Implementation of Power Rates Rate Applications Group LADWP Rates & Contracts
Power Rates - Overview Two year increase for FY and FY FY 12-13: 4.9% general increase FY 13-14: 6.0% general increase Overall 2-year system average increase: 11.1%, 1.4¢/kwh Impact of rate increases is projected to be equal across all rate classes, but the impact may vary between customers within classes, depending on consumption levels and patterns New Ordinance is incremental to existing rates that are currently in effect, which are capped
Power Rates - Background Purpose: higher costs to DWP to meet legal/regulatory requirements, and to replace aging infrastructure Rates are the result of an in-depth analysis and coordination between DWP staff and outside consultants. Rates reflect extensive review by the independent Ratepayer Advocate Extensive public input was solicited and received through community outreach in 2011 and in 2012
Power Rates - Implementation Projected implementation date is November 11, 2012 Written ordinance shows incremental numbers that will be added to existing capped rates CIS and DWP bills will display the sum total of the capped and incremental rates Several new billing factors have been created, which will be embedded in current line items on CIS and on DWP bills
Power Rates - Implementation Approved ordinance includes several new billing factors: –VEA – Variable Energy Adjustment –CRPSEA – Capped Renewable Portfolio Standard Energy Adjustment –VRPSEA – Variable Renewable Portfolio Standard Energy Adjustment –IRCA – Incremental Reliability Cost Adjustment VEA, CRPSEA and VRPSEA will be embedded with the ECA on CIS IRCA will be embedded with the ESA and RCA

Power Rates – Some Important Points to Consider Certain customers will be impacted more –Residential high kwh users –Commercial users with poor load factors (high demand, low consumption) In addition to the Ratepayer Advocate, this rate action had widespread support, including business representatives (LA Chamber of Commerce, LA Times) and environmental groups (Sierra Club) Even after this rate action, rates are still less than or competitive with neighboring utilities Rate action enables DWP to continue and expand efficiency programs, which help customers manage their costs
