I. INTRODUCTION
On March 31, 1982, Southern California Edison Company
(Edison) tendered for filing with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) in Docket No. ER82 -427 a
proposed two —step increase in its wholesale rates for
service to Vernon and seven other wholesale customers. The
step one rates provide for an increase in jurisdictional
revenues of approximately $38.5 million (15.8 %) for the
twelve month test period ending August 31, 1983. The step
two rates would result in an additional increase in revenues
above the step one rates of approximately $22 million
(7.7 %). Edison requested effective dates for the step one
and step two rates of June 1, 1982, and June 2, 1982,
respectively. Edison stated that while it believed no
suspension of its step two rates is warranted, Edison would
not object to an effective date of the earlier of the
in— service date of its San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station
Unit No. 2 (SONGS 2) (anticipated to be August 15, 1982) or
five months after the June 2 proposed effective date, i.e.,
November 2, 1982.
By its order issued May 28, 1982 the FERC suspended the
Step 1 increase for one day and allowed it to become
effective, subject to refund, on June 2, 1982. The FERC
suspended the Step 2 increase to the earlier of November 2,
1982 or the in- service date of SONGS 2. Both Step 1 and
Step 2 rates are subject to ultimate refund pending FERC
action on the merits of the proposed increases.
While Vernon and the other wholesale customers have
vigorously protested the proposed increase, and while such
rates may ultimately be reduced and some refunds required,
Vernon's cost of purchases have increased dramatically with
the Step 1 increase effective June 2, and will increase
again when Edison's Step 2 increase becomes effective.
These rate increases result in increases in both the demand
and energy components of Edison's rates under which Vernon
is billed.
Sheets 2, 3, and 4 of Exhibit B show the calculation of
Vernon's cost of purchases from Edison under existing rates,
Step 1 rates and Step 2 rates, respectively. The following
table shows the increases in demand costs to Vernon under
the Step 1 and Step 2 increases:
Demand Cost
to Vernon
(000's)
Step 1
Increased Rates $18,297
Existing Rates , 13,557
Increase $ 4,740
Step 2
$23,346
13,557
$ 9,789
The proposed Step 1 and Step 2 rate increases will
thus almost double the demand cost component of
Vernon's purchases from Edison. In addition, the cost
of energy will increase b
y $7.8 million, or by almost
as much as the demand cost.
The Step 1 increase in the demand component of
Vernon's purchases from Edison will amount to
approximately $4.7 million per year, assuming the same
billing demands experienced during the year ending
March 31, 1982, while the Step 2 increase will amount
to another $5.1 million per year for a total increase
in the demand component of Vernon's purchases from
Edison of $9.8 million per year.
The increases in the energy component of the rates
are routinely reflected in Vernon's Energy Clause
Adjustment Billing Factor ( ECABF) which is changed
every three months. The increases in Edison's demand
charges, however, are not reflected in the ECABF, and
Vernon must therefore increase its base rates to
recover these increased costs.
This report contains the following recommendations
for the adjustments of Vernon's rates to allow Vernon
to recover its cost of service, including the increased
cost of purchases from Edison, in a fair and equitable
manner: (1) design rates to become effective
September 1, 1982 to recover Vernon's costs, including
the cost of purchased power and energy under Edison's
Step 1 rates, as allocated among the various classes of
service; (2) provide for a surcharge to recover the
increase in the cost of purchases under Step 2 rates,
to become effective on September 1, 1982 or when SONGS
2.is placed in service, whichever is later; and, (3)
provide for a method of reimbursing Vernon for the
increases in the demand costs of its purchases from
Edison prior to September 1, 1982, when Vernon's
-4-
increased rates are to become effective.
II. ADEQUACY OF REVENUES UNDER PRESENT RATES
Vernon's revenues under its existing rates are
approximately equal to its revenue requirements, including
its operating costs and cost of purchases from Edison, as
shown in Exhibit A. Column B of Exhibit A shows Vernon's
monthly revenues for the twelve month period April 1981
through March 1982. Column C shows Vernon's cost of
purchases from Edison during this period, and Column D shows
the excess of Vernon's revenues over its cost of purchases
from Edison. As shown on Line 13, Column D, Vernon's
revenues for the year exceeded its cost of purchases from
Edison by approximately $6.9 million. During this period,
however, Vernon over - collected under its Energy Cost
Adjustment Clause by $1.2 million which will result in
decreased revenues to Vernon in subsequent months. The net
excess of Vernon's revenues over its cost for this period
was thus $5.7. Vernon's annual costs in excess of the cost
of purchases from Edison, projected in the May 28, 1981
report, including the in -lieu payment of $2.16 million, was
$5.5 million. Vernon's net revenues thus exceed its
projected costs by less than $200,000. This comparison is
set forth in the following table:
Amount
(000's)
Revenues $71,096
Increase in ECAC Reserve <1,162>
Net Revenues $69,934
Cost of Purchases from Edison
Difference
Vernon's Projected Costs
Excess
64,200
$ 5,734
5,546
$ 188
The rates which Vernon has had in effect for the year
ending March 31, 1982 have thus been properly designed to
allow Vernon to recover its cost of rendering electric
service.
III. REVENUE REQUIREMENTS
The City of Vernon has certain revenue requirements
(cost of service) associated with the rendering of
electrical service to its customers. These revenue
requirements are made up of the cost of purchases from
Edison, the cost of operations under the operating agreement
with Edison, other miscellaneous costs, depreciation of the
electrical facilities used to provide the service, and
return (or interest) on the investment in the electrical
facilities owned by Vernon. A breakdown of Vernon's annual
revenue requirements including the cost of purchases from
Edison under the filed rates (without giving effect to the
fuel clause adjustment) is shown on Sheet 1 of Exhibit B for
the year ended January 31, 1982. Vernon's annual revenue
requirements as estimated for the future with Edison's
Step 1 rate increase in effect is shown in Column C of this
schedule. The cost of purchases from Edison are projected
to increase from $66.0 million per year to $78.5 million per
year assuming the Step 1 rates are to remain in effect for
the entire year. Under the Step 1 rates, the cost of
purchases from Edison of $78.5 million will thus amount to
approximately 95 percent of Vernon's total revenue
requirements of $82.5 million. When the additional Step 2
increase of $5 million becomes effective, on or before
November 2, 1982 to partially reflect SONGS 2, the cost of
purchases from Edison will amount to 95.4 percent of
Vernon's total revenue requirements.
The projected costs of power and energy (purchases from
Edison) under the Step 1 rates are set forth on Line 1,
Column C of Exhibit B, Sheet 1. This projection is based
upon the assumptions: (1) that purchases from Edison during
the year ending March 31, 1983 will be the same as the
-7-
actual purchases during the projected year, as adjusted to
reflect the projected on —peak demand of the Special Contract
Customers; and, -(2) the Step 1 rates will be in effect
throughout the projected year. The calculation of the cost
of purchases from Edison under these assumptions is set
forth on Sheet 3 of Exhibit B.
The computations of the cost of purchases from Edison
under existing rates, under Step 1 rates and under Step 2
rates are set forth in Sheets 2, 3, and 4, respectively of
Exhibit B. The purchases from Edison are set equal to
actual purchases during the year ending March 31, 1982, as
adjusted downward to reflect reductions in the on —peak
demands of the Special Contract Customers.
Line 2, Column C of Exhibit B, Sheet 1 shows the
projected cost of contractual services including consulting
engineering, special accounting, engineering, and legal
counsel of $425,000. Line 3 shows miscellaneous costs of
$116,000 for services of City personnel and supplies and
expenses. Line 4 shows the projected cost of $2,500,000
payable to Edison for operating Vernon's system pursuant of
its Operating Agreement. Line 5 shows a projection of
depreciation of City's electrical facilities of $400,000.
Line 6 shows an allowance for return on net investment in
electric plant of $536,000. This allowance for return was
computed by applying a rate of return of 11.20 percent,
based upon Edison's cost of capital, to Vernon's gross plant
less accumulated depreciation. Edison's cost of capital was
used because Vernon's experience with financing is too
limited to use as a measure of the cost of capital. A more
appropriate measure of the cost of capital is the
requirements of a private utility that makes frequent
transactions in the bond and stock markets. Edison is, in
this instance, an appropriate model upon which to base
Vernon's cost of capital. The return component was thus
computed at a rate of 11.20 percent which is the rate of
return allowed by the California Public Utilities Commission
in Edison's retail case by Decision No. 92549 issued
December 30, 1980 in Edison's Application No. 59351.
As shown on Line 7 of this Exhibit the annual revenue
requirements of the City of Vernon from its electrical
system are approximately $82.5 million under Edison's Step 1
rates. The revenues at existing rates (including the ECABF
charges) as shown on Exhibit A amount to approximately $69.9
million resulting in a revenue deficiency of approximately
$12.6 million, or 15.3 percent. This deficiency, of course,
is based upon a projection of future increases in costs.
The existing rates, including the Energy Cost Adjustment
Clause, are adequate to recover existing costs.
IV. RATES FOR SPECIAL CONTRACT CUSTOMERS
Because of the nature of their requirements, Bethlehem
Steel Corporation (Bethlehem), Byron Jackson Pump Division,
Borg - Warner Corporation (Byron Jackson), and Steel Casting
Company (Steel Casting) have entered into special contracts
with Vernon. Byron Jackson has two accounts with Vernon;
Kinetic and Bee Jay. These special contracts arise from the
nature of Schedule TOU -R under which Vernon purchases from
Edison. Under the terms of this rate schedule, Vernon pays
a demand charge based upon the maximum level of its
purchases during a designated "on -peak" period of time. By
arranging their operations so as to minimize their takes
during Edison's pre - designated "on -peak" period, while
operating freely during the pre- designated "off -peak"
period, these customers enable Vernon to realize significant
savings in the demand component of the cost of purchased
power. The rates included in these special contracts are
designed to pass along to the customers the savings to
Vernon resulting from their revised operations. The
following table shows the "on -peak" and "off - peak" demands
assumed for these customers in the design of their
respective rates:
Bethlehem
Bee Jay
Kinetic
Steel Casting
Demand in kW
On -Peak Off -Peak
Demand Demand
6,000
850
60,000
8,000
18,000
4,000
The on -peak demands are included in the existing
contracts and the off -peak demands have been added to the
new contracts.
Exhibit C, Sheet 1 shows the design of the monthly
charges for these Special Contract Customers. The table
below shows a comparison of the new rates with the existing
rates for these customers:
M onthly Charges
New Existing Monthly
Rates
Rates Increase
Bethlehem $135,000 $136,000 $ <1,000>
Bee Jay 13,680 12,000 1,680
Kinetic 30,780 28,000 2,780
Steel Casting 12,240 12,222 18
As shown on Sheet 1 of Exhibit C, Bethlehem and Steel
Casting have retained the right to take a small amount of
power during the on -peak period, while Bee Jay and Kinetic
are operating entirely off -peak. Bethlehem gets a decrease
in the new rates because we have reflected their actual
demands on Vernon during the on -peak period rather than the
contract amount. The cost of this on -peak power to
Bethlehem and Bee Jay has been computed, not on the basis of
Edison on -peak demand rates, but on the basis of Vernon's
demand costs divided by the total billing demands of
Vernon's customers. Because of diversity the sum of the
billing demands of Vernon's customers is greater than the
billing demands that Vernon establishes with Edison. The
average on —peak demand cost assessed against Bethlehem and
Steel Casting is thus only $6.357 per kW per month, which is
considerably less than Edison's demand rate, of
approximately $9.20 per month. This practice can be
justified, however, only if these customers contribute
diversity to the system (by taking less than their contract
demands at the time Vernon establishes its billing demand
with Edison. In the future, only the customers who actually
contribute diversity to the system will receive the benefit
of this diversified (lower) on —peak demand charge. The on—
peak demand charge of the other Special Contract Customers
will be based upon Edison's demand rates, because these
rates reflect the cost to Vernon of serving these customers.
As shown on Exhibit C, Sheet 1, Line 1, Column C,
Bethlehem's demands during the on —peak period has been
averaging 5,095 kW. We have used this value to compute
Bethlehem's monthly charge rather than the contract amount
of 6,000 kW. We have used Steel Casting's on —peak contract
amount in computing the monthly charge because we have no
reason to believe that they will not establish billing
demands at this level.
The energy cost to be included in the special contracts
is computed on Sheet u of Exhibit C. The monthly charges to
these Special Contract Customers have been designed to
recover all of the fixed costs allocable to such customers
because the energy charge has been designed to recover the
cost of energy and associated losses only.
V. ALLOCATION OF REVENUE REQUIREMENTS
Exhibit D, Sheet 1 shows an allocation of the demand
and energy components of the system's revenue requirements
among the various classes of service. This allocation of
system revenue requirements among the various customer
classes was made in the following manner. The total revenue
requirements of $82,460,000 as set forth on Exhibit B, Sheet
1 were classified as demand or energy. As shown on Sheet 2
of Exhibit D, the energy cost of purchases from Edison were
classified to the energy component. All other costs were
classified to the demand component. Miscellaneous revenues
($25,000), demand costs associated with service to the
Special Contract Customers and revenues from service to
LS -1, LS -2, and OL -1 customers were then deducted from the
classified cost of service. Revenues from the lighting
class of customers were deducted from the cost of service,
rather than allocating costs to such customers because, as
explained in the Rate Design Section, we have determined
that it is appropriate to base the rates for these Schedules
upon Edison's retail rates rather than upon allocated costs.
The remaining classified costs were then allocated as set
forth on Sheet 1 of Exhibit D. The cost of energy purchased
from Edison as shown in Column C was allocated between
classes of service on the basis of kWh sales to each class,
respectively, as adjusted for losses. The development of
the allocation factors including the adjustment for losses
is shown on Sheet 3 of Exhibit C. For purposes of this
adjustment, it was assumed that some of the customers
purchase from secondary lines, some purchase from primary
lines, some purchase from distribution lines, and some
purchase from transmission lines. Inasmuch as there are
losses at each step along the way, the percent loss
responsibility varies depending upon the voltage level of
service. Therefore, Sheet 3 of Exhibit C shows an estimate
of the total kWh responsibility of each class of service
assuming losses to a common point; the transmission system.
The other costs, including demand costs associated with
purchases from Edison, Power Factor Adjustments and Voltage
Discounts, were allocated on the basis of the billing
demands of the respective classes, again at the transmission
level voltage.
Billing demands were used for this purpose
because this is the best information available for this
purpose. It would be preferable to allocate such costs on
the basis of coincident peak demands, but such data is not
available. In some instances, billing demands were not
recorded, but were imputed. Billing demands for Schedule
No. D and Schedule Nos. GS -1 and TC -1 were imputed on the
basis of 25 percent load factor purchases while billing
-15-
demands for Schedule No. PA -1 were imputed on the basis of
50 percent load factor purchases.
-16-
VI. PROPOSED CHANGES IN RATE SCHEDULE STRUCTURE
1. Char es for the Installation of Excess Ca.acity -
Provisions have been added to Schedule Nos. A -8, A -7,
and GS -2 to require that customers purchasing under such
schedules who ask for service facilities having capacities
in excess of their billing demands pay an additional charge
to cover the cost of these facilities. Examples of these
provisions are set forth in Exhibit E, Sheet 1. They are to
be contained in Special Conditions 11, 12, and 13 of
Schedule No. A -8, Special Conditions 10, 11, and 12 of
Schedule No. A -7 and Special Conditions 7, 8, and 9 of
Schedule No. GS -2, and are entitled "Contract Demand ",
"Minimum Demand Charge ", and "Excess Transformer Capacity ",
respectively. These provisions are identical to provisions
contained in the existing Edison Tariff for comparable
service.
2. The Inclusion of Contract Demands in Rate Schedules -
Consistent with the above provisions, contract demands
have been included in the Special Contracts to establish the
maximum kW of entitlements by these customers during the
off -peak periods. These contract demands are set forth in
the table below:
Maximum
Demands
(kW)
Bethlehem 60,000
Kinetic 18,000
Bee Jay 8,000
Steel Casting 4,000
3. Pa ment In -Lieu of Franchise Fees -
This report recommends a change in the method of
including a payment to the city in lieu of a franchise fee.
Edison has traditionally made franchise fee payments to the
cities in which they render service at retail, and has
included these payments in their retail rates. In similar
fashion, Vernon has traditionally made payments from its
electric utility operations to its general fund as an
in -lieu franchise fee. This payment has been set at 3
percent and has been built into Vernon's rates and charges.
This report proposes, however, that, rather than build
the in -lieu payment into the rate, an increment be added to
revenues otherwise payable under the rates filed to provide
for the in -lieu franchise fee. The increment to be added to
the revenues under the filed rate to allow for the in -lieu
payment is .03 x revenues at the filed rate. We recognize
that the use of a 3 percent surcharge on the filed rates
will not allow the city to realize a 3 percent tax on total
revenues. To collect 3 percent on total revenues, a
tax -on -tax factor would have to be added to the 3 percent
surcharge.
The provision to be included in all of the filed rate
schedules to provide for the in -lieu payment is included in
Exhibit E, Sheet 2. Note the following:
-19-
a. This provision does not apply to the Special
Contract Customers because the in -lieu payment has
been built into their rates; and,
b. Because the tax factor is to be applied to the
actual revenues under the filed rates, it is no
longer necessary to adjust the ECABF to reflect the
in -lieu payments. The ECABF has been adjusted
accordingly.
4. Deferred Account to Recover Edison's Increases Prior
to
Vernon's Increases -
Edison's Step 1 rate increase became effective on
June 2, 1982 and Edison's Step 2 rates may become effective
prior to the September 1, 1982 effective date of Vernon's
increased rates. Vernon will thus begin paying Edison the
increased rates prior to the time it can recover the
increased costs from its customers. In order to make Vernon
whole without imposing a burden on its customers, it is
proposed that such undercollections, along with associated
interest, be deducted from any refunds received from Edison
arising from such Step 1 and Step 2 increases. The
procedure for retaining such refunds is set forth in
Exhibit E, Sheet 3.
VII. EDISON RATES
The regulatory methodology of the FERC, which
establishes the rates under which Vernon purchases from
Edison, differs markedly froom the regulatory methodology of
the CPUC, which establishes the rates which Edison's retail
customers purchase under. The FERC, for instance, will
allow rate increases to become effective without serious
examination soon after they are filed but will subsequently
require the refunding of the portion of the proposed
increase that is subsequently found to be excessive. The
CPUC, however, must investigate the rates prior to their
effectiveness. If a comparison were made of Edison's retail
rates with Vernon's rates, one must take into consideration
that Vernon may receive refunds that will be flowed- through
to its customers. Other major differences exist with
respect to the form of Edison's wholesale and retail rates,
both of which are now undergoing major changes in form. The
uncertainity as to the level and form of rates that will
subsequently be allowed makes it difficult, and in some
instances impossible, for Vernon to design rates for its
customers that are comparable to Edison's rates. These
problems are discussed below.
-22-
1. Edison's Existing Retail Rates —
The rates at which Edison bills its retail customers
are composites of several components. The first is the base
rate under which Edison recovers its projected fixed costs.
These base rates are established in general rate cases which
Edison may file only once every two years. Edison recovers
its projected fixed costs associated with return on
investment, depreciation, income taxes, other taxes, and
operating expenses under its base rates. Next is the Energy
Cost Adjustment Clause (ECAC) under which Edison may file
three times a year; January 1, May 1, and September 1.
Edison recovers 98 percent of its cost of energy under the
ECAC. The other 2 percent of the cost of energy, along with
miscellaneous costs associated mostly with fuel oil
inventory, is recovered under the annual energy rate (AER).
The other component presently included in Edison's rates is
the Conservation Load Management Adjustment Clause (CLMAC).
When SONGS 2 is placed into service, now projected to
be August 15, 1982, Edison will include two additional
components in its rates: (a) The Major Additions Adjustment
Billing Factor (MAABF) under the Major Additions Adjustment
Clause (MAAC) to recover the costs of SONGS 2 that cannot be
projected with reasonable accuracy; and, (b) an Annual Major
Additions Rate (AMAR) designed to recover the SONGS 2 costs
that can be projected with reasonable accuracy. These
various components of Edison's rates are discussed more
fully below, with reference to Exhibit F.
Sheet 1 of Exhibit F shows the composite Edison retail
rates for Schedule Nos. TOU -8, A -7, GS -2, GS -1, PA -1, and
PA -2 that were effective as of May 4, 1982 and as requested
to become effective on or after August 15, 1982 to reflect
the costs of SONGS 2. Column A shows the rate schedules and
the functional components of the rates (demand, energy, and
customer components). Columns B -I show the levels of the
various increments of the functional components of the
rates.
Column B shows the base rates that became effective on
January 1, 1981 pursuant to the CPUC Decision No. 92549
issued December 30, 1980 in Edison's Application No. 59351.
In this application Edison had requested increased rates
amounting to $340 million, excluding the costs of SONGS 2,
which was then projected to be placed in service by July 1,
1981. The costs associated with SONGS 2 were to be
recovered by another filing. The Commission's Decision No.
92549 allowed Edison an increase of $294.2 million effective
January 1, 1981 and a further increase of $91.9 million to
be effective January 1, 1982, to offset the affects of
attrition.
As will be explained in more detail later, these
base rates will be superseded on January 1, 1983 by rates to
be established in a Commission order in Edison's Application
No. 61138 for a $1.25 billion increase in its retail rates.
-24-
(Note that the rates to be established in this proceeding
will not reflect the costs of SONGS 2 and 3. These costs
are to be established in Application No. 82 -02 -4O and will
be additive to the base rates).
The rate levels set forth in Column B are designed to
recover Edison's fixed costs associated with generation,
transmission, and distribution. These costs include return
on investment, depreciation, income taxes, other taxes, and
operation and maintenance (0 &M) expenses.
The levels of the functional components of Schedule
TOU -8 are shown on Lines 1 - 8. Edison has established a
base rate demand charge of $5.05 per kW per month for the kW
of demand purchased under this schedule during the on -peak
period. In addition, Edison has established a base rate
demand charge for the mid -peak period of $.65. The customer
charge of $560 per month has been established on the basis
that customers taking as little as 500 kW per month must
purchase under Schedule No. TOU -8. Edison has established
energy charges for the on -peak period, the mid -peak period,
and the off -peak period. The differences in the cents per
kWh charges for energy purchased in these periods are based
upon the differences in the incremental costs of generation
and transmission during such periods. In its most recent
retail filing, Edison has made a change from its existing
retail rate design that apparently has no practical effect,
but better reflects the theoretical support for
differentials between the on -peak, mid -peak, and off -peak
energy charges. Edison has proposed a uniform level for the
base rate energy component in its Schedule No. TOU -8 but has
provided, instead, that the ECABF reflect differences in
costs between the on -peak, mid -peak, and off -peak energy.
These rates are to be effective on January 1, 1983 pursuant
to Edison's filing in Application No. 61138, as discussed
below.
Column C shows the Energy Cost Adjustment Billing
FActor (ECABF) to be 4.2860 /kWh to be added to the base
energy rate of all rate schedules. This ECABF was
established by the CPUC's interim opinion issued as Decision
No. 82 -04 -119 on April 28, 1982 in Application No. 82- 03 -04.
Edison had proposed a rate stabilization plan in that
application under which the large savings resulting from
purchases of large amounts of hydro -power during the early
part of 1982 be used to offset the increased costs
associated with SONGS 2 through 1983. This rate
stabilization proposal was to be in -lieu of immediate
flow - through of these savings through the ECABF and
subsequent rate increases to reflect SONGS 2 costs. The
Commission declined to adopt Edison's Rate Stabilization
Plan in total, but did not require the immediate large
reductions in the ECABF. Instead, it provided for somewhat
smaller ECABF reductions (from 5.3900 /kWh to 4.2864 /kWh)
that would remain in effect throughout the remainder of
1982. (ECABF filings are normally to be made so as to
become effective three times a year; January 1, May 1, and
September 1).
Column D shows the Annual Energy Rate (AER) of
.2366 /kWh which was also reduced (from .4520 /kWh to
.236 /kWh) by Decision No. 82 -04 -119. The Annual Energy
Rate is designed so as to recover 2 percent of the annual
energy costs plus miscellaneous costs, mostly associated
with fuel oil inventory.
Column F shows the Conservation Load Management
Adjustment Clause (CLMAC) of .0040 /kWh to be added to the
energy component of the rates for each rate schedule.
Column F shows the composite rates in effect as of May 4,
1982 for each of these Edison rate schedules.
As noted above the composite rates now in effect do not
include the cost associated with SONGS 2 which Edison now
projects to place in service on August 15, 1982. Edison has
thus filed a proposal in Application No. 82 -02 -40 to
establish a Major Additions Adjustments Clause (MAAC) to
implement a Major Additions Adjustment Billing Factor
(MAABF) and an Annual Major Additions Rate (AMAR) to recover
the costs of owning, operating, and maintaining SONGS 2.
The surcharges proposed in this filing are to become
effective on the in- service date of SONGS 2 (now projected
to be August 15, 1982) and are to be added to the composite
rates shown in Column F. Column G shows the surcharge
associated with the MAABF to be .0710 /kWh. The MAABF is to
be based upon an estimate of SONGS 2 operation and
maintenance expenses and associated payroll tax and
employee's pension and benefits, which cannot be reasonably
estimated. Any variation between the estimated level of
these expenses and the recorded expenses will be placed in
the MAAC balancing account and adjusted periodically to
reflect any over - collection or under- collection. The AMAR
is designed to recover costs of SONGS 2 that are fixed or
can be reasonably estimated. Such SONGS 2 expenditures to
be recovered through the AMAR are depreciation, property
taxes, income taxes, the administrative and general expenses
associated with injuries, damages, and property insurance,
and return on rate base. The initial AMAR is to be
.5910 /kWh. Column I shows the composite rates to be
effective August 15, 1982 to reflect the base rates, the
ECAC and the various surcharges including the surcharges to
recover the cost of SONGS 2. It is expected that these
rates will remain in effect until January 1, 1982 at which
time the rates contained in Columns B - F will be replaced
by rates subject to the filing in Application No. 61138.
The MAABF and the AMAR, shown in Columns G and H,
respectively, will remain in effect until December 31, 1985
because Application No. 61138 did not reflect the costs
-28-
associated with SONGS 2.
2. Pro•osed January 1 ,1983 Increase in Base Rates -
Edison proposes in Application No. 61138 to increase
its base rates by $1.25 billion per year to be effective for
the two year period January 1, 1983 - December 31, 1985.
Hearings on this application are now being held before the
CPUC and a decision on this filing will be issued in time
for the rates to become effective January 1, 1983. The
proposed increases in base rates are to occur in two steps;
the first increase is to take effect on January 1, 1983 and
the second is to take effect on January 1, 1984.
Sheet 2 of Exhibit F sets forth the level of Edison's
Schedule TOU -8, Schedule No. GS, Schedule No. PA -1, and
Schedule No. PA -2 rates as Edison proposes that become
effective on January 1, 1983. Schedule No. GS contains two
parts; Part A and Part B. This rate schedule replaces
Schedule No. A -7, Schedule No. GS -2 and Schedule No. GS -1.
Column A sets forth the rate schedule and the functional
components of the rate schedules. Column B sets forth for
these rate schedules the base rates proposed in Application
No. 61138. Column C sets forth the Energy Cost Adjustment
Billing Factor, as proposed in Application No. 61138.
Column D sets forth the Annual Energy Rate, also as proposed
in Application No. 61138 and Column E sets forth the
Conservation Load Management Billing Factor as proposed by
Edison in Application No. 61138. Column F shows the
composite rate filed in such application. Column G shows
the sum of the Major Additions Adjustment Billing Factor
(.0716 /kWh) and the Annual Major Additions Rate (.5914 /kWh).
The total rate which Edison proposes to be effective on
January 1, 1983 is thus shown in Column H. A comparison of
the rates effective May 4, 1982, as shown on Sheet 1 of
Exhibit F, with the rates proposed to be effective on
January 1, 1983, as shown in Column H of Sheet 2 of Exhibit
F shows the huge increases in Edison's retail rates that are
to occur on January 1, 1983.
VIII. THE DESIGN OF RATES
1. To Reflect Edison's Ste • 1 Increase in Rates -
Exhibit G, Sheet 1 shows the revenues at existing
rates, the proposed revenue increase and the resulting
revenues at the proposed rates. The proposed revenue
increase is shown in Column E. With minor exceptions, the
proposed rates are designed to recover the allocated costs
to each customer class, as set forth in Exhibit D, Sheet 1.
Two exceptions are with respect to Schedule No. D and the
lighting schedules. The customer charge in Schedule No. D
has been decreased from $1.62 per month to $1.50 per month,
and the energy charge has been reduced to 3.60 per kWh. The
revenues under these rates are less than allocated costs.
Likewise, the lighting rates, Schedule Nos. OL -1, LS -1, and
LS -2, have not been based upon allocated costs. Instead
they have been based upon the rates that Edison charges for
similiar service. Edison's rates are based upon studies of
the unique character of the service rendered by these types
of schedules, and thus probably result in a better measure
of the cost to serve under these schedules than an
allocation of costs. The resulting rates are higher than
would result from an allocation of costs.
Sheet 2 of Exhibit G shows the design of rates for
Schedule Nos. A -8, A -7, GS -2, GS -1, PA -1, and PA -2. As
noted above, these rates have been designed to recover the
costs allocated to these classes of service on Sheet 1,
Schedule D. The rates for Standby Service under Schedule
No. S have been designed to recover Vernon's cost of
rendering this service. The rate for the first 20 kW has
been increased from $2.16 per kW to $4.00 per kW to
contribute more toward the customer costs associated with
this service. The rate for all excess standby demand has
been set at $1.71 per kW, which represents Vernon's unit
fixed costs, as set -forth on Sheet 2 of Schedule C. The
rates for demands actually used has been set at Vernon's
incremental costs of $9.25 per kW under Edison's Step 1
rates. The energy used is to be billed at the energy rates
under the applicable rate schedule.
2. To Reflect Edison's Step 2 Increase in Rates -
As pointed out above, Edison's Step 2 rate increase to
Vernon will occur on the earlier of November 2, 1982 or the
date SONGS 2 becomes effective. To enable Vernon to reflect
this increase in its rates, we have designed surcharges to
become effective on September 1, 1982 if SONGS 2 is
operational at that time, or such later date as the STEP 2
rates become effective.
The surcharge to the Special Contract Customers and to
Schedule Nos. A -8, A -7, and GS -2 to reflect the additional
cost of their on -peak demands is set forth on Sheet 3 of
Exhibit G. The surcharge of $1.754 per kW of on -peak demand
was calculated by dividing Vernon's increase in demand costs
of $5,049,000 by the sum of the 12 monthly system demands.
This unit surcharge was applied to the on -peak demands of
Bethlehem and Steel Casting to arrive at monthly surcharges
of $8,937 for Bethlehem and $1,491 for Steel Casting. Bee
Jay and Kinetic have no on -peak billing demands and
therefore receive no increase in 'their monthly charges under
the Step 2 increase, which is entirely in the demand
component.
The .6370 /kWh unit surcharge applicable to the energy
purchased by customers in other classes, most of whom do not
have billing demands, was arrived at by subtracting the
annual demand surcharges to the Special Contract Customers,
Schedule Nos. A -8, A -7, and GS -2 customers from the Step 2
increase in demand cost and dividing by system annual kWh
sales, less sales to such customers. This calculation is
shown on Sheet 4 of Schedule No. 1.
3. Comparison of the Level of Vernon Rates With the Level
of Edison's Rates -
It is not feasible to make a meaningful comparison
between the level of Vernon's rates with the level of
Edison's rates at this time. While such comparisons can be
made for any point -in -time during the period January 1,
1982 - January 2, 1983 such comparisons are meaningless
because of the various changes that are occuring, at
different times, in these rates. Some of these differences
are as follows:
a. Edison has realized substantial savings in the cost
of energy by purchasing energy from the Northwest
that was produced by hydro - plants. Edison reduced
its rates to Vernon, by reducing the charges under
its fuel clause adjustment, as these savings were
realized in the winter and spring of 1982. Edison
did not reduce its retail rates to reflect these
savings, however. Instead, the CPUC has allowed
Edison to "husband" these savings and use them to
allow for lower rates for the period of May 1982
through December: 1982.
b. There is a fundamental difference between the
methodologies used by the FERC and the CPUC in the
processing of general rate increases. The CPUC
will analyze a rate proposal in detail prior to
allowing it to become effective. The rate that
does become effective is final and there will be no
refunds. The FERC, on the other hand, will allow
an increased rate to become effective, without much
analysis, but may require substantial refunds
-34-
later. It is thus misleading to compare Edison's
retail rates with Vernon's rates because Vernon
will probably receive refunds that will flow back
to its customers. Vernon is now in the process of
refunding to its customers approximately $5 million
that Edison refunded to Vernon under the terms of
an order in Docket No. 76 -205 with respect to an
Edison wholesale increase in 1976.
c. Other differences exist with respect to the timing
of general rate increases, at the retail level, one
huge rate increase is to become effective on
January 1, 1983 and another is to follow on
January 1, 1984. At the wholesale level one rate
increase became effective June 2, 1982 and another
is to become effective on or shortly after
November 1, 1982. Another wholesale filing is to
be made in November. All of these rate increases
will be subject to refund.
d. Edison will file surcharges to its retail rates to
reflect the cost of SONGS 2 and 3 and Palo Verde.
The surcharges (MAABF and AMAR) are to become
effective on in- service Date of SONGS 2 (August 15,
1982) to reflect this unit. Surcharges for the
other units will follow. With respect to the
wholesale rates, however, portions of the costs of
-35-
all three units were included in the Step 1 rates
becoming effective June 2, 1982. All of the
SONGS 2 costs and increased portions of the other
two units will be included in the rates to be filed
in November.
IX. THE ENERGY COST ADJUSTMENT BILLING FACTOR
Vernon's existing rates include a component of
4.4110 /kWh to recover the cost of Energy purchased from
Edison. These rates also contain an Energy Cost Adjustment
Clause under which Vernon tracks increase and decrease in
the energy component of the cost of its purchases from
Edison by applying an Energy Clause Adjustment Billing
Factor (ECABF) to its kWh sales of energy. Vernon presently
makes changes in its ECABF on a quarterly basis to reflect
the estimated cost of energy for the current period,
adjusted to reflect any over or under collections during the
prior period. This method is working very well and there
appears to be no reason to make substantive changess in such
methodology. All that is necessary is to set forth the
Energy Cost per kWh that is included in Base Rates. As
shown in Exhibit H, the cost of the energy Component of
purchases from Edison amounts to 5.1850/kWh. The existing
base cost of energy from which the ECABF is computed is
1
4.4110 /kWh, resulting in an increase of .7740 /kWh in the
base cost. The change in the base energy rate does not
really change the cost of energy to the customer, of course.
It merely means that more of the cost of energy is to be
collected in the base energy rate and less is to be
collected in the ECABF.
Vernon has made arrangements to purchase interruptible
energy from Nevada Power Company, which may result in
substantial savings in the cost of energy purchases. Any
such savings realized will be flowed- through to the
customers in the ECABF.

X. PURPA STANDARDS
While Vernon is not subject to the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA), this report
nevertheless addresses the various concerns of this
legistation. Sections 111 and 113 of PURPA provide for the
following standards:
1. Cost of Service
2. Declining Block Rates
3. Time —of —Day Rates
4. Seasonal Rates
5. Interruptible Rates
6. Load Management Techniques
7. Master Metering
8. Automatic Adjustment Clauses
9. Information to Consumers
10. Procedures for Termination of Electric Service
11. Advertising
This report has examined all of these standards to
determine what if any action Vernon should take so as to
meet its public service obligations. In some cases we
determined that no action was required because of the nature
-38-
of the service area. In the remaining instances we have
concluded that steps taken by Vernon fully meet the
objectives and standards of the legislation.
1. Cost of Service
The Cost of Service Standard provides that the cost of
providing electric service to each class of electric
consumers shall to the maximum extent practicable -
1. Permit identification of differences in
cost - incurrence for each such class of electric
consumers, attributable to daily and seasonal time
of use of service; and
2. Permit identification of differences in
cost - incurrence attributable to differences in
customer, demand, and energy components of cost.
In prescribing such methods, such State regulatory
authority or nonregulated electric utility shall
take into account the extent to which total costs
to an electric utility are likely to change if --
a. Additional capacity is added to meet peak
demand relative to base demand; and
b. Additional kilowatt -hours of electric
energy are delivered to electric
consumers.
As discussed above, a cost allocation was made to
develop a cost of service for each customer class, using the
best information and techniques available. The rates
proposed herein are based upon the results of this
allocation.
The schedules under which service is rendered to the
larger customers do reflect time of use considerations.
Schedule Nos. A -8 and A -7 provide for an adjustment for
off -peak demand and special contracts have been negotiated
with some customers having the flexibility of operation that
make load management techniques workable.
2. De clining Block Rates
The PURPA Declining Block Rates Standard provides that:
"The energy component of a rate, or the amount
attributable to the energy component of a rate, charged
by any electric utility for providing electric service
during any period to any class of electric consumers
may not decrease as kilo- watt -hour consumption by such
class increases during such period except to the extent
that such utility demonstrates that the costs to such
utility of providing electric service to such class
which costs are attributable to such energy component
decrease as such consumption increases during such
period."
The rates proposed in this report do not contain
declining blocks- in the energy component.
3. Time —of —Day Rates
The Time -of -Day Rates Standard provides: "The rates
charged by an electric utility for providing electric
service to each class of electric consumers shall be on a
time -of -day basis which reflects the costs of providing
electric service to such class of electric consumers at
different times of the day unless such rates are not
cost - effective with respect to such class, as determined
under Section 115(b) ".
As pointed out above, the existing schedules A -8 and
A -7 provide for an adjustment in billing demands for maximum
demands taken during the off peak periods. In addition,
Vernon has exhibited a willingness to enter into special
contracts with customers who desire to institute load
management techniques. Upon installation of additional,
more sophisticated, metering equipment at the point of
delivery of more of its customers, Vernon will be able to
extend its efforts at load management. As pointed out in
more detail at a later point, Vernon's sales to smaller
customers amount to a relatively small amount, making it not
cost effective to institute time -of -date rates for these
customers.
4. Seasonal Rates
The Seasonal Rates Standard provides: "The rates
charged by an electric utility for providing electric
service to each class of electric consumers shall be on a
seasonal basis which reflects the costs of providing service
to such class of consumers at different seasons of the year
to the extent that such costs vary seasonally for such
utility."
This report concludes that because of the relatively
small difference between the winter and summer monthly peaks
and the relatively small difference between costs during the
winter and summer periods, that there is little reason to
differentiate costs by season. This is particularly true
because of the rate structure of Vernon's sole supplier,
Edison. Vernon's billing demands upon which demand charges
payable to Edison are based, are set at the level of
Vernon's highest takes during the on -peak period of the day,
each month. There is no ratchet in these billing demands.
Thus, there is no basis for a seasonal demand charge.
5. Interruptible Rates
The Interruptible Rates Standard provides that: "Each
electric utility shall offer each industrial and commercial
electric consumer an interruptible rate which reflects the
cost of providing interruptible service to the class of
which such consumer is a member."
The cost savings resulting from interruptible service
has been examined and discussed with potential customers
from time to time in the past, and there is customer
interest in this concept. However, because Vernon purchases
its power and energy from Edison, this concept is feasible
only if Edison makes energy available to Vernon on an
interruptible basis. Vernon has proposed in its testimony
in Edison's FERC rate proceeding, Docket No. ER81 -177, that
Edison be required to institute an interruptible rate for
its wholesale customers. If this effort is successful,
Vernon will make such rate available to its customers where
feasible.
6. Load Management Techniques
The Load Management Technique Standard provides that:
Each electric utility shall offer to its electric consumers
such load management techniques as the State regulatory
authority has determined will --
1. be practicable and cost - effective,
2. be reliable, and
3. provide to the electric utility some enhancement in
its ability to manage energy or capacity.
It also provides that: a load management technique
shall be determined, by the State regulatory authority to be
cost- effective if --
a. such technique is likely to reduce maximum kilowatt
demand on the electric utility, and
b. the long -run cost - savings to the utility of such
reductions are likely to exceed the long -run costs
to the utility associated with implementation of
such technique.
As discussed above, Vernon has investigated Time -of -Day
Rates, Interruptible Rates and Special Contracts as a way to
control maximum demands.
These methods are considered to be the most effective
means available of achieving meaningful load management,
because of the nature of Vernon's loads. Vernon, being an
industrial City, has a relatively small number of customers,
most of which, however, are relatively large. Consequently,
it is feasible to deal with load management on an
individualized basis in areas where there is a potential for
-44-
load management. Because of the relative small number of
customers, however, and the limited amount of sales to
smaller customers, it is not economically nor adminis-
tratively feasible to experiment with such techniques as
time -of- use rates for water heating as load management
techniques.
7. Master Metering
The master Metering Standard provides that to the
extent determined appropriate, master metering of electric
service in the case of new buildings shall be prohibited or
restricted. Separate metering shall be determined
appropriate for any new building if --
1. There is more than one unit in such building.
2. The occupant of each such unit has control over a
portion of the electric energy used in such unit,
and
3. With respect to such portion of electric energy
used in such unit, the long -run benefits to the
electric consumers in such building exceed the
costs of purchasing and installing separate meters
in such building.
Because of the nature of Vernon's service area it is
unlikely that this provision will apply in the foreseeable
-45-
future, and Vernon has therefore not adopted a policy in
regard to buildings where Master Metering might be an
option.
8. Automatic Adjustment Clauses
The provisions of the Automatic Adjustment Clause
Standard provides that an automatic adjustment clause meets
the requirements of the standard if --
1. The clause is reviewed at least every four years
by the State regulatory authority at an evidentiary
hearing to insure the clause provides incentives
for efficient use of resources by the utility, and
2. The clause is reviewed at least every two years
by the State regulatory authority at an evidentiary
hearing to insure the maximum economics in those
operations and purchases that affect the rates of
the utility. This review shall include an
examination of the practices of the utility which
relate to the costs included in the clause. In
appropriate cases, an audit of such costs may be
required.
Vernon's rates contain an automatic adjustment clause
which adjusts customer's bills up or down to reflect the
actual costs of fuel and purchased energy. Vernon is not
-46-
subject to the jurisdiction of a State regulatory authority
and, consequently, its clause has not received such state
regulatory approval. Vernon's automatic adjustment clause
is, however, similar to clauses of investor -owned systems
that have been approved by state and federal regulatory
agencies. Vernon's automatic adjustment clause is thus
consistent with the intent of the legislation.
Information to Consumers
The Information to Consumers Standard provides that
each electric utility shall transmit to each of its electric
consumers certain information regarding rate schedules.
Vernon's program of providing information to its customers
includes all of the necessary rate schedule information.
10. Procedures for Termination of Electric Service
This Standard provides that no electric utility may
terminate electric service to any electric consumer except
pursuant to procedures prescribed by the State regulatory
authority. Vernon has adopted procedures similiar to those
utilized by privately owned systems, including Edison, that
have been approved by state regulatory agencies.
11. Advertising
-47-
The Advertising Standard provides that no electric
utility may recover from any person other than the
shareholders (or other owners) of such utility any direct or
indirect expenditures by such utility for promotional or
political advertising. Vernon does not advertise its
electric service.
XI. CONCLUSION
In our opinion, the rates proposed herein will allow
Vernon to recover its cost -of- service from j.ts customers in
a fair and equitable manner and complies with the intent of
PURPA.

Special Conditions to Add to
Schedule Nos. A -8, A -7, and GS -2
Excess Transformer Capacity: The transformer capacity
in excess of a customer's contract demand which is either
required by the Company because of the nature of the
customer's load or requested by the customer. Excess
transformer capacity shall be billed at $1.00 per kVA per
month.
Contract Demand: A contract demand will be established
by the Company, based on applicant's demand requirements for
any customer newly requesting service on this schedule and
for any customer of record on this schedule who requests an
increase or decrease in transformer capacity in accordance
with Rule No. 12D. A contract demand arrangement is
available upon request for all customers of record on this
schedule. Contract demand is based upon the nominal
kilovolt- ampere rating of the Company's serving
transformer(s) or the standard transformer size determined
by the Company as required to serve the customer's stated
measurable kilowatt demand, whichever is less and is
expressed in kilowatts.
Minimum Demand Charge: Where no contract demand is
involved, the monthly minimum demand charge shall be
computed by multiplying the billing demand by the demand
charge per kilowatt. Where a contract demand is involved,
the monthly minimum demand charge shall be the greater of:
a. The charge as computed by multiplying the billing
demand by the demand charge per kilowatt; or
b. A facilities charge of $1.00 per kilowatt of
contract demand.
Exhibit E
Sheet 2 of 3
City of Vernon
Special Condition to Add to
All Rate Schedules
Other than Special Contracts
In -Lieu Payments: The amount payable under the rates
filed herin shall be multiplied by 1.03 to reflect payments
in -lieu of a franchise fee.
Exhibit E
Sheet 3 of 3
City of Vernon
Procedures for Calculating the
Amount of Refunds to be Retained
A deferred account shall be established in which to
accumulate Vernon's additional costs and associated interest
resulting from Southern California Edison's increased rates
in Docket No. ER82 -427 becoming effective prior to the
increase in Vernon's rates. The deferred amount is to be
computed by multiplying Vernon's billing demands during the
months of June, July, and August by $2.35 per kW of billing
demand, which is the approximate average increase in the
demand charge resulting from the Step 1 increase. Interest
on this amount shall be computed at the interest rate which
the FERC requires Edison to pay on its refunds to Vernon.
The amount accumulated in this deferred account is to be
deducted from any refunds which Vernon receives from Edison
in Docket No. ER82 -427 prior to flowing such refunds through
to Vernon's customers.

Procedures for Calculating the
Energy Clause Adjustment Billing Factor
The rate schedules contained herein are to contain, in
addition to the base rates included in the current tariff,
an Energy Clause Adjustment Billing Factor (ECABF) to
reflect changes in the cost of fuel and purchased energy.
The ECABF is to be calculated pursuant to the following
equation:
Ell
EC + C
ECABF = e
S
e
Where,
ECABF = Energy Cost Adjustment Billing Factor per Kilowatt
Hour Sold
ECe = Estimated Fuel and Energy Costs for the Current
Period
C = Correctiin for Previous Period's Over- or Under—
recovery
S e Estimated Kilowatt hours to be Sold in Current
II7e Period
B = Energy Cost per Kilowatt Hour included in Base
Rates = 5.1850/kWh
1 If the previous period average costs were less than
5.1850 per kWh, C is negative. If such average costs
were greater than 5.1850 per kWh, C is positive.

Exhibit H
Sheet 3 of 4
Energy Clause Adjustment Billing Factor
(Continued)
ECA Computation Sheet
Schedule V -1 is attached to provide the computation sheet
for all periods once implementation is completed.
Estimated Energy Costs (ECe)
Items 1 through 3 represent the estimated energy costs which
are to be used iin computing the period's ECA. This is an
estimate of the costs the City expects to incur for the
three month period to which this ECA will apply. It is
comprised only of commodity or energy costs in keeping with
standards only of commodity or energy costs in keeping with
standards established by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission and various state regulatory bodies.
To calculate items 1(a) and 1(b), the City must obtain
estimates from Edison of the kilowatt hours expected to be
sold to the City of Vernon during the period the ECA will be
in effect. Edison must also provide an estimate of the ECA
that they will be charging the City during that period.
Line 2 would be comprised of estimated fuel costs required
to operate the City's generating units. This charge would
be designated on the billing for operating expenses as being
charged to FERC account 547, Fuel. At the outset there will
probably be no cost associated with this line item. However
it will become a factor when the units become operational
once again.
Line 3 represents an estimate of the cost of interruptible
energy to be purchased during the period the ECA will be in
effect.
Correction Factor
Lines 4 through 7 of the computation sheet are used to
calcualte the amount needed to correct for over - or under -
recovery of energy costs in previous periods. Line 4
represents a true -up of the previous period's estimate of
energy costs on Lines 1 and 2. These amounts can be taken
from the billings of Edison both for purchased power and for
fuel used by the Vernon generating units for the appropriate
periods being corrected.
Because there is a delay in the availability of expense and
revenue data for individual months, the period for which a
correction factor is calculated will lag behind by one
month.

I. INTRODUCTION
On November 8, 1983, Southern California Edison Company
(Edison) tendered for filing with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) in Docket No. ER84 -75 a
proposed two -step increase in its wholesale rates for
service to Vernon and seven other wholesale customers. The
Step 1 rates provide for an increase in jurisdictional
revenues of approximately $32.6 million (13.19 %) for the
twelve month test period ending December 31, 1984. The
Step 2 rates would result in an additional increase in
revenues above the Step 1 rates of approximately $9.9
million (4.0 %), for a total increase of $42.6 million
(17.1 %). Edison requested effective dates for the Step 1
and Step 2 rates of January 7, 1984 and January 8, 1984
respectively. The Step 1 rates reflect a return on equity
of 13.25 percent which, in Edison's opinion, should
encourage the FERC to grant a suspension of only one day,
while Step 2 rates reflect a return on equity of 16 percent.
The Commission may suspend a rate increase for as long as
five months or as little as one day, depending upon the
recommendations of its staff after a preliminary review. We
believe the proposed rate to be so as excessive as to
require a full five month suspension. The Step 1 rates
could become effective as early as January or as late as
June. Likewise, the Step 2 rates could become effective in
January, or be suspended to a date as late as early June. At
this time the Commission has not issued an order and
probably will not until early January, and we will not know
the actual efective dates until that time. We thus
recommend that the rates designed herein to track Edison's
Step 1 and Step 2 rates be made effective on the same dates
-1-
//
that the FERC allows Edison's Step 1 and Step 2 rates. Both
Step 1 and Step 2 rates are subject to ultimate refund
pending FERC action on the merits of the proposed increases.
While Vernon and the other wholesale customers have
vigorously protested the proposed increase, and while such
rates may ultimately be reduced and some refunds required,
Vernon's cost of purchases will increase dramatically with
the proposed increases. Edison's Testimony indicates that
the major reasons for the proposed increase is to reflect
SONGS 2 and SONGS 3 costs and to include 50 percent of
construction work in progress (CWIP) in the rate base.
Under the policy of including CWIP in progress in the rate
base, today's ratepayer is paying plant costs on plant that
will go into service to serve future customers. This is
not allowed at the CPUC, but the FERC has recently adopted a
policy of permitting such practice.
Sheets 2, 3, and 4 of Exhibit B show the calculation of
Vernon's cost of purchases from Edison under existing rates,
Step 1 rates and Step 2 rates, respectively. The following
table shows Edison's estimate of the increases in costs to
Vernon under the Step 1 and Step 2 increases:
Cost
to Vernon
(000's)
Step 1 Step 2
Increased Rates $72,983 $75,297
Existing rates 65,694 65,694
Increase $ 7,289 $9,603
The Step 1 increase in the cost of Vernon's purchases
from Edison will,amount to approximately $7.3 million per
year, assuming the same billing demands experienced during
-2-
12/4/83
the year ending October 31, 1983, while the Step 2 increase
will amount to another $2.3 million per year for a total
increase in the cost of Vernon's purchases from Edison of
$9.6 million per year, or by 14.6 percent.
The increases in the energy component of the rates are
routinely reflected in Vernon's Energy Clause Adjustment
Billing Factor (ECABF) which is changed every three months.
The increases in Edison's demand charges, however, are not
reflected in the ECABF, and Vernon must therefore increase
its base rates to recover these increased costs. This rate
increase follows major rate increases in three other filings
that have yet to be resolved wherein Edison estimated its
increases to be as follows:
Docket Amount of Percent of
No. Increase Increase
(Millions)
ER79 -150 $5.5 4.0%
ER81 -177 $28.6 7.4%
ER82 -427 $34.4 15.7%
The above noted increases are without the increases
proposed for nuclear stations that had in fact been included
in the proposed increases in Docket Nos. ER81 -177 and
ER82 -427. The rates established in each of these three
filings are effective subject to judicial determination and
may be rolled back. If so, this will result in refunds to
the cities.
Edison also proposes major changes in its rate design,
including the addition of a demand charge during the mid
peak period and time of use (TOIJ) energy rates. The new
rates filed by Edison, including the changed rate form, will
also become effective subject to judicial determination and
may be changed. If so, power and energy purchased during
-3-
12/6/83
the period subsequent to the change in rates will be priced
at the rates resulting from the regulatory process and the
excess revenues collected by Edison will be refunded.
This report contains my following recommendations for
the adjustments of Vernon's rates to allow Vernon to recover
its cost of service, including the increased cost of
purchases from Edison, in a fair and equitable manner,
pursuant to costs estimated to be incurred in the estimated
test year ending December 31, 1984: (1) design rates to
become effective January 7, 1984 , or whenever Edison's
rates are allowed to become effective, to recover Vernon's
costs, including the cost of purchased power and energy
under Edison's Step 1 rates, as allocated among the various
classes of service; and, (2) provide for a surcharge to
recover the increase in the cost of purchases under Step 2
rates, to become effective at the time that the FERC allows
Edison's Step 2 rates to become effective.
We also recommend several changes in Vernon's rate
schedules to track Edison's changes in its rate schedule.
Because of Edison's greatly expanded time of use rates, we
recommend the conversion of Schedule A -8 to a time of use
rate, Rate Scehdule TOU -V. With such a rate schedule, it
will be appropriate to eliminate the special contracts with
Byron Jackson and Steel Casting. This new form of rate
should be helpful to our larger customers in several ways.
Because of the favorable load patterns of these customers,
they will enjoy lower overall rates than would exist without
a time of use rate. Also, because the savings realized by
the system because of any improvement in the load patterns
of individual customers will be flowed directly through to
the customers responsible for the savings. This gives each
customer more flexibility in controlling its cost of power
and energy. The metering equipment to make this rate design
feasible is in place, or will shortly be in place.

II. ADEQUACY OF REVENUES UNDER PRESENT RATES
Vernon's revenues under its existing rates are
approximately equal to its cost of providing utility
service, including its operating costs and cost of purchases
from Edison, as shown in Exhibit A. Column B of Exhibit A
shows Vernon's monthly revenues for the twelve month period
October 1982 through September 1983. Column C shows
Vernon's cost of purchases from Edison during this period,
and Column D shows the excess of Vernon's revenues over its
cost of purchases from Edison. As shown on Line 13, Column
D, Vernon's revenues for the year exceeded its cost of
purchases from Edison by approximately $4.7 million. During
this period, however, Vernon reduced the reserve in its ECAC
account under its Energy Cost Adjustment Clause by $1.1
million. This results in a negative adjustment to
revenues. Also, Vernon flowed through refunds of $2.0
million during this period, which results in a positive
adjustment to revenues. Finally, Vernon's off system
purchases, including all costs, amounted to $1.1 million,
which requires a positive adjustment to costs. The net
result is that Vernon's adjusted revenues exceed its cost of
purchases by $4.4, which was available to cover Vernon's
fixed cost of owning and operating its utility system.
Vernon's annual costs, in addition to its cost of purchased
power and energy, as set forth on Sheet 1 of Exhibit B,
12/6/83
amounted to $4.0 million, and payments in lieu of taxes and
franchise fees amounts to $1.8 million, for a total of $5.8
million. Vernon's net revenues were thus deficient by
approximately $1,429,000. This comparison is set forth in
the following table:
Amount
(000's)
Revenues $60,988
Refund Flow thru 1,985
Increase in ECAC Reserve <1,102>
Net Revenues $61,871
Cost of Purchases from Edison 56,268
Other Purchases 1,154
Difference $4,449
Vernon's Non - purchase Costs 5,878
Deficiency $1,429
12/4/83
III. REVENUE REQUIREMENTS
The City of Vernon has certain revenue requirements
(cost of service) associated with the rendering of
electrical service to its customers. These revenue
requirements are made up of the cost of purchases from
Edison, the cost of operations under the operating agreement
with Edison, other miscellaneous costs, depreciation of the
electrical facilities used to provide the service, and
return (or interest) on the investment in the electrical
facilities owned by Vernon. A breakdown of Vernon's annual
revenue requirements including the cost of purchases from
Edison under the filed rates (without giving effect to the
fuel clause adjustment) is shown on Sheet 1 of Exhibit B for
the year ended October 31, 1983. Vernon's annual revenue
requirements as estimated for the future with Edison's
Step 1 rate increase in effect is shown in Column C of this
schedule. The cost of purchases from Edison are projected
to increase from $65.7 million per year to $73.0 million per
year assuming the Step 1 rates are to remain in effect for
the entire year. Under the Step 1 rates, the cost of
purchases from Edison of $73.0 million will thus amount to
approximately 95 percent of Vernon's total revenue
requirements of $77 million.
The projected costs of power and energy (purchases from
Edison) under the Step 1 rates are set forth on Line 1,
Column C of Exhibit B, Sheet 1. This projection is based
upon the assumptions: (1) that purchases from Edison during
the year ending December 31, 1984 will be the same as
Vernon's total energy requirements during the year ended
October 31, 1983; (2) that Vernon's billing demand units
will be the same as the billing demand units with Edison
during the year ended October 31, 1983; and, (3) the Step 1
rates will be in effect throughout the projected year. The
77-
12/4/83
calculation of the cost of purchases from Edison under these
assumptions is set forth on Sheet 3 of Exhibit B.
The computations of the cost of purchases from Edison
under existing rates, under Step 1 rates and under Step 2
rates are set forth in Sheets 2, 3, and 4, respectively of
Exhibit B. The purchases from Edison are set equal to
Vernon's actual energy requirements during the year ending
October 31, 1983.
Exhibit B, Sheet 1, Line 2, Column C shows the
projected cost of contractual services including consulting
engineering, special accounting, engineering, and legal
counsel of $585,000. Line 3 shows miscellaneous costs of
$152,000 for services of City personnel and supplies and
expenses. Line 4 shows the projected cost of $2,161,000
payable to Edison for operating Vernon's system pursuant to
its Operating Agreement. Line 5 shows a projection of
depreciation of City's electrical facilities of $400,000.
Line 6 shows an allowance for return on net investment in
electric plant of $750,000. This allowance for return was
computed by applying a rate of return of 12.65 percent,
based upon Edison's cost of capital as determined by the
CPUC, to Vernon's gross plant less accumulated depreciation.
Edison's cost of capital was used because Vernon's
experience with financing is too limited to use as a measure
of the cost of capital. A more appropriate measure of the
cost of capital is the requirements of a private utility
that makes frequent transactions in the bond and stock
markets. Edison is, in this instance, an appropriate model
upon which to base Vernon's cost of capital. The return
component was thus computed at a rate of 12.65 percent which
is the rate of return allowed for 1984 by the California
Public Utilities Commission in Edison's retail case by
Decision No. 82 -12 -055 issued December 30, 1980 in Edison's
Application No. 61138.
As shown on Line 7 of this Exhibit the annual revenue
requirements of the City of Vernon from its electrical
-8-
12/4/83
system are approximately $77.0 million under Edison's Step 1
rates.
//
IV. ALLOCATION OF REVENUE REQUIREMENTS
Exhibit D, Sheet 1 shows an allocation of the demand
and energy components of the system's revenue requirements
among the various classes of service. This allocation of
system revenue requirements among the various customer
classes was made in the following manner. The total revenue
requirements of $77,031,000 as set forth on Exhibit B, Sheet
1 were classified as demand or energy and further broken
down as costs associated with service during Edison's on
peak, mid peak and off peak time of use periods. As shown
on Sheet 2 of Exhibit D, the energy cost of purchases from
Edison were classified to the energy component. All other
costs were classified to the demand component.
Miscellaneous revenues ($25,000), demand costs associated
with service to the Special Contract Customers and revenues
from service to LS -1, LS -2, and OL -1 customers were then
deducted from the classified cost of service. Revenues from
the lighting class of customers were deducted from the cost
of service, rather than allocating costs to such customers
because, as explained in the Rate Design Section, we have
determined that it is appropriate to base the rates for
these Schedules upon Edison's retail rates rather than upon
allocated costs. The remaining classified costs were then
allocated as set forth on Sheet 1 of Exhibit D. The cost of
energy purchased from Edison as shown in Column C was
allocated between classes of service on the basis of kWh
sales to each class, respectively, as adjusted for losses.
The development of the allocation factors including the
adjustment for losses is shown on Sheet 3 of Exhibit C. For
purposes of this adjustment, it was assumed that some of the
customers purchase from secondary lines, some purchase from
primary lines, some purchase from distribution lines and
-10-
11
some purchase from transmission lines. Inasmuch as there
are losses at each step along the way, the percent loss
responsibility varies depending upon the voltage level of
service. Therefore, Sheet 3 of Exhibit C shows an extimate
of the total kWh responsibilityof each class of service
assuming losses to a common point, the transmission system.
The other costs, including demand costs associated with
purchases from Edison, Power Factor Adjustments and Voltage
Discounts, were allocaated on the basis of the billing
demands of the respective classes, again at the transmission
level voltage. Billing demands were used for this purpose
because this is the best information available for this
purpose. It would be preferable to allocate such costs on
the basis of coincident peak demands, but such data is not
available. In some instances, billing demands were not
recorded, but were imputed. Billing demands for Schedule.
no. D and Schedule Nos. GS -1 and TC -1 were imputed on the
basis of 25 percent load factor purchases while billing
demands for Schedule No. PA -1 were imputed on the basis of
60 percent load factor purchases.

V. PROPOSED CHANGES IN RATE SCHEDULE STRUCTURE
Edison instituted time of use (TOU) rates for Vernon
and the other resale cities on an optional basis in its
filing in Docket No. ER79 -150 by providing that a demand
charge be applied to peak requirements occuring during the
on peak period. A higher requirement during other times of
the day would not result in higher demand charges. The of F
peak period occurs during the afternoon hours in the winter
and during

the evening hours in the summer. This filing
ER79 -150 partially tracked the retail time of
which was based on 3 time periods. At the retail
the peak period was generally the same as that filed
for resale customers in Docket No. ER79 -150. The off peak
period was generally the late night and early morning hours.
The mid peak period included the hours not covered by the on
peak and off peak periods. Edison stated in its filing that
it was its attempt to make its resale rates similar to its
retail rates, and in its new filing in Docket No. ER84 -75,
proposes to levy a demand charge for the peak requirements
during its mid peak period equal to 10 percent of its demand
charge for on peak requirements and institute time of use
energy rates as well. Vernon, being an industrial city, has
unique features that make this form of rate exceptionally
valuable to it and its customers. Not only will Vernon's
customers realize savings on the basis of their existing
load patterns, they will also be in a position to effect
further reductions in their cost of power and energy by
rescheduling their operations to further improve their load
patterns.

1. Schedule TOU -V
Because of Edison's new rate form, with the additional
time of use rate components, we recommend that Vernon
consider the implementation of a new rate form for the
larger customers that will result in a more precise tracking
of the cost of purchases from Edison on behalf of these
customers. Without such a rate form it will not be possible
to design rates that will recover the cost of purchases from
Edison with reasonable accuracy in the event of changes in
the load patterns of the customers because the rates will
necessarily be designed on the basis of an expected mix of
on peak, off peak and mid peak energy, and an expected
relationship between on peak and mid demands. The time of
use rate will also encourage customers to implement load
management techniques to reduce their bills. The existing
rate structure would result in an over or under collection
if load patterns vary from the expected. A time of use
schedule would adjust revenues to reflect this change in
load patterns to meet the cost of purchases from Edison,
however. We are therefore proposing the elimination of rate
schedules now available to the larger customers. These rate
schedules to be eliminated include the special contracts for
Steel Casting and Byron Jackson as well as Rate Schedule
A -8, now mandatory for customers other than the special
contract customers having peak requirements in excess of
1,000 kW, and the substitution of a time of use rate
schedule, TOU -V, for customers having magnetic tape
recording type meters. Approximately 55 customers have such
meters now. These customers include all of the customers
purchasing under Schedule No. A -8, and some of the customers
currently purchasing under Schedule No. A -7. Magnetic tape
recording devices are scheduled to be installed for all
remaining customers purchasing under Schedule No. A -7 in the
near future.
To fully implement this proposal an additional rule
should be included in Vernon's tariff to provide (1) that a
-14-
12/4/83
recording type meter be installed for all customers having
peak requirements in excess of 500 kW, and (2) that all
customers having recording type meters be required to
receive service under Schedule No. TOU -V. Such a proposed
condition is included in Exhibit E, Page 1.
2. Payment In -Lieu of Taxes and Franchise Fees
Edison has traditionally made franchise fee payments
and various tax payments to the cities in which they render
service at retail, and has included these payments in their
retail rates. In similiar fashion, Vernon has traditionally
made payments from its electric utility operations to its
general fund as a recovery of taxes or in -lieu franchise
fee. This payment has averaged about 3 percent of the total
revenues from electric service and has been built into the
base rates. We propose, however, that rather than build the
tax and in -lieu payment into the rates, an increment be
added to revenues otherwise payable under the rates filed to
provide for the tax and in -lieu franchise fee. A paragraph
has been added to each of the rate schedules to provide that
the total charges computed under the rates and charges of a
rate schedule are to be increased by three (3) percent to
reflect payments in lieu of taxes and franchise fees. This
provision is shown in Exhibit E, Sheet 2. These funds when
collected are transferred to the General Fund account to
help defray the cost of general city operations.
3. Excess Transformer Capacity
Rate Schedule Nos. A -8, A -7, and GS -2 now contain
provisions requiring a customer to reimburse Vernon for
transformer capacity in excess of a customer's contract
demand which is either required by the company because of
the nature of the customer's load or requested by the
customer. At the recommendations of Energy Services, Inc.,
we have included such a condition in Rate Schedule GS -1
also. This provision is shown in Exhibit E, Sheet 3.
-15-
12/6/83
4. Determination of GS -2 Billing Demand
Special condition No. 2 of Rate Schedule No. GS -2 now
provides that the billing demand shall be determined to the
nearest 1/10 kW. Vernon's Rate Schedule Nos. A -8 and A -7
provide that the billing demand is to be determined to the
nearest kW. We have thus changed the provision of Rate
Schedule GS -2 to determine billing demands to the nearest
kW, consistent with the other rate schedules. This
provision is shown in Exhibit E, Sheet 4.
5. Rules for Schedule No. PA -2.
The City of Vernon has adopted Special Conditions for
Schedule Nos. A -8, A -7 and GS -2 dealing with Excess
Transformer Capacity, Contract Demand and Minimum Demand
Charges. We now recommend that these Special Conditions be
adopted for Schedule No. PA -2 as well. These provisions are
shown on Exhibit E, Sheet 5.
12/6/83
VI. EDISON RATES
The regulatory methodology of the FERC, which
establishes the rates under which Vernon purchases from
Edison, differs markedly from the regulatory methodology of
the CPUC, which establishes the rates which Edison's retail
customers purchase under. The FERC, for instance, will
allow rate increases to become effective without serious
examination soon after they are filed but will subsequently
require the refunding of the portion of the proposed
increase that is subsequently found to be excessive. The
CPUC, however, must investigate the rates prior to their
effectiveness. If a comparison were made of Edison's retail
rates with Vernon's rates, one must take into consideration
that Vernon may receive refunds that can be used to reduce
future costs of service. Other major differences exist with
respect to the form of Edison's wholesale and retail rates,
both of which are now undergoing major changes in form.
These problems are discussed below.
1. Edison's Existing Retail Rates -
The rates at which Edison bills its retail customers
are composites of several components. The first is the base
rate under which Edison recovers its projected fixed costs.
These base rates are established in general rate cases which
Edison may file only once every two years. Edison recovers
its projected fixed costs associated with return on
investment, depreciation, income taxes, other taxes, and
operating expenses under its base rates. Next is the Energy
Cost Adjustment Clause (ECAC) under which Edison may file
three times a year; January 1, May 1, and September 1.
Edison recovers 98 percent of its cost of energy under the
ECAC. The other 2 percent of the cost of energy, along with
miscellaneous costs associated mostly with fuel oil
inventory, is recovered under the annual energy rate (AER).
-17-
12/4/83
Edison also has a Major Additions Adjustment Billing Factor
(MAABF) under which it recovers the cost of major additions
prior to their inclusion in the base rates, an Electric
Revenue Adjustment Billing Factor (ERAMF) to adjust revenues
for sales fluctuations, the Steel Surcharge Adjustment
Billing Factor (SSABF) and the Annual Major Additions Rate
(AMAR). The other component presently included in Edison's
rates is the Conservation Load Management Adjustment Clause
(CLMAC) .
Edison included the MAABF to recover the costs of
SONGS 2 that cannot be projected with reasonable accuracy;
and, (b) an Annual Major Additions Rate (AMAR) designed to
recover the SONGS 2 costs that can be projected with
reasonable accuracy. These various components of Edison's
rates are discussed more fully below, with reference to
Exhibit F.
Sheet 1 of Exhibit F shows the composite Edison retail
rates for Schedule Nos. TOU -8, GS -2, GS -1, PA -1, and PA -2
that are to be effective in November 1983. Column A shows
the rate schedules and the functional components of the
rates (demand, energy, and customer components). Columns
B - J show the levels of the various increments of the
functional components of the rates.
Column B shows the base rates that became effective on
January 1, 1983 pursuant to the CPUC Decision No. 82 -12 -055
issued December 13, 1982 in Edison's Application No.
61138. Edison will be allowed additional increases to be
effective on or after January 1, 1984 to offset the affects
of attrition and to more fully reflect SONGS 2 costs.
The rate levels set forth in Column B are designed to
recover Edison's fixed costs associated with generation,
transmission, and distribution. These costs include return
on investment, depreciation, income taxes, other taxes, and
operation and maintenance (O &M) expenses.
The levels of the functional components of Schedule
TOU -8 are shown on Lines 1 - 8. Edison has established a
-18-
12/4/83
base rate demand charge of $5.05 per kW per month for the kW
of demand purchased under this schedule during the on -peak
period. In addition, Edison has established a base rate
demand charge for the mid -peak period of $.65. The customer
charge of $560 per month has been established on the basis
that customers taking as little as 500 kW per month must
purchase under Schedule No. TOU -8. Edison has established
an energy charge of 2.145¢ /kWh for the on -peak periods.
the mid -peak period, and the off -peak periods. Edison has
proposed thus a uniform level for the base rate energy
component in its Schedule No. TOU -8 but has provided,
instead, that the ECABF reflect differences in costs between
the on -peak, mid -peak, and off -peak energy.
Column C shows the Energy Cost Adjustment Billing
Factor (ECABF) to be added to the base energy rate of all
rate schedules.
Column D shows the Annual Energy Rate (AER) of
.3900 /kWh. The Annual Energy Rate is designed so as to
recover 2 percent of the annual energy costs plus
miscellaneous costs, mostly associated with fuel oil
inventory.
Column F shows the Conservation Load Management
Adjustment Clause (CLMAC) of .0270 /kWh to be added to the
energy component of the rates for each rate schedule.
Column F shows the composite rates in effect as of May 4,
1982 for each of these Edison rate schedules.
Edison thus filed a proposal in Application No.
82 -02 -40 to establish a Major Additions Adjustments Clause
(MAAC) to implement a Major Additions Adjustment Billing
Factor (MAABF) and an Annual Major Additions Rate (AMAR) to
recover the costs of owning, operating, and maintaining
SONGS 2. The surcharges resulting in this filing are set
forth in Columns G and H. Column G shows the surcharge
associated with the MAABF to be .0311¢ /kWh. The MAABF is to
be based upon an estimate of SONGS 2 costs which cannot be
reasonably estimated. Any variation between the estimated
-19-
12/6/83
level of these expenses and the recorded expenses will be
placed in the MARC balancing account and adjusted
periodically to reflect any over - collection or
under- collection. The AMAR is designed to recover costs of
SONGS 2 that are fixed or can be reasonably estimated. The
initial AMAR is to be .071it/kWh. Column I shows the PUC
reimbursement fee and Column J shows the composite rates to
reflect the base rates, the ECAC and the various surcharges
including the surcharges to recover the cost of SONGS 2. It
is expected that these rates will remain in effect until
January 1, 1984 at which time the rates will be adjusted to
reflect attrition and additional SONGS 2 costs.No. 61138.
The MAABF and the AMAR, shown in Columns G and H,
respectively, will remain in effect until December 31, 1985
because Application No. 61138 did not reflect the costs
associated with SONGS 2. Edison has filed "Notice of Intent"
to file a rate increase application with the CPUC at that
time and roll SONGS 2 costs into the base rate as well.
12/6/83
VII. THE DESIGN OF RATES
1. To Reflect Edison's Ste 1 Increase in Rates -
Exhibit G, Sheet 1 shows the revenues at existing
rates, the proposed revenue increase and the resulting
revenues at the proposed rates. The proposed revenue
increase is shown in Column E. With minor exceptions, the
proposed rates are designed to recover the allocated costs
to each customer class, as set forth in Exhibit D, Sheet 1.
Two exceptions are with respect to Schedule No. D and the
lighting schedules. The customer charge in Schedule No. D
(Domestic) of $1.50 per month has been retained and the
energy charge has been increased from 4.399 to 4.50¢ per
kWh. The revenues under these rates are less than allocated
costs. Likewise, the lighting rates, Schedule Nos. OL -1,
LS -1, and LS -2, have not been changed from the existing
rates, on the basis of a study comparing the existing rates
with the rates that Edison charges for similiar service.
Edison's rates are based upon studies of the unique
character of the service rendered by these types of
schedules, and thus probably result in a better measure of
the cost to serve under these schedules than an allocation
of costs. The rates for Schedules OL -1, LS -1 and LS -2
designed to track the Edison rates, using Vernon's energy
costs, are very close to the existing rates for these
schedules. We therefore recommended no changes in Rate
Schedule Nos. OL -1, LS -1 and LS -2.
Sheet 2 of Exhibit G shows the design of rates for
Schedule Nos. A -7, GS -2, GS -1, PA -1, and PA -2. As noted
above, these rates have been designed to recover the costs
allocated to these classes of service on Sheet.1, Schedule
D. Rates for Schedule TOU -V were likewise designed to
recover the costs allocated to such service. As of this
-21-
12/6/83
time, there are 30 customers for whom we have data from a
recording metering device for the full year ending October
31, 1983. Annual sales to this group of customers
represents 63.4 percent of the total sales to customers
purchasing under Schedule Nos. A -8 and A -7. While we would
prefer to have data for a complete year for all of the
customers that will soon be purchasing under Schedule TOU -V,
and this includes all of the customers under Schedule Nos.
A -8 and A -7, we feel that under these circumstances it is
necessary to design TOU -V rates on the basis of costs
allocated to these 30 customers. The mid -peak demand charge
under Schedule TOU -V was set equal to Edison's midpeak
demand charges. While there will be losses associated with
deliveries to Schedule No. TOU -V customers, these losses
will be more than offset by diversity among the TOU -V
customers. That is, the sum of the customers peaks during
the mid peak period will be less than Vernon's mid peak
maximum requirements because not all of the customers will
peak at the same time. The mid peak and off peak energy
charges under Schedule No. TOU -V were set equal to Edison's
mid peak and off peak energy charges, respectively, to
reflect losses.
The rates for Standby Service under Schedule No. S have
been designed to recover Vernon's cost of rendering this
service. The rate for the first 20 kW has been increased
from $4.00 per kW to $4.50 per kW to contribute more toward
the customer costs associated with this service. The rate
for all excess standby demand has been set at $2.30 per kW,
which represents Vernon's unit fixed costs, as set -forth on
Sheet 2 of Schedule C. The rates for demands actually used
has been set at Vernon's incremental costs of $14.64 per kW
under Edison's Step 1 rates. The energy used is to be
billed at the energy rates under the applicable rate
schedule.
12/6/83
2. To Reflect Edison's Step 2 Increase in Rates -
As pointed out above, Edison's Step 2 rate increase to
Vernon will also result in an increase in Vernon's cost of
purchases from Edison. To enable Vernon to reflect this
increase in its rates, we have designed surcharges to become
effective on the date the Step 2 rates become effective.
The surcharge to reflect the additional cost of
Edison's Step 2 increase is set forth on Sheet 3 of Exhibit
G. The demand surcharge of .777 per kW of on -peak demand
for Schedule Nos. TOU -V, A -7, and GS -2 was calculated by
dividing Vernon's increase in demand costs of $2,374,159 by
the sum of the 12 monthly system demands. The unit
surcharge for the mid -peak demands is calculated as 10
percent of the on -peak demand charge, or $.078. The energy
surcharge for these customers is the increase in Step 2
energy rates (.0240 /kWh) adjusted to .025 to reflect the
losses.
The .384¢ /kWh unit surcharge applicable to the energy
purchased by customers in other classes, most of whom do not
have billing demands, was arrived at by subtracting the
annual demand surcharges to the Schedule Nos. TOU -V, A -7,
and GS -2 customers from the Step 2 increase in demand cost
and dividing by system annual kWh sales to such customers,
and adding the energy surcharge of .0250 /kWh. This
calculation is shown on Sheet 3 of Exhibit G.
3. Transportation for Cogeneration
We recognize that Vernon may be asked to perform a
transportation service for cogeneration customers, and while
it is not appropriate to recommend a rate for this service
now, we do recommend a procedure that may be followed, which
is set forth on Sheet 2 of Exhibit C. This schedule shows
the development of a unit cost for transportation by
dividing the sum of Vernon's fixed costs, including Contract
-23-
12/6/83
Services, Miscellaneous Expenses, Operating Agreement Costs,
Depreciation Return and Payments in lieu of taxes and
franchises, by the sum of Vernon's system demands. We
recommend, however, that the contract services portion be
reduced by the amounts paid for purchases, to retain the
amounts expended for cogeneration. We also recommend that
the City consider a reduction in the in lieu payments on an
individual basis. The demands of the transportation for
cogeneration customers are to be added to existing system
demands to arrive at the Adjusted System Demands on line 11.
If, for instance, the demands of the cogenerators amount to
100 mW, the total annual demand of 1,200 mW would be set
forth on Exhibit C, Sheet 1. This 1,200 mW added to system
demands of 2,778 mW results in adjusted system demands of
3,978 mW on line 11 of Exhibit C, Sheet 1. Assuming no
change in the cost of contracted services or in lieu
payments, the monthly demand rate for transportation for
cogeneration would be $6,348 divided by 3,978 or $1.60 per
kW.
12/6/83
Services, Miscellaneous Expenses, Operating Agreement Costs,
Depreciation Return and Payments in lieu of taxes and
franchises, by the sum of Vernon's system demands. We
recommend, however, that the contract services portion be
reduced by the amounts paid for purchases, to retain the
amounts expended for cogeneration. We also recommend that
the City consider a reduction in the in lieu payments on an
individual basis. The demands of the transportation for
cogeneration customers are to be added to existing system
demands to arrive at the Adjusted System Demands on line 11.
If, for instance, the demands of the cogeneratoos amount to
100 mW, the total annual demand of 1,200 mW would be set
forth on Exhibit C, Sheet 1. This 1,200 mW added to system
demands of 2,778 mW results in adjusted system demands of
3,978 mW on line 11 of Exhibit C, Sheet 1. Assuming no
change in the cost of contracted services or in lieu
payments, the monthly demand rate for transportation for
cogeneration would be $6,348 divided by 3,978 or $1.60 per
kW.
In developing this methodology of designing rates for
transportation for cogeneration we were very much concerned
with the need to be consistent in the treatment of sales and
transportation customers. The transportation is to be on a
firm basis and the rate for such transportationshould be
comparable to rates for sales, less the energy increment.
This principle has been followed at the FERC in both gas and
electric cases. In gas cases the Commission routinely
approves rates for transportation services by subtracting
the gas component from comparable sales rates. Similiar
procedures are followed in electric rate cases. When
designed in this manner, the rates for transportation for
cogeneration will recover revenues that will go toward
reducing the sales rates to all customers, including the
rates charges for sales to the cogeneration customers. The
increased markets resulting from the transportation for
cogeneration will thus not be a burden to other customers on
-24-
the system, under the proposed rate design.
We have also determined that it is appropriate to
develop rates for transportation for cogeneration on a fully
allocated basis, to avoid making a distinction for
cogeneration customers. We have never made a distinction
among services or customers based on the date of institution
of service. Also, Vernon's system was designed and is
operated as an integrated system. We have thus felt that it
is unreasonable to attempt to develop rates for any service
on the basis of a segment of the system.
.4. Comparison of ratemaking at the FERC with the CPUC
There are various differences in the rates as set by
the FERC as compared with the rates as set by the CPUC,
which makes it necessary to carefully study the situations
existing at any point in time when comparing the levels of
Vernon's rates with the levels of Edison's rates. While it
is generally possible to reconcile these diffenences so as
to arrive at meaningful conclusions, care should be taken to
consider all the important differences involved. This
requires a great deal of work, however, and considerable
knowledge of the rate making process. Some of these
differences are as follows:
a. With respect to the energy cost adjustment clauses,
Edison is required to track changes in the cost of
energy on a monthly basis at the FERC while the
CPUC provides for less frequent changes, and
requires that any under or over collections be
retained in a deferred account.
b. There is a fundamental difference between the
methodologies used by the FERC and the CPUC in the
processing of general rate increases. The CPUC
will analyze a rate proposal in detail prior to
allowing it to become effective. The rate that
-25-
does become effective is final and there will be no
refunds. The FERC, on the other hand, will allow
an increased rate to become effective, without much
analysis, but may require substantial refunds
later. Vernon, for instance, has refunded to its
that Edison
of an order in
an Edison
customers approximately $5 million
refunded to Vernon under the terms
Docket No. 76 -205 with respect to
wholesale increase in 1976.
c. Other differences exist with respect to the timing
of general rate increases. At the retail level,
one huge rate increase became effective on
January 1; 1983 and another is to follow on
January 1, 1984. At the wholesale level one rate
increase became effective June 2, 1982 and another
is to become effective on or shortly after
January 7, 1984. Both of these rate increases will
be subject to refund.
d. Edison has filed surcharges to its retail rates to
reflect the cost of SONGS 2. The surcharges (MAABF
and AMAR) became effective on in- service Date of
SONGS 2 to reflect this unit. Surcharges for the
other units will follow. With respect to the
wholesale rates, however, the cost of major new
facilities may be included in the rates only during
major rate increase filings.
12/6/83
IX. THE ENERGY COST ADJUSTMENT BILLING FACTOR
Vernon's existing rates include a component of
5.185¢ /kWh to recover the cost of Energy purchased from
Edison. These rates also contain an Energy Cost Adjustment
Clause under which Vernon tracks increase and decrease in
the energy component of the cost of its purchases from
Edison by applying an Energy Clause Adjustment Billing
Factor (ECABF) to its kWh sales of energy. Vernon presently
makes changes in its ECABF on a quarterly basis to reflect
the estimated cost of energy for the current period,
adjusted to reflect any over or under collections during the
prior period. This method is working very well and there
appears to be no reason to make substantive changes in such
methodology. All that is necessary is to set forth the
Energy Cost per kWh that is included in Base Rates. As
shown in Exhibit H, the cost of the energy component of
purchases from Edison amounts to 4.3630 /kWh. The existing
base cost of energy from which the ECABF is computed is
5.1850 /kWh, resulting in a decrease of .822¢ /kWh in the base
cost. The change in the base energy rate does not really
change the cost of energy to the customer, of course. It
merely means that more of the cost of energy is to be
collected in the base energy rate and less is to be
collected in the ECABF.
Vernon has made arrangements to purchase interruptible
energy from Nevada Power Company, which may result in
substantial savings in the cost of energy purchases. Any
such savings realized will be flowed- through to the
customers in the ECABF.
12/6/83
IX. PURPA STANDARDS
While Vernon is not subject to the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ( PURPA), this report
nevertheless addresses the various concerns of this
legislation. Sections 111 and 113 of PURPA provide for the
following standards:
1. Cost of Service
2. Declining Block Rates
3. Time -of -Day Rates
4. Seasonal Rates
5. Interruptible Rates
6. Load Management Techniques
7. Master Metering
8. Automatic Adjustment Clauses
9. Information to Consumers
10. Procedures for Termination of Electric Service
11. Advertising
This report has examined all of these standards to
determine what if any action Vernon should take so as to
meet its public service obligations. In some cases we
determined that no action was required because of the nature
of the service area. In the remaining instances we have
concluded that steps taken by Vernon fully meet the
objectives and standards of the legislation.
1. Cost of Service
The Cost of Service Standard provides that the cost of
providing electric service to each class of electric
consumers shall to the maximum extent practicable -
-28-
12/6/83
1. Permit identification of differences in
cost - incurrence for each such class of electric
consumers, attributable to daily and seasonal time
of use of service; and
2. Permit identification of differences in
cost - incurrence attributable to differences in
customer, demand, and energy components of cost.
In prescribing such methods, such State regulatory
authority or nonregulated electric utility shall
take into account the extent to which total costs
to an electric utility are likely to change if --
a. Additional capacity is added to meet peak
demand relative to base demand; and
b. Additional kilowatt -hours of electric
energy are delivered to electric
consumers.
As discussed above, a cost allocation was made to
develop a cost of service for each customer class, using the
best information and techniques available. The rates
proposed herein are based upon the results of this
allocation.
The schedules under which service is rendered to the
larger customers do reflect time of use considerations.
Schedule Nos. A -8 and A -7 provide for an adjustment for
off -peak demand and special contracts have been negotiated
with some customers having the flexibility of operation that
make load management techniques workable.
2. Declining Block Rates
The PURPA Declining Block Rates Standard provides that:
-29-
12/6/83
"The energy component of a rate, or the amount
attributable to the energy component of a rate, charged
by any electric utility for providing electric service
during any period to any class of electric consumers
may not decrease as kilo - watt -hour consumption by such
class increases during such period except to the extent
that such utility demonstrates that the costs to such
utility of providing electric service to such class
which costs are attributable to such energy component
decrease as such consumption increases during such
period."
The rates proposed in this report do not contain
declining blocks in the energy component.
3. Time -of -Day Rates
The Time -of -Day Rates Standard provides: "The rates
charged by an electric utility for providing electric
service to each class of electric consumers shall be on a
time -of -day basis which reflects the costs of providing
electric service to such class of electric consumers at
different times of the day unless such rates are not
cost - effective with respect to such class, as determined
under Section 115(b) ".
As pointed out above, Vernon is extending Time -of -Day
Rates to all customers having demands of 500kW per day or
more. As pointed out in more detail at a later point,
Vernon's sales to smaller customers amount to a relatively
small amount, making it not cost effective to institute
time -of -date rates for these customers.
4. Seasonal Rates
The Seasonal Rates Standard provides: "The rates
-30-
12/6/83
charged by an electric utility for providing electric
service to each class of electric consumers shall be on a
seasonal basis which reflects the costs of providing service
to such class of consumers at different seasons of the year
to the extent that such costs vary seasonally for such
utility."
This report concludes that because of the relatively
small difference between the winter and summer monthly peaks
and the relatively small difference between costs during the
winter and summer periods, that there is little reason to
differentiate costs by season. This is particularly true
because of the rate structure of Vernon's sole supplier,
Edison. Vernon's billing demands upon which demand charges
payable to Edison are based, are set at the level of
Vernon's highest takes during the on -peak and mid -peak
periods of the day, each month. There is no ratchet in
these billing demands. Thus, there is no basis for a
seasonal demand charge.
5. Interruptible Rates
The Interruptible Rates Standard provides that: "Each
electric utility shall offer each industrial and commercial
electric consumer an interruptible rate which reflects the
cost of providing interruptible service to the class of
which such consumer is a member."
The cost savings resulting from interruptible service
has been examined and discussed with potential customers
from time to time in the past, and there is customer
interest in this concept. However, because Vernon purchases
its power and energy from Edison, this concept is feasible
only if Edison makes energy available to Vernon on an
interruptible basis. Vernon has proposed in its testimony
in Edison's FERC rate proceeding, Docket Nos. ER81 -177 and
-31-
12/6/83
ER82 -427, that Edison be required to institute an
interruptible rate for its wholesale customers. If this
effort is successful, Vernon will make such rate available
to its customers where feasible.
6. Load Management Techniques
The Load Management Technique Standard provides that:
Each electric utility shall offer to its electric consumers
such load management techniques as the State regulatory
authority has determined will --
1. be practicable and cost - effective,
2. be reliable, and
3. provide to the electric utility some enhancement in
its ability to manage energy or capacity.
It also provides that: a load management technique
shall be determined, by the State regulatory authority to be
cost - effective if --
a. such technique is likely to reduce maximum kilowatt
demand on the electric utility, and
b. the long -run cost - savings to the utility of such
reductions are likely to exceed the long -run costs
to the utility associated with implementation of
such technique.
As discussed above, Vernon has investigated Time -of -Day
Rates, Interruptible Rates and Special Contracts as a way to
control maximum demands.
These methods are considered to be the most effective
means available of achieving meaningful load management,
because of the nature of Vernon's loads. Vernon, being an
industrial City, has a relatively small number of customers,
-32-
12/6/83
most of which, however, are relatively large. Consequently,
it is feasible to deal with load management on an
individualized basis in areas where there is a potential for
load management. Because of the relative small number of
customers, however, and the limited amount of sales to
smaller customers, it is not economically nor adminis-
tratively feasible to experiment with such techniques as
time -of- use rates for water heating as load management
techniques.
7. Master Metering
The master Metering Standard provides that to the
extent determined appropriate, master metering of electric
service in the case of new buildings shall be prohibited or
restricted. Separate metering shall be determined
appropriate for any new building if --
1. There is more than one unit in such building.
2. The occupant of each such unit has control over a
portion of the electric energy used in such unit,
and
3. With respect to such portion of electric energy
used in such unit, the long -run benefits to the
electric consumers in such building exceed the
costs of purchasing and installing separate meters
in such building.
Because of the nature of Vernon's service area it is
unlikely that this provision will apply in the
foreseeable future, and Vernon has therefore not
adopted a policy in regard to buildings where Master
Metering mmight be an option.
8. Automatic Adjustment Clauses
The provisions of the Automatixc Adjustment Clause
-33-
12/6/83
Standard provides that an automatic adjustment clause
meets the requirements of the standard if --
1. The clause is reviewed at least every four years
by the State regulatory authority at an evidentiary
hearing to insure the clause provides incentives
for efficient use of resources by the utility, and
2. The clause is reviewed at least every two years
by the State regulatory authority at an evidentiary
hearing to insure the maximum economics in those
operations and purchases that affect the rates of
the utility. This review shall include an
examination of the practices of the utility which
relate to the costs included in the clause. In
appropriate cases, an audit of such costs may be
required.
Vernon's rates contain an automatic adjustment clause
which adjusts customer's bills up or down to reflect the
actual costs of fuel and purchased energy. Vernon is not
subject to the jurisdiction of a State regulatory authority
and, consequently, its clause has not received such state
regulatory approval. Vernon's automatic adjustment clause
is, however, similar to clauses of investor -owned systems
that have been approved by state and federal regulatory
agencies. Vernon's automatic adjustment clause is thus
consistent with the intent of the legislation.
9. Information to Consumers
The Information to Consumers Standard provides that
each electric utility shall transmit to each of its electric
consumers certain information regarding rate schedules.
Vernon's program of providing information to its customers
includes all of the necessary rate schedule information.
-34-
12/6/83
10. Procedures for Termination of Electric Service
This Standard provides that no electric utility may
terminate electric service to any electric consumer except
pursuant to procedures prescribed by the State regulatory
authority. Vernon has adopted procedures similiar to those
utilized by privately owned systems, including Edison, that
have been approved by state regulatory agencies.
11. Advertising
The Advertising Standard provides that no electric
utility may recover from any person other than the
shareholders (or other owners) of such utility any direct or
indirect expenditures by such utility for promotional or
political advertising. Vernon does not advertise its
electric service.
CONCLUSION
In our opinion, the rates proposed herein will allow
Vernon to recover its cost -of- service from its customers in
a fair and equitable manner and complies with the intent of
PURPA.

Special Conditions to Add to
Schedule No. PA -2
8. Excess Transformer Capacity: The transformer
capacity in excess of a customer's contract demand
which is either required by the Company because of
the nature of the customer's load or requested by
the customer. Excess transformer capacity shall be
billed at $1.00 per kVA per month.
9. Contract Demand: A contract demand will be
established by the Company, based on applicant's
demand requirements for any customer newly
requesting service on this schedule and for any
customer of record on this schedule who requests an
increase or decrease in transformer capacity in
accordance with Rule No. 12D. A contract demand
arrangement is available upon request for all
customers of record on this schedule. Contract
demand is based upon the nominal kilovolt- ampere
rating of the Company's serving transformer(s) or
the standard transformer size determined by the
Company as required to serve the customer's stated
measurable kilowatt demand, whichever is less and
is expressed in kilowatts.
10. Minimum Demand Charge: Where no contract demand is
involved, the monthly minimum demand charge shall
be computed by multiplying the billing demand by
the demand charge per kilowatt. Where a contract
demand is involved, the monthly minimum demand
charge shall be the greater of:
a. The charge as computed by multiplying the
billing demand by the demand charge per
kilowatt; or
b. A facilities charge of $1.00 per kilowatt of
contract demand.

Procedures for Calculating the
Energy Clause Adjustment Billing Factor
The rate schedules contained herein are to contain, in
addition to the base rates included in the current tariff,
an Energy Clause Adjustment Billing Factor (ECABF) to
reflect changes in the cost of fuel and purchased energy.
The ECABF is to be calculated pursuant to the following
equation:
EC + C
ECABF = e
S
e
Where,
ECABF = Energy Cost Adjustment Billing Factor per Kilowatt
Hour Sold
EC
e
= Estimated Fuel and Energy Costs for the Current
Period
C = Correction for Previous Period's Over or
Under - recovery*
Se = Estimated Kilowatt hours to be sold in Curent
Period
B = Energy Cost per Kilowatt Hour included in Base
Rates = 4.363 cents /kWh
* If the previous period average costs were less than 4.363
cents /kWh, C is negative. If such average costs
were greater than 4.363 cents /kWh, C is positive.
Exhibit H
Sheet 3 of 4
Energy Clause Adjustment Billing Factor
(Continued)
ECA Computation Sheet
Schedule V -1 is attached to provide the computation sheet
for all periods once implementation is completed.
Estimated Energy Costs (ECe)
Items 1 through 3 represent the estimated energy costs which
are to be used iin computing the period's ECA. This is an
estimate of the costs the City expects to incur for the
three month period to which this ECA will apply. It is
comprised only of commodity or energy costs in keeping with
standards only of commodity or energy costs in keeping with
standards established by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission and various state regulatory bodies.
To calculate items 1(a) and 1(b), the City must obtain
estimates from Edison of the kilowatt hours expected to be
sold to the City of Vernon during the period the ECA will be
in effect. Edison must also provide an estimate of the ECA
that they will be charging the City during that period.
Line 2 would be comprised of estimated fuel costs required
to operate the City's generating units. This charge would
be designated on the billing for operating expenses as being
charged to FERC account 547, Fuel. At the outset there will
probably be no cost associated with this line item. However
it will become a factor when the units become operational
once again.
Line 3 represents an estimate of the cost of interruptible
energy to be purchased during the period the ECA will be in
effect.
Correction Factor
Lines 4 through 7 of the computation sheet are used to
calcualte the amount needed to correct for over- or under -
recovery of energy costs in previous periods. Line 4
represents a true -up of the previous period's estimate of
energy costs on Lines 1 and 2. These amounts can be taken
from the billings of Edison both for purchased power and for
fuel used by the Vernon generating units for the appropriate
periods being corrected.
Because there is a delay in the availability of expense and
revenue data for individual months, the period for which a
correction factor is calculated will lag behind by one
month.

I. INTRODUCTION
As reported in the December 1983 Report, on November 8, 1983
Southern California Edison Company (Edison) tendered for filing
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in Docket
No. ER84 -75 a proposed two -step increase in its wholesale rates
for service to Vernon. Edison requested effective dates for the
Step 1 and Step 2 rates of January 7, 1984 and January 8,1984,
respectively. Vernon and the other resale Cities filed protests
with the Commission and requested maximum suspensions of both
steps of this proposed increase. On January 5, 1984 the
Commission issued an order providing for a maximum suspension of
the proposed two -step increase to June 8, 1984. Among other
reasons cited for the maximum suspension, the Commission cited
Vernon's protest:
Vernon alleges, inter alia, that Southern California
Edison (SCE) has included excessive depreciation
expenses, decommissioning expenses, and operation and
maintenance (O &M) expenses; that the company has over-
stated demand projections; and that SCE has claimed an
excessive rate of return. Vernon also challenges the
allocation of costs among customer classes.
In its January 5, 1984 order, the Commission also granted
summary disposition on certain issues, which results in a
reduction in Edison's resale revenue requirements from
$290,835,000 to $289,946,000. Edison filed reduced rates in
February 1984 in compliance with the Commission's January 5, 1984
order. The proposed rates applicable to Vernon as set forth in
the original filing and in the February 1984 compliance filing
are as follows:

II. ELIMINATION OF TWO -STEP INCREASE
The Commission's order suspending Edison's increased rates
until June 8, 1984 also eliminated the two -step approach proposed
by Edison. Edison's total increase will become effective on June
8, 1984. In our December 1983 Report, we proposed a surcharge to
track Edison's Step 2 increase. This will no longer be
necessary, of course, and the revised rates proposed herein will
reflect Edison's total increase and no surcharge will be
necessary.
III. REVISED COST OF SERVICE TO REFLECT
EDISON'S REDUCED RATES
Edison's reduced rates, filed in compliance with the
Commission's Summary Disposition of certain issues, results in a
decrease in the cost of service that we set forth in our December
1983 Report from $75,279,000 to $75,071,000. The various
schedules set forth in our December 1983 Report, including the
rate design schedules and tariff sheets, have been revised to
reflect this reduction in our cost of service.
VI. COGENERATION
At pages 23 - 25 of our December 1983 Report we outlined an
approach for the calculation of transportation demand rates for
cogeneration, but did not recommend precise rates because several
pieces of vital information were missing, and at that time, had
no firm proposals in hand.
In summary, we recommended that monthly transportation demand
rates be computed by dividing the sum of Vernon's fixed costs,
including Contract Services, Miscellaneous Expenses, Operating
Agreement Costs, Depreciation, Return, and Payments in Lieu of
Taxes and Franchises, by the sum of Vernon's system demands. We
did recommend, however, that the Contract Services portion of the
costs be reduced by the amounts pertaining to activities
associated with purchases of power and energy and that Vernon
consider a reduction in the In Lieu payments on an individual
basis.
In that report we noted that the estimated demands for
transportation for the cogenerators would have to be added to
existing system demands to arrive at adjusted system demands for
use in developing rates. We did not make a projection of these
transportation for cogenerators demands, however, and thus merely
computed an "example" demand rate for transportation for
cogeneration customers on Exhibit C, Sheet 2. We have now
entered into a Letter of Intent with Sunlaw Energy Corporation
(Sunlaw) in which Vernon proposes to transport 58,000 kilowatts
per hour for Sunlaw at a rate of $1.006 per kilowatt- month. The
Letter of Intent provides for a charge of 2 mills per kilowatt
hour for interruptible transportation of energy in excess of
58,000 per hour. As part of this Agreement, Vernon reserves the
right to modify the rate after the fifth year by a formula to be
developed by the parties in accordance with the approach
contained in the current Vernon Rate Report.
We have revised Exhibit C, Sheets 1 and 2 to develop a
Transportation demand rate for Sunlaw that reflects the situation
that will exist after Sunlaw transportation begins. We have
revised Sheet 1 of Exhibit C to reflect transportation for Sunlaw
of 58,000 kW. We have revised Sheet 2 of Exhibit C to assume
that none of contracted services relates to transportation. Also
Section 11.1 makes clear that Vernon has reduced its rate in
recognition that Sunlaw's cogeneration project will consume
natural gas as its fuel source and that Vernon will therefore
receive additional franchise fees from Southern California Gas
Co. Sunlaw is also obligated to pay Vernon an equivalent
percentage of the purchase price of alternate fuels which are
consumed in this project. As we indicated in the December 1983
Report, it is appropriate that the City consider a reduction in
the In -Lieu payments on an individual basis. Because of the
additional franchise fee payments to Vernon on the fuel
consumption at this project, we have reflected an 85 percent
discounting of the In -Lieu payments in the calculation of
-4-
transportation rates for Sunlaw. Note that it may be appropriate
to reflect a different discounting in the calculation of
transportation rates for other cogenerators.
The revised transportation rate for Sunlaw computed on this
basis (applicable solely to Sunlaw) would be $1.24. The rate of
$1,006 proposed in the Letter of Intent is somewhat lower than
the calculated rate of $1.24 per kW- month, but is well within the
zone of reasonableness considering the level of precision
attainable in projecting system demands and the need to implement
a rate that will encourage cogeneration in the City of Vernon.
V. MISCELLANEOUS CHANGES IN RATE SCHEDULES
A. Schedule No. TOU -V
The applicability section of proposed Schedule No. TOU -V now
provides that any customer whose monthly maximum demand has
fallen below 500 kW for 12 consecutive months may elect to
take service on any other applicable rate schedule. We now
propose to revise this section to provide that any customer
whose maximum demand has fallen below 450 kW for 12
consecutive months may elect to take service on any other
applicable rate schedule.
B. Schedule No. GS -1
The applicability section of Schedule No. GS -1 now
provides that this schedule is not applicable when in the
opinion of the )tility, the maximum demand may exceed 20 mW.
We now propose that the applicability of Schedule No. GS -1
be made available to customers with maximum demands greater
than 20 mW. We also now propose that the customer charge of
$6.00 per month be eliminated.
C. Schedule No. D.
Schedule No. D is now applicable to domestic farm
service and summer cottage customers. No such customers
exist, or are likely to exist, in the City of Vernon and we
propose that Schedule No. D be revised to eliminate the
mention of this service.
D. Schedule No. A -7
All customers having/monthly requirements of 500 kW or
higher during the last 12 months now have magnetic tape
meters. We therefore propose that Schedule No. A -7 be
withdrawn and customers now purchasing under this schedule
having monthly requirements of 500 kW or more be required to
purchase under Schedule No. TOU -V. Customers having monthly
requirements of less than 500 kW would purchase under
Schedule No. GS -2.
We have not proposed adjustments to the rates for
Schedule Nos. TOU -V and GS -2 to reflect the increase in
service under these schedules resulting from the transfer of
customers from. Schedule A -7. Instead, we have assumed that
the total revenues from the customers transferring from
Schedule A -7 to Schedule Nos. TOU -V and GS -2 will be
approximately the same under those schedules as the revenues
we have projected for Schedule No. A -7. While this
assumption will obviously result in some error, we do not
-6-
have the data with which to make more precise calculations of
rates. The time -of -use billing data that is now available is
limited to the large customers purchasing under Schedule No.
A -8, but data with which we can make a more precise
calculation of billing determinants for the TOU -V and GS -2
customers will be available shortly and adjustments to these
rates can be made at that time, if necessary.
E. Schedule No. TOU -V
The voltage adjustment for Schedule Nos. A -8 and A -7
have applied only to the demand charges. Because energy
losses are associated with transformation, it would be
appropriate to apply the voltage adjustment to the energy
component as well. We have therefore proposed a voltage
adjustment provision for inclusion in Schedule TOU -V that
adjusts both the demand and energy component.
F. Schedule No. GS -2
We have included a power factor adjustment provision and
a voltage adjustment provision in Schedule No. GS -2 because
it will be necessary to apply these provisions to the
customers transferring from Schedule No. A -7. The voltage
adjustment for Schedule No. GS -2 will apply to both the
demand and energy components of the rate.
VI. CHANGES IN THE ENERGY COST
ADJUSTMENT BILLING FACTOR
As set forth in the revised Exhibit H, the Energy Cost of
purchases from Edison under the compliance rates is 4.3850/kWh,
which will be the base cost of energy from which the ECABF is to
be computed. Also, because the meter reading of Vernon's large
customers does not necessarily coincide with the date that Edison
reads Vernon's meters, Vernon's recorded monthly sales sometimes
vary considerably from its recorded purchases. In instances
where there is a substantial difference between recorded sales
and recorded purchases, it would be appropriate to make
adjustments to reflect these differences. A ledger should be
established in which to make entries of positive and negative
adjustments in kWh sales, and adjustments should be made such
that positive and negative adjustments are in balance as of each
November 30. A provision for these adjustments has been set
forth in Exhibit H, Sheet 4 of 4.
VII. ADJUSTMENTS TO VERNON COSTS
Subsequent to the submission of our December Report, Vernon
has prioisedirev(isuibs ,66' uts budget expenditures for the fiscal
year -July 1, 1984 through June 30, 1985, as follows:
000's
December
Report
Contracted Services $ 585
Operating Expenses 2,161
Miscellaneous Expenses 152
Current
Estimate
$1,275
2,640
316
We have therefore reflected the current estimates in the sales
rates proposed herein. We have not reflected the increase in the
miscellaneous expenses in the cost of services used to develop
transportation demand rates for cogenerators. We have, however,
increased the In Lieu payment from $2,300,000 to $2,400,000, and
included 15 percent of the larger amount.

!ttes 1 through 3 represent the estimated energy costs which

ttree month period to which this ECA will apply. It is
comprised only of commodity or energy costs in keeping with
standards only of commodity or energy costs in keeping with
standards established by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission and various state regulatory bodies.
To calculate items 1(a) and 1(b), the City must obtain
estimates from Edison of the kilowatt hours expected to be
sold to the City of Vernon during the period the ECA will be
in effect. Edison must also provide an estimate of the ECA
that they will be charging the City during that period.
Line 2 would be comprised of estimated fuel costs required
to operate the City's generating units. This charge would
be designated on the billing for operating expenses as being
charged to FERC account 547. Fuel. At the outset there will
probably be no cost associated with this line item. However
it will become a factor when the units become operational
once again.

Line 3 represents an estimate of the cost of interruptible
energy to be purchased during the period the ECA will be in

Correction Factor
Lines 4 through 7 of the computation sheet are used to
calcullte the amount needed to correct for over- or under -
recovery of energy costs in previous periods. Line 4
represents a true -up of the previous period's estimate of
energy costs on Lines 1 and 2. These amounts can be taken
from the billings of Edison both for purchased power and for
fuel used by the Vernon generating units for the appropriate
periods being corrected.
Because there is a delay in the availability of expense and
revenue data for individual months. the period for which a
correction factor is calculated will lag behind by one
