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.
3. 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

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

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

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.
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
EFFEC77VE 10/01/2007

premium payment (+), outage insurance payout (-) incurred during the quarter (C).
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< -$750,000, then ARPC= -$750,000
(ii) If-$750,000<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
