Calif To Order Utils To Pay Small Generators Up Front-Gov

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)-- California regulators will order the state's two 
largest utilities to pay small, independent power generators in advance, a 
move Gov. Gray Davis hopes will bring a quick end to the blackouts that 
darkened California this week. 
Davis accused PG&E Corp. (PCG) unit Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and Edison 
International (EIX) unit Southern California Edison of taking in money from 
customers while failing to pay the generators, known as qualifying 
facilities, which produce up to one-third of the state's power. As a result, 
he said, the utilities are partly responsible for this week's blackouts. 
"It's wrong and irresponsible of the utilities to pocket this money and not 
pay the generators," the governor said at a Capitol news conference Tuesday 
evening. "They've acted irresponsibly and immorally and it has to stop." 
The state lost about 3,100 megawatts, or enough electricity to power 3.1 
million homes, on Tuesday from alternative energy plants that say they can't 
afford to keep operating because the utilities haven't paid their bills in 
weeks. The utilities, which are near bankruptcy, owe the QFs about $1 
billion. Pacific Gas & Electric has made partial payments. 
As reported by Dow Jones Newswires,
Henry Samueli, " spent the hour before the meeting using a letter opener to 
 unfold his newspaper mail and sitting by the window so he could receive some sunlight 
 to read. " 
 Cox, R - Newport Beach, told the control panel, which was accommodate a hearing on 
 California's electricity crisis, that " the integral ship's company could not function 
 during this menstruation of time and the same was dependable for more than a million 
 citizenry, " he said. " It's a Third World experience in California. "
