Council Agenda Item 4 d
November 6, 2008
AGENDA ITEM: Energy Peak Shave -Requested Action: Authorize
execution of an agreement with Northern States Power Company to participate in the Peak Control
Program for a period of five years.
SUBMITTED BY:
Public Works/Administration
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The Council considered participation in Xcel's Peak Control Program at
the October 16, 2008 Council meeting and requested additional information be provided at the next
Council meeting. The Council was looking for the financial impact and time commitment for
participation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since the last Council meeting Xcel has provided the City with data that
illustrates each time there was a peak control event. When a peak control event occurs the City
converts to generator power which requires staff to convert. The City would be required to pay staff
overtime when the peak event occurs outside of working hours. The table included in your packet
illustrates the history of the events with date and time. Staff has added a column illustrating what the
City staff time would have cost the City if we were a participant in the program. Keep in mind that it will
most likely take two employees, so the cost must be doubled. In addition to staff time the City would
also incur fuels costs and they are illustrated on the table as well.
Based on the information provided, the City would benefit from participating in the program. Xcel has
calculated the saving on energy cost to be $ 3,636.00. In 2008 there were no peak events that required
conversion to generators. The contract with Xcel is for a five year period and the City has the option to
review the program after one year. If after one year the City does not want to participate we can end
the agreement, paying back the rates savings received during that twelve month period.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Savings of $ 2,800 to$ 3,636 annually, depending on number of
events.
ATTACHMENTS: Cost Analysis for participation, Tier Two rate information, Rules
for Peak control Program, Agreement.
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize execution of the agreement between Northern States
Power Company and the City of St. Joseph to participate in the Peak Shave Program for a five year
period.

Peak-Controlled Tiered 2 Rate
(Electric Reduction Savings)
Customers can help Xcel Energy reduce peak demand by signing up for the Peak-Controlled Tier 2
Rate. As a result, they can save up to 51 percent on annual demand charges. To participate,
customers sign a five year contract in which they commit to give six months cancellation notice upon
completion of the initial 5 year contract term.
How Does the Program Work?
To qualify for the Peak-Controlled Tier 2 Rate, customers must be able to reduce their demand for
electric power to a predetermined demand level (PDL) when Xcel Energy experiences a peak
demand period. Peak demand periods usually occur on hot, humid, summer days and last
approximately 6.5 to 8.5 hours.
Predetermined Demand Level (PDL)
With the help of an Xcel Energy sales representative, customers determine their PDL, which must
represent a demand reduction of 50 kilowatts (kW) or more during the summer months of June, July,
August or September. The PDL then serves as the maximum amount of demand the customer can
use during a control period. Customers that can't control at least 50 kW do not qualify for this rate. If a
customer's controllable load drops below 50 kW, he or she must return to the General Service Rate.
Control Periods
Xcel Energy goal is to notify customers at least one hour before a control period, which normally
occurs on weekdays during the summer months (June through September}. However, in an
emergency, Xcel Energy may request a control period at any time and during any season with only a
short notice. We will only control as many customers as necessary and for only as long as
necessary.
Control periods are limited to no more than 80 hours per calendar year for Peak-Controlled Tier 2
customers. Xcel Energy bills all of the customer's controllable demand at the Peak-Controlled Tier 2
discount rate, regardless of how many control period hours are actually experienced.
Xcel Energy divides its Peak-Controlled Tier 2 service customers into two groups: Even Calendar
Day and Odd Calendar Day. A normal peak day requires only one control group. On control days,
Xcel Energy staff notifies this group to control its energy use (the Even group on even-numbered
days and the Odd group on odd-numbered days). This "even-odd" plan helps prevent back-to-back
control period days and minimizes a customer's total number of control period days.
On a borderline system peak day, Xcel Energy will notify one group to control its energy use (the
Even group on even-numbered days and the Odd group on odd-numbered days). The group not
called initially on the borderline system peak day potentially may be notified to control their load if
Xcel Energy's load continues to grow. However, a system peak day may require both customer
groups to control their demand. Please see the Peak-Controlled Tier 2 Control Period Guidelines for a
sample control schedule.
Customers have access to convenient toll-free phone numbers that update them on the likelihood of a
control period. The Peak-Controlled Tier 2 number for odd-day customers is 1-800-824-8429, for
even-day customers the number is 1-800-545-3970.
Control Period Penalties
The penalty charges for Tier 2 customers who exceed their predetermined demand level (PDL) during
control periods are $8.00 per excess kW. The penalty is calculated by multiplying the specific penalty
charge by the excess kW for each control period (See example below).
Control Period Date PDL Peak Demand Excess Demand Penalt
Jul 18th 50 60 kW 10 kW $8 * 10 kW = $80
Jul 19th 50 70 kW 20 kW 8 * 20 kW = 160
Total Penalt Char es for Au ust $240
In addition to the new penalty charges, the customer's firm demand charges for the billing month
(using the example above) will be the difference between their monthly peak demand and their
highest demand on a control period day in that month. In this case, since 70 kW was the highest
demand during a control period, this customer's firm demand for their August billing month is 70 kW.
Performance Factor Level
The performance factor is a rating that reflects the extent to which a customer's organization can
reduce its demand at the times that Xcel Energy needs conservation the most. The more demand a
customer's organization can reduce during peak periods, the higher its performance factor and
potential savings.
To determine the performance factor, Xcel Energy first calculates the customer's July/August
controllable demand. The July/August controllable demand is the average of the customer's
July/August maximum demand recorded on the meter between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. minus the
customer's PDL. The July/August controllable demand figure then is divided by the customer's
maximum annual controllable demand; this is the customer's performance factor level. [Note: The
annual controllable demand is the maximum annual demand minus the PDL.]
If the performance factor is at least 85%, the customer's assigned performance factor is level C
discount, the highest discount. If the performance factor is between 65 - 84%, the customer's
assigned performance factor is level B discount. If the performance factor is less than 65%, the
customer's assigned performance factor is level A discount.

Pertormance Factor > 85%; Level C discount
When a customer signs up for the Tier 2 rate, Xcel Energy will determine their performance factor
level (A, B, or C) based on their previous year energy use. Customers must have had a recording
device installed on their meters for the previous July and August in order for Xcel Energy to calculate
their performance factor. If no data is available, the customer will begin at Level A. Upon completion
of the first summer, if it is determined that the customers performance factor level was greater than
Level A, they may be eligible for retroactive credit. Performance factors are reviewed at the end of
each year and, when necessary, are adjusted up or down for the following year.
In general, customers who use electricity consistently throughout the year, such as
manufacturing plants, foundries, hospitals and some warehouses, tend to have higher
performance factors. Customers who are seasonal in nature, such as schools or seasonal
manufacturers, and customers who use their facilities on weeknights and weekends, such as
churches and meeting halls, generally will be at performance factor Level A.
Contractual Agreement
After customers decide how much demand they can control during a control period, they then sign a
five-year contract with Xcel Energy, agreeing to limit their demand to their PDL when Xcel Energy
sets a control period.

1. KIND OF SERVICE: Company agrees to supply and Customer agrees to accept electric service in the form of « hase»
Phase, «wire» Wire, Alternating Current at a nominal frequency of 60 Hertz and at a nominal voltage of «volts» ,for
Customer's use solely for the operation of electric equipment now installed or to be installed by Customer on the property
known as «pname» located at «addr».
2. ANNUAL MINIMUM DEMAND CHARGE: In consideration of the capacity commitment by Company and its
investment in facilities to serve Customer, Customer agrees that if the net demand charge payments during any contract year
hereunder, in accordance with the rate selected specified in Section 4 below, amount to less than the minimum demand charge
specified in this rate schedule, the difference between such minimum demand charge and said net demand charge payment shall
be included in the bill following the contract anniversary month and Customer agrees to pay same as a charge for service
rendered.
3. TERM: This Agreement shall commence at 12:01 A.M. on January 1, 2009 and shall continue for a period
ending at 12:01 A.M. 5 years from the commencement date and if not then terminated by at least six months prior
written notice by either party for Tier 2 customers or by at least 36 months prior written notice by either party for Tier 1
customers, shall continue further until so terminated.
4. RATE: Customer agrees to qualify for and elects the rate schedule for «RATFSH», Tier «ratecodeopt».
Customer agrees to pay Company's established rate schedule in effect from time to time in this locality for such Service, the
established rate schedule now in effect being the one attached hereto. Effective with the term commencement date, the rate code
is: «ratecd» .However, the specific rate and rate code are subject to change following an annual evaluation of Performance
Factor based on Customer's previous 12 months usage. This rate and rate code change does not require Customer authorization.
5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: The service hereunder shall be supplied for Customer's use subject to the General Rules and
Regulations of Company on file with the state regulatory commission as they now exist or may hereafter be changed. A copy of
such rules and regulations is available from the Company. This agreement is also subject to Sections(s) «sectns» appearing under
the heading "Additional Terms and Conditions" which are attached to this Agreement. Customer agrees to use electrical service
only as herein stated and will not assign this Agreement except upon written consent of Company.
6. MINIlv1UM DEMAND CHARGE DIFFERENTIAL: Company agrees that during the term of this agreement, the
minimum average annual demand charge differential will be the average annual differential between the firm demand and
controllable demand rates resulting from application of the variable interruption credit determination of the currently effective
rate schedule as of the date of this agreement and listed in Section 4 above.
7. MAXIMUM HOURS OF INTERRUPTION: Company agrees that the total intentional interruptions of controlled
demand will not exceed 80 hours per calendar year for Tier 2 customers, 150 hours per year for Tier 1 customers, and 300 hours
per year for Tier lEnergy-Controlled Service Rider customers.
8. CONTROL PERIOD NOTICE: Company will endeavor to give Customer one hour notice of commencement of control
period.
9. EXPECTED MAXIMUM DEMANDS: For the term of this agreement, Customer's expected maximum annual adjusted
demand is «emad» kW. The expected maximum annual demand less the predetermined demand level is the expected maximum
controlled demand. The Customer's expected maximum summer season adjusted demand is «emssd» kW.
10. PREDETERMINED DEMAND LEVEL (PDL): Customer may elect either the standard or optional arrangement as
specified below.
Standard: Customer agrees to limit adjusted demand to « dl» kW during control periods.
Optional: Customer agrees to reduce adjusted demand by «o dl» kW during control periods. Customer's PDL will be
the monthly adjusted demand less the agreed to load reduction.
Any customer with generating equipment which is operated in parallel with Company must comply with all
requirements associated with Parallel Operations specified in the General Rules and Regulations of Company.
The PDL may be revised within or after the trial period subject to approval by Company. If the revision of the PDL
occurs WITHIN THE TRIAL PERIOD, the Customer pays the demand charge differential for the corresponding months of
the contract in the trial period multiplied by the number of kilowatts (kW) the Customer increases the PDL. Charges for the
failure to control to their PDL are forgiven. The Customer will be credited any paid penalties against the recalculated amount.
If the revision of the PDL occurs AFTER THE TRIAL PERIOD, the same calculation is made for the most recent months up
to but not to exceed 18. In this case, however, the Customer is responsible for the greater of the following: (a) the amount
determined by multiplying the demand charge differential by the PDL increase, as described above, or (b) the total amount of
any penalties paid/owed for failure to control load to the previous PDL.
11. TRIAL PERIOD AND CANCELLATION CHARGE: Company agrees that the first twelve months of this agreement
will be a trial period. Customer must notify Company in writing to terminate this agreement during the trial period. If
Customer terminates this agreement during the trial period, Customer's Peak-Controlled Tiered Service or Peak-Controlled
Tiered Time of Day Service bills will be recalculated using the corresponding firm rate (General Service or General Time of
Day Service). Customer will be charged the difference between the recalculated amount and the amount charged under the
corresponding Peak-Controlled rate. Also, Customer will receive a refund for any additional charges which were assessed
during the trial period due to Customer failure to control load. A trial period for Peak-Controlled Tiered Service or Peak-
Controlled Tiered Time of Day Service will not be available to any Customer account that has previously received either
service, or the closed Peak-Controlled or Energy-Controlled Services.
Customer will pay a cancellation charge after the twelve month trial period if Customer terminates this agreement and
elects to receive service from NSP on anon-interruptible basis or this agreement is terminated as a result of any default of
Customer. Customers no longer receiving service from NSP upon termination of agreement will not be assessed the
cancellation charge. The cancellation charge will be the difference between the billing amounts described above, for the most
recent 18 months for Tier 2 or 36 months for Tier 1 of Peak-Controlled Tiered Service or Peak-Controlled Tiered Time of Day
Service. Customer will not receive a refund for any additional charges which were assessed during this 18 or 36 month period
due to Customer failure to control load.
Additionally, if at any time this agreement is terminated in any above described manner, Customer will be charged all
installation and removal costs for special equipment and facilities provided by Company for Peak-Controlled Tiered Service or
Peak-Controlled Tiered Time of Day Service.
12. FAILURE TO CONTROL: If in any month Customer fails to control load to predetermined demand level when requested
by Company, the additional charge specified in the Rules for Application of Peak-Controlled Tiered Services and Peak-
Controlled Services (Closed) shall be applied to the amount by which Customer's maximum adjusted demand during any
control period exceeds predetermined demand. If Customer incurs three failures to control load to predetermined demand level
