Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: March 1, 2002
Subject: Electric service at Donner Summit
Mr. Tony Bouchand has asked to address the Board at the meeting on March 6. He
lives on Donner Summit and is unhappy with the amount he pays to PG&E for electricity.
He wants to know if TDPUD can become the service provider. Steve Hollabaugh and I
do not want to spend any time on this issue without talking to the Board first.
Serving electric territory at Donner Summit is not easy for us. It would require some
level of cooperation from PG&E. It would require approval from the California PUC and
from LAFCo. We would need to determine the way to get power to the Summit. There
is money involved in all of this. Steve and I have no answers to any of these issues, and
we have a fairly full plate right now.
However, increased electric load helps solve our power contract problem.
