A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING REVISION IN THE MARKET
COST ADJUSTMENT (MCA) SCHEDULE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHERAS, the revision to the MCA schedule for the Home Comfort Discount (HCD)
benefits the customers who were most affected by the changes in the MCA last summer; and
WHEREAS, under this summer's HCD, those customers in the residential EA class and
the Commercial G1 and G2 classes will receive a reduced electric rate for consumption above
last summer's level of consumption; and
WHEREAS, because the Electric Utility Department (EUD) currently has a surplus in
power for the impending summer months, it wishes to make this surplus energy available to its
own customers before being sold to the electric market place; and
WHEREAS, this structure preserves a target EUD revenue level yet provides the
opportunity for customers to choose to consume efficiently above last summer's levels at a
reduced cost. The greatest benefit from this discount will accrue to customers who conserved
the most last summer; and
WHEREAS, the EUD continues to advocate efficient use of energy. The MCA and the
EUD electric rate structure communicates higher cost in the summer than in the winter for base
consumption. The EUD will continue aggressively marketing its public benefit funded demand-
side management and energy efficiency programs; and
WHEREAS, the Residential All Electric Rate (EE) MCA is adjusted in the MCA schedule
to reflect changes in PG&E's rate baselines and to competitively meet PG&E's structure.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize a revision to the Market Cost Adjustment (MCA) Schedule attached as Exhibit A.
