Procedure for Certification:
The Utility may require that:
a. The customer have a medical doctor or osteopath licensed to practice medicine in
the State of California provide the Utility with a letter, acceptable to the Utility,
describing the type of regularly required life-support device and the utilization
requirement in detail; or
b. County, State or Federal agencies, using an established notification letter to
electric utilities, provide the Utility with information relative to patients who
regularly require the use of a life-support device in the house.
Upon the above certification, the Utility shall estimate the monthly consumption
of the particular life-support device, given the usual hours of operations per
month, and within 30 days add the incremental estimated monthly usage to the
customer's lifeline quantity. The Utility may require a new or renewed
application and/or certification, when needed in the opinion of the Utility.
2. Verification: Not more than one lifeline quantity will be allowed for each single-family
dwelling or accommodation on the premises. However, where there are multiple life-
support devices at such single-family dwelling or accommodation, all such devices shall
be totaled for one lifeline quantity. The number of single-family accommodations on the
premises and the existence of the specified end use equipment required to obtain certain
lifeline quantities of electricity, as set forth on the applicable rate schedules are subject to
verification by the Utility.
Termination of Use: Customers shall give the Utility notice of termination of use of
equipment or devices. In the event the Utility ascertains that the customer is not eligible
for such additional lifeline quantity, such customer may be re -billed as if no such
additional lifeline quantity had been allowed.

schedule is mandatory for all customers whose monthly maximum demand has exceeded
200 KW for any 3 months during the preceding 12 months and whose average demand
for the preceding 12 months also exceeds 200 KW. Any customer whose monthly
maximum demand has fallen below 200 KW for any 3 months during the preceding 12
months and whose average demand for the preceding 12 months also is less than 200 KW
may be required to take service on Schedule G-2.
Territory:
Rate:

meter, in the 15 -minute interval in which the consumption of electric energy is greater
than in any other 15 -minute interval in the month, but not less than 50% of the highest
billing demand in the preceding 11 months. Billing demand shall be determined to the
nearest KW. Whenever the measured maximum demand has exceeded 400 KW for 3
consecutive months and thereafter until it has fallen below 300 KW for 12 consecutive
months, a 30 -minute interval will be used. Where the demand is intermittent or subjected
to violent fluctuations, the maximum demand may be based on a shorter interval.

3. Power Factor Adjustment: When the billing demand has exceeded 200 KW for 3
consecutive months, a kilovar-hour meter will be installed as soon as practicable. The
charges will be increased for each KVAR in excess of 60% of the billing demand in the
amount of 44 46 0 per KVAR.
The kilovars of reactive demand shall be calculated by multiplying the kilowatts of
measured maximum demand by the ratio of the kilovar-hours to the kilowatt-hours.
Demands in kilowatts and kilovars shall be determined to the nearest 1/10 (0.1) unit. A
ratchet device will be installed on the kilovar-hour meter to prevent its reverse operations
on leading power factors.
4. Voltage Discount: The charges before power factor and fuel cost adjustments will be
reduced by 4% for service delivered and metered at 12 KV.
5. Temporary Discontinuance of Service: When the use of energy is seasonal or

FUEL COST ADJUSTMENT — SAN JUAN RESOURCE
(Adopted by Resolution No. 04-057)
Background:
The City's San Juan Unit 3 resource is its single largest resource providing up to 75% of
City's annual energy requirement.
Due to the sunk cost nature of San Juan resource, the cost incurred in procuring
replacement power when the unit is derated, or unavailable due to scheduled or forced
outages is an addition to the power resource cost that must be recovered. This rate
schedule would ensure timely and prudent recovery of the replacement power costs for
San Juan Unit 3 resource.
Applicability:
Applicable to all electric services.
Territory:
Within the electric service territory of the City of Azusa.
Rate Determination:
Rate:
Energy Charge: As determined by the methodology below.
The Azusa Light and Water shall determine the fuel cost adjustment component
associated with its San Juan unit 3 resource pursuant to the following methodology each
quarter. The Director of Utilities shall notify the City Council of the new fuel cost
component associated with its San Juan unit 3 each quarter. It shall be applied to all
electric bills beginning the first billing cycle of each quarter.
1. Determine the base San Juan replacement power cost for the quarter through the
following calculation:
(A) = Base San Juan Replacement Power Cost in $ = 30 x (N# of days during the
quarter) x 24 x 0.15 x 40.
2. Determine the actual San Juan replacement power cost in $ incurred during the
quarter (B).

3. Determine other San Juan associated costs (+) or credits (-), e.g. outage insurance

4. Derive the amount of Replacement Power Cost (RPC) eligible to be recovered
through the following calculation:
RPC = (A) — (B) + (C)
5. Adjust the RPC in accordance with the following to derive Adjusted
Replacement Power Cost (ARPC):
(i) If RPC< 4750,000, then ARPC= 4750,000
(ii) If 4750,000<RPC<-$100,000, then ARPC=RPC
(iii) If-$100,000<RPC<+$100,000, thenARPC=$0
(iv) If $100,000<RPC<+$750,000, then ARPC=RPC
(v) If RPC>+$750,000, then ARPC=+$750,000
6. Derive Replacement Power Cost Balancing Account (RPCBA) by subtracting
ARPC from RPC, i.e., RPCBA=RPC-ARPC.
7. Forecast the retail sales for the immediately succeeding quarter (R).
8. Derive the fuel cost adjustment associated with the San Juan unit 3 resource by
dividing ARPC by (R).
9. Any balance remaining in RPCBA shall be added to the RPC of the immediately
succeeding quarter for recovery or credit. Subject to City Council's approval, the
Director of Utilities may establish a minimum RPCBA threshold to be retained
for the purposes of reducing the fluctuations in fuel cost adjustment.
This rate schedule is applicable to San Juan energy resource only. To the extent a need
arises to apply FCA provision to energy resources other than San Juan, the Director of
Utilities may implement it with the approval of the Utility Board.
