP Rate Schedule). Electric ESPs may submit account maintenance DASR transactions to request a change to the SP Rate plan assigned to the account.
ADDITIONAL TRANSACTION PROCEDURES FOR NEWLY ESTABLISHED PG&E ACCOUNT NUMBERS
Turn On (T/O). A UDC service turn-on (T/O) order is initiated when a customer establishes a new account with PG&E. Customers must receive an account number from PG&E prior to an Electric ESP submittal of a DASR for the customer at the new location. The DASR must be submitted with a UDC account number containing at least nine (9) characters. This partial account number will alert PG&E to search for a T/O request, allowing the new account to have DA service on the requested service date.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 41
ADDITIONAL SHUT OFF (S/O) AND SHUT-OFF NON-PAYMENT (SONP) TRANSACTION PROCEDURES
Shut-Offs initiated by the DA customer. In the event that a customer contacts PG&E to close its utility service account, PG&E will notify both the servicing and pending Electric ESP with a termination DASR. PG&E will notify the current Electric ESP by electronic mail in the event of a shut-off for non-payment.
ADDITIONAL CANCELLATION TRANSACTION PROCEDURES
Cancellation of pending DA service may be requested by the pending Electric ESP. The pending Electric ESP can cancel a scheduled switch by submitting a DASR transaction, at least three business days before the scheduled switch date. The request to cancel will be effective immediately. The existing service provider (ESP or UDC) will remain in effect.
Termination of current DA service may be requested by the current Electric ESP. The current Electric ESP may terminate service with a customer at any time. The request to terminate service will be effective according to normal DA switching logic. The switch date will be the next scheduled meter read date, which occurs fifteen (15) or more days after the DASR has been received in the DASR Interface. Once the switch occurs, the customer would remain a full-service customer with PG&E for at least one billing cycle before it could establish DA service with another Electric ESP. If the current ESP has pending relationships, the UPDATE DASR will recalculate the earliest possible start date for all relationships.
ADDITIONAL CUSTOMER ACCOUNT DATA CHANGE TRANSACTION PROCEDURES
PG&E will modify its customer account information upon direct customer request only, therefore, DASRs received by Electric ESPs communicating customer data changes will not be accepted and will reject back to the initiating Electric ESP.
Electric ESPs may however, request their customer’s account information record from PG&E using the Customer Information Release Form. Upon request by the current or pending Electric ESP, PG&E will respond with a standard DASR Customer Account Information record. In the future, PG&E may implement automatic notification of customer data changes to the Electric ESP.
ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES FOR INITIAL CUSTOMER HISTORICAL USAGE INFORMATION
Upon DASR confirmation, up to 12 months of customer historical usage information will be released automatically to the pending Electric ESP if PG&E is acting as the energy provider.
NOTE: Historical usage information may be incomplete for some gas and electric services where a meter change has taken place. In these instances, the ESP will be provided with supplemental usage history via email.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 42
SEAMLESS MOVE
Direct access customers who move within the service territory can maintain electric DA service with their electric ESP. It is not necessary to begin with bundled service at the new location.
Seamless Move Procedures While gathering the necessary information to move the customer’s distribution service, the company’s call center determines whether the customer wants to continue to use the same Electric ESP. If “yes”, the company notifies the customer’s Electric ESP by e-mail. The company sends the e-mails once per day in a batch by noon, Pacific time. The Electric ESP must designate one person (one e-mail address) to receive the e-mails.
The e-mail to the customer’s Electric ESP includes:
• Customer name
• Old service address
• New service address (including ZIP code)
• Old Service ID
• New Service ID
• New meter number (if required for DASR acceptance)
• XREF ID
• Requested turn-on date
• Billing address (if different than the service address)
• Type of move (“new”, “rescheduled”, or “cancel”)
It may also contain, if available:
• Rate class
• New telephone number
• Old Electric ESP customer account number
The Electric ESP may use the data contained in the e-mail to submit a DASR to PG&E for service at the new location. This DASR must contain a “new customer” designation.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 43
If the DASR was submitted at least three business days before the requested turn-on date, the customer will receive Direct Access service from that date. If the DASR was submitted less than three business days before the requested turn-on date, the customer will receive direct access service as of the next meter read date.
The Electric ESP is responsible for communicating with the customer about their new service start dates in order to help the customer understand the process. In general, the seamless move procedures involves the steps indicated below:
• Customer contacts their ESP to stop service at the current location and to start service at the new one
• The ESP contacts ESP Services about their customer’s seamless move.
• The ESP is sent a Pending service disconnect DASR (SVC DISCONNECT) containing the future stop date.
• The ESP will then receive an acknowledgement DASR (ACK) for the new location, which will contain the new XREF ID and actual stop date information.
• The ESP’s customer identifier will remain unchanged.
Canceling a Seamless Move If the customer calls back to cancel the move, PG&E will either send a cancellation DASR to the Electric ESP if the ESP had already submitted a DASR for the new location, or send a cancellation e-mail to the Electric ESP if the ESP had not already submitted a DASR for the new location.
In the event the customer’s Electric ESP is serving only a geographic subset of PG&E’s service territory, (a municipal aggregator, for example) and the customer is moving to a new location not served by the Electric ESP, the ESP will not submit a DASR on behalf of the customer at the new location.
Limits to a Seamless Move Option To be eligible for a seamless move, a customer must be:
• An existing Direct Access customer.
• Moving within the service territory.
• A residential or small commercial customer who is load-profiled.
All DASR options must remain the same from the existing or old service location to the new service location; that is, the MSP/MDMA/billing/meter owner options must be the same in both locations.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 44
A change in responsible party, at the time of the move, constitutes a new customer and is not considered simply a move of distribution service location.
Customers who move first, and notify PG&E after they have moved, will not be eligible for Direct Access at the time of initial service.

DA ELECTRONIC DATA EXCHANGE CONTINGENCY PLANS
Overview
The objective of this chapter is to describe the contingency process for handling DA sign up should one or more elements of the DASR process fail. Although, failure of the electronic process is not anticipated, we have put procedures in place which will allow DASRs to be processed in the event of an unplanned systems-related problem.
Behind the scenes look at the DASR process DASRs which are submitted by Electric ESPs through DES are transmitted via the Internet to PG&E’s systems through a mail server called “QUE.” The QUE acts as a data repository for the Electric ESPs and PG&E to send and retrieve data. The QUE will sort and direct the incoming data by type. Once the data is in QUE, another system called the PG&E DASR Interface (“DASR Interface”) will retrieve the data for PG&E. The DASR Interface manages the data from the QUE. DASR Interface is a database that contains a list of transactions. It takes the data in and stores the transactions, (e.g., to whom we sent information to) the reasons why, and the data names (e.g. record type, operation type, service relation, SP identifier). DASR Interface also time-stamps the data, looks for data changes, conducts basic validation of data, error checks etc. Next, the DASR Interface sends the data to our Customer Information System (CIS). CIS contains the “CSO5” file--the logic for switching customers to direct access service. CSO5 is located in the “Master File”. At this point, the customer’s data would be “confirmed” or “rejected” back to the Electric ESP. This entire process is also know as the DASR or Direct Access Service Request.

4.2 - ELECTRIC ESP UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE QUE
SITUATION
The Electric ESP is unable to send information to PG&E’s QUE because of:
• Electric ESP equipment failure.
• The incompatibility of the Electric ESP’s system with that of PG&E.
• Internet failure.
• Failure of the QUE/DES.
BACK-UP PLAN
1. The Electric ESP will notify PG&E’s ESP Services Hotline or PG&E’s ESP Services will notify Electric ESPs that there is a problem either by fax or phone..
2. If there is a failure of the QUE but a connection through the Internet is available, the ESP will be given instructions on sending the data file by email. If an Internet connection is not available, the Electric ESP will save customer DASR requests on a disk as a comma-delimited .CSV file. The format should be according to the EDI format as described within Chapter 2: Direct Access Setup in the section, Review electronic transfer procedures.
3. The Electric ESP should express mail the disk to the following address, ESP Services, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, 77 Beale Street, 19th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105.

METERING
Overview
This chapter focuses on DA (Direct Access) interval metering including meter installation, meter maintenance obligations, Meter Data Management Agent requirements (including procedures for meter ownership), meter reading and meter data access.
Within the context of this chapter, the term “meter” refers to an hourly, non-load profile meter, known as an “interval meter.”
Interval meters are required for DA customers whose maximum electrical demand is equal to or exceeds 50kW. Those DA customers whose demand is between 20-50kW may choose to have an interval data meter installed; however, meters already in place for customers whose demand is between 20-50kW already meet the requirements for DA load profile.
If any customer, including those with an electrical demand is 50kW or below, wishes to participate in PG&E’s hourly PX rate option, that customer is required to have an interval data meter installed.
Similarly, those customers on electric rate schedules A-10 and E19V will be required to have an interval meter installed if a “spike” of 80kW or over is reflected in their usage within the last 12 months.
PG&E’s Rule 22, Direct Access Service, describes the terms and conditions that apply to both PG&E customers and Electric Energy Service Providers who participate in Direct Access. Fees for Direct Access services are described in PG&E Schedules E-DASR, E-ESP and E-EUS. Refer to PG&E’s Web Tariff Book (see Information Websites at the end of Chapter 1 in this handbook).
Metering Services While PG&E is hopeful this chapter provides the reader with basic information regarding DA Metering in PG&E’s service territory, we also strongly suggest contacting your PG&E assigned ESP Services Representative to arrange a meeting to discuss your metering plans, along with procedures and processes.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 50
METER SERVICE PROVIDER RESPONSIBILITIES
While CPUC decisions refer to meter service providers (MSPs), the industry currently identifies Meter Installers and Meter Maintainers. ESPs may select approved Meter Installers and Meter Maintainers, including PG&E, to perform interval meter installations and maintenance.
Responsibilities for Meter Installers and Meter Maintainers include:
• meter installation
• meter operation and maintenance services
• meter testing and certification
METER INSTALLATION STANDARDS
Meter installations will be conducted according to the requirements specified in DASMMD. PG&E shall have no liability for any damage or injury caused by ESP-installed metering equipment.
EFFECTIVE DIRECT ACCESS DATE
The effective date and time of the switch to direct access are the time and date of the installation, unless the account is DA Ready (see the “DA Ready Meter” section). If the account is DA Ready, the switch date is the next meter read date. Also see the “Meter Work Not Completed Within 60 Days” section under the heading, “Return to Bundled Service from Direct Access and Meter Ownership – Bundled Safe Harbor.”
METER MAINTENANCE
The Meter Maintainer is responsible for the routine maintenance of all DA interval meters, including but not limited to, DA interval meter testing, record keeping to assure safe and proper operation of the DA interval meter, and timely repair in accordance with the CPUC’s (California Public Utilities Commission’s) and other applicable standards.
METER EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS
All meters installed by ESPs or their Meter Installers shall meet all CPUC-approved Direct Access Standards for Metering and Meter Data (DASMMD) and shall be self-certified by the meter manufacturer with the CPUC.
PG&E retains the right to replace an existing meter regardless of ownership if that meter fails to meet the requirements specified in DASMMD. If PG&E replaces the meter, the installation terms, conditions and procedures below will apply:
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 51
• If the ESP does not elect to provide metering services, PG&E will provide those services at fees specified in PG&E’s rate schedules to the DA customer.
• If PG&E removes the DA interval meter, PG&E will properly identify and return the meter to its owner in the same condition as found within 5 business days.
Obtaining Meter Equipment Information for Existing Customer Accounts ESPs submit DASRs in accordance with guidelines provided in Chapters 2 and 3 of this handbook, “Processing Direct Access Service Requests.” Those DASRs which either require or request meter installations become meter installation orders.
NOTE: No Direct Access metering services may be provided or started by an ESP, its Meter Installer or MDMA for any customer unless the ESP’s DASR has been accepted by and the ESP’s work has been scheduled with PG&E.
PG&E’s Meter Equipment Information web site provides authorized and secure access to ESPs and their designees, generally their Meter Installer, Meter Maintainer or MDMA, for information on existing metering equipment by customer account. For general information and procedures, see the Meter Equipment Information Web site.
WEB SITE TEST
ESPs are required to test the Meter Equipment Information web site to ensure their passwords are operational and meter information is easily downloaded. For further information on the Web Site Test, go to http://meterinfo.pge.com/3rdparty/login.asp.
SELECTION OF THE METER INSTALLER
As described in the Meter Service Provider Responsibilities paragraph of this chapter, the ESP may select PG&E as its Meter Installer or Meter Maintainer or select another Meter Installer or Meter Maintainer to perform metering services. Those services include meter installation, meter operation, maintenance, testing and calibration. Generally the work also includes the removal of the existing meter.
PG&E metering services fees will be charged to the ESP in accordance with CPUC-filed tariffs. (See the filed document, E-ESP, located in the Web Tariff Book.)
SCHEDULING METER REMOVALS AND INSTALLATIONS - PG&E AS METER INSTALLER
When PG&E is the meter installer, meter installation scheduling is based upon the following:
• Each DASR’s renewable and non-renewable energy supply status
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 52
• PG&E’s capacity to install meters which is dependent on its new construction volume, meter compliance, and meter data recovery work
• Date PG&E accepted the DASR on a first-come, first-served basis
• Site readiness
• Mutually agreed upon date
The ESP is responsible to ensure the meter site is ready for the meter installation. A meter site is considered ready when PG&E has ESP-provided meters on hand and the meter telecommunications are in place and working.
PG&E AS METER INSTALLER
If the site is DA Ready with an interval meter in place or PG&E, as Meter Installer, installs a customer-owned DA interval meter, the ESP is responsible for the meter cost, local sales tax, Service Base Charge, meter removal and installation charges and the programming and testing of the DA interval meter in accordance with the filed rate schedules. (See PG&E’s Web Tariff Book.)
METER SUPPLIED BY ESP
If PG&E, as Meter Installer, installs an ESP-provided DA interval meter, the ESP will be responsible for the Service Base Charge, the meter removal and the meter installation charges. Additionally, If the ESP has not performed meter programming and testing, PG&E will charge for that work in accordance with the provisions of PG&E’s Direct Access Service Rule 22 and its filed rate schedules. (See PG&E’s Web Tariff Book.)
DA READY METER
A DA ready meter is an installed PG&E interval meter or a customer-owned meter that meets the CPUC’s interim meter standards and is currently phone line read.
If an account has a PG&E DA ready meter, the ESP may elect to use this meter. Phone service account payment responsibility is described below in the paragraph entitled, “Responsibility - Phone Service Account Payment.”
PHONE SERVICE NOTIFICATION - PG&E AS METER INSTALLER
The ESP notifies PG&E’s MEG (Meter Event Group) by sending a “Phone Service Notification.” The Phone Service Notification can be downloaded from the “DA Documents” link on the ESP Resource Center Web site.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 53
Upon receipt of the Phone Service Notification, PG&E then schedules the installations in accordance with its capacity to install meters and posts the scheduled date and order status update to its Meter Equipment Information Web site.
If the ESPs want to coordinate a field meeting, they must notify the MEG by forwarding a “Field Meeting Request.” Fees charged to the ESP for the field meeting will be in accordance with PG&E’s rate schedules.
COMPLETED METER INSTALLS
PG&E will post completed meter removal and installation and maintenance work orders to PG&E’s Meter Equipment Information Web site.
RE-SCHEDULING METER INSTALLATIONS
Site Not Ready. If at the time of the scheduled installation PG&E determines the site is not ready, PG&E will notify the ESP.
Metering Equipment Not Available. If at the time of the scheduled installation, the metering equipment (meter, cellular phone, etc.) is not on hand, PG&E will notify the ESP.
Other Operational Reasons. PG&E will notify the ESP of other operational reasons including, but not limited to, regulatory compliance work, restoration of service, emergency response, new business work load and meter repair and data recovery.
Scheduling Meter Removals and Installations - ESP as Meter Installer The CPUC’s decision, “Opinion Regarding Direct Access Implementation Plans and Related Tariffs - 97-10-087,” requires the ESP to provide UDCs with 5 business days advance notice of its meter installations. As part of PG&E’s implementation process of the CPUC requirement, ESPs are asked to submit install schedules no later than 3 working days prior to the scheduled date. The statewide accepted form can be found on the CPUC Web site and includes such data fields as:
• UDC order number
• Customer Account number
• Customer name
• Install Date
• XREF ID
• Install Time - if one of first 20 installations
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 54
• Meter Installer - if one of first 20 installations
When an installation does not occur on the scheduled date, the ESP or its designee will notify PG&E’s Meter Event Group and advise PG&E of the status, i.e., new install date, on hold pending site access, telecommunications not in place, etc.
Detailed Work Schedule - First Twenty Installations
In accordance with the CPUC’s Decision Regarding Permanent Standards for Metering and Meter Data, 98-12-080, a Meter Installer new to the PG&E service territory is required to provide PG&E with a schedule of its first 20 installations, including a description of all the procedures it will follow for removing and installing the meter, and what safety precautions it will take during those procedures. Additionally, PG&E will exercise its right to meet with the Meter Installer for the first 20 installations performed.
METER INSTALLATION/REMOVAL NOTIFICATION *
Within 3 business days of the meter removal and installation, the ESP shall return the MIRN (Meter Installation & Removal Notification) to PG&E. Additionally, PG&E will post all completed MIRNs to the PG&E Web site.
RETURN OF PG&E METERS
Within 10 business days from meter removal, the ESP must return the meter to:
PG&E Gas & Electric Meter Plant 42100 Boyce Road Fremont, CA 94538 Attention: Marcia Holloway
Service Upgrades PG&E highly recommends that ESPs advise their customers to contact the ESPs as soon as customers know a service upgrade is in the planning stage. Generally, if the transfer of load to the new service is a gradual one, a new agreement must be set up to maintain DA service. After a DASR is automatically generated, the ESP is notified through the DASR notification process.
The coordination of a phone line installation (if applicable) and meter install and removal prior to the service being energized is critical. Please also contact your assigned PG&E Meter Event Group representative as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition.
Return to Bundled Service from Direct Access and Meter Ownership When a customer returns to bundled service from direct access and owns the interval meter, that meter may remain in service if:
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 55
• The meter meets the CPUC’s interval meter design specifications and is compatible with PG&E’s meter reading systems.
• And the customer:
• Grants PG&E rights acceptable to PG&E to access, test, maintain and read the interval meter at any time.
• Pays any costs that PG&E incurs in providing metering services using the interval meter to the extent those costs exceed the costs that PG&E would incur using a standard PG&E meter for bundled service.
• Agrees that PG&E may, at its discretion and at the customer’s expense, replace the interval meter if it malfunctions with a standard PG&E meter for bundled service.
If the meter is not compatible with PG&E meter reading systems, the meter will be replaced at customer expense with a standard PG&E meter.
TRANSITIONAL BUNDLED SERVICE (TBS), ALSO KNOWN AS SAFE HARBOR
On May 8, 2003 the CPUC issued Decision, D.03-05-034, the “Switching Order,” in order to adopt rules to implement what is known as the “Switching Exemption.” The new rules, implemented on February 19, 2004 are outlined as follows:
• A customer may return to Transitional Bundled Service (TBS) for a period of 80 days if the customer’s intent is to find an ESP and continue on Direct Access Service. This period is also referred to as Safe Harbor. Customers selecting TBS will pay spot market rates for power for a certain period of time. (??? Aimee, should we refer the reader to the Billing Chapter 7 or take out this last sentence about spot market rates?)
• A customer may return to Bundled Service by providing six months advance notice of their decision to the utility. During the six months, the customer may switch from one Third Party ESP to another. Once returned to Bundled Service, the customer will have to remain on Bundled Service for three years. The three-year minimum Bundled Service Commitment is known as Bundled Portfolio Service (BPS).
• A customer may request to return to Bundled Service without providing six months advance notice to the utility. The customer will have to remain on Bundled Service for three years. Customers that return to Bundled Service without six months notice will pay spot market rates for power for a certain period of time. (??? Aimee, should we refer the reader to the Billing Chapter 7 or take out this last sentence about spot market rates?)
To summarize, if an ESP elects to discontinue service to a customer or a customer decides to contract with a different ESP for DA service, the customer enters TBS and then has 80 days to find a new ESP. If the customer does not find a new ESP within 80 days, they are automatically returned to PG&E Bundled Service for three years.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 56
The following scenarios describe how customers may switch under the new guidelines.
• Direct Access Swith to Transitional Bundled Service. A DA customer returns to TBS while looking for a new ESP. Either the customer contacts PG&E to enter TBS or the ESP submits a Disconnect DASR, which automatically puts the customer in TBS for 80 days.
• Direct Access Customer Gives Notice to Return to BPS. A DA customer who is not in TBS wants to return to BPS. The customer gives PG&E six-months notice and remains a DA customer. During the six-month notice period, the customer can continue to switch between ESPs. At month 5, PG&E generates a connect DASR for the account to return to BPS.
• Direct Access Customer Requests Switch to BPS ASAP. A DA customer who is not in TBS requests a return to BPS and the account switches per DA switching rules.
• Transitional Bundled Service Defaults to Bundled Portfolio Service. A DA customer enters TBS while looking for a new ESP. The customer is unable to find a new ESP to generate a connect DASR within the 80-day TBS period, so the customer defaults to BPS for three years.
• Transitional Bundled Service Switch to Direct Access. A new ESP submits a connect DASR for a customer in TBS. The account switches to DA per DA switching rules.
• Transitional Bundled Service Customer Gives Notice to Return to BPS. A DA customer switches to TBS to look for a new ESP. While in TBS, the customer decides to switch back to BPS. When the customer gives 6 months notice, PG&E switches the account to BPS immediately instead of waiting 6 months to perform the switch.
• ESP Wants Its Meter Back. When an account switches from DA to TBS, the ESP may contact PG&E to request its meter back. PG&E also contacts the ESP to determine whether or not the ESP wants its meter returned. PG&E then makes arrangements to return the meter to the ESP.
• Meter Work Not Completed Within 60 Days. If meter work is not completed within 60 days of an account switch, PG&E contacts the ESP to find out if the ESP will complete the meter work. If the ESP has completed or will complete the meter work, PG&E updates its systems to record the meter work. If the ESP will not complete the meter work, PG&E schedules and performs the meter change. The account then switches to DA on the meter change date or the next read date (whichever occurs first).
ESP Inquiries PG&E’s Meter Event Group works with ESPs to ensure that metering inquiries described below are answered in a timely manner:
• Meter phone number
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 57
• Meter installations to include installation job forecasting
• Research on the status/tracking of meters
• Meter configuration data
To contact a MEG analyst, see DA Contacts on the ESP Web site.
For passwords, contact PG&E’s Telemetering Support Center (TMSC) at 1-800-343-7013, Option 1.
In situations where the ESP intends to use phone-read meter technology and/or selects PG&E as its MDMA, the ESP is responsible for:
• Establishing phone service
• Ensuring the phone service billing in its name
• Ensuring its telephone service provider installs a phone line for electric meter reading
• Or ensuring it provides PG&E with an activated cellular phone upon meter install
“Metering Phone Service Providers,” Appendix B of this handbook includes the names and telephone numbers of providers within PG&E’s service territory.
When PG&E is the ESP’s MDMA the requirements below for wired phone lines and wireless phones apply.
WIRED PHONE LINE REQUIREMENTS
The phone line shall be a dedicated phone line. If this is not feasible, the ESP should contact ESP Relations to discuss other alternatives. (See “DA Contacts.”)
Additionally the phone line shall be:
• Installed from the phone minimum point of entry (MPOE) to the meter location. The ESP should be aware that in some instances, the ESP may be required by the customer or phone service provider to install a conduit, trench, or penetrate a fire wall in order to accommodate the installation.
• A “measured business” line with blocking on long distance, collect, 900, and 976 calls
• Installed in accordance with applicable codes and standards
• Labeled to show:
• “For Electric Meter Use Only”
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 58
• Telephone number
• Maintenance and repair telephone number
• Telephone service provider’s name
For security reasons, a telephone network interface unit (NIU) shall be installed at the phone line termination point. A Joslyn telephone network interface model #7550, #7090 or equivalent should be used, following the requirements below.
Generally, the NIU should not be mounted on the switchboard, meter panels, poles or pedestals. If these are the only location choices, the mounting must be secure without compromising the safety aspects of the particular enclosure. In the case of pole mounted terminations, the NIU should be placed below the meter panel or otherwise not interfering with the pole climbing path.
The NIU should be installed within 5 circuit feet of the meter centerline and from a minimum of 18 inches to a maximum of 72 inches above finished grade. (A circuit foot is the length of wire or conduit that needs to be run along walls, etc., from the meter to the NIU. It is not a straight-line distance.)
WIRELESS PHONE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
For situations in which it is not feasible for the telephone company to install a hardwired phone service, the ESP shall arrange for a cellular telemetry system to be installed and activated.
1. The cellular telemetry system shall meet the following specifications:
• NEMA 3R weatherproof enclosure
• Thermal shutoff protection
• 5% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing
• Cellular radio with antenna connector
• Capacity to operate in 120VAC, 50 watts maximum output power
• User replaceable fuse
• Transient and overcurrent protection for RJ11 connections
• External ground lug
• One RJ11 jack for data and one RJ45 jack for communications
• Two wire, loop start
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 59
• Ring voltage, 25Hz, 60 VRMs 150Vp-p
• 350 Hz/440 Hz square wave dial tone
2. RJ45 jack for cellular handset programming and testing
3. The power supply for cellular telemetry system shall be outside any sealed section and on the load side of the meter. The power supply should further be on a dedicated circuit or otherwise connected so that it is energized at all times.
4. Mounting of the cellular telemetry system shall be the same requirement as the installation of NIU as described above.
5. The ESP shall ensure that any accessories to the cellular telemetry system, such as an antenna and a mounting bracket, are properly installed or attached.
6. The ESP shall have the system activated and functionally tested prior to notifying PG&E that the site is ready.
7. The cellular telemetry system unit shall be labeled to read, “For Electric Meter Use Only.”
8. The unit shall be further labeled to show:
• Telephone number
• Maintenance and repair telephone number, and
• Cellular telephone service provider’s name
The ESP is responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the cellular telemetry unit.
Responsibility - Phone Service Account Payment If an active phone line exists for a PG&E interval data meter and the ESP chooses to remove the meter and install its own, PG&E will advise the phone service provider to cancel the account.
Or in those cases where the ESP is installing phone-read technology, PG&E will change billing from PG&E to the ESP. Some review of phone account responsibility may be required for those sites where PG&E uses the data for load research.
Responsibility - Phone Service Operability and Maintenance When PG&E is the ESP’s MDMA, the ESP is ultimately responsible for the on-going phone line operability.
The ESP must ensure that phone service is not turned off due to late or lack of payments to the phone service provider. Monthly payments should be made directly to the phone service provider.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 60
Phone lines and phone ancillary devices used for remote meter reading are part of DA meters. Therefore, the ESP must make certain that the phone line and any ancillary devices are maintained as required. Any failure caused by phone line or phone ancillary devices shall be considered as meter failure and must be corrected as required in Rule 22, Section G, Metering Services.
Retention of Rights PG&E may exercise its right to test its own meters or those owned by customers in accordance with Rule 22, Section G, paragraph 2.
Meter Data Management Agent (MDMA) Requirements
This section addresses the major systems responsibilities and requirements that Meter Data Management Agents (MDMAs) are required to perform. An MDMA is an entity that takes raw meter outputs, validates them using validation, editing, and estimating rules, adds corollary information needed to characterize the customer, and makes complete customer information available to others for use in various applications. As some of the rules and requirements for interval and monthly (template data) are different, the two usage types will be addressed separately.
MDMA responsibilities and requirements were established in decision 97-12-048 and the Retail Settlement and Information Flow (RSIF) Workshops. Decision and workshop reports are available for those interested in obtaining comprehensive information on MDMA responsibilities at the CPUC Web site.
MDMA Approval Process and Requirements The CPUC Decision on the Meter and Data Communication Standards Workshop Report of December 3, 1997, directed the UDCs to develop a MDMA qualification/approval process for ESPs and MDMAs who wish to offer MDMA services.
The CPUC requires that potential MDMAs comply with current UDC standards in experience, education and training in order to perform the following functions of an MDMA:
• Manage the meter reading schedule
• Read and retrieve meter data
• Submit meter data to MDMA server using DES protocol
• Calculate usage
• Validate, edit and estimate meter data
• Format data
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 61
• Manage data on MDMA server
• Meter/device management
If the applicant is found to be compliant, the MDMA may immediately begin to serve accounts for which the ESP has identified the specific MDMA relationship through the submission of DASRs. Inception of MDMA service is also contingent upon the coordination between PG&E and the MDMA regarding read scheduling.
APPLICATION AND CHECKLIST
The potential MDMA must complete the Application for MDMA Approval and checklist which are available on the DA Documents link on the ESP Resource Center website at (see Information Websites at the end of Chapter 1 in this handbook). The name of the document is MDMA Qualification Instructions. The MDMA must forward the application and checklist per the specifications in the section below, Written Requirements.
WRITTEN REQUIREMENTS
The potential MDMA forwards the completed application, the checklist as well as all written requirements by mail or fax to:
Pacific Gas and Electric Company Yolanda Lerma P.O. Box 770000 M/C B19C San Francisco, CA 94177
PG&E will review the submitted documentation of this test, determine if the potential MDMA is compliant with its standards and notify the MDMA via e-mail. PG&E has established a goal of 10 business days to review the documentation and respond to the potential MDMA. Omitted documentation of the submitted written requirements will result in PG&E requesting that additional information. If it is deemed after the UDC’s review of the submitted written requirements that the potential MDMAs process is insufficient, the potential MDMA will fail the written requirements portion and will need to resubmit for qualification/approval.
SERVER ACCEPTANCE TEST
1. Subsequent to PG&E receiving the completed qualification documentation, the potential MDMA may contact PG&E to schedule the acceptance test.
2. PG&E will work with the applicant to ensure that it meets hardware and software requirements and will also send a sample test to the applicant prior to the test date.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 62
3. PG&E will then provide the potential MDMA with data for the server acceptance test. The purpose of the server acceptance test is for the potential MDMA to demonstrate that it can calculate usage, validate, estimate and edit usage; format the usage in the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) format; post the data to the potential MDMA’s server; and provide the UDC with access to the server. Detailed steps are outlined in the MDMA Server Acceptance Testing document.
4. The acceptance test is then performed. The UDC’s have established a 48 hour turn-around time requirement for the completion of this test.
5. If the potential MDMA fails the server acceptance test the first time, they can reschedule for re-test. However, if a failure occurs twice, the potential MDMA must wait three months before re-testing will be allowed.
6. In addition, re-testing will be required if new software is installed or if new technology is implemented by the potential MDMA and their use of the server.
BACK-UP READING PROCESS
If the potential MDMAs primary source of reading meters is a method other than the manual process, the potential MDMA, in addition to submitting documentation on its primary method must also demonstrate that it has a capable back-up process in place. Details of the backup process is also outlined on the checklist.
DATA FORMAT
MDMA data format requirements for each UDC is included with the application and checklist.
SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
Data security and confidentiality requirements are outlined in more detail by PG&E. However in general, data must be located in a secure facility and have firewall or equivalent protection.
HELP DESK
The CPUC decision requires that a technical help desk be provided by the UDCs as well as MDMAs. Each UDC must have toll free numbers available. The potential MDMAs must provide a technical support number as well. This phone must be answered immediately during normal business hours. However, after hour calls regarding the server must be returned within one hour. All other after hour calls can be deferred to the next business day.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 63
Validating and Editing Data The MDMA will be responsible for performing approved quality checks to the raw data retrieved from the meters as described in the CA VEE Rules. The quality checks include validating and editing the usage data. Upon completion of the validation and editing processes, an estimation will be performed on the data, if necessary. Data estimations are summarized in the subsequent section “Estimating Data”. A comprehensive description of the rules for validating, editing, and estimating is also addressed within the CA VEE Rules document.
Below are the basic quality checks for interval and monthly data.
INTERVAL DATA
The interval data validations are summarized below. For a complete description of the rules, refer to the CA VEE Rules (see Information Websites at the end of Chapter 1 in this handbook).
Spike Check. The highest interval recorded in a 24 hour calendar day cannot exceed the third highest interval for that day by more than 180%. When a spike is identified, the usage for that interval is flagged as missing and the estimation rules are used to fill the missing intervals.
High Low Average Daily Usage Check. An average daily total consumption is calculated from the current month’s usage data and is compared to the average daily consumption calculated from the previous year’s data for the same billing month, if last years data is not available. If the current month’s average consumption is outside of plus or minus 50% of the historical average consumption, then the MDMA must verify the usage (i.e., re-polling, meter test, etc.). If the data is verified, the usage is flagged as verified and continues on the data flow path.
Sum Check. The energy use recorded by the meter is compared to the energy use recorded by the pulse recorder. If the difference is greater than two meter multipliers (constant used to convert meter read to KWh), the data must be verified by the MDMA (i.e., repolling, meter test, etc.). If the data is verified, the usage is flagged as verified and continues on the data flow path.
Hardware Checks. The MDMA must ensure that the polling device is synchronized to the national time standard before data collection begins. The MDMA must verify that the time difference in the meter device is within 180 seconds for a 30-day time period. An interval tolerance check comparing the number of expected data intervals to the number intervals received is performed to ensure the time drift is less than 5 intervals. See the CA VEE Rules for a complete description of how to correct the time drift.
Kilovolt-Ampere-Reactive hours (KVARH) Checks (if collected). If the kWh channel has zero consumption and for the corresponding time the kVARh channel has registered consumption, the kWh data must be treated as missing. The kWh data should be estimated using the estimation rules described in the CA VEE Rules.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 64
Estimating Data
Following the validation and editing (flagging usage as missing) of the usage data, the estimation routines are performed to ensure that complete usage data will be provided for the given billing period. Where raw data is available with incomplete entries, the MDMA will estimate the data gaps using approved and documented algorithms. After performing the estimation the MDMA will be responsible for providing the usage to the UDC and ESP. The following are the estimation rules for interval data.
INTERVAL DATA ESTIMATION RULES
Greater than two continuous hours of missing interval data:
1. Compute the average daily profile by using the days from the current usage period and as much historical data (up to 90 days) as required to select three complete days (which were not estimated) corresponding to the day of week or holiday with missing data. See the CA VEE Rules for additional details on how to select historical data when three complete days worth of data are not available.
2. If no historical holidays exist, use Sundays.
3. The historical data used should be that data immediately preceding the usage period, regardless of seasonal crossover.
4. Estimate the missing data by applying the appropriate average daily profile to fill the missing intervals.
Two hours or less of continuous missing interval data:
1. Use the point to point linear interpolation method to estimate the missing data where there is a gap in the data.
2. If the gap occurs at the beginning of the span, use the last interval from the historical data as the first point, if the historical data is available and the interval data is not estimated. Otherwise, use the second point (the nearest good interval data) as the first point (i.e., a flat load). If the gap occurs at the end of the span, use the first point as the second point (i.e., a flat load).
Accuracy and Timeliness of Usage Data All usage data will be accurate unless otherwise indicated. Data known to be inaccurate or missing will be estimated and flagged as estimated data. The following accuracy and timeliness standards for interval and monthly data must be followed by MDMAs. The accuracy and timeliness requirements stated below were adopted by the CPUC in decision 97-12-048.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 65
INTERVAL DATA
Accuracy. Either no more than 10% of the accounts will contain estimated data, or no more that 1% of all the data will be estimated.
Timeliness. Assuming that the meter read date is time zero:
• 80% of all usage data will be made available within 1 calendar day of the scheduled read date of the meter
• 90% of all usage data will be made available within 2 calendar days of the scheduled read date of the meter
• 99.99% of all usage data will be made available within 5 calendar days of the scheduled read date of the meter
MONTHLY DATA
Accuracy. Either no more than 10% of the accounts will contain estimated data, or no more than 1% of the data will be estimated.
Timeliness
• 85% of all the monthly meter reads will be made available by 6:00 am on the 1st working day after the scheduled meter read date.
• 95% of all the monthly meter reads will be made available by 6:00 am on the 2nd working day after the scheduled meter read date.
• 99.99% of all monthly meter reads will be made available by 6:00 am on the 5th working day after the scheduled meter read date.
Data retention period On a monthly basis, the MDMA will provide interval data for the billing period in 27 to 33 measured usage intervals. The interval may or may not be equal to a twenty four hour period depending upon the meter read cycle and scheduling. Once the interval data or the monthly usage is posted to the MDMA server it will remain available for 3 business days. Upon request, this data will be available after the three-day business period. The MDMA must also store 36 months of historical consumption data.

5.1 - METERING CONFIGURATION CHANGES AND METERING CHANGE OUTS
Currently, ESPs submit metering configuration changes and metering change-out requests by fax and not by DASR. PG&E anticipates that electronic submission of these requests will be feasible by early 1998.
Metering configuration changes and metering change outs should be faxed to the MEG (see the DA Contacts link on the ESP Resource Center website).
INTERVAL AND TIME-OF-USE (TOU) DATA
Interval data, which represents regular interval energy usage information (i.e. 5 minute, 15 minute, hourly), is submitted via the DES in EDI 867 record format type. .
Time-Of-Use data, which is characterized by consumption reads at different time periods, is also represented by using the DES in EDI 867record format type.
Field definitions and requirements for the EDI 867 record format types are provided in the the EDI 867 Guidelines located at PG&E’s EDI website http://www.pge.com/edi .

Meter Reading
METER READING DATA OBLIGATIONS
1. Meter data for DA Customers shall be read, validated, edited, and transferred pursuant to CPUC-approved standards.
2. Regardless of whether the ESP or PG&E perform Meter reading services, both PG&E and the ESP shall have access to the server containing the data, including at a minimum the following data:
a) Customer account number;
b) Customer location;
c) Starting and ending read, date and time if available;
d) Usage data (e.g.; kWh, kW, interval use, kVArh if measured);
e) Estimated usage and adjustment flag or adjustment code;
f) Meter identification number;
g) ESP identification number;
h) Identity of metering agent, if any, employed by ESP or PG&E;
i) Load Profile ID (if applicable);
3. PG&E and the ESP shall provide reasonable and timely access to Meter data to the ISO, Scheduling Coordinators (or their designated agents), and each other as required to allow the proper performance of billing, settlement, scheduling, forecasting and other functions.
4. Until future notice, load point information will need to be communicated manually.
5. The Party providing Meter reading services is required to keep the most recent 12 months of Customer consumption data for each DA Customer. Such data must be retained for a period of 36 months. Such data must be released on request to any ESP, or to PG&E, if authorized by the Customer.
PG&E METER READING
1. PG&E will read DA interval meters for DA customers on PG&E’s read schedule for each service account provided that the meter is compatible with PG&E’s meter reading systems and processes. The ESP will be responsible for any meter reading costs for this service as set forth in DA Rule 22.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 68
2. PG&E, or its metering and data management agent (MDMA), will be required to install and maintain a data server in accordance with standards approved by the CPUC.
ELECTRIC ESP METER READING
General Requirements.
1. No ESP may perform meter reading services for its own or any affiliated entity’s use of DA Services.
2. No meter reading service may be provided by theESP until that ESP has been approved by PG&E.
3. The ESP must keep PG&E notified at all times of the identity of the ESP’s agent, if any, conducting Meter reading.
Schedule for ESP Meter reading. If the ESP or it’s agent perform meter reading, it must do so on PG&E’s meter read schedule for that service account as specified by PG&E, unless a different schedule is mutually agreed to by PG&E and ESP.
Metered Usage Rates
Metered usage rates are determined by end-use customers’ electric rate schedules. Electric rate schedule information is available on PG&E’s Web Tariff Book Web site.
Life Support Customers and Medical Baseline Quantities Life Support customers are residential end-use customers who have a medical disability necessitating the use of a medical device(s) powered by utility supplied gas and/or electricity. These customers may qualify for a Standard Medical Baseline Quantity in addition to their regular baseline quantity (i.e., gas and/or electricity at the lowest Tier 1 residential rate). The Standard Medical Baseline Quantity is 500 kWh of electricity and/or 25 therms of gas per month year-round.
Additional amounts of gas and electricity (Medical Baseline Quantities) are available at the Tier 1 rate to customers when a full-time member of the household is:
• dependent upon a medical life-support device used in the home.
• a paraplegic, hemiplegic, or quadriplegic person or a multiple sclerosis patient with special heating and/or cooling needs.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 69
• a person being treated for a life-threatening illness or a person with a compromised immune system with special heating and/or cooling needs to sustain the life of the person or prevent deterioration of the person’s medical condition.
• a scleroderma patient with special heating needs.
ESPs who have identified end-use customers which require Standard and/or additional Medical Baseline Quantities should refer to Electric Rule 14 for information concerning commodity service continuity and Rule 19 for details on end-use customer qualifications. These rules can be found within PG&E’s Web Tariff Book.
For information on additional DASR requirements when submitting DASRs for Life Support customers, see the subsection, “Electric ESP evaluates customer DA elections and obtains customer information” in Chapter 3: Processing Direct Access Service Requests.

DASR PROCESSES FOR METERING DATA ADJUSTMENTS AND CHANGES
Overview
This chapter covers information on PG&E DASR processes that are initiated as a result of metering data adjustments and changes to DA account commodity status. The purpose of including this information in the handbook is to foster Electric ESPs’ understanding of the PG&E-initiated transaction records it may receive when certain account events take place and to make Electric ESPs aware of situations in which they may need to initiate DASR transactions in response.
The processes and scenarios addressed include those, which occur subsequent to the initial DA customer account switch. Additional DASR processes related to initial DA account setup and switching are discussed in Chapter 3: Processing Direct Access Service Requests, under the section heading, Additional DASR procedures performed by PG&E.
The material addressed includes details which are specific to DES transaction record types MEPAD01 (DASR), MEPMD01, and MEPMD02. Readers may want to familiarize themselves with these record types and gain an understanding of regular metering data records before proceeding with the material in this chapter. For detailed information on DES DASR transactions see the DES Transaction Map link on the DES Web site.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 72
DA Account Commodity Status Changes
DA Account Commodity Shut-Offs PG&E can initiate the DA account commodity shut-off process if the end-use customer requests this action or in cases of non-payment. The processes discussed do not apply to situations where the Electric ESP decides to discontinue service to the end-use customer.
PROCESS
Please note that the following processes apply to both monthly, TOU, demand and interval metered accounts.
1. When all meters associated with an account commodity have either been locked or removed, the account commodity status is considered “Removed” or “Closed” by PG&E. Due to the frequency with which end-use customers oftentimes change their commodity shut-off dates and also because of the lack of lead time, PG&E will initiate disconnect notification to the Electric ESP after the final shut-off meter read is taken and the Commodity Status of the account has been changed to “REMOVED” or “CLOSED”.
2. PG&E will then issue an administrative data type record, MEPAD01, to the current, pending, and any ancillary service providers communicating the date the account commodity was shut-off. This transaction record will reflect “SVC” within the Operation Type field, “DISCONNECT” within the Reason field, and the date the commodity was shut-off in the Effective End Date field.
3. PG&E will also issue the metering data record(s), MEPMD01 and/or MEPMD02 to the current Electric ESP, and current bill-calculator if PG&E is not the MDMA. These records will include usage information, but will not indicate that the end-use customer has been shut-off.
PG&E’s system should initiate the relevant administrative and metering data records within two (2) business days following the account commodity status change.
MATRIX OF PG&E-INITIATED RECORDS RELATED TO SHUT-OFFS BY METER TYPE

EXAMPLE
Scenario: An interval meter customer has been billed from 5/15 to 6/15. The customer requests a shut-off for 7/28.
Process:
1. PG&E will issue the metering data record(s), MEPMD01 and/or MEPMD02, to the current Electric ESP as well as the bill-calculator if PG&E is not the MDMA for the period 6/15 to 7/15.
2. After the 7/28 shut-off is processed, the current Electric ESP, the pending Electric ESP, and any ancillary service providers will receive an administrative data record MEPAD01, indicating that the account commodity service has been disconnected and the effective date of 7/28.
3. The current Electric ESP, as well as the bill-calculator if PG&E is not the MDMA, will receive a metering data record MEPMD01 for the period 7/15 to 7/28. This metering record will be initiated as soon as the shut-off has been processed, it will not be subject to the timing of the customer’s normal billing cycle.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 75
Exception: If a Lock Pending is issued, this means the account is marked to not bill until the account commodity is closed (i.e., there will not be a bill for on-cycle bill on 7/15). In this case, the metering records will be for the period 6/15 to 7/28.
Meter Change A meter change should not cause an interruption of DA service. Monthly, interval, demand, and time-of-use (TOU) metered accounts should receive the metering records shown in the table below at the time of the customer’s normal billing cycle.

TOU METERED None • One MEPMD02 records for the old meter: start reads information
Meter field = old meter number
• One MEPMD02 records for the new meter: start reads information
Meter field = new meter number
• One MEPMD02 records for the old meter: end reads information
Meter field = old meter number
• One MEPMD02 records for the new meter: end reads information
Meter field = new meter number
• One MEPMD02 record for the old and new meters’ totalized usage information
Meter field = “TOTAL”
EXAMPLE
Scenario: 1/2 was the last on cycle billing read date with a read of 00500. On 1/15 there was a meter change, and the old meter had an end read of 00550. The new meter had a start read of 00000. On 2/2 the billing cycle end read was 00060. Thus, the billing cycle usage reflects 50 kWh for the old meter and 60 kWh for the new meter for a total of 110 kWh totalized usage.
Process:
1. PG&E will issue to the Electric ESP, the appropriate metering data type records, (MEPMD01, MEPMD02) on 2/2. The appropriate metering data type records will show the old meter number and new meter number start/end reads as described in the above matrix. The metering data record for usage will indicate “TOTAL” in the Meter Field.
NEW METER SETS WHICH ARE NOT CONCURRENT WITH OLD METER REMOVALS
The example above assumes that the new meter is set on the same day that the old meter is removed. In reality, there may be situations where the old meter is removed, but the new meter cannot be set on the
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 79
same day. In these cases, the account Commodity Status will be changed to “REMOVED” until the new meter is set.
If the account is a dual commodity, the Commodity Status for the commodity receiving the new meter will be changed to “OPEN” after the new meter has been set and the Account number and XREF ID fields will remain unchanged.
If the account is a single commodity, a new account may be created after the new meter has been set. A new XREF ID will be created if a new account number is created.
For both dual and single commodity accounts, an account status of CLOSED or REMOVED will require PG&E’s system to initiate a disconnect notice to the Electric ESP. The Electric ESP will be required to initiate a SP-REQ/CONNECT MEPMD01 record to re-establish the account once the Commodity Status changes to “OPEN”.
METER CONFIGURATION DATA
PG&E will communicate the new meter configuration information to Electric ESPs through its Metering Event Group (MEG).
Usage Adjustments
Usage adjustments occur when previously reported usage for the account requires modification. The modification can be read and/or usage changes or changes in the reported periods (i.e., billing dates, interval period). PG&E communicates usage adjustments to ESPs through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI 867). The EDI 867 Guidelines has a code in the BPT segment that identifies corrected usage as “CO” located in the BPT01. There is also an adjustment code that is in QTY01 of the EDI 867. This code is “A5”. The QTY segment is in the PTD loop. The adjusted reads/usage records for an account will reflect the correct reads/usage for a period which has already been reported. The metering data records will reflect usage amounts only and not dollar values associated with usage. The initiation of adjustment records is not dependent upon the timing of the end-use customer’s billing cycle. Therefore, PG&E can issue adjustment records to the ESP immediately following an adjustment transaction at any time during a billing cycle.
For more detailed information regarding usage adjustments, please refer to the EDI 867 Guidelines located at http://www.pge.com/edi.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 80
USAGE ADJUSTMENTS TO MONTHLY METER DATA DUE TO ADDITIONAL VALIDATION CHECKING OF DATA WHEN PG&E IS THE MDMA
One reason adjustments may occur when PG&E is the MDMA for monthly meter data is because PG&E continues to perform validation of meter data after that data is sent to ESPs. PG&E uses several systems to validate meter data. A metering record will sometimes pass initial validation checks, and fail later checks. Data is sent to the ESP after the initial checks. If potential problems are identified as the record is passed through additional tests, the information is re-verified to determine if there is in fact an error. In many cases, the data is not in error and does not have to be adjusted. However, when there is an error, adjustments need to be made to the data. Adjustments made in accordance with the processes described in the subsequent sections of this document are then sent to the ESP.
MATRIX OF PG&E-INITIATED RECORDS RELATED TO USAGE ADJUSTMENTS
The records indicated in the table below are issued by PG&E at the time the adjustment is made.

EXAMPLE
Scenario: A monthly metered account has been billed in the following manner and the normal MEPMD01 and MEPMD02 record(s) have already been sent to the Electric ESP when the account was billed:
ELECTRIC ESP NAME
DATE MEPMD02 USAGE
MEPMD01: START READ
END READ
PG&E 2/15 -3/15 400 KWH 0 400
PG&E 3/15 - 4/15 350 KWH 400 750
ESP 4/15 - 5/15 500 KWH 750 1250
ESP 5/15 - 6/15 400 KWH 1250 1650
On 6/23 a correction is made to the period 4/15 - 5/15. The usage for the period should have been reported as 550 kWh with an end read of 1300. Then on 6/26 a correction is made to the period 5/15 - 6/15. The usage should have been 350 kWh with an end read of 1650.
Process:
Under the given scenario PG&E would issue the records shown in the table below when the adjustment is made to the account.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 83
TIMING ORDER RECORD TYPE ISSUED

Eff Stop field = 199806150001
Data field = TOTAL,A,350
Records for items 1 and 2 will be sent on the same day (6/23) when the bill period 4/14 - 5/15 is adjusted. Then the records for items 3 and 4 will be sent on the same day (6/26) when the bill period 5/15 - 6/15 is adjusted. The timing between the sending of the two sets of records will be around 3 days and based on when each adjustment transaction is processed.
STAND ALONE REBATE TRANSACTIONS (REVERSAL ONLY ADJUSTMENT)
Under some circumstances only a rebate transaction will need to be made to the account. A rebate is a reversal of what was originally billed. This business scenario may occur when PG&E needs to reverse a bill and then wait for the next on cycle bill to rebill the account. In this situation, PG&E’s system will wait for three (3) processing days after a rebill transaction is processed by the biller. If the rebill transaction does not occur within three (3) processing days of the rebate, the system will interpret the rebill as an reversal only adjustment and send the rebate as a meter adjustment record reversing the reads, and with 0 usage. When the rebill transaction is eventually processed through the system, then the rebill transaction will be sent to the Electric ESP’s as adjusted reads/usage records.
Using the same scenario as the previous example, adjust the billing for the bill period of 5/15 - 6/15. The adjustment is to just reverse the bill and let next month’s on cycle read generate the rebill. So, on 6/20, a reversal is processed. On 6/23, the system did not receive the rebill for 5/15 to 6/15, so it assumed the biller wanted to do just a reversal only adjustment. The system will send to the Electric ESP the following records on 6/23:
MEPMD01 - DATA field = 199805150001,A,1250,199805150001,A,1250
MEPMD02 - Eff Start field = 199805150001 Eff Stop field = 199805150001 DATA field = TOTAL, A,0
On 7/15 - the next on cycle billing, the following records will be sent. Note that since the billing period includes the bill period that was reversed, the quality code will be A to indicate an adjustment to a previously sent metering data record.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 84
MEPMD01 - DATA field = 199805150001, ,1250,199807150001,A,1850

ELECTRIC ESP ACCOUNT BILLING
Overview
This chapter focuses on ongoing DA billing and credit related issues, which are not a part of the initial DA setup process. The material covers bill processing; the collection and disbursement of funds for either PG&E or the Electric ESP with respect to Consolidated UDC billing; Consolidated ESP billing, and Separate billing.
Bill Components and Billing Options
Summary of bill components Utility bills which are sent to end-use customers are required to show “unbundled” charges listed on the bill. These unbundled charges consist of the following components:
• Generation
• Transmission
• Distribution
• Public Purpose Programs (PPP)
• California Energy Commission Tax (ECT)
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 86
• CTC
• Nuclear Decommissioning
• Energy Procurement Surcharge
About the California Energy Commission Tax In keeping with the developments of electric direct access, the California State Board of Equalization decided that the Energy Commission Tax (ECT), will be billed and collected by PG&E, for all UDC Consolidated Billing. The utility distribution company will cease billing of this tax immediately when the customer’s service is switched to direct access. The customer’s current Electric ESP will assume the responsibility of billing and collecting this tax from the customer effective with the direct access service switch date. The Electric ESP is responsible for remitting the ECT to the California State Board of Equalization.
The ECT, also known as the California Energy Resources Surcharge, applies to the consumption of electrical energy. It is intended to provide funding for the California Energy Commission. The regulations for ECT are covered in the California Administrative Code, Title 18, Chapter 2, Subchapter 5, Article 1, which states:
“Every electric utility making sales of electrical energy to consumers in this state shall collect the surcharge from each consumer other than a consumer that is an electric utility or is exempt under Chapter 3, part 19, of the Revenue and Taxation Code, at the time it collects its billing from the consumer for the electrical energy sold. A consumer is any person receiving electrical energy furnished by an electric utility and includes a person receiving electrical energy for redistribution for the use of this tenants.”
The ECT rate, which is subject to revision from time to time, is currently set at two-tenths of a mil ($0.0003) per kilowatt-hour. It is shown as a separate line item on the customer’s bill.
The ECT is based on the consumption of electrical energy and applies to all but the following end-use customers:
1. The United States, its unincorporated agencies and instrumentalities
2. Any incorporated agency or instrumentality of the United States wholly owned by either the United States or by a corporation wholly owned by the United States
3. The American National Red Cross, chapters, and branches
4. Insurance companies, including title insurance companies, subject to taxation under the California Constitution, Article XIII, Section 28
5. Indians purchasing and consuming electrical energy on Indian reservations
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 87
6. Career consular officers and employees of certain foreign governments who are exempt from tax by treaties and other diplomatic agreements with the United States
7. Federal credit unions organized in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Credit Union Act.
Questions regarding the tax exemption and remittance timelines should be directed to the State Board of Equalization. Additional information may be found in the Revenue and Taxation Code.
Billing options Customer bills will reflect the total amounts charged for each of the bill items described in the table above regardless of the billing option which the customer chooses at the time of DA sign-up. Again the billing options available to end-use customers are:
CONSOLIDATED UDC BILLING
Under the Consolidated EDC billing option, the Electric ESP will send its rate schedules to PG&E. PG&E will then compute the Electric ESP’s charges based upon the Electric ESP’s rate schedules and customer meter data and send a consolidated invoice to the DA customer which will include both Electric ESP’s and PG&E’s charge amounts. Rate schedule information is available within PG&E’s Web Tariff Book Web site.
PG&E will purchase the Electric ESP’s receivables under the terms and conditions set forth in PG&E’s tariffs.
CONSOLIDATED ESP BILLING
Electric ESPs who elect to offer Consolidated ESP billing may choose Partial Consolidated ESP billing or Full Consolidated ESP billing pursuant to PG&E’s DA Rule 22. Prior to providing either of these billing options, the Electric ESP must meet CPUC-specified creditworthiness requirements. The differences between Partial Consolidated ESP and Full Consolidated ESP billing options are described below.
PARTIAL CONSOLIDATED ESP BILLING
Under Partial Consolidated ESP billing, PG&E will calculate and send its bill to the Electric ESP. The Electric ESP in turn will then send a consolidated bill to the customer. The Electric ESP is not responsible for the accuracy of PG&E’s charges.
FULL CONSOLIDATED ESP BILLING
Under the Full Consolidated ESP billing option, the Electric ESP will read the meter, calculate both the UDC and ESP charges and bill the customer. The Electric ESP will detail PG&E’s charges in
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 88
conformance with PG&E’s specifications. The Electric ESP must obtain PG&E’s consent and approval prior to offering Full Consolidated ESP billing to its customers, and must also comply with all relevant provisions under PG&E’s DA Rule 22.
SEPARATE BILLING
Under Separate billing, customers receive two bills, one from the Electric ESP detailing their fees and one from PG&E detailing PG&E fees.
Although an Electric ESP can select Separate billing as a service option, PG&E may also under certain circumstances require an Electric ESP to proceed under Separate billing for reasons including but not limited to the items below.
• If the Electric ESP selected Consolidated UDC billing but the ESP’s rate schedule was not properly received when the DASR was transmitted, PG&E will establish Separate billing for the corresponding end-use customers. Consolidated UDC billing, in this case would be established once the Electric ESP resubmitted the rate schedule and the schedule data was entered into PG&E’s systems.
• If the current Electric ESP has defaulted on the terms and conditions of ESP Consolidated billing under either PG&E’s ESP Service Agreement or DA Rule 22, PG&E will establish separate billing for that end-use customer.
• If an Electric ESP has indicated that it would like to offer Consolidated ESP billing but has not fulfilled creditworthiness and/or EDI requirements, PG&E will require the Electric ESP to proceed under Separate billing.
Read and Bill Serial Dates Because multiple services may be represented on one bill, the meter Read Date will not always be equal to the Bill Date. PG&E will retain the serial system currently in use and apply it towards the Read and Bill cycles. Both Read and Bill serials will be communicated to the ESP via the acknowledgement (ACK) DASR.
Consolidated UDC Billing
The Electric ESP and PG&E will work together to establish the ESP’s billing information in PG&E’s billing system. For a fee, PG&E can generate Consolidated UDC bills for Electric ESPs and serve as the collection agent as well. Set up fees are based upon PG&E rate schedule E-ESP.
When DA begins, PG&E will offer Electric ESPs Rate Ready pricing options. In order to calculate the Electric ESPs charges for Rate Ready options, PG&E will need the rate structure(s) and rate schedules that the Electric ESP has selected. The Electric ESP may have up to 100 rate schedules. The Electric ESP will then populate the rate schedules with their respective rates and prices.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 89
Pricing options Electric ESPs communicate Rate-ready pricing options by completing the PG&E Consolidated Billing Pricing Worksheet. The following exhibit is an example of the worksheet.
7.1 - PG&E CONSOLIDATED BILLING PRICING WORKSHEET
The Electric ESP must complete and submit the PG&EConsolidated Billing Pricing Worksheet for every pricing change that it wants to make. The worksheet can be downloaded from the “DA Documents” link on the PG&E’s ESP Resource Center Web site or obtained by contacting ESP Services at 415-973-1666. Completed worksheets should be faxed to ESP Services at 415-973-2194.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 90
The following Rate Ready pricing options will be available in on the DA implementation date:
FLAT ($/MONTH)
Also referred to as fixed price, a flat rate structure is a non-volumetric set cost that is billed per month regardless of the amount of the customer’s usage.
An additional flat rate to cover monthly Electric ESP administrative customer charges may be combined with this rate structure.
SINGLE-TIERED ($/KWH)
A single-tiered rate structure is a set cost billed per usage unit (kilowatt-hour or therm). The customer’s energy charge will vary according to the amount of electricity consumption per month.
A flat rate to cover monthly Electric ESP administrative customer charges may be combined with this rate structure.
DOUBLE-TIERED ($/KWH, ELECTRIC ESP DESIGNATES TIERS)
A double-tiered rate structure has two set costs billed per usage unit (kilowatt-hour or therm) which is charged whenever a usage baseline or threshold is designated. The first-tier price will apply until the usage threshold is exceeded. The second-tier price will apply to any usage above the designated threshold. The customer’s energy charge will vary according to the amount of electricity consumption per month.
A flat rate to cover monthly Electric ESP administrative customer charges may be combined with this rate structure.
TIME-OF-USE - TOU ($/KWH, BASED ON PG&E’S TIERS)
A TOU structure is a combination of set costs billed per usage unit (kilowatt-hour or therm) based on consumption during a particular period of the day. Depending on the customer class and the installed metering device, TOU pricing may have up to three different rates for three different peak periods. The TOU periods are on-peak, partial-peak, and off-peak. Rates are more expensive during the on-peak periods, when more customers demand energy. Customers may tailor their energy consumption during the off-peak hours to take advantage of the low off-peak rates. The customer’s energy charge will vary according to the amount of electricity consumed during a particular time of the day.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 91
CUSTOM PRICING
A rate plan that does not fit with any of the above four pricing structures is considered custom pricing. On an individual case basis, PG&E will evaluate an Electric ESP’s customized pricing structure to determine whether it can be accommodated and implemented by PG&E.
SUBMITTING RATE-READY DATA TO PG&E
Electric ESPs should contact PG&E’s ESP Billing Services (ESPBS - see the “DA Contacts" link on PG&E’s ESP Resource Center Web site) to discuss transmission requirements prior to submitting rate-ready data.
DEADLINES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF RATE-READY DATA
In order for PG&E to send out consolidated bills which include Electric ESP billing information for a given DA billing cycle, the Electric ESP must provide the following information to ESPBS by the dates specified:
• Electric ESP billing rates and structures at least thirty (30) days prior to the billing cycle end date.
• Customer list with associated Electric ESP billing rates at least fifteen (15) days before the billing cycle end date.
There is a fee for a rate change based on PG&E’s rate schedule E-ESP. If the Electric ESP should require custom programming, ESPBS will make a concerted effort to fulfill the requirements specified within the time frame above but cannot guarantee billing implementation for that billing cycle period.
Bill format PG&E will include the Electric ESP’s logo on the page of the customer’s bill which details Electric ESP charges. However, the Electric ESP must provide ESPBS with the company information that must appear on the bill (i.e. Electric ESP’s name, address, telephone number) as well as the Electric ESP’s company logo. The logo should be provided in the form of a bitmap image file. All details regarding the Electric ESP bill page format are addressed in the Direct Access Consolidated Billing Options Worksheet which can be located and downloaded from the “DA Documents” link on the ESP Resource Center Web site.
Bill preparation and processing PG&E will prepare the consolidated bill according to the procedures outlined below.
1. PG&E will calculate the Electric ESP’s energy cost charges. The Electric ESP’s rate schedule is used to calculate the energy cost component. Information regarding the submission of rate schedule information by the Electric ESP is covered within Chapter 3: Processing DASRs.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 92
2. PG&E’s charges for transmission, delivery, PPPs, CTC, and other charges that may apply to a given customer, are calculated separately using the customer’s PG&E rate schedule.
3. The Electric ESP’s charges are then combined with PG&E’s charges onto one bill.
4. Utility user taxes, if applicable, are calculated on the total of the PG&E and Electric ESP combined charges.
5. Other processing functions such as the update of receivables, payments, credits, debits, and other adjustments are performed by PG&E to generate the Consolidated UDC bill.
Bill Printing and Delivery 1. Bills will follow the format designated by the Electric ESP in the Direct Access Consolidated Billing
Options Worksheet, to include the layout, logos, and other enclosures specified.
2. A printed copy of the bill is mailed to end-use customers on Summary Billing and to those end-use customer not on Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
3. If the customer has an EDI Trading Partner Agreement in place with PG&E and has followed the requirements for implementing EDI as outlined in Chapter 2: DA Setup, PG&E can submit invoices to the end-use customer electronically.
Reports generated by PG&E Since the billing process is a collaborative effort, it requires constant communication between the Electric ESP and PG&E. Reports are the method by which PG&E and the Electric ESP coordinate their consolidated billing effort. Reports are sent manually by PG&E in an electronic format, to the Electric ESP. Contents of the report include data relating to rate schedule changes and billed data and revenue. Reports are created daily.
Daily Billing File The daily billing file consists of two sections. The first section includes the billing data. He second section includes any adjustments made to a particular bill.
Utility User Tax Application Under the rate-ready billing type, PG&E will calculate any applicable utility user taxes on the total of the PG&E and Electric ESP combined charges. PG&E will apply the utility user tax, including exemptions and caps based on PG&E’s agreement with the governing cities and counties in PG&E’s service territory.
Under the bill-ready billing type, PG&E, will apply utility user taxes on the Electric ESP’s charges.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 93
Remittance of utility user tax is the responsibility of each party, PG&E, and Electric ESP for their respective taxable charges. PG&E will report the taxes billed on the Electric ESP charges to the Electric ESP. PG&E will only remit the utility user tax collected to the Electric ESP. The Electric ESP is responsible for remitting the utility user tax to the governing authority.
How PG&E calculates Electric ESP payments
WHEN A CUSTOMER MAKES PAYMENT TO PG&E
The portion due to the ESP is then forwarded on the the ESPs financial institution. This is done via ACH wire fund transfer, using banking data provided by the ESP.
Because the amount deposited to the bank is one lump sum, PG&E then sends to the ESP an electronic file which lists the detail for that deposit (customers’ names, account ID’s and associated remittance amounts) since this payment file is sent automatically, the ESP must provide PG&E with one e-mail address where the report is to be sent.
PAYMENTS FROM ELECTRIC ESP TO PG&E
Payments from the Electric ESP to PG&E encompass service charges for billing services, which PG&E provides on behalf of the Electric ESP. The Electric ESP will be responsible for the payment of PG&E’s charges on an ongoing basis while Consolidated UDC billing is in effect. Charges are dependent upon the transactions incurred during a given month, and Electric ESPs are billed once a month for these charges by PG&E. Service charge amounts billed can vary for each account specified under the Consolidated UDC billing option. Charges associated with Consolidated UDC billing are specified on PG&E’s Web Tariff Book Web site. PG&E, upon ten (10) days written notice, may net any past due payment for associated Consolidated UDC billing services, as outlined in Rate Schedule E-ESP (see PG&E’s Web Tariff Book Web site), against payments by PG&E on the Electric ESP’s accounts receivable.
Consolidated ESP Billing
Consolidated ESP billing involves the transmission of charges for transmission, distribution, PPP, and CTC from PG&E to the Electric ESP.
BILL FORMAT REQUIREMENTS
PG&E requires that Electric ESPs provide detailed page showing PG&E related charges according to a standardized format. Electric ESPs should consult the PG&E Bill Format for Consolidated ESP Billing document for detailed requirements on the representation and transmission of PG&E billing information. The document can be downloaded from the “DA Documents” link on the ESP Resource Center.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 94
CALCULATION OF CHARGES OWED TO PG&E
PG&E calculates charges for a given service account’s electric transmission and distribution services. Transmission and distribution charge information is then sent electronically to the Electric ESP for inclusion in the Electric ESP’s bill.
PAYMENT PROCESSING
Once PG&E’s charges are calculated, these charges are transmitted to the Electric ESP through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). The Electric ESP is responsible for payment to PG&E regardless of whether or not it receives payment from the end-use customer. The Electric ESP must submit payments to PG&E via EDI as discussed below.
ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE (EDI)
Electric ESPs wishing to provide billing services for PG&E must meet EDI requirements (see Chapter 2: DA Setup for detailed information). EDI is the adopted standard for the transmission of charge information from PG&E to the Electric ESP and for PG&E’s subsequent receipt of payments from the Electric ESP. Service accounts that are billed through Consolidated ESP billing must be added to the list of EDI customers for a given Electric ESP.
Separate Billing Procedures
Under the Separate billing option, both PG&E and the Electric ESP will bill the end-use customer individually for their respective charges. Neither billing nor payment information is exchanged between the Electric ESP and PG&E since each entity is responsible for the billing and collection of payments associated with Separate billing service accounts.

CUSTOMER INFORMATION RELEASES
Overview
This chapter provides information on how Electric ESPs participating in DA with PG&E can obtain certain types of customer information.
Confidential Customer Information Release
Electric ESPs have the opportunity to request customer specific information that includes energy usage for the last 12 billing transactions.. In order to request information for a customer, the Electric ESP will be required to obtain and provide ESP Services with a signed Customer Information Release form and indicate the specific customer account number(s). The form can be obtained from the “DA Documents” link on the ESP Resource Center website. The signed form should be faxed to Robert Reeder at (415) 973-2194 or e-mailed to [email protected].
The following data will be provided in the customer information release:
• Service ID • Meter Number
• Customer Name • Meter Read Date (current/prior)
• Service Address • Billing Cycle Days
• Billing Address • TOU Split (Demand & Energy)
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, CONFIDENTIAL – For Internal Use by Authorized Personnel Only 10/5/05 Page 96
• SIC 2 • Total revenue for last 12 billing periods
• Rate Schedule • Total kWh for last 12 billing periods
Note: Load research sample data will not be included in the release of customer information.
PG&E will forward the information described above within 10 working days of its receipt of the Electric ESP’s request. PG&E will provide DA customer data free of charge for up to two times a year. However, a charge of $40.00 per data set will apply to subsequent requests. Data format options include hard copy report, floppy disk or e-mail file.

APPLICANT A person or agency requesting PG&E to supply electric service or for charges in electric service. Electric service may consist of both energy and energy related services.
APPLICATION An oral, electronic, or a written request to PG&E for electric service; not an inquiry as to the availability or charges for such service. The form of the request shall be at PG&E’s discretion.
BASELINE A rate structure mandated by the California Legislative and implemented at PG&E in 1984 that insures all residential customers are provided a minimum necessary quantity of electricity at the lowest possible cost.
BILLING AGENT The billing agent prepares and submits bills to end-use customers; collects and processes payments; and remits aggregate funds and records to its clients.
BILLING CYCLE The regular interval at which a bill for electric service is rendered; typically spans a 27 to 33 day period.
BILLING DEMAND The demand on which the customer is to be billed in accordance with the terms and conditions of their applicable rate schedule.
BILLING FACTOR Factor used to calculate a bill on a daily basis as opposed to monthly, when the billing period is other than 27 to 33 days. All rate schedules assume monthly billings of 27 to 33, and the Billing Factor for these billings is equal to 1. The factor is used to adjust flat monthly charges (such as fixed usage accounts), monthly customer, monthly meter, and minimum service charges to monthly parity when an account is billed for fewer than 27 days (Billing Factor is less than 1), or when billed for more than 33 days (Billing Factor is greater than 1). The factor is based on 365 days divided by 12 months, which is 30.4166, the number of average days in an average month. The billing Factor formula is:
Billing Factor = Number of Billing Days divided by 30.4166
BILLING MONTH The period of time over which a customer is billed for services rendered during a particular billing cycle.
BILLING SERVICE DATE The effective date for commencement of either of the direct Access Consolidated Billing options.
BUSINESS DAY A day on which PG&E offices are open to conduct general business in California.
