QUESTION 2:
Reference: Watson Testimony at p. 6 (OFOs):
Please provide any cost analysis undertaken by or for SoCalGas respecting the
installation of meters and/or gauges on the SoCalGas’ system to measure pressure
and/or inventory on the transmission system. Please provide a breakdown that includes
the following: cost of meters and/or gauges; cost of installation; cost of integration
systems; and the number of meters/gauges required to provide an accurate measure of
pressure and/or inventory on SoCalGas’ transmission system.
RESPONSE 2:
There has been no such cost analysis. Linepack in the transmission system is
irrelevant to how SoCalGas calls an OFO.
