The amount of energy to be supplied at CVP rates will vary from month-to-month, but is estimated at 25% for the calendar year 1982. Current City retail base rates were established in October 1980.

Copies of all proposed rates were presented for Councils review. It is anticipated that, when Step 2 retail rates are developed, a number of rate alternatives can be presented for Council's consideration. * Based on P.G. & E being the sole supplier of energy to the City. ** Average monthly residential consumption. *** Comparison based on P.G. & E retail rates effective January 1, 1982. ! j Council discussion followed with questions being 1 directed to Staff.
