During 2009, the CPUC and FERC authorized the transfer of the Mountainview power plant to utility rate base which resulted in a non-cash accounting benefit of approximately $46 million. This non-cash accounting benefit primarily resulted from the establishment of regulatory assets to recognize $50 million in differences in the accounting treatment for non-regulated and rate-regulated entities mainly related to equity AFUDC. There was no economic impact to customers from this change as compared to the FERC-approved power-purchase agreement.
