SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1. Voltage: Service will be supplied at one standard voltage.
2. Billing Derail: The billing demand shall be the kilowatts of maximum demand, determined to
the nearest kW.
3. Maximum Derand: The maximum demand in any month shall be the measured maximum average
kilowatt input, indicated or recorded by instruments to be supplied by the Company, during any 15-
minute metered interval in the month, but (except for new customers or existing customers electing
Contract Demand as defined in these Special Conditions) shall not be less than the diversified
resistance welder load computed in accordance with the section designated Welder Service in Rule
No. 2. Where the demand is intermittent or subject to violent fluctuations, a 5-minute interval may
be used.
4. %-Ray Installations: Where the Company installs the standard transformer capacity requested
by a customer to serve separately an X-ray installation, the minimum charge will be increased by $1.00
per kVA of transformer capacity requested.
S. Contract Demand: A contract demand will be established by the Company, based on applicant's
demand requirements for any customer with demand requirements greater than 75 kW who requests service
on this schedule and for any customer of record on this schedule who requests an increase in
transformer capacity in accordance with Rule No. 12 D. A contract demand is required of all customers
newly requesting service on this schedule for resistance welder loads or other load which does not
create measurable demand. A contract demand arrangement is available upon request for all customers
of record on this schedule. The contract demand will be used only for purposes of establishing the
minimum demand charge for facilities required to provide service under the rate and will not be
otherwise used for billing purposes. Contract demand is based upon the nominal kilovolt-ampere rating
of the Company's serving transformer(s) or the standard transformer size determined by the Company as
required to serve the customer's stated measurable kilowatt demand, whichever is less and is expressed
in kilowatts.
6. Plinio Dead Charge: Where a contract demand is established, the monthly minimum demand
charge shall be $1.00 per kilowatt of contract demand.
7. Excess Transformer Capacity: The transformer capacity in excess of a customer's contract
demand which is either required by the Company because of the nature of the customer's load or
requested by the customer. Excess transformer capacity shall be billed at SI.DO per kVA per month.
B. Voltage Dismaon1: The charges before adjustments will be reduced by 3% for service
delivered and metered at voltages of from 2 kV to 10 kV; by 4% for service delivered and metered at
voltages of from 11 kV to 50 kV; and by 5% for service delivered and metered at voltages over 50 kV;
except that when only one transformation from a transmission voltage level is involved, a customer
normally entitled to a 3% discount will be entitled to a 4% discount.

9. Power Factor Adjusbm t: When the billing demand has exceeded 200 kW for three consecutive
months, a kilovar-hour meter will be installed as soon as practical, and, thereafter, until the
billing demand has been less than 150 kW for twelve consecutive months, the charges will be adjusted
each month for power factor, as follows:
The charges will be decreased by 20 cents per kilowatt of measured maximum demand and will be
increased by 20 cents per kilovar of reactive demand. However, in no case shall the kilovars
used for the adjustment be less than one-fifth the number of kilowatts.
The kilovars of reactive demand shall be calculated by multiplying the kilowatts of measured
maximum demand by the ratio of the kilovar-hours to the kilowatthours. Demands in kilowatts and
kilovars shall be determined to the nearest unit. A ratchet device will be installed on the
kilovar-hour meter to prevent its reverse operation on leading power factors.
10. Temporary Discontinuance of Service: Where the use of energy is seasonal or intermittent,
no adjustments will be made for a temporary discontinuance of service. Any customer resuming service
within twelve months after such service was discontinued will be required to pay all charges which
would have been billed if service had not been discontinued.
11. Catalina Energy Cost Balance Adjustment: For service on Santa Catalina Island, the rates
above are subject to adjustment as provided in Part G of the Preliminary Statement, at a billing
factor of 2.5930 per kWh.

Re: CITY OF PALM SPRINGS ENERGY RECOVERY AND COGENERATION SYSTEM
Dear Sir:
The City of Palm Springs is in the process of executing a power
purchase agreement with Southern California Edison Company by which
the City, acting as a seller, is to obtain status as a Qualifying
Cogenerator or Small Power Production Facility as defined by Title 18,
Code of the Federal Regulations , Section 292.201 through Section
292.207.
The following information is submitted as evidence of the subject' s
facility and efficiency requirements as designed and intended for
parallel energy generation into the Southern California Edison system
by utilizing digester sludge gas as a primary fuel :
1 . Address of Cogeneration Facility - City of Palm Springs
Wastewater Treatment Plant 4375 Mesquite Avenue, Palm Springs ,
California 92264
2. Description of Cogeneration System - The City of Palm Springs
Energy Recovery System consists of a reciprocating engine
induction generator set with heat recovery capabilities. The
reciprocating engine utilized in the system is a Caterpillar
Model G398, natural gas engine, which will use as primary fuel ,
the sludge gas produced at the Palm Springs Wastewater Treatment
Plant. The engine operates with a 10:1 compression ratio and is
naturally aspirated. The synchronous speed of the unit is 1200
rpm while the top speed is 1236 rpm, and at that speed the fuel
consumption is 7 ,597 btu per horsepower hour. The generator is a
KATO induction unit with an efficiency of 90% at 1200 rpin. The
heat recovery system is manufactured by Vaporphase and is a model
VPV capable of recovering 33% of the waste heat produced by the
engine.
3. Primary Fuel - Sludge Digester gas , 60% to 68% methane. It is
not anticipated that supplemental firing with natural gas will be
required during normal operating conditions.
4 . Rated Capa( IX - I50 4w

ENERGY RECOVERY & COGENERATION SYSTEM
5 . Owner - 100% owned by the City of Palm Springs .
6. Efficiency - The system will operate as a topping cycle cogeneration
plant. The estimated PURPA efficiency as defined by paragraph 18 CFR,
Section 292.205 is based on an anticipated operating schedule of 44.9%
efficiency. The thermal output is estimated to be 49.3% of the total
energy output. Thermal recovery by the Vaporphase will be utilized for
the hot water heating of the on-site sludge digestion tanks.
Your review and consideration of this request is appreciated. Please contact
this office if any further data should be required.
Sincerely yours ,
