Background:
The Resource Adequacy (RA) provisions of the California Independent System Operator’s
(CAISO) tariff require the Scheduling Coordinator (SC) of a Load Serving Entity (LSE), such
as the City of Vernon, to establish and submit the following information upon approval from
its Local Regulatory Authority:
(1) Coincident Peak Demand Forecast for its load,
(2) Planning Reserve Margin,
(3) Qualifying Capacity Criteria that will be used for determining qualifying resource types
and the Qualifying Capacity from such resources,
(4) an annual/monthly RA and supply data, and
(5) a list of resources used to satisfy the LSE’s Local Capacity Requirement and Flexible
Resource Adequacy Capacity Requirement.
Staff has prepared the attached “City of Vernon Public Utilities Department’s Resource
Adequacy Plan for Calendar Year 2023,” which is consistent with the CAISO Tariff
requirements. The following is a discussion of each of the CAISO Tariff requirements and how
the City will meet each requirement.
Coincident Peak Demand Forecast:
Vernon’s municipal load resides within the CAISO control area. The CAISO, as the balancing
authority, has the responsibility for meeting reliability criteria established by the Western
Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC). As such CAISO has entered into agreements with
various market participants, Generators, Scheduling Coordinators, Participating Transmission
Owners, Utility Distribution Companies, and Metered Subsystems (MSS), which impose
certain responsibilities on parties to establish a reliable system. One of those responsibilities
is to have operating reserves that meet the WECC minimum requirements.
The CAISO’s goal in considering reserve requirements is to balance available capacity with
demand across the entire CAISO control area, and therefore, CAISO’s primary concern is with
the time and amount of peak demand on the CAISO controlled transmission system (the
“system peak”). In order to reduce demand during the period of the system peak (and therefore,
Resolution No. 2022-35

3
to lower the peak demand on the transmission system), utilities generally offer retail rate
structures designed to encourage load shifting away from the on-peak period. Such efforts are
intended to achieve on-peak demand reduction and lower the need to build new generation to
meet peak demand. Vernon has adopted a rate structure that has successfully shifted the peak
demand period for Vernon’s system to a time that is generally earlier than the time of the
CAISO system peak.
Vernon’s share of the capacity needed to meet CAISO’s control area capacity requirements
may be established by determining the amount of Vernon’s load that contributes to the CAISO
system peak. Vernon’s load that contributes to the CAISO system peak is the City of Vernon
coincident peak Demand. The process to establish Vernon’s monthly coincident peak Demand
Forecast consists of the following three steps:
1. Establish Monthly Vernon System Peak Demand Forecast for 2023
To establish the City of Vernon’s system peak demand forecast, Staff performs an analysis
on annual changes in the City’s energy demand peaks during a five-year period. Based on
the results of the analysis, Staff forecasts a load growth rate for the upcoming calendar year
(Exhibit 1). This year’s analysis the City of Vernon’s system peak demand increased and
decreased year over year between 2018 and 2022. Closer review of Exhibit 1 reveals that
the growth rate from 2021 to 2022 decreased by 3.58%. Based on the current load trend
and recent years of inconsistencies, Staff concluded no load growth adjustment is an
appropriate forecast for calendar year 2023. Exhibit 2 shows the determination of the
projected system peak demand for 2023 based on no load growth adjustment. The
projected system peak demand for the City of Vernon is shown below in Table 1.

2. Establish Coincidental Peak Factor
The coincidental peak factor is the percentage of the City of Vernon’s energy demand at
the time of the CAISO system peak demand. As set forth in Section 40 of the CAISO
Tariff, the coincidental peak factor for each month has been calculated and provided to the
City annually by the California Energy Commission (CEC). The monthly coincidental
peak factor is shown in column C of Exhibit 3.
3. Calculate Monthly Coincident Peak Demand Forecast
The City of Vernon’s Coincident Peak Demand forecast is calculated as the mathematical
product of the City of Vernon’s forecasted System peak demand and the coincidental peak
factor. This reflects the City of Vernon’s projected demand at the time of the CAISO
system peak demand for each month. The monthly Coincident Peak Demand Forecast is
calculated and listed in column D of Exhibit 3 for the period of January through December
2023. It is also shown below in Table 2.

Planning Reserve Margin
The Planning Reserve Margin is the amount of Resource Adequacy Capacity that an LSE must
maintain above its coincident peak Demand Forecast. Historically, the City of Vernon has
established its Planning Reserve Margin at 15%. Staff recommends that the City Council
maintain the Planning Reserve Margin at 15%. The 15% Planning Reserve Margin is used to
establish the monthly Resource Adequacy obligation for the City of Vernon as listed in column
E of Exhibit 3.
Qualifying Capacity:
A Load Serving Entity must provide the CAISO with a description of the criteria that will be
used to determine the type of resources that can be used to meet its capacity obligation and the
amount of capacity (Qualifying Capacity) from such resources. Historically, Vernon has used
the following criterion to determine whether a resource qualifies: It qualifies if Vernon has a
contractual right to the power or has an interruptible service agreement with a customer. The
seven following resources are among those that meet this criterion and provide Qualifying
Resolution No. 2022-35

Capacity. The calculation for the amount of Qualifying Capacity for the seven eligible
resource types are as follows:
1. CAISO IST-enabled Product. Power supply contract/s entered through WSPP
Agreement (MRTU Amendment) and defined as any SC-to-SC traded product for
which an IST (Inter-SC Trades) can be submitted and for which CAISO will make
payment or issue an invoice, including Energy, Tier I IFM Bid Cost Recovery
Obligations and Ancillary Service Obligation trades, as each defined in the Tariff.
2. Palo Verde. Vernon Purchase Power Contract with SCPPA for 4.9% of SCPPA’s share
of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (Palo Verde) shall be eligible as Qualifying
Capacity. The power is scheduled as an import generally at Westwing Substation
through the CAISO’s entitlement of transmission from Westwing to SP-15.
3. Boulder Canyon. Contract NO 16-DSR-12650 between United States Department of
Energy Western Area Power Administration Boulder Canyon Project and City of
Vernon, California for Electric Service shall be eligible to count as Qualifying
Capacity. The power is scheduled as an import at Mead Substation generally through
the CAISO’s entitlement of transmission from Mead Substation to SP-15. The amount
of Qualifying Capacity will be based on the most current schedule for the available
capacity from the Boulder Canyon Project at the time of submittal of the Resource
Adequacy Plan.
4. Vernon Units. Generating units and system units (excluding Vernon diesel generating
units) within Vernon’s MSS, including the Malburg Generating Station and the City
owned H. Gonzalez units, as reflected in Schedule 14 of Vernon’s MSS Agreement
with CAISO shall be eligible to count as Qualifying Capacity. The amount of
Qualifying Capacity of such units shall not exceed the Net Qualifying Capacity (NQC)
as determined and listed annually by the CAISO.
5. Long Term Power Purchase Contracts. Long term power supply contracts (5 years or
greater) entered through a power purchase agreement shall be eligible to count as
Qualifying Capacity. The amount of Qualifying Capacity will be based on the City of
Vernon’s percentage share of the Net Qualifying Capacity of each contract. For the
upcoming year, the following contracts will count as Qualifying Capacity, Antelope

DSR 1 Solar Project, Astoria 2 Solar Project and Puente Hills Landfill Gas-To-Energy
Facility.
6. Other Units. All other capacity from a Participating Generator, a System Unit, or a
System Resource, as defined in the CAISO Tariff, shall be eligible as Qualifying
Capacity. System Resources, however, must be located in the CAISO control area or
have a firm transmission path from source to the CAISO control area. Such criteria for
firm transmission facilities over the CAISO control area can be satisfied with the
possession of a firm transmission right from the CAISO on the path associated with the
System Resource. Firm transmission rights provide physical priority right to schedule
over congested paths.
7. Interruptible Service Agreements. Interruptible Service Agreements with the City’s
Electrical customers. Currently Vernon has an Interruptible Service Agreement where
the customer agrees to interrupt up to 27 MW of load within a 30-minute notification.
A period of interruption can occur upon notification from the Independent System
Operator (ISO) requiring the City to shed load or upon the unscheduled outage of the
Malburg Generating Station (MGS) or any other generating unit internal to the City’s
system.
Local Capacity Area Resources:
In accordance with Section 40.3 of the CAISO Tariff, CAISO annually publishes a Local
Capacity Technical Study that determines the amount of local capacity needed in the Los
Angeles Basin area that must be available to the CAISO. Based on the Local Capacity
Technical Study, the CAISO allocates responsibility for Local Capacity Area Resources to the
Scheduling Coordinators of the LSEs. The CAISO validates that the Scheduling Coordinator
list enough local resources in its Resource Adequacy data templates to satisfy its obligation.
Staff has prepared the Resource Adequacy data templates (Exhibit 4) which lists the Resource
Adequacy Resources including the Malburg Generating Station, Puente Hills Landfill Gas-To-
Energy Facility and the City owned H. Gonzalez units that will be counted on to satisfy the
Local Area Capacity requirement for the City of Vernon. Additionally, any Interruptible
Service Agreements with the City’s electric customers shall count towards the City’s Local
Capacity’s requirement.

Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity:
In accordance with Section 40.10 of the CAISO Tariff, CAISO annually conducts a study to
determine the Flexible Capacity Need for the CAISO Balancing Authority Area for each month
of the next calendar year and provides the results of the study to each Local Regulatory
Authority in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. Flexible resources are resources with the
potential to ramp up and down quickly and have the capability to start and shut down multiple
times per day. The need for flexible capacity is a result of the CAISO managing a “greener”
grid. The increase of variable energy resources and distributed generation has presented
significant challenges to grid reliability. These types of resources are projected to continue to
increase in the future which will create an increase in supply and load variability and
unpredictability within the CAISO system. In order for the CAISO to efficiently operate the
grid, it needs measures to ensure that flexible resources are economically bid into the CAISO
markets and as a result optimally dispatch them.
The CAISO study calculates the total system amount of Flexible Capacity needed for each of
the three Flexible Capacity categories: (1) Base ramping flexibility; (2) Peak ramping
flexibility; and (3) Super-peak ramping flexibility. Section 40.10.3 of the CAISO Tariff sets
the criteria needed by resources to qualify for each category. For the Calendar Year 2023, the
CAISO has determined the system-wide Flexible Capacity needs and has notified each LSE
their monthly requirement. Exhibit 6 lists the City’s Flexible Capacity requirement by month
and category. Furthermore, the CAISO has established the Effective Flexible Capacity for
each resource and the category of Flexible Capacity each resource will qualify for the
upcoming compliance year. For Calendar Year 2023, the CAISO has established 99 MW of
category 1 base ramping flexible resources adequacy capacity for Malburg Generating Station,
and 5.75 MW category 1 base ramping flexible resource adequacy capacity for H. Gonzales
Units (Exhibit 7). CAISO Tariff Section 40.10.5.1 requires the Scheduling Coordinators of
LSEs to identify the resources it will rely on to satisfy its Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity
on both the annual and monthly Resource Adequacy data templates.
Staff has prepared the Resource Adequacy data templates (Exhibit 4) which lists the Resource
Adequacy Resources including the Malburg Generating Station and the City owned H.

Gonzalez units that will be counted on to satisfy the Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity
requirement for the City of Vernon.
Annual and Monthly Resource Adequacy and Supply data:
The CAISO Tariff requires that the scheduling coordinator of a load serving entity provide an
annual and a monthly Resource Adequacy Plan (Section 40.2.2.4) using the required templates
and submitted on the set schedules. Furthermore, the scheduling coordinator of a resource
providing resource adequacy must submit both an annual and monthly Supply Plan (Section
40.4.7.1) using the required templates and submitted on the set schedules. Staff asks that City
Council adopt the following two requirements for both the annual and monthly submittals:
1. Annual: submittals must demonstrate that 90% of the forecasted coincident peak
demand plus planning reserves margin and flexible resource adequacy requirement has
been secured; and 100% of the total local resource adequacy requirement has been
secured.
2. Monthly: submittals must demonstrate 100% of the forecasted coincident peak Demand
plus planning reserves margin, flexible resource adequacy requirement and local
resource adequacy requirement has been met. Data on the monthly plans may be
adjusted for seasonal variations in the City’s load or changes in its contracted/owned
resources.
Therefore, as required by the CAISO, the City of Vernon, as a load serving entity and a
scheduling coordinator for resource adequacy resources, must submit a Resource Adequacy
and Supply Plan on the set schedules. Staff has prepared the Annual Resource Adequacy
(Exhibit 4) and Supply data (Exhibit 5) for calendar year 2023. Staff will submit the monthly
Resource Adequacy and Supply data to the CAISO as they become due. The data to be
submitted on the monthly plans will demonstrate that 100% of all requirements have been met
and may be adjusted from the annual Resource Adequacy and Supply Plan for seasonal
variations as well as load and resource changes. The monthly plan is due to the CAISO 45
days prior to the beginning of the month.
