WHEREAS, energy efficiency programs have been delivered by large and small utilities
since the late 1980s and successful programs regularly assess energy efficient products and
services to meet changing demand; and

$0.15 per kilowatt hour, not to exceed $27,500 per project, and not to exceed fifty percent
(50%) of total project costs; and
WHEREAS, energy efficiency best practices include regularly assessing multiple
customer needs and stakeholder perspectives ensuring the programs deliver products and
services which optimize customer operations and budgets; and
WHEREAS, Lodi Electric Utility has surveyed other municipal utilities' rebates to
commercial customers and has determined these municipal utilities have increased the
monetary caps of customized energy efficiency rebates, and the percent of total project costs to
be reimbursed; and
WHEREAS, Lodi Electric Utility staff seeks to increase the participation of its
commercial customers in the customized energy efficiency program by offering the most cost-
effective opportunities for efficiency programming.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
