Utility Consumers' Action Network (UCAN) recommends that the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) reject SDG&E's Sunrise project, as currently proposed. The months of discovery and weeks of evidentiary hearings have borne much greater clarity into the SDG&E application. They have revealed that the applicant has misled regulators and the public about the costs of the project, misstated the need and timeline for the project, and ignored smarter, more flexible and more economic alternatives.

ALJ Weissman to SDG&E's Linda Brown: "I understand that. What I am trying to really understand now, though, is not so much what kind of case can SDG&E bring in before the Commission to demonstrate that it needs the Sunrise line. I'm much more interested at this point in understanding the planning process within the company that leads you to the conclusion that you want to build Sunrise."
