Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set public hearing for October 20, 2010, to consider introduction of
Ordinance amending Chapter 13.20, "Electrical Service," Article III,
"Rates," to revise provisions relating to Net -Metered Energy
Generation and Co -Metered Energy Generation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On November 18,2009, the City Council received a preliminary
report and opened and continued a Public Hearing regarding
proposed rate revisions for Net -Metered Energy Generation and Co -
Metered Energy Generation. Subsequentto that date, staff learned of new provisions in California law
that required revisionsto the proposed rate ordinance.
Residential and small commercial customers generating electricitywith solar and wind facilities of 10 kW
or less are net -metered, that is, their meters deduct from their usage the amount they generate, and they
are billed on the net. Customers generating electricity with solar and wind facilities greater than 10 kW
and less than 1 MW are metered for consumption and generation separately. They pay the retail rate for
all their usage and are paid for the energy they generate at a price estimated to offset the Lodi Electric
Utility purchases avoided, not the full retail price that also pays for the distribution system and other non-
power -supply costs.
State of California Assembly Bill 920 mandates municipally owned utilities to establish a "net surplus
electricity compensation" for customers who generate surplus energy during a 12 -month period without
subsidy from other ratepayers. This affects all solar and wind installations up to 1 MW. The proposed
revisions would also clarify these installations, when EUD would keep attributes, such as renewable
energy credits and capacity credits for generation covered by these riders.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed revisions will have minorfiscal impact on EUD. Changes in revenue
will be offset by reductions in purchased power costs. EUD will recover its cost to
provide service.
FUNDING: Not applicable.
