General Service or Time-metered Rate Schedule shall be reduced by the
following percentage formula:
D% _ [ 1 - (F / (F+IC) )] x 5%
Where:
D% = Demand Charge Reduction Percentage
F = Estimated On-peak Firm Service Demand
IC = Estimated On-peak Customer-controlled Interruptible
Demand
3. Contract for Service: The estimated On-peak Interruptible Demand and
estimated On-peak Firm Service Demand shall be mutually agreed upon and
set forth in the Contract for Service.
BILLING
1. Meter-recording Service Charge: A monthly supplemental service charge
shall be added to each bill in lieu of the applicable service charge:
Monthly Service Charge:

2. Interrupted Demand Billing Reduction: During any billing period when
one or more Demand interruptions are requested of the customer by the City
and are fully accomplished by the customer, the customer's demand charge
shall be based upon the applicable Commercial Demand-metered Service Rate or
the on-peak Industrial Time-metered Service Rate .multiplied by the customer's
maximum metered demand which occurred during any of the Demand Interruption
Periods.
3. Penalty for Non-compliance: Under the conditions applicable to
Customer-controlled Interruptible Demand if, at any time, the customer fails
to reduce his demand to the On-peak Firm Service Demand level when requested
to do so by the City, the customer shall, in addition to all other non-demand
related charges, (i.e. , service charge, energy charge, primary service dis-
count, and power factor adjustment) pay a Demand Charge for the sum of:
(A) An amount equal to the applicable On-peak Demand Charge multiplied
by the On-peak Firm Service Demand; plus

INDUSTRIAL-INTERRUPTIBLE SERVICE (Continued)
(1) An amount equal to 5 times the applicable on-peak demand
charge multiplied by the net of the customer's maximum metered
demand less the On-peak Firm Service Demand during any
interruption period within the billing period;
or,
(2) An amount equal to the sum of the additional costs to the City
for supplemental purchased power and related transmission and
transportation costs (expressed in $/kW) multiplied by the net
of the maximum metered demand less the On-peak Firm Service
Demand during any interruption period within the billing
period.
If more than one interruption request occurs during a billing period and the
customer fully complies with at least one interruption request and does not
fully comply with at least one other interruption request, the penalty for
non-compliance charges under Section 3. (B) , will be reduced by multiplying it
by the proportion of the total number of interruptions with which the custom-
er failed to comply fully to the number of interruptions requested.
In addition to the above penalty charges, the Demand Charge Credit will be
forfeited for the month in which any non-compliance occurs.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
1. Demand Interruption Periods: During system peak load conditions, where
the City's demand is approaching its Western Area Power Administration CVP

POWER COST ADJUSTMENT
APPLICABILITY
To the entire City of Redding service area for all kilowatthours billed under
all rate schedules.
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 kilowatthours for which the bill is
rendered by the applicable monthly PCA Factor.
CALCULATION OF THE POWER COST ADJUSTMENT FACTORS
A. The PCA Factor will be calculated and made effective every June 15 and
December 15 to reflect any changes in Western's RAC.
1. If Western's RAC amount, in dollars, is a credit, (monies owed to
Redding by Western) then;
a. Western's RAC credit will be adjusted by;
i. 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,
ii. 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,
iii. 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 A.2.
b. the adjusted refund dollar amount (as referenced in Section A.1.a)
will be divided by the adjusted sum of all retail kilowatthour
sales for the six-month period beginning twelve months prior to the
effective date of the PCA Factor.

CITY OF REDDING MUNICIPAL UTILITIES - SCHEDULE OF RATES
POWER COST ADJUSTMENT (Continued)
C. the adjusted sum of retail kilowatthour sales (as referenced in
Section A.l.b) will be determined by multiplying the historical
total kilowatthour sales by an historical three (3) year average
annual energy growth factor to reflect the Utility's rate of growth
in kilowatthour sales.
d. the PCA Factor resulting from the calculations in Section A.l.b
will be applied as a credit to all retail kilowatthour sales on a
monthly billing cycle basis beginning with the effective date of
the PCA Factor being calculated.
e. If the calculation of the PCA Factor results in a credit of less
than 0.01 cents per kilowatthour, then the PCA Factor will be 0.00
cents per kilowatthour. The RAC credits from Western will accrue
with interest in the PCA Balancing Account.
2. If Western's RAC amount, in dollars, is a debit, (monies owed to Western
by Redding) then;
a. Western's RAC debit will be adjusted by;
i. 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,
ii. 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.
b. the adjusted debit dollar amount (as referenced in Section A.2.a)
will be divided by the adjusted sum of all retail kilowatthour
sales for six-month the period beginning twelve months prior to the
effective date of the PCA Factor.
C. the adjusted sum of retail kilowatthour sales (as referenced in
Section A.2.b) will be determined by multiplying the historical
total kilowatthour sales by an historical three (3) year average
annual energy growth factor to reflect the Utility's rate of growth
in kilowatthour sales.
d. the PCA Factor resulting from the calculations in Section A.2.b
will be applied as a charge to all retail kilowatthour sales on a
monthly billing cycle basis beginning with the effective date of
the PCA Factor being calculated.

e. If the calculation of the PCA Factor results in a debit of less
than 0.01 cents per kilowatthour then the PCA Factor will be 0.00
cents per kilowatthour. The RAC debits from Western will be paid
from the PCA Balancing Account.
B. 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.
1. 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:
a. Add (or subtract) Western's monthly RAC charge, in dollars, from
the balance which existed at the end of the prior month.
b. 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 kilowatthours
of energy billed during the month and the applicable PCA Factor.
C. Add the amount, in dollars, of all interest earned on the average
balance of the funds in the PCA Balancing Account.
i. 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.
2. Best efforts will be made to maintain a minimum balance in the PCA
Balancing Account of $300,000.
