EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In December 2017, Bartle Wells Associates (Bartle Wells) was retained by the Modesto Irrigation District (MID) to perform an Electric Cost of Service (COS) and Revenue Allocation Study (Study) as part of a broader study of the cost of service for all of MID’s lines of business. Bartle Wells retained MRW & Associates, LLC (MRW) to assist with the Study. This report describes the analysis performed for the Electric line of service (Electric) and makes projections of the cost of service relative to the rate revenue recovered under current rates from the customers of Electric.1

The report consists of six sections. Following this Executive Summary, Section 1 provides the introduction for the Study. Section 2 discusses the development of the revenue requirement for the Test Year.2 Section 3 presents the rate revenue by customer class under present rates. Sections 4 and 5 discuss the estimated revenue requirement at various levels of aggregation (e.g., Electric, function, customer class). Section 6 presents conclusions.

A. Background

MID is a California irrigation district organized in 1887 under the provisions of the Irrigation District Law. MID has the powers under the Irrigation District Law to, among other things, provide irrigation and electric service. Under Irrigation District Law, MID has the powers of eminent domain, to contract, to construct works, to fix rates and charges for commodities or services furnished, to lease its properties and to incur indebtedness.

MID is governed by a Board of Directors, the five members of which are elected from separate electoral divisions within its irrigation district boundaries for staggered four year terms. MID’s operations are carried out under the direction of the General Manager who is in charge of MID’s operations in accordance with the Board of Director’s directives and policies.

MID is located in the San Joaquin Valley in Central California, approximately 90 miles east of San Francisco, California. MID began providing electric service in 1923, and since 1940 has provided all electric service within its original 160 square mile service area, which includes the major portion of Stanislaus County. Beginning in 1996, MID has also provided electric service on a competitive basis in portions of the service area of Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E). California Assembly Bill 2638 (AB 2638), effective on January 1, 2001, added the 7.5 square mile Mountain House Community Services District in western San Joaquin County to MID’s exclusive electric service area and also designated a 400 square mile area in Southern San Joaquin County, Northern Stanislaus County and western Tuolumne County as MID’s non-exclusive electric service area. Pursuant to AB 2638, other than as set forth therein, MID is further prohibited from providing electric transmission or distribution service to retail customers in the service territory of PG&E. For the year ended December 31, 2017, MID served over

1 MID’s Fiscal Year (FY) runs from January 1 through December 31. All data contained in this report represents the MID FY unless otherwise stated. 2 The Test Year for the Study is 2018.

122,734 customers, had total retail sales of approximately 2.562 billion kWh and a peak demand of 697 MW.

To provide electric service within its service area, MID owns and operates an electric system that includes generation, transmission and distribution facilities. MID also purchases and sells power and transmission service and participates in pooling and other utility arrangements.

MID also supplies water for irrigation use in a portion of Stanislaus County and owns and operates a water treatment plant which supplies treated domestic water on a wholesale basis to the City of Modesto. MID’s irrigation system, as well as revenues from the sale of treated water, is operated and accounted for separately from Electric. Electric has no claim on the revenues of the irrigation or treated water systems.

MID’s last Electric Utility Rate Study was prepared in 2014. The MID Board approved a restructuring of electric rates in 2016 based in part on that study.

B. Cost of Service and Rate Design Process Overview

The COS and rate design process includes five steps as follows:

1. Determination of the Revenue Requirement – This first step examines the utility’s financial needs and determines the amount of revenue that must be generated from rates or non-rate revenue sources. The revenue requirement is determined on a “cash basis.” A “cash basis” analysis examines the cash obligations of the utility such as operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses, the Electric Utility’s allocated portion of MID’s administrative and general (A&G) expenses, debt service, and cash funded capital projects, and transfers to or from MID’s reserves.3

Discretionary Revenue is assigned at the discretion of the MID Board. Any Discretionary Revenue assigned to a customer class would have the effect of reducing that class’s revenue requirement and, as a result, that class’s Cost of Service.

In preparing our analysis of the electric revenues from present rates and the development of the revenue requirement, the Project Team relied upon MID’s historical audited data, the 2018 Budget, records of operation, customer billing data, and other detailed information and data compiled and provided by the MID’s management and staff.

2. Functionalization and Sub-functionalization of Costs – The revenue requirement is then assigned to the particular function or sub-function of the utility. Electric utilities like Electric typically have power supply, transmission, distribution, and customer services functions. Power Supply sub-functions may include utility-owned generation or short- and long-term purchased power from contracts or the wholesale power market. In MID’s case, Electric incurs costs related to hydroelectric generation that is controlled by Irrigation, resulting in an inter-departmental transfer from Electric to Irrigation. Transmission and Distribution sub-functions may include distribution infrastructure by voltage, metering, billing, collection, etc. In MID’s case, Electric uses right-of-way

3 At the present time, MID has a single set of reserves that are used for both Electric and Irrigation.

associated with Irrigation’s canals for siting some of its transmission and distribution facilities, resulting in an inter-departmental transfer from Electric to Irrigation. Customer sub-functions include billing and collections, customer service, meter reading, etc.

3. Classification of Costs – Once costs are functionalized, costs are then classified based on the underlying nature of the costs. Of particular importance is the determination of fixed versus variable costs. Fixed costs remain a financial obligation of the utility regardless of the amount of energy produced whereas variable costs fluctuate based on system energy requirements. Also, fixed and variable costs are associated with utility requirements to meet customer demand, energy, and customer service needs.

4. Allocation of Costs – Once costs are classified, costs are then allocated to the various customer classes. Allocation factors align with cost classification. So, demand-related costs are allocated on measures of class demand such as class contribution to the system coincident peak (CP). Energy allocation factors are based on energy consumed by customers. Customer allocation factors are based on various allocators, such as the number of customers.

These first four steps in the COS process are depicted in the figure below.

Figure 1: Typical Cost of Service Process

5. Rate Design – The fifth, and final, step is rate design, which translates COS results into rates for each customer class. The rate design establishes tariffs for each group of customers in order to fully recover all revenue requirements allocated to each customer group. Tariffs may include per-customer charges, demand charges, energy charges, or other charges. For this report, the Project Team did not propose revisions to MID’s rate design.

C. Revenue Requirements

The Project Team developed the Test Year Revenue Requirement for Electric based on the 2018 Budget with adjustments for unusual or one-time expenses or revenues. For this analysis, the Project Team used MID’s COSA model after carefully reviewing the structure and assumptions in the model. The Project Team discussed any adjustments to expenses, revenues, model structure or assumptions with MID staff.

After developing the costs of service for MID, the Project Team compared the expected rate revenue at present rates and non-rate revenues for the Test Year against the cost of service in the Test Year. MID staff provided rate revenue for the Test Year.

Based on the costs and revenues for the Test Year, the Project Team compared costs and revenues to determine any under- or over-recovery of costs based on present rates.

Table 1: MID Revenue Requirements for Electric Compared to Rate Revenues ($)

Line Category Amount 1 O&M 290,106,182 2 Capital Expenses(1) 6,465,234 3 Debt Service & Debt Service Coverage(2) 94,613,189 4 Subtotal 391,184,604 5 Less Non-Rate Revenue -11,743,023 7 Less Discretionary Revenue -9,030,000 8 Revenue Requirement 370,411,582 9 Test Year Projected Rate Revenues 356,802,380 10 Over (Under) Recovery of Costs (13,609,202) 11 Over (Under) Recovery of Costs (3.8%)

Please note the total amounts shown in the table may not sum due to rounding. Also note that this table does not include any transfers either to or from MID reserves.

Notes:

(1) Capital Expenses represent certain capital expenditures that are assumed to be paid out of current revenues. Other capital expenditures are assumed to be financed and are reflected in the Debt Service and Debt Service Coverage line item.

(2) Debt Service & Debt Service Coverage reflect the annual total principal and interest paid on existing and new debt as well as an allowance for debt service coverage.

As is seen from this table, MID’s current rates under-recover MID’s costs for Electric by $13,609,202 or 3.8%. Note that this table does not include any transfers either to or from MID reserves.

D. Cost of Service Results Compared to Current Revenue by Customer Class

The Project Team developed customer class-specific estimates of cost of service for the Test Year. To do this, the Project Team functionalized the revenue requirement into four functions (i.e., Production, Transmission, Distribution, and Customer Service), classified costs into three categories (i.e., Energy, Demand, and Customer), and then allocated those costs to each of

MID’s customer classes.4 These customer class-specific costs were then compared to rate revenue for each class. The following table presents these results.

Table 2 shows that all customer classes except for tariffs serving Small and Medium/Large Commercial customers are paying less than their costs of service (i.e., Test Year rate revenues are less than Cost of Service).

The levels of under- or over-collection for each customer class on a percentage basis are, on an absolute value basis, less than was found in late 2010, meaning that the current MID rates are “closer” to cost of service than what was found in 2010. The following table presents the level of under- or over-collection in late 2010 and under MID’s current rates.

As shown in Table 3 below, MID historically has over-recovered costs from rates paid by commercial customers taking service under Schedules GS-1, GS-2, and GS-TOU, and its policy to do so is pre-Proposition 26 legislation that is grandfathered by the measure. Commercial customers will continue to pay above their cost of service, as permitted by pre-Proposition 26 legislative choices which survive it. Moreover, because the proposed percentage of revenue allocation for those customers will decrease the extent to which commercial customers pay more than the cost of service (i.e., bringing them closer to service cost), they do not violate Proposition 26.

Based on this, the Project Team believes that the rates currently in effect at MID are reasonable.

4 For this study, “customer class” is the same as rate schedule.

I. INTRODUCTION

In December 2017, Bartle Wells Associates (Bartle Wells) was retained by the Modesto Irrigation District (MID) to perform an Electric Cost of Service (COS) and Revenue Allocation Study (Study) as part of a broader study of the cost of service for all of MID’s lines of business. Bartle Wells retained MRW & Associates, LLC (MRW) to assist with the Study.

This report describes the analysis performed for the Electric line of service (Electric) and makes projections of the cost of service relative to the rate revenue recovered under current rates from the customers of Electric.5 The report consists of six sections and an Executive Summary. Following the Executive Summary, this section provides the introduction for the Study. Section 2 discusses the development of the revenue requirement for the Test Year.6 Section 3 presents the rate revenue by customer class under present rates. Sections 4 and 5 discuss the estimated revenue requirement at various levels of aggregation (e.g., Electric, function, customer class). Section 6 presents conclusions. Appendices are attached containing schedules and other information supporting the information contained in this report.

Regular reviews of the performance of a utility’s rates are an integral part of the management of any utility and failure to monitor the rates can result in the need for significant rate actions. The Project Team recommends that, going forward, MID continue to regularly monitor and review the performance of its adopted rates and perform rate adjustments in a timely manner to preserve the financial integrity of the Electric Utility.

The analysis performed by the Project Team was designed to consider the foreseeable, known, and measurable adjustments during the Study Period. The goal was to provide MID management with information related to the degree to which costs at different levels of aggregation are being fully recovered by current rates. As with any forecast, assumptions were made and MID should note that the actual expenses and revenues may differ from the projected expenses and revenues outlined in this report due to unforeseen changes such as system growth, inflation, etc.

Electric’s transmission system consists of approximately 384 miles of facilities that are 69 kilovolts (kVs) or above. Electric’s distribution system has both overhead and underground facilities totaling 1,775.60 miles.

At the present time, MID’s electric operations are a part of the overall operations of MID (i.e., the operations are not a separate business unit).7

B. Cost of Service and Rate Design Process Overview

The COS and rate design process includes five steps as follows:

1. Determination of the Revenue Requirement – This first step examines the utility’s financial needs and determines the amount of revenue that must be generated from rates or non-rate revenue sources. The revenue requirement is determined on a “cash basis.” A “cash basis” analysis examines the cash obligations of the utility such as operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses, the Electric Utility’s allocated portion of MID’s administrative and general (A&G) expenses, debt service, and cash funded capital projects, and transfers to or from MID’s reserves.8

7 For simplicity, this report will refer to MID’s electric operations as “Electric” even though it is not a separate business unit. 8 At the present time, MID has a single set of reserves that are used for both Electric and Irrigation.

Discretionary Revenue is assigned at the discretion of the MID Board. Any Discretionary Revenue assigned to a customer class would have the effect of reducing that class’s revenue requirement and, as a result, that class’s Cost of Service.9

In preparing our analysis of the electric revenues from present rates and the development of the revenue requirement, the Project Team relied upon MID’s historical audited data, the 2018 Budget, records of operation, customer billing data, and other detailed information and data compiled and provided by the MID’s management and staff.

2. Functionalization and Sub-functionalization of Costs – The revenue requirement is then assigned to the particular function or sub-function of the utility. Electric utilities like Electric typically have power supply, transmission, distribution, and customer services functions. Power Supply sub-functions may include utility-owned generation or short- and long-term purchased power from contracts or the wholesale power market. In MID’s case, Electric incurs costs related to hydroelectric generation that is controlled by Irrigation, resulting in an inter-departmental transfer from Electric to Irrigation. Transmission and Distribution sub-functions may include distribution infrastructure by voltage, metering, billing, collection, etc. In MID’s case, Electric uses right-of-way associated with Irrigation’s canals for siting some of its transmission and distribution facilities, resulting in an inter-departmental transfer from Electric to Irrigation. Customer sub-functions include billing and collections, customer service, meter reading, etc.

3. Classification of Costs – Once costs are functionalized, costs are then classified based on the underlying nature of the costs. Of particular importance is the determination of fixed versus variable costs. Fixed costs remain a financial obligation of the utility regardless of the amount of energy produced whereas variable costs fluctuate based on system energy requirements. Also, fixed and variable costs are associated with utility requirements to meet customer demand, energy, and customer service needs.

4. Allocation of Costs – Once costs are classified, costs are then allocated to the various customer classes. Allocation factors align with cost classification. So, demand-related costs are allocated on measures of class demand such as class contribution to the system coincident peak (CP). Energy allocation factors are based on energy consumed by customers. Customer allocation factors are based on various allocators, such as the number of customers.

These first four steps in the COS process are depicted in the figure below.

5. Rate Design – The fifth, and final, step is rate design, which translates COS results into rates for each customer class. The rate design establishes tariffs for each group of customers in order to fully recover all revenue requirement allocated to each customer group. Tariffs may include per-customer charges, demand charges, energy charges, or other charges. For this report, the Project Team did not propose revisions to MID’s rate design.

II. REVENUE REQUIREMENTS

Developing the Test Year Revenue Requirement is the first step in the COS and rate design process, as shown in Figure 2. The Test Year Revenue Requirement for Electric was based on the 2018 Budget with adjustments for unusual or one-time expenses or revenues.

There are two primary revenue requirement methodologies employed in the utility industry; the cash basis and the utility basis. The primary differences between the cash basis and the utility basis involve the treatment of depreciation, return on invested capital, and debt service. The cash basis, which is the most common method used by municipalities and irrigation districts, includes debt service, but excludes depreciation and return on invested capital in the revenue requirement determination. The cash basis focuses on meeting the cash demands of the utility. The utility basis, which is most commonly used by private or for-profit utilities, includes depreciation and return on invested capital, but excludes debt service from the revenue requirement determination.

In this COS analysis, the Project Team utilized the cash basis, as it follows the traditional cash-oriented budgeting practices frequently used by government entities. In addition, the cash basis generally is easier to explain to customers since the cash basis attempts to match revenue and expenditures.

A. Projected Energy Requirements

The electric consumption by Electric’s customers is a key driver in projections of expenses and revenues. The forecast of sales and electric load associated with customer demands was developed by MID. The following table presents assumed electric sales for the Test Year by customer class.10

Total sales for the Test Year are 2,514,597 MWh. Energy supplied (which includes losses) is 2,601,796 MWh in the Test Year. Peak demand at the customer level is 664 MW in the Test Year.

B. Operations and Maintenance Expenses

The first step in developing the revenue requirement forecast for the Test Year was the development of Test Year O&M expenses. O&M expenses for the Test Year are based on MID’s 2018 budget with adjustments as necessary.

O&M expenses consist of costs from five broad categories:

• Power Production • Transmission • Distribution • Customer Accounts • Administrative and General (A&G)

The following table summarizes the O&M costs for the Test Year.

10 Details regarding sales by customer class and rate schedule are found in Appendix 1.

The following sections provide details for each of these five categories of costs.

1. Power Production

MID’s power production O&M expenses reflect the costs to operate and maintain MID’s generating fleet, purchase fuel for its gas-fired generation, purchase power pursuant to short- and long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), operate and dispatch MID’s portfolio of power supply assets to meet MID’s customer loads, and to compensate Irrigation for the net value of the energy and capacity that Electric receives from MID’s hydroelectric generating facilities. Table 8 below presents the Power Production O&M expenses for the Test Year.

MID’s largest O&M expenses for Power Production are purchased power and fuel. Each of these categories are discussed in more detail below. Most of the O&M expenses in Table 8 are self-explanatory. However, the category “Hydro Water Charge” deserves additional discussion. The Don Pedro dam has a hydroelectric generating facility. Don Pedro generates electricity that is used by Electric to serve its customers. As a result, Electric is able to avoid either purchasing or generating the quantity of electricity and capacity provided by Don Pedro. Thus, Electric avoids the costs of purchasing both energy and capacity that it receives from Irrigation. At the same time, the responsibility for building, operating, and maintaining Don Pedro has historically been split between the Electric and Irrigation business lines. Electric is responsible for the relicensing of the hydroelectric facility at Don Pedro with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

The net cost that Electric avoids associated with Don Pedro is the difference between (1) the value of energy and capacity related to the hydroelectric generation provided to Electric from Don Pedro and (2) the costs that Electric bears related to the ownership of the hydroelectric generation at Don Pedro.11

Purchased Power expenses are the largest portion of the Power Production O&M expenses, which are the largest of MID’s O&M expenses for Electric. These costs are associated with take or pay contracts, purchased power agreements, and spot market purchases to balance MID’s needs to meet load. Overall, MID’s purchased power expenses for the Test Year are about $150.4 million.

Table 9 below summarizes forecast expenses for Electric’s purchased power for the Test Year.

Fuel expenses are the second-largest portion of MID’s Power Production O&M expenses, which are the largest of MID’s O&M expenses for Electric. These costs are associated with fuel acquired by MID to operate its own power plants and fuel that is delivered to power plants with which MID has tolling agreements. All of MID’s fuel expenses for power production are related to purchases of natural gas. MID’s fuel expenses for the Test Year are $22.8 million.

2. Transmission

MID’s transmission O&M expenses reflect the costs to operate and maintain MID’s high voltage transmission system (i.e., 69 kV to 230 kV) in order to ensure safe and reliable service to MID’s retail customers. The following table presents the Transmission O&M expenses for the Test Year.

Most of the O&M expenses in Table 10 are self-explanatory. However, the category “Rents” deserves additional discussion. Irrigation has many miles of canals. These canals have land adjacent to them. In the past, MID has constructed transmission and distribution facilities on the rights-of-way of some of MID’s canals. As a result, MID was able to avoid having to lease land to site some of its transmission and distribution facilities. Thus, Electric incurs a cost that is equal to the costs Electric avoids by using Irrigation’s rights-of-way; this compensation is found in the Rents line item.12

3. Distribution

MID’s distribution O&M expenses reflect the costs to operate and maintain MID’s lower voltage distribution system (i.e., below 69 kV) in order to ensure safe and reliable service to MID’s retail customers. The following table presents the Distribution O&M expenses for the Test Year.

In addition to A&G expenses, Electric receives revenue that reimburses A&G expenses that MID bills to others (i.e., the City of Modesto). This revenue is included as a part of the non-rate revenue received by the Electric Department. This is discussed further below.

C. Debt Service

Debt service represents existing and projected debt service for Electric. The existing debt service within the Test Year Revenue Requirement includes the amortization schedules for MID debt as provided by MID. MID’s debt service costs include a 10% adder to ensure debt service coverage is consistent with bond covenants. Finally, MID plans to accelerate payment of outstanding debt. MID has taken this step for the past several years. The accelerated repayment costs included in the COSA are $24.5 million for 2018.

D. Non-Rate Revenue Electric receives non-rate revenue from various sources. The sources of non-rate revenue include customer service fees and certain interest income.14 In addition, as previously discussed, Electric receives revenue that reimburses A&G expenses that MID bills to others. The following table summarizes the major categories of non-rate revenue. The revenue reimbursing the A&G expenses that MID bills to others is included under the category “Other Operating Income”.

13 For additional information regarding the allocation of A&G expenses that are not directly assigned to the Electric Department, see Appendix 2. 14 See Appendix 2 for further discussion of allocation of interest income to Electric.

III. RATE REVENUE

MID last established its retail electric rates in 2016.18 Based on those rates and MID’s billing determinants, estimates of total rate revenue as well as rate revenue by customer class were developed. The following table summarizes the forecasted rate revenue for the Test Year.

15 This line item is the capital expenditures that MID expenses and pays out of current revenues. Source: MID. 16 This line item equals the sum of Debt Service (principal plus interest), an allocation for defeasance of debt ($24.5 million), plus an allocation for meeting debt service coverage requirements. See Appendix 1 for more details about this line item. 17 Discretionary Revenues is derived from wholesale revenues and certain interest on reserves. The MID Board has discretion to allocate these revenues on the basis of Board policy. 18 The rate adjustment in 2016 only changed rates for residential customers and the rate change was revenue neutral to that class.

IV. COST OF SERVICE RESULTS

Developing the Test Year Revenue Requirement is the first step in the Cost of Service Study, as shown in Figure 2. After determining the system revenue requirement, a COS for each customer class is developed to determine the specific costs to serve each class. Rate revenues for each Customer class revenues are compared to class revenue requirements to evaluate the current rate’s abilities to fully recover costs. MRW reviewed MID’s approach for determination of the cost to serve each customer class based on the revenue requirement developed in Section 3.

Once completed, the COS results indicate the degree to which existing rates recover the costs to serve customers.

A. Functionalization of Revenue Requirement

The second step in the COS and rate design process, as shown in Figure 2, is to functionalize the revenue requirement. Electric’s costs were unbundled into four functions: production, transmission, distribution, and customer service. The assignment of costs by function falls into two general categories: 1) direct assignments and 2) derived allocations. Direct assignments are costs that are readily associated with a specific utility function and are directly assigned to that function. For example, the purchase power contracts are an expense solely related to power supply, so it is directly assigned to that function.

Derived allocators are allocation factors that are based on the sum, average, or weighted effect of different underlying factors. Derived allocators can be complex and should reflect the logical answer to the following question – what underlying activities drive the cost of this item? Each of the four utility functions is described below.

DRAFT

November 19, 2018 MRW & Associates, LLC 16

1. Production Function

The power supply function consists of costs associated with power generation, the cost of purchased power, and procuring and administering power supply contracts.

2. Transmission Function

The transmission function consists of costs associated with operating and maintaining the transmission portion of the high-voltage electric grid and making capital investments, as necessary. The transmission facilities transmit electricity from the generation stations to the distribution system.

3. Distribution Function

The distribution function consists of costs associated with operating and maintaining the distribution portion of the electric grid and making capital investments, as necessary. The distribution facilities deliver power to the retail customers after it has been transmitted from the generation stations via the transmission grid. This includes low voltage distribution lines, distribution poles, underground lines, customer service connections, meters, and lighting-related assets.

4. Customer Service Function

The customer service function consists of costs associated with operating and maintaining the customer related facilities to meet customer support needs. This includes, but is not limited to, customer service, billing and collection, and meter reading.

The revenue requirement determined for the Test Year was unbundled into the four functional areas of the system: production, transmission, distribution, and customer. The results of the functional unbundling are summarized in the following table. These are also illustrated further in Appendix 2.

Table 17: Functionalized Test Year Revenue Requirements ($)

The production function represents approximately 78% of the Test Year Revenue Requirement. The distribution function is the second largest cost center representing approximately 14% of the

DRAFT

November 19, 2018 MRW & Associates, LLC 17

Test Year Revenue Requirement. The transmission function and the customer service function each represent 4% of the Test Year Revenue Requirement.19

B. Classification of Revenue Requirement

The third step in the COS and rate design process, as shown in Figure 2, is to classify the functionalized revenue requirement. System costs can be classified into four generally-accepted rate-making cost classifications: (1) demand or fixed costs; (2) energy or variable costs; (3) customer-related costs; and (4) directly assignable costs. In order to provide a reasonable basis for the assignment of total revenue requirements (costs) to each customer class, costs for each function have been analyzed and classified into four categories as described below.

1. Demand Costs – Capacity (fixed- or demand-related) costs are those costs incurred to maintain a utility system to allow it to meet the total combined demands of its customers. Capacity costs include demand-related purchased power costs, the fixed portion of O&M expenses, debt service, capital expenditures, and other costs that are generally fixed and do not vary materially with the quantity of energy used or that cannot be designated specifically as a customer or variable cost.

2. Energy Costs – Energy, or variable costs, are costs that vary directly with energy usage, including such items as fuel, energy-related purchased power, and a portion of O&M expenses.

3. Customer Costs – Customer costs are those costs directly related to the number and type of customers, such as customer accounting, customer service, billing, and meter related expenses.

4. Direct Assignment Costs – Direct assignment costs are those costs that are readily identifiable and applicable to a particular customer or customer class (e.g., Lighting).20 The Project Team included Discretionary Revenues in the Direct Assignment category.

Once the costs within each function are assigned to each service category, the demand, energy, customer, and direct assignment component of each service is calculated.

19 For this study, the Project Team assigned Discretionary Revenue to the Customer Service function. 20 MID’s direct assignment costs are included in Customer Costs for the purposes of classification under service category.

Source: Appendix 1, Schedule “COSA Model Functional and Classification”

In total, 50% of the Electric Utility’s total revenue requirement is energy-related or variable costs. The remaining 50% of the revenue requirement is fixed in nature and classified as demand and customer service.

V. ALLOCATION OF REVENUE REQUIREMENT

The fourth step in the COS and rate design process, as shown in Figure 2, is to allocate the functionalized, classified revenue requirement to the various customer classes. Customer classes represent aggregations of customers that have similar customer usage characteristics and use the system in a similar manner. These groups of customers have similar COS results, which justify similar rates.

A. Class Allocation Factors

Based upon actual and assumed customer service and consumption characteristics, the Project Team reviewed the various factors used by MID in its allocation of revenue requirement to individual customer classes. The Project Team examined those allocation factors to ensure that they were reasonable.

Based on our review of MID’s allocation factors, the Project Team has adopted demand related, energy-related, customer-related, and direct assignment allocation factors as described below.

1. Demand Allocations

Demand allocators are derived based on the demand requirements of individual customers and classes of customers. Costs are allocated to classes based on the class contribution to various peak allocators. This is a measure of each class’s cost responsibility associated with the infrastructure required to meet the system peak demand. As you move from the generator to the meter, the measure of peak demand responsibility changes from a system perspective (coincident peak), to a class perspective (non-coincident peak), to a customer perspective (demand at meter). Demand contributions at these various points in the system are determined based on information provided by MID.

For customer class allocation purposes, the Peak Hours allocator (average capacity need during top 90% hours of system demand), 12-month coincident peak (12CP), and annual non-coincident peak (NCP) were used to allocate demand-related power supply and transmission related costs.

DRAFT

November 19, 2018 MRW & Associates, LLC 19

The 12CP allocator was used to allocate winter and year-round baseload-related power supply costs. The Peak Hours allocator was used to allocate the peaking related power supply costs during summer months. Transmission costs for Electric were also allocated using the Peak Hours method for summer, which recognizes that the transmission system is constructed to deliver power at the times of the maximum system peak.

Similarly, distribution infrastructure is designed to meet the maximum demands of the localized system or customers, so the NCP allocation factor was used for distribution costs at different voltage levels. An NCP allocator is typically used to allocate distribution costs, as these facilities are sized to meet localized peak demands rather than the system peak demand. The NCP method was used to allocate the distribution system demand-related costs associated with substations, poles, conductors, and distribution transformers.

To account for variability in demands and loads between years, the load data for the last 5 years was used to determine the demand allocators.

The following table presents the various demand allocators utilized in the Study. These represent the percentage of demand costs that are allocated to each rate schedule based on their load characteristics. The data behind these factors are illustrated further in Appendix 1.

2. Energy Allocations

Energy allocation factors are the basis for allocating costs or expenses classified as variable or energy related and are assumed to vary directly with kWh sales. Energy-related costs classified as variable were energy costs from fuel, purchased power, and costs related to system control and load dispatching. The energy necessary to supply each customer class21 is used to allocate these types of costs to individual customer classes. The following table lists the energy allocation

3. Customer Allocations

Customer costs are defined as those costs related to the number of customers and the type of service required. Included in the customer-related costs are the costs associated with meter reading, customer service, sales, billing, collection, and other customer-related activities. The customer allocation factors were largely based on the number of customers in each class.

In allocating certain customer-related costs to the various customer classifications, weighted customer allocation factors were utilized. Weighting reflects that servicing certain types of customers requires more effort and expenses than other types of customers. Weighting factors were adopted from information provided by MID staff. Weighting factors reflect the relationships between the customer classes and the types of equipment or services needed to serve the class and the relative costs of those items. For example, large customers may have more than one meter per customer while residential customers usually have one meter per customer. Thus, the weighting factor for meters is 1 for residential customers, while it is a higher number for commercial customers. The number of customer accounts in each class are shown in the table below. Further details can be found in Appendix 1.

4. Direct Assignment Allocations

Certain costs are not allocated to customer classes using the revenue allocators. Instead, those costs are directly assigned to the customer class that is responsible for them. An example of a directly-assigned cost would be O&M costs related to maintenance of streetlight equipment. MID’s direct assignment allocations are included in the Customer Cost classification.

As discussed elsewhere, the Project Team assigned Discretionary Revenues (e.g., wholesale revenues, certain interest income) to specific customer classes.

As can be seen from the above table, the residential rate class is MID’s biggest rate class, followed by GS-2, which is a medium/large commercial class, and GS-3 which is an industrial class. MID’s production function is by far the costliest function, while costs are slightly more evenly distributed when classified between demand, energy and customer costs, as the distribution costs are included in the Customer costs classification.

C. Cost of Service Results Compared to Current Revenue

Estimated operating costs were developed by the Project Team to compare the revenue generated under current rates to the current operating costs of Electric. The following table summarizes the variance between the Test Year Revenue Requirement and the annual revenue generated from current rates, by customer class. The result of comparing the projected revenues to the customer class revenue requirements indicate the degree to which existing rates recover revenues from each customer class on a COS basis.

Source: Appendix 1, Schedule 1

As shown in Table 23, overall COS analysis forecasts that current costs are $370,411,582 and the current rate revenue is $356,802,380.

Table 23 shows that all customer classes except for tariffs serving Small and Medium/Large Commercial customers are paying less than their costs of service (i.e., Test Year rate revenues are less than Cost of Service). For example, Residential’s Cost of Service is $164,434,962 but its Rate Revenues under current rates are only $155,733,609, meaning that Residential’s Cost of Service is 5.6% greater than its rate revenue. The levels of under- or over-collection for each customer class on a percentage basis are, on an absolute value basis, less than was found in late 2010, meaning that the current MID rates are “closer” to cost of service than what was found in 2010. The following table presents the level of under- or over-collection in late 2010 and under MID’s current rates.

D. Grandfathering Under Proposition 26 As shown in Table 24 above, MID historically has over-recovered costs from rates paid by commercial customers taking service under Schedules GS-1, GS-2, and GS-TOU, and its policy to do so is pre-Proposition 26 legislation that is grandfathered by the measure. Commercial customers will continue to pay above their cost of service, as permitted by pre-Proposition 26 legislative choices which survive it. Moreover, because the proposed percentage of revenue allocation for those customers will decrease the extent to which commercial customers pay more than the cost of service (i.e., bringing them closer to service cost), they do not violate Proposition 26.

Based on this, the Project Team believes that the rates currently in effect at MID are reasonable.

VI. CONCLUSIONS

The Project Team concludes:

• The rates currently in force at MID are reasonable given the cost of service for MID. • The rate revenue collected by Electric is less than MID’s cost of service for Electric. • Any under- or over-collection of cost of service by Electric pursuant to the rates currently

in effect are similar or less than the level of under- or over-collection of cost of service by Electric as was found in early 2011 (based on a Cost of Service Analysis prior to the enactment of Proposition 26), meaning that the MID rates that are currently in force are reasonable based on the grandfathering of the levels of under- or over-collection found in early 2011.

1 INTRODUCTION The Modesto Irrigation District (MID) has three distinct lines of service; providing electricity to retail customers (Electric), providing water to irrigation customers (Irrigation), and providing treated water to the City of Modesto (Domestic Water). MID hired consultants from Bartle Wells Associates and (MRW and Associates) MRW to (1) recommend a framework for allocating revenues and expenses between its lines of service, (2) apply this framework to MID’s 2018 budget, and (3) identify whether current rates comply with Proposition 26 requirements. Proposition 26 requires that rates collected for one line of service not subsidize another line of service.   The consulting team created an allocation framework for MID’s lines of service with three primary objectives: 

1. Ensure the revenues and expenses benefitting only one line of service are being directly allocated to that line of service. 

2. Identify expense and revenue categories which benefit multiple lines of service and make sure they are being reasonably split between the lines.  

3. Identify and quantify the value one line of service may be providing another line of service.   

The following report explains the consulting team’s recommendations for a framework to use going forward and presents the results from applying the recommended framework to the 2018 budget. 

1.1 MID Overview MID was established as the second irrigation district in California in 1887 to provide irrigation water to the Central Valley In 1923, after completion of the original Don Pedro Dam, MID began generating and selling electricity. In 1994 MID began providing potable water to the City of Modesto.  Today MID provides irrigation water to about 3,100 accounts irrigating over 100,000 acres, electric service to about 123,000 accounts located over 560 square miles, and one third of the water supply serving the City of Modesto’s 73,000 accounts.     2 A&G ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY MID incurs expenses and receives revenues for various activities that benefit multiple lines of service. These revenues and expenses are categorized as Administrative and General (A&G). Examples of A&G activities are:

Because A&G cannot be directly assigned to Electric, Irrigation, and Domestic Water it is necessary to allocate A&G to each line of service.   

2.1 A&G Allocation Methods   There are a number of approaches that can be taken to allocate A&G to different lines of service. Generally accepted approaches include:  

x Allocation based on input from functional area:  Examples of functional areas are information technology and finance.  Under this approach, employees in each functional area providing A&G services to the utility are surveyed and asked to allocate the benefit their area provides to each line of service. A typical approach would be to survey managers of each specific department and have the managers develop allocation factors for different A&G categories under their control. MID currently uses this approach to allocate A&G to Domestic Water.1  

x Allocation based on factor(s):  Under this approach, A&G costs that cannot be directly assigned to a function are allocated based on factors that are deemed representative of the appropriate split of costs between functions. Examples of such allocators are operating and maintenance (O&M) costs by function, revenue by function, and the size of each line of service (e.g., gross plant, number of employees).  

 Both approaches have been used by other utilities with multiple lines of service to allocate A&G.  

2.1.1 Strengths and Weaknesses of Different Allocation Methods:   The following section discusses the strengths and weaknesses for each method for allocating A&G.   

x Allocation based on input from functional area:  This approach relies on the expertise of a utility’s departmental managers to develop allocation factors by department. This is both a strength and a weakness to the approach. It is a strength because the utility’s managers should have a good understanding of how much time and effort their individual departments spend supporting the work of the utility’s different lines of business. This approach allows for greater detail because there can be specific allocations for each line item of A&G in the budget. However, this approach is based on an individual’s judgement which can be subjective. This potential weakness is mitigated by having additional review of the final allocations.

x Allocation based on factor(s):  This approach removes potential subjectivity from the allocation of A&G to function as it is completely transparent. A challenge presented by this approach is the factors are one‐size‐fits‐all for each A&G line item in the budget. This can make it difficult to determine the appropriate allocation factor(s). It is important to select one or more factor(s) that are indicative of the size of the utility and the degree to which each function within the utility relies on unassigned A&G.  

2.2 A&G Allocation Approach   

2.2.1 Domestic Water The consulting team believes it is reasonable to continue to identify Domestic Water A&G expenses based on input from functional area (manager surveys) for the following reasons:  

x Domestic Water operations are relatively new and distinct when compared to Irrigation and Electric operations which have been intertwined for almost a century. Domestic Water operations are geographically distinct because they occur at the Modesto Regional Water Treatment Plant. The water treatment plant’s only purpose is to serve Domestic Water.   

x Domestic Water A&G is transparent as it is reviewed by the City of Modesto.   Domestic Water’s portions of A&G expenses are shown in Table 4 of the Appendix in the column “DW A&G %”.  The contractual arrangement with the City of Modesto is structured so that Domestic Water A&G expenses are paid based on the budget and are trued up annually based on actual costs. The consulting team recommends Domestic Water A&G expenses and the corresponding reimbursement from the City be treated as A&G by Electric and Irrigation.  

2.2.2 Electric and Irrigation In order to ensure compliance with Proposition 26, the consulting team recommends MID use allocation factor(s) for the assignment of A&G to Electric and Irrigation. The reasons for this are:  

x Transparency: The allocation of A&G can be a complex matter in utility ratemaking. In order to ensure that the assignment process is clear and unambiguous, it is necessary to exclude subjective decisions by utility managers from the process. The transparency ensures that the assignment is done based on publicly‐available data.  

x Accepted Practice: Allocation of A&G using so‐called “utility factors” has been used by many utilities. It is the accepted approach used at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.2 It is

2.2.3 Recommended Allocation Factors The consulting team tested various possible allocation factors using MID’s 2016 budget and 2016 actuals. These factors included allocations based on revenue, O&M, gross plant in service, and number of employees. Based on this review, the consulting team recommends using a four‐factor allocation method based on revenue, O&M, gross plant in service, and number of employees. This allocation scheme has been used by many combination utilities including San Diego Gas & Electric. It allocates slightly more A&G to Electric than the approach based on input from managers. This is appropriate given the much larger gross plant, O&M expenses and rate revenues for Electric when compared to Irrigation.  The following tables summarize the allocators based on different factors:

2.3 Utility Factors Calculation Methodology The consulting team recommends using a three‐year average for each factor to make the results more predictable. The recommended methodology for each factor is as follows: 

2.3.1 Direct Expenses Factor Each expense line item in the MID financial system was reviewed and categorized as Irrigation, Electric, or A&G. The sum of direct expenses for Electric and Irrigation, less Domestic Water A&G expenses, in each year are included in the direct expenses factor calculation. The consulting team recommends using a three‐year average which includes the budget year for this factor because budgeted expenses are used to calculate user fees and reflect any operational changes planned for the next year. This calculation is shown in detail in Appendix A, Table 1. 

2.3.2 Direct Revenues Factor Each revenue line item in the MID financial system was reviewed and categorized as Irrigation, Electric, or A&G. The sum of direct revenues for Electric and Irrigation in each year are included in the direct revenues factor calculation. The consulting team recommends using a three‐year average which includes the budget year for this factor because budgeted expenses are used to calculate user fees and reflect any operational changes planned for the next year. This calculation is shown in detail in Appendix A, Table 2. 

2.3.3 Number of Employees Factor MID staff provided the count of employees by line of service in each year. The consulting team recommends using a three‐year average which excludes the budget year for this factor because the actual staffing levels have remained consistent over time. This calculation is shown in detail in Appendix A, Table 3. 

2.3.4 Gross Plant in Service Factor MID staff provided the gross plant in service by line of service in each year. The consulting team recommends using a three‐year average which excludes the budget year for this factor because gross plant has remained consistent over time. This calculation is shown in detail in Appendix A, Table 3

3.1 Other Revenues The consulting team concludes that some line items under the category “Other Revenue” in the MID budget may be considered discretionary by MID’s Board of Directors. The noted line items are as follows:  

x PRJ ‐ Fiber Optic Revenue o This revenue is rent paid to run fiber optic lines on MID property. The consulting 

team concludes that it is reasonable to treat income from rents as discretionary. x PRJ ‐ Interest Income 

o The consulting team recommends Interest identified as direct should be allocated directly but all other interest should be treated as discretionary based on California Government Code section 53647, which allows interest revenue to be used for general fund purposes.  

x PRJ ‐ Late Penalties o Late penalties are not fees for a service and may be considered discretionary. 

x PRJ ‐ Rental of District Property o The consulting team concludes it is reasonable to treat income from rents as 

discretionary. x PRJ ‐ Warehouse Sales 

o Warehouse sales are essentially windfall revenue, as the items sold are usually completely depreciated and would be disposed of if there was no buyer. It reasonable to consider windfall revenue as discretionary. 

 The outcome of applying these recommendations to MID’s 2018 budget is $6.5 million of discretionary revenue. 

3.2 Wholesale Power Revenues Based on the recent California Supreme Court ruling in Citizens for Fair REU Rates v. City of Redding,4 gross wholesale power revenues may be transferred to a utility’s general fund, to be used for any lawful purpose, such as funding the cost of irrigation service.  Thus, wholesale power revenues are also discretionary.  The outcome of applying this recommendation to MID’s 2018 budget is an additional $9.5 million of discretionary revenue.  4 INTERFUNCTIONAL VALUE When the assets of one line of service provide value to another line of service it is reasonable for the benefitting line of service to pay for that value. The consulting team reviewed MID’s lines of service and identified two areas where interfunctional value is being provided and developed methodologies to quantify those values.                                                        4 (2018) 6 Cal.5th 1

4.1 Value of Electric Transmission Along Irrigation Canals The value of the right‐of‐way along MID canals used by Electric is equal to the necessary land needed for transmission and distribution right‐of‐way multiplied by rental value of land from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the MID service territory ($456.55/acre for BLM rental zone 9).5 MID provided the number of poles on the MID canals (2,540) and the typical span between poles (300 feet). MID also provided the distribution of line miles by voltage as well as the width of right‐of‐way needed by voltage. The following table presents this information, which is used to estimate the average width of right‐of‐way on the MID system:  Table 4: Right‐of‐Way Width Calculation

Using these inputs, we estimated the rental value of right‐of‐way used on MID’s canals as $414,699. The following table summarizes the calculation:  Table 5: 2018 Right‐of‐Way Value Calculation 

 

4.2 Value of Hydroelectric Power from Don Pedro MID owns 31.54% (63 Megawatts) of the Don Pedro hydropower facility (Don Pedro) located on the Tuolumne River. Turlock Irrigation District owns the rest of the Don Pedro hydropower facility. MID uses the power from this facility to serve a portion of MID’s electric load. MID’s ownership of this hydropower facility is the result of Irrigation operations because the dam is historically an Irrigation asset, as is the water contained by the dam, which ultimately produces hydropower.  Moreover, if MID had not developed retail electric operations it would have been able to sell its generation capacity and energy on the open market and use this revenue to fund irrigation service.   The consulting team believes it is reasonable for Electric to compensate Irrigation for the value of Don Pedro hydroelectric generation capacity and generated power for the following reasons:  

x MID’s ownership of hydro generation capacity in Don Pedro only exists due to Irrigation.  x MID’s original intent when it began generating hydropower from the Don Pedro Dam was to 

reduce the rates paid by Irrigation customers. x MID could have opted to not make the hydro value available to retail electric customers and 

sold the capacity and energy on the open market. x Electric benefits from the dedicated, close, green, reliable source of electricity. 

4.2.1 Hydropower Valuation Methodology The consulting team recommends using the market value of energy and capacity provided by the Don Pedro hydropower facility to quantify the value of the services provided by the Don Pedro hydropower facility to MID’s Electric rate payers.

Using the value of energy and capacity is a bottom‐up approach. The unrecovered value of Don Pedro is assessed as the market value of the energy and capacity that Don Pedro provides, less the costs for relicensing of Don Pedro, A&G expenses, Don Pedro capital expenses, and other hydropower expenses that are already paid for by electric customers. 

 The consulting team recommends using this method for the assessment of the value of services provided by Don Pedro, for the following reasons:  

x Easy to Understand: This assessment uses simple inputs of Don Pedro’s energy and capacity production and established market prices for energy and capacity. These inputs can be easily understood and changed.  

x Transparency: As the inputs used are publicly available market prices for energy and capacity on the CAISO grid, there is little room for adjustments that could skew results one way or another. 

 x Clarity: This approach clearly demonstrates the costs of running Don Pedro and the value of 

services obtained from Don Pedro so there is no confusion or double counting of costs or the value of services. 

4.2.2 Implementation In order to properly implement this valuation methodology, it is important to clearly define the sources for the market prices of energy and capacity and the costs related to Don Pedro that are already paid by Electric customers.  

x Market prices of energy and capacity: MRW relied on publicly available sources for the prices of energy and capacity that would be used to value the services provided by Don Pedro. For the price of the energy, MRW used historical prices for the NP15 node from CAISO’s OASIS database and Platt’s Megawatt Daily. For future energy prices MRW used publicly available data from the Nodal Exchange futures reports from August 2018. For capacity, MRW relied on the resource adequacy (RA) reports from the California Public Utilities Commission for current and historic RA prices and assumed that new plants will likely not be needed to be built for capacity purposes and prices will remain relatively stable in coming years. 

 x Don Pedro costs paid by Electric customers: Any cost related to the Don Pedro Dam included 

in Electric’s cost‐of‐service study will be netted out of the Value of Energy & Capacity.  

x Projected flows: Several flow scenarios were reviewed, and the consulting team recommends basing the value on average flow projections for 2018.

   5 APPLYING ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY

5.1.1 Recommended Allocation of Expenses The consulting team and MID staff went through each expense line of MID’s 2018 budget to classify it as A&G, Electric, or Irrigation. The methodology to allocate the expenses is as follows:  

x First, the Domestic Water A&G expense portion of each expense line item in the budget is identified and allocated to Electric and Irrigation as A&G based on the utility factors.   

x Next, the remaining expense in each budget line item is allocated as it was reclassified; to either Electric, Irrigation, or A&G. The complete, reclassified 2018 budget is attached in Appendix A, Table 4. 

 5.1.2 Recommended Allocation of Other Revenues 

Actual revenues for each line item under the “Other Revenue” category in the MID budget are recorded to the line of service tied to the revenue. If the revenue is not related to a specific line of service it is recorded as A&G. The consulting team recommends projecting the split of budgeted revenue to each line of service for rate making purposes. The team recommends basing the projected split on the percentage of the last three years of recorded actual revenues to minimize anomalies. This process was performed for the 2018 budget and is found in Appendix A, Table 5.

6 RECOMMENDATIONS APPLIED TO THE 2018 BUDGET The consulting team’s recommended allocation framework was applied to MID’s 2018 budget.  The net revenues were calculated to test whether each line of service could operate without needing additional rate revenue. If the sum of negative net revenues for each line of service are less than MID’s total available discretionary revenue, no line of service will need a rate increase in order to fund the cost of service. The following table exhibits the result of this exercise.  Table 7: Net Revenues by Service Line 

 

6.1.1 Domestic Water Results The net revenue of Domestic Water is zero. This is expected because the City of Modesto is contractually obligated to reimburse MID for all expenses. 

6.1.2 Irrigation Results After applying the allocation framework Irrigation requires $6.5 million of the identified $16.0 million of discretionary revenues to have zero net revenue.   Irrigation could select to finance the 2018 capital projects. Assuming a thirty‐year term with a 4.5% interest rate, projected annual debt service payments for the budgeted capital in 2018 would be

6.1.3 Electric Enterprise Electric is projected to have net revenues of ‐$13.7 million. The negative net revenue is due to MID’s planned defeasance of outstanding debt.    7 RESERVE POLICY RECOMMENDATION The consulting team recommends that MID begin to track a separate reserve balance for each line of service and a balance for discretionary funds. This will ensure that rate revenue from one line of service does not benefit another line of service. Based on the recent California Supreme Court ruling in the Citizens for Fair REU Rates v. City of Redding the consulting team recommends MID track surpluses from the sale of wholesale power in the discretionary reserve balance.   8 CONCLUSION The consulting team made recommendations which provide MID a reasonable framework to fairly apportion revenues and expenses to each line of service. The recommendations are as follows: 

x Use the identified direct Electric and Irrigation revenue and expense categories x Use a three‐year average of actual “other revenue” to allocate budgeted “other revenue” x Continue allocating Domestic Water A&G using the manager survey method x Use the Utility Factor method to allocate A&G between Electric and Irrigation x Have Electric and Irrigation treat Domestic Water A&G expenses and revenues as A&G x Electric should transfer an amount to Irrigation based on the recommended Don Pedro 

hydro value methodology  x Electric should transfer an amount to Irrigation for the value of transmission right‐of‐way on 

irrigation canals based on BLM rates.  These recommendations allow each line of service to reasonably account for all revenues and expenses when setting rates for that service.   The consulting team applied the recommended framework to MID’s 2018 budget and found that there are sufficient discretionary revenues to allow each line of service to be in compliance with Proposition 26 without raising Electric or Irrigation rates.
