I may be wrong, but my understanding is that when the State DWR took over power purchases that AB 1890 was for the most part, ditched (as the Governor probably declared a state of emergency allowing him to ignore AB 1890).

As far as munis charging more than IPPs, it is also my understanding that unlike IPPs muni power sales may not be under the authority of the FERC. Another possible reason for higher prices from the DWP, is that the State could have possibly used the DWP as a vehicle to mask its power purchases from marketers (with the DWP getting a 15% markup for their trouble).
