GES Engineers & Appraisers
• GES is an engineering and appraisal firm specializing in the valuation of special purpose property and consultation services on regulatory matters
• Presenter– Glenn Walker, Principal
![Page 3: April 5, 2006](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681593c550346895dc6785f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Role of GES
GES was retained by the Sacramento County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) to
– Analyze the range of possible economic impacts associated with the annexation
– Review the impact on level of service and reliability resulting from an annexation
![Page 4: April 5, 2006](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681593c550346895dc6785f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
4
Two Questions for theLAFCo to Address
• What is the difference in the expected cost of service to the existing SMUD customers and those in the annexation area that would result from approval by LAFCo?
• What is the difference in the expected level of service to both groups of customers that would result from the approval by LAFCo?

Overview of Presentation• Economic impacts
– PG&E retail rate forecasts for annexation area– SMUD’s cost of service for annexation area
• Acquisition costs including purchase of system from PG&E• Operating costs• Non-bypassable charges
• Level of service and reliability resulting from an annexation
![Page 6: April 5, 2006](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681593c550346895dc6785f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Scope of Review by GES
• Reviewed documents submitted by SMUD and PG&E• Inspected portions of the electric property in the annexation
area• Compared SMUD and PG&E submittals to industry data and
GES experience

Potential Economic Impacts of Annexation
• An increase or decrease in the rates for existing SMUD customers• An increase or decrease in the rates for customers in the
annexation area from PG&E retail rates• A reduction in local franchise fee and property tax payments due to
SMUD’s not-for-profit structure• A reduction in state and federal income taxes due to SMUD’s not-
for-profit structure
![Page 9: April 5, 2006](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681593c550346895dc6785f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Mitigation by SMUD Board of Directors
• Surcharge for annexation area to mitigate any rate impact to existing SMUD customers
• SMUD rates in the annexation area will be 2% less than PG&E’s retail rates at the time of annexation and include a surcharge to recover annexation expenses
• Local communities will be compensated for franchise fee and property tax payments no longer being made by PG&E
![Page 10: April 5, 2006](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681593c550346895dc6785f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Measure of Economic Impacts
• Calculation of $/kWh Impact
start: PG&E Retail Rates ($/kWh)
less: SMUD Cost of Service ($/kWh)
equals: Total Economic Impacts ($/kWh)
![Page 11: April 5, 2006](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681593c550346895dc6785f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
PG&E Retail Rates• Based on cost of service principle and
established by rate proceedings before the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
• Based on cost of providing service state-wide• Rates include
– Return on and of prudently invested capital– Reimbursement for prudently incurred operating costs
• Power supply costs• Operating and administrative costs• Franchise fee and property tax payments• Non-bypassable charges• Income taxes
![Page 12: April 5, 2006](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681593c550346895dc6785f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
SMUD Cost of Service
• Based on cost of providing service in the annexation area• Cost of service includes
– Debt service associated with acquisition– Power supply costs– Operating and administrative costs– Franchise fee and property tax payments– Non-bypassable charges
![Page 13: April 5, 2006](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681593c550346895dc6785f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
SMUD Cost of Service Advantages over Investor-Owned Utilities
• SMUD is a not-for-profit entity with no shareholder equity requirements
• SMUD can use tax-exempt debt• Avoidance of income taxes• Synergies created by annexing the
proposed territory into SMUD’s existing service areas

Valuation Theory Applicableto Purchase Price
• Regulated assets are valued for purposes of establishing rates at original cost less regulatory depreciation (net book value)
• Appraisers value assets by using the cost, sales comparison, and income capitalization approaches
![Page 19: April 5, 2006](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681593c550346895dc6785f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Summary of Cost Approach
• OCLD typically sets the floor of value– SMUD: $86 million– PG&E: $129 million
• RCNLD typically sets ceiling of value– SMUD: $133 million– PG&E: $516 million
![Page 20: April 5, 2006](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681593c550346895dc6785f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Summary of Sales Comparison Approach
• Typically applied using a ratio or other unit of comparison– Sale price / EBITDA– Sale price / net book– Sale price / customer
• Range of value using this approach– $70 million to $140 million for property in the annexation area
![Page 21: April 5, 2006](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681593c550346895dc6785f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Summary of Income Capitalization Approach
• Income approach measures economic potential of property using the following formula:
• Range of value using this approach– $60 million to $79 million for property in the annexation area(R)Rate
(I)Income(V)Value
