20 A. Energy for the period prior to January 1, 1998,
21 shall be calculated based on the energy usage divided by the
22 number of days in the billing cycle period multiplied by the
23 number of days in the period prior to January 1, 1998, within the
24 billing cycle period.
25 B. Energy for the period after January 1, 1998, shall
26 be calculated based on the energy usage divided by the number of

equipment will be the rated horsepower output of standard rated motors, and the rated
kilovolt-ampere input capacity of other equipment, with each kilovolt-ampere of input
considered equal to one horsepower. Normally such ratings will be based on the
manufacturer's rating as shown on the nameplate or elsewhere but may, at the option of

SUBJECT:
Electric Rates
Last October, City Council adopted electric rate changes that resulted in
savings of over $2 million for Vernon customers. Included in those changes
were the reduction of the base rate and an equivalent change to the Energy
Cost Adjustment calculation to offset the base rate change. With these
changes all Vernon rate schedules became competitive and more accurately
allocated the City's costs in providing electric utility service to the
different customer classifications.
At this time, I recommend further rate changes. The reasons for the proposed
changes are to implement State mandated charges pursuant to AB 1890, to
maintain Vernon's rates as the lowest retail rates in the State, to create
rate certainty and stability for our customers and to reduce administrative
expenses. The proposed changes and their impact on revenue are as follows:
· Public Benefits Charge - Net revenue increase of approximately $1,482,000.
Created a new special condition to implement State mandated charges
pursuant to AB 1890 which requires that 2.85% of net revenue must be
collected from our customers to be used for certain defined public
benefits. This charge will be shown as a separate line item on customer
bi 11 s .
· Public B~nefits Credi~ - Net revenue reduction of approximately $1,482,000.
Created a credit that will directly offset the Public Benefits Charge.
This credit will appear as a separate line item on the bill exactly equal
to the customer's Public Benefits Charge.
· Base Rate Reduction/Energy Cost Adiustment - Net revenue reduction of
.
approximately $1,934,000.
Reduced base rates across the board by .$0.005 per kilowatt-hour and removed
the energy cost adjustment factor from the rate schedules.
, L
'"
.,
· Energy Cost Adiustment Balance - Net revenue reduction of approximately
$400.000.
Wrote off the existing balance associated with the energy cost adjustment
as of December 31. 1997.
The above reconunended. changes result in a decrease of approximately $2.334.000
in net revenue. However. cash flow will be reduced by an additional $1.482.000
due to the new expenses imposed by AB 1890 for a total reduction in cash flow
of $3.816.000 for the Light & Power Department.
Based on the above changes. I recommend that the attached rate schedules be
effective January 1. 1998.
If you have any questions or comments. please contact me. Thank you for your
consideration.
