In Decision D.01-09-060 on September 20, 2001, the CPUC suspended Direct Access. On February 25, 2008, the CPUC said it will consider steps to enable lifting the suspension. As part of this proceeding, on June 2, 2008, the CPUC held a workshop to initiative discussion regarding the merits and manner by which the California Department of Water Resources could pursue novation or assignment of its contracts through renegotiation. The CPUC will hold another workshop July 1-2, 2008. More information is available on our What's Hot calendar or on the workshop's agenda.
When Direct Access was being implemented (D.97-05-040), we directed California's investor-owned utilities to submit monthly reports to regarding their direct access implementation activities.
