COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Northern California PowerAgency (NCPA) Green Power Project (NGPP) 3rd Phase Agreement to Add City of Gridley (EUD) MEETING DATE: August 4,2010 PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an Amendmentto the Northern California PowerAgency (NCPA) Green Power Project (NGPP) 3rd Phase Agreement to add City of Gridley. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The NCPA Green Power Project (NGPP) is governed by an agreement among NCPA and participating NCPA Members. NGPP attempts to locate power purchase agreements and other arrangements to provide renewable energy supplies to NGPP participants. The City of Gridley wishes to participate in the NGPP. Adding Gridley would require approval of each existing NGPP participant, including Lodi. While the Lodi Electric Utility is a participant, we do not yet receive any renewable energy from this program. We are, however, participating in studies that may lead to future renewable resources. FISCAL IMPACT: Indeterminate.Addition of Gridley at 0,389 percent of the NGPP would reduce Lodi's share of costs and opportunities from the existing 7.813 percent down to 7.782 percent in certain NGPP activities.
