Dear Mr. Somoano:
Letter of Agreement
After discussion between our respective staffs, it was agreed that there be an enabling
agreement between the City of Seattle, City Light Department (Seattle) and the City of
Vernon, Light and Power Department (Vernon) for the exchange or sale of energy. This
Letter of Agreement (Agreement) is to confirm arrangements and conditions relating to this
exchange or sale of energy between Seattle and Vernon.
1. This Agreement provides for exchange or sale, by Seattle or Vernon of such energy as
each party determines is surplus to its needs. Such energy is interruptible and
schedules may be terminated or curtailed, with as much notice provided as possible, at
the discretion of either party.
2. All transactions carried out under this Agreement will be in accordance with normally
accepted utility practice, for scheduling, accounting, billing and payment.
3. Delivery of energy pursuant to this Agreement shall be at the points of interconnection
mutually agreed to by the parties' schedulers or dispatchers. Seattle shall be
responsible for all transmission charges and losses required to provide service under
this Agreement to the designated point of interconnection with Seattle. Vernon shall
be responsible for all transmission charges and losses required to provide service from
the point of interconnection to Vernon.
4. Energy scheduled shall be subject to return if notification to that effect is given at the
time the schedule is made. Energy exchange imbalances shall be settled at a time
mutually agreed upon by the parties' schedulers or dispatchers.
5. If energy return is not required, the price of such energy shall be mutually agreed upon
by both parties' schedulers or dispatchers prior to delivery.
