Light & Power Committee FROM: Bob Dekker 1- DATE: January 7, 1988 SUBJECT: Rate Options for Residential-Demand Customers As we have discussed several times in the past, many seasonal or part-time customers on our Residential-Demand Metered Tariff think they are paying excessive costs for electricity. Generally the " ratchet" on the demand component of the rate is the cause for most of the consternation. Most folks can't understand why there should be any demand charge at all when they are not using their homes. You authorized R. W. Beck to study this situation to see if any optional rate could be offered that would reduce the impact to the part-time electric consumer and still would not cut our electric revenues excessively. The attached Beck letter discusses the results of their study. Based on this report, it appears Case 2, which gives a customer the option to convert to the General Service-Small Tariff, or Case 4, which eliminates the demand ratchet, would be the best choices. However, we are prepared to discuss all of the options that Beck investigated. 1-,·it·,hom' C 41)1) 586-5-331 R.

DD-2027-ER2-AX December 23, 1987 Mr. Robert L. Dekker Director Light and Power Department Town of Estes Park Post Office Box 1200 Estes Park, Colorado 80517 Dear Bob: The additional cases which you requested have been completed. These cases show the effects of allowing the customer to choose between the current Residential Demand rate and an alternative rate, which would be the Residential rate in Case 1 or the General Service Small rate in Case 2. In the process of modeling the additional cases discrepancies between the customer billings and demand data became apparent. Demand data was available which we would not match up with a corresponding account currently being billed. These accounts were removed from the model. Another discrepancy discovered was that some accounts contained charges for energy use but the demand data showed zero demand for the period. The demand values for these accounts have been calculated by backing out the demand portion of the bill. Because of these corrections the cases on which we reported to you earlier have been rerun and the results included herein. The following is a summary of our findings. Case 1: The tustomer is given the choice of continuing on the Residential Demand rate or switching to the Residential rate. Under the above scenario it is estimated that 48 percent of the customers will switch and revenues are estimated to decline by $30,500 out of $408,600 or a 7.5 percent reduction. Case 2: The customer is given the choice of continuing on the Residential Demand rate or switching to the General Service Small rate. Under this scenario 23 percent of the customers are estimated to switch over with an estimated loss of revenue of $13,150 out of $408,600 or a 3.2 percent reduction. Case 3: The 60 percent ratchet will only be applied when there is recorded use on the system. In cases where there is no use the customer will pay only the service charge. Seattle.\VA • Denver.

Dekker -2- December 23, 1987 Revenue loss is estimated to be $7,200; with total revenues of $408,600 this would represent a 1.8 percent reduction. Case 4 The ratchet would no longer be in effect and customers would only be billed on demand, energy and a service charge. Revenue loss is estimated to be $14,300 out of $408,600 or a 3.5 percent reduction. Case 5 Present ratchet of 60 percent is reduced to 40 percent. Revenue loss is estimated to be $7,200 out of $408,600 or a 1.8 percent reduction. We apologize for the delay in getting our results to you, but as you can see the job contained elements no one was aware of at the onset of the project. In order to do the job within cost constraints acceptable to both parties, the majority of the work was done by Sharon Podein outside of regular office hours so as to prevent additional charges being billed to you. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter and we are available to discuss any questions you may have concerning our results. Sincerely, R. W. BECK AND ASSOCIATES 42 62 Uu--, / 0 Stuart C.
