service benefits that may be assailable as early ss January, 1998. This opportunity is a result of the
restructuring of the states el is industry mandated by AB 1890.
An outline of the tasks and mule for the program is fisted in Attachment 1. Participation in the
program is not a corraohnItt to purchase pooled power. Each jurisdiction and agency will makethatafter determining its most appropriate course of action.

Issues and Options
The focus will be on pooling electric loads to leverage lower elute costs in the competitive market
created by restructuring. There are a number of issues and options related to this main foals. The
program will be desig red to include all of the important considerations involved, and to answer
'gtrestions such as:
1. Wdi power pooling provide dear cost saving with minimal financial risks?
2. Which electric loads within local governments should be combined?
3. Are there reasons that individual agencies should simply pool their own electric desnands for the
purposes of aggregation, rather than combining with othec-ttrtities7
4. What activities and approaches to —Electric tric Utility Restrtuc'auing and new power purchase options
are public agencies independently exploring, and which types of organirations and groups among
governments, businesses and residents should consider pooling?
S. Should tax provision of ire power pooling servic be provided for interested public
agea,:ez (e.g., odes, county, regional agencies, special districts)?
6. How should power pooling worts be organized and administered?
7. Could power pooling also include, and improve, other arms of electric service such as power
quality, reliablity, energy efficiency, ci=and shifting, metering financing and bs ?
8. What would be the impacts of power pooling on utility -franchise fees and use taxes, and on
uadergrau nduug programs?
9. What phasing of pool sib organ=7ational type and provision of additional services should be
considered?
10. Should natural gas purchasing be considered as an additional benefit to be gained through
pooling efforts?

c) The region'spublic agencies should be -requested to provide svritt

their electric loads to a solicitation -of bids for power and related services fall. This
commitment should not include a commitment to contract for power, because agencies will
want to sec the power prices and related services in the bids before thy make decisions.
The commitment at this point should be firm enough to give potence power suppliers the
-confidence that a San Diego region Power Pool is a serious proposition.

PRINCIPLES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMINISTERING A PUBLIC
AGENCY POWER POOL iN
THE SAN DIEGO REGION
General
- No new bureaucracy should be created, a power pool should be located in an existing
organization.
- The organzation should have the ability to create a decision making structure which
includes all of the agencies involved in the power pooL
Administrative
- The organization should have the capability to staff and administer the power purchase
decision process, and manage (through consultant services) the technical and financial
asps of power purchases and related services.
The organization should minimize administrative effort and cost.
- The organization should maintain flexibility and minimize long term financial
commitments by using consultant assistance where feasible and cost effective, instead of
increasing staff
- All participant members must be protected against financial liabilities of other members.
- All participants should be protected against all _potential liabilities that could arise as a
result of actions by the dectricity supply and service providers.
Contractual
- Contracts with electricity -supply and service providers should require the demonstration
of technical and financial capabilities that will assure reliable, high quality performance.
- acts with electricity supply and service providers should include provisions to
ensure that all products and services are cost -competitive with available alternatives_

MEMORANDUM
City Manager's Office - National City
DATE: November 12, 1996
TO: HonBrable Mayor and Councilmember
FROM: Rosbliearate, Councilmember & Par rs , ACM
RE: ELECTRICITY DEREGULATION
CC: Tom, Curt, Brenda & Terry
We wanted to write this brief background piece to you to provide you with an
overview of this topic. You may recall the attached Union editorial or one of the
several other pieces that have appeared recently. The bill that got all this
started, AB 1890, was signed by the Governor in September, and it is now up to
the PUC to implement it. AB 1890 is clearly landmark legislation which the rest
of the country is watching and which we will be hearing a great deal more about -
not only from a local government standpoint but in our home mailboxes. This
packet is just for your background. No action is necessary.
AB 1890 essentially says that as utility customers, we have a choice in where we
purchase electricity from. We can buy it from our current operator (SDG&E) or
from what is sure to be a rapidly growing list of "aggregators." Aggregators will
package many people together and offer them discounted rates. The electricity
will travel to your home or office in much the same way as it does now - probably
using existing utility company wires and systems. The difference to the customer
will be transparent but they could as well have a lamp that is powered by SDG&E
as by Bonneville Power or the Tennessee Valley Authority. As customers,
whether at home or at work, we will be looking for good pricing and reliable
service.
The economic formulas under which companies will be pricing electricity are
complex. Allowances are made for a phase -in period to allow customers to
come on line with new providers gradually. The major utility companies are
allowed to recover a portion of their investment in nuclear generation facilities.
The PUC must draft rules for this very new area of regulatory law. In theory,
customers may buy power under this new deregulated environment starting in
January, 1998 - at the earliest.
file: 1111ener zlcc
/3
In National City we estimate our total annual municipal gas and electricity
consumption to be in the area of $900,000. Natural gas is already deregulated
and estimates from various groups around the State guesstimate the savings on
electricity anywhere from 5% to 20%. We will only know what, if any, true
savings are available once we start seeing the pricing plans offered by SDG&E
and it's competitors.
Cities around the State and Councils of Government like SANDAG and ABAG
(the Bay Area counterpart) are looking into this issue. Councilmember Zarate
participates in the SANDAG committee that is looking at this. In a number of
regions around the State, groups of cities have formed to research the
possibilities that AB 1890 creates.
We are glad to report that the professional public purchasing managers
association in the county is watching the issue with an eye to what savings can be brought to area cities. Brenda participates in this group. Also, Curt and Terry
are following the issue. As more becomes known about deregulation, it will be
important to have Public Works' expertise as we face the many technical issues
involved in buying power on the open market.
One other development. The City Manager's Office in San Marcos has followed
this issue too. Their City Manager made a presentation last Friday on setting up
a loose cooperative of cities to buy power at discounted rates. A copy of his
presentation is attached if you would like some further reading.
Please keep in mind that this area is very new. There are no rules yet and only a
concept on PUC's part as to how this all is to work in the future. We think that
our best position is for the City Council and for Staff to follow this subject and
watch and understand major developments as they occur. It is not prudent for
us to be on the cutting edge on this issue.
We may end up buying power from SDG&E, at a discount over present rates.
Or, we may opt to buy from another source. As PUC rules and operator pricing
plans begin to be announced, then we can decide on these things. We believe
that our best pricing will likely come from National City being part of a larger
group of cities. Park has some experience with a consortium of cities in Orange
County studying this issue. In their case, they want very much to stay unified
and they are beginning to explore linking up with area schools and large
business consumers (hospitals, factories, etc.,) to collectively buy at deep
discounts as a cooperative. (This sounds much like the San Marcos approach.)
One key to this objective is for the City Council and for Staff to stay together and
not commit to any one provider. If Orange County is any example, we can
expect SDG&E to become extremely agitated at the thought of us buying power
from someone else!

Electric Utility Restruazo-thq
California Electric Utility Restructuring Legislation
• On September 23, 1996, Governor Wilson signed legislation that provides for competition
in the supply of tic power and allows retail custom= to choose their supplier. The
legislation creates a new electricity market structure, authorizes direct transactions betwe=
competing electricity suppliers and retail customers; pwvides equal R. ,-tie to transmission
and distribution se` vices; and estabikho-s a charge to recover the utilities' generation costs
that may become uneconomic as a result of a competitive goon mari=t.
• Utility rates for residential and small commercial customers of investor -owned utilities will
be reduced 10% through 2002. Utility rates for large conunercial and industisal
customers, who remain with the investor -owned utilities, will be frozen at current levels
through Dw.ernber 31, 2001.
• Customer bills will gate the charges for et gy, transmission, distribution, public
benefit programs and recovery of uneconomic costs. Initially, customers who purchase
electricity from compering energy supplier pay the same component charges, other than
energy.
• Beginning January 1, 1998, a phase -in program will permit certain customers to select their
electricity power supPli=- All customers will be allowed to choose their power supplier
no later than January I, 2002. The phase -in schedule will be prepared by the CPUC.
• Aggregation of customer eictric load shall be authorized by the CPUC for all customer
clog%'._ Public agencies can combine their energy requirements to meet the minimum load
requirements. If a public agency seeks to serve as a community aggregator on behalf of
residential customers, it shall be obligated to offer the opportunity to purchase electricity to
all residential customers within its jurisdiction.

Electrical upgrade
Legislature should pass deregulation bill
The plan that emerged this
week for restructuring elec-
tricity sales in California may
have a few weak points, but it
represents a major improve-
ment over the current system and de-
serves passage by the Legislature as is.
A Iegislative conference committee
ironed out a package of bills that will
deregulate electricity sales in Califor-
nia, producing a 20 percent cut in resi-
dential and small-business rates within
six years. Large corporations that are
major energy users will receive a 30
percent rate cut by 2002.
Most business and consumer groups
have either supported or at least not
opposed the agree-
ment. But some
critics have com-
plained the deregu-
lation plan would
provide large subsi-
dies for Southern
California Edison
and Pacific Gas &
Electric to offset
losses created by nuclear power plants
that produce far -too -expensive energy.
However, the plan provides much less
money for this than did a proposal last
year by the California Public Utilities
Commission. Supporters of the bill say
that regulation forced big utility compa-
nies to build power plants which later
became money losers. And they say
that without some compensation for
these plants, shareholders will be the
big losers.
No matter which side of that debate is
right, the pluses of the legislative plan
are quite substantial. By the turn of the
century, everyone in California will be
able to bargain for electricity rates in a
highly competitive market. Many pow-
er providers will be able to compete for
sales to residences and businesses. Cali-
fornia will become the first state to
deregulate electricity sales.
With recent power failures fresh in
the public mind, the need to maintain
energy infrastructure is more impor-
tant than ever. Under the plan approved
by a two -house committee, the big utili-
ties in the state would turn over opera-
tion of their transmission lines and facil-
ities to an independent statewide
agency. That's good. In an aggressively
competitive market, power companies
may be tempted to cut maintenance in
order to increase profits.
The way the new system will work is
that a statewide electricity pool will be
created, and the pool will buy power
from many sources, including existing
utilities. Customers can buy power ei-
ther from the pool, from independent
sources or from their current utility.
Californians can expect aggressive mar-
keting and competitive pricing in elec-
tricity the same way we have with long-
distance phone service. That might
mean a few more annoying phone calls
from telemarketers during dinner. But
it also will mean big savings over cur-
rent rates.
. Also under the new program, neigh-
borhood associations or condo corn-
plexes could negotiate cheap power`'
deals for their residents. People who
use very little electricity could find an
energy broker who would get them spe-
cial low rates.
All in all, the bipartisan energy -dereg-
ulation legislation will be extremely
beneficial to Californians, who currently
pay some of the highest electricity rates
in the nation. The bill should sail
through the Assembly and Senate and
be signed by Coy. Pete Wilson.

Dear Mayor Waters:
At its July 25, 1997 meeting, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) acted to request all interested
public agencies in the region to include their electric loads in a solicitation for bids for electric supply and related
services. This letter makes that request for your agency's participation. A copy of the report on this item is
enclosed for your information.
Your agency is a member of the electric restructuring working group. The working group is made up of 110 public
agencies in the region that have expressed interest in evaluating the potential for reducing electric costs by joining
together to purchase electricity. A potential for cost savings for the public agencies exists through the
implementation of a regional power pool. The next step is the actual solicitation of bids for power. If the bids show
sufficient cost savings, your agency will be able to decide whether to join the regional power pool. If the bids are
competitive, positive responses will be received from a significant number of working group members, and a viable
power pool can be created.
In order to accomplish this next step, a written response to participate in the bid solicitation and the use of your
electric load and billing information obtained from San Diego Gas & Electric in the solicitation is being requested.
A sample response letter is attached.
SANDAG will issue a request for qualifications to prospective suppliers and then request proposals from a selected
group of suppliers. SANDAG will negotiate with selected electric service suppliers and prepare power purchase
agreements. These purchase agreements, which will include prices for electric services, will be presented to your
agency for approval and final commitment for membership in the purchasing pool.
We would appreciate receiving your response by September 11, 1997. Please call me or have your staff contact
Mike McLaughlin at 595-5373 or Marc Morley at 595-5316 if you have questions or comments, or need assistance
in responding.
Sincerely,
