Service—Group 5 Commercial/Industrial—Optional in Their Entirety
MEETING DATE: January 17, 2018
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Set public hearing for March 7, 2018 to consider introducing an
ordinance amending Lodi Municipal Code Chapter 13.20 —
"Electrical Service" by repealing and reenacting Section 13.20.260 -
Schedule G3—General Service—Group 3 Commercial/Industrial,
Section 13.20.270 - Schedule G4—General Service—Group 4
Commercial/Industrial, Section 13.20.280 - Schedule G5—General
Service—Group 5 Commercial/Industrial, and Section 13.20,310 -
Schedule I1—General Service—Group 5 Commercial/Industrial—
Optional in their entirety.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) requires Lodi Electric Utility (LEU)
to meet certain power factor criteria. Power factor is the ratio of the
power that an electric device actually consumes to the power that it
draws from the supply. It shows how effectively a device utilizes electricity. An ideal device has a power
factor of 1.0 and consumes all the power that it draws.
Last year LEU was informed its power factor at the transmission grid intertie did not meet the
requirements of its PG&E Interconnection Agreement. Failure to maintain the required power factor could
result in PG&E making necessary improvements, such as the installation of capacitor banks, in order to
meet this requirement at LEU's expense. To address this problem, LEU's 2017 Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) includes the replacement of six failed system capacitor banks and installation of nine additional
units for power factor correction. In June 2017 the Council approved the purchase of these capacitor
banks for a not to exceed amount of $203,971. It is appropriate for customers contributing to the power
factor problem to offset this cost, including the installation, operation, and maintenance expenses.
The rate schedules being discussed in this public hearing are for commercial and industrial customer
classes that contain power factor adjustments as part of the billing calculation. Currently, these
customers are charged or credited when the monthly power factor is lower or higher than 0.85, which is
not consistent with the current CAISO requirements for LEU.

Staff recommends updating these rate schedules to fairly charge those customers negatively impacting
LEU's power factor in order to provide revenue to pay for the improvements needed to meet the required
CAISO standard. This will impact approximately 27 commercial and industrial customers.
Staff invited all affected customers to participate in a workshop held on November 14, 2017 to discuss
the proposed changes and associated bill impacts, as well as options for these customers to improve
their power factor, thereby reducing the financial impact to their electric bill. Representatives from 10
customer accounts were in attendance at this workshop. Based on historic actual electric bills, the
financial impact for customers with power factors below 0.97 would be 0.4 to 0.8 percent annually.
This action supports the LEU Strategic Plan as adopted by the City Council to ensure financial stability
and customer value by improving the rate structure for these schedules to better align them with cost
causation. Staff recommends these changes take effect July 1, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
The proposed changes in these rate schedules are anticipated to
provide an additional $100,000 in annual rate revenue which will be
used to pay the costs associated with the purchase, installation,
operation, and maintenance of equipment (capacitor banks) to
ensure LEU meets its contractual obligations associated with its
PG&E Interconnection Agreement.

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Lodi Municipal Code Chapter 13.20 – Electrical Service is hereby amended by
repealing and reenacting Section 13.20.260 Schedule G3—General Service—Group 3
Commercial/Industrial, 13.20.270 Schedule G4—General Service—Group 4
Commercial/Industrial, 13.20.280 Schedule G5—General Service—Group 5

Commercial/Industrial—Optional in their entirety and shall read as follows:
13.20.260 Schedule G3—General Service—Group 3 Commercial/Industrial.
A. Applicability:
This schedule shall be applied to accounts with billing period demands of between 400
kilowatts (kW) and 500 kW for three consecutive billing cycles. This schedule is not available
for service when another commercial/industrial schedule is applicable.
Demand: The billing period and peak period demands will be the maximum average
power taken during any 15 -minute interval in the billing period and peak period, respectively,
but not less than the diversified resistance welder load. In cases where the use of energy is
intermittent or subject to violent fluctuations, a 5 -minute interval may be used.
Assignment to Schedule: If, in the judgment of the City, an account is expected to have
billing period demand of 400 kW or more and less than 500 kW per billing cycle, the City has
the option of placing the account immediately on this schedule.
When an account billed on this schedule permanently changes the nature of electrical
operations to such an extent that the account would in time qualify for another rate schedule,
such billing change will be made as soon as practicable after verification of said changes. It
shall be the responsibility of the customer to notify the City of any such changes.
If billing period demand drops below 400 kW and remains there for 12 consecutive
billing cycles, the City will transfer the account to the appropriate rate schedule. If billing period
demand reaches or Exceeds 500 kW for three consecutive billing cycles, the account will be
transferred to the appropriate rate schedule.

13.20.310 SCHEDULE I1—GENERAL SERVICE—GROUP 5 COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL-
OPTIONAL.
A. APPLICABILITY:
This schedule is an optional rate for accounts who would otherwise qualify for primary
service under the G5 rate schedule with billing period demands of 1,000 kilowatts (kW) or more
for three consecutive months.
Demand: The billing period and peak period demands will be the maximum average
power taken during any 15 -minute period interval in the billing period and peak period,
respectively, but not Tess than the diversified resistance welder load. In cases where the use of
energy is intermittent or subject to violent fluctuations, a 5 -minute interval may be used.
Assignment to Schedule: Assignment to this schedule is at the option of the customer
and does not supersede any standby service contracts.
This rate schedule is prospective and not subject to rebate or retroactivity.
When a customer chooses to be assigned to this schedule, the customer elects the City
of Lodi (City) to be the sole electric power requirements provider of choice. The customer must
give the City three year written notice before the customer can elect to use another electric
power requirements provider.
When a customer has a measurable incremental permanent load increase of 200 kW or
greater, over the highest billing period demand in the previous twelve (12) months the customer
will be eligible for a ten (10) percent discount on the incremental Demand and Energy charges.
Such billing change will be made as soon as practicable after verification of said changes and is
not subject to rebate or retroactivity. It shall be the responsibility of the customer to notify the
City of any such change.
When an account billed on this schedule qualifies for another City bundled rate
schedule, the customer may elect to be billed on that other rate schedule. When a customer
chooses to be assigned to another bundled rate a three-year written notice is still required
before the customer can elect to use another electric power requirements provider.
10
If the billing period demand drops below 1,000 kW and remains there for 12 consecutive
billing cycles, the City will transfer the account to the appropriate rate schedule and the
customer will be subject to the requirements of the appropriate schedule, rather than schedule
11.
