A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING
FORMALLY OPTING OUT OF THE FEDERAL ENERGY
REGULATORY COMMISSION ORDER NO. 719
WHEREAS, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued Order No.
719 (Order) directing Independent System Operators and Regional Transmission Organizations
(ISOs/R TOs) to make reforms to increase responsiveness to the needs of electric customers and
other stakeholders; and
WHEREAS, Redding Electric Utility (REU) is not located in an ISO/RTO area at this
time; and
WHEREAS, REU resides in a non-ISO/RTO balancing authority operated by the
Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD); and
WHEREAS, the FERC Order allows small utilities to "opt-in" or "opt-out" of demand
response aggregation; and

FERC Order; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Redding that REU should formally "opt-out" of the FERC Order in order to avoid any
misinterpretation.
