EXHIBIT A
Documents incorporated by reference
Edison is the only associate company or affiliate of
Doga that is subject to the regulation of its retail
electric or gas rates by a State commission. The California
Public Utilities Commission ("PUC") is the sole State
commission with jurisdiction over the retail rates of
Edison.
Section 33(a)(2) of the Act provides that an exemption
under section 33(a)(1) shall not apply or be effective
unless every State commission having jurisdiction over the
retail electric or gas rates of a public utility company
that is an associate company or an affiliate company of a
company otherwise exempted under section 33(a)(1) "has
certified to the Commission that it has the authority and
resources to protect ratepayers subject to its jurisdiction
and that it intends to exercise its authority." However,
this requirement is deemed satisfied if the State commission
had, prior to the date of enactment of the Energy Policy Act
of 1992 (October 24, 1992) "on the basis of prescribed
conditions of general applicability, determined that
ratepayers of a public utility company are adequately
insulated from the effects of diversification and the
diversification would not impair the ability of the State
commission to regulate effectively the operations of such
company." As contemplated by this provision, the PUC in
authorizing the creation of Edison International (formerly
SCEcorp) in 1988 considered the effect of diversification on
Edison. The PUC imposed various conditions of general
applicability on the operations of the holding company
system and, based on those conditions, determined that the
ratepayers of Edison are adequately insulated from the
effects of diversification, and that diversification would
not impair the PUC's ability to regulate effectively
Edison's operations.
In approving the formation of the Edison International
holding company system, the PUC imposed 15 conditions of
general applicability on Edison and the holding company.
Southern California Edison Company, 90 PUR4th 45 (Cal. PUC
1988). In formulating these conditions, the PUC
recognized the primary importance of insulating Edison's
ratepayers from the effect of diversification: "The one
thing we must make sure of is that the activities of the
holding company and its nonutility enterprises do not
adversely affect the ratepayers of the utility." Id. at 63.
The PUC concluded that the conditions it adopted with regard
to financial controls and reporting were "adequate to
support our regulatory function" of so insulating Edison's
ratepayers. Id. Accordingly, the PUC adopted the
conclusion of its Division of Ratepayer Advocates that the
general conditions imposed upon the holding company would
"[e]nsure that Edison ratepayers are insulated from all
effects of nonutility activities." Id. at 69
Additionally, the PUC found that "given the conditions
we will require, there should be no diminution of the
Commission's ability to regulate Edison effectively or
Edison's ability to provide reliable utility service at
reasonable rates." Id. at 57. "The proposed reorganization
is designed to result in a corporate structure which
enhances management's ability to take advantage of
nonutility business opportunities should they arise while
not diminishing the Commission's ability to effectively
regulate utility operations." Id. at 68.
Accordingly, Doga meets the criteria set forth in
section 33(a) for qualification as a "foreign utility
company."
The undersigned company has duly caused this statement
to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned officer
thereunto duly authorized.
