HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - September 18, 2002 E-11 PHAGENDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for October 16, 2002 to consider Electric Rate Changes for all classes excluding Residential SHARE Program and Residential Medical Rider due to California Independent System Operator (CAISO) Charges (EUD) MEETING DATE: September 18, 2002 PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council set a public hearing for October 16, 2002 to consider Electric Rate Changes for all classes excluding Residential SHARE Program and Residential Medical Rider due to California Independent System Operator (CAISO) Charges. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi Electric Utility Department (EUD) as of September 1, 2002 entered into a new contractual arrangement with the CAISO to provide transmission and ancillary services due to the expiration of a previous agreement with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). PG&E is not interested in continuing to provide these services. The Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) under this arrangement will act as the EUD's agent. The CAISO is the only provider of these services in a reasonable manner due to its unique size and Lodi's location relative to transmission. Unfortunately, due to the monopolistic nature of these services, an increase in cost on the order of $2 million is anticipated annually. This would represent approximately a 5% increase in base rates. The proposed ordinance presented will incorporate this 5% increase into the current base rates. The increase will be distributed across all classes including contract rates in such a manner that low income residential users and medical rider participants will not be affected. FUNDING: None required. A //� aAL Alan N. Vallow Electric Utility Director PREPARED BY: Boris Prokop, Power Supply & Rates Manager ANV/BP/lst C: City Attorney Finance Director APPROVED: H.
