SUBJECT:ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE
TRANSMISSION AGENCY OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
PROJECT AGREEMENT NO. 5 FOR THE PARTICIPATION IN AN
OPEN ACCESS SAME TIME INFORMATION SYSTEM
RECOMMENDATION
Staff reconm~ends that Council adopt a resolution approving the Transmission Agency of
Northern California (TANC) Project Agreement No. 5 (P.A. No. 5) for the participation
in the "wesTTrans" Open Access Same Time Information System (OASIS). P.A. 5
authorizes and directs TANC to act on behalf of its participating members to becolne a
participant in the wesTTrans OASIS, and defines how the costs and revelmeS associated
with the OASIS participation are to be allocated among participating members.
BACKGROUND
In 1996 the United States Federal Energy Regulatory Conm~ission (FERC) issued two
landmark orders, FERC Order 888 and FERC Order 889. These two orders played key
roles in opening the national wholesale energy market to COlnpetition by ensuring that
wholesale customers and suppliers had access to the largely monopoly-owned
transmission grid. Order 888 required transmission owners to provide open access to
transmission services. Soon afterward, Order 889 set standards regarding information that
utilities must make available to the marketplace and established OASIS, a bulletin board
system for sharing this information. OASIS allows energy customers on the wholesale
market to schedule and reserve capacity on the national regional transmission grids to
ensure that energy can be delivered to customers without competitive interference. As an
active participant in the wholesale energy market, the City is supportive of efforts that
result in open and transparent access to the transmission grid.
CMR:429:04 Page 1 of 4
TANC, as project manager, constructed the California-Oregon Transmission Project
(COTP) in the early 1990s. COTP is a high-capacity transmission line rated at 1,600
megawatts, which stretches 346 miles from Captain Jack Substation near Malin, Oregon
through Northern California to PG&E’s Tesla Substation, east of San Francisco. TANC
owns 75% of the transfer capability on COTP and, through participation in TANC, the
City has rights to a 50 mega~vatts share, which translates to just over a 4% share of
TANC’s COTP. The decision to participate in the COTP was lnade so the City would
have access to low cost energy from the Northwest when ene, rgy was available.
DISCUSSION
On March 31, 2004, a voluntary coalition of transmission providing entities in the
western United States began offering access to their transmission systems on a single
OASIS site, l~own as the wesTTrans OASIS. The 18 original participants include the
Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), the Western Area Power Administration
(WAPA), and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP).
As an owner and operator of COTP, TANC desires to enhance transmission availability
in California by making the participating members’ unused and unencumbered transfer
capability available for use by other entities. The participating members for this
endeavor are the cities of Alameda, Healdsburg, Lodi, Lompoc, Palo Alto, Redding,
Roseville, Santa Clara, and Uldah; the Modesto Irrigation District; the Turlock In’igation
District; and the Plumas-Sien’a Rural Electric Cooperative. (SMUD is participating in
wesTTrans independently). TANC and its participating members have concluded that it is
in their interest and in the interest of electricity customers in California for TANC to
participate as a transmission provider on the wesTTrans OASIS. On August 23, 2004,
the TANC Conmaission approved Resolution 2004-30 authorizing execution of TANC
P.A. 5 and other agreements associated with TANC’s participation in the-wdsTTrans
OASIS.
Although the City is not under FERC jurisdiction, participation in the wesTTrans OASIS
will abide by the FERC Order 888 surplus transmission posting requirelnents. Surplus
transmission is defined as transmission available after first lneeting the City’s
transmission needs. At present, value of this transmission asset is maximized by
procuring lower cost supplies at the California-Oregon Border (COB) and delivering it to
the City using the City’s share of the COTP and also using the PG&E/ISO grid. When
the cost of supply is higher at COB compared to Northern California prices, any surplus
power is wheeled out of California for sale to the utilities in the Northwest. When price
differentials are non-existent, neither Palo Alto nor the Northern California Power
Agency (NCPA) on behalf of Palo Alto utilizes the line.
CMR:429:04 Page 2 of 4
Participation in wesTTrans will provide another tool to capture the value of the City’s
surplus COTP capacity. In addition to capturing value for the City, a centralized OASIS
such as wesTTrans supports fair and open access to participating members’ surplus
transmission to other entities in the market, thus meeting the requirements of the open
access requirements of FERC Order 888.
PA No. 5 authorizes and directs TANC to act on behalf of its participating melnbers to
become a participant in the wesTTrans OASIS, including: 1) the negotiation and
execution of a service agreement with Open Access Teclmologies, Inc.; and 2) the
designation and execution of a service agreement with a TANC OASIS administrator.
P.A. 5 further defines how the costs and revenues associated with the OASIS
participation are to be allocated among participating members.
Following execution of this P.A. 5 and establislmaent of the required tools to undertake
transactions via the OASIS bulletin board, staff will seek Council authorization for Palo
Alto staff, in coordination with NCPA staff, to transact and post surplus COTP transfer
capability through the TANC OASIS administrator.
RESOURCE IMPACT
The City of Palo Alto will be allocated 5.55% of the costs of the wesTTrans OASIS
participation. This will include a one-time service initiation fee and a monthly service
fee to wesTTrans OASIS, and a monthly fee for the TANC OASIS administrator. The
lnininmm subscription term is 12 months from the date that TANC initiates service on the
wesTTrans OASIS. Following the initial twelve-lnonth period, a participating melnber
may terminate its participation upon sixty days written notice to TANC. The following
table specifies the fees for the wesTTrans OASIS. An additional fee for the TANC
administrator will also be assessed!

Revenue resulting from the sale of the participating members’ offered transfer capability
is distributed by the TANC OASIS administrator in proportion to each participating
member’s binding offer of transfer capability posted on the OASIS for the given
transaction period.

This Project Agreement No. 5 ("Agreement") is entered into as of
August23, 2004, by and among the Transmission Agency of Northern California,
hereinafter referred to as "TANC"; an~d the Cities of Alameda, Healdsburg, Lodi,
Lompoc, Palo Alto, Redding, Roseville, Santa Clara, and Ukiah; the Modesto Irrigation
District; the Turlock Irrigation District; and the Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric
Cooperative, TANC Members hereiflafter collectively referred to as the "Participating
Members," with regard to the following:
RECITALS
WHEREAS:
A.TANC owns Transfer Capability on the California Oregon Transmission
Project that is not under the control of the California Independent System Operator.
B.TANC desires to enhance transmission availability in California by
making the Participating Members’ unused and u~encumbered Transfer Capability
available for use by other entities in an open and efficient manner andin a~cordance
with the TANC Open Access Transmission Tariff.
C.On March 31, 2004, a voluntary .coalition of transmission providing
entities in the Western Interconnection began offering access to their transmission
systems on a single OASIS site, known as the wesTTrans OASIS. This cooperative effort
includes alignment of business practices and processes between all transmission
providers to the greatest extent possible, while retaining the individual Open Access
Transmission Tariffs of each transmission provider. A primary benefit of this effort is the
enhancement of the transmission market within the Western Intercom~ection.
D.TANC and its Participating Members have concluded that it is in their
interest and the interest of electricity customers in the state for TANC to participate as a
Transmission Provider on the wesTTrans OASIS. Based on discussions with Open
Access Tecl~ologies, Inc. the operator of the wesTTrans OASIS, TANC has concluded
that TANC’s designation of a TANC OASIS Administrator will be necessary to facilitate
TANC Members’ sales of available Transfer Capability on wesTTrans OASIS.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, TANC and the TANC Members that will be participating
Members and have signed below hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1.SERVICE AGREEMENTS
TANC is hereby authorized and directed to act on behalf of the Participating
Members to become a participant in the wesTTrans OASIS, including the negotiation
and execution of a service agreement with Open Access Technologies, Inc, for TANC’s
participation in the wesTTrans OASIS. TANC is additionally authorized and directed to
act on behalf of the Participating Members to designate and execute a service agreement
with a TANC OASIS Administrator to facilitate TANC’s participation in the wesTTrans
OASIS.
2,SERVICE INITIATION AND OTHER FEES.
A schedule of service fees that includes an initiation fee and a monthly fee
associated with services that Open Access Technologies, Inc. will perform, in order for
TANC to participate in the wesTTrans OASIS, is included in Exhibit A. Fees associated
2
with the TANC OASIS Administrator functions shall be set forth in the service
agreement beh~Teen TANC and the TANC OASIS Administrator.
Any fees related to the termination of this Agreement shall be allocated to
Participating Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.
3.ALLOCATION OF PROJECT COSTS TO PARTICIPATING MEMBERS
All costs and expenses associated with this Agreement and all fees or charges for
wesTTrans OASIS and the TANC OASIS Administrator se~wice initffation, and
wesTTrans OASIS and the TANC OASIS Administrator mo.nthly service will be
allocated to the Participating Members in accordance with their Project Agreement No. 3
Participation Percentages prorated after subtracting the percentages of the TANC
Members that do not execute this Agreement. Schedules of fees associated with such
services are located in Exhibit A and the service agreement between TANC and the
TANC OASIS Administrator. TANC, upon receipt of such invoices from Open Access
Technologies, Inc. (OATI), and the TANC OASIS Administrator will allocate such
initiation and service costs to Participating Members. The allocation percentage for each
Member executing this agreement is shown in Exhibit B, attached to and incorporated
into this Agreement..
4.ALLOCATION OF NET REVENUES
For the purposes of this Project Agreement No. 5, the term "Binding Offer" shall
mean a specified whole number of megawatts, that in compliance with the procedures
under this Agreement, Project Agreement No. 3, and those applicable provisions of the
wesTTrans OASIS, the WesTTrans contract with TANC, the service agreement between
TANC and the TANC OASIS Administrator, and the service agreement between TANC
and Open Access Tecl~ologies, Inc., is released by the Participating Member to TANC
to be offered for sale, unrevoked for a period, as designated by the Participating
Member, unused, and m~encumbered by any claim or reservation. The time period of
any Binding Offer must coincide with the time period of the actual sale or sales TANC
3
makes, regardless of any difference between the amount offered and the amount TANG
succeeds in selling. The TANG OASIS Administrator shall allocate to each Participating
Member the revenue received, net of expenses associated with the Binding Offer, from
sale of Transfer Capability by the TANG OASIS Administrator in proportion to each
Participating Member’s Binding Offer. In making such allocation, when more than one
Participating Member has made a Binding Offer, the TANG OASIS Administrator shah
allocate to each Participating Member that made a Binding Offer, the revenue derived by
multiplying the total revenue received from the sale or sales coinciding with the time
period during which more than one Binding Offer has been made, by the fraction
resulting from the division of each such Participating Member’s Binding Offer by the
sum of the Binding Offers made during the coincident time period of the sale or sales.
Revenue resulting from the sale of the Participating Members’ offered Transfer
Capability shall be distributed by the TANC OASIS Administrator to each Participating
Member not in default of any obligation to TANG, according to the time]ines contained
in the se~wice agreement between TANG and the TANG OASIS Adn~inistrator. The
TANC OASIS Administrator may set off amounts due TANG or the TANC OASIS
Administrator from revenues due a Participating Member in default in accordance with
Section 9 of this agreement.
5.COORDINATION WITH TANG OASIS ADMINISTRATOR
Participating Members agree to coordinate with the TANC OASIS Administrator
to (1) provide information regarding available Transfer Capability, credit policies, and
other information as may be reasonably deemed necessary by the TANC OASIS
Administrator in the performance of its duties to facilitate TANC’s participation on
behalf of Participating Members in wesTTrans OASIS, to collect the revenues from
transmission customers, and (2) to perform the financial settlements among
Participating Members of fees and revenues associated with the participation in the
wesTTrans OASIS.
4
Each Participating Member agrees to provide to the TANC OASIS Adn~Jnistrator tl~e
available Transfer Capability the it desires to post for sale on the wesTTrans OASIS as a
Binding Offer in accordance with the procedures, timelines, and formats as mutually
agreed to by the Participating Members and the TANC OASIS Administrator, as those
may be modified from time to time by agreement of the participating members.
6.TEP,2vI AND TERMINATION.
