POWER COST ADJUSTMENT
APPLICABILITY
To the entire City of Redding service area for all kilowatt-hours billed under all

PURPOSE
To appropriately adjust for increases and decreases in the Electric Utility's
wholesale power costs due to the Revenue Adjustment Clause (RAC) associated with
purchases by the City of Redding from the Department of Energy, Western Area Power
Administration (Western) .
APPLICATION OF POWER COST ADJUSTMENT (PCA)
The monthly PCA dollar amount to be added to or subtracted from each bill shall be
obtained by multiplying the number of kilowatt-hours for which the bill is rendered
by the applicable monthly PCA Factor.
CALCULATION OF THE POWER COST ADJUSTMENT FACTORS
1 . The PCA Factor will be calculated and made effective every June 15 and
December 15 to reflect any changes in Western's RAC.
A. If Western's RAC amount, in dollars , is a credit. (monies owed to Redding
by Western) then:
(1) Western's RAC credit will be adjusted by:
a. Adding any amount, in dollars , that is over the PCA Balancing
Account's minimum balance of $300,000, as recorded two months
prior to the effective date of the PCA Factor being calculated;
however,
b. If the two months ' prior balance of the PCA Balancing Account is
below $300,000, then the necessary dollar amount required to
restore the account to $300,000 will first be subtracted from
Western's RAC credit; further,
C. If the dollar amount required to restore the Balancing Account
to $300,000 is greater than Western's RAC credit, then the PCA
Factor will be calculated under the provisions of Section 1.B.
(2) The adjusted refund dollar amount (as referenced in Section 1.A. (1))
will be divided by the adjusted sum of all retail kilowatt-hour sales
for the six-month period beginning twelve months prior to the
effective date of the PCA Factor.

(3) The adjusted sum of retail kilowatt-hour sales (as referenced in Sec-
tion 1 .A.2) will be determined by multiplying the historical total
kilowatt-hour sales by an historical 3-year average annual energy
growth factor to reflect the Utility's rate of growth in kilowatt-
hour sales .
(4) The PCA Factor resulting from the calculations in Section 1.A.2 will
be applied as a credit to all retail kilowatt-hour sales on a monthly
billing cycle basis beginning with the effective date of the PCA
Factor being calculated.
(5) If the calculation of the PCA Factor results in a credit of less than
0. 01 cents per kilowatt-hour, then the PCA Factor will be 0.00 cents
per kilowatt-hour. The RAC credits from Western will accrue with
interest in the PCA Balancing Account.
B. If Western's RAC amount, in dollars , is a debit, (monies owed to Western
by Redding) then:
(1) Western's RAC debit will be adjusted by:
a. Subtracting any amount, in dollars , that is over the PCA
Balancing Account's minimum balance of $300,000 as recorded two
months prior to the effective date of the PCA Factor being
calculated; however,
b. If the two months ' prior balance of the PCA Balancing Account is
below $300,000, then the necessary dollar amount required to
restore the account to $300,000 will be added to Western's RAC
debit.
(2) The adjusted debit dollar amount (as referenced in Section 1.6.1)
will be divided by the adjusted sum of all retail kilowatt-hour sales
for the six-month period beginning twelve months prior to the effec-
tive date of the PCA Factor.
(3) The adjusted sum of retail kilowatt-hour sales (as referenced in Sec-
tion 1.B.2) will be determined by multiplying the historical total
kilowatt-hour sales by an historical 3-year average annual energy
growth factor to reflect the Utility's rate of growth in kilowatt-
hour sales.
(4) The PCA Factor resulting from the calculations in Section 1.B.2 will
be applied as a charge to all retail kilowatt-hour sales on a monthly
billing-cycle basis beginning with the effective date of the PCA
Factor being calculated.

PCA Balancing Account.
2. A PCA Balancing Account shall be maintained as an operating account for the
purposes of accommodating the cash-flow fluctuations inherent in the PCA
process .
A. Each month when a power bill is rendered from Western which includes any
adjustment for Western's RAC, the account's balance will be calculated as
follows:
(1) Add (or subtract) Western's monthly RAC charge, in dollars, from the
balance which existed at the end of the prior month.
(2) Add (or subtract) the amount, in dollars , recovered (or refunded)
from the application of the PCA Factor which was effective during the
prior month. Such amount shall be the product of kilowatt-hours of
energy billed during the month and the applicable PCA Factor.
(3) Add the amount, in dollars , of all interest earned on the average
balance of the funds in the PCA Balancing Account.
a . Funds from the monthly collection of the PCA will be invested by
the City along with the City's other cash accounts and
therefore, will accrue interest at the average monthly rate paid
on the City's variable investment account.

FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE (FES)
APPLICABILITY
To the entire City of Redding service area for all kilowatt-hours billed under all
rate schedules .
PURPOSE
To appropriately adjust for increases and decreases in the Electric Utility's
wholesale power costs due to the Federal Environmental Surcharge (FES) imposed by
HR429 of the 1993 statutes , which is associated with purchases by the City of Redding
from the Department of Energy, Western Area Power Administration (Western) .
THE FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE
The monthly FES dollar amount to be added to or subtracted from each bill shall be
obtained by multiplying the number of kilowatt-hours for which the bill is rendered
by the applicable monthly FES Rate. The FES Rate will become effective the first day
of the month for which Western imposes the FES and will change from time to time
thereafter when changes in the FES are imposed by Western or semiannually, at such
times as the City's summer or winter electric rates go into effect.
CALCULATION OF THE FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE RATE
1 . The FES Rate will be determined by multiplying the retail kilowatt-hour
purchases of Western energy for the following six-month period as defined in
Section I.A. by the FES rate charged by Western, then by subtracting from the
resultant product the FES Balancing Account as defined in Paragraph 2, the
difference will then be divided by the total projected retail kilowatt-hour
sales as defined in Section I.A.
A. Projected kilowatt-hour sales and purchases for FES calculation purposes
shall be those amounts projected most recently by the Electric Department.
B. If the calculation of the FES Rate results in a surcharge of less than
