Revenue Allocation and Rate Design 2nd Workshop for Expected Parties to PG&E’s 2014 GRC Phase 2 Filing DRAFT July 18th , 2012
Marginal Cost Model Progress Update • MCAC Model • Work in progress to add: • Entry form for replacement costs • RECC/Rental Method calculation option for capital components • Additional model cleanup is ongoing • MDCC Model • Excel files consolidated • Additional model formatting and cleanup is ongoing • Financial Loader Model • Model consolidated and formatted similar to MCAC • Additional model cleanup is ongoing • RCS Model • Project scoping underway to update for SmartMeter infrastructure
Customer Generation: Impact on Diversity Is a study warranted to establish the extent to which customer generation creates diversity on PG&E’s distribution system? • Discussion.
Preview of Model Roadmap RA/RD MODEL OUTPUTS INPUTS • Distribution Marginal Cost • Generation Marginal Cost • RA/RD Summaries • Full EPMC (100%) • Proposed (XX% Movement to EPMC) Revenue Allocation • PCAFs • FLTs • TOU Shares • Recorded kWh Data • Billing Determinants • Present Rates • Revenue at Present • Rates Present v. Proposed Rate Table Rate Design Bill Comparisons
Revenue Allocation Model Progress Update • Additional allocator based on CARE surcharge eligible sales built into pre-defined revenue allocators • Three additional fields for “user-defined” revenue components built into model • Ability to select from multiple allocator options for redistribution of capped revenue shortfalls/overages • Faster macros for balancing the model and for capping the percent change in revenue allocation • Calculation of floor value in capping mechanism corrected • Additional capping options under review
Rate Design Progress Update • Consistent data presentation (e.g., rate schedules always listed as column headers) • Calculations organized sequentially • Consistent color coding • Removal of redundant data within tabs • Clearly labeled units • Fewer tabs (e.g., revenue checks built into calculation tabs)
• Subtract non-allocated & customer charge revenue • Allocate by season & rate component Rate Design Progress Update (Cont.) Revenue Allocation for Rate Design Divide revenue by billing determinants according to design parameters Rate Calculations Ensure rates recover revenue allocated to rate schedule Revenue Check
