13.20.175 APPLICABILITY.
The sale of electric energy by the City shall be at the rates set forth in this article.
13.20.180 SCHEDULE ECA—ENERGY COST ADJUSTMENT.
A. Applicability. This schedule is applicable to all electric customers served by the City of
Lodi. Each customer shall pay the applicable rate plus an energy cost adjustment (ECA) for
each kilowatt-hour (kWh) delivered to the customer. The adjustment shall be the product of the
total kilowatt-hours (kWh) for which the bill is rendered times the ECA amount per kWh.
The purpose of the ECA is to adjust for increases/decreases to the City of Lodi's
wholesale energy costs. This adjustment provides a mechanism to recover increased costs for
wholesale energy or to lower collections when costs decrease below the base charge level.
B. Rates:
Effective July 6, 2007, the ECA billing factor for any given month shall be calculated as follows:
Where:
ECA= (a) + (b) - (c)(d+f) - (f)
(e)
a. equals the amount the City of Lodi is actually charged by the Northern California
Power Agency for the billing month, including adjustments for prior billing
periods, less any third party revenue credits.
b equals the City of Lodi's estimated costs related to the acquisition of wholesale
power, both financial and physical, procured directly by the city for the billing
month, including adjustments for prior billing periods.
c_ equals the difference between actual retail energy sales and projected sales
levels for the month which is two months prior to the billing month.
d. equals the ECA billing factor for the month which is two months prior to the
billing month.
e. equals the forecast of projected retail energy sales for the billing month.
equals the baseline energy cost for the city of $0.0831.
The City of Lodi will recalculate the ECA each month, and resulting amount shall be
automatically implemented for bills rendered during the following billing month. The ECA shall
not be discounted.
SCHEDULE 1-1 FIXED ECA OPTION:
Customers must elect this option prior to the start of the twelve-month cycle (July -June)
and must be billed for the entire twelve months under this option. Customers may opt out in the
May prior to the next twelve-month billing period.
The City of Lodi will calculate a fixed ECA based on projected sales divided by the
budgeted NCPA all resource bill for the upcoming twelve-month period (July -June) minus eight
point three one (8.31) cents. The resulting amount shall be automatically implemented for bills
rendered during the eleven billing months beginning in July and ending in May. The June billing
shall include a true -up for the actual ECA billed in the same eleven -month period and the actual
ECA for the month of June.

A. Purpose. The purpose of this rider is to establish rates, terms, and conditions for
providing net metering services to customers generating electricity using solar and wind
facilities of one MW or less in size. This rider complies with California State legislation requiring
every electric utility in the state, including municipally -owned utilities, to develop a standard
contract or tariff providing for net energy metering, as defined below.
B. Applicability. This schedule is applicable to service for customers where a part or all of
the electrical requirements of the customer can be supplied from a solar or wind power
production source owned and operated by the customer (customer -generated). Availability of
this schedule to eligible customer -generators will be on a first-come, first-served basis and will
be available until such time the total rated generating capacity used by eligible customer -
generators equals five percent of the City of Lodi aggregate customer annual peak demand.
The solar or wind generation source must: 1) have a capacity of one MW or less, 2) be
located on the customer -generator's premises, 3) be connected for parallel operation with Lodi's
distribution facilities, and 4) be intended for the sole purpose of offsetting a part or all of the
customer -generator's own electrical requirements. In no case shall the power or energy
generated by the customer -owned solar or wind source be available for resale, except as
specified under this rider.
Additional terms and conditions for service, including terms of interconnection and
parallel operation, are specified in a customer -specific Electrical Interconnection and Net
Energy Metering Payment Agreement.
C. Rates. Charges for electricity supplied by the city will be based on metered usage in
accordance with special conditions (D)(3) and (5) below. Rates charged under this schedule will
be in accordance with the eligible customer -generator's otherwise applicable rate schedule.
Public benefit charges and monthly customer charges shall not be by -passable.
D. Special Conditions.
Other Agreements. A signed electrical interconnection and net metering payment
agreement between the customer -generator and the city is required for service
under this schedule.
2. Metering Equipment. Net energy metering shall be accomplished using a single
meter capable of registering the flow of electricity in two directions. If customer's
existing electrical meter is not capable of measuring the flow of electricity in two
directions, the customer -generator shall be responsible for all expenses involved
in purchasing and installing a meter that is capable of measuring electricity in
both directions.
Co -energy metering customers transferred to net metering pursuant to Section
13.20.227 of this code, may remain on the dual meter system. Net energy
metering customers, at their election may opt for the dual meter system.
3. Net Energy Metering and Billing. Net energy is defined as measuring the
difference between the electricity supplied by the city through the electric grid to
the eligible customer -generator and electricity generated by an eligible customer -
generator and fed back into the electric grid over a twelve-month period.
In the event that the electricity supplied by the city during the twelve-month
period exceeds the electricity generated by the eligible customer -generator
during the same period, the eligible customer is a net electricity consumer and
the city shall bill the customer for the net consumption during the twelve-month
period based on the retail price per kilowatt-hour for eligible customer -
generator's rate class over the same period.
The city shall provide the customer -generator with net electricity consumption
information on each regular bill. That information shall include the current
amount owed to the city for the net electricity consumed. Customer -generator
may exercise the option to pay monthly for the net energy consumed, but in any
event shall be responsible for any payments due at the end of each twelve-
month period.
4. Attributes. Any capacity attributes or environmental attributes associated with the
renewable energy produced by the customer -generator at sites subject to this
schedule shall belong to the city with the sole exception of renewable energy
credits for solar and wind generation up to the amount of on-site consumption.
Capacity attributes include, but are not limited to, system resource adequacy
capacity and local resource adequacy capacity, if any. Environmental attributes
include, but are not limited to, renewable portfolio standard recognition,
renewable energy credits, greenhouse gas credits, and emission reduction
credits, if any.
5. Excess Energy. Net energy metering will be administered on an annualized
basis, beginning with the month of interconnection of the customer's generating
system with the city's electrical system. Electric solar and wind generation
production may result in a dollar credit carrying forward to the next billing period.
If a credit accumulation results in a net customer -owned generation credit at the
end of the annualized year, unused dollar credits will be set to zero and not be
carried into the new annualized year unless the customer -generator affirmatively
elects to be paid for such excess. If the customer -generator so elects, the city
shall either pay the customer -generator or credit the customer generator's
account for such excess at the baseline energy cost rate specified in Schedule
ECA plus the energy cost adjustment rate averaged for the billing periods with
excess generation.
6. Rules and Regulations. Other conditions specified in the City of Lodi electric
utility department's rules, regulations and engineering standards shall apply to
this electric rate schedule.

premises, and intended for the purpose of offsetting a part or all of the customer -generator's
own electrical requirements. In no case shall the energy, capacity, and/or other attributes be
available for resale by the customer.
This schedule is available only to customers who do not otherwise qualify for compensation for
customer -owned generation under another LEU rate schedule or contract.
RATES:
Enerav Charaes:
Customer will be billed for all usage at the applicable service rate in effect when the electric
service was rendered in accordance with the eligible customer -generator's otherwise applicable
rate schedule based on metered usage for energy delivered and received after the customer -
generator serves its own instantaneous load.
Energy Purchase Credit:
Credit will be provided to the customer for all metered customer -generated energy that exceeds
the energy consumed, and is therefore exported to LEU's distribution system, at a rate equal to
the avoided cost to LEU; the specific value of which will be determined and updated annually by
LEU based on the following components: avoided energy and transmission costs,
environmental attribute value (if applicable, based on generation type), avoided system loss,
and avoided capacity value.
Energy Purchase Credit values will be published each year by June 1 on LEU's website and
provided to customers receiving service under this schedule.
23
The above charges and credits will be determined in accordance with LEU's metering
specifications. LEU reserves the right to install additional metering equipment for statistical
and/or billing purposes.
BILLING:
For each billing month, the customer shall receive a bill including all applicable Energy Charges,
including, but not limited to, customer charges, energy charges, demand charges, and any
surcharges, taxes, and/or discounts in accordance with their otherwise applicable rate
schedule. The bill will also include all applicable Energy Purchase Credits which shall be used
to offset the Energy Charges in a given billing month. Any credit(s) remaining at the end of each
billing month shall carry forward and be applied to the customer's next monthly electric bill. Any
outstanding charges will be due and payable at the end of each billing month. Monthly customer
charges, public benefit charges, and all other surcharges shall be non -bypassable.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
Other conditions shall apply to this schedule as specified in the City of Lodi Electric Utility
Department's Rules and Regulations, as updated from time to time, and Engineering Standards
and Specifications (including metering requirements) which are available for review on LEU's
website.
Customers will be responsible for any and all metering and interconnection charges as required
to provide service under this schedule. Said charges will be determined and updated annually
by LEU and be based on the cost(s) associated with providing service under this schedule. A
schedule of charges will be available on LEU's website.
Any capacity or environmental attributes associated, now or in the future, with the credited
excess energy produced by the customer -generator at sites subject to this schedule shall
belong to the City. Capacity attributes include, but are not limited to, system, local, and/or
flexible resource adequacy capacity, if any. Environmental attributes include, but are not limited
to, Renewables Portfolio Standard eligible resources, renewable energy credits, greenhouse
gas credits, and/or emission reduction credits, if any.
LEU reserves the right to require a contract should it determine the customer -owned generator
does not otherwise meet the specified applicability requirements to qualify under this schedule
or another LEU rate schedule.
Customers currently taking service under Schedule NEM shall continue to be billed in
accordance with Schedule NEM for 20 years from the date of interconnection of their existing
customer -owned generation facility, after which time they will be given the option to take service
under this Schedule EP in order to continue to receive credit for their customer -owned
generation.

with a combined nameplate rating greater than one megawatt (1 MW) on their premises and
where the city must stand ready to supply electric service to replace such a facility. This
schedule will apply in addition to any other schedule applicable to the customer of record; any
multiple generation facilities for one customer of record will be under one contract.
24
B. Service by Contract:
Service under this schedule shall be provided on a contract basis to
commercial/industrial customers who have privately- owned generating facilities on their
premises. Contracts shall be subject to terms approved by the city council and shall obligate the
customer to pay the city for its costs associated with providing standby service for the actual life
of the privately -owned generating facilities and for three months following written notice to the
City of Lodi Electric Utility of the removal of the privately -owned generating facilities from
operation.
13.20.310 SCHEDULE 11—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 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: 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.
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.
