12 Pasadena Water and Power 12 Proposed Rate Adjustments: Distribution and Customer Charges

13 Pasadena Water and Power Formula Rate Adjustments for FY2015 - Energy and Public Benefits Charge 13

14 Pasadena Water and Power Power Supply FTE: 52 14 Energy Charge (Adjusted by formula)

15 Pasadena Water and Power PBC FTE: 7.25 15 PBC Charge (Adjusted by formula)

16 Pasadena Water and Power Combined Projected Rate Adjustments 16 8.3%2.4%2.2% Future adjustments to energy, transmission and PBC rates are uncertain: Market costs for energy and gas Renewable energy goals and costs Results of IRP update Transmission projects and costs Efficiency and rebate program goals

17 Pasadena Water and Power 17 Additional Rate Considerations Time of Use Adjust the time-of-use (“TOU”) pricing periods: Winter hours Summer hours Holidays and weekends are off peak hours Electric Vehicle Establish electric vehicle rates for single- family residential customers and multifamily residential customers. On-peak and off-peak rates shall be based on the price of market energy during the period. Feed-in- Tariff Minimum of 100 kW to 1 MW renewable energy distributed generation. Incentivize customers to locate their CEC certified facilities at high load concentration areas within the distribution system. Contracts for up to 20 years. Economic Development Rider Available to new and existing customers adding a minimum of 100 kW to the system load. Customer must qualify for the City’s Economic Development Program. Eligible commercial customers will have two discount options.

31 Pasadena Water and Power ELECTRIC RATE COMPARISON TO OTHER UTILITIES PWP’s Proposed Rates Remain Comparable to Neighboring Utilities 31

32 Pasadena Water and Power Bill Comparisons for Residential Customers 32 Darkest shade indicates higher comparative bill at given level of usage. For example, at 200 kWh/month, Riverside is the highest and Burbank is the lowest. PWP will be mid-range in comparative bills except at the 400 and 500 kWh levels of consumption.

34 Pasadena Water and Power COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS Electric Cost of Service Study 34

35 Pasadena Water and Power Key Inputs to ECOS 35 Financial Adopted FY 2014 Operating Budget Annual Revenue Requirements: Based on forecasted cost escalations and known changes in annual costs Capital Improvements: Capital expenditures based on adopted FY 2014 Capital Budget Debt Service: Based on principal and interest payments on currently outstanding revenue bonds and projections of debt service General Fund Transfer: Annual transfer of 9% (included in rate of return requirement) Rate Base Return Requirement: A rate base calculated by adding the net utility plant in service and construction work in progress to a working capital allowance of 60 cash days of operations and maintenance expenses, and subtracting capital contributions Operational Sales Growth: Energy sales are forecast as flat (unchanged) during seven year financial forecast Customer Growth : Modest projected growth of <1% for each class; historical average relationship between energy sales and number of customers expected to continue in the future System Load: Based on projected annual energy sales with distribution loss of about 5% (typical industry average for utilities with similar energy resources) Load Shape and Peak Demand: Forecast of customer classification-specific energy sales and peak demand are based on 3-years historical data for FY 2009 - 2012 and budget year projections for FY 2013
