SECTION 5: HISTORICAL ELECTRICITY USE AND RATE SCHEDULES 9 <br />This is the preferred rate schedule to use with this project, but if it is not available, rate schedule RES -BCT will <br />work. <br />5.4 RENEWABLE ENERGY SELF -GENERATION -BILL CREDIT TRANSFER (RES - <br />BCT) <br />A more conventional approach to using excess renewable generation at one site to offset electricity use at <br />another site is RES -BCT. This approach requires that the sites have the same owner, but they do not need to be <br />contiguous. One Generating Account can deliver power to up to 50 Benefitting Accounts. This could assure that <br />excess power at the South Station and the two hydro turbines could always be used to offset energy use at <br />various pump loads. <br />The disadvantage to RES -BCT is that the full retail value of the electricity does not get transferred to the other <br />meter. The Generation portion of the rate transfers, but the Delivery Service (Transmission and Distribution) <br />does not transfer. Under the Schedule TOU-GS-1-13 likely to be used, this excludes a portion of the monetary <br />savings. <br />These projects are evaluated in this report using the RES -BCT rate, which is the likely default. They will also be <br />evaluated using the NEMA rate, which is more beneficial to the City, but not guaranteed to be accepted, should <br />it be pursued with SCE. <br />Newcomb I Anderson I McCormick 19H-17 CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />
