APPLICATION FOR SPACE HEATING AND COOLING:

This rate is for permanently-installed geothermal, ground-source, or geo-exchange heat pump systems used for both heating and cooling conditioned space in residences that do not utilize any electric thermal resistive elements.

The geothermal, ground-source, or geo-exchange heat pump system shall be the only source of space heating & cooling for the residence.  The applicant must agree to a home inspection of the heat pump system by the city, or by the city’s agent, to qualify for this reduced rate schedule.

Customers who qualify for this rate schedule are subject to all of the same provisions, requirements, obligations, fees, minimum charges, and regulations as annotated in Logan City’s Electric Service Rate Schedule #1 “Residential Service”, except qualified customers under this rate schedule shall have a “flat” energy rate charged throughout the entire month with a 10% discount below the minimum tier as designated in the current applicable Rate Schedule #1.

Logan City Light & Power Operational Provisions

Rate Schedule 2

1. Authorizes implementation of a Residential Rate Schedule #2 for qualifying residential customers who use geothermal, ground-source, or geo-exchange heat pump systems for their home’s entire heating and cooling needs. This rate will encompass all of the provisions, requirements, and service fees as detailed in Residential Rate Schedule #1, except that the Energy Rate charged will be flat and fixed at 10% below the posted price of the first block rate on Logan City’s Rate Schedule #1 (Residential Service) and will not increase with greater electrical consumption as compared to Rate Schedule #1.  Note, this discounted rate is intended to provide an incentive for customers willing to invest in geothermal, ground-source, or geo-exchange heating and cooling systems which are four or five times more efficient than conventional HVAC systems.  See proposed Rate Schedule #2 as attached Addendum #2.

2. Authorizes the Meter Department to charge kW demand for commercial and industrial customers based upon the increased accuracy of Logan City’s new electronic meters where the actual true kW demand can be identified for each month’s billing period based upon a sliding 15 minute interval, rather than a fixed 15 minute interval as was used by the old mechanical style of meters.

3. Authorizes that henceforth, a minimum of 1% of each year’s fiscal electric rate revenue budget, shall be allocated and applied to investments in the City’s energy conservation programs, demand-side management programs, and procurement of renewable energy resources that are identified to be economically viable having a benefit-cost ratio of 1.0 or greater. In general, the 1% funding level shall be evenly split between conservation programs and renewable energy projects, although the exact funding ratios may be occasionally reapportioned or adjusted to target and take advantage of the best economically viable opportunities, as they may become available, to further promote Logan’s energy independence from fossil-fueled power resources.  However, any such reapportionments or adjustments shall be recommended and approved by both RECAB and the Logan City Power Director prior to authorizing the reallocation.

4. Authorizes implementation of a single year-around rate structure for all commercial and industrial customers as presently exists for residential customers, in lieu of the existing seasonal price changes that have created billing errors and re-programming problems every six months in the past due to the tedious manual processes required to change prices in the utility billing software for commercial and industrial customers.

Logan City Light and Power
Electric Rate Surcharge
Effective July 1, 2006

Purpose

The electric rate surcharge is intended to maintain our financial stability when unexpected events occur which increase energy costs that are outside the control of the Light and Power Department.  The costs that are covered in this surcharge are energy costs for supplying electric power and energy to our customers.  Costs that are not covered under this surcharge include all costs of operation that can be controlled within the department. 

Examples of costs that are included are natural gas prices used for generation of electricity, purchases of electricity through UAMPS that have variability due to market conditions, catastrophic equipment failures of local generation facilities and the cost of other electricity used to supply our needs that has unexpected increases due to market pressures.

Examples of costs that are not to be included in the surcharge include capital construction costs for additions to the electric transmission and distribution system, labor costs, material costs for the maintenance of the system and any other system improvements which could be delayed by management.

Implementation

Each month before the billing cycle begins we will review our power supply costs and compare them to the approved budget.  When an unexpected occurrence in energy markets causes the prices of our energy supply to increase we will calculate the impact of the increase.  We will also attempt to change any variable power supply schedules to offset the increased costs.  When the increased costs cannot be reasonably compensated for, we will implement this surcharge.

The surcharge will be implemented by comparing the total projected MWh’s used by the system and the total cost of providing that energy.  We will then divide the total cost by the total energy to obtain the total unit cost.  The unit costs will be compared and the increased cost will be applied to all MWh’s sold to all customers equally. 

Example:

Projected Cost at Budget Development

July 2006  Budget

Total MWh’s:  45,497   Total Cost:  $2,673,607    Unit Cost:  $58.76 / MWh

New Projection (1^st week of July 2006)

Extreme Heat Wave with temperatures 10 degrees above normal causes prices to soar.

Total MWh’s  48,785   Total Cost:  $2,975,885    Unit Cost  $61.00 / MWh

Surcharge:    $61.00 /MWh  less $58.76  / MWh   =   $2.24 / MWh

In this example a Surcharge of  $0.00224 / kWh   ( or $2.24 / MWh) would be applied to all kWh’s on all bills processed for the month of July 2006.

Reconciliation

For each month that a surcharge is implemented we will reconcile the projected surcharge that was applied to the actual costs of all energy purchased and generated.    Most of the bills are received by the end of the following month.  We will have all costs accounted for and be able to make any needed adjustments to the projected surcharge in the second month following the charge.  For July the actual adjustments will be on the September bill for any discrepancies of projected versus actual costs.  The differential between the projected costs and actual costs will be either credited or added to the surcharge for September.  If no surcharge is needed for September but there is a credit or additional surcharge due from July, the July credit or addition will be applied to the September bill.

Example:

This example assumes that we forecast a total cost of $61.00 /MWH which equals a surcharge of $2.24 / MWH ($0.00224 per kWh).  When the bills were received the actual costs came to $60.50 / MWH.  We would then apply a $74,547 rebate to the September projected kWh’s.  In the following example the $74,547 rebate would be applied to the projected MWh’s for September which would equal a $1.92 / MWh rebate.
