metering infrastructure project.&#160;&#160;The CPUC authorized funding of
$466.8 million, including $400 million of capital costs, to be recovered through
an increased revenue requirement.&#160;&#160;The Utility intends to install
upgraded electric meters with associated devices that would offer an expanded
range of service features for electric customers that would support energy
conservation and demand response options, such as the enablement of "smart"
appliances that could use energy more wisely in response to near real-time
energy data.&#160;&#160;These upgraded meters would also increase operational
efficiencies for the Utility through, among other things, the ability to
remotely connect and disconnect service to electric customers.&#160;&#160;In
addition, the upgraded electric meters are designed to facilitate the Utility&#8217;s
ability to incorporate future advanced metering technology innovations in a
timely and cost-effective manner.</font></div>

the Utility incurs additional advanced metering project costs that the CPUC does
not find reasonable or that are not recoverable in rates, whether the project is
implemented on schedule, whether the Utility can successfully integrate the new
advanced metering system with its billing and other computer information
systems, and whether the new technology performs as intended.</font></div>
