AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing the C i Managerto Execute a Third Phase
Agreement with the Northern California PowerAgency for the Western
Geothermal, Inc. Renewable Energy Project (EUD)
MEETING DATE: February20,2008
PREPARED BY Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Managerto execute a Third
Phase Agreement with the Northern California Power Agency
(NCPA) for the Western Geothermal, Inc. Renewable Energy
Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In December, 2007, NCPAwas presented an opportunityto acquire
additional geothermal energy for its members. Western Geothermal,
Inc. had plans to develop a new geothermal project (Geothermal
Project) in the Geysers Geothermal Field located in the Mayacamas Mountains of Sonoma and Lake
Counties in northern California and offered to sell the output of the projectto NCPA. The target operation
date is April 2010.
The planned 25 to 33 megawatt project is intended/expected to qualify as an Eligible Renewable
Resource (ERR) under California's Renewable Portfolio Standard Program (RPS). In addition, the
environmental attributes associated with reduced emissions of SO2, NO, CO and Greenhouse Gases
(CO2,methane, and others) will accrue to the purchasers of energy from the Geothermal Project.
The renewable energy or RPS target for California electric utilities is 20 percent & electric load by 2010.
Lodi's current level of qualified renewable energy is slightly in excess of this level; however, there
continues to be legislation introduced in California to raise this level to 33% and even 50%.
UnderAB32, the current Green House Gas or GHG target in California is for all GHG-emitting entities to
reduce emissions of GHG to 1990 levels by 2020. Regulationsto effectuate this law are under
development but will likely require the Electric Utility Department (EUD) to find ways to reduce GHG
emissions at some point in the future.
The proposed agreement to purchase energy from the Geothermal Project allocates project output to
interested NCPA members on a load ratio basis. Al I NCPA members are expected to participate except
for Biggs, Gridley, Healdsburg and Ukiah. I n this case, Lodi would have a 4.84% interest in the output of
the project which would equal 1.21 to 1.55 MW at the expected range of project performance. For
comparison purposes, Lodi's annual peak energy usage is about 150 MW.
Electricityfrom the Geothermal Project is being sold on a "take and pay" basis. That is, participating
NCPA members will receiveand pay only for energy actually producedfrom the project. The price of

energy is a flat $98 per megawatt-hourfor the entire 20 year committed delivery period underthe
agreement. While this price may appear relatively high in today's dollars, this does reflectthe current
marketfor powerwhich includes "capacity", renewable energy credits and which has positive
environmental attributes from a Greenhouse Gas perspective. The levelized present value of this energy
is about $69 per megawatt-hourassuming a four percent (4%) discount rate. This compares favorably to
"raw" wholesale electric power available today without the capacity, renewable and environmental
attributes described above. (Note that pre -commercial test energy is priced at $88 per megawatt -hour.)
A copy of the V Phase Agreementfor Western Geopower, Inc. Renewable Energy Power Purchase is
attached.
FISCAL IMPACT: EUDwill purchase electricity from the Geothermal Projectfor $98 permegawatt-
hourfollowing commercial operation of the project targeted for April 2010 and
continuing for twenty (20) years. Pre -commercial power will be priced at $88 per
megawatt -hour. Assuming a 90 percent capacityfactor, a 25 MW project rating,
and a price of $98 per megawatt -hour, the annual costs to EUD would be about
$935,000 (9,540 MWH).
FUNDING: Funding for these future costs will be through EUD's Power Supply operating
