Responding to the Obama administration’s rollout of a new five-year plan for potential development of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), Rep.

San Diego Gas and Electric Co. said Tuesday that prospects look good for it to begin a four-year rollout of advanced electric and gas meters later this year. The combination utility received a favorable decision by a California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) administrative law judge on its proposed metering program, which still requires approval by the commission.
