HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - June 9, 1998'F CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Authorize the City Manager to Execute Letter of Agreement 98 -SNR -00048 between the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the Sierra Nevada Region of the Western Area Power Administration and the City of Lodi which will allow participants in the Shasta Rewinds Contract the opportunity to purchase additional low cost energy resulting from a good hydro year. MEETING DATE: June 9, 1998 SUBMITTED BY: Electric Utility Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the attached Letter of Agreement 98 -SNR -00048 between the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the Sierra Nevada Region of the Western Area Power Administration and the City of Lodi. BACKGROUND: The above LOA delays taking Shasta Unit 5 out of service. This delay will afford participants in the Shasta Rewinds Contract, such as Lodi, the opportunity to purchase additional low cost energy resulting from a good hydro year. However, to maintain the overall maintenance schedule, overtime will have to be used. The additional costs to the participants will be $250,000. The City of Lodi's share is estimated to be less than $50,000 - far smaller than the value of the energy received based on the current summer power market forecast. FUNDING: Not applicable - net positive impact. Prepared by: Jack Stone, Manager, Business Planning and Marketing ANV/JS/Ist c: City Attorney Finance Director JS.wpd A //� aa4,-- Alan N. Vallow Electric Utility Director 4 June 1 Letter of Agreement 96 -SNR -00048 City of Alameda City of Lodi Modesto Irrigation District City of Palo Alto City of Redding City of Roseville Sacramento Municipal Utility District City of Santa Clara Turlock Irrigation District To The Customers Listed Above: This Letter of Agreement 98 -SNR -00048 is made between the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the Sierra Nevada Region of the Western Area Power Administration, and those certain customers purchasing excess capacity during the 1998 season from the Sierra Nevada Region who are signatories to this agreement by June 12, 1998 (Delay Customers). This Letter of Agreement enables the Delay Customers to obtain energy and capacity not otherwise available, and provides for the Delay Customers to compensate Reclamation for the additional costs associated with a compressed maintenance schedule for Reclamation's Northern California Area Office resulting from the delay of the Shasta Unit 5 scheduled outage at the Shasta Powerplant. Shasta Unit 5 is scheduled to be taken out of service on July 6, 1998 for a 10 -month period, returning to service May 1, 1999. The Delay Customers are requesting to delay beginning work on Shasta Unit 5 until October 1, 1998 for a 9 -month period, returning to service on July 1, 1999. Delaying work on Shasta Unit 5 will allow the Siena Nevada Region to make approximately 90 MW of additional firm excess capacity available to the Delay Customers during the months of July and August 1998, and approximately 78 MW in September 1998. Letter of Agreement 98 -SNR -00048 In order for Reclamation to delay the schedule to take Shasta Unit 5 out of service on October 1, 1998, Reclamation will have to change the rewind contractor's schedule. and place Reclamation's work crew on overtime. The Delay Customers will collectively advance a total of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) as set forth in the attached Schedule of Estimated Allocation Percentages and Associated Deposit Amounts. 1. On or before June 24, 1998, Reclamation will modify the Reclamation 1998-1999 Maintenance Outage Schedule for the Central Valley Project to reflect a Shasta Unit 5 outage commencing on October 1, 1998, provided that the following have occurred on or before the dose of business of June 19, 1998: 1.1 The sum of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) has been advanced to Reclamation by the Delay Customers pursuant to Section 6 of this Letter of Agreement. 1.2 Based upon the June 15, 1998, inspection of the Shasta Unit 5 turbine, Reclamation staff have concluded that there is no need to perform a disassembly for turbine repair. 2. The Sierra Nevada Region will, upon receipt of written notification from Reclamation of the revised maintenance schedule, revise Exlubit A to the Delay Customers' agreements for excess capacity. The revised Exhibit A will reflect an increase in the allocation of film excess capacity due to the Shasta Unit 5 remaining in service and associated energy to each Delay Customer for the months of July, August, and September 1998. The increase in a Delay Customer's firm excess capacity allocation will not exceed the balance of their unmet expected peak load after adjustment for its contract rate of delivery and current allocation of firm excess capacity for the months of July, August, and September 1998. 3. Subject to Section 2 above, each Delay Customer who is a participant in the Shasta Rewinds Contract 94 -SAO -00047 will receive its proportional share, based on the percentages specified in the Shasta Rewinds Contract, of 20 MW for July, August, and September 1998 from the additional firm excess capacity available due to delaying the work on Shasta Unit 5. 4. Subject to Section 2 above, each Delay Customer will receive its proportional share of the remaining additional firm excess capacity available due to delaying the work on Shasta Unit S. The estimated additional firm excess capacity percentage amounts and deposit amounts for such additional firm excess capacity are set forth in the Schedule of Estimated Allocation Percentages and Associated Deposit Amounts attached hereto. Page 2 Letter of Agreement 98 -SNR -00048 If the Shasta Unit 5 work is delayed until October 1, 1998, and there is no agreement in place by that time to fund replacement of the turbine runners for Shasta Unit 5, then the Delay Customers understand that the turbine work now scheduled to begin July 6, 1998, must be performed during the rewind outage of Shasta Unit 5 and, therefore, Shasta Unit 5 will be scheduled to return to service on November 1, 1999, after the turbine repair and rewind work is completed. In the event there is no agreement to fund replacement of the turbine runner for Shasta Unit 5, the Delay Customers agree than 5.1 If water is being spilled at Shasta Dam due to inadequate generation capability at the Shasta Powerplant, and in the event the Sierra Nevada Region is required to acquire energy to support project dependable capacity (PDC) as prescribed in Table One of Article 12(a) of Contract 14-06-200-2948A with the Pacific Gas Sti Electric Company, then the Delay Customers shall either pay for or replace the amount of energy necessary to support PDC due to the unavailability of Shasta Unit 5 from July 1, 1999 to October 3I, 1999. The Delay Customers shall either pay for or replace up to 105 MW, proportional to the foregone energy due to the water spilled at Shasta Dam, such amount to be determined by Reclamation, under the following terms. 5.1.1 The energy for which each Delay Customer will be required to reimburse the Sierra Nevada Region, at the Siena Nevada Region's actual energy replacement cost with no additional adders included, will be based on its prorata share of excess capacity made available to the Delay Customer resulting from delaying the work at Shasta Unit 5 less any energy provided pursuant to Section 5.1.2. 5.1.2 Each Delay Customer may provide part or all of its prorata share of the energy necessary to support the PDC, under terms agreed to by the Sierra Nevada Region and consistent with the PDC support requirements of the Sierra Nevada Region, and, to the extent so providing, avoid paying for its prorata share of the energy purchased. 6.
