ORDINANCE ______

AN ORDINANCE relating to the City Light Department; amending Seattle Municipal Code Chapter 21.49 to modify City Light's rate schedules.

WHEREAS, the City of Seattle has negotiated a new franchise agreement with the City of Tukwila which states the terms and conditions under which the City of Seattle shall deliver electricity to customers in the City of Tukwila; and

WHEREAS, the new franchise agreement provides that, in consideration for the City of Tukwila agreeing not to exercise its authority to establish its own municipal electric utility, the City of Seattle shall make payments to the City of Tukwila in amounts equal to certain stipulated percentages of revenue derived from sales of electricity to Tukwila residents; and

WHEREAS, the new franchise authorizes the City of Seattle to set higher rates for Tukwila customers, subject to certain limitations; and

WHEREAS, on November 24, 1999 the City Council passed Ordinance 119747 after a comprehensive rate review, which included separate rates for suburban customers residing outside the Cities of Seattle and Tukwila; and

WHEREAS, the City now intends to establish rates for customers in the City of Tukwila that are based on the terms of the new Tukwila franchise; and

WHEREAS, the City of Seattle intends to review the rates charged to suburban customers in its next comprehensive rate review; and

WHEREAS, SMC 21.49.081 provides that the impact on City Light's revenue requirements of changes in the power rates charged by the Bonneville Power Administration shall be passed through to City Light's customers; and

WHEREAS, City Light has already passed through the impact of past changes in Bonneville power rates by increasing energy charges by $0.0055 per kWh ($0.0028 per kWh for low-income customers), effective October 1, 2001, and by decreasing energy charges by $0.0007 per kWh ($0.0004 per kWh for low-income customers), effective April 1, 2002; and

WHEREAS, Bonneville has announced increases in its power rates that will increase City Light's future revenue requirements in an amount that will require an increase of $0.0008 per kWh in the energy charges for all customer classes except low-income classes, for which the required increase is $0.0004 per kWh; NOW THEREFORE,

Schedule VRC (Variable Rate General Service: City

Schedule VRC is an optional rate schedule for high demand general service provided to customers eligible to be served under Schedule HDC. A customer that chooses this rate schedule may not return to a standard rate schedule for a period of one (1) year after electing this schedule, provided that, should a new rate ordinance which changes Schedule VRC be adopted during this time, the customer may request return to a standard rate schedule upon the effective date of the new ordinance.

At the time a customer elects to take service under Schedule VRC, the customer must choose whether to pay an energy charge as defined in Option 1 DJ-COB or Option 2 DJ Mid-Columbia. After choosing an energy charge option, a customer may not choose a different energy charge option for a period of one (1) year except that, should a new rate ordinance which changes Schedule VRC be adopted during this time, the customer may request a change in energy charge option upon the effective date of the new ordinance or may request return to a standard rate schedule upon the effective date of the new ordinance.

Option 1 DJ-COB

(DJ-COB price in cents/kWh 0.07 cents/kWh) x 1.1562 + 0.15 cents/kWh

The DJ-COB (Dow Jones-California Oregon Border) price is the appropriate peak or off-peak DJ-COB firm price converted to cents per kWh for the day and time period of the consumption. Peak and offpeak periods will be as defined by the DJ-COB price rather than as defined in the Demand Charges section of Schedule VRT or elsewhere in the ordinance codified in this section. In the case that a price is not available for a given day, the average of the preceding and following days' prices will be used. Peak and off-peak prices will be calculated separately via this method.

The DJ Mid-Columbia (Dow Jones Mid-Columbia) price is the appropriate firm peak or off-peak DJ Mid-Columbia price index converted to cents per kWh for the day and time period of the consumption. Peak and off-peak periods will be as defined by the DJ Mid-Columbia price index rather than as defined in the Demand Charges section of Schedule VRT or elsewhere in this section. In the case that a price is not available for a given day, the average of the preceding and following days' prices will be used.
