A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ELECTRIC
RATES AND CHARGES, PURSUANT TO THE REQUIREMENTS
AND AUTHORITY OF CHAPTER 3.46 OF TITLE 3 OF THE
RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CODE
A. Recitals
1. The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga has previously adopted Chapter
3.46 of Title 3 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code establishing Electricity
Service Rules and Regulations and authorizing that the rates, fees and charges
arising, directly or indirectly, under said legislation be adopted pursuant to resolution,
and thereafter, be amended from time to time by resolution.
2. City staff has prepared a comprehensive schedule of the rates, fees and charges that
reflect the reasonable and prudent costs relating to the acquisition and distribution of
electric power to retail customers and are recommending that the City Council adopt
the recommended rates and fees. These rates do not present the City an opportunity
to achieve profits or to impose charges in excess of the costs reasonably related to
the development, maintenance and expansion of a municipal electric distribution
system. The City Council has directed City staff to regularly review the operations of
the City's electric utility to ensure that the rates are sufficient to cover all prudent
business costs, reserves and capital equipment acquisition but not exceeding the
amount necessary for the same. The rates, fees and charges reflect the reasonable
costs to the City system only and do not reflect any excess rates, fees, or charges that
are in excess of the reasonable costs of providing the electrical services as set forth
hereinafter.
3. The City Council has reviewed the adoption of this Resolution pursuant to the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and
has determined that the adoption of the Electric Rules and Regulations has no
foreseeable potential to a result in a significant impact upon the environment and is
exempt from CEQA review pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
Further, the City Council has determined that the adoption of the fees is exempt from
substantive environmental review under Section 15273 of the State CEQA Guidelines
as no capital projects for system expansion are included in the proposed action.
4. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
B. Resolution
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA,
HEREBY RESOLVES,
correct.
Section 1.: The facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A of this Resolution, are true and

For customer accounts established on or after December 1, 2018: The net surplus
compensation rate shall be $0.0500 per kWh applied to any net surplus energy remaining
at the end of the customer's twelve (12) monthly billing period ("relevant period").
Grandfathered Provision: For customer accounts established before December 1, 2018:
The net surplus compensation rate shall be equivalent to the highest hourly rate that was
charged for consumption in their OAT during the year prior to the Customer's Annual
Billing Date. This provision will remain in effect for fifteen (15) years from the Customer's
original year in which the generating facility was interconnected to RCMU's grid. After
that period expires, the Customer will receive the current net surplus compensation that is
being offered at that time.
Rates
All rates charged under this schedule will
Customer -Generator's otherwise applicable
Eligible Customer -Generator served under
be in accordance with the Eligible
tariff (OAT) or rate schedule. An

•Si
Eligible Customers under this schedule are subject to any new or additional
charge(s) that may be imposed by the Utility on the other customer in the rate class
to which Customer would otherwise be assigned.
2. As determined in each billing period, when a customer consumes more energy than
generated at the premises (net consumer), the net consumed energy will be used in
the calculation of all applicable energy charges, calculated by multiplying the net
amount consumed by the applicable energy rate components of the customer's
OAT.

3. As determined in each billing period, when a customer generates more energy than
is consumed by the customer (net generator), the resulting net produced energy will
be calculated by multiplying the net produced kWh by the applicable energy rate
component of the Customer's OAT (including TOU periods) and be a credit on the
bill. Any net kilowatt-hours of production credit that exceeds the net consumed
energy, will be carried forward into the next billing period.
If the Customer's OAT includes "time of use" (TOU) rates, any net energy
consumed monthly shall be calculated according to the terms of the OAT. When
the customer is a net generator during any TOU period, the net kilowatt-hours
generated shall be valued at the same price per kilowatt-hour as the Utility would
charge during that same TOU period.
4. Customers who are Net Surplus Electricity producers at the Customer's Annual
True -Up Date, may elect to either carry over annual Net Surplus Energy production
(in kilowatt hours) as a credit that will be applied to kilowatt hours consumed by
the Customer or Customer may elect to receive payment to cash out the remaining
Net Surplus Energy.
Special Condition
1. An executed Net Energy Metering and Generating Facility Interconnection
Agreement is required prior to receiving service under this Schedule.
2. Metering Requirements: If the customer's existing meter is not capable of

provided at the expense of the customer. The City may elect to install an additional
meter or meters, at the City's expense to provide the information necessary to
accurately bill or credit the customer.
3. To be eligible for service under this Schedule, the customer's generating facilities
must be sized to offset part or all of the customer's own electrical requirements and
cannot be oversized. This means that the estimated output of the generating facility,
using the CEC-AC nameplate rating for inverter -based generating facilities must
not exceed the customer's previous annual usage in kWh.
4. A new customer of record who owns, leases, or rents a premise that includes an
existing generating facility with a capacity under 30 kW that was approved by
RCMU for operation prior to the new customer moving in and/or taking electric
service with RCMU will take service under this Tariff as long as the requirements
of this Tariff are met and will not have to sign a new Interconnection Agreement.
This provision also applies to premises where the developer/contractor establishes
the interconnection.
A new customer of record who owns, leases, or rents a premise that includes an
existing generating facility with a capacity over 30 kW that was approved by
RCMU for operation prior to the new customer moving in and/or taking electric

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL UTILITY
ELECTRIC RATES & TARIFFS
STANDBY DEMAND CAPACITY RESERVATION CHARGE
(SELF GENERATION)
A. Applicability
Applicable to Large Commercial and Large Industrial customers who operates a non -net
metered, non -utility generating facility rated at 1000 kW or less, interconnected on the
Customer's premises and operates in parallel with the City's electric system. The
generating facility is intended primarily to offset part or all of the customer's own electrical
requirements and meets all the applicable safety and performance standards.
Standby service customers have unique electric demands, due to their on -site generation
assets, that are often quite different from those of full requirement customers. These
customers pay standby rates so that they may, in the event of a planned or unplanned outage
of their non -utility generating system, take service from the City electric system. The City
bears an "obligation to serve" and must configure their system to allow every customer
reliable access to the grid. The standby charge is designed to recover the costs of
transmission and distribution facilities, as well as substation and transformers dedicated to
the customer's use that do not vary with usage in maintaining sufficient capacity (through
operating reserves) in order to serve an unplanned outage, even if such an outage never
occurs. The standby charge also includes appropriate service voltage level distinctions:
secondary and primary.
B. Territory
The entire territory served.
C. Rates
1. Rates for this service shall be the same as for the schedule under which the
customer's otherwise applicable rate schedule shall apply.
2. Standby Demand Capacity Reservation Charge (CRC): A CRC shall be a flat $/kW
amount applied to the Standby Demand in kW, which represents the entire reserved
capacity needed for the City to serve the self -generation customer's load, which
would have been regularly served by the customer's generating facility when such
facility experiences a partial or complete outage. The level of Standby Demand
shall be provided by the customer and shall not exceed the nameplate capacity of
the customer's generating facility.
Standby Charge — Secondary ($/kW)
Standby Charge — Primary ($/kW)
$8.61
$7.61
3. Demand Charge: As determined in each billing period, a Standby Service
customer's billing demand shall be the kilowatts of Maximum Demand indicated
or recorded by instruments, determined to the nearest kW of the absolute net power
32 Effective Date: July 1, 2022
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNiCIPAL UTILITY
ELECTRIC RATES & TARIFFS
that the customer received from the City's electric system. The Demand Charge for
each time period shall be based on the Maximum Demand for that time period
occurring during the respective monthly billing period.
4. Energy Charge: As determined in each billing period, when a Standby Service
customer consumes more energy than generated at the premises, the net consumed
energy will be used in the calculation of all applicable energy charges. All Energy
shall be billed in accordance with the customer's Otherwise Applicable Tariff rate
schedule which would otherwise apply if the customer had no generating
equipment.
5. Other charges: All other specific rate components, including the Power Factor
Adjustment Charge, Customer Charge and the State Electric SurTax will not vary
based on registered usage or demand of the customer's generating facility.
D. Special Conditions
1. Contract Required - Customer shall sign an Interconnection Agreement contract for
this service, which shall state the number of kW of standby capacity required.
"Standby capacity" shall not exceed the nameplate rating of the customer's
generating equipment.
2. Metering Requirements - If the customer's existing meter is not capable of
measuring the flow of energy in two directions, an appropriate meter shall be
provided at the expense of the customer. The City may elect to install an additional
meter or meters, at the customer's expense to provide the information necessary to
accurately bill or credit the customer.
The CRC tariff is only applicable to Standby Service customers who require electric
capacity and energy supplied by the City on a regular basis to supplement the
Customer's power requirement in addition to that ordinarily supplied by the on -site
non -utility generation facilities. If a customer has a planned generator outage with
prior notification given to RCMU for an entire billing period the standby charge
will not be applicable.
4. Customers exempted from the CRC tariff:
(a) Customers with backup on -site generation that is used exclusively when service
from the utility is not available in the event of an interruption in utility service and
which are not used to offset Customer electricity purchases.
(b) The applicability of these exemptions shall be determined at the discretion of the
Utilities Manager.
Standby Demand in kW represents the entire reserved capacity needed for the City
to serve the customer's load, regularly served by the customer's generating facility
when such facility experiences a partial or complete outage. The level of Standby
Demand, which shall not exceed the nameplate capacity of the customer's
33 Effective Date: July 1, 2022
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL UTILITY
ELECTRIC RATES & TARIFFS
generating facility, is initially designated by the customer and is set forth in the
generation interconnection agreement. Once a customer's designated Standby
Demand has been set, it shall remain at such level for a minimum of 12 months
unless, in the City's determination, the Standby Demand needs to be adjusted to
more accurately represent the customer's actual reserve capacity needs. Upon the
City's determination that the customer's designated Standby Demand does not
reflect the actual level of needed reserve capacity, over any 15-minute period or
through on -site verification, the City shall adjust the Standby Demand to reflect the
actual needed reserve capacity. When the Standby Demand is adjusted by the City
as provided above, a qualified change in the Standby Demand shall not be made for
12 months from the last adjustment. The customer is responsible for notifying the
City of permanent or material changes in their generation facilities (size, type and
operations) for future adjustments to the Standby Demand.
6. Diversity Factor - a statistical assumption that a certain percentage of standby load
will be utilizing substation and distribution service between each .class' peak
demand and the system peak demand. This factor was determined using the
diversity factors calculated in the utility's most recent cost of service study and is
embedded in the current CRC tariff. A percentage difference was identified as the
diversity factor and the distribution and substation portion of the standby rates were
reduced accordingly reflecting a reduction in those infrastructure requirements.
E. Billing Calculation
A Customer's bill is calculated according to the rates and conditions above. The charges
are calculated by applying the Rate Charges on the customer's applicable nameplate
generation capacity for the generating unit at the customer's facility. All other usage
provided by RCMU will be based on the applicable rate tariff, including any riders or
additional charges.
Customers served under this Schedule shall pay both energy and non -energy charges on a
monthly basis, in accordance with the customer's Otherwise Applicable Tariff except as
otherwise allowed by State law.

POWER COST ADJUSTMENT FACTOR
A. Applicability
The Power Cost Adjustment Factor (PCAF) is a charge per kWh which is used to adjust
the Utility's electric rates for the actual cost of purchasing and generating electric power
and energy to service the Utility's customers and to minimize fluctuations in rates.
The energy charge per kWh in each Rate Schedule recovers the costs of purchasing and
delivering power and energy from all suppliers of power and energy, other suppliers and
the cost of power from the Utility's owned generating resources.
B. Territory
Within the entire territory served.
C. Calculation
The PCAF will be calculated using the most recent six (6) month's actual power cost and
applied to each customer's following monthly billed energy (kWh).
The Adjustment shall be calculated according to the following formula:
PCAF = ((P/S) + L) — B
P = Wholesale power supplier cost*
S = Number of kilowatt-hours sold during the same time period as factor "P"
L = System annual average losses
B = The average cost of power per kilowatt-hour sold and recovered through base
retail rates
*Power Supplier Costs shall include all costs of power supply including but not
limited to costs of power production, power purchases, transmission and wheeling
payments, losses, CAISO, capacity, REC's, environmental allowances and
scheduling and dispatching.
D. Special Conditions
The PCAF, which may be either positive or negative, will be reviewed and revised
monthly to reflect actual changes.
2. Should the PCAF ever exceed the base retail rate, the Utility will cap the PCAF for
the billing month at the base retail rate and charge each customer the difference
between the PCAF and the base retail rate in the next available subsequent billing
month.
