AGENDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for July 17, 2013 to Consider Amending the Standby Service
Rate
MEETING DATE: June 19, 2013
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set a Public Hearing for July 17, 2013 to consider amending the
Standby Service Rate.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In an effort to update the current Standby Service (SS) Rate
Schedule available to commercial and industrial customers, staff is
proposing to simplify this tariff by eliminating specific rates and
increasing the size of privately -owned generating facilities from a generating capacity of 100 kilowatts
(kW) or greater, to 1 megawatt (MW) or greater.
This revision to the SS tariff more closely aligns the intent of a standby service tariff, which is typically
designed to address large, privately -owned generating facilities. It should also be noted, in light of
recently installed commercial and industrial customers photovoltaic systems (several in excess of 100
W), but less than 1 MW, staff also feels that this is the appropriate time to adjust this element of the SS
tariff.
In addition, staff's proposal to eliminate specific rates in the tariff, and instead require that any privately -
owned generating facility, greater than 1 MW, be addressed through a City Council -approved standby
service agreement provides for current economic conditions for both energy and demand charges. Note:
in the current SS tariff, the "contract" or agreement provision does exist, but has not been utilized or
enforced.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact is unknown at this time, and will be dependent upon the total
number of privately -owned generating facilities installed that are greater than 1
MW.
FUNDING: Not applicable.
