" . . . . . the commission has frequently deviated from cost allocations based solely on lrmc , and has been moving towards embedded costs for unbundled transmission and storage functions , as evidenced in both the recent decision in the gir , and in the gas accord for pg & e . therefore , it is apparent that the commission is interested in comparing lrmc and embedded cost for cost allocation purposes . for this reason , ega ' s motion to strike testimony on embedded cost - based allocation is denied . testimony on embedded costs will be compared with the testimony on lrmc , to enable parties and the commission to determine which method , or combination of methods , is most appropriate for allocation among customers of each utilities ' non - gas costs of service . including an embedded cost analysis in this bcap might require more work from all the parties , but the record will then be as complete as possible so that the commission can make a well - informed decision .
