ALJ Declined to Adopt the Sales Forecast Issue in the ERRA Forecast Scoping Memo and Ruling
The ALJ declined to include SDG&E’s 2022 sales forecast in the scope of this proceeding on the grounds that the issue is already scheduled to be adjudicated in a separate, standalone application. If a sales forecast decision is not issued before SDG&E’s November Update, SDG&E will need to further adjust rates to incorporate the updated sales forecast at a later time.
