WHEREAS, the Lodi Electric Utility Department (EUD) has conceptualized alternative
transmission projects that would increase the interconnection capacity between the electric
distribution system and the adjacent transmission system; these transmission interconnection
modifications have the potential to also reduce transmission costs paid to the California
Independent System Operator; the EUD refers to this as the Transmission Cost Containment
Project; and
WHEREAS, EUD has also developed a low-cost strategy for modifying and reinforcing
its distribution system to meet native load growth for the next five to ten years; this approach to
serving new load would postpone construction of substation banks and fully utilize the current
distribution assets; the annual work plans and construction efforts supporting this strategy are
referred to as the Distribution Capacity Program; and
WHEREAS, a Professional Services Agreement with Mike Keller Consulting, LLC will
provide support services to the Departmentfor:
The investigation of the cost and benefits of transmission interconnection
alternatives, and the presentation of those findings to EUD for decision-making
purposes; and
• The development of a distribution capacity strategy for the next ten years and a
distribution capacity work plan for the next two fiscal years.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute a six-month Professional Services Agreement with Mike
Keller Consulting, LLC, of San Jose, for transmission and distribution services with
administration by the Electric Utility Director.
