✦ Synopsis
To prevent fuel switching away from gas in today's market environment, California must take innovative measures to respond to the needs of individual customers. Over the past couple of years, the gas industry has undergone a dramatic transformation as regulators have made, and continue to make, changes in the rules under which we operate, from the wellhead to the burner tip, at both the federal and state levels. These changes include: the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC's) Order No. 380 series, which eliminated nonincurred variable costs from minimum bills and removed the minimum physical take requirement from pipeline sales tariffs; FERC's Order No. 436 series, which provided a format for nondiscriminatory interstate transportation of thirdparty gas; the California Public Utility Commission's (CPUC's) Decision 85-12-102, which ordered California gas utilities to file tariffs providing a mechanism for long-term intrastate transportation of third-party gas; and CPUC's Decision 86-03-057 which ordered California gas utilities to file tariffs providing a mechanism for short-term intrastate transportation of third-party gas.
