This report is to recommend UAC appro ..... al of the NCPA Facilities and Pooling
agreements and forwarding to the City Cc.uno1 for its approval
BackgrQund
In July of 1968, tile City of Palo Alto became a memb<:r of tile Nor.bem California
Power Agency (NCPAl by executing the NCPA Joint Powers Agreement The agency
was formed to finance and construct electric generating and transmission facili~ies fOT
1M benefit of its membe.... 5inre tIlen, NCP A bas managed the construction and
operation of five combustion turbines (25 MW each), two geothermal power plan ... (238
MW rombined), a bydroelearic project (239 MW), and • eentral IlispalCb center.
In September of 1983, NCPA and len of its members ,Palo Alto included) executed an
interconnection agreement witll Pacific Gas and Ehctric (PG&E) to provide for
transmission services and allow the len members to poo~ their resources a.cd reduce their
capacity reserve requirements.
In 1985, the ten interconnected members executed amendments to their Western
contracts to provilJe tOT a sclJeduiing agreement ~;tb NCPA to allow the NCPA dispatch
center to a5.'illme scheduling their resources..
!<'rom 1985 to 1990, the 101M a,sTeed to ~ave l\'CPA CO<Jrdinate power billing for all
resources (except for .he Western resource:), coordinate the Common Forecasth.g
Methodology S1JbrrJllals I<J lbe Cal Jorilla Energy Commission, coordinate tlu:ir resource

In December 1985, lbe NCPA Commission felt tilat comprehensive agreement(s) are
needed to, more fonnally, bandle;

2. The relationship amongst the 101M only.
As a resuh, the NCPA po,')ling task force was formed ar,d began the creation of the
Facilities Agreement and tht~ Pooling Agre;e.menl
Discussion
Members have worked on these cwo agreements for a number of years and not without
significant negotiation. We started from very basic concepts and block by block built each
agreement to meet the group's needs as tbey were jdentified. The basic idea behind all of
this effort was to fonnally organize tho! pool in order to achieve economies of scale in supply
projects. jointly address and minimize operating costs, conserve valuablr resources such as
fuel, and provide for increasing reliability and reduce risks associated with outages.
Underlying tbese concepts is the :maJysis that joint effun can result in savings and those
sa~ can be equitably distnbutt'(f 1.1 the members who provided the opportunity to create
such savings.
Staff has put forth CLflSide:r::.ole effort in protecting the City's position with respect 10 the
pool and the City's proj"'-and contract rights. The agreements are in concon with NCPA
proj«1 third phase agr-eemenu and power pure-base contracts and with the individual ciry~s
power purclJase and Ioat: management agreements. It"' imponant to recognize that the
very nature of utility operations is changing and tbat ea{;h new t"jpe of project or contract
will have to be carefuUy integnued into the pool operation and bence these agreements are
subject 10 further analysis and change. Compromise has been necessary and wiU continue
to be so in the future. Staff will continue to participate in the variolls. committees and
protect the City's interests.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of both Ibe Facilities and POOling Agreements by the Utilities
Advisory Commission and requests the suppon of the Com;nission in reconL-nending (Q {he
City Council approval and ""ocution of both agreeme!!ts.
Respectfully .,~bmitled.

based on the total energy pu..rcha.aed. durinq the -.onth, and a

A determination or a power supply re8ourc.~a tixed and
variable coats is needed. ao that the proper decisions can be
JUde by NCPA to Jlinimize operatinq coats and also to assure
that costs of jointly ovnecl power plants are alloeatec1
properly between Project Participants. In addition, the NCPA
Power Poolinq Agreement inco~rates related incremental and
deereaental variable costs in its ·Pool Accountinq Method
Which deteraines payaant for energy transactions between
Parties to that Aqree.enta Therefore,. a -..thod to de.tatltine
fixed. and variable coats ot all HCPA resources is. required.
The classification of NCPAts operating costs will be the

true a representation as possible ot the near-term variable

and proper allocation ot all COS" to the participatlnq
parties.
1.. variable Cost, -General
Variable coata are tbO&e coats which are dependent upon
the electriea.l output of a qeneratJ.nq unit or plant such
as the cost ot consumed tuel. rhe ·variable-price ot a
thexaal-electric unit ia d.ependent on the heat rate ot
~B unit ('Which varies with the output level), the par
unit fUel cost, a.nd. some coaponant ot operations and
.a.inte.nance costs Which is considered. to be dependent
upon use.. Beat rata or input-output eu.rve.a are generally
used to describe the tuel component While variable 0&1( is
lJenerally relatively SlIall and can be established ao a
percent of total O"H co.t~.. Therefore, the variable co.t

tixed coat could be either debt service or operating
labor expense. Th.ra are other coat. vb. ieh could a1 ao be

variable costa provided in paciliti .. SchedUles FA 1.01
through FA 1. Ole reference an applicable PERC account.
The analysis ot costs associated with the operation at a power
plant so far have centered on payments to outside vendors.,
1 .... , debt service., property taxes., and. rent .xpenaas. A
power plant: must be operated and ui!ltained to obtain
generation (kilowatt-hours). The operator's direct expenses
are cl ..... ified. by the FERC Chart ot Account.. between operation
and u.inten&nce expenses. The source ot e.'1erqy llSed to tum
the qene~-ator is usually classitied as a variable expense
(loot} because it varies directly with plant output.
As a resUlt ot a litigAted resale rate case Pacitic Gas &
Electric COIIpany (PGU) tiled. in 1982 betore the PERC, the
cl...,.itieation of operatir>q _ns ... !oetveen fixed and

production operation expenses as loot fixed and all production
_inteDanee expenses as 100' variable.
