Subject: ELECTRIC RATE ORDINANCE FORALTERNATIVE MARITIME POWER

SUMMARY

The Department of Water and Power (DWP; Department) Board of Commissioners (Board)requests approval of DWP Resolution No. 013055, and draft Ordinance, to modify the existingElectric Rate Ordinance No. 168436, adopted by the Board on September 12, 2012, providing anElectric Vehicle (EV) Service Rider and Experimental Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)Interruptible Rate Schedule. DWP states that implementation of the proposed Ordinance isintended to support the use of electric vehicles and to encourage the electrification of large cruiseships and qualifying merchant ships docking at the Port of Los Angeles (POLA). Specifically, theproposed Ordinance will 1) continue existing rate discounts and offer new incentives for thecharging of electric vehicles, and 2) offer an experimental electric rate for qualifying ships dockingat the POLA. City Council approval is required pursuant to Charter Section 676(a). City Attorneyhas approved the proposed resolution and draft Ordinance as to form and legality.

The attached City Attorney Report No. R12-0300, dated September 18, 2012, notes the draftOrdinance shall not become effective until the associated Incremental Electric Rate Ordinance,which adds charges to the charges of corresponding rates prescribed in any other effective DWPElectric Rate Ordinance, also becomes effective. This Ordinance was approved by Council onOctober 2, 2012.

EV Service Rider

Residential and Commercial customers with time-of-use meters currently receive a discount of2.5 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) for EV charging up to 500 kWh per month during Base Periodrates at night and on weekends. However, this limited incentive may not adequatelyaccommodate the battery charging needs of customers with more than one EV, EV fleets, largeelectric trucks, or electric buses. Furthermore, participating customers with time-of-use meterscurrently incur a monthly service charge fee for the Time-of-Use Service which diminishes therate discount for EV charging.

The proposed EV Service Rider continues the existing 2.5 cents per kWh rate discount andprovides new incentives to use a dedicated meter for EV charging. Additionally, the 2.5 cents per

kWh discount is applied to all power consumed, without the 500 kWh per month limit that iscurrently in effect, for vehicle charging during Base Period rates at night and on weekends.Shifting the demand for EV charging to Base Period rates also benefits the Department since thepower system's energy is available at a lower cost during the period.

The EV Service Rider includes a demand response component that allows the DWP to remotelyinterrupt any dedicated electric vehicle charger during high system usage, power shortages,emergencies, and other power system contingencies. Furthermore, it provides an option to havea dedicated time-of-use meier for EV charging that is separate from other energy usage meters.DWP does not charge customers for the separate meter; although, a minimum monthly charge often dollars per month is required and will be credited to offset the usage charges of the separatemeter. As an example, a customer that consumes $12 per month in energy for EV charging willbe billed $12 for energy usage and not incur the monthly minimum charge. Conversely, acustomer that consumes $3 per month in energy for EV charging will be billed $3 for energyusage and an additional $7 to meet the minimum charge of $10 per month.

Experimental Schedule AMP Interruptible Rate Schedule

The proposed Experimental Schedule AMP Interruptible Rate Schedule provides qualifying shipsthat dock at the POLA with partially interruptible electric service for electrification of theiroperations while in port. This allows the ships to pursue compliance with State of Californiamandates for air quality improvement. Similar to the EV Service Rider, this rate schedule includesa demand response component that allows for an interruption in service during high systemusage, power shortages, emergencies, and other power system contingencies.

Qualifying ships are limited to those with maximum demand of not less than seven MW per monthand include both cruise and merchant ships. DWP states that the proposed AMP schedule setsan energy price range, which will attract mega-ships to the POLA, yet recovers the cost to servethese high electrical loads. The proposed AMP schedule will be effective for five years, unlessterminated earlier, which will allow the DWP to study electricity usage patterns and additionalopportunities to promote services, while also promoting business at the POLA, reducing airpollution, and expanding DWP service.

The above-mentioned aspects of the proposed Ordinance, and this report, are based uponinformation received from the Department subsequent to the initial request submittal.

OFFICE OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY STATEMENT

The Office of Public Accountability completed a review and supports approval of the proposedElectric Vehicle Service Rider and Experimental Alternative Maritime Power Interruptible RateSchedule.

CAO File No. PAGE0160-01560-0000 3

RECOMMENDATION

That the Mayor and Council approve Resolution No. 013055 and draft Ordinance, to modify theexisting Electric Rate Ordinance No. 168436, providing i) an Electric Vehicle Service Rider and ii)an Experimental Alternative Maritime Power Interruptible Rate Schedule.

FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT

Approval of the proposed modification to the Electric Rate Ordinance No. 168436 is estimated toprovide the Power Revenue Fund with approximately $2.9 million annually in net sales for every10,000 electric vehicles; and approximately $1 million to $2 million annually from theelectrification of ships at the Port of Los Angeles. The proposed Ordinance complies with theDepartment's adopted Financial Policies. Approval of the proposed resolution will have no impacton the City's General Fund.

TIME LIMIT FOR COUNCIL ACTION

The City Attorney advises that there is no time limitation for items approved by ordinance.

WHEREAS, the current Schedule AMP encourages electrification of merchant ships,which consume energy while in the POLA; and

WHEREAS, cruise ship electrification power consumption requirements while at thePOLA are significantly different than those of container liners due to the nature of theirbusinesses; and

WHEREAS, cruise ships have high load with short in-port durations; and

WHEREAS, the Experimental Schedule AMP for cruise ships and other qualifyingmerchant ships with maximum demand of not less than seven megawatts per month,containing a monthly minimum charge for each billing period, better suits the operationsand consumption behavior of such ships; and

WHEREAS, the Experimental Schedule AMP allows partial service interruption with tenminutes' advance notice and will be effective for five years unless terminated earlier;and

WHEREAS, electrification of the operations of cruise ships and other qualifyingmerchant ships while docked in the POLA allows these ships to work toward meetingState of California mandates for air quality improvement; and

WHEREAS, electrification of cruise ship operations while in the POLA is expected toreduce air emissions significantly and improve air quality, while also increasing POLAbusiness, improving the local economy; and

WHEREAS, the Department also desires to provide a new Service Rider EV thatencourages customers to embrace electric vehicles and make a sustainable differencein the environment; and

WHEREAS, the proposed new Service Rider EV should be especially useful to supportcustomers with fleets of electric motor vehicles; and

WHEREAS, the proposed new Service Rider EV for electric vehicle charging allows forcharging stations separate from other energy consumption; and

5.: General Conditions

a. Reactive Energy Charge

The Reactive Energy Charge shall be based on the lagging kilovar-hours (kVArh) recorded during each Rating Period, dependent uponthe High Peak Period Power Factor. If reactive energy is unknown orunmetered, then the Reactive Energy Charge shall be replaced byadditional kilowatt-hour charges.

b. Interruptible Service Conditions

To receive service under this rate schedule, POLA shall sign a contractwith the Department, unless the provisions of an exlstinq contractalready executed with the Department incorporate the charges andconditions of this rate schedule.

The interruptible Demand is that portion of the demand which theDepartment will supply to POLA at all times except during a Period ofInterruption for energy usage resulting from Merchant Ships withMaximum Demand of not less than 7 MW per month. During a Periodof Interruption, the Department will supply POLA not more than theFirm Demand,

The Department shall provide not less than 10-minutes' advancenotice of a Period of Interruption even if other applicable ordinances ofthe City of Los Angeles prescribe a longer advance notice period forsuch purpose. A Period of Interruption is that interval of time, initiatedand terminated by the Department, during which the Department isobligated to supply no more than the Firm Demand. A Period ofInterruption will occur when operating reserves, in the Department'ssole judgment, are inadequate to maintain system energy supply.Load interruption shall be initiated remotely by Department LoadDispatchers. Firm Demand, which may be specified at different valuesfor High Season and Low Season, is that portion of demand which theDepartment will supply to POLA without limitation on the periods ofavailability for energy usage resulting from Merchant Ships withMaximum Demand of not less than 7 MW per month,

DRAFT ORDINANCE FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE SERVICE RIDERFOR ELECTRIC SERVICE PROVIDED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER ANDPOWER AND FOR AN OPTIONAL, EXPERIMENTAL RATE FOR CRUISE SHiPS

AND OTHER MERCHANT SHIPS WITH MAXIMUM DEMAND OF NOT LESSTHAN SEVEN MEGAWATTS PER MONTH PARTICIPATING IN THE PORT OF

LOS ANGELES (POLA) ALTERNATIVE MARITIME PROGRAM (AMP) FORELECTRIFICATION OF SHIP OPERATIONS WHILE DOCKED AT POLA

The Honorable City Councilof the City of los Angeles

Room 395, City Hall200 North Spring Streetlos Angeles, California 90012

Honorable Members:

This Office has prepared and now transmits for your consideration the encloseddraft ordinance, approved as to form and legality. This draft ordinance both establishesa service rider to facilitate the use of separate meters for charging of electric vehicles(EV) by customers of the Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles(LADWP) and creates an experimental electric rate for cruise ships and other qualifyingmerchant ships with maximum demand of not less than seven (7) megawatts permonth, which will be an option to the rate prescribed in the existing Schedule AMP Portof Los Angeles Alternative Maritime Power (Schedule AMP) of Electric Rate OrdinanceNo. 168436, as amended (Electric Rate Ordinance). The proposed experimental AMPrate will last for five (5) years unless terminated earlier. This draft ordinance shall notbecome effective until the associated draft incremental electric rate ordinance, whichadds charges to the charges of corresponding. rates prescribed in any other effectivelADWP electric rate ordinance, also becomes effective. .

The Honorable City COUl

of the City 01< Los AngelesPage 2

In 2008, the City Council approved electric rate restructuring that includedSchedule AMP, a rate that was applicable to services with energy usage resulting frommerchant ships participating in the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) Alternative MaritimePower (AMP) program. AMP-equipped vessels docked at POLA plug into shore sideelectrical power, which assists POLA in its efforts to improve air quality and meet Statemandates. Seventy-five percent of energy consumed by AMP services must be frommerchant ships, ships consuming electricity while docked at POLA. To receive serviceunder Schedule AMP, POLA has a contract with LADWP. LADWP may remotelyinterrupt any AMP load with thirty minutes' advance notice to POLA when operatingreserves, in the sale judgment of LADWP, are inadequate to maintain system energysupply. LADWP shall determine the interruption duration. During a period ofInterruption, LAOWP is still obligated to provide a minimum level of electrical service, or .firm demand, as set by contract.

Due to desires to study electricity usage patterns and additional opportunities topromote LADWP services, to promote business at the POLA, to help reduce airpollution, and to expand LADWP load, LADWP is proposing an optional, experimentalrate for cruise ships and other qualifying merchant ships with maximum demand of notless than seven (7) megawatts per month. This experimental rate will expire five (5)years from its effective date unless terminated earlier. The experimental rate isdesigned to address the operations of cruise ships and other merchant ships of similarsize. These ships tend to have power consumption requirements while at POLA thatare Significantly different than those of container liners due to the nature of theirbusinesses and often have short in-port durations. Consequently, a major componentof the proposed experimental rate is a monthly minimum charge. POLA may elect toreceive service for a cruise ship or other qualifying merchant ship either as prescribed inthe experimental rate schedule or as prescribed by the combination of other applicablerate schedules from any other effective ordinances of the City of Los Angeles, includingthe existing Schedule AMP and the proposed draft incremental electric rate ordinance.One difference between the experimental AMP rate and the existing Schedule AMP isthat LADWP may remotely interrupt any AMP load under the experimental AMP ratewith ten minutes' advance notice to POLA Also, the experimental rate clarifies that,until LADWP controls the equipment required for remote interruption, LADWP may electto initiate remote interruption of AMP load through a telephone call, text messagetelephone call or e-mail message.

The existing Electric Rate Ordinance allows for bill discounts for charging ofelectric vehicles based on the block of energy designated by LADWP as necessary forbasic EV charging. To further encourage the use of electric vehicles, LADWP isproposing a service rider for electric vehicle charging to provide new incentives to itscustomers that use an electric vehicle meter dedicated to measuring consumption for

The Honorable City Caul '.of the City of Los Angeles

electric vehicle charging. This EV service rider is applicable to both passenger cars andfleet vehicles and allows for charging stations separate from other energy consumption,

If a customer elects the Separately-Metered Time-of-Use Rate, the proposedrider encourages charging during the Base Period, 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. weekdaysand all day on weekends, by giving a discount of $0.025 per kilowatt-hour for energyconsumed during this period for electric vehicle charging instead of giving the blockElectric Vehicle Discount detailed in the applicable schedule of the existing Electric RateOrdinance. Additionally, the Service Charge of the applicable schedule of the existingelectric rate ordinance will be waived for the service under the Separately-MeteredTime-of-Use Rate. An alternative EV rate is also available for separately-meteredelectric vehicle charging under the proposed service rider. A demand responsecomponent is also part of the proposed EV service rider. A meter with remotedisconnection capability will be provided to the customer by LADWP so that LADWPmay, in its sale discretion, remotely interrupt any dedicated electric vehicle chargercircuit during periods of high system peaks, low generation, high market prices, unusualtemperature and system contingencies.

Summary of Ordinance~provislons

Charter Section 676(21) provides that rates for electricity shall be fixed by theBoard from time to time as necessary, subject to approval by the Council. Approvingthis ordinance will establish the electric rates as described above.

Council Rule 38 Referral

This draft ordinance has been approved by the Board of Water and PowerCommissioners pursuant to Council Rule 38,
