The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does ordain as follows:
Section 1: Chapter 3.46.130 (E) of Title 3 of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code is hereby
amended as follows:
Chapter 3.46.130 Rates and optional rates
E. Power cost adjustment factor(PCAF). The PCAF is a charge per kWh which is used:
1. 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
2. To minimize fluctuations in rates;
3. 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. The PCAF will reflect all changes
in energy costs, including the following:
a. Changes in any component of the wholesale rate;
b. Changes in transmission and wheeling payments;
c. Changes in scheduling and dispatching payments;
d. Changes in contract incremental costs;
e. Changes in economy energy purchases;
f. Changes in take-or-pay obligations.
4. The PCAF as set forth in the tariff schedule shall be applied to kWh sold on and after the
effective date, as also set forth below, and continuing thereafter until a new PCAF becomes
effective. The amount to be added to or subtracted from each bill due to the PCAF shall be
calculated by multiplying the number of kWh for which the bill is rendered by the applicable
PCAF. The PCAF, which may be either positive or negative, will be reviewed and revised
monthly to reflect actual changes. The city council shall have responsibility for establishing the
PCAF and its effective date.
Section 2: The City Council declares that, should any section, subsection, subdivision,
sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any reason is held to be invalid or unconstitutional
by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this
Ordinance, and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof,

irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses,
phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 3: Neither the adoption of this Ordinance nor the repeal of any other Ordinance of this
City shall in any manner affect the prosecution for violations of ordinances, which violations were
committed prior to the effective date hereof, nor be construed as a waiver of any penalty or the penal
provisions applicable to any violation thereof.
Section 4: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the
same to be published in the manner prescribed by law.
