AGENDA TITLE: MIDWAY -SUNSET THIRD PHASE ANENT
MEETING DATE May 20, 1992
SUBMITTED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOWENDED ACTION: Approve the Midway -Sunset Third Phase Agreement and
authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the
Agreement.
B4C GRCIND INFORMATION: Midway -Sunset Cogeneration Company (MSCC) , a cogenerator,
proposes to sell 30 Mid Off -Peak energy to Northern
California Power Agency (NCPA) at Midway Substation.
This sale would consist of approximately 165,000 mWh per
year of off-peak energy fcm an existing enhanced oil recovery facility near
Bakersfield. Energy would be purchased at a fixed heat rate of 8.100 Btu/kWh and at
the cast of gas, based upon the Monthly Contract Index for natural gas at the
California border published monthly in Gas Daily." Consequently, the cost of
energy would fluctuate monthly with the cost of gas. If the agreement was in effect
today, the current estimated cost of power would be 20 mills/kWh.
MSCC's facility has a nameplate rating of 230 MW. The plant has been operating
since 1989 at an average availability factor of 97.53 percent. 6urrently MSCC sells
200 MW around the clock to Southern California Edison Company, and sells 30 MU
on -peak to PG&E.
This offer compares very favorably to the existing Non -Peak Finn Energy Purchase
Agreement NCPA has currently i n effect with PG&E, The agreement with PG&E i s
significantly more expensive (approximately 39 mills/kWh versus 20-23 mills/loth).
This differential i s expected to continue since PG&E's price i s driven by the gas
market as well. Lodi will not obtain sufficient energy pursuant to the agreement to
meet a I I of i t s energy requirements, however, the energy received w i l l be a t a cost
savings.
Lodi participation percentage in this project is 31.389%. The estimated savings
frcxm the proposed agreement for Lodi would be approximately $300,000 per year based
on estimates of the average annual cost of off-peak economy energy available to NCPA.
Termination would not occur before 1935; after that, the contract would be evergreen
with notice.
