" 1995 SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY AND CERTAIN TRANSMISSION SERVICE CUSTOMERS RELATING TO SCHEDULING AND DISPATCHING CHARGES 1 PARTIES The parties to this Settlement Agreement are Southern California Edison Company ("Edison"), a California corporation; the Cities of Anaheim, Azusa, Banning, Colton, and Riverside, California ("Cities"), California municipal corporations; the City of Vernon, California ("Vernon"), another California municipal corporation; and M-S-R Public Power Agency ("M-S-R"), a joint powers agency created under California law. Where appropriate, Cities, Vernon, and M...S-R will be referred to collectively as the Transmission Service Customers. 2 RECITALS 2.1 Federal Regulation of Edison Edison is an investor-owned public utility doing business in the State of California and renders transmission services for other utilities doing business within and outside of California. Edison provides transmission services pursuant to provisions of the Federal Power Act ("FPA "), as administered by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). 07/OS/9S/POUOS6801119/PLFADSlROA _1.WPI3S866.1 2.2 Proceedings Pending Before FERC Concerning Scheduling and Dispatching Charges Presently pending before the FERC is a proceeding in Docket No. ER95-139, in which Edison has proposed to increase the charges for scheduling and dispatching services ("S&D Charges") which Edison renders pursuant to a number of Transmission Service Agreements with 21 wholesale customers, including the Transmission Service Customers. The S&D Charges are intended to reimburse Edison for the costs associated with the scheduling and dispatching of generating and transmission resources required to serve the needs of the Transmission Service Customers, among others. On November 1, 1994, pursuant to the provisions of the transmission service agreements, Edison submitted its annual revisions of the S&D Charges, to be effective commencing on January 1, 1995. The proposed S&D Charges were based on budgeted investment and expenses for 1995. The exact rate for the services rendered was expressed in terms of a daily use charge of $9.49 per scheduling unit. Edison relied upon the methodology approved by the FERC in Opinion No. 341 (50 FERC '61,138 (1990)) ("Compliance Methodology") for computing its daily use charge. The combined budgeted costs amounted to a total of $4,109,906. Following the issuance by the FERC of a notice of the filing, the Transmission Service Customers filed interventions and protests to Edison's filing. By an order issued on December 30, 1994 (69 FERC '61,440), the FERC accepted for filing Edison's proposed revisions to the S&D Charges, suspended their effectiveness for one day, granted the Transmission Service Customers leave to intervene, and established hearing procedures to investigate the justness and reasonableness of the proposed increase in rates. In keeping with the order of the FERC, Edison, the Transmission Wholesale Customers, and the Commission 2 <T7IOSI95/POUOS6801119IPLEADSlROA_1.WPI35866.1 ..' a.l Trial Staff appeared before the administrative law judge designated to preside over the evidentiary proceeding where the parties agreed upon a procedural schedule togovem any evidentiary presentations. 2.3 Settlement Discussions In an attempt to avoid the burden of an evidentiary proceeding, Edison, the Transmission Service Customers, and the Commission Staff exchanged information and explored the possibility of resolving their differences through settlement of the outstanding issues which were identified as: (1) the inclusion of the cost for personal computers in the Power Resource Scheduling Section and the Energy Control Center (tlECCtI), (2) the annual revenue requirement for investment in the ECC Building, (3) the accounting treatment of payments received from third parties for scheduling and dispatching services, (4) the inclusion of certain costs associated with the dispatching of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, and (5) the inclusion of certain costs of dispatching charges paid to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (tlLADwptI) for the operation of the Pacific Direct Current Intertie at the Sylmar station. The negotiations have resulted in a settlement by Edison with the Transmission Service Customers which is embodied in the terms and conditions of this Settlement Agreement. 3 07/OS/9SIPOU0568OIl19/PLEADSIROA_1.WPI3S866.1 3 AGREEMENT 3.1 Revisions to the November 1, 1994 Filing For the purpose of resolving this proceeding, Edison will revise its proposed rates in the following manner: (1) Edison will credit against FERC Account Nos. 556, 561 and 581, which are used in deriving S&D charges, payments estimated to be made by third parties for scheduling and dispatching costs; (2) Edison will exclude any costs associated with the dispatching the capacity and energy associated with the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station; (3) Edison will exclude from the S&D Charges the annual revenue requirement for the ECC Building; (4) Edison will exclude the costs attributable to the personal computers used at the ECC; and (5) Edison will exclude the costs attributable to the personal computers used by personnel in the Power Resource Scheduling Section. 3.2 Compliance Methodology It is noted that the Compliance Methodology refers to FPC (FERC) Accounts 561, 566 and 581~ This reference should instead be to FPC (FERC) Accounts 556, 561 and 581. 3.3 Other Cost of Service Elements With the exception of the items described in Section 3.1, Edison shall recover the other components which were used to derive the budgeted costs for the 1995 S&D Charges, 4 07/OSI95IPOU0S6801119IPLEADSlROA _1.WPI35866.1 .. "' ... .. including 100% of the dispatching charges paid to LADWP for Pacific Direct Current operations at the Sylmar station. 3.4 Revised Unit Charge Both Edison and the Transmission Service Customers agree that application of the adjustments described in Section 3.1 results in a budgeted cost of $3,577,035 for the scheduling and dispatching activities for 1995, which produces a rate of $8.26 per scheduling unit per day. 3.5 Payment of Refunds Edison shall, within 30 days of the acceptance and approval of this Settlement Agreement by the FERC, without any modifications or conditions unacceptable to any signatory to this Settlement Agreement, refund all amounts collected in excess of the revised charge per scheduling unit per day, with interest computed in accordance with section 35.19a of the FERC's regulations (18 C.F.R. ~35.19a (1995)). 3.6 Revised Cost of Service Edison shall reflect the adjustments agreed upon in Section 3.1 in a revised cost of service which is attached hereto as Appendix A. Such appendix revises the cost of service which was included as Appendix B in the initial filing instituting Docket No. ER95-139-000. 5 07/OS/95/POU0568OII19/PLEADSlROA _1. WPI35866.1 4 TERM OF AGREEMENT This Settlement Agreement shall become effective, following execution by the parties hereto, on the date it is permitted to become effective by the FERC, and shall remain in effect unless terminated in accordance with Section 5.2. 5 REGULATORY APPROVAL 5.1 Filing of Settlement at FERC Edison shall file this Settlement Agreement with the FERC, together with any supporting documents required by the rules of practice and procedure of the FERC, and request that the FERC approve this Settlement Agreement as being just and reasonable and in the public interest. All parties shall use their best reasonable efforts to obtain approval of the FERC for such filing. 5.2 Conditioned Upon FERC Approval In the event that FERC does not by order approve this Agreement without change or condition unacceptable to any party, this Agreement shall be deemed withdrawn by all parties and of no effect. Edison and each of the Transmission Service Customers shall determine and notify the other parties, within 15 days following any FERC order approving this Settlement Agreement subject to change or condition (including, without limitation, an initial FERC order, an order on rehearing, or an order on remand), as to whether any such change or condition is unacceptable to that party. A failure to notify will be the equivalent of a notification of acceptance. 6 07/OSI9SIPOU0S6801119/PLEADSIROA_1.WPI35866.1 6 PROHIBITION AGAINST LITIGATION 6.1 No Litigation in Courts or Governmental Agencies Neither Edison nor any of the Transmission Service Customers shall institute, maintain, or prosecute any action or any claim or contention in any action under the FPA, the Atomic Energy Act, at law or in equity against each other, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or the FERC, or any proceeding or other claim for damages or other relief against each other, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or the FERC, based in whole or in part on the issues settled in this Settlement Agreement or the actions agreed upon by Edison and the Transmission Service Customers. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to a suit or action under any laws, federal or state, including antitrust provisions, price discrimination, or related laws, challenging the terms and conditions of this Settlement Agreement or the rates derived from this Settlement Agreement. 6.2 Waiver of Unknown Claims Edison and the Transmission Service Customers understand and intend that the prohibition described in Section 6.1 extends to claims which either. Edison or the Transmission Service Customers do not know or suspect to exist in either's favor at the time of executing this Settlement Agreement, which, if known by either party, would have materially affected its settlement with the other party. In this regard, Edison and the Transmission Service Customers hereby waive application of California Civil Code Section 1542. 7 07/OSI95/POUOS6801119/PLEADSlROA _1.WPI35866.1 6.3 Acknowledgment of California Code Edison and the Transmission Service Customers have read and understand the following provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. 6.4 Consequences of Wavier Edison and the Transmission Service Customers understand and acknowledge that the significance and consequence of this waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542 is that, even if they should eventually suffer additional damages arising out of the facts referred to in Section 6.2, they will not be able to make any claim for those damages. Furthermore, Edison and the Transmission Service Customers acknowledge that they intend these consequences even as to claims for damages that may exist as of the date of this Settlement Agreement but which they do not know exist, and which, if known, would materially affect their decision to execute this Settlement Agreement, regardless of whether their lack of knowledge is the result of ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or any other cause. 7 NONPRECEDENT AND RESERVATION OF RIGHTS 7.1 No Precedent in Any Proceeding or Litigation None of the principles or the methodologies underlying this Settlement Agreement shall be deemed as binding precedent in any proceeding or litigation except to the extent specifically stated herein.
