SUMMARY
Mikkelsen & Associates, LLC., (Mikkelsen) has provided consulting services to the City beginning in 2014 to obtain additional PG&E Rule 20A Program (Rule 20A) allocation credits for work on the replacement of overhead with underground electric utilities. Sources of the additional credits were:
• PG&E’s calculation of credits for previously completed Rule 20A projects;
• Purchase of other local agencies’ unused Rule 20A credits; and
• A return to the City’s pre-2011 allocation allotment that was nearly twice the current amount.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) 2017 General Rate Case (GRC) decision required an overall audit of the Rule 20A. Additional consulting services by Mikkelsen are necessary to provide support and representation for the City in the audit.
