NOTE 4: (Continued)
The Authority estimates that the total financing requirements for its interest in the Hoover Uprating Project will approximate $ 34 million, substantially all of which will be expended for payments for capacity and associated firm energy and the acquisition of entitlements to capacity.
Mead-Phoenix Pro'ect Prior to fiscal year 1989, the Authority borrowed $ 14,148,000 to finance the feasibility study and development costs of the Mead Phoenix Project. During fiscal year 1989, the Authority received from the participants $ 14,048,000 retiring all the notes but $ 100,000. These receipts are shown as Advances from Participants. Authority management anticipates repaying these advances during fiscal 1991 or later.
Refundin Bonds During fiscal year 1989, the proceeds from the sale of $ 295,005,000 of Palo Verde Power Project Refunding Bonds were used to advance refund $ 187,635,000 of previously issued bonds and the proceeds from the sale of $ 239,320,000 of Southern Transmission Project Revenue Bonds were issued to refund $ 147,995,000 of previously issued bonds. In connection therewith, the net proceeds of the refunding bonds have been invested in securities of the United States Government, the principal and interest from which will be sufficient to fund the remaining principal, interest and call premium payments on the refunded bonds until the stated first call dates of the respective issues. Accordingly, all amounts related to the refunded bonds have been removed from the balance sheets and the cost of refunding the debt is included in unamortized debt expenses. At June 30, 1990 the aggregate amount of debt considered to be extinguished was $ 2,210,680,000.
NOTE 5 - POWER SALES AND TRANSMISSION SERVICE CONTRACTS:
The Authority has sold its entitlement to the output of the Palo Verde Project pursuant to power sales contracts with ten participants (see Note 1).

The contracts expire in 2018 and as long as the Hydroelectric Power Project Revenue Bonds are outstanding, cannot be terminated or amended in any manner which will impair or adversely affect the rights of the bondholders.
NOTE 6 - COSTS RECOVERABLE FROM FUTURE BILLINGS TO PARTICIPANTS:
Billings to participants are designed to recover "costs" as defined by the power sales and transmission service agreements. The billings are structured to systematically provide for debt service requirements, operating funds and reserves in accordance with these agreements.
Those expenses, according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which are not included as "costs" are deferred to such periods as they are intended to be recovered through billings for the repayment of principal on related debt.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PUBLIC POWER AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIALSTATEMENTS NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE:
Southern California Public Power Authority (Authority), a public entity organized under the laws of the State of California, was formed by a Joint Powers Agreement dated as of November 1, 1980 pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of the State of California.
The Authority's participant membership consists of ten Southern California cities and one public district of the State of California. The Authority was formed for the purpose of planning, financing, developing, acquiring, constructing, operating and maintaining projects for the generation and transmission of electric energy for sale to its participants. The Joint Powers Agreement has a term of fifty years.
The members have the following participation percentages in the Authority's interest in the four projects:
Southern Palo Transmission Hoover Mead-p~sartici ants Verde System ~Uratin Phoenix City of Los Angeles 67.0% 59.5% 61.2%
City of Anaheim 17.6 42.6% 15.0 City of Riverside 5.4 10.2 31.9 6.0 Imperial Irrigation District 6.5 City of Vernon 4.9 3.0 City of Azusa 1,0 4.2 .6 City of Banning 1.0 2.1 .6 City of Colton 1.0 3.2 .6 City of Burbank 4.4 4.5 16.0 5.0 City of Glendale 4.4 2.3 5,0 City of Pasadena 4.4 5.9 3.0 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
The members do not currently participate in the Multiple Project Fund.
Palo Verde Pro'ect L
The Authority, pursuant to an assignment agreement dated as of August 14, 1981 with the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, purchased a 5.91% interest L in the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS), a 3,810 megawatt nuclear-fueled lO t
. I I
I I
NOTE 1: (Continued) generating station near Phoenix, Arizona, and a 6.55% share of the right to use certain portions of the Arizona Nuclear Power Project Valley Transmission System (collectively, the Palo Verde Project) ~
As of July 1, 1981, ten participants had entered into power sales contracts with the Authority to purchase the Authority's share of PVNGS capacity and energy. Units 1, 2 and 3 of the Palo Verde Project began commercial operation in January and September 1986, and January 1988, respectively. During fiscal year 1989, all three units were "on-line" the majority of the year. During fiscal year 1990, Unit 1 was down the entire year and Units 2 and 3 were down approximately one-half the year for repairs.
Southern Transmission S stem Pro'ect The Authority, pursuant to an agreement dated as of May 1, 1983 with the Intermountain Power Agency (IPA), has made payments-in-aid of construction to IPA to defray all the costs of acquisition and construction of the Southern Transmission System Project (STS),
which provides for the transmission of energy from the Intermountain Power Project (IPP) in Utah to Southern California. The Authority entered into an agreement also dated as of May 1, 1983 with six of its participants pursuant to which each member assigned its entitlement to capacity of STS to the Authority in return for the Authority's agreement to make payments-in-aid of construction to IPA. STS commenced commercial operations in July 1986. The Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles, a member of the Authority, has served as project manager and operating agent of IPP.
Hoover U ratin Pro'ect The Authority and six participants entered into an agreement dated as of March 1, 1986, pursuant to which each participant assigned its entitlement to capacity and associated firm energy to the Authority in return for the Authority's agreement to make advance payments to the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) on behalf of such participants.
Construction is scheduled for completion by September 1992. The Authority will have an 18.68% interest in the contingent capacity of the Hoover Uprating Project. Several "uprated" generators of the Hoover Uprating Project have commenced commercial operations during June 1987.
Mead-Phoenix Pro'ect The Authority has studied the feasibility of constructing the proposed Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project (Mead-Phoenix Project), a transmission line from Arizona to Nevada. The Authority's present interest in the Mead-Phoenix Project is 93,75%. The feasibility study is complete and the project is in contract negotiations with its participants.

NOTE 1: (Continued)
Multi le Pro'ect Fund During fiscal year 1990, the Authority issued Multiple Project Revenue Bonds for net proceeds of approximately $ 600 million to provide funds to finance costs of construction and acquisition of ownership interests or capacity rights in one or more projects for the generation or transmission of electric energy which are expected to be undertaken within the next five years. Currently, the Authority has not authorized specific projects to be financed with the proceeds of the Bonds.
NOTE 2 -
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The financial statements of the Authority are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and substantially in conformity with accounting principles prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission.
The Authority is not subject to regulations of such commissions.
~Ut lilt Plant All expenditures, including general administrative and other overhead expenses, payments-in-lO aid of construction, interest net of related investment income, deferred cost amortization and the fair value of test power generated and delivered to the participants are capitalized as utility plant construction work in progress until a facility begins commercial operation.
The Authority's share of costs associated with PVNGS is included as utility plant.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated service life of thirty-five years. Nuclear fuel is amortized and charged to expense on the basis of actual thermal energy produced relative to total thermal energy expected to be produced over the life of the fuel. Under the provisions of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the Authority is charged one mill per kilowatt-hour on its share of electricity produced by PVNGS. The Authority records this charge as a current year expense.
The costs associated with STS are included as utility plant. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated service lives, principally thirty-five years.
Advances for Ca acit and Ener t Advance payments to USBR for the uprating of the 17 generators at the Hoover Power Plant are included in advances for capacity and energy. These advances are being reduced by USBR billings to participants for energy and capacity.

4 NOTE 2; (Continued)
Nuclear Decommissionin Decommissioning of PVNGS is projected to start sometime after 2027. The Authority is providing for its share of the estimated future decommissioning costs over the life of the nuclear power plant through annual charges to expense, A Nuclear Decommissioning Fund has been established. The deposits to the fund plus the interest earnings on the fund balances are expected to be sufficient to pay the Authority's share of the decommissioning costs.
Deferred Costs Deferred costs are reported net of accumulated amortization. Unamortized debt issue costs, including the cost of refunding, are amortized over the terms of the respective issues. Other deferred costs are amortized generally over five years.
Investments Investments include United States Government and governmental agency securities and repurchase agreements which are collateralized by such securities. These investments are stated at amortized cost, which in general is not in excess of market. As discussed in Note 3, all of the investments are restricted as to their use.
Cash and Cash E uivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all investments with maturities less than ninety days.
Revenues Revenues consist of billings to participants for the sales of electric energy and of transmission service in accordance with the participation agreements. Generally, revenues are fixed at a level to recover all operating and debt service costs over the commercial life of the plant (see Note 6).
Debt E enses Debt expenses include interest on debt, and the amortization of bond discounts, debt issue and refunding costs.
Arbitra e Rebate A rebate payable to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) results from the investment of the proceeds from the Multiple Project Revenue Bond Offering in a taxable financial instrument that yields a higher rate of interest income than the cost of the associated funds. The excess of interest income over costs is payable to the IRS within the next five years.

Official Statement relating to
$ 295,005,000 Southern California Public Power Authority Power Project Revenue Bonds, 1989 Refunding Series A INTRODUCTION This ORcial Statement (which includes the cover page, the table of contents and the Appendices attached hereto) is furnished by Southern California Public Power Authority (the "Authority"), a joint powers agency and a public entity organized under the laws of the State of California, to provide information concerning the Project described herein, and the $ 295,005,000 aggregate principal amount of Power Project Revenue Bonds, 1989 Refunding Series A (the "1989 Bonds" ) to be issued by the Authority.
The 1989 Bonds are being issued pursuant to the provisions relating to the joint exercise of powers found in Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code of California, as amended (the "Act"), and the Authority's Indenture of Trust (the "Original Indenture" ), dated as of July 1, 1981, by and between the Authority and First Interstate Bank of California, as trustee (the "Trustee" ), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture of Trust, dated as of August 1, 1982, by and between the Authority and the Trustee, and as supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture of Trust, dated as of January 1, 1989, by and between the Authority and the Trustee. The Original Indenture and indentures supplemental thereto and amendatory thereof, including the First Supplemental Indenture of Trust and the Tenth Supplemental Indenture of Trust, are herein collectively referred to as the "Bond Indenture". The 1989 Bonds and other bonds heretofore or hereafter issued by the Authority pursuant to the Act and the Bond Indenture, to the extent Outstanding (as defined in the Bond Indenture) are herein referred to as the "Bonds".
The Authority currently has Outstanding $ 1,097,030,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds, including the Bonds being refunded by the 1989 Bonds (together, the "Prior Series Bonds" ), issued to finance costs of acquisition and construction of the Authority Interest (hereinafter defined). Upon issuance of the 1989 Bonds, $ 1,204,400,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds will be Outstanding.
The 1989 Bonds are being issued by the Authority to provide moneys to advance refund certain of the Prior Series Bonds all of which were issued to finance costs of acquisition and construction of the Authority Interest and to pay costs of issuance related thereto. See "The Authority's Refunding Plan".
The Authority The Authority, the membership of which is comprised of ten cities and one irrigation district of the State of California, was formed pursuant to the Act, and the Joint Powers Agreement, dated as of November 1, 1980 (said Joint Powers Agreement as amended to the date hereof being hereinafter referred to as the "Joint Powers Agreement" ). See "Southern California Public Power Authority Formation and Membership". Certain duties and responsibilities of the Authority arising in connection with the Project are performed by the Department of Water and Power of The City of Los Angeles (the "Agent" or "Department" ) pursuant to the Agency Agreement, dated as of July 1, 1981 (the "Agency Agreement" ) See "Southern California Public Power Authority Organization 'nd
~
Management".
The Project and the ANPP Transmission System The Prior Series Bonds were issued by the Authority for the purpose of financing the purchase from Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District ("Salt River Project" ), pursuant to the Salt River Project-Authority Palo Verde Nuclear'Generating Station Assignment Agreement, dated as of August 14, 1981, as amended (the "Assignment Agreement" ), and financing costs of acquisition, construction and placing into operation, of (a) (i) a 5.91% undivided ownership interest in the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2 and 3 ("PVNGS"), certain associated facilities and contractual rights relating thereto, and'(ii) a 5.56% undivided ownership interest in the ANPP High Voltage Switchyard and contractual rights relating thereto; and (b) a 6.55% share of the right to use the Arizona Nuclear Power Project Valley Transmission System. PVNGS, including certain associated facilities and contractual rights and the ANPP High Voltage Switchyard and associated contractual rights are collectively referred to herein as the "Project". Additionally, the Arizona Nuclear Power Project Valley Transmission System is referred to herein as the "ANPP Transmission System". The Authority's ownership interest in and rights to use the Project and the ANPP Transmission System are collectively referred to herein as the "Authority Interest". The transfer of the Authority Interest from Salt River Project to the Authority took place on September 10, 1982 at a cost to the Authority of $ 265,005,281. The Project and the ANPP Transmission System are presently owned as tenants in common by Salt River Project, Arizona Public Service Company ("APS"), Public Service Company of New Mexico ("PNM") and El Paso Electric Company ("El Paso" ) pursuant to the Arizona Nuclear Power Project Participation Agreement, dated August 23, 1973, as amended'the "Participation Agreement" ). The Authority, Southern California Edison Company ("Edison" ) and the Department are also owners as tenants in common of the Project pursuant to the Participation Agreement, but they have no ownership interest in the ANPP Transmission System. In connection with financing of the Project, APS, PNM and El Paso have transferred portions of their ownership interests in PVNGS and related facilities in various sale and leaseback transactions. See "Availability of Operating Funds and Available Information Concerning Other Owners of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station". Pursuant to the Participa'tion Agreement, APS has constructed and operates and maintains the Project on its behalf and on behalf of the other owners, with the exception of the switchyard portions of the Project which were constructed and are being managed by Salt River project.
Construction of the Project began on June 10, 1976. The construction of large electric generating facilities such as the Project includes two basic phases. The first phase, identified and repo'rted by APS as '"construction," includes erection of the various buildings and installation of equipment and systems.
The second phase, identified and reported by APS as "startup," includes certain operational activities such as cleaning systems, starting and testing equipment and systems and measuring performance. The start-up phase is completed upon the loading of nuclear fuel into the reactor pressure vessel. Following fuel loading, the operation of each unit is tested, in a power ascension program, at various power levels up to 100 percent power. The power ascension program is completed upon declaration that the unit has achieved firm power operation at full power.
Units 1, 2 and 3 were declared to have achieved firm power operation on January 27, 1986, September 18, 1986 and January 19, 1988, respectively.
Based on among other things, cost estimates provided by APS, and considering that the Project and ANPP Transmission System are fully operational and certain assumptions provided by the Department, as the Authority's agent, the estimated construction costs of the Authority Interest is
$ 465,170,000. The Authority has completed financing of the estimated costs of acquisition and construction of the Authority Interest.
Power Sales and Transmission The Authority has sold the entire capability of the Authority Interest in the Project pursuant to power sales contracts (the "Power Sales Contracts" ) with nine California municipalities and a California irrigation district (collectively, the "Project Participants" ), each of which is a member of 2
the Authority and is represented on the Authority's Board of Directors. For selected information with respect to the Project Participants, see "The Project Participants'nd Appendix B hereto.
The existing power supplies,.for the Project Participants consist of owned generation and purchases from other utilities. Although the Authority Interest provides a source of firm capacity and energy to assist in meeting load growth, it is more important to the Project Participants as a source of energy which can be produced from fuel sources other than oil and natural'gas.
Under the Power Sales Contracts, the Project Participants are entitled to Project generation capabilities based on'their respective Project Entitlement Shares, and the Project Participants are obligated to make payments therefor on a "take or pay" basis, that is, whether or not the Authority Interest or any part thereof is operating or is operable (or has been completed), or its output is suspended, interfered with, reduced or curtailed or terminated in whole or in part. 'The payment obligations under the Power Sales Contracts constitute operating expenses of the respective Project Participants, payable solely from their electric system revenues. See "Security and Sources of Payment for the Bonds Power Sales Contracts" and "Summary of, Certain Provisions of the Power Sales Contracts" in Appendix C hereto.
Pursuant to the Transmission Agreement, dated as of August 14, 1981, as amended, between the Authority and Salt River Pr'oject (the "Transmission Agreement" ), the Authority has purchased the right to use 6.55% of the capability of the ANPP Transmission System which will be utilized by Salt River Project for delivery of power and energy associated with the Authority Interest, excluding the Project Entitlement of the Imperial Irrigation District (the "District"). The output of the Authority Interest> with the exception of the District's Project Entitlement, is received by Salt River Project at the transmission side of the high voltage bus of the ANPP High Voltage Switchyard. Salt River Project makes available to the Authority an equivalent amount of power and energy at a combination of the Navajo Switchyard, the Eldorado Substation or the Mead Substation (the "Project Interconnection Point" ). The Navajo Switchyard is located at the Navajo Generating Station in northern Arizona. The Eldorado and Mead substations are located at the southern tip of Nevada, south of Lake Mead, near the Mohave Generating Station. The District has acquired an ownership interest in the Palo Verde to Imperial Valley portion of the APS/San,Diego Gas R Electric Company 525 kV Interconnection Project (the "Southwest Powerlink") as a permanent means of transmitting its Project Entitlement.
This project was completed in June 1984. The District completed the new 230 kV interconnection between the Southwest Powerlink and the District system in December 1984.
Cost and Entitlement Shares The following table sets forth the Cost and Entitlement Shares of each of the Project Participants with respect to the Authority Interest.

Such proceeds and moneys will be used to purchase certain non-callable State and Local Government Series direct obligations of the United States of America issued by the Bureau of Public Debt and certain other direct obligations of the United States of America purchased on the open market (collectively, the "Governme'nt Obligations" ). The Government Obligations will bear interest at such rates and will,be scheduled to mature at such times and in such amounts so that, when, paid in accordance with their respective terms, sufBcient moneys 4
will be available to pay the Redemption Price of the Refunded Bonds on their respective redemption dates set forth above and interest to become due on or prior to the respective dates of redemption of the Refunded Bonds. The Escrow Fund shall be held by the Trustee in irrevocable trust and used solely for the payment of the Redemption Price of and interest on the Refunded Bonds, subject only to the payment to the Authority in accordance with the Bond Indenture of any cash not required for such purpose.
The refunding of the Refunded Bonds will discharge the pledge and assignment of any Revenues and other moneys and securities securing the Refunded Bonds under the Bond Indenture, except for the rights of the holders of the Refunded Bonds to payments from the Escrow Fund.
The mathematical accuracy of certain computations relating to the adequacy of the Government Obligations and the interest thereon to pay the Redemption Price and interest due on the Refunded Bonds on and prior to the redemption dates thereof will be verified at the time of delivery of the 1989 Bonds by Ernst h Whinney, independent certified public accountants. See "Verification of Mathemati-cal Computations".

Notice of Redemption The Bond Indenture requires the, Trustee to give notice of any redemption of the 1989 Bonds by publication and, in the case of registered 1989 Bonds, by mail. Failure to mail notice, or any defect in such mailed notice, however, will not affect the validity of the proceedings for redemption of any 1989 Bond. See "Summary of Certain Provisions of the Bond Indenture Notice of Redemption" in Appendix C hereto.
Interchangeability The 1989 Bonds may be exchanged and transferred as provided in the Bond Indenture. See "Summary of Certain Provisions of the Bond Indenture 'Interchangeability" in Appendix C hereto.
AMBAC Insurance AMBAC Indemnity Corporation ("AMBAC Indemnity"-), has made a commitment to issue a municipal bond insurance policy (the "Municipal Bond Insurance Policy" ) relating to the 1989 Bonds maturing on July 1 in each of the years 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 (the "Insured Bonds" ), effective as of the date of issuance of the 1989 Bonds. A form of the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy is attached hereto as Appendix G. The information relating to AMBACIndemnity contained below has been furnished by AMBACIndemnity.
No representation is made herein as to the accuracy or adequacy of such information or as to the absence of material adverse changes in such information subsequent to the date hereof.,
Under the terms of the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy, AMBAC Indemnity will pay to the United States Trust Company of New York, in New York, New York or any successor thereto (the "Insurance Trustee" ) that portion of the principal of and interest on the Bonds which shall become Due for Payment but shall be unpaid by reason of Nonpayment by the Issuer (as such terms are defined in the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy). AMBAC Indemnity will make such payments to the Insurance Trustee on the later of the date on which such principal and interest becomes Due for Payment or the fifth (5th) business day next following the date on which AMBAC Indemnity shall have received notice of Nonpayment from the Trustee. The insurance will extend for the term of the Bonds and, once issued, cannot be cancelled by AMBAC Indemnity.
The Municipal Bond Insurance Policy will insure payment only on stated maturity dates and sinking fund installment dates, in the case of principal, and on stated dates for payment, in the case of interest. It will not insure payment on acceleration, as a result of a call for redemption (other than sinking fund redemption) or's a result of any other advancement of maturity, nor will it insure the payment of any redemption, prepayment or acceleration premium or any risk other than Nonpayment.
In the event of any acceleration of the principal of the Bonds, the paymerits insured will be made at such times and in such amounts as would, have been made had there not been an acceleration.
The Municipal Bond Insurance Policy will not insure against nonpayment of principal or interest caused by the insolvency or negligence of any Trustee or Paying Agent, if any, or the Insurance Trustee. Ifthe Bonds become subject to mandatory redemption and insufficient funds are available'for redemption of all outstanding Bonds, AMBACIndemnity will remain obligated to pay principal of and interest on outstanding Bonds on the originally scheduled interest and principal payment dates including mandatory sinking fund redemption dates. In the event'he Trustee has notice that any payment of princip'al of or interest on a Bond which has become Due for Payment and which is made to a Bondholder by or on behalf of the Issuer has been deemed a preferential transfer and theretofore recovered from its registered owner pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, such registered owner will be
entitled to payment from AMBAC Indemnity to the extent of such recovery if sufficient funds are not otherwise available.
If it becomes necessary to call upon the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy, payment of principal requires surrender of Bonds to the Insurance Trustee together with an appropriate instrument of assignment so as to permit ownership of such Bonds to be registered in the name of AMBAC Indemnity. Payment of interest pursuant to the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy requires proof of Bondholder entitlement to interest payments and an appropriate assignment of the Bondholder's right to payment to AMBAC Indemnity.
Upon payment of the insurance benefits, AMBAC Indemnity will become the owner of the surrendered Insured Bonds and will be fully subrogated to the surrendering Bondholders'ights to payment.
AMBAC Indemnity has obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the insuring of an obligation by AMBAC Indemnity will not affect the treatment for federal income tax purposes of interest on such obligation and that insurance proceeds representing maturing interest paid by AMBAC Indemnity under policy provisions substantially identical to those contained in the municipal bond insurance policy shall be treated for federal income tax purposes in the same manner as if such payments were made by the issuer of the'onds.

The address of AMBAC Indemnity's administrative offices and its telephone number are One State Street Plaza, 17th Floor, New York, New York, 10004 and (212) 668-0340.
AMBAC Indemnity has entered into quota share reinsurance agreements under which a percent-age of the insurance underwritten pursuant to certain municipal bond insurance programs of AMBAC Indemnity has been and will be assumed by such reinsurers.
SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS Pledge Effected by the Bond Indenture The Bond Indenture provides that the Bonds shall be special, limited obligations of the Authority payable solely from and secured solely by (i) the proceeds of the sale of Bonds, (ii) all revenues, income, rents and receipts derived or to be derived by the Authority from or attributable to the ownership and operation of the Authority Interest, the proceeds of any insurance covering business interruption loss relating to the Authority Interest and interest on all moneys or securities (other than in the Construction Fund) held pursuant to the Bond Indenture and required to be paid into the Revenue Fund ("Revenues" ), and (iii) all funds established by the Bond Indenture (excluding the Decommissioning Account in the Reserve and Contingency Fund); subject only to the provisions of the Bond Indenture permitting the application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Bond Indenture (including application of the moneys on deposit in the Escrow Fund).
The Bonds are not obligations of the State of California, any public agency thereof (other than the Authority), any'ember of the Authority or any Project Participant and neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of any of the foregoing (including the Authority) is pledged for the payment of the Bonds. The Bonds shall never constitute debt or indebtedness of the Authority within the meaning of any provision or limitation of the Constitution or statutes of the State of California, and shall not constit'ute nor give rise to a pecuniary liability of the Authority or a charge against its general credit.
The Authority has no taxing power.
See "Summary of Certain Provisions of the Bond Indenture" in Appendix C hereto for further discussion of certain of the terms and provisions of the Bond Indenture. 1 Power Sales Contracts Each Power Sales Contract between the Authority and a Project Participant constitutes an obligation of the parties until the terms of all of the Power Sales Contracts expire on October 31, 2030 or such later date'as all Bonds'and the interest thereon shall have been paid in full or adequate provision for such payment shall have been made. As long as any Bonds issued under the Bond Indenture are Outstanding or until provision has been made for the payment of any Bonds Outstanding in accordance with the Bond Indenture, the Power Sales Contracts may not be terminated or amended in any manner which will reduce the amount of, or extend the time for, the payments which are pledged as security for the Bonds or which will impair or adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Bonds.
The payment obligations under the Power Sales Contracts constitute operating expenses of the respective Project Participants, payable solely from their electric system revenues.
Each Project Participant has covenanted in its Power Sales Contract to establish, maintain and collect rates and charges for the electric service it, furnishes sufficient to provide revenues which, together with its available electric system reserves,'re adequate to enable it to pay the Authority all amounts payable under its Power Sales Contract and'to pay all other amounts payable from, and all liens on and lawful charges against, its electric system revenues.
Payments are to be made by the Project Participants on a "take or pay" basis, that is, whether or not the Authority Interest or any part thereof, is operating or operable (or has been completed), or its output is suspended, interfered with, reduced or curtailed or terminated in whole or in part, and such payments shall not be subject to reduction whether by offset or otherwise and shall not be conditional upon the performance or nonperformance by any party of any agreement for any cause whatever.
lt A failure of a Project Participant to make payments when due under its Power Sales Contract may result in larger payments being made by the other Project Participants in subsequent periods for the purpose of enabling the Authority to pay operating expenses, debt service and other costs of the Authority Interest and to maintain required reserves therefor. To the extent the amount to be paid by the nonpaying Project Participant is not offset by revenues from sales of power derived by the Authority in respect of such non-paying Project Participant's Project Entitlement Shire, such non-payment-may result in deficits in funds under the Bond Indenture. In such event, the Authority would be required to amend, in accordance with the Power Sales Contracts and the Bond Indenture, the Annual'Budget to provide increases in subsequent billings to all Project Participants, including the non-paying Project Participant, equal to the amount of such deficiency. Such increased billings are not conditioned upon any transfer of the nori-paying Project Participant's Project Entitlement Share to the other Project Participants. Amounts thereafter collected from such non-paying Project Participant shall be credited against the next billing of such other Project Participants as shall be appropriate. In the event, however, of a termination of the Project and a resultant default by the Authority under the Indenture, each Project Participant would, under its Power Sales Contract, be severally obligated 'ond to pay only its respective Project Entitlement Share of the debt service on the Bonds (including fees and expenses of the Trustee and Paying Agents) and other fixed costs.
The Power Sales Contracts provide that the obligations of the Project Participants under the respective Power Sales Contracts are several and not joint. During each Power Supply Year, each Project Participant is obligated to pay its share of Monthly Power Costs, which consist of all of the Authority's costs resulting from the ownership, operation and maintenance of, and renewals and replacements to, the Authority Interest, to the extent not paid from the proceeds of Bonds or from Notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued in anticipation of the issuance of Bonds. Such Monthly Power Costs, which consist of a minimum cost component and a variable cost component, are to be billed monthly.
The minimum cost component will be billed each month for the then current month based on the estimates contained in the Annual Budget prep'ared by the Authority prior to the beginning of each Power Supply Year, as such Annual Budget may be amended during such year. For each month, the minimum cost component includes:
(1) The amounts which the Bond Indenture requires the Authority to pay or deposit during such month into funds or accounts for: debt service on the Bonds or reserve requirements for the Bonds; and the payment of interest on Notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued in anticipation of the issuance of Bonds; and (2) One-twelfth of: the amount which the Authority is required under the Bond Indenture to pay or deposit during the then current Power Supply Year into any other fund or account established by the Bond Indenture, including any amount needed to eliminate a deficiency in any such other fund whether or not resulting from a default in payments by any P'roject Participant of amounts due under any Power Sales Contract; the costs of producing and delivering capacity and energy from the Authority Interest during the then current Power Supply Year, including ordinary operation and maintenance costs, costs of w'ater, overhead and certain fixed costs of fuel for the Authority Interest; and the amount necessary during the then current Power Supply Year to pay or provide reserves for all taxes which the Authority is required to pay with respect to the Authority Interest.
0 The variable cost component will be billed each month for the immediately preceding month. The variable cost component of Monthly Power Costs consists of: (i) all costs of fuel not included in the minimum cost component and (ii) the Authority's cost of transmission under the Transmission, Agreement.
The Bond Indenture requires the Authority, quarterly, to review its estimates set forth in the then current Annual Budget and in the event such estimates do not substantially correspond with actual Revenues, Authority Operating Expenses or other requirements, to adopt an amended Annual Budget for the remainder of the Power Supply Year. The Authority is also required to adopt such an amended Annual Budget ifthere are at any time during the year extraordinary receipts or payments of unusual costs.
The amount of Monthly Power Costs to be paid by each Project Participant for any month shall be the sum of (i) its Project Entitlement Share times the'minimum cost component for such month and (ii) the perceritage of the energy delivered from the Authority Interest to it during such month times the variable cost component.
Within 120 days after the end of each Power Supply Year, the Authority will'submit to each Project Participant a statement of the actual amounts payable under the Power Sales Contracts for such year and any adjustments to such amounts for any prior year, based on the annu'al audit required by the Power Sales Contracts. If for any Power Supply Year the actual amounts payable under the Power Sales Contract exceed the amount which the Project Participants liave been billed, the Project Participants shall promptly pay the amount of such excess to the Authority; if such amounts are less than the amounts billed, the Authority will credit the excess against the Project Participants'ext monthly payment.
In the event of a default or inability to perform by a Project Participant under its Power Sales Contract, the Authority shall proceed to enforce, the Project Participant's covenants or obligations thereunder, or seek damages for the breach thereof, by action at law or equity. The Power Sales 10
Contracts also provide that if a payment due under the Power Sales Contract remains unpaid when due, the Authority shall, upon 120 days'ritten notice to the Project Participant, discontinue the delivery of capacity and energy to, and the use of the Authority Interest facilities by, such Project Participant while the default continues. Except as a result of a transfer of the defaulting Project Participant's rights to delivery of, capacity and energy and the use of the Authority Interest facilities, the discontinuance of delivery of capacity and energy to and the use of the Authority Interest facilities by a defaulting Project Participant by the Authority will not reduce the obligation of such project Participant to make payments under its Power Sales Contract. See "Summary of Certain Provisions of the Power Sales Contracts" in Appendix C hereto for a discussion of certain additional provisions of the Power Sales Contracts.
Authority Rate Covenant Pursuant to the Bond Indenture, the Authority has covenanted to at all times establish and collect rates and charges with respect to the Authority Interest to provide Revenues at least sufBcient, together with other available funds, for the payment each Fiscal Year of the sum of: (i) Authority Operating Expenses, (ii) Aggregate Debt Service, (iii) all other required deposits to any funds under the Bond Indenture and (iv) all other charges or liens payable out of Revenues.
Budgeting The Power Sales Contracts require the Authority to adopt an Annual Budget not less than 30 days prior to the beginning of each Power Supply Year. Each such Annual Budget will set forth a detailed estimate of the Monthly Power Costs and all Revenues, income or other funds to be applied to such costs, for and applicable to such Power Supply Year. See "Security and Sources of Payment for the Bonds Power Sales Contracts",. The Bond Indenture requires the Authority, following the end of each quarter of each Power Supply Year, to review its estimates set forth in the Annual Budget for such Power Supply Year and in the everest such estimates do not substantially correspond with actual Revenues, Authority Operating Expenses or other requirements, adopt an amended Annual Budget.
The Authority shall also adopt an amended Annual Budget, in accordance with the Power Sales Contracts, ifthere are at any time during the year extraordinary receipts or payment of unusual costs.
The Authority may also at any time, in accordance with the provisions of the Power Sales Contracts, adopt an amended Annual Budget for the remainder of the then current Power Supply Year.
Flow of Funds The'Bond Indenture establishes the following funds and accounts (each of which is held by the Tr'ustee): Construction Fund, Revenue Fund, Operating Fund, Debt Service Fund (including the Debt Service Account and Debt Service Reserve Account), Reserve and Contingency Fund (including the Renewal and Replacement Account, Decommissioning Account and Reserve Account), General Reserve Fund, 1985 Refunding Series A Bonds Escrow Fund, 1985 Refunding Series B 'Bonds Escrow Fund, 1986 Refunding Series A" Bonds'Escrow Fund, 1986 Refunding Series B Bonds Escrow Fund, 1987 Refunding Series A Bonds Escrow Fund and the Escrow Fund.
Pursuant to the Bond Indenture, all Revenues received are to be deposited promptly in the Revenue Fund. Amounts in the Revenue Fund are to be paid monthly to the following funds in the following order of priority:
(1) To the Operating Fund, a sum which, together with any amount in the Operating Fund not set aside as reserves, equals the total moneys appropriated for Authority Operating Expenses in the Annual Budget for the then current month.
(2) To the Debt Service Account and the Debt Service Reserve Account in the Debt Service Fund, the respective amounts required so that-the balances in such accounts (excluding, in the case of the Debt Service Account, the amount set aside therein from the proceeds of Bonds or otherwise for payment of interest on Bonds in excess of the amount to be applied to pay interest accrued and unpaid and to accrue on Bonds to the last day of the then. current calendar month) equal the Accrued Aggregate Debt Service and the Debt Service Reserve Requirement, respec-
tively, as of the end of the then current month. The Trustee will apply amounts in the Debt Service Account to the payment of principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds.
(3) To the Bond Anticipation Note Fund, the amount, ifany, required so that the balance in said Fund in excess of the amount thereof shall equal all interest accrued and unpaid and to accrue on outstanding Bond Anticipation Notes to the end of the then current calendar month. The Trustee will apply amounts in the Bond Anticipation Note Fund to the payment of interest on Bond Anticipation Notes in accordance with the provisions of the resolution, agreement or contract relating to the issuance of such Bond Anticipation Notes. I (4) To the Reserve and Contingency Fund, for credit to the Renewal and Replacement Account, the Decommissioning Account and the Reserve Account, the respective amounts provided for such purposes for the then current month in the current Annual Budget.
(5) To the General Reserve Fund, the balance if any, in the Revenue Fund.
For a more detailed discussion of the application of moneys deposited in the various funds and accounts, see "Summary of Certain Provisions of the Bond Indenture Application of Revenues" in Appendix C hereto.
Debt Service Reserve Account Moneys already on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account will be sufficient to satisfy the Debt Service Reserve Requirement at the time of issuance of the 1989 Bonds. For the definition of Debt Service Reserve Requirement, see "Summary of Certain Provisions of the Bond Indenture Debt Service Reserve Requirement and Certain Other Definitions Pertaining to the Issuance of Bonds" in Appendix C hereto. Should the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account fall below the Debt Service Reserve Requirement, such deficit is to be cur'ed by application of funds from amounts in the General Reserve Fund, the Reserve Account in the Reserve and Contingency Fund, the Renewal and Replacement Account in the Reserve and Contingency Fund, and the Bond Anticipation Note Fund, and from the first available Revenues (after payments to the Operating Fund and Debt Service Account required By the Bond Indenture), in that order.'
Additional and Refunding Bonds The Authority may issue additional Bonds for the purpose of financing the costs of acquisition and construction of the Authority Interest on the terms and conditions specified in the Bond Indenture.
Any additional Bonds, including the Lender Bonds (as defined in the Bond Indenture), will rank equally as to security and payment with the Outstanding Bonds and the 1989 Bonds except that certain Lender Bonds will not have any interest in, lien on or pledge of moneys on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account. The Bond Indenture also provides for the issuance of refunding Bonds to refund Outstanding Bonds, in certain circumstances. The Project Participants have authorized the issuance of refunding Bonds by the Authority at such times as the Board of Dir'ectors determines. See'"Summary of Certain Provisions of the Bond Indenture Certain Requirements of and Conditions to Issuance of Bonds", "Summary of Certain Provisions of the Bond Indenture Additional Bonds" and "Summary of Certain Provisions of the Bond Indenture Refunding Bonds" in Appendix C hereto.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PUBLIC POWER AUTHORITY Formation and Membership The Authority, a joint powers agency and a public entity organized under the laws of the State of California, was created pursuant to the Act and the Joint Powers Agreement, for the purpose of the planning, financing, development, acquisition, construction, operation and maintenance of projects for the generation or transmission of electric energy. The Joint Powers Agreement has a term expiring in 2030.
Organization and Management m
The Authority is governed by a Board of Directors which consists of one representative for each of the members. The current representatives are listed on the inside cover of this OScial Statement. The management of the Authority is under the direction of its Executive Director, Arthur T. Devine, who serves at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. Prior to his appointment as Executive Director, Mr.
Devine served the Department for over 25 years as an electrical engineer and, more recently, as an Assistant City Attorney.
The other ofBcers of the Authority also serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The President of the Authority is Gale A. Drews, who has been the Electrical Utility Director for the City of Colton since 1978. W. E. Cameron, the Vice President of the Authority, has been the Director of Public Services for the City of Glendale since 1984. Eldon A. Cotton, the Secretary of the Authority, has been employed by the Department since 1965 and has served as the Assistant General Manager Power of the Department since November 28, 1988. Horace W. Rupp, 7r., the Assistant Secretary of the Authority, has been employed by the Department as an engineer since 1968. Mr. Rupp has held the title of Manager of Power Contracts since 1985. II With respect to any matter involving the Authority Interest to be decided by the Board of Directors, each Director is entitled to cast votes weighted according to the size of the entitlement to the Authority Interest of the Project Participant represented by such Director in addition to the vote each Director is entitled to cast as a member of the Authority. See "Introduction Cost and Entitlement Shares". All such matters involving the Authority Interest must be decided by at least 80%
of the votes cast, and no such vote may.,be taken unless there shall be present at the meeting Directors entitled to cast more than 50% of the votes relative to such matter.
The Authority has entered into the Agency Agreement pursuant to which the Department, as agent, represents, and undertakes certain activities on behalf of, the Authority in connection with the Authority's acquisition, construction, operation and maintenance of the Authority Interest. The Agency Agreement gives the Agent the responsibility of (a) undertaking those activities necessary (i) to secure regulatory approvals to allow the Authority to acquire the Authority Interest, (ii) to determine the cost of acquisition, construction, operation and maintenance of the Authority Interest, (iii) to formulate arrangements for the transmission of Authority Interest output to the Project Participants, (iv) to formulate the financing program and develop financing documents and (v) to construct, operate and maintain the Authority Interest, and (b) representing the Authority with respect to matters arising under or in connection with the Project Agreements or the construction, operation and maintenance of the Authority Interest.
Further information concerning the Authority may be obtained from the Execut'ive Director, Southern California Public Power Authority, 613 East Broadway, Glendale; California 91205.
Other Activities of the Authority Southern Transmission System. The Authority has entered in agreements providing for (i) the making of payments-in-aid of construction by the Authority to Intermountain Power Agency with respect to a + 500 kV DC bi-pole transmission line from the coal-fired, steam-electric generation station and switchyard located near I ynndyl, in Millard County, Utah, to Adelanto, California, 488 miles in length, together with an AC/DC converter station at each end and related microwave communication system facilities (the "Southern Transmission System" ), (ii) the acquisition of the entitlements to the capability of such System previously held by the Department and the California cities of Anaheim, Riverside, Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena (the "Southern Transmission System Participants" ) and (iii) the sale by the Authority of transmission serv'ice on the Southern Transmission System to the Southern Transmission System Participants. The Authority has issued and has outstand-ing $ 1,147,130,000 principal amount of its bonds, including refunding bonds, to finance the making of payments-in-aid of construction with respect to the Southern Transmission System. Such bonds are payable from payments to be made by the Southern Transmission System Participants under transmis-13
sion service contracts (on the basis of transmission service shares). According to the Consulting Engineer, the permanent financing necessary to provide for all such payments-in-aid of construction and the acquisition of such entitlements totals $ 1,147,130,000. For a discussion of the Intermountain Power Project of which the Southern Transmission System is a part, see "The Project Partici-pants Other ProjectsI of the Project Participants".
Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project. In 1982, the Authority executed agreements pursuant to which the Authority, Salt River Project, M-S-R Public Power Agency, and the Western Area Power Administration ("Western" ) are studying the feasibility of constructing, owning and operating the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project. The Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project is a proposed 240 mile +
500 kV DC transmission line (with AC/DC converter stations at each end) to be constructed between Mead Substation near Boulder City, Nevada and the Phoenix, Arizona area. The Authority has issued notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $ 14.1 million, of which all but $ 100,000 has been prepaid, to finance the costs of such study. The remaining $ 100,000 note matures on December 1, 1991 and is payable from the proceeds of long-term bonds to be issued by the Authority for the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project or from pa'yments by the participants, under project development agreements, on the basis of project entitlement shares. It is currently planned that the transmission line would have a capacity of 2,200 MW and that the converter stations would be built with an initial capacity of 1,600 MW. The initial converter station capacity could be upgraded to the transmision line capacity should this become desirable. If the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project is undertaken, the Authority would finance its interest from the proceeds of long-term bonds secured by payments to be made by the participants on a "take or pay" basis under transmission service contracts. The Authority's present interest is 93.75%. It is estimated that this facility, ifbuilt,,would be in service in the mid-1990's.
For a further discussion of the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project, see the caption "The Department of Water and Power of The City of Los Angeles The Power System Transmission and Distribution" in Appendix B hereto.
Mead-Adelanto Transmission Project. In connection with the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project, certain members of the Authority, Salt River Project,'-S-R Public Power Agency, and Western are studying the feasibility and projected costs of the construction and operation of a new ~ 500-kV DC transmission line from the Mead Substation near Boulder City, Nevada to the vicinity of Adelanto, California, a distance of approximately 215 miles. The proposed participants anticipate that, if constructed, the transmission line could be put into service within the same time frame as the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project. It has not been determined what, ifany, role the Authority will have in the financing or construction of this transmission line project; however, the participants, by resolution, notified the Authority that if the transmission line is constructed, certain participants, if not all, will request the Authority to finance on their behalf.
l Hoover Potuer Plant. In 1985, in accordance with the Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984, Western allocated 127 MW of capacity and approximately 143,000 megawatt-hours ("MWh") of associated energy from the Hoover uprating program to the cities of Anaheim, Azusa, Banning, Burbank, Colton, Glendale, Pasadena, Riverside and Vernon. The cities entered into contracts with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (the "Bureau" ) and Western which provide for advancement of funds by the cities to the Bureau and the purchase of power from the Hoover uprating program, respectively. In 1986, Anaheim, Riverside, Burbank, Azusa, Colton and Banning (the "Hoover Participants" ) assigned to the Authority their entitlement to the Hoover uprating program capacity and associated energy in return for the Authority's agreement to advance funds to the Bureau for the Hoover uprating program.
The Authority has issued $ 34,435,000 of its Hydroelectric Power Project Revenue Bonds, the proceeds of which are projected to be suScient for this purpose. The Authority's proportionate share of the total capacity of the Hoove'r uprating program is expected to be approximately 94 MW and associated energy. The Hoover Participants and the Authority executed power sales contracts, under which the Hoover Participants will b'e entitled to their shares of the Authority's proportionate share of Hoover capacity and associated energy as they become available (the "Hoover Entitlements") and agreed to make monthly payments on a "take or pay" basis. Western has been making the Hoover Entitlements 14
available at the Mead Substation. The cities have each completed the necessary transmission service arrangements from the Mead Substation to the respective cities'lectric systems.
Utah-Nevada Transmission Project. Members of the Authority, together with several electric utilities providing service in Utah and Nevada, are considering constructing, owning and operating an electric transmission project to include facilities to be located in Utah and Nevada. This project, if undertaken and built, would be in operation in the mid-1990's. It is anticipated that, to the extent its members participate in and the Authority undertakes this project, the Authority will own and flnance a portion of the project on behalf of its participating members, who would purchase tr'ansmission service or capability of the project from the Authority.
THE PROJECT AND THE ANPP TRANSMISSION SYSTEM General Description PVNGS consists of three nominal 1,270 MW nuclear generating units, each of which has commenced commercial operation. In May 1986, APS reported to the NRC an adjustment to the design electrical rating of each Unit from 1,270 MW net to 1,221 MW net maximum dependable capacity to reflect the licensed reactor thermal power level. For purposes of its analysis, the Consulting Engineer based the Authority interest output on an assumed production capacity of 1,221 MW net from each of the three units. Based on this assumption, the Project presently has a net'enerating capacity of approximately 3,663 MW. Additionally, it is projected that by 1992 each unit will have achieved a mature plant factor and the Project will have an annual energy output of approximately 22,500,000 MWh. It is projected that the Authority Interest will be capable of delivering approximately 207.4 MW of capacity on average, annually at the variousyoints of delivery, after adjustment for transmission losses. The Project is located on a site of approximately 4,000 acres about 50 miles west of downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The three units are essentially identical in design and share certain common facilities, including a water reclamation plant, make-up water storage reservoir, two on-site wells, domestic water system, demineralized water system, sanitary waste treatment facility, evaporation ponds, laundry and decontamination facility, administration building, guardhouse, security facilities, service warehouse building, switchyard and miscellaneous buildings. Each unit is designed and licensed for a forty year operating life.
The nuclear steam supply system for each unit of the Project, supplied by Combustion Engineer-ing, Inc., is a closed-cycle pressurized water reactor system licensed at 3,817 megawatts of thermal capacity with two reactor coolant loops containing two reactor coolant pumps in each loop. The turbine generators are tandem compound units supplied by the General Electric Company. The main condensers were supplied by the Westinghouse Electric Company and are cooled by circulating water through mechanical draft cooling towers. Make-up water for the dissipated circulating water is obtained primarily from the 91st Avenue Sewage Treatment Plant operated by the City of Phoenix.
This processed effluent is piped to the on-site water reclamation plant where it undergoes additional treatment and is then stored in the on-site reservoir as make-up water. Blow-down from the circulating water system, demineralized water wastes, domestic water wastes, nonradioactive demineralizer regenerants and miscellaneous nonradioactive wastes are directed to the on-site evaporation ponds where they are completely evaporated. Thus, no off-site liquid discharges are required.
At design steam flow and condenser back pressure, the output from the main turbine-generators is 1,304 MW. The main transformers will step up the output voltage of each generator to 525 kV for interconnection into the ANPP Transmission System.
APS is the Project Manager and also operates the three Project units and the Westwing 525 kV Switchyard. The switchyard portions of the Project were constructed and are being managed by Salt River Project.

Project Participants'osts for Power Each Project Participant will incur additional costs to deliver its power to its electric system, pursuant to the transmission and other arrangements discussed in the Consulting Engineer's Report.
The estimates of the Consulting Engineer of costs of the Project Participants for power from the Authority Interest assume, among other things, that the cities of Riverside, Azusa, Banning and Colton will enter into transmission service agreements, and into supplemental agreements to their respective existing Integrated Operations Agreements, with Edison. Such agreements have been entered into by each of the above-named cities and Edison.
Transmission Arrangements Pursuant to the Transmission Agreeinent, the Authority has purchased the right to use 6.55% of the capability of the ANPP Transmission System which is being utilized by Salt River Project for delivery of power and energy associated with the Authority Interest, excluding the Project Entitlement of the District. The Authority has purchased from Salt River Project an undivided ownership interest in the entire ANPP High Voltage Switchyard. The output of the Authority Interest, with the exception of the District's Project Entitlement, will be received by Salt River Project at the transmission side of the high voltage bus of the ANPP High Voltage Switchyard. Salt River Project is making available to the Authority an equivalent amount of power and energy at a combination of the Navajo Switchyard, the Eldorado Substation or the Mead Substation. Navajo Switchyard is located at the Navajo Generating Station in northern Arizona. The Eldorado and Mead substations are located at the southern tip of Nevada, south of Lake Mead, near the Mohave Generating Station.
The Department is transmitting its Project Entitlement from the Project Interconnection Point utilizing its own transmission system.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Transmission Service A'greements between the Department and the other Project Participants, with the exception of the District (the "Transmission Service Agreements" ), the Department is providing transmission service for each such Project Participant's Project Entitlement between the Project Interconnection Point and the Project Participant's Points of Interconnection.
The, District has acquired an ownership interest in the Southwest Powerlink as a permanent means of transmitting its Project Entitlement. This project was completed in 7une 1984. The District completed the new 230 kV interconnection between the Southwest Powerlink and the District system in December 1984. h The proposed Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project, although not required for transmission of the Authority Interest, would allow the Authority members to operate more elficiently. In the event that the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie is constructed, pursuant to the Transmission Agreement, Salt River Project will transmit, as necessary, the Authority Interest power and energy, with th'e exception of the District's Project Entitlement, to the Authority at the Project Interconnection Point. The effects of these proposed facilities have not been included in the Consulting Engineer's analysis.
l Permits, Licenses and Approvals Units 1; 2 and 3 have each received a 40-year Full-Power Operating License from the NRC. APS has stated that all necessary permits, licenses and approvals have been secured.
Operating Experience The erst refueling of Unit 1 was completed in March 1988. As the result of the occurrence of initial operating problems normally expected in a large, new generating facility, the performance of Unit 1 was approximately 51% as compared td the 60% capacity factor assumed by the Consulting'Engineer in 20
previous analyses for the first fuel cycle of commercial operation. For the first nine months of the second fuel cycle, Unit 1 has achieved a 71.3% capacity factor.
The Brst refueling of Unit 2 was completed in June 1988. This unit performed well during its first fuel cycle. Speciflcally, it achieved approximately a 66go capacity factor as compared with the 60%
capacity factor assumed by the Consulting Engineer in previous analyses for the first fuel cycle of commercial operation. For the first Bve months of the second fuel cycle, Unit 2 has achieved a 94.2%
capacity factor.
Unit 3 has been operating on a commercial basis for approximately twelve months. For this portion of the Brst fuel cycle, Unit 3 has achieved approximately a 91.7% capacity factor.
The Department, as the Authority's agent, has indicated APS has either solved or is developing solutions to the operational anomalies encountered by APS in Units 1, 2 and 3 during the Brst fuel cycles.
Operation and Maintenance The Consulting Engineer has reviewed the APS organizational structure which establishes the responsibilities and relationships for operation and maintenance of the Project. Included in the review were 'certain procedures and methodologies for operation and maintenance, as well as the results of certain NRC assessments of APS'erformance in these functional areas.
The NRC, as part of its responsibilities, monitors and evaluates all nuclear plant licensees with respect to operational performance. As part of this industry monitoring function, the NRC has authority to take regulatory action ranging from increased monitoring of selected aspects of a nuclear facility to precluding operations.
The NRC released its most recent Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance ("SALP")
Report for the Project on December 23, 1988. This SALP Report reflected the results of the NRC's periodic evaluation of the performance of the Project for the period November 1, 1987 through October 31, 1988. Although the SALP Report indicates that the overall performance of licensed activities at the Project is satisfactory and directed toward safe facility operation, such performance was considered to have declined when compared to the previous SALP assessment period. Based in part on "enforcement items" which are listed in the SALP Report, the.NRC indicated that additional management attention must be given to specifled functional areas. The NRC has proposed and APS has paid civil penalties of $ 350,000 for "enforcement items" identified at the Project during the last year in the functional areas of operations and radiation protection. APS has indicated that it recognizes that it
'must improve its operational performance at the Project. It has developed plans for such improvement which the NRC has indicated it considers to be positive. APS has indicated that it has initiated such improvements.
Operating Statistics Operating results of Units 1, 2 and 3 are shown in the following table. Although these units have not been operating long enough for their operating statistics to be meaningful compared to industry averages for similar size units, such statistics do provide an indication of how the units have performed when compared to similar units with more operating experience. While Unit 3 has experienced an above-average level of performance, Unit 3 is in its Brst year of commercial operation and has not experienced any maintenance outages or refueling. Based on historical experience of comparable generating units, it is not expected that Unit 3 will continue to achieve, over the long-term, the
'II
substantially above-average level of performance that has been demonstrated during its erst fuel cycle of operation to date.

(3) The Plant Factor is the ratio of the net energy generated to the net capability of that unit times the hours in the period and reflects the unit availability, as well as the actual need for power produced by the unit. Net energy generated is for the periods of flrm power operation for each unit. For this application, Plant Factor is essentially equivalent to capacity factor.
(4) The Operating Availability is the ratio of hours in the period that the unit is capable of operating at some level to the number of hours in the period.
(5) The Equivalent Availability Factor provides an adjustment of the Operating Availability by incorporating the effect of deratings (losses in MW capability) and is essentially "equivalent to" the percentage of a period during which a unit was available for maximum net capability operation.
THE PROJECT PARTICIPANTS General The Project Participants, each of which has executed a Power Sales Contract with the Authority, are the Department, the District, the City of Riverside, the City of Vernon, the City of Burbank, the City of Glendale, the City of Pasadena, the City of Azusa, the City of Banning and the City of Colton. Although a member of the Authority, the City of Anaheim is not a Project Participant. Each of the Project Participants owns and operates an electric system for the distribution of electric energy to its retail customers. This section briefly describes the Project Participants. For additional information about the Project Participants and their respective electric'ystems, see "The Project Participants" in the Consulting Engineer's Report and Appendix B hereto.

The Department The Department, the largest municipal utility in the United States, is a separate proprietary agency of The City of Los Angeles, controlling its own funds and with full responsibility for meeting the water and electric'requirements of The City of Los Angeles. It provides water and electricity services almost entirely within the boundaries of The City of Los Angeles, which encompasses some
'65 square miles, to a population of approximately 3.4 million.
Administration of the Department is under the direction of a five-member Board of Water and Power Commissioners. The Board of Water, and Power Commissioners Axes the Department's electric rates, subject to the approval of the City Council, by ordinance. The Department's rates are not regulated by any California state agency and are not subject to approval by any Federal agency, but the Department is subject to certain ratemaking provisions of the Federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.
I The Department's maximum net hourly peak demand, 4,991 MW, occurred in September 1988.
The power supply of the Department consists primarily of its own generating resources, part of which are located within the Los Angeles Basin, and its 491 MW entitlement from the Hoover Power Plant.
As of December 31, 1988, the Department had a net dependable system capability of over 7,200 MW, which is owned or operated generation. Steam electric generating capability was equal to 73% of the system's total net capability and owned or operated hydroelectric generating capacity accounted for 20% of such capability. Purchases are made on a day to day or week to week basis that will alter these percentages. The Department estimates that its capital expenditures for power generating and distribution facilities for the Bve-year period which began July 1, 1988 will total approximately 8L7 billion.
Imperial Irrigation District The District is a publicly-owned, water and power utility located in southern California. The gross area served by the District is approximately 6,400 square miles in Imperial County and the Coachella Valley of Riverside County. The power supply of the District consists of hydroelectric units on the All-American Canal and oil- and gas-Bred generating facilities, as well as purchases of capacity and energy from other sources. In the twelve months ended December 31, 1988, the District experienced a peak demand of approximately 455.0 MW, generated 781,371 MWh and purchased 1,127,202 MWh.
Administration of the District is under the direction of a five-member Board of Directors. Electric rites a'e set by the Board of Directors after a series of public hearings and presentations to the city councils of the cities located within the District's service area. The District's electric rates are not subject to regulation by any California state agency and are not subject to approval by any Federal agency, but the District is subject to certain rate making provisions of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.
Cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton C The cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton each are municipal corporations existing under the laws of the State of California, each owning and operating electric public utilities for their respective citizens, providing electric service to virtually all of the electric customers within the respective city limits, which together encompass a total of approximately 128 square miles. The principal facilities of the cities'lectric systems are sub-transmission and distribution lines aggregating approximately 1,619 circuit miles of transmission lines, and for the'City of Riverside, 740 circuit miles of street lighting distribution lines, as of June 30, 1988.
Electric rates for the City of Riverside are established by the Riverside Board of Public Utilities, subject to approval of the Riverside City Council. Electric rates for the other cities are established by the respective city councils. None of these electric rates are subject to regulation by any California z 24
state agency. The cities of Riverside and Vernon (because of the magnitude of their energy sales) are subject to certain rate making provisions of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.
The five cities operate their respective electric systems and obtain their bulk power supply in accordance with provisions of their respective Integrated Operations Agreements, as amended
("IOA"),which each city has executed with Edison. Each IOA provides, among other things, that the requirements of each city's electric system will be met by generating resources in which each such city has a contractual ownership interest and, to the extent required, by wholesale purchases from Edison.
The City of Riverside has a 1.79/o ownership interest, approximately 38.49 MW, in the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 ("San Onofre"). San Onofre Unit 2 commenced commercial operation in October 1983 and Unit 3 commenced commercial operation in April 1984.
At this time the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton receive power and energy from their respective Project Entitlements in Unit'1, Unit 2 and Unit 3, Hoover Entitlements and short term Srm purchases and purchase interruptible energy from other utilities and governmental agencies when it is available at an, economically attractive price and transmission is available. The City of Riverside also has a 7.617% generation entitlement share in IPP (121.87 MW). The City of Riverside has entered into a power sales agreement with Deseret Generation Transmission. Co-operative
("Deseret") pursuant to which the City of Riverside has agreed to purchase 46.69 MW, plus losses which are to be determined between IPP and the Mona 345-kV bus, of firm capacity and associated energy. Riverside's contract also provides Deseret with first rights to supply the City of Riverside with certain economy and replacement energy. The capacity and energy from Deseret is currently available although it has not been integrated with Edison and is not subject to provisions of the IOA. The City of Vernon receives power and energy from its diesel units and a recently installed gas turbine. All remaining power and energy requirements for each of the five cities are purchased from Edison at wholesale rates.
The City of Banning has issued $ 2,570,000 of Certificates of Participation to fund a hydroelectr'ic generating project which is anticipated to generate approximately 829 kW and 5,280 MWh annually.
Additionally, the City of Vernon has issued $ 125,000,000 of Electric, System Revenue Bonds to fund such City's Bear Butte hydroelectric, pumped storage project which is anticipated by the City to generate approximately 120 MW of peaking capacity and 205,500 MWh and 161,100 MWh annually during high and low water years, respectively. The City further anticipates utilizing approximately 42 MW to meet a portion of its electric load with the balance of the project power sold to one or more publicly owned utilities. The project is presently in the design and engineering phase and is anticipated by the, City to be in commercial operation during 1997. Due to the preliminary nature of design, licensing and contract status, the Consulting Engineer has not included the power and energy from this project in its analysis.
Cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena The cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena are each municipal corporations existing under the laws of the State of California, owning and operating electric public utilities providing electric service to virtually all of the electric customers within their respective city limits.
Electric rates for each city are fixed by its City Council and are not subject to regulation by any California state agency. Each city is subject to certain ratemaking provisions of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.
Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena supply electricity to their respective electric systems through a combination of oil- and gas-fired genera/ing facilities located in the Los Angeles Basin, 34 MW of hydroelectric generation at the Hoover'Power Plant and purchases from the Bonneville Power" Admiriistration and other utilities in the Northwest and Southwest. The City of Pasadena also purchases electric energy from the Azusa Hydroelectric Plant. In the twelve months ended June 30, 1988, the three cities generated an aggregate of 861,770 MWh of energy and purchased an aggregate of 2,224,939 MWh.
Other Projects of the Project Participants Intennountain Potoer Project. In 1977, several Utah municipalities organized the Intermountain Power Agency ("IPA"), a political subdivision of the State of Utah. The purpose of IPA is to provide for the financing, constructing and operating of the Intermountain Power Project ("IPP").
In'1980, the Department and the cities of Anaheim, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena and Riverside (the "California IPP Purchasers" ) each entered into a power sales contract with IPA which obligates each such Purchaser to purchase, on a "take or pay" basis, a percentage share of IPP capacity and energy. The Department and the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena also entered into an Excess Power Sales Agreement, also on a "take or pay" basis, with the Utah municipal and cooperative IPP purchasers, pursuant to which IPP generation entitlement projected to be surplus to such Utah purchasers'eeds will be made available to the Department and the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena.
In early 1983, each IPP Purchaser entered into amendments to its power sales contract and the Excess Power Sales Agreement. All California IPP Purchasers except Glendale also entered into Lay-off Power Purchase Contracts (the "Lay-off Contracts" ) with IPA and Utah Power 8z Light Company
("UPltrL") through'which UPitrL assigned portions of its entitlement to IPP capacity and energy to such Purchasers. UPLL has recently merged with and is a division of PacifiCorp.
The IPP generation entitlement of each of the California IPP Purchasers resulting from the power sales contracts, as amended, and the Lay-off Contracts is shown in the following table:

The amounts of generating capability that will be available pursuant to'the Excess Powe'r Sales Agreement, as amended, will vary in accordance with the provisions of that Agreeme'nt.
Presently, and through March 24, 1999, according to the most recent forecasts furnished pursuant to terms of the Excess Power Sales Agreement, as amended, the quantities of capacity and energy that will be available at the Adelanto point of delivery are approximately 328 MW and, assuming a 70%
plant factor, approximately 2,011,296 MWh annually.
IPP consists of the following: (a) a two unit, 1,600 MW net coal-fired, steam-electric generation station located near Lynndyl, Utah; (b) the Southern Transmission System; and (c) two 50-mile 345 kV AC transmission lines from the generation station to a switchyard near Mona, Utah and a 230 kV AC transmission line from the generation station to a switchyard near Ely, Nevada, A portion of the funds required for IPP construction is being provided by IPA with the remainder being provided by the Authority as payments-in-aid,of construction with respect to the Southern Transmission System. IPA has outstanding approximately $ 6954,682,000 par amount of bonds, includ-ing 81,634,995,000 of special obligation bonds and special obligation Refunding bonds which together with the payments-in-aid of construction with respect to the Southern Transmission System provided by the Authority have allowed IPA to construct and place IPP in service. The amount of IPA's outstanding debt is expected to be reduced on July 1, 1995 by $ 1,532,110,000 when the special obligation bonds and special obligation refunding bonds are expected to be used to effect the
'I
redemption of certain of IPA's outstanding bonds and will thereby reduce IPA's overall debt service.
IPA will continue to,review the options that are available to it to reduce its annual debt service and may undertake additional refundings. For a discussion of the Southern Transmission System, including the total financing requirements for the Authority's payments-in-aid of construction, see the caption "Future Power Supply Resources Southern Transmission System" in the Consulting Engineer's Report.
The first IPP generating unit was declared available, for cominercial operation in June 1986, the second unit in'May 1987.
Despite the occurrence of operating problems normally expected in a new generating facility and certain abnormal conditions, IPP has to date operated with a high degree of availability. The Department and the Intermountain Power Service Corporation have either solved or are working on solutions to the problems encountered.
All permits,-licenses and approvals required to be obtained, for IPP to date have been obtained.
The Authority has been informed that litigation seeking to apply southern California air quality requirements to the IPP generation station has been threatened by a company whose efforts to construct a,35 MW power plant in southern California have been adversely impacted by the more "stringent southern California air quality requirements. The Authority has been advised by the Department that all air quality permits necessary to operate the IPP generation station have been obtained.
The Department has executed, agreements to provide transmission service from the Adelanto Converter Station as necessary to enable the other five California IPP Purchasers to accept delivery 'of their shares of IPP generation.
Southern Transm'ission System. Certain of the Project Participants have entitlements in the Southern Transmission System totalling approximately 82.4%. See "Southern California Public Power Authority Other Activities of the, Authority" for a discussion of this project.
White Pine Pouter Project. Certain of the Project Participants, apart from the Authority and together with other public and private utilities in California and Nevada, have conducted studies to establish the feasibility of and proceed with the licensing activities necessary for constructing a coal-fired generating station near Ely, Nevada. This generating station would have a capability of approximately,1,500 MW. It is contemplated that White Pine County would own all, or a major portion of, and finance this project through bonds issued by White Pine County which would be secured by power sales contracts entered into with the, various purchasers of power from the project. The Project Participants'ombined entitlement percentage share for feasibility studies is approximately 47.36%.
The participants in the White Pine Power Project entered into power supply development agreements with White Pine County in the fall of 1980 for the purpose of conducting a study to determine the feasibility of constructing and'perating"'the project. White Pine County has issued notes in the principal amount of $ 19,929,000 for such purposes, all but $ 500,000 principal amount of which has been prepaid. The remaining $ 500,000 note matures December 31, 1992 and is payable from the proceeds of long-term bonds to be issued by the County or from payments by the participants under such agreements on the basis of entitlement shares. The projected commercial operation date for the two 750 MW generating units, if built, is in the mid-1990's. For a further discussion of the White Pine Power Project, see the caption "The Department of Water and Power of The City of I os Angeles Power System'Generation Resource Additions White Pine Power Project" in Appendix B hereto.
Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project. Certain of the Project Participants have entitlements in the
'uthority's interest in the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project totalling approximately 93.75%. See "Southern California Public Power Authority Other Activities of the Authority" for a discussion of this proposed project.
Deuers-Pato Verde ¹2 Transmission Line. The Department,,the District, M-S-R'Public Power Agency, and the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Azusa, Banning and Colton along with Edison, as project manager, have undertaken studies to explore the feasibility of construct-ing a 500 kV AC transmission line. This proposed Devers-Palo Verde ¹2 transmission line, ifbuilt, will
parallel the existing Devers-Palo Verde ¹1 transmission line from the Project to Edison's Devers Substation, which is located west of Desert Hot Springs, California. The Project rights in the proposed Dever'siPalo Verde'¹2 transmission line total 36.8%. Edison has Participants'articipation scheduled this project for completion in 1993. On December 8, 1988, the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") granted Edison a Certificate of Public Conv'enience and Necessity for this project. In its decision, the CPUC reserves the right to reevaluate its approval if the proposed Edison San Diego Gas I Electric Company ("SDGRE") merger (CPUC Application 8-12-035; FERC Docket No. EC 89-5-000) is consummated or is still pending as of January 1, 1990. The decision notes that there may be no economic benefit from the line for Edison ratepayers if the merger is completed. Pursuant to an agreement with Edison,'the,.Department has the right to constru'ct this transmission line if Edison fails to commence construction before July 1, 1989. It is not clear what effect, ifany, the above-described developments will have on the construction of this transmission line or the participation of the above mentioned utilities.
California-Oregon Transtnission Project. The cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton executed a Memorandum of Understanding, dated as of December 19, 1984, which authorizes these" cities, along with other utilities and governmental agencies located in California, to study the construction of the California-Oregon Transmission Project. Such Project relates to possible alterna-tive methods of developing additional 500 kV AC transmission facilities between California'and Northwest. The participants have executed a project development agreement pursuant to the'Pacific which they will study the feasibility of constructing and operating the California-Oregon Transmission Project. It has not been determined what role, if any, the Authority will have in this transmission line project.
Splmar Expansion Project. The Department and the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena are participants in the Sylmar Expansion Project ("SEP") which is an 1,100 MW exp'ansion of the terminal capacity at the existing AC/DC converter station which is located at Sylmar, California. This Project will increase the capacity of the Pacific Northwest-Southwest DC Intertie ("Intertie" ) from 2,000 MW to 3,100 MW. The Department is the project manager for the southern terminal of the Intertie and is responsible for the construction of the SEP. The Bonneville Power Administration is the project manager for the northern terminal and is responsible for a similar expansion at the northern converter station of the Intertie in Oregon. The Department projects that the cost of the SEP will be $ 171,000,000 and that the SEP will be completed in February 1989. Each participant is providing its own funding for its share of the SEP.
For a discussion of other projects under consideration by the Department, see "The Department of Water and Power of The City of Los Angeles Power System Generation Resource Additions" in Appendix B hereto.
AVAILABILITYOF OPERATING FUNDS AND AVAILABLEINFORMATION.CONCERNING OTHER OWNERS OF PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION Continued operation of the Project is dependent upon, among other things, the owners making timely payment of their respective payment obligations under'he Participation Agreement. The capability of the owners to provide such payment is dependent upon their continued ability to generate the necessary funds froni internal or external sources.
Information concerning other owners of the Project is available from a number of sources.

CONSIDERATIONS, ASSUMPTIONS AND OPINIONS OF THE CONSULTING ENGINEER Principal Considerations and Assumptions The estimates and projections contained herein are based, in part, on the following information which was provided by the identified sources. While the Consulting Engineer believes, these sources to be reliable and has no reason to believe such information is unreasonable, the Consulting Engineer has not independently verified such information.
1., Projections of the Department's power and energy requirements, resources and power supply costs, excluding costs of its Project Entitlement and IPP generation entitlements, were provided by the Department.
- 2. Projections of power and energy requirements for the cities of Riverside, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton and the District were provided by those project participants.
- 3. Excluding their Project Entitlements, IPP generation entitlements and the Hoover projections of resources for the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena uprating'roject, were provided by those Project Participants,
- 4. Projections of capital expenditures and operation and maintenance expenses for the Depart-ment, and the cities of Riverside, Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena were provided by those project participants.
- 5. The District and the City of Vernon provided projections of their capital expenditures.
- 6. The financial advisor has provided the Consulting Engineer with assumed investment rates of 8.0% through fiscal year 1992 and 7.85% for fiscal year 1993 for the proceeds of Prior Series Bonds and the 1989 Bonds deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Account. in the Debt Service Fund and the Reserve and Contingency Fund, and 7.0% for such proceeds deposited in all o'ther funds.
The Consulting Engineer's Report projected wholesale power and energy rates fo'r Edison. Oil and gas prices have a direct impact on Edison rates. The oil price level used in the analyses of future Edison rates is based on an average cost of 818.54 per barrel in 1988 increasing at 4.2% per year through 1993 and at 5.?% per year after 1990. The natural gas price level is based on an average cost of 83.04 per million BTU in 1988 increasing at 4.2% per year through 1990 and at 5.7% per year after 1990.
Additionally, the Consulting Engineer cannot presently determine to what extent Edison will be allowed to include CWIP in its wholesale electric rates. Edison has not included CWIP in its most recent rate settlement with the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton. The Consulting Engineer's projections of Edison's wholesale electric rates do not include an allowance for CWIP in its 29
rate base. The Consulting Engineer has not analyzed what impact, if any, the proposed merger, if approved, of SDGRE with Edison will have on Edison's operations or its wholesale electric rates.
Additionally, iit the preparation of its report and the numbered opinions that follow, the Consulting Engineer has made" certain assumptions with respect to conditions which may occur in the future. While the Consulting Engineer believes these assumptions are reasonable for the purpose of its report, they are dependent upon future events, and actual conditions may differ from those assumed.
In making such assumptions, the Consulting Engineer has used and relied upon certain information provided to the Consulting Engineer by the Department, acting as the Authority's agent, the Project Participants, Edison and others. While the Consulting Engineer believes the sources to be reliable, the Consulting Engineer has not independently veri6ed the information. To the extent that actual future conditions differ from those assumed in the Consulting Engineer's Report or from the information provided to the Consulting Engineer by others, the actual results will vary from those projected. The principal assumptions made by the Consulting'Engineer and the principal information" related to such assumptions provided to the Consulting Engineer by others include the following:
- 1. Based on actual expenditures through November 30, 1988, APS's estimate of direct construc-tion costs of the Project, and the Authority contingency allowance for uncertainties not included in APS's estimate of the total construction costs for the Project provided by the Department, as the Authority's Agent, the cost of acquisition of the Authority Interest will be 8465,170,000.
- 2. Operating costs of the Project were projected by APS with the exception of taxes.
- 3. Based on APS's projection, as adjusted by the Consulting Engineer, Unit 3 will have a plant factor of approximately 60% during the first cycle of operation and each unit will have a plant factor of approximately 65% during the second cycle of operation and 70% thereafter.
- 4. By such time as the on-site fuel storage facilities reach capacity, a national program for spent
'. fuel disposal will have been implemented.
Existing environmental laws and regulations will not'e modified to adversely affect the construction cost or scheduled completion date of the Project or the Project operation.
- 6. If additional permits, licenses and approvals are necessary to continue operating the Project, they will be received on a timely basis.
- 7. The variable cost of power from the project will, in the future, maintain its same position relative to the variable costs of power from alternative resources which'are now available to the Project Participants.
- 8. The cities oF Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton have integrated their respective Project Entitlements as a City Capacity Resource under their respective Integrated Opera-tions Agreements with Edison.
- 9. Power and energy requirements of the cities of Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton, beyond that provided by their respective Project Entitlements and their respective Hoover uprating project entitlements, including Western energy credits, their respective short-term Brm
.= power purchases under contract or agreement and the City of Vernon's diesel generators and the City of Banning's hydroelectric generating project, will be purchased from Edison in accordance with the terms of their respective Integrated Operations Agreements.
- 10. Power and energy requirements of the City of Riverside, beyond those provided by its Project Entitlement, San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3, IPP, Deseret and its Hoover uprating project entitlement, including Western Energy credits, and short-term Brm power purchases under contract or agreement will be purchased from Edison in accordance with the terms of,its Integrated Operations Agreement.
ll. With the exception of the Department and the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena, the Project Participants'articipation in other potential resources or economy purchases which are not under contract but which may become available to such Project Participants during 30
the projected period have not been included in the projected power costs or the Consulting Engineer's projected resources of the Project Participants.
1 Based on information provided by the Project Participants, the District, Glendale, Azusa and Colton will finance the projected costs of normal capital replacements and improvements, if any, to their electric systems from current revenues.
13 Transmission for each Project Participant's Project Entitlement will be provided in accor-dance with the agreements as discussed in the Consulting Engineer's Report.
h 14 Projected wholesale power and energy rates for Edison are based on historical results of Edison operations, recent rate filings, and Edison's electric system resource plans and load forecasts. Further, in projecting Edison rates, the Consulting Engineer has supplemented recent Edison filings with the following assumptions: (1) FERC will allow Edison a 13.00%
rate of return on commo'n equity in 1988 through 1990 and 13.5% in 1991 and thereafter; (2) the basic rate of inflation will be approximately 4.2% per year; (3) annual escalation for coal will be 5.7% per year(4) operating expenses will escalate at 4.2% per year; and (5) the costs of construction will generally escalate at 5.2% per year. The resulting wholesale energy charges paid by the cities of Azusa, Banning, Colton, Riverside, and Vernon to Edison would increase at approximately 3.7%, per year for fiscal years 1988-1993.
- 15. The 1988 average revenue per unit of energy sales, based on 1988 revenues from the sales of electricity and total energy sales, as provided by all Project Participants with the exception of the Department, will continue at the same level for the projected energy sales over the period of fiscal years ending June 30, 1989 through 1993.
- 16. The existing ratemaking authority of the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Azusa, Banning and Colton and the District to establish rates for the purpose of providing necessary revenues for their respective electric utility systems will not be adversely modified.
- 17. The capital expenditures and operation and maintenance expenses for the cities of Azusa, Banning and Colton will follow historical trends.
- 18. The operation and maintenance expenses for the District and the City of Vernon will follow historical trends.
Opinions Based upon the Consulting Engineer's studies and analyses, the considerations and assumptions set forth above and the information supplied by the Project Participants, the Department, acting as the Authority's Agent, and Edison with respect to the Authority's acquisition, construction and placing into operation of the Authority Interest, the Consulting Engineer is of the opinion that:
Financing by the Authority to provide funds to allow completion of the Authority Interest has been completed.
The projected cost of power from the Authority Interest. is reasonable when compared with the cost of power expected from other long-term power supply resources which may be available to the Project Participants in the same time frame as the Project.
The Project Participants will continue to schedule the maximum amount of the production available from their respective Project Entitlements.
The projected revenue requirements from the sale of electricity for the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Azusa, Banning and Colton and the District during fiscal years ending June 30, 1989 through 1993 can reasonably be met.

LETTER OF THE DEPARTMENT As stated in the letter of the Department attached hereto as Appendix F, based upon, among other things, the Department's studies and analyses which have included projections with respect to, among other things, the estimated cost of power from the Authority Interest as contained in the Consulting Engineer's Report, the estimated cost and availability of oil and natural gas, future load growth in The City of Los Angeles, and the estimated future electric system revenue requirements, as estimated by the Department, the Department is of the opinion that:
- 1. The Department's share of the output from the Authority Interest will, over time, be economically beneficial to the Department in displacing base load oil- and n'atural gas-fired generation in the Los Angeles basin; T '.
R. The projected cost of power to the Department from the Authority Interest makes such power economically attractive in the long term to the Department when compared with the projected price levels of oil and natural gas and with the projected cost of power from other alternative resources which may be available to the Department; and
- 3. For the period through June 30, 1993, the Department's electric system revenues will be sufllcient to enable it to pay the Authority all amounts payable under the Department's Power Sales Contract and to pay all other amounts payable from, and all liens on and lawful charges against, the Department's power system revenues.
CERTAIN FACTORS AFFECTING THE UTILITYINDUSTRY AND TAKE OR PAY POWER SUPPLY AGREEMENTS The electric utility industry has experienced and is experiencing various problems, including the effect of inflation on the cost of construction and operation of utility facilities, the fluctuating costs and uncertain availability of fuel, particularly fossil fuels, compliance with new legislation, the uncertain availability and increased cost of capital, cancellation of projects and related contractual litigation, and environmental regulations, licensing procedures, litigation and other factors which may delay the construction and increase the cost of new facilities, the cost of power or limit use of, or necessitate costly modifications to, existing facilities.
Federal energy legislation enacted in 1978 authorizes the President to allocate coal supplies in the event of an energy supply interruption or fuel supply shortage, authorizes the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to order mandatory interconnection and wheeling and to review automatic rate adjustment clauses and directs state regulatory authorities and nonregulated utilities to consider certain standards for rate design and other utility procedures. The Authority is unable to determine the efFect such legislation may have on its operations and those of the Project Participants.
In June 1983, the .Supreme Court of the State of Washington held invalid the "take or pay" participation agreements between the 'Washington Public Power Supply System (the "Supply Sys-tem"-), a joint action power agency, and certain State of Washington public entities relating to two terminated nuclear generating projects of the Supply System. The Court held that those public entities lacked statutory authority under Washington law to enter into such participation agreements.
Following the Court's decisions, the Superior Court of King County, Washington held unenforceable the "take or pay" participation agreements entered into between the Supply System and the 88 participants in the two terminated nuclear generating projects. The Superior Court's decision was afllrmed by the Supreme Court of tlie State of Washington. A petition seeking review of that decision was denied by the United States Supreme Court. In March 1984, the Supreme Court of the State of Oregon unanimously reversed a lower court decision and upheld the authority of Oregon public entities to enter into the "take or pay" participation agreements. Additionally, the Supreme Court of the State of Idaho in September.1983 held that the "take or pay" participation agreements entered into between the five Idaho cities and the Supply System are void because the Idaho cities failed to comply
with a constitutional provision requiring voter approval before incurring indebtedness or liability exceeding a certain amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing litigation and decisions, the Authority believes that the Power Sales Contracts are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Project Participants. Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander 5t Ferdon, Bond Counsel, are of the opinion that none of these decisions affect the validity of the Power Sales Contracts. See the proposed form of the opinion of Bond Counsel attached hereto as Appendix E.
LITIGATION At the time of delivery of the 1989 Bonds, an appropriate officer of the A'uthority will certify that, except for the action and threatened proceedings described below under "Thurston Litigation", there is no litigation or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Authority, threatened in any court, agency or. other administrative body (either state or Federal) restraining or enjoining the issuance, sale or delivery of the 1989 Bonds or the collection of Revenues, or in any way questioning or affecting (i) the proceedings under which the 1989 Bonds are to be issued, (ii) the validity of any provision of the 1989 Bonds or the Bond Indenture, (iii) the pledge by the Authority under the Bond Indenture, (iv) the validity or enforceability of the Power Sales Contracts, (v) the legal existence of the Authority or the title to ofHce of the present ofBcials of the Authority, or (vi) the authority of the Authority to own and operate the Authority Interest.
1I Thurston Litigation On July 27, 1982, three individual plaintiffs filed an action entitled Thurston et aL v. Southern California Public Poicer Authority et al. in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles against the Authority,'the Department and other unnamed defendants, seeking, among other relief, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction and a permanent injunction to, among other things, prevent the. Authority from selling or issuing revenue bonds to finance the Authority Interest and to prevent the expenditure of public moneys by the defendants with respect to the Authority Interest. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that (i) the undertaking by the Department of its obligations under, and the performance by the Department of, its Power Sales Contract violates certain provisions of the Constitution and statutes of the State of California and the Los Angeles City Charter, (ii) the terms of the revenue bonds proposed to be issued by the Authority would violate, and the authorization of such iss'uance by the Project Participants without a vote of the electorate violates, certain provisions of the statutes of the State oF California, and (iii) the proposed transactions and certain acts of the defendants in connection therewith are unsound or unlawful business practices, an unsound business venture, or are otherwise illegal. On July 27, 1982, the plaintiffs'otion for a temporary restraining order was denied.
A hearing on plaintiffs'otion for a preliminary injunction in the action was held on August 10, 1982; plaintiffs'otion was denied at that hearing. On August 16, 1982, the plaintiffs appealed to the California'ourt of Appeal for the Second Appellate District from the denial of their motion for a preliminary injunction. The plaintiffs also filed'with that court a'petition for writ of supersedeas to stay enforcement of the order denying the preliminary injunction and to enjoin the Authority from issuing indebtedness, and from delivering any proc'eeds of indebtedness pursuant to the assignment agree-ment, On August 20, 1982, the Court of Appeal denied plaintiffs'etition. On July 12, 1984, the Court of Appeal entered its decision afFirming the decision of the trial court and rejecting all issues raised by the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs did not seek appellate review by the California Supreme Court of the July 12, 1984 Court of Appeal decision. The action has now been returned to the Superior Court, as the trial court, and is awaiting further action, ifany, by'he plaintiffs. The Authority and its Legal Counsel, Rourke R Woodruff, and the Department and the Los Angeles City Attorney have reviewed the complaint and the other court documents filed in the action (including those relating to the Court of Appeal proceedings) and have researched the legal issues raised by the plaintiffs therein. Based upon such Q review and research, the Authority and its Legal Counsel are of the opinion that insofar as the action 33
relates to the Authority, and the Department and the Los Angeles City Attorney are of the opinion that insofar as the action relates to the Department, the issues raised by the plaintiffs are without merit and the defendants have sound legal defenses to the causes of action contained in the complaint.
Project-Related Litigation In January 1982, the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian "Commumty filed an action entitled Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community v. United States et al. against the United States, the Secretary of the Interior, Salt River Project, Salt River Valley Water User's Association, a number of water conservation and irrigation districts, the City of Phoenix, and other cities in the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan area, and the participants in the Project.
The action was originally brought only against the United States and the Secretary of the Interior in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The United States moved for transfer of the action to the United States District Court for Ariz'ona and the motion was granted. Upon transfer, the Indian Community filed an amended complaint adding the additional'parties, including the Authority and the Department.
The gist of the Complaint is that the Indian Community is entitled to certain water rights in and to the waters of the Salt River, including underground waters, under the Winters doctrine, contracts, court decisions and other federal law, and that the United States is not requiring Salt River Project to make water available to the Indian Community in accordance with those rights. Among the claims is the claim that Salt River Project delivers water to certain cities, including the City of Phoenix; that these cities pump water from the ground water basin; that the waters delivered to and pumped by the cities are subject to the claims made by the Indian Community; that the City of Phoenix and the other cities have agreed to sell effluent from the sewage treatment plant of the City to the Project for cooling purposes, and such effluent is subject to the claims of the Indian Community, and therefore the contract for sale of a portion of the efffuent to the Project is invalid. The participants in the Project joined with other, defendants in a motion to dismiss. The District Court's judgment, as amended on June 13, 1983, dismissed the entire action as to the Authority, the Department and APS, among others, but not as to Salt River Project. The District Court held that the plaintifF had no standing to challenge the Salt River Project APS effluent contract. On June 13, 1983, the plaintifF appealed from the District Court's judgment. On September 4, 1984, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court's judgment. The Ninth Circuit held that, the plaintiffs had standing to challenge the effluent contract and remanded the case to the District Court. The Authority and other participants in the Project Bled a petition for a writ of certiorari seeking review of the Ninth Circuit's decision by the United States Supreme Court. This petition was denied. On February 25, 1985, the District Court stayed discovery on the claim challenging the effiuent contract, pending resolution of the claims against the Secretary of the Interior and Salt River Project relating to the administration of the reclamation project. Since that, date, a proposed settlement betvveen the Indian Community and Salt River Project has been announced which would lead to the dismissal of this litigation without any adverse effect on the primary effluent contract. The proposed settlement was contingent, however, upon the passage of federal legislation and the appropriation, of federal monies. On October.,31, 1988, the President signed federal legislation conforming to the requirements of the proposed settlement.
However, Congress has not yet appropriated the federal money necessary to effectuate the settlement.
Furthermore, the Arizona State Legislature will have to appropriate approximately $ 3 million before the settlement will become Bnal.
On November 3, 1982, a lawsuit entitled A Tumbling T Ranches, et al, v. Citing of Phoenix, et al. was Bled in the Arizona Superior Court by certain Arizona farm operators against, among others, the Department, the City of Phoenix and the Project participants, including the Authority. The lawsuit seeks, among other relief, declarations that the plaintiffs have previously established rights to some of the sewage effluent water contracted for by the Project participants for"use at the Project and that the sale of that effluent by the City of Phoenix and other cities violates Arizona statutory and common law, and a permanent injunction enjoining the sale and delivery of the sewage effiuent to the Project. The 34
., oject participants, including the Authority, have answered the complaint-denying the substantive egations thereof and discovery has commenced.
On January 23, 1983, APS and Salt River Project, as contracting parties to the effiuent contract, an d others filed a declaratory relief action in the Arizona Superior Court against the plaintiffs in the A Tumbling T Ranches action and the plaintiffs in the federal action entitled Long, et al. v. Salt River Project, et al. (described below). This state suit, which is entitled Arizona Public Service Co., et al. v.
Long, et al., seeks a declaration that, under Arizona law, effiuent is neither surface water nor gro undwater, but rather is the property of, and can be disposed of, by the entity that produces it. This stat e action has been consolidated with the A Tumbling T Ranches action (hereinafter, "consolidated stat e cases").
On October 2, 1985, the Judge in the consolidated state cases ruled on cross-inotions for summary Jud gment, denying the motions filed by the plaintiffs in the A Tumbling T Ranches action and the defendants in Arizona Public Service Co., et al. v. Long, et al. and granting APS', Salt River Project's and oth ers'otions for summary judgment to the extent said motions were consistent with his declaration tha t "It]he'effluent which is the subject of the sales contracts between the Cities and the utilities in this case is not subject to regulation under the surface water or ground water laws of the State of Arizona." The plaintiffs in the A Tumbling T Ranches action filed a motion for new trial which was de nied on February 4, 1986. The defendants in Arizona Public Service Co., et al; v. Long, et al. filed a No tice of Appeal on January 14, "1986. The Authority and the other participants in the Project except .
for Salt River Project filed a notice of cross-appeal in order to preserve an issue in the event of a re mand. On December 17, 1986, the appeals were ordered transferred from the Arizona'ourt of Appeals to the Arizona Supreme Court. Oral argument before the Arizona Supreme Court was heard in Fe bruary 1987. As a result of recusal by three members of the Arizona Supreme Court panel because of sible conflicts of interest, the matter was reargued before a new panel of the Arizona Supreme Co urt in February 1988.
A federal lawsuit was filed on December 12, 1983 in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona entitled Long," et al. v. Salt River Project, et al., by an owner of land within the Salt River Project district and others, naming the Authority, the Department, Salt River Project and others as defendants. The lawsuit challenges on several grounds the validity of the primary contract for the sale of effluent for cooling purposes at the Project. The federal action also asserted on behalf of an alleged class a claim against the Project participants, including the Authority, for $ 50,000,000 based upon alleged inverse condemnation of water rights. On November 22, 1985, the District Court entered judgment dismissing the federal action. On December 19, 1985 the plaintiffs in the federal action filed a notice of appeal, and in June 1987 the Ninth Circuit of the United States Court of A'ppeals affirmed the dismissal of the action. The plaintiffs did not seek further review of that ruling and the time to do so has expired. I On November 22, 1985, certain cities who are parties to the effluent contract (the "Cities" ) filed a declaratory relief action entitled City of Phoenix et aL v. John E Long in the Arizona Super'ior Court against the Long plaintiffs in the above-described federal action seeking a judgment that the primary effluent contract is valid. The defendants filed a Special Action counterclaim against the Cities. The court subsequently added APS and Salt River Project to the counterclaim as real parties in interest.
The counterclaim sought a judgment declaring, among other things, that in approving the effluent contract the Cities exceeded their legal authority and that the Cities should be directed to cease performance under the effluent contract. APS and Salt River Project denied the allegations of the counterclaim and asserted as affirmative defenses that the defendants lacked standing to assert the counterclaim and that the counterclaim was barred by the statute of limitations and by lache's. The defendants sought leave to file an amended answer and counterclaims and to join additional parties, including the Authority. By Order dated May 29, 1986, the court permitted the defendants to file their amended answer and counterclaims only to the extent that counterclaims 1 through 4 restated the substance of the original counterclaims concerning the legal authority of the Cities to approve the effiuent contract. The defendants were denied leave to file their remaining proposed counterclaims
and to add the parties named therein. By Order dated June 2, 1986, the court ruled on cross-motions for summary judgment, denying the defendants'otion and granting judgment in favor of the Cities, APS and Salt River Project. The court rejected each of the defendants'hallenges to the effluent contract and declared that it "is a valid and enforceable contract." The defendants filed a Notice of Appeal on August 27, 1986, and APS filed a Notice of Cross-Appeal on September 15, 1986, concerning the issue of whether the defendants'laims are barred by laches, estoppel, the statute of limitations and lack of standing. On February 11, 1988 the Arizona Court of Appeals afHrmed the ruling in favor of Salt River Project and APS and reversed a lower court ruling which had denied APS its costs. On March 14, 1988 the Longs petitioned the Arizona Supreme Court for review. APS filed an opposition to the petition. Subsequently, three members of the Supreme Court recused themselves from this matter because of possible conflicts of interest. Accordingly, the Supreme Court appointed three members of the Court of Appeals to participate in the decision on whether to review the petition, and in any decision of the matter should review be granted. On September 26, 1988, the Arizona Supreme Court denied the Longs'etition for review. The Longs did not seek review of this decision by the United States Supreme Court, and the time to do so has expired.
A summons served on APS in early 1986 required all water claimantsin the Lower Gila River Watershed in Arizona to assert any claims to water on or before January 20, 1987, in an action entitled In Re the General Adjudication ofAllRight to Use Water in the Gila River System and Source, pending in the Maricopa County Superior Court. The Project is located within the geographic area subject to.the summons, and the rights of the Project participants, including the Authority, to the use of groundwater and effluent, at the Project is potentially at issue in this action, APS, as project manager for the Project, Bled claims challenging the jurisdiction of the court over the Project participants'roundwater rights and their contractual rights to effluent relating to the Project, and alternatively, seeking confirmation of such rights. No trial date has been set in the proceeding.
A number of the participants in the Project brought suit in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona seeking significant monetary damages for, breach of contract by Combustion Engineering Incorporated because of the failure of a backup water supply system, which needed to be redesigned, resulting in the delay of completion of the Project. Combustion Engineering Inc. has cross-complained for significant monetary damages. The case has not yet been set for trial. (Arizona Public Service Company, et al v. Combustion Engineering Inc.)
FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES The Internal Rev'enue Code of 1986, as amended ("the. Code" ), establishes certain requirements which must be met subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the 1989 Bonds for interest thereon to be and remain excluded from gross income for Federal income tax purposes. Noncompliance with such requirements could cause the interest on the 1989 Bonds to be included in gross income for Federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issue of the 1989 Bonds. These requirements include, but are not limited to, provisions which prescribe yield and other limits within which the pr'oceeds of the 1989 Bonds are to be invested and require, under certain circumstances, that certain investment earnings on the foregoing be rebated on a periodic basis to the Treasury Department of the United States of America. The Authority has covenanted in the Tenth Supplemental Indenture of Trust to comply with each applicable requirement of the Code necessary to maintain the exclusion of the interest on the I989 Bonds from gross income for Federal income tax purposes.
In the opinion of Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander 8r Ferdon, Bond Counsel, under existing law, interest on the 1989 Bonds is exempt from personal income taxes of the State of California and, assuming compliance with the aforementioned covenant, interest on the 1989 Bonds is excluded from gross income for Federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel is also of the opinion that the 1989 Bonds are not "specified private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 57(a) (5) of the Code and, therefore, interest on the 1989 Bonds will not be treated as a preference item for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code.

However, interest on the 1989 Bonds owned by corporations will be taken into account: (1) in determining the alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code on one-half (75 percent after 1989) of the excess of adjusted net book income (adjusted current earnings after 1989) over alternative minimum taxable income (determined without regard to this adjustment and the alterna-tive tax net operating loss deduction); (2) in calculating the environmental tax equal to 0.12 percent of a corporation's modified alternative minimum taxable income in excess of a certain amount (generally
$ 2 million) imposed by Section'59A of the Code; and (3) in determining the foreign branch profits tax imposed on the effectively connected earnings and profits (with adjustments) of United States branches of foreign corporations by Section 884 of the Code.
Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that the difference between the principal amount of the 1989 Bonds maturing on July 1 in each of the years 2000, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 (the "Discount 1989 Bonds" ) and the initial offering price to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers) at which price a substantial amount of such Discount 1989 Bonds of the same maturity was sold constitutes original issue discount which is excluded from gross income for Federal income tax purposes to the same extent as interest on the 1989 Bonds. Further,'uch original issue discount accrues actuarially on a constant interest rate basis over the term of each Discount 1989 Bond and the basis of each Discount 1989 Bond acquired at such initial offering price by an initial purchaser thereof will be increased by the amount of such accrued original issue discount.
Bond Counsel has not undertaken to advise in the future whether any events after the date of issuance of the 1989 Bonds may affect the tax status of interest on the 1989 Bonds.
Although Bond Counsel has rendered an opinion"that interest on the 1989 Bonds is excluded from gross income for Federal income tax purposes, a Bondholder's Federal tax liability may otherwise be affected by the ownership or disposition of the 1989 Bonds. The nature and extent of those other tax consequences will depend upon the Bondholder's other items of income or deduction. Bond Counsel has expressed no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences.
UNDERWRITING The Underwriters have jointly and severally agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the 1989 Bonds from the Authority at an aggregate Underwriters'iscount of $ 2,125,783.16 and to make a bona fide public offering of the 1989 Bonds at not in excess of public offering prices, plus accrued interest, agreed to by the Underwriters and the Authority. The Underwriters will be obligated to purchase all such 1989 Bonds if any such 1989 Bonds are purchased.
The 1989 Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including Underwriters and other dealers depositing such Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than such public offering prices, and such public offering prices may be changed, from time to time, by the Underwriters.
CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS Certain legal matters in connection with the authorization and issuance of the 1989 Bonds are subject to the approval of Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander R Ferdon, Los Angeles, California, Bond Counsel. The form of opinion Bond Counsel proposes to render with respect to the 1989 Bonds is attached as Appendix E hereto. Copies of such opinion will be provided to the original purchasers without charge. Certain legal matters with respect to the Authority will be passed upon by its special counsel, Rourke L Woodruff, a Professional Corporation, Orange, California. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriters by O'Melveny R Myers, Counsel to the Underwriters.

Consulting Engineer's Report Southern California Public Power Authority Palo Verde Project INTRODUCTION Presented herewith is a summary of our analyses and studies with respect to the proposal by the Southern California Public Power Authority (the "Authority") to issue $ 295,005,000 of its Power
~~
Project Revenue Bonds, 1989 Refunding Series A (the "1989 Bonds" ), to provide for advance refunding of out'standing Power Project Revenue Bonds of the Authority in the aggregate amo'unt of
$ 187,635,000 (the "Refunded Bonds" ) and to meet fnancing cost requirements. The Refunded Bonds were issued to Bnance (a) (i) a portion of the costs of acquisition, construction and placing into operation of the Authority's 5.91% ownership interest in the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2 and 3, including certain associated facilities and contractual rights, and (ii) the Authority's 5.56% ownership interest in the ANPP High Voltage Switchyard and contractual rights; and (b) the Authority's 6.55% share of the rights to use the Arizona Nuclear Power Project Valley Transmission System. The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2 and 3, including certain associated facilities and contractual rights and the ANPP High Voltage Switchyard and contractual rights are collectively referred to herein as the "Project." Additionally, the Arizona Nuclear Power Project Valley Transmission System is referred to herein as the "ANPP Transmission System.," The Authority's ownership interests in and rights to the Project and the ANPP Transmission System are referred to herein as the "Authority Interest."
Upon issuance of the 1989 Bonds, the Authority will have outstanding a total of $ 1,204,400,000 of its Power Project Revenue Bonds. Such Bonds include Power Project Revenue Bonds, 1982 Series A and B, 1983 Series A, 1984 Series A, 1985 Refunding Series A and B, 1986 Refunding Series A and B and 1987 Refunding Series A (the "Prior Series Bonds" ).

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAPUBLIC POWER AUTHORITY The Authority is organized pursuant,to the" provisions relating to the joint exercise of powers 0
found in the Government Code of California, as amended,'nd the Joint Powers Agreement, dated as of November 1, 1980, as amended. Its membership consists of 10 cities and one irrigation district which supply electric energy in southern California. The Authority is governed by its Board of Directors which consists of a representative of each of its members. The management of the Authority is under the direction of the Executive Director, who serves at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.
'f THE PROJECT AND ANPP TRANSMISSION SYSTEM The Project The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station consists of three nominal 1,270 MW nuclear generating units, each of which has commenced commercial operation. Arizona Public Service Company ("APS") has reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the "NRC") an adjustment to the design electrical rating of each of the units from 1,270 MW net to 1,221 MW net maximum dependable capacity to reflect the licensed reactor thermal power level. For purposes of this analysis, we have based the Authority Interest output on an assumed production capacity of 1,221 MW net from each of the three units. Based on this assumption, the Project presently has a net generating capacity of approximately 3,663 MW. Additionally, it is projected that by 1992 each unit will have achieved a mature plant factor and the Project will have an annual energy output of approximately 22,500,000 megawatt-hours ("MWh"). It is projected that the Authority Interest will be capable of delivering approximately 207.4 MW of capacity and, on average, 1,271,777 MWh of energy annually at the various points of delivery, after adjustment for transmission losses. The Project is located on a site of approximately 4,000 acres about 50 miles west of downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The three units are essentially identical in design and share certain common facilities, including a water reclamation plant, make-up water storage reservoir, two on-site wells, domestic water system, demineralize'd water system, sanitary. waste treatment facility, evaporation ponds, laundry, and decontamination facility, administration building, guardhouse, security facilities, service warehouse building, switchyard and miscellaneous buildings. Each unit is designed and licensed for a forty year operating life.
The nuclear steam supply system for each unit of the Project, supplied by Combustion Engineer-ing, Inc., is a closed-cycle pressurized water reactor system licensed at 3,817 megawatts of thermal capacity, with two reactor coolant loops, containing two reactor coolant pumps, in each loop. The turbine generators are tandem compound units supplied by the General Electric Company. The main condensers were supplied by the Westinghouse Electric Company and are cooled by circulating water through mechanical draft'cooling towers. Make-up water for the dissipat'ed circulating water is obtained primarily from the 91st Avenue Sewage Treatment Plant'operated by the City of Phoenix.
This processed effluent is piped to the on-site water reclamation plant where it undergoes "additional treatment and'is then stored in the on-site reservoir as make-up water. Blow-down from the circulating water system, demineralized water wastes, domestic water wastes, nonradio'active demineralizer regenerants and miscellaneous non'radioactive wastes are directed to the on-site evaporation ponds where they are completely evaporated. Thus, no off-site liquid discharges are required.
At design steam flow and condenser back pressure, the'output from the main turbine-generators is 1,304 MW. The main transformers will step up the output voltage of each generator to 525 kV for interconnection into the ANPP Transmission System.
ANPP High Voltage Switchyard and ANPP Transmission System The ANPP High Voltage Switchyard consists of a breaker-and-a-half scheme which comprises the termination facilities for the transmission lines, generator step-up transformers and auxiliaries, including, but not limited to, the high voltage busses, structures, power circuit breakers, disconnect switches, control building, switchyard auxiliary, protection systems and fencing.
A-2
The ANPP Transmission System consists of the facilities listed below, along with associated rights-of-way: i~
1 Palo Verde Westwing 525 kV Transmission Lines Nos. 1 and 2 Palo Verde Kyrene 525 kV Transmission Line Westwing 525 kV Switchyard expansion Kyrene 230 kV Switchyard expansion Second Kyrene 230 kV Switchyard Kyrene 525/230 kV Switchyard Microwave Communication System Construction of the major components of the ANPP Transmission System is complete and the system is operational.
Project Interests Pursuant to the Arizona Nuclear Power Project Participation Agreement, dated August 23, 1973, as amended (the "Participation Agreem'ent"), and the Salt River'-Authority Palo Verde Nuclear Generat-ing Station Assignment Agreement, dated as of August 14, 1981, as amended '(the "Assignment Agreement" ), the utilities listed in the table below are participants in the Project in the following percentages.

Under the Power Sales Contracts, the Project Participants are entitled to the generating capability of the Authority Interest based on their respective Project Entitlements, and the Project Participants are obligated to make payments therefor on a "take or pay" basis. For a further discussion by the Authority of the Power Sales Contracts, see the OfBicial Statement to which this report is attached (the "Official Statement" ) and "Summary of Certain Provisions of the Power Sales Contracts" in Appendix C thereto.
PROJECT OPERATION Operating Arrangements APS is the Project Manager and also operates the three Project units and the Westwing 525 kV Switchyard. The ANPP Transmission System, with the exception of the Westwing 525 kV Switchyard, is managed and operated by the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District ("Salt River Project" ).
Operating Experience The first refueling of Unit 1 was completed in March 1988. As the result of the occurrence of initial operating problems normally expected in a large, new generating facility, the performance of Unit 1 was approximately 51% as compared to the 60% capacity factor assumed by us in previous analyses for the first fuel cycle of commercial operation. For the first nine (9) months of the second fuel cycle, Unit 1 has achieved a 71.3% capacity factor.
The Brst refueling of Unit 2 was completed in June 1988. This unit performed well during its first fuel cycle. Specifically, it achieved approximately a 66% capacity factor, as compared with the 60%
capacity factor assumed by us in previous analyses for the first fuel cycle of commercial operation. For the first Bve (5) months of the second fuel cycle, Unit 2 has achieved a 94.2% capacity factor.
Unit 3 has been operating on a commercial basis for approximately twelve months. For this portion of the first fuel cycle Unit 3 has achieved approximately a 91.7% capacity factor.
The Department 'of Water and Power of The City of Los Angeles (the "Department" ), as the Authority's agent, has indicated APS has either solved or is developing solutions to the operational anomalies encountered by APS in Units 1, 2 and 3 during the Brst fuel cycles.
A-4
Operation and Maintenance We have reviewed the APS organizational structure which establishes the responsibilities and relationships for operation and maintenance of the Project. Included in our review were certain procedures and methodolo'gies for operation and maintenance, as well as the results of certain NRC assessments of APS'erformance in these functional areas.
The NRC, as part of its responsibilities, monitors'and evaluates all nuclear plant licensees with respect to operational performance. As part of this industry monitoring function, the NRC has authority to take regulatory action ranging from increased monitoring of selected aspects of a nuclear facility to precluding operations.
The NRC released its most recent Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance ("SALP")
Report for the Project on December 23, 1988. This SALP Report reflected the results of the NRC's periodic evaluation of the performance of the Project for the period November 1, 1987 through October 31, 1988. Although the SALP Report indicates that the overall performance of licensed activities at the Project is satisfactory and directed toward safe facility operation, such performance was considered to have declined when compared to the previous SALP assessment period. Based in part on "enforcement items" which are listed in the SALP Report, the NRC indicated that additional management attention must be given to specified functional areas. The NRC has proposed and APS has paid civil penalties of $ 350,000 for "enforcement items" identifled at the Project during the last year in the functional areas of operations and radiation protection. APS has indicated that it recognizes that it must improve its operational performance at the Project. It has developed plans for such improvement which the NRC has indicated it considers to be positive. APS has indicated that it has initiated such improvements.
Operating Statistics Operating results of Units 1, 2 and 3 are shown in the following table. Although these units have not been operating long enough for their operating statistics to be meaningful compared to industry averages for similar size units, such statistics do provide 'an indicatio'n'of how the units have performed when compared to similar units with more operating experience. While Unit 3 has experienced an above-average level of performance, Unit 3 is in its first year of commercial operation and has not experienced any maintenance outages or refueling. Based on historical experience of comparable generating units, it is not expected th'at Unit 3 will continue to achieve, over the long-term, the substantially above-average level of performance that has been demonstrated during its first fuel cycle of operation to date.

(9) Information is for 93 pressurized water reactor units larger than 1000MW as obtained from the Generating Availability Data Systems Report published by the North American Electric Reliability Council for thc period 1982-1986.
(3) The Plant Factor is the ratio of the net energy generated to the net capability of that unit times the hours in the period and reilects the unit availability, as well as the actual need for power produced by the unit. Nct energy generated is for the periods of firm power operation for each unit. For this application, Plant Factor is essentially equivalent to capacity factor.
(Footnotes continued on foliate!ng page)
A-5
(4) The Operating Availability is the ratio of hours in thc period that thc unit is capable of operating at some level to the number of hours in the period.
(5) The Equivalent Availability Factor provides 'an adjustment of the Operating" Availability by incorporating the efFect of deratings (losses in MW capability) and is essentially "equivalent to" the percentage of a period during which a unit was available for maximum net capability operation.
Permits, Licenses and Approvals Units.l, 2 and 3 have each received a 40-year Full-Power Operating License from the NRC. APS has stated that all necessary permits, licenses and approvals have been secured.
On or about November 28, 1986, Plains Electric Generation and Transmission Cooperative, Inc.
("Plains" ) Bled a request with the NRC for an antitrust hearing and for the imposition of conditions on the operating license for Unit 3. This petition was dismissed with prejudice by Plains as a result of a settlement agreement between Plains and EPE. No antitrust hearing was held. The jurisdiction of the NRC to conduct antitrust hearings with respect to the Project expired with the issuance of the Operating License for Unit 3.
Nuclear Fuel The nuclear fuel cycle consists of four basic activities necessary for the manufacture of fuel assemblies. These activities are acquisition of uranium concentrates, conversion of the uranium concentrates to uranium hexafluoride, enrichment of the uranium hexafluoride and fabrication of the enriched uranium into fuel assemblies. After the fuel has been used in the reactor, it is removed for reprocessing or disposal.
The following tabulation shows the approximate percentages of the required amounts of materials and services APS presently has under contract, including options, for the Project:
Uranium Conversion Enrichment Fabrication 1989. l00% '0% 100% 100%
1990-2000........;.... , 100% 100% 100%
'PS'is in the process of negotiating for additional conversion services and expects to contract for such required services well in advance of its needs.
APS expects to contract for the required conversion services beyond 2000 well in advance of its needs.
APS has been notified that, as of September 18, 1985, the U.S. District Court of Colorado ruled that the form of the utilities services enrichment contract used by the United States Department of Energy
("DOE") in its negotiations with utilities, including APS, is null and void. APS has a utilities services enrichment contract which is subject to this ruling. This contract obligates DOE to furnish the enrichment services required for operation of the Project over a term which expires in November 2014. The district court also held that DOE must restrict the enrichment of foreign uranium when failure to do so would jeopardize the viability of the domestic uranium industry. DOE appealed the decision and announced that it will continue to honor the contracts through the appeal process. On July 20, 1987, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit affirmed the district court's
, decision regarding the enrichment of foreign uranium, but remanded the case to the district court for a determination of whether the plaintiffs have standing to challenge the form of the utility servjces enrichment contract. Due to the unresolved standing issue, no decision was made as to the validity of the form of the utility services enrichment contract. The decision of the court. of appeals regarding, the enrichment of foreign uranium was appealed by DOE to the United States Supreme Court. On June 15, 1988, the Supreme Court reversed the decision of the court of appeals, holding that ifrestrictions upon the enrichment of foreign uranium would not render the domestic uranium industry viable, then DOE
. was not required to impose any such restrictions. The case was remanded for trial of issues respecting the determination of the viability of the domestic uranium industry. To the best of our information, the matter is still pending before the district court. Regardless of the outcome of the case, APS does not anticipate any difllculty in procuring enrichment services for the Project even ifthis ruling is upheld.
A-6
At the present time, no operating facilities'for the reprocessing of spent fuel are available. On October 8, 1981, the President of the United States released a policy statement lifting the ban previously placed on the commercial reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. The policy statement has not had any signi6cant impact on the-matters which it addressed and its future effects cannot be predicted at this time. On-site "spent fuel storage capacity for the Project is estimated by APS to be sufBcient to accommodate storage of all spent fuel into the 1990's and, by adding special materials to the spent fuel pool storage 'rack's, is estimated by APS to be sufBcient to accommodate storage of all spent fuel, including maintaining full core discharge capability, during approximately 20 years of normal opera-tion. This spent fuel storage capability could allow operation until 2005, 2006 and 2007 for Units 1', 2 and 3, respectively. On January 7, 1983, the President of the United States signed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. This Act establishes a national, program for spent fuel disposal which is to be further deQned and implemented over the next several years. DOE is responsible for the national program for spent fuel disposal and is obligated to accept and dispose of all spent nuclear fuel and other high-lovel radioactive wast'es generated by all domestic power reactors. Pursuant to this Act, the NRC also requires operators of nuclear power reactors to enter into spent fuel disposal contracts with DOE.
APS, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other participants in the Project, has executed a spent fuel disposal contract with DOE. This Act also obligates DOE to develop the facilities necessary for the disposal of all spent nuclear fuel generated and to be generated by domestic gower reactors and to have the erst such facility in operation by 1998, under prescribed conditions. In December 1987, Congress passed the National Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987 which substantially changed the previous Act by selecting a site in Nevada for initial characterization and authorizing a Monitored Retrievable Storage Facility. We are unable to predict the impact this legislation will have on the national program for spent fuel disposal, the extent to which the program will be implemented, and the extent to which either reprocessing or off-site storage services may be required or available.
Waste Management Enabling legislation to establish a low-level radioactive waste compact was enacted by California, Arizona and South Dakota in the Spring of 1988. The compact was submitted to Congress and was adopted in October 1988. Pursuant to the terms of the compact, the California Department of Health Services has selected a site, has completed the requisite environmental studies which call for certain mitigating measures to be taken and has contracted for development and operation of the disposal facility. The projected operational date of the disposal facility is late 1991.
During the last ten years, substantial federal, state and local legislation regarding management of various types of non-radioactive, yet hazardous waste has been enacted. Federal laws as set forth in acts such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and'the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and'iability Act, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, impose strict liability regardless of time or location on generators,.transporters, storers and disposers of hazardous waste for cleanup costs or damages resulting from releases or contamination. Many normal activities in connection with the generation and transmission of electric-ity generate both non-hazardous and hazardous non-radioactive wastes. APS and SRP report they have established hazardous waste management plans for the Project facilities each organization operates and maintains. Each organization has also established certain procedures for the disposal of hazardous, non-radioactive wastes generated by Project facilities for which each is responsible at duly regulated hazardous waste repositories. APS and SRP have indicated that each respective waste management program is in compliance with all federal, state and local statutes and guidelines. We have not independently reviewed either waste management program.

Thc NRC has issued its final rule entitled "General Requirements for Decommissioning Nuclear Facilitics" which became effective July 27, 1988. This rule amended NRC regulations to set forth technical and financial criteria for decommissioning licensed nuclear facilities including Palo Verde. The proposed amendments address decommissioning planning needs, timing, funding methods, anil environmental review requirements. The Authority believes that its provision for funding its ownership interest sharc of the funds required for decommissioning oF the Project meets the intent of the NRC's final rule.

Transmission of the Authority Interest Pursuant to the Transmission Agreement, dated as of August 14, 1981, as amended, between the Authority and Salt River Project (the "Transmission Agreement" ), the Authority has purchased the right to use 6.55% of the capability of the ANPP Transmission System which is being utilized by Salt River Project for delivery of power and energy associated with the Authority Interest, excluding the Project Entitlement of Imperial Irrigation District (the "District"). The Authority has purchased from Salt River Project an undivided ownership interest in the entire ANPP High Voltage Switchyard. The output of the Authority Interest, with the exception of the District's Project Entitlement, is being received by Salt River Project at the transmission side of the high voltage bus of the ANPP High Voltage Switchyard. Salt River Project is making available to the Authority an equivalent amount of power and energy at a combination of the Navajo, Switchyard, the Eldorado Substation or the Mead Substation (the "Project Interconnection Point" ). The Navajo Switchyard is located at the Navajo Generating Station in northern Arizona. The Eldorado and Mead substations are located at the southern tip of Nevada, south of Lake Mead, near the Mohave Generating Station.
The Department is transmitting its Project Entitlement from the Project Interconnection Point utilizing its own transmission system.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Transmission Service Agreements between the Department and the other Project Participants, with the exception of the District (the "Transmission Service Agreements" ), the Department is providing transmission service for each such Project Participant's Project Entitlement between the Proje'ct Interconnection Point and the Project Participant's Points of Interconnection. These Transmission Service Agreements extend for an inde6nite period, subject to termination by the Department on ten years prior notice upon a Bnding by the Department that surplus capacity for such transmission will not be available. The Point of Interconnection for the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena is the point where the Department's Victorville-McCullough transmission line connects to the 525 kV bus at the McCullough Switching Station ("Point of Interconnection A"). The Point of Interconnection for the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton is either the point where the Department's McCul-lough-Eldorado transmission line connects to the 525 kV bus at the Eldorado Substation ("Point of Interconnection B") or the midpoint of the Victorville-Lugo transmission line where the Department's and Southern California Edison Company's ("Edison" ) electric systems interconnect ("Point of Interconnection C".). For purposes of this analysis, we have assumed that the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and. Colton each continue to designate Point of Interconnection C as the point of delivery.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the McCullough-Victorville Line 2 Transmission Agree-ment between the Department and the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena (the "McCullough-Victorville Line 2 Transmission Agreement" ), the Victorville to Receiving Station E Transmission Service Agreements between the Department and the cities of Burbank and" Glendale and the Victorville to Sylmar Switching Station Transmission'Service Agreement between the Department and the City of Pasadena, the Department is providing transmission service to the points of interconnec-tion with the cities'lectric systems for the cities of Burbank and Glendale, or to an interconnection point with Edison's electric system for the City of Pasadena. Pursuant to the 230 kV Interconnection and Transmission Agreement between the City of Pasadena and Edison, as amended, Edison is providing transmission service from the Sylmar Switching Station to the City of Pasadena's electric system through 2010.
The cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton.have each signed an Integrated Operations Agreement and a Supplemental Agreement for the'integration of their separate Project Entitlements of the Authority Interest (the "Supplemental Agreements" ) with Edison which provide, among other things, that Edison will continue to supply the cities'ower and energy requirements, over and above the capability of the cities'roject Entitlements and any other city-owned resource and will credit the cities on their monthly billing statements for the power and energy generated by V
A-ll
such resources that are integrated with Edison's resources. The Supplemental Agreements provide that these cities'roject Entitlements are included as an integrated resource pursuant to each City' respective Integrated Operations Agreement.
The cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton have signed Transmission Service Agreements with Edison. Pursuant to these Transmission Service Agreements, Edison is providing transmission service for these cities from Point of Interconnection C to the respective cities'lectric systems.
The District has acquired an ownership interest in the Palo Verde to Imperial Valley portion of the APS/San Diego Gas R Electric Company ("SDG&E") 525 kV Interconnection Project (the "South-west Powerlink"). The District is transmitting its Project Entitlement from the high voltage bus of the ANPP High Voltage Switchyard to the District system at the Imperial Valley Substation over its ownership entitlement in the Southwest Powerlink.
The Authority, Salt River Project, M-S-R Public Power Agency and the Western Area Power Administration ("Western" ) are studying the feasibility of constructing, owning and operating new electrical transmission facilities connecting the Phoenix, Arizona area with southern Nevada and southern California. For a discussion of this topic, see the paragraph entitled "Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project" under the caption "Future Power Supply Resources Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project." These proposed facilities are not required for transmission of the Authority Interest, but would allow Authority members to operate more efBciently. In the event that the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie is constructed, pursuant to the Transmission Agreement, Salt River Project will transmit, as necessary, the Authority Interest power and energy, with the exception of the District's Project Entitlement, to the Authority at the Project Interconnection Point. The effects of these proposed facilities have not been included in our analysis.
The Department, the District and the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Azusa, Banning and Colton along with Edison, as project manager, have undertaken studies to explore the feasibility of constructing a 500 kV AC transmission line. This proposed Devers-Palo Verde ¹2 transmission line, if built, will parallel the existing Devers-Palo Verde ¹1 transmission line from the Project to Edison's Devers Substation, which is located west of Desert Hot Springs, California. The Project Participants'articipation rights in the proposed Devers-Palo Verde ¹2 transmission line total 36.8%. Edison has scheduled this project for completion in 1993. On December 8, 1988, the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") granted Edison a Certilicate of Public Convenience and Necessity for this project. In its decision, the CPUC reserves the right to reevaluate its approval ifthe proposed Edison SDGRE merger (CPUC Application 8-12-035; FERC Docket No. EC 89-5-000) is consummated or is still pending as of January 1, 1990. The decision notes that there may be no economic beneBt'from the line for Edison ratepayers if the merger is completed. Pursuant to an agreement with Edison, the Department has the right to construct this transmission line ifEdison fails to commence construction before July 1, 1989. It is not clear what effect, if any, the above-described developments will have on the construction of this transmission line or the participation of the above-mentioned utilities.
POWER SUPPLY PLANNING The Authority and the Project Participants have ongoing programs to investigate other power supply resources and transmission capability. In addition to the Authority Interest and other resources mentioned in the following paragraphs, certain of the Project Participants are interested in varying degrees in certain hydroelectric and geothermal projects in California and other generating facilities which may be available to them.
Intermountain Power Project In 1977, several Utah municipalities organized the Intermountain Power Agency ("IPA"), a political subdivision of the State of Utah. The purpose of IPA is to provide for the financing, constructing and operating of the Intermountain Power Project ("IPP").
In 1980, the Department and the cities of Anaheim, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena and Riverside (the "California IPP Purchasers" ) each entered into a power sales contract with IPA which obligates each such Purchaser to purchase, on a "take or pay" basis, a percentage share of IPP capacity and energy. The Department and the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena also entered into, an Excess Power Sales Agreement, also on a "take or pay" basis, with the Utah municipal and cooperative IPP purchasers, pursuant to which IPP generation entitlement projected to be surplus to such Utah purchasers'eeds will be made available to the Department and the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena.
In early 1983, each IPP Purchaser entered into amendments to its power sales contract and the Excess Power Sales Agreement. All California IPP Purchasers except Glendale also entered into Lay-off Power Purchase Contracts (the "Lay-off Contracts" ) with IPA and Utah Power R Light Company
("UPitrL"), which has recently merged with, and is a division of, PacifiCorp, through which UPRL assigned portions of its entitlement to IPP capacity and energy to such Purchasers.
The IPP generation entitlement of eacli of the California IPP Purchasers resulting from the power sales contracts, as amended, and the Layoff Contracts is shown in the following table:

The amounts of generating capability that will be available pursuant to the Excess Power Sales Agreement, as amended, will vary in accordance with the provisions'f that Agreement.
Presently, and through March 24, 1999, according to the most recent forecasts furnished pursuant to the terms of the Excess Power Sales Agreement, as amended, the quantities of capacity and energy that will be available at the.Adelanto point of delivery are approximately 328 MW and, assuming a 70%
plant factor, approximately 2,011,296 MWh annually.
IPP consists of the following: (a) a two unit, 1,600 MW'net coal-fired, steam-electric generation station located near Lynndyl, Utah; (b) a +500 kV DC transmission line ("HVDC transmission line" )
from the generation station to Adelanto, California with an AC/DC converter station at each end (the "Southern Transmission System" ); and (c) two 345 kV AC transmission lines from the generation station'to a switchyard near Mona, Utah and a 230 kV AC transmission line from the generation station to a switchyard near Ely, Nevada.
r A portion of the funds required for IPP construction is being provided by IPA with the remainder being provided by the Authority as payments-in-aid of construction with respect to the Southern Transmission System. IPA has outstanding approximately $ 6,954,682,000 par amount of bonds, includ-ing $ 1,634,995,000 of special obligation bonds and special obligation refunding bonds which together with the payments-in-aid of construction with respect to the Southern Transmission System provided A-13
by the Authority have allowed IPA to construct and place IPP in service. The amount of IPA's outstanding debt is expected to be reduced on July 1, 1995 by 81,532,110,000 when the special obligation bonds and special obligation refunding bonds are expected to be used to effect the redemption of certain of IPA's outstanding bonds and will thereby reduce IPA's annual debt service.
IPA will continue to review the options that are available to it to reduce its annual debt service and may undertake additio'nal refundings. For a discussion of the Southern Transmission System, including the total financing requirements for the Authority's payments-in-aid of construction, see the caption "Future Power Supply Resources Southern Transmission System".
The first IPP generating unit was declared available for commercial operation in June 1986, the second unit in May 1987.
Despite the occurrence of operating problems normally expected in a new generating facility and certain abnormal conditions, IPP has to date operated with"'a high degree of availability. The Department and the Intermountain Power Service Corporation have either solved or are working on solutions to the problems encountered. 1 I Southern Transmission System The Southern Transmission System'consists of the AC/DC Intermountain Converter Station adjacent to the IPP AC switchyard, the HVDC transmission line, 488 miles in length, from the Intermountain Converter Station to the City of Adelanto, California, and the AC/DC Adelanto Converter Station at that point where it connects to the Department's transmission system. The HVDC transmission line is designed to have the capability of transmitting capacity in excess of the capacity of IPP anticipated to be delivered to the California IPP Purchasers. The AC/DC converter stations have a rating of 1,920 MW. These facilities are in service.
IPA and the Authority have entered into the Southern Transmission System Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1983. The Southern Transmission System Agreement provides for, among other things, the financing and making payments-in-aid of construction by the Authority with respect to the Southern Transmission System.-Pursuant to the Southern Transmission System Agreement, the Authority will make such payments to IPA, and IPA will apply these payments to pay costs of the Southern Transmission System. The Authority has issued and has outstanding 81,147,130,000 principal amount of its bonds, including refunding bonds, to finance the making of payments-in-aid of construction with respect to the Southern Transmission System. The Authority anticipates that, other tlian any additional refundings it'might authorize, the borrowing required for the Southern Transmission System has been completed.
Hoover Power Plant In 1985, in accordance with the Hoover Power Plant Act'of 1984, Western allocated 127 MW of cayacity and approximately 143,000 megawatt-hours ("MWh") of associated energy from the Hoover uprating program to the cities of Anaheim, Azusa, Banning, Burbank, Colton, Glendale, Pasadena, Riverside and Vernon. The cities entered into contracts with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (the "Bureau".) and Western which provide for advancement of funds by the cities to the Bureau and the purchase of, power from the Hoover uprating program, respectively. In 1986, Anaheim, Riverside, Burbank, Azusa, Colton and Banning (the "Hoover Participants" ) assigned to the Authority their entitlement to the Hoover uprating program capacity and associated energy in return for the Authority's agreement to advance funds to the Bureau for the Hoover uprating program. The Authority has issued $ 34,435,000 of its Hydroelectric Power Project Revenue Bonds, the proceeds of which are projected to be sufBcient for this purpose. The Authority's proportionate share of the total capacity of the Hoover uprating project is expected to be approximately 94 MW (Contingent Capacity), and associated Brm ener'gy. The Hoover Participants and the Authority liave executed power sales contracts, under which the Hoover Participants are entitled to'their shares of the Authority's proportionate share of Hoover capacity and associated energy as they become available (the "Hoover Entitlements"), and have agreed to make monthly payments on a "take or pay" basis.
Western began making the Hoover Entitlements available at the Mead Substation on June 1, 1987. The Hoover Participants each have obtained the necessary transmission service from the Mead Substation to their respective electric systems.
Western has initiated the procedure to adjust the rates for Hoover. A final determination of the level of such rate adjustment and the effective date have yet to be made. To the extent that Hoover rates are increased, they will be offset by repayment to the participants of construction costs contributions. For the purposes of this report, we have not included any such rate increase in our analysis.
White Pine Power Project Certain of the Project Participants, apart from the Authority and together with other public and private utilities in California and Nevada, have conducted studies to establish the feasibility of and proceed with the licensing activities necessary for constructing a coal-fired generating station near Ely, Nevada. This generating station would have a capability of approximately 1,500 MW. It is contemplated that White Pine County would own all, or a major portion of, and finance this project through bonds issued by White Pine County which would be secured by power sales contracts entered into with the various purchasers of power from the project. The Project Participants'ombined entitlement percentage share for feasibility studies is approximately 47.36%. The participants in the White Pine Power Project entered into power supply development agreements with White Pine County in the fall of 1980 for the purpose of conducting a study to determine the feasibility of constructing and operating the project. White Pine County has issued notes in the principal amount of $ 19,929,000 for such purposes, all but $ 500,000 principal amount of which have been prepaid. The remaining $ 500,000 note matures December 31, 1992 and is payable from the proceeds of long-term bonds to be issued by the County or from payments by the participants under such agreements on the basis of entitlement shares.. The projected commercial operation date for the two 750 MW generating units, if built, is in the mid 1990's. For a further discussion by the Department of the White Pine'Power Project, see "The Department of Water and Power of The City of Los Angeles Power System Generation Resource Additions .White'inePower Project" in Appendix B to the OfFicial Statement.
Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project The Authority has executed agreements pursuant to which the Authority, Salt River Project, M-S-R Public Power Agency, and Western are studying the feasibility of constructing, owning and operating the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project. The Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project is a proposed 2500 kV DC transmission line, with AC/DC converter stations at each end, to be constructed between Mead Substation near Boulder City, Nevada and the Phoenix, Arizona area. The Authority has issued notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $ 14.1 million, of which approximately $ 14 million has been prepaid, to finance the costs of such study. The remaining $ 100,000 note matures on December 1, 1991 and is payable from the proceeds of long-term bonds to be issued by the Authority for the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project or from payments by the participants under project development agreements, on the basis of. project entitlement'hares. It is currently planned that the transmission line would have a capacity of 2,200 MW and that the converter stations would be built with an initial capacity of 1,600 MW. The initial converter station capacity could be upgraded to the transmission line capacity should this become desirable. If the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project is undertaken, the Authority would finance its 93.75% interest from the proceeds of long-term bonds secured by payments to be made by the participants under transmission service contracts. The Project Participants'ntitlement shares of this interest total approximately 53.1%. It is projected that this facility, ifbuilt, would be in service in the mid 1990's. For a.further discussion by the Authority of the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project, see'Southern California Public Power Authority Other Activi-ties of the Authority" in the Official Statement.
Mead-Adelanto Transmission Project In connection with the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project, certain members of the Authority, Salt River Project, M-S-R Public Power Agency, and Western are studying the feasibility and estimated costs of the construction and operation of a new ~ 500 kV DC transmission line from the Mead Substation near Boulder City, Nevada to the vicinity of Adelanto, California, a distance of approxi-mately 215 miles. The proposed participants anticipate that, ifconstructed, the transmission line could be put into service within the same time frame as the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project. It has not been determined what, if any; role the Authority will have in the financing or construction of this transmission line project; however, the participants notified the Authority by resolution that if this project is constructed, certain participants, if not all, will request the Authority to finance on their behalf.
California-Oregon Transmission Project The cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton executed a Memorandum of Understanding, dated as of December 19, 1984, which authorizes these cities, along with other utilities and governmental agencies located in California, to study the construction of the California-Oregon Transmission Project. Such Project relates'to possible alternative methods of developing additional 500 kV AC transmission facilities between California and the Pacific Northwest. The participants have executed a project development agreement pursuant to which they will study the feasibility of constructing and operating the California-Oregon Transmission Project. It has not been determined what role, if any, the Authority will have in this transmission line project.
The Sylmar Expansion Project The Department and the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena are participants in the Sylmar Expansion Project ("SEP") which is an 1,100 MW'expansion of the terminal capacity at the existing AC/DC converter station which is located at Sylmar, California. This project will increase the capacity of the Pacific Northwest-Southwest DC Intertie ("Intertie" ) from 2,000 MW to 3,100 MW. The Department is the project manager for the southern terminal of the Intertie and is responsible for the construction of the SEP. The Bonneville Power Administration ("BPA") is the project manager for the northern terminal and is responsible for a similar expansion at the northern converter station of the Intertie in Oregon. The Department projects that the cost of the SEP will be 8171,000,000 and that the SEP will be completed in February 1989. Each participant is providing its own funding for its share of the SEP.
Utah-Nevada Transmission Project Members of the Authority, together with several electric utilities providing service in Utah and Nevada, are considering constructing, owning and operating an electric transmission project to. include facilities to be located in Utah and Nevada. This project, ifundertaken and built, would be in operation in the mid-1990's. It is anticipated that, to the extent its members participate in, and the Authority undertakes, this project, the Authority will own and finance a portion of the project on behalf of its participating members, who would purchase transmission service or capability of the project from the Authority.
Certain Matters Relating to Power Supply Planning Edison has filed applications with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Docket No. EC 89-5-000) and the California Public Utilities Commission (Application No. 88-12-035) seeking approval of a proposed merger with SDG&E in accordance with a November 30, 1988, Agreement and Plan of Reorganization among SCE Corp., Edison and SDGRE (the "Merger Agreement" ). The merger is to be effective upon the closing of certain transactions described in the Merger Agreement and regulatory approval. Members of the Authority have intervened or may intervene in these proceed-ings. We have not analyzed what impact, ifany, the proposed merger will have on Edison's operations or its wholesale electric rates.
THE PROJECT PARTICIPANTS Historical Operations of Project Participants During the Bscal year period 1984 through 1988, average number of customers, peak demand, energy requirements and operating revenues have increased for all Project Participants, with the exception of the City of Vernon.

Power Requirements As a group and individually, th'e Project Participants'eak load forecasts and energy requirements for the period 1989 through 1993 show a lower rate of growth than that experienced during the 1984 to 1988 period, with the exception of the City of Riverside's projection of peak load growth. Abnormally high temperatures in September 1984 resulted in record peak demand for most of the Project Participants. The load forecasts, as developed by these Project Participants, were prepared considering, among other things, a stable economy, price elasticity, normal temperatu'res and ongoing conservation elforts. Each such Project Participant anticipates growth in loads over the next twenty years.

Utilization of Project Entitlement The Project is being operated by APS as a base load resource and all of the Project Participants are utilizing, and expect to continue to utilize, their respective Project Entitlements as a base load resource. Based on the Project Participants'oad requirements and the variable cost of power from the Authority Interest, as compared to other alternatives available to meet the Project Participants'oad requirements, the Authority Interest has been utilized by the Project Participants as a base load resource since commercial operation of each of the three units. It is anticipated that the variable cost of power from the Authority Interest will, in the future, maintain its same relative position to the
variable cost of power from alternative resources which are now available to the Project Participants and that the Project Participants will continue to schedule the maximum amount of production available from their respective Project Entitlements.
The existing power supplies for the Project Participants consist of owned generation and firm and non-Brm purchases from other utilities. Although the Authority Interest provides a source of firm capacity and energy to assist in meeting load growth, it is more important to the Project. Participants as a source of energy which can be produced from fuel sources other than oil and natural gas.
The Department desires to substantially reduce its dependence on oil and gas. The Department's long-term projections indicate that oil and natural gas prices will return to an increasing trend. Based on the Department's current price of approximately $ 18.64 per barrel of oil and the current efllciency of the Department's plants, which produce about 575 kWh per barrel of oil, the present unit fuel oil cost is approximately 32.4 mills per kWh.
The Department's Project Entitlement and other currently planned resources will assist in reducing 'its dependence on oil- and gas-fired generation by at least 50% from the 1974 through'1978 levels. Similarly, their respective Project Entitlements will allow the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena to reduce their dependence upon oil and gas for generation. Based on the projected price levels of oil and natural gas, it is economically attractive, in the long term, for these Project Participants to replace the energy from those sources with energy from the Authority Interest.
The present power supply con6guration for each of the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton consists of their respective Project Entitlements in Units 1, 2 and 3, their respective Hoover Entitlements, short-term firm purchases and purchases of interruptible energy from other public and private utilities and governmental agencies when it is available at an economically attractive price. In addition to these sources of supply, the City of Riverside receives power and energy from an ownership interest in the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 ("San Onofre"), a project entitlement in IPP Units 1 and 2 and an intermediate power purchase from Deseret Generation R Transmission Co-operative (Deseret"). The City of Vernon also utilizes its diesel generators and a gas turbine to meet a portion of its total power and energy requirements. All remaining power and energy requirements for the five cities are purchased from Edison at wholesale rates. Edison is substantially dependent upon gas and oil as fuels for its generating resources. Based on these projected wholesale power and energy rates for Edison, we believe that it will be economically attractive, over the long term, for these Project Participants to replace wholesale purchases of energy from Edison with energy from the Authority Interest.
In calendar 'year 1988, the District produced or purchased approximately 27% of its energy requirements from oil- and gas-fired generation and produced or purchased approximately 24% from hydroelectric sources. The remaining energy requirements are obtained from the Authority, purchases from the system resources of EPE and from purchases of economy energy. It is estimated that the District's Project Entitlement, together with the District owned resources and other purchases, will allow the District to meet its projected electric power and energy requirements through fiscal year 1995.
The Department of Water and Power of The City of Los Angeles The Department, the largest municipal utility in the United States, is a separate proprietary agency of The City of Los Angeles, controlling its own funds and with full responsibility for meeting the water and electric requirements of The City of Los Angeles. It provides water and electricity services almost entirely within the boundaries of The City of Los Angeles, which encompasses some 465 square miles, to a population of approximately 3.4 million.
Administration of the Department is under the direction of a five-member Board of Water and Power Commissioners. The Board of Water and Power Commissioners lixes the Department's electric rates, subject to the approval of the City Council, by ordinance. The Department's rates are not
regulated by any California state agency and are not subject to approval by any Federal agency, but the Department is subject'to certain ratemaking provisions of the Federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.
The Department's maximum netourly peak demand, 4,991 MW, occurred in September 1988.
The power supply of the Department consists primarily of its own generating resources, part'of which are located within the Los Angeles Basin, and its 491 MW entitlement from the Hoover Power Plant.
As of December 31, 1988 the Department had a net dependable system capability of over 7,200 MW, which is owned or operated generation. Steam electric generating capability was equal to 73% of the system's total net capability, and owned or operated hydroelectric generating capacity account for 20%
of such capability,. Purchases are made on a day to day or week to week basis that will alter these percentages. The Department estit7tates that its capital expenditures for power generating and distribution facilities for the Ave-year period which began July 1, 1988 will total approximately $ 1.7 billion.
The Department had an ownership interest in the Coronado coal-fired project in the amount of 210 MW. This ownership interest was exchanged for a 5.7% ownership interest in the Project on
, January 29, 1986. The Department has entered into contracts to purchase 44.617% of IPP capacity and energy. The Department has contracted to purchase 59.534% of the transmission capacity of the Southern Transmission System. The Department has a 39.117% feasibility study participation percent-age in the White Pine Power Project. The Department has a 40% ownership interest in the SEP.

Imperial Irrigation District The District is a publicly-owned water and power utility located in southern California. The gross area served by the District is approximately 6,400 square miles in Imperial County and the Coachella Valley of Riverside County. The power supply of the District consists of hydroelectric units on the All-American Canal and oil- and gas-Bred generating facilities, as well as purchases of capacity and energy from other sources. In the twelve months ended December 31, 1988, the District experienced a peak demand of approximately 455.0 MW, generated 781,371 MWh and purchased 1,127,202 MWh.
Administration of the District is under the direction of a five-member Board of Directors. Electric rates are set by the Board of Directors after a series of public hearings and presentations to the city councils of the'ities located within the District's service area. The District's electric rates are not subject to regulation by. any California state agency and are not subject'to approval by any Federal agency, but the District is subject to certain rate making provisions of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.

Based on the projection of power costs from the District's Project Entitlement and on certain data supplied by the District and others, we have prepared a projection of operating results of the District's electric system for the twelve-month periods ending June 30, 1989 through 1993. In these projections, we show additional revenues to be obtained beyond those generated by the District's average charges for the calendar year 1987. We estimate an additional average annual increase in revenue requirements for the period 1989 through 1993 of approximately 3.4%. These additional revenues are projected to be obtained from the energy cost adjustment features of the existing rate structure associated with increases in the cost of purchased and generated energy.
The District is constructing major additions and improvements to its transmission system. A major portion of such additions and improvements will be used to transmit power for others which is expected to be available from existing and proposed geothermal and biomass generating plants in the District's service area. These geothermal and biomass generating plants, and the power output thereof, are to be owned by others. The District presently plans to finance, from its system revenues, the A-23
portion of the transmission additions and improvements required to meet its load. The funds required for the construction of major transmission additions required to provide transmission service for others are being advanced by such parties. These advanced funds will be returned during the first eight to Bfteen years of such service in anriual amounts which will not exceed each parties'espective annual transmission service charges.

("IOA"),which each city has executed w'ith Edison. Each IOA provides, among other things, that the requirements of each city's electric system will be met by generating resources in which each such city has a contractual ownership interest and, to the extent required, by wholesale purchases from Edison.
At this time the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton receive power and energy from their respective Project Entitlements in Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 3, Hoover Entitlements and short-term firm purchases and purchase interruptible energy from other utilities and governmental agencies when it is available at an economically attractive price and transmission is available. In addition, the City of Riverside has a 1.79% ownership interest, approximately 38.49 MW, in San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 ("San Onofre"). Unit 2 commenced commercial operation in October 1983 and Unit 3 commenced commercial operation in April 1984. The City of Riverside also
, has a 7.617% generation entitlement share in IPP (121.87 MW). The City of Riverside has entered into a power sales agreement with Deseret pursuant to which the City of Riverside has agreed to purchase 46.69 MW, plus losses which are to be determined between IPP and the Mona 345-kV bus, of firm capacity and associated energy. Riverside's contract also provides Deseret with first rights to supply the City of Riverside with certain economy and replacement energy. The capacity and energy from Deseret is currently available although it has not been integrated with Edison and is not subject to pr'ovisions of the IOA. The Cityof Vernon receives power and energy from its diesel units and a recently installed gas turbine. All remaining power and energy requirements for each of the five cities are purchased from Edison at wholesale rates.
The City of Banning has issued $ 2,570,000 of Certificates of Participation to fund a hydroelectric generating project which is anticipated to generate approximately 829 kW and 5,280 MWh annually.
Additionally, the City of Vernon has issued $ 125,000,000 of Electric System Revenue Bonds to fund such City's Bear Butte hydroelectric, pumped storage project which is anticipated by the City to generate approximately 120 MW of peaking capacity and 205,500 MWh and 161,100 MWh annually during the high and low water years, respectively. The City further anticipates utilizing approximately 42 MW to meet a portion of its electric load with the balance'of the project power sold to one or more publicly owned utilities. The proje'ct is presently in the design and engineering phase and is anticipated by the City to be in commercial operation during 1997.
As discussed previously, the City of Riverside has a 1.79% ownership interest in San Onofre. The cities of Riverside, Azusa, Banning and Colton have contracted to purchase from the Authority 3.0%,
4.0%, 2.0%, and 3.0%, respectively, of the Contingent Capacity and associated firm energy from the Authority Interest in the Hoover uprating project. The City of Riverside has contracted to purchase 7.617% of IPP capacity and energy. Riverside has a feasibility study participation percentage in White Pine Power Project. We have assumed herein that the City of Riverside's power and energy requirements above those produced by its Project Entitlement, its ownership interest in San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3, IPP purchases, its Hoover uprating project entitlement, Deseret power purchases and short-term firm purchases will be met by purchases from Edison through the IOA; We have further assumed herein that Vernon's, Azusa's; Colton's and Banning's power and energy requirements, above those produced by their respective Project Entitlements, Hoover uprating project entitlements and short-term firm and seasonal purchases, the City of Vernon's diesel genera-"
tors and gas turbine unit and the'ity of, Banning's hydroelectric generating project, will be met by purchases from Edison through their respective IOAs.
In addition to the cities'ntegrated resources and other resources, the cities have each executed contracts and agreements with other utilities for short term or seasonal capacity and energy. The combined capability of these purchases is approximately 227 MW and will be used. to reduce capacity A-25
and energy purchases from Edison. These purchases will not he integrated with Edison and therefore will not be subject to the provisions of their respective IOAs. Due to the large percentage of integrated resources and contract purchases relative to the cities'otal requirements, the recent levels of purchases from Edison have decreased signiBcantly from the levels experienced in the early 1980s.
The following table summarizes the fiscal year historical peak loads and resources for the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton and the projected future peak loads and resources through 1993. The projected future peak loads and resources were provided by each of the respective cities.

We have projected the costs of power to the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colt'on for the period 1989 through 1993 assuming that these cities would purchase from Edison all power'requirements not supplied from their respective Project Entitlements, Hoover uprating project entitlements "and known short-term firm or seasonal purchases, with the exception of the cities of Riverside, Vernon and Banning. For the City of Riverside, we have included its ownership share of San Onofre, its entitlement from IPP and the capability of the Deseret Power Purchase. For the cities of Vernon and Banning we have included the respective production of Vernon's diesel generators and gas turbine unit and Banning's hydroelectric generating project. In accordance with their Integrated Operations Agreements, these cities will purchase power from Edison at Edison's partial requirements rates. In addition, with the exception of the Hoover uprating project entitlements, when a City Capacity Resource, such as its Project Entitlement, is not available, the cities shall purchase energy from some other source or purchase Contract Energy from Edison in the amount of energy capability associated with the'capacity credit, less energy received from City Integrated Resources. For purposes of this report, we have assumed that all Cont'ract Energy requirements'are purchased from Edison, with the exception of the Western energy credits related to the Hoover uprating project which may be scheduled to supply a portion of these requirements and certain amounts available from short-term firm purchases.
Projected wholesale power and energy rates for Edison are based on historical results of Edison operations, recent rate filings, and Edison's electric system resource plans and load forecasts. Edison resource plans which we have used in forecasting its wholesale rates include participation by some of its wholesale customers in the California-Oregon Transmission Project, as previously discussed under "Future Power Supply Resources". Inclusion of this potential participation by Edison's wholesale customers in either project does n'ot have a substantial impact on the projection of Edison's power and energy rates. I, Oil and gas prices have a direct impact on Edison rates. The oil price level used in the analyses of future Edison rates is based on an average cost of $ 18.54 per barrel in 1988 increasing at 4.2% per year through 1990 and at 5.7% per year after 1990. The natural gas price level is based on an average cost of
$ 3.04 per million BTU in 1988 increasing at 4.2% per year through 1990 and at 5.7% per year after 1990.
On January 13, 1986 and again on June 5, 1987, the Cities signed settlement agreements California Edison Company which provided for changes in the wholesale partial require-with'outhern ments rates applicable to purchases by the Cities. The first settlement, Docket ER86-271, provided for a 1.9% increase over prior rates in effect, and was in effect from March 7, 1986 until May 31, 1987. On June 1, 1987, the second settlement rates, Docket ER87-483, went into effect and continue to be the rates in effect, at the present time, Docket ER87-483 provided for a rate decrease of 8.9% from the Docket 86-271 rates Both settlements contained a provision for adjusting wholesale rates for the effects of the 1986 Tax Reform Act ("TRA"). Docket ER87-365 was established to adjust the Docket ER86-271 rates for the TRA. The Cities and Edison reached a settlement on August 26, 1988 with respect to the rate reduction required by the TRA which resulted in refunds of approximately $ 1,100,000 to the cities of Riverside, Azusa, Banning and Colton for service from March 1986 through May 1987 and March 1986 through June 1988 for the city of Vernon. These refunds are in addition to the partial refunds Edison paid in December 1987 of $ 1,156,000 associated with TRA changes. The TRA adjustment to Docket ER87-483 rates has not yet been prepared by Edison.
In projecting Edison rates, we have supplemented recent Edison filings and principles reached in the settlement agreements with the following assumptions: (1) FERC will allow Edison a 13.0% rate of
return on common equity for 1988 through 1989 and 13.5% in 1990 and thereafter; (2) the basic rate of annual inflation will be approximately 4.2% per year; (3) annual escalation for coal will be 5.7% per year; (4) operating expenses will escalate at 4.2% per year; and (5) the costs of construction will generally escalate at 5.2% per year. The forecast of Edison wholesale power costs results in estimated wholesale demand charges to Anaheim and Riverside which are essentially unchanged through 1993 and estimated wholesale energy charges which increase at an average rate of 3.7% per year through 1993. Such power cost increase projections include the effect of the declining load factor on the purchases to be made from Edison for, the Cities of Anaheim and Riverside resulting from the addition of owned resources.
In November 1987, FERC issued an opinion and order in Edison's 1982 rate case. Corrections to Edison's 1982 rate case indicated in the final opinion and order may result in refunds of approximately
$ 72.8 million, including interest through December 31, 1988, to the five cities for the periods from June 1982 through May 1984 when the 1982 rates were in effect. Edison has filed for a rehearing and FERC has yet to rule on such filing. Depending upon FERC's ruling and/or rehearing, the amount and timing of any such refund will be determined. We have not included any prospective refund resulting from the 1982 rate case in our analysis. For further information, please see discussion later in this section.
In November 1986, a FERC Administrative Law Judge issued an Initial Decision in Edison's 1984 rate case. Corrections to Edison's 1984 rate case indicated in the Initial Decision may result in refunds of approximately $ 32.6 million for the period from June 1984 through March 1986 when the 1984 rates were in effect. This Initial Decision is also under review by the FERC and the FERC has not yet issued a final order.
The Contract Energy cost is determined by multiplying Edison's cost of fuel for conventional oil-fired combustion turbine and combined-cycle generating resources measured in dollars'er million BTV by the weighted heat rate of these generating resources measured in BTV per kilowatt-hour. This rate, plus a charge for certain other costs associated with fuel, is then adjusted for transmission losses to the cities'oints of delivery. The cities have indicated that recent operations have required small amounts of Contract Energy at or below this cost from Edison or other resources.
Edison has provided testimony in a FERC proceeding that it recognizes that certain changes, which would be beneficial to these cities, should be made in tlie method of calculating Contract Energy costs under the, provisions of the IOAs. On November 19, 1987, FERC issued an opinion and order which would (i) reduce the amount of Contract'Energy which the cities would purchase from Edison; (ii) reduce the cost of such Contract Energy to the cities; and (iii) reduce the reserve obligations of the cities to the Edison control area in connection with capacity resources of the cities.
Edison has requested a rehearing by FERC. A decision with respect to "Edison's request has not been made by FERC. We have not included either such change in the method of calculating Contract Energy or the effects of the final opinion and order issued by FERC in our analysis.
Should a City Integrated Resource experience an extended outage, the city will be required to provide, or purchase from Edison, Replacement Capacity in accordance with its IOA. The cost of Replacement Capacity purchased from Edison, measured in dollars per kilowatt-day,'is based on the costs of electric generating facilities installed during the five years just prior to the current year.
However, the cities do not expect to be required to pay the cost of Replacement Capacity, except under unusual circumstances arising from extended outages of their Integrated Resources. Therefore, we have not considered the effects of Replacement Capacity costs on the cities'ower supply costs.
I Based upon the foregoing assumptions, our projection of Edison's wholesale power rates and the projected costs of the cities'espective Project Entitlements, the following tables show the projected power supply costs for the cities for a period from 1988 through 1993.

Based on the projected costs of power from their respective Project Entitlements and on certain data supplied by the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton, we have prepared projections of operating results of their electric systems for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1989 through 1993. In these projections, we show increases'in revenue requirements beyond the revenues generated at the cities'xisting rates and estimate an average annual change in revenue requirements over the five-year period of approximately 4.5%, 1.3%, -0.7%, 0% and 1.8% for Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton, respectively. Revenue requirem'ents are based on covering projected operating expenses, including the cost of power from each city's Project Entitlement, debt service on bonds previously issued, where applicable, and on meeting the respective electric system's projected capital improvement program and other non-operating financial commitments.

Cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena The cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena are each municipal corporations existing under the laws of the State of California, owning and operating electric public utilities providing electric service to virtually all of the electric customers within their respective city limits.
9 Electric rates for each city are fixed by its City Council and are not subject to regulation by any California state agency. Each city is subject to certain ratemaking provisions of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.
Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena supply electricity to their respective electric systems through a combination of oil- and gas-fired generating facilities located in the Los Angeles Basin, 34 MW of hydroelectric'generation at the Hoover Power Plant and purchases from BPA and other utilities in the Northwest and Southwest. The City of Pasadena also purchases electric energy from the Azusa Hydroelectric Plant. In the twelve months ended June 30, 1988, the three cities generated an aggregate
. of 861,770 MWh of energy and purchased an aggregate of 2,224,939 MWh.
The 2.3% projected combined average annual peak load growth over the period 1989 to 1993 for the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena reflects their view of the population increase of the area A-34
and the effect on consumption of conservation measures already implemented and those proposed, including the introduction, in some instances, of alternative energy resources.
The cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena have entered into contracts to purchase a total of 9.484% (151.744 MW) of IPP base capacity and energy and 13.719% of the capacity and energy available under the Excess Power Sales Agreement which is prese'ntly projected to be approximately 46.221 MW. The cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena liave a feasibility study participation percentage totaling 5.61% in the White Pine Power Project. The cities of Burbank and Glendale each have a 3.85% ownership interest in the SEP. The City of Pasadena has a 2.3% ownership interest in the SEP. The following table summarizes the fiscal year historical peak loa'ds and resources and projected future peak loads and resources through 1993 for the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena The projected future peak loads and resources were provided by the cities of Burbank, Glendale and

PRINCIPAL CONSIDERATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS The estimates and projections contained herein are based, in part, on the following information which was provided by the identified sources. While we believe these sources to be reliable and have no reason to believe such information is unreasonable, we have not independently verified such information.
Projections of the Department's power and energy requirements, resources and power supply costs, excluding costs of its Project Entitlement and. IPP generation entitlements, were provided by the Department.
- 2. Projections of power and energy requirements for the cities of Riverside, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton and the District were provided by those Project Participants.,
- 3. Excluding their Project Entitlements, IPP generation entitlements and the Hoover uprating project, projections of resources for the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena were provided by those Project Participants.
4., Projections of capital expenditures and operation and maintenance expenses for the Depart-ment, and the cities of Riverside, Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena were provided by those Project Participants.
- 5. The District and the City of Vernon provided projections of their capital expenditures.
- 6. The financial advisor has provided us with assumed investment rates of 8.0% through fiscal year 1992 and 7.85% for fiscal year 1993 for the proceeds of Prior Series Bonds and the 1989 Bonds deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Account in the Debt Service Fund and the Reserve and Contingency Fund, and 7.0% for such proceeds deposited in all other funds.
In the preparation of ou'r report, we have projected wholesale power and energy rates for Edison.
Oil and gas prices have a direct impact on Edison rates. The oil price level used in the analyses of future Edison rates is based on an average cost of $ 18.54 per barrel in 1988 increasing at 4.2% per year through 1993 and at 5.7% per year after 1990. The natural gas price level is based on an average cost of
$ 3.04 per million BTU in 1988 increasing at 4.2% per year through 1990 and at 5.7% per year after 1990.
Additionally, we cannot presently determine to what extent Edison will be allowed to include CWIP in its wholesale electric rates. Edison has not included CWIP in its most recent rate settlement with the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton. Our projections of Edison's wholesale electric rates do not include an allowance for CWIP in its rate base. We have not analyzed what impact, ifany, the proposed merger, if approved, of SDGRE with Edison will have on Edison's operations or its wholesale electric rates.
Additionally, in the preparation of this report and the numbered opinions that follow, we have made certain assumptions with respect to conditions which may occur in the future. While we believe these assumptions are reasonable, for the purpose of this report, they are dependent upon future events, and actual conditio'ns may differ from those assumed. In making such assumptions, we have used and relied upon certain information provided to us by the Department, acting as the Authority's agent, the Project Participants, Edison and others. While we believe the sources to be reliable, we have not independently verified the information. To=the extent that actual future conditions differ from those assumed herein "or from the information provided.to us by others, the actual results will vary from those projected. The principal assumptions made by us and the principal information related to such assumptions provided to us by others include the following:
- 1. Based on actual expenditures through November 30, 1988, APS's estimate of direct construc-tion costs of the Project, and the Authority contingency allowance for uncertainties not included in APS's estimate of the total construction costs for the Project provided by the
Department, as the Authority's Agent, the cost of acquisition of the Authority Interest will be 8465,170,000.
Operating costs of the Project were projected by APS with the exception of taxes.
- 3. Based on APS's projection, as adjusted by us, Unit 3 will have a plant factor of approximately 60% during the first cycle of operation and each unit will have a plant factor of approximately 65% during the second cycle of operation and 70% thereafter.
4 By such time as the on-site fuel storage facilities reach capacity, a national program for spent fuel disposal will have been implemented.
5 Existing environmental laws and=regulations will not be, modified to adversely affect the operation of the Project.
6 Ifadditional permits, licenses and approvals are necessary to continue operating the Project, they will be received on a timely basis.
7 The variable cost of power from the Project will, in the future, maintain its same position relative to the variable cost of power from alternative resources which are nowavailable to the Project Participants.
8 The cities of Riverside, Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton have integrated their respective Project Entitlements as a City Capacity Resource under their respective Integrated Opera-tions Agreements with Edison.
9 Power and energy requirements of the cities of Vernon, Azusa, Banning and Colton, beyond that provided by their respective Project Entitlements and their respective Hoover uprating project entitlements, including Western energy credits, their respective short-term firm power purchases under contract or agreement; and the City of Vernon's diesel generators and the City of Banning's hydroelectric generating project, will be purchased from Edison in accordance with the te'rms of their respective Integrated Operations Agreements.
10 Power and energy requirements of the City of Riverside, beyond those provided by its Project Entitlement, San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 2 and 3, IPP, Deseret and its Hoover uprating project entitlement, including Western energy credits, and short-term firm power purchases under contract or agreement will be purchased from Edison in accordance with the terms of its Integrated Operations Agreement.
ll With the exception of the Department and the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena; the Project Participants'articipation in other potential resources or economy purchases which are not under contract but which may become available to such Project Participants during the projected period have not been included in the projected power costs or our projection of resources of the Project Participants.
- 12. Based on information provided by the Project Participants, the District, Glendale, Azusa and Colton will finance the projected costs of normal capital replacements and'im'provements, if any, to their electric systems from current revenues.
- 13. Transmission for each Project Participant's Project Entitlement will be provided in accor-dance with the agreements as discussed herein.
- 14. Projected wholesale power and energy rates for Edison are based on historical results of Edison operations, recent rate filings, and Edison's electric system resource plans and load forecasts. Further, in projecting Edison rates, we have supplemented recent Edison filings with the following assumptions: (1) FERC will allow Edison a 13.0% rate of return on common equity in 1988 through 1990 and 13.5% in 1991 and thereafter; (2). the basic rate of annual inflation will be approximately 4.2% per year; (3) annual escalation for coal will be 5.7% per year; (4) operating expenses will escalate at 4.2% per'ea'r; and (5) the costs of
construction will generally escalate at 5.2% per year. The resulting wholesale energy charges paid by the cities of Azusa, Banning, Colton, Riverside, and Vernon to Edison would increase at approximately 3.7% per year for fiscal years 1988-1993.
- 15. The 1988 average revenue per unit of energy sales, based on 1988 revenues from the sales of electricity and total energy sales, as provided by all Project Participants with the exception of the Department, will continue at the same level for the projected energy sales over the period of fiscal years ending June 30, 1989 through 1993.
- 16. The existing ratemaking authority of the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Azusa, Banning and Colton and the District to establish rates for the purpose of providing necessary revenues for their respective electric utility systems will not be adversely modified.
- 17. The capital expenditures and operation and maintenance expenses for the cities of Azusa, Banning, Colton and Vernon will follow historical trends.
- 18. The operation and maintenance expenses for the District and the City of Vernon will follow historical trends.
OPINIONS Based upon our studies and analyses, the considerations and assumptions in this report and the information supplied by the Project Participants, the Department, acting as the Authority's agent, and Edison with respect to the Authority's acquisition, construction and placing into operation of the Authority Interest, we are of the opinion that:
- 1. Financing by the Authority to provide funds to allow completion of the Authority Interest has been completed.
- 2. The projected cost of power from the Authority Interest is reasonable when compared with the cost of power expected from other long-term power supply resources which may be available to the Project Participants in the same time frame as the Project.
- 3. The Project Participants will continue to schedule the maximum amount of the production available from their respective Project Entitlements.
- 4. The projected revenue requirements from the sale of electricity for the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Azusa, Banning and Colton and the District during fiscal years ending June 30, 1989 through 1993 can reasonably'e met.
Information appearing in the OScial Statement which was taken from our report or which was specifically attributed to the Consulting Engineer is accurately presented in the OfBcial Statement.

APPENDIX B PROJECT PARTICIPANTS The information contained in this Appendix has been fiirnished to the Authority by fhe respective Project Participants, This Appendix presents inforination as of tfie respective dates set forth herein. Neither the Authority nor any Project Participant mal'es any representations regarding the accuracy of this inforination subsequent to such dates.
The Department of Water and Power of The City of Los Angeles The Department of Water and Power of The City of Los Angeles (the "Department" ) is a separate proprietary agency controlling its own funds with full responsibility for meeting the water and electric requirements, of its service area. There follows certain information concerning the Department prepared by the Department for inclusion in this appendix to the OiFicial Statement. This information does not purport to cover all aspects of the Department's business, operations and financial position.
During the initial offering period'for the securities offered by this Official Statement a copy of the most recent annual report and the most recent ofFicial statement prepared by the Department for the issuance of securities for its power system may be obtained from: B C Monk, Department of Water and Power, 333 South Beaudry, 18th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90012.
1 Organization The Department, the largest municipal utility in the United States, exists under and by virtue of the Charter of The City of Los Angeles adopted in January 1925, as amended. It provides water and electric services almost entirely within the boundaries of The City of Los Angeles, which encompasses some 465 square miles, to a population of approximately 3.4 million. The electric properties and operations of the Department are referred to herein as the "Power System".
Administration of the Department is under the direction of a five-member Board of Water and Power Commissioners (the",Board" ), traditionally selected from among prominent business, profes-sional and civic leaders in the City. They are appointed for terms of five years each by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. The members of the Board serve without compensation except for an attendance fee of fifty dollars each for each Board meeting they attend, not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars in any calendar month. Certain matters regarding the administration'f the Department also require the approval of the City Council.
The management and operation of the Department is under the direction of the General Manager and Chief Engineer, Paul H. Lane. Effective November 10, 1988, Norman, E. ¹chols became the Assistant General Manager and Chief Engineer and he will replace Mr. Lane upon his retirement March 31, 1989. The Power System is directed by the Assistant General Manager Power. External affairs are under the guidance of the Assistant General Manager External AKairs. Financial afiairs are under the guidance of the Chief Financial Oificer, and legal counsel is provided by the City Attorney and the Chief Assistant City Attorney for Water and Power.
The personnel functions of the Department are conducted in accordance with the civil service system established by the Los Angeles City Charter which is applicable to almost all Department employees. Under this system, appointments are made on the basis of merit through competitive examinations and civil service procedures, The position of General Manager and Chief Engineer and certain other management positions. are specifically exempted from the classified civil service. under provisions of the Charter.
Wages and salaries paid all Department employees are fixed by the City Council. In accordance with a State Act (the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act) and a conforming Los Angeles City Ordinance (the Employee Relations Ordinance), fourteen. bargaining units covering approximately 10,900 persons, or B-.1
96% of all Department employees, have been established since 1975. Seven labor or professional organizations represent the employees'argaining units. In the bargaining process, memoranda of understanding are developed which set forth wages, hours, overtime and other terms and conditions of employment. After appropriate approval by the City Council, the memoranda are binding upon the Department, City Council and the respective employees'nions and organizations. Memoranda of Understanding have been entered into with the various bargaining units extending through September 30, 1988. Negotiations are currently in progress to reach new Memoranda of Understanding with such bargaining units.
The Power System As of December 31, 1988 the Power System had a net dependable system capability of 7,280 megawatts ("MW") which is owned or operated generation. Steam electric generating capacity is equal to 73% of the Syste'm's total net capability, and owned hydroelectric generating capacity accounts for 20% of such capability, Purchases are made on a day to day or week to week basis that will alter these percentages. The portion of the hydroelectric generating capability that can be depended upon for carrying system load is determined by water flow conditions and system load characteristics.
The Power System's depreciated properties are valued in excess of $ 3.0 billion, as of June 30, 1988.
Steam Generation: There has been a notable expansion in steam powered generation under a continuous, long-range program of planning and construction. The Power System's largest generating facility is the Haynes Generating Station with a total plant capacity of 1,570 MW, situated in the City of Long Beach, California. The Haynes Generating Station represents 22% of the Power System's overall capability.
Three additional fossil-fuel plants generate a total of 1,543 MW: the Valley Generating Station in the San Fernando Valley, the Harbor Generating Station in Wilmington and the Scattergood Generat-ing Station-situated near El Segundo. The third unit at Scattergood is presently operated under a permit which limits its output to 358 MW using natural gas as a fuel source. Studies are presently being conducted to determine if Unit 3 output can be increased to 460 MW.
The Department shares ownership in two coal-flred generating stations, Mohave in Southern Nevada and Navajo in Northern Arizona. The Department's share of Mohave is 20% and amounts to 316 MW of capacity. The Department's share of Navajo is 21.2% which amounts to 477 MW capacity.
Additionally, the Department has' generation entitlement share in the Intermountain Power Project
("IPP") in Utah, which, together with the contractual arrangements, amount to 1,068 MW.
A The Department obtained its 5.7% (217 MW) interest in the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station ("PVNGS"), Units 1, 2 and 3 on January 29, 1986 when PVNGS Unit 1 attained commercial operation. PVNGS Unit 2 attained commercial operation on September 18, 1986 and Unit 3 reached commercial operation on January 19, 1988. The Department'lso has a 3.96% (151 MW) generation entitlement share of PVNGS through'the Southern California Public Power Authority ("Authority")
ownership interest of 5.91%.
Natural gas, supplied by the Southern California Gas Company, is used as fuel for the Depart-ment's Los Angeles Basin steam plants whenever available and economical. Low-sulfur, low-ash residual oil is burned when gas is not used.
Hydroelectric Generation: The Department's major sources of hydroelectric capacity are Castaic Power Plant and its generation entitlement from Hoover Power Plant. Castaic Power Plant provides peaking capability only and is not a source of energy to meet base load requirements. An additional source of hydroelectric capability is provided by the Owens Gorge Hydroelectric Development, with an aggregate capacity of 119 MW. Situated on the northern rim of the Owens Valley in the Eastern High Sierra, this complex utilizes water resources of the Los Angeles-Owens River Aqueduct System.
The utilization by the City of such water resources has been the subject of considerable controversy and is now the subject of litigation (see Item (5) under "Litigation"). Smaller hydroelectric facilities B-2
are located north of the City along the Aqueduct in San Francisquito Canyon and at Van Norman and Franklin Reservoirs. The net plant capability of these smaller units under normal water conditions is 81 MW.
Purchased Capability: The Department purchases capacity and en'ergy from Bonneville Power Administration ("BPA") and other Paci6c Northwest utilities to be delivered over the Pacific DC Intertie + 500-kV high-voltage DC line ("Intertie" ). These purchases are used by the Department during on-peak hours in conjunction with other resources for economic system operation. In addition, purchases of economy energy are made from utilities in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.

7'ranstnission and Distribution: Electricity from the Department's hydroelectric and steam power sources is delivered to customers over a complex, reliable transmission and distribution system. To deliver energy from generating plants to the customers, the Department owns and/or operates B-3
approximately 17,700 miles of transmission and distribution circuits operating at voltages ranging from 120 to 1,000,000 volts.
In addition to utilizing its transmission system for its resources located in other states, the Department transmits energy for others through its system when surplus 'transmission capacity is available. As the operating agent of the Intertie, the Department transmits energy for the co-owners of the Intertie.
For a discussion of the Department's participation in the Mead-Phoenix DC Intertie Project see "Southern California Public Power Authority Other Activities of the Authority" in the Offlcial Statement to which this Appendix B is attached.
.Power. System Loads As with most electric utilities in the Uriited States, the Power System has experienced a marked decline in'the rate of load growth since the early 1970s. The annual rate of growth of both system peak demand and net energy for load ("NEL"), the net system energy generated and purchased for Power System customers, was in the range of 7% to 8% for the twenty-year period through 1970. Growth in NEL continued at a slightly lower rate through 1972. In 1974, the Arab oil embargo and resulting mandatory curtailment program reduced the level of NEL to 1970 levels. A portion of this reduction, however, is attributed to the economic recession experienced during that period. Since 1974, the Power System's loads have reflected moderate increases resulting from both increased demand and economic recovery. The growth in the Power System's NEL averaged 2.3% for the period 1975-1988.
The estimated Power System load projection, dated September 1988, for the period through 2005 is summarized in the following table. The projected rate of growth is considerably below that experienced in the 1950s and 1960s. This reflects the modest rate of population'growth within the City, the expected impact of higher consumer costs, and the implementation of demand-side management measures over the next twenty years. The variations in the indicated five-year compound growth rates reflect assumptions relative to the impact of conservation measures. The following table also shows the projected generating capacity in megawatts of the. Power System through 2005.

Capital Additions and Financing Requirements The Department's program of planning and construction to satisfy current power requirements and to meet future needs is continually being;reviewed, updated and extended. Current estimates indicate that the Department will invest approximately $ 1,737 million in power generating and distributing facilities in the 5-year period which began July ls 1988.
B-4 t
Following is a summary of the currently projected Power System capital program for the fiscal years 1988-89 through 1992-93 and the projected external financing requirements over the period.

'et of reimbursements.
Major components of the capital program over the 1988-89 through 1992-93 period include the following:
~ Transmission system improvements related to required base load generation additions totaling approximately $ 137 million.
~ Capacity increases to the Intertie totaling approximately $ 28 million.
~ Continuing system additions and betterments and load-related distribution system improve-ments totaling approximately $ 240 million annually.
Power System Additions The Power System currently has adequate capacity to take care of its needs in the short-term. It faces a need, however, in the long-term for additional generation capacity to replace existing gas- and oil-fueled units as they reach their useful operating lives, to replace generating units being recalled and to meet the load growth presently expected. Consequently, the Department is engaged in or studying the following projects to provide additional capacity:
White Pine Pouer Project: The Department, in cooperation with White Pine County, Nevada, the California municipalities of Anaheim, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Riverside, and several Nevada utilities, has begun studies to establish the feasibility of and proceed with the licensing activities necessary for constructing a coal-fired generating station near Ely, Nevada. This project would have a capability of approximately 1,500 MW. It is contemplated that White Pine County would own all, or a major portion of, and finance this project through bonds issued by White Pine County which would be secured by power sales contracts entered into with the various purchasers of power from the project.
The project participants entered into agreements with White Pine County in the fall of 1980 for the purpose of conducting a feasibility study. The Department's entitlement percentage share for the feasibility study is approximately 39%. White Pine County issued notes in the principal amount of
$ 19,929,000 for such purposes, all but'$500,000 principal amount of which has been prepaid. The remaining $ 500,000 note matures December 31, 1992 and is payable from the proceeds of long- term bonds to be issued by White Pine County or from payments by the participants under such agreements on the basis of entitlement shares. The present commercial operation dates for the 750 MW generating units, ifbuilt, are in the mid-1990's.
Devers-Pato Verde ¹2 Trnnsmission Linc: The Department, the Imperial Irrigation District and the cities of Riverside, Vernon, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Azusa, Banning and Colton along with the Southern California Edison Company ("Edison" ), as project manager, have undertaken studies to B-5
explore the feasibility of constructing a 500 kV AC transmission line. This proposed Devers-Palo Verde ¹2 transmission line, if built, will parallel the existing Devers-Palo Verde ¹1 transmission line from the PVNGS to Edison's Devers Substation, which is located west of Desert Hot Springs,
'alifornia. The Department's participation rights in the proposed project total 30.7%, with an estimated total cost to the participants"'of $ 243 million. Edison has scheduled the project for completion in June, 1993.
On December S, 1988, the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") granted Edison a CertiBcate of Public Convenience and Necessity for this project. In its decision, the CPUC reserves the right to reevaluate its approval if the proposed Edison San Diego Gas R Electric Company merger (CPUC Application 8-12-035: FERC Docket No. EC S9-5-000) is consummated or is still pending as of January 1, 1990. The decision notes that there may be no economic benefit from the line for Edison ratepayers ifthe merger is completed. Pursuant to an agreement with Edison, the Department has the right'to construct this transmission line ifEdison fails to commence construction before July 1, 1989. It is not clear what effect, ifany, the above-described developments will have on the construction of this transmission line or the participation of the above-mentioned utilities.
Splmar Expansion Project: The Department, the cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena and Edison are participants in the Sylmar Expansion Project ("SEP") which provides an 1,100 MW expansion of the terminal capacity at the AC/DC converter station which is located at Sylmar, California. This project will increase the capacity of the Intertie from 2,000 MW to 3,100 MW. The Department is the project manager for the southern terminal of the Intertie and is responsible for the construction of the SEP. The Bonneville Power Administration ("BPA") is the project manager for the northern terminal and is responsible for a similar expansion at the northern converter station of the Intertie in Oregon. The Department estimates that the cost of the SEP will be $ 171,000,000.
Construction is nearly complete and the SEP is currently in the testing phase. The SEP is anticipated to be completed in February 1989.
Utah-Neoada Transmission Project: Members of the Authority, together with several electric utilities providing service in Utah and Nevada, are considering constructing, owning and operating an electric transmission project to include facilities to be located in Utah and Nevada. This project, if undertaken and built, would be in operation in the mid-1990's. It is anticipated that, to the extent its members participate in and the Authority undertakes this project, the Authority will own and finance a portion of the project on behalf of its participating members, who would purchase transmission service or capability of the project from the Authority.
Long 2'enn Poicer Purchase: The Department is in the process of consummating a long term system purchase from the Utah Power R Light Company ("Utah" ) consisting of an amount of capacity and energy equal to the amount of capacity and energy available to Utah from its remaining 4-percent entitlement in IPP. The Department will pay costs associated with Utah's entitlement in IPP, but the Department has not been assigned Utah's entitlement rights.
In addition to the projects described above, the Department is involved in preliminary studies relative to geothermal development and in purchasing electric energy from privately developed cogeneration projects.
Geothermal: In September 1981, the Department bid for and acquired leases from the Bureau of Land Management to develop the geothermal potential on three parcels in the Coso Known Geothermal Resource Area ("KGRA"). The Coso KGRA is located approximately 40 miles south of Lone Pine, in the Owens Valley. Three exploratory wells were drilled during the first half of 1985 to obtain information to assess the quality and viability of the resource. Two of the wells are successful and the third well is used for reinjection. Additional exploratory wells are being permitted. The probable reserves on the Department's leases are currently estimated to be in the 200 to 400 MW range. Development of the leases by outside parties is being considered.
Cogeneration: Cogeneration projects totaling 91 MW nameplate capacity are currently in operation within the Department's service area. Some of these projects are selling excess electric B-6
energy to the Department under negotiated agreements. An additional estimated 160 MW of cogeneration are currently in active development and are expected to"be operational by 1990.
Fuel Supply The Department's Los Angeles Basin normal oil and gas requirements are "estimated to range during the period 1988 through 1995 between 8 and 10 million equivalent barrels per year. Natural gas is expected to be available to supply 100% of these requirements during that period. Natural gas is currently supplied to the Department by the Southern California Gas Company; 18% is take-or-pay with the balance on a curtailable basis at the lowest priority level. The Department is developing a natural gas purchasing program to supply up to 50% of its future natural gas needs from independent spot market suppliers.
Although long-term fuel oil requirements are. expected to be minimal, natural gas supply curtailments projected for winter 1988-89 will necessitate a fuel oil burn of approximately "3.7 million barrels. The Department has recently approved the purchase of additional fuel 'oil suScient to meet this need.
The Department has terminated all long-term fuel oil contracts and expects to supply all requirements from short-term contracts as needed and anticipates no problem in meeting the requirements. The Department's existing fuel oil inventory of 2.5 million barrels can be used to protect the Department during adverse weather conditions. During periods in which the Department's natural gas purchase price exceeds its fuel oil purchase price, the Department has displaced natural gas with fuel oil to the extent possible.
Limitations on the use of natural gas as a utility'oiler fuel under the Power Plant and Industrial Fuel Use Act of 1978 were repealed in August 1982. Regulations of the South Coast Air Quality Management District ("SCAQMD") have required the use of fuel oil with no more than a maximum sulfur content of 0.25% by weight. SCAQMD's rules also require the use of all available natural gas on any predicted or attained air pollution episode day. (See also '-'Environmental and Regulatory Factors", relative to additional limits on the sulfur content of fuel oil.),
Coal-Bred steam-generated projects in which the Department has an ownership interest are supplied with coal under contracts.
Water Water required for steam plant operations is secured from a number of sources. Three Los Angeles Basin steam plants, Harbor, Scattergood and Haynes, utilize the waters of the Pacific Ocean for power plant cooling purposes.' fourth Basin plant, the Valley Generating Station, utilizes groundwater pumped from the San Fernando Valley. The California Supre'me Court has upheld the rights of The City of Los Angeles to the native waters of the San Fernando Basin, and to certain other contested water rights.
The Mohave and Navajo Generating Stations utilize water taken from the Colorado River for cooling purposes, the Navajo plant extracts water from Lake Powell, which was created by the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam. The rights to use such waters from the river rest upon the Colorado River compact, the decree of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Arizona o. California, and upon contracts entered into pursuant to the rights granted by such compact and decree. Certain small Indian tribes have announced claims to additional waters of the Colorado River beyond those granted in the decree, and the Navajo Indian Nation has indicated it will make substantial claims to the waters of the river. In December 1978, the United States and several Indian tribes along the Colorado River asked the United States Supreme Court to reopen the case of Arizona v. California to hear their claims of additional water rights over and beyond those previously granted. A Special Master was appointed to hear those claims, and on March 18, 1982 rendered a decision in favor of the Indian tribes. On March 30, 1983, the Supreme Court issued its decision which rejected to a large extent the Master' recommendations that the tribes be awarded additional water rights. However, the court deferred B-7
certain claims to be determined by a lower federal court at a futuro time. Although the tribes may ultimately prevail on their claims in the future, the Department is conildent that these pending matters, even ifdetermined adversely to the Department, do not pose a threat to the operation of the generating stations.
Electric Rates The Board is obligated by the City Charter and each Final Resolution pursuant to which the Department has issued revenue bonds or notes, to establish electric rates and collect charges in an amount suRcient to service the Department's Power System indebtedness and to meet its expenses of operation and maintenance. Rates are subject to the approval of the City Council by ordinance, but are not regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of California or by any other state agency.
Although its rates are not subject to approval by any federal agency, the Department is subject to certain ratemaking provisions of the Public UtilityRegulatory Policies Act of 1978. The Department is operating in compliance with the Act. Following public hearings, an electric rate increase of 7.8% was effective October 1, 1988.
The Power System's electric rates or'dinance contains an energy cost adjustment formula, under which the cost to the Department of fuel for generation of electric energy and purchased energy costs are recovered by direct adjustment to customers'ills.
Energy Curtailment Plan and Conservation 'mergency V
In 1973 the City Council enacted an Emergency Energy Curtailment Plan which mandated certain designated electricity conservation measures. The implementation of this plan was suspended in 1974 when the Department's fuel situation improved. However, the plan remains as part of the Municipal Code for possible future use. In addition, a- revised and supplemented Plan, redesignated the Emergency Energy and Capacity Curtailment Plan of The City of Los Angeles, became effective on June 16, 1981.
The City Charter authorizes the Department to engage in and finance activities related to the conservation of electricity and water.
Operating Statistics The Department's service area consists of Los Angeles City, where over 1.3 million customers are now served, and certain areas of Inyo and Mono counties in California, where over 4,500 customers are served. In the twelve months ending September 30, 1988, approximately 27% of the total energy sales were to residential customers, 70% to commercial and industrial customers, and the remainder to miscellaneous minor classifications. The portions of operating revenues from the two major customer classes were in the proportions of approximately 28% and 69%, respectively.

Environmental and Regulatory Factors Environmental considerations and regulatory restrictions relative to the operation of the Power System's existing facilities, and to the location, design and construction of new facilities, may adversely affect the adequacy of electric service in the future.
The SCAQMD has adopted an "Emergency Episode Plan" ("Plan" ) which defines three so-called air quality Emergency Episode Stages and requires the Department to submit a plan demonstrating measures it will take during Stage I, Stage II and Stage III episodes. The Plan requires the Department to burn natural gas to the extent available, instead of fuel oil, during Stage I Episodes. During a Stage II or Stage III Episode, the Department must also reduce generation in power plants within the Los Angeles Basin by shifting generation to plants outside the basin to the extent consistent with health, safety and welfare. The Basin has never experienced a Stage III Episode.
In March 1980, the California State Air Resources Board ("ARB") adopted a rule providing for the reduction of emissions of nitrogen oxides ("NOx") from utility power plants in the South Coast The Department intervened in a lawsuit brought by Edison against the ARB challenging this Air'asin.
new rule. Subsequently, negotiations among the parties produced a settlement which was imple-mented through a court ordered judgment on March 10, 1982. The basic terms of the settlement are (i) mandatory rescission of ARB's modified rule, thus avoiding the expenditure by the Department of approximately $ 257 million, and (ii) compliance by the Department with annual NOx emission limits B-9
as provided in the settlement. The Power System has complied with the limits every year without installing additional NOx control equipment.
In February 1988, the SCAQMD proposed a rule which would require the installation of costly NOx control equipment on utility boilers and would nullify the settlement with the ARB. If adopted, the proposed rule could require the expenditure of up to $ 100,million per year in compliance costs.
The Department is advocating a far less costly alternative in the current rulemaking.
In 1984, the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act and the Toxic Substance Control Act were amended by Congress to be more restrictive on the transportation, use, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes including actual bans on certain existing hazardous material and waste handling practices. The California Legislature during 1987 and 1988 continued its active. support of environmental legislation for the control of hazardous substances. The California State Water Resources Control Board and the State Department of Health Services continued their regulatory efforts to control transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous substances. The full fiscal impact on Department operations cannot be determined at this time. Additionally, the Depart-ment has budgeted approximately $ 10 million to address underground storage of hazardous substances and surface impoundments to comply with California and Federal environmental legislation enacted in 1984 and 1985.-
The President, in 1986, sigiied into law the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. In addition, current efforts by California and Federal agencies to investigate and improve Superfurid sites may impact the Department as a result of previous disposal practices. Previously approved disposal methods or sites may become candidates for Superfund classification which may require. substantial expenditures by the Department as a participant in the cleanup/remedial action required for the site.
The Service Area The City of Los Angeles, encompassing an area of 465 square miles, is served exclusively by the Department. As indicated in the following chart, the population of the service area has risen from 102,479 at the turn of the century to an estimated 3.4 million residents as of January 1, 1988 to.,become the second largest city in the United States and the nucleus of the most populous County, Los Angeles County, in the nation.

Note: For the decennial census years the population is as of April 1 and is from the United States Bureau of the Census while for the years 1981 through 1988 the population is as of January 1 and is from the California Department of Finance.
The U.S. Department of Commerce in the 1982 Annual Census of Manufacturers reported that the number of persons employed in manufacturing constituted about one-fourth of the area's labor force.
Value added by manufacturers in 1982 aggregated over $ 40 billion, ranking the Los Angeles County area as California's largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area ("SMSA") in this respect, or 43 percent of the state total, having moved up from fifth place in 1947. During the interval from 1947 to 1982, a net gain of $ 28.1 billion in value added by manufacturing was achieved.
Los Angeles has important production facilities for most major branches of industry. It is the site of the largest industrial concentration in the Western United States, not only serving the local area and the region, but also participating in the national and international markets. In retail sales Los Angeles ranks second nationally as a city and first as a metropolitan area. With over 810 banks and branches, the Los Angeles SMSA is the leading financial center in the Western United States. The Nation's seven
.largest sayings and loan associations are headquartered in the Los Angeles SMSA. In addition, Los Angeles leads in employment and payrolls of banks, savings and loan associations, insurance carriers and agents, and security and commodity, brokers.
Litigation There is no pending litigation relating to the Power System or the Department's operations or business pertaining thereto, except as hei;einafter stated.
(1) An action was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California in October 1978 on behalf of black personnel against the Department and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local Union No. 18, containing broad general allegations of racial discrimination in employment practices, seeking declaratory, injunctive and "make whole" relief and requesting punitive damages and damages for emotional distress. An amended com-
plaint was filed by the plaintiffs which alleges racial discrimination throughout the government of The City of Los Angeles. In June 1981, the District Court limited the class of plaintiffs to those black craft employees of the Department speciBcally affected by the alleged discrimination and to those who can show that they have been personally damaged. The case was dismissed as to all other plaintiffs. In February, 1983, the District Court consolidated this case with another class action case (Anderson, et al. v. Department of Water and Power, et al.) which also alleges racial and ethnic discrimination by the Department, The City of Los Angeles and the Board of Civil Service Commissioners. The named plaintiffs in the latter class action are draftsmen, engineers, and architects who are challenging promotional testing on a Department-wide basis. Injunctive and monetary relief are sought. In May 1985, the class was certiBed. In March 1986, the plaintiffs'otion for partial summary judgment was denied. A second such motion was filed in November 1986 and was also denied in January 1987. In July 1988, the plaintiffs dismissed the Anderson lawsuit without prejudice, and reduced the scope of the Worthen action by means of another amended complaint to a declaratory relief action testing, the Department's pay and position advancement procedures among clerical employees. The trial is set for April ll, 1989. (Leon (formerly Worthen) et al. v. Department of Water and Poiver et al.)
(2) Commencing in 1977-78, and again in 1984, the Navajo Indian Tribe adopted certain taxes affecting the operation of the Navajo and Mohave Generating Stations and the production of coal to be used at those stations. The generating station participants, including the Department, contested the taxing authority of the Navajo Indian Tribe in federal courts. In connection with renegotiation of the leases for operation of the two generating stations, all major issues involving the taxes have'been settled and the renegotiated leases have been approved by the Secretary oF the Interior. The settlement has resulted in an increase in the price of coal used to generate electricity from $ 17 per ton to $ 19 per ton. This increase has already been incorporated in the Department's energy cost adjustment.
In 1982 and 1983, the Hopi Tribe also adopted ordinances attempting to impose taxes on coal mined on its reservation for use at the two generating stations. However, the Secretary of the Interior, whose approval is required, vetoed the ordinances and no further action has been taken by the Tribe. If the Tribe enacts another such ordinance, it is expected that the participants will oppose it. (Salt River Project Agricultural Improveinent and Poiver District, et al. v. Navajo Tribe of Indians, et al.) I (3) In October 1978 a major brush fire burned several homes and other structures in the Mandeville Canyon area of the City. Claims were consolidated in'two lawsuits seeking g7.9 million in damages alleging maintenance of a dangerous condition in the operation of overhead electrical transmission lines. A further cause of action-arising from the same facts was'alleged in inverse condemnation. Trial took place in January and February 1983. On the issue of maintenance of a dangerous condition in the operation of overhead electrical transmission lines, the jury found for the Department. However, under the inverse condemnation theory, the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, ruling without a jury, found for the plaintiffs and granted damages in the amount of 810,600,000, which included prejudgment interest, costs and attorney'.s fees. Subsequently, the Superior Court also ruled in favor oF the plaintiffs on the dangerous condition cause of action, notwithstanding the jury verdict. The Department appealed and obtained a writ from the Court of Appeal of the State of California staying enforcement of the judgment during the appeal. On July 31, 1985, the Court of Appeal afBrmed the decision, with the exception of reversing the attorney's fee award. The Department Bled a petition for hearing in the California Supreme Court which was denied. Therefore, the only issue which remained to be determined in the case was the question of attorney's fees, and the judgment (except for attorney's fees) has been paid. In November 1986, the Superior Court awarded attorney's fees of $ 2,'116,000'to'he plaintiffs. A dispute has arisen over payment of a portion of the attorney's fees end post-judgment interest which the Department contends is payable by those liability insurance companies that provided certain coverage for amounts in excess of $ 10.R million at the time of the 1978 fire. The insurers refused to pay the
excess amounts due, and the Department has now filed suit against them. (Aetna Life and Casualty Company, et al. o. Department of Water and Poioer, et al.)
(4) On October 31, 1981, six residences were totally destroyed by Are in the Chatsworth area and, subsequently, damage claims have been received by the Department in an amount in excess of $ 5.2 million alleging the fire was caused by downed power lines resulting from strong winds. In Sep'tember 1982 a'omplaint was filed seeking damages based on allegations of dangerous conditions, and inverse condemnation. Trial commenced in October 1986. In November 1986, the judge issued a preliminary ruling against the Department on inverse condemnation. The jury found in favor of the Department on the dangerous conditions cause of action, removing the potential for mental distress damages. The jury awarded the plaintiffs $ L371 million in damages on the inverse condemnation issue and the Superior Court of Los Angeles County also awarded attorney's fees and pre-judgment interest for a total award of approximately 82.8 million. The Department Bled a Notice of Appeal in the California Court of Appeal in May 1987. (Farrene, et al.
- o. Department of Water and Poioer.).
(5) A petition for injunction and declaratory relief was filed in Superior Court of Mono County, seeking to require the Department's water diversions from four streams in the Mono Basin to cease or to be substantially decreased until such time as the water level in Mono Lake-a saline lake reaches a higher level. About 15% to 20% of the City's water comes from the Mono Basin diversions, and if the plaintiffs were to prevail, there would be a decrease of hydroelectric generation capability. On a Department motion, the case was transferred to the Superior Court of Alpine County, and the Department filed an answer denying the allegations of the complaint. The Department has cross-complained against a number of parties, including the United States of America and the State of California, asserting water rights in the Mono Basin. Following a removal of the case to the federal courts, the non-federal causes of action were remanded to the state court system.
The State of California, joined by the Department, moved for summary judgment which motion was granted. The plaintiffs petitioned the California Supreme Court to review the lower court's decision'nd on February 17, 1983, the California Supreme Court issued an opinion which
'eld that the plaintiffs could challenge the Department's existing water rights based upon the "public trust doctrine". The California Supreme Court's decision does not now limit any of the Department's water rights; however, it calls for a further hearing to weigh the interests of Mono Basin under the public trust do'ctrine against the City's needs which are served by the appropria-tive water rights system. This subsequent hearing or. adjudication will result in a decision which
'ould result in all, some or none of the City's water rights in the Mono Basin being curtailed. The plaintiffs moved in United States District Court for the Eastern District of California 'for an injunction to require the Department to maintain the lake level at 6,378 feet until August 1984, pending a resolution of the action. The present level is above that height. That motion for
~
injunctive relief was held in'abeyance while the District Court considered separate, motion by the Department to remove the proceedings back to the Superior Court of Alpine County. In December 1984, the District Court issued a ruling removing all of the proceedings back to the Superior Court'n Alpine County, except for an alleged federal common law nuisance for air pollution which it indicated it would retain. In October 1988, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit afBrmed the removal of the proceedings to the Superior Court and held that the plaintiffs could not state a cause of action in federal court for common law nuisance based on air or water pollution.
In related matte'rs that could also affect power generatiori from the Mono Basin, there are four lawsuits that have been filed that seek water releases below the Department's points of diversion on the Mono Basin creeks. The Department annually diverts approximately 100,000 acre feet per year (140 cfs) from the Mono Basin for water supply purposes and power gene'ration purposes along the Aqueduct to Los Angeles. Any water required to be maintained in the four Mono Basin creeks diverted by the Department below the diversion dams is lost for both water supply and B-13
power generation purposes. All of the following actions challenge the Department's continued right to divert the full flow of the four creeks:
(a) Dahlgren, et al. v. Department of Water and Poioer. This action, Bled in November of 1984, in the Superior Court of Mono County seeks to have public trust balancing on Rush Creek resources below the Department's point of diversion. It also seeks to have mandatory Bsh flow releases below the diversion works dam. A preliminary injunction was issued in the action requiring the Department to release some 19 cfs below the diversion works pending trial. Currently, the case is off calendar pending the results of certain studies to be jointly carried on by the Department and the California Department of Fish and Game.
(b) National Audubon Society v. State Water Resources Control Board (the Department is the real party in interest) and California Trout, Inc. v. State Water Resources Control Board (the Department is the real party in interest). Both of these cases seek a writ of mandate to compel the State Board to revoke the City's licenses to divert waters of Lee Vining, Walker, Parker and Rush Creeks and not to reissue such licenses until the State Board establishes minimum Bsh flows below the diversion works on each of these creeks as allegedly required by the California Fish and Game Code. The California Trout, action also seeks similar Bsh flow release for the Owens Gorge portion of the Owens River. These actions were heard in the Superior Court of Mono County in April of 1986 and both of the petitions for writ of mandate were denied. The plaintiffs sought appellate review of this trial court decision, and the appeal was briefed and argued before the California Court of Appeal. In February 1988, the California Court of Appeal ordered the case resubmitted due to its complexity.
In May 1988, the Court of Appeal reversed. the lower court and ordered the Superior Court'to issue a writ of mandate to the State Water Resources Control Board to conduct proceedings for revocation of the Department license to divert Mono Basin Creek water subject to be reissued if water for fish flow is maintained. The Department's petition for rehearing was granted and the Court of Appeal has now vacated the May 1988 decision. In January 1989 the Court of Appeal issued a new opinion ordering the Superior Court to mandate the State Water Resources Control Board to conduct proceedings to determine the water flow necessary below dams in the four creeks in Mono Basin to maintain fisheries, The Court of Appeal eliminated the Owens Gorge flow from consideration. Petition for review by the California Supreme Court is under consideration. (Two cases consolidated for hearing in the Court of Appeal on petition for mandate under California Trout, Inc. v. Superior Court, Mono County.).
(c) Mono LaIe Committee v. City of Los Angeles, et al. This action, Bled in August of 1986, is based upon the same legal theories as the Dahlgren case above, except that it seeks release on Lee Vining Creek, another of the creeks tributary to Mono Lake. A temporary restraining order required the Department to release 10 cfs down Lee Vining Creek below the diversion works. After a hearing, the Superior Court of Mono County issued a preliminary injunction requiring the Department to release approximately 4 cfs into lower Lee Vining Creek pending trial of the matter.
(6) A dispute with the State of California and other utilities over the contracts to supply the State Water Project with surplus electrical energy arose out'of the con'tinuing escalation of the price of fuel oil during the contract term. In 1979, the Department notified the State and other utilities of its intention to end its participation due to the commercial impracticability of continuing to provide the low-cost energy. In 1980, Southern California Edison Company and Pacific Gas R Electric Company brought lawsuits alleging breach of contract, with the former obtaining a preliminary injunction to prevent cessation of service pendi'ng the outcome of trial.
The. issuance of the injunction was conditioned on the plaintiffs posting a $ 14 million bond; however, the plaintiffs subsequently stipulated with the Department to indemnify the Department in the event of a decision in the Department's favor without further posting of bond being required. The State of California has intervened in the lawsuit. The contract terminated on March
. ~ , 1983. In early 1985, a motion for summary judgment was filed by the San Diego Gas R Electric ompany (a co-defendant in the action) on the grounds that the case was moot, since the contract was terminated in 1983. That motion was denied. If the Department prevails in the lawsuit, it will b e entitled to seek additional payment for providing the low-cost energy. The Board of Water and P ower Commissioners and the City Council have approved settlement of, the lawsuit which se ttlement has been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") and F ERC has dismissed the entire action with prejudice. (Southern California Edison Co. v. Depart-m ent of Water and Poiver, et al., and Pacific Gas 6 Electric Co. v. Department of Water and Poiver, et al. ) (2 cases)

(8) The Department is a party defendant'n the action entitled A Tumbling T Ranches, et al. v.
Ci tp of Phoenix, et al. described in the OfBcial Statement under the caption "Litigation Project-R elated Litigation."
"(9) The Bonneville Power Administration (the "BPA") has acted in recent years to increase si gnificantly the price of electric power and energy sold to its customers. The Department, to gether with other California cities, the California Public Utilities Commission and the California E nergy Commission ("California Parties" ) has intervened in proceedings before FERC and has ch allenged the rate-.setting methods used by the BPA in determining rate increases. FERC has de termined it has certain limited jurisdiction to review the rate actions of the BPA. However, the BPA questioned the jurisdiction of FERC to decide certain issues and brought the matter before th e United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the court of original jurisdiction for ERC review. On February 9, 1984, the Ninth Circuit upheld the determination of FERC garding FERC's jurisdiction but ruled that the Ninth Circuit lacks jurisdiction to review FERC's terim approval of the BPA 1981 and 1982 non-regional rates. An administrative law judge for ERC rendered a decision in January 1985 on the 1981 rates essentially supporting the BPA cisions. A brief of exceptions has been filed by the California Parties. However, no Bnal decision ha s yet been rendered by FERC. The Department has also challenged the setting of the 1983 and 19 85 BPA rate before an administrative law judge of FERC. In addition, the Department has filed an action, together with other California utilities, against the BPA, in the United States District C ourt for the District of Columbia, challenging the ruling by FERC regarding a 1979 rate increase by the BPA, In May 1986, the Department filed an action in the United States Court of Appeals for th e Ninth Circuit challenging BPA's reopening and changing of the 1985 rates without compliance with the hearing requirements of the Pacific Power Planning and Conservation Act. In April 1987, F ERG ruled that the costs of construction, maintenance and decommissioning of the Washington Pu blic Power Service nuclear plant'ould be passed on to the California utilities. This ruling aff't ects the 1981-8R rates of BPA. FERC also ruled relative to the 1983 rates that there was no atutory prohibition against undue discrimination by BPA and further, that access to BPA transmission lines was not a rate issue and therefore FERC had no jurisdiction to decide it. In each of the rate proceedings, the Department has paid the interim BPA rates and seeks refunds based on the respective challenges. (Central Lincoln People's Utility District v. Johnson, et al. and Departmeri t of Water and Poiver, et al. v. BPA.)
(10) See "Litigation" in the Offlcial Statement for a description of certain litigation, entitled Th urston et al. v. Southern Califoniia Public Poiver Authority et al., concerning the Department's
,pa rticipation in the Southern California Public Power Authority interest in the Palo Verde Project.
(11) A lawsuit was filed. in August 1982 by the, State of Nevada in the United States District C ourt for the District of Nevada against the United States, the Western Area Power Administra-tion and the California allottees of power from Hoover Dam seeking declaratory and injunctive
" relief, the principal aim of which is to obtain a declaration that the State of Nevada is entitled to e-third of the total electrical output of Hoover Dam from and after June 1, 1987 for a period of years. The Department and other California allottees of Hoover Dam power who received 65%
B-15
of such power intend to resist vigorously this claim of the State of Nevada. The State of Arizona has intervened in-this case, making a similar claim to that of the State of Nevada. A motion to intervene in the lawsuit filed by the California cities of Anaheim, Azusa, Banning, Colton and Riverside was granted. The litigation was placed off calendar and the parties entered into negotiations which. culminated on August 17, 1984, when the President signed into law the Hoover Pow'er Plant Act of 1984 in which a settlement of the above litigation was approved by Congress.
The electric service contracts with all the allottees have now been executed, and the lawsuit has been dismissed. (Nevada v. United States, et al.)
(12) The Department is a party defendant in the action entitled Long 'et al. v. Salt River Project, et al. and City of Phoenix, et al. v. John F. Long described in the Official Statement under the caption "Litigation Project-Belated Litigation."
(13) In February 1986, litigation was initiated in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon by ASEA, Inc. ("ASEA"), the contractor for the design and constructipn of the AC/DC converter stations of the Southern Transmission System, against two of its subcontractors, CH2M Hill, Inc. and CH2M Hill Northwest, Inc., ("CH2M Hill Corporations" ) alleging that fraud and breaches of contract by such subcontractors damaged ASEA in connection with the Project as well as in connection with work that ASEA had separately contracted to perform for the Department at the Sylmar Converter Station, the southern terminus of the Intertie.
The CH2M Hill Corporations filed an answer and counter-claim against ASEA and its parent corporation, ASEA, A.B., alleging, among other things, that any injury so suffered by ASEA relating to the Project resulted from various acts including the decision to change the planned Southern Transmission System from a double bipole to a single bipole system. The CH2M Hill Corporations then Bled a motion seeking to join the'Department a's a third-p'arty defendant in this litigation. (ASEA, Inc. v. CH2M Hill Northivest, Inc. et al.) I(
pN ASEA was the prime contractor for IPA on a contract for about.$ 270 million for the design and construction of converter stations for the Southern Transmission System portion of the IPP.
The Department was the administrator of such contract for IPA. ASEA. was also the prime contractor for the Sylmar Converter Station in connection with the upgrade of the Intertie. The defendants named in the Oregon District Court action, CH2M Hill Corporations, were subcon-tractors of ASEA in connection with both such contracts.
Shortly after the suit was filed, CH2M Hill, Inc. filed with the Department's Commission a claim for indemnity for its liability to ASEA as alleged in the District Court of Oregon, in an amount in excess of $ 24 million. Investigations of the claim by the Department disclosed that ASEA and CH2M Hill, Inc. may be liable to the Department and to IPA for compensatory damages in excess of $ 85 million and punitive damages of $ 50 million, and that ASEA sought in the Oregon District Court action to be reimbursed by its subcontractors for claims by IPA and the Depart-ment. Accordingly, the claim filed with the Department was rejected. An action was commenced by the Department on May 30, 1986, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California to recover such damages from ASEA and CH2M Hill, Inc. An additional related action was Bled against IPA by ASEA in the United States District Court in Utah, and IPA has counterclaimed for damages in that action. In addition, CH2M Hill, Inc. has filed a third party complaint naming the Department as a defendant in the Oregon District Court action. As a consequence, the Department Bled a motion with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to have th'e cases consolidated for pretrial in the United States District Court for the Central District of California which motion was granted. All cases have now been consolidated. A settlement agreement has been executed among IPA, ASEA and the Department. IPA and the Department have agreed to pay ASEA $ 9 million for contractor's work perforined by ASEA (including interest and escalation) and $ 3.3 million in interest and escalation on late payments paid by IPA. Such payments were made in December 1987. ASEA, in return, has agreed to perform the contract work in question and fully indemnify IPA, the Department and the City of Los Angeles against all claims
with CH2M Hill, Inc. All parties have released claims related to this matter against each other.
(Department of Water and Poiver v. ASZA Inc.; ASEA Inc. v. CH2M Hill, Inc.; ASEA Inc. v. IPA).
,(14) In June 1985, an explosion at the Mohave Generating Station destroyed the control room and caused the deaths of several Mohave employees. The Department holds a 20% share pursuant to the Mohave Operating Agreement (the "Agreement" ) and would be liable for that portion of any settlement or judgment. Pursuant to the Agreement, Southern California Edison Company, the Project Manager, had obtained insurance for the participants covering up to a maximum of $ 30 million with a self-insured residual of $ 2 million (The Department's 20% share of which would be $ 400,000). The Department has received more than 30 claims from over 50 individuals and corporations seeking in excess of $ 70 million. The participants allege that they are immune from civil liability to the employees as employers pursuant to the workers compensation laws of California and Nevada. The Mohave participants are proceeding agairist the manufacturers for property damage in the amount of $ 123 million and indemnity. Litigation has commenced related to this incident. (Russell C. Allen v. Bechtel Poioer Corp.)
(15) The participants in the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station brought suit in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona seeking significant monetary damages for breach of contract by Combustion Engineering Incorporated because of the failure of a backup water supply system, which needed to be redesigned, resulting in delay of completion of the project. Combustion Engineering has cross-complained for significant monetary damages. The case has not'yet been set for trial. (Arizona Public Service Co., et al. v. Combustion Engineering Inc.)
(16) Other claims and suits arising out of the ownership and operation of the Power System of the Department are pending against the Department for alleged deaths, personal injuries and property damage, and for alleged liabilities arising out of other matters, all of which are of a nature usually incident to the conduct of such a utility business. Until these claims and suits ar'e disposed of, the Department's liability, if any, in these matters cannot be determined. Realistic evaluation of total exposure is complicated by the fact that California courts have adopted the rule of pure comparative negligence.
Financial The following Summary of Financial Operations and Summary Balance Sheet have been prepared by the Department based upon audited financial statements and accounting records of the Power System for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1986 through 1988, and upon unaudited financial statements and accounting records for the twelve months ended September 30, 1988.

DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER POWER SYSTEM CITY OF LOS ANGELES 0 NOTES TO I'INANCIALSTATEMENTS ~
(Data subsequent to June 30, 1988 are unaudited)
Note A Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Department The Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles exists under and by virtue of the City Charter enacted in 1925 as a separate proprietary agency of the City. The Power System is responsible for the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power for sale in the City.
Financial statement presentation The financial statements of the Power System are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and substantially in conformity with accounting principles prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission except for the method of accounting for contributions in aid of construc-tion described below. The Department is not subject,to regulations of such commissions.
Utilityplant The costs of additions to utility plant and replacements of retired units of property are capitalized. Costs include labor, materials and allocated indirect charges such as engineering, supervision, transportation and construction equipment, retirement plan contributions and certain administrative and general expenses. Repairs and minor replacements are charged to maintenance
'expense. The original cost of property retired, plus removal cost, less salvage, is charged to accumu-
=
lated depreciation.
Alloicance forfunds used during construction (AFUDC) AFUDC represents the cost of borrowed funds used for the construction of new facilities. AFUDC is capitalized as part'of the cost of utility plant and is credited to income as a reduction of debt expenses, but does not represent cash earnings.
The average AFUDC rates were 7,7%, 7.9% and 8.8% for twelve months ending September 30, 1988, fiscal years 1988 and 1987, respectively.
Depreciation Depreciation expense is computed by the straight-line method for all major projects completed after Jul'y 1, 1973 and for all office and shop structures, related furniture and equipment, and transportation and construction equipment. Depreciation for facilities completed prior to this date is provided by the 5% sinking furid method based on estimated service lives. Depreciation provision as a per'centage of average depreciable plant was 3.3%, 3.2% and 3.2% for twelve months ending September 30, 1988, fiscal years 1988 and 1987, respectively.
'uclear fuel Nuclear fuel is amortized and charged to Fuel for Generation in the Statement of Income on the basis of actual thermal energy 'produced relative to total thermal energy expected to be produced over the life of the fuel. Under the provisions of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the, Department is charged one mill per kilowatt-hour on its share of electricity produced by the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. The Department records this charge as a current year expense. ',
Nuclear decommissioning Decommissioning of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, in which the Power System-has an ownership interest, is projected to start sometime after 2027. The Power System is providing for its share of the estimated future decommissioning costs over the life of the'nuclear power plant through annual charges to expense.
"A Nuclear Decommissioning Fund has been established. The semi-annual deposits to the fund plus the interest earnings on the fund balance are expected to be sufficient to pay the Department's share of decommissioning costs.
/
Deposits icith City Treasurer Deposits with the City Treasurer included $ 149 million and $ 167 million at September 30, 1988 and June 30, 1988 which were invested in short-term securities under the B-24
City Treasurer's pooled investment program, whereby available funds of the City and its independent operating departments are invested on a combined basis. These investments are valued at cost, which approximates market.
Fuel for generation Coal inventories are stated at average cost. Fuel oil inventories are stated at cost, using the last-in, first-out method.
Contribiitions in aid ofconstruction Under the provisions of the City Charter, amounts received from customers and others for constructing utility plant are combined with retained income reinvested in the business to represent equity for purposes of computing the Power System's borrowing limits.
Accordingly, contributions in aid of construction are shown in the accompanying balance sheet as an equity account and are not offset against utility plant. Depreciation for the related utility plant is expensed.
Revenues Revenues consist of billings to customers for consumption of electric energy and include amounts resulting from an energy cost adjustment formula designed to permit the full recovery of energy costs. The Department projects these costs to establish the energy cost recovery component of customer billings and any difference between billed and actual energy costs, resulting in over- or under-recovery of energy costs, is adjusted in subsequent billings.
The Power System recognizes energy costs in the period incurred and accrues for estimated unbilled revenues for energy sold but not billed at the end of a fiscal year.
The Power System's rates are established by rate ordinance approved by the City Council. The Power System sells electric energy to other Departments of the City at regular rates provided in the ordinance.
Shared operating expenses The Power System shares certain administrative functions with the Department's Water System. Generally, the costs of these functions are allocated on the basis of benefits provided to the Systems.
Debt expenses Debt premium, discount and issue expenses are deferred and amortized to income over the lives of the related issues.
Statement of Cash Flours During the year ended June 30, 1988, the Department implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows". Accordingly, fiscal year 1987 amounts have been restated to conform with the fiscal year 1988 presentation.
Note B Revenue Certificates At September 30, 1988 and June 30, 1988, the average interest rate of revenue certificates payable was 5.3% and 4.9% with various maturities of up to 154 and 242 days, respectively. The Department has an unsecured standby line of credit of $ 90 million which may be used if the certificates cannot be refinanced as they mature.
B-25
Note C Jointly-owned Utility Plant The Power System has an undivided interest in several electrical generating stations and transmission systems which are jointly-owned with other utilities. Each project participant has provided its portion of the total construction financing. The Power System's proportionate share of construction and improvement costs is included in its balance sheet at September 30, 1988 as follows (dollar amounts in millions):

The proportionate share of these expenses is included in the appropriate categories of operating expenses.,
Note D Long-term Debt Long-term debt outstanding at September 30, 1988, consisted of revenue bonds and notes due serially in varying annual amounts through 2028. Interest rates, which vary among individual maturi-ties, averaged approximately 6.6% and 6.7% at September 30, 1988 and June 30, 1988. The revenue bonds "generally are callable ten years after issuance. Scheduled annual principal maturities during the five years succeeding June 30, 1988 are $ 54 million, $ 52'million, $ 53 million, $ 55 million and $ 56 million, respectively.
In fiscal year 1987, the Power System sold advance refunding bonds totaling $ 48 million. Until the bonds to be refunded are called, interest on the advance refunding bonds is payable from interest earned on securities'of the United States government purchased out of the proceeds of the sales and held in an escrow account with Citibank, N.A., New York. At September 30, 1988, $ 48 million of this escrow account has been offset against the advance refunding bonds in the accompanying balance sheet (during the twelve months ending September 30, 1988, there were no refunded, bonds redeemed). After the monies in the escrow account are applied to redeem the bonds to be called, principally in 1994, interest on the advance refunding bonds will be payable from Power System revenues.
Note E Shared Operating Expenses Operating expenses shared with the Water System were $ 241 million, $ 256 million and $ 235 million for twelve months ending September 30, 1988, fiscal years 1988 and 1987, of which $ 168 million,
$ 167 million and $ 153 million were allocated to the Power System.
Note F Employee Benefits The Department has a funded contributory retirement, disability and death benefit insurance plan covering substantially all of its employees. Plan benefits are generally based on years of service, age at retirement and the employees'ighest 12 consecutive months of salary before retirement. The B-26
Department funds retirement plan costs on a level premium actuarial method as determined by the plan's independent actuary. For funding purposes, prior service costs relating to the plan are amortized generally over a 30-year period ending June 20, 2003.
The Power System was allocated approximately 76% of the plan's total costs for Bscal year 1987, and 74% for Bscal year 1986 amounting to $ 102 million and $ 91 million, respectively. As of June 30, 1987, the actuarially computed present value of accumulated retirement plan benefits attributable to the Power System aggregated $ 1,233 million, discounted at 8%, of which substantially all were vested.
In fiscal year 1988, the Department adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers'ccounting for Pensions". The adoption of this statement did not materially affect the Department's results of operations. As required by the new standard, retirement cost is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method. Total benefit plan costs for Bscal year 1988 for the Power System include the following (amounts in millions):
Service cost . $ 35 Interest, cost on projected benefit obligation ....... 120 Actual return on plan assets............. (31)
Net amortization and deferral . ~37)
Net retirement plan cost 87 Disability and death benefit plan costs and admin-istrative expenses........................ 12 Total Benefit Plan Costs ............ 8 99 The plan's funded status at June 30, 1988 allocated to the Power System is as follows (amounts in millions):
Actuarial present value of benefit obligations:
Vested benefits . $ 1,300 Non-vested benefits . :-5 Accumulated benefit 'obligation 1,305 Projected future compensation amount ............ 227 Projected benefit obligation. 1)532 Plan assets at fair value 1,163 Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets . 369 Unrecognized net gain and effects of changes in assumptions 25 Unamortized net obligation at adoption of FAS 87 .. ~322)
Accrued pension liability 72 The projected benefit obligation at June 30, 1988 was determined using a discount rate of 8.25%
and an assumed rate of increase in future compensation of 6%. The 1988 pension cost was determined using a long-term rate of return on plan assets of 8%. Plan assets consist primarily of corporate and government bonds, common stocks, mortgaged-backed securities and short-term investments.
In addition to the retirement plan, the Department provides certain health care benefits to active and retired employees. Health care costs are expensed as paid under a self-insured plan. The cost of providing such benefits to retired employees, net of employee contributions, amounted to $ 9 million and $ 7 million for Bscal years 1988 and 1987, respectively.

Note G Commitments and Contingencies Payments to fhe reserue fund of the Citing Under the provisions of the City Charter, the Power 0
System transfers funds at its discretion to the reserve fund of the City. Such payments are not in lieu of-taxes and are recorded as distributions of retained income. The Department expects to make payments" of $ 78 million in fiscal, year 1989 from the Power System to the reserve fund of the City.
Long-term purchased pottier and transmission contracts The Department has entered into a number of energy and transmission service contracts which involve substantial commitments. These include an agreement with the Intermountain Power Agency (IPA), a Utah State Agency, for purchase of energy from the Intermountain Power Project (IPP) for which the Power System has served as the project manager and operating agent. The Department's total interest in IPP includes a 44.6% "take or pay" obligation and an excess power contract for 18.2% for, a total of 62.8%. The Department also has agreements with the Southern California Public. Power Authority (SCPPA), a California Joint Powers Agency, for 67% of SCPPA's 5.9% entitlement (representing a net 4% participation) to the energy generated at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station and for 59.5%%uo'n the capacity of the Southern Transmission System, which transmits energy from IPP in Utah to Southern California. Significant data related to these agreements, which are scheduled to expire from 2022 to 2027, at September 30, 1988 are as follows:
Department Share of Total Bonds Capacity Outstanding Contracts ( cga aus) ~(ilHo s Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (through SCPPA) ................ 145 $ 1,030 Intermountain Power Project 1,004 $ 4,931 Southern Transmission System (for IPP power through SCPPA) .......... 1,142 $ 999 All these agreements require the Power System to make certain minimum payments which are, based upon debt service requirements. While these payments are fixed charges (of approximately $ 330 million in each of the next five years), the Department is also required to pay additional amounts (of approximately $ 120 million in each of the next five years) for operating and maintenance costs related to actual deliveries of energy under these agreements. Total payments under these contracts were approximately $ 320 million and $ 260 million in fiscal years 1988 and 1987, respectively. These aggregate purchased power costs are recovered through the 'energy cost recovery component of customer billings.
The Department also has a contract through 2017 with the U.S. Department of Energy for the purchase of available energy generated at the Hoover Power Plant. The Department's share of capacity at Hoover approximates 500 megawatts, Nuclear insurance As a participant in the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, the Depart-ment could be subject to assessment of retrospective insurance premium adjustments in the event of a nuclear incident at Palo Verde or at any licensed nuclear reactor in'he United States.
Litigation A number of claims and suits are pending against the Department for alleged damages to persons and property and for other alleged liabilities arising out of its operations. In the opinion of management, the uninsured liability under these actions would not materially affect the Power System's financial position as of September 30, 1988.
Note H Receivable from Intermountain Power Project As of July 1, 1988, an amendment to an IPA bond resolution provides for the use of surplus construction funds from IPP. As a purchaser of energy from IPP, the Department recorded a receivable of $ 109.5 million representing its share of such surplus funds. The funds are scheduled to be received in monthly installments of $ 5 million during the next two years and will be used to reduce the Department's future purchased power expense. At September 30, 1988, the receivable and related liability for purchased power credits (Other Deferred Credits) amounted to $ 94.5 million.

SUMMARY
OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE POWER SALES CONTRACTS The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Power Sales Contracts entered into between the Authority and each of the Project Participants. Except as described in this summary, all of the Power Sales Contracts are identical in all material respects. This summary is not to be considered a full statement of the terms of such PowerSales Contracts and accordingly is quali6ed by reference thereto and is subject to the full text thereof. Capitalized terms not defined in the OfFicial Statement have the meanings set forth in the Power Sales Contracts.
Entitlement to Capacity During the Start-up Period and any Base Load Period of any generating unit of the Project, each Project Participant is obligated to take delivery of its Project Entitlement Share of the product of the Authority Percentage multiplied by the Net Energy Generation of such generating unit. After. the Date of Firm Operation of each generating unit of the Project, each Project Participant is entitled to schedule for its account capacity and energy of each generating unit of the Project up to the amount tained by multiplying its Project Entitlement Share by the Authority Percentage and the Available
Generating Capability of each generating unit of the Project; provided that such scheduling shall not reduce the Project Participant's obligations described in the preceding sentence. A Project Participant may arrange to dispose of capacity or energy from the Project to which it is entitled, but any such arrangements will not affect its obligations under its Power Sales Contract. The delivery of capacity and energy from the Generating Station will be scheduled by (or on behalf of) the Authority and the Project Participants in advance with the Operating Agent and accounted for on the basis of such advance schedules. Whenever any Project Participant schedules for its account capacity and energy from a generating unit of the Project, the Agent, acting on behalf of the Authority, unless otherwise established under the Participation Agreement, shall additionally schedule for each Project Participant a percentage of the Zero Net Load as efFective during the period that such generating unit is operated to meet such schedule, equal to the product of the Project Participant's Project Entitlement Share multiplied'by the Authority Percentage. The capacity and energy of the Project shall be scheduled or controlled by the Project =-Participants under practices and procedures approved by the Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of the Participation Agreement.
Nature of Obligation Each Project Participant is obligated to make the payments required under its Power Sales Contract solely from the revenues of its electric system as a cost of purchased electric capacity and energy and an oper'ating expense. Each such Project Participant has covenanted to include in its annual power system budget for each fiscal year during the term of its Power Sales Contract an appropriation from the revenues of its electric system sulFicient to pay all amounts required to be paid during such fiscal year under such Power Sales Contract. The Project Participants'bligations, which are several and not joint, to make payments of Monthly Power Costs under their respective Power Sales Contracts are not subject to reduction or offset ifthe Project is not operating or operable (or has been completed) or if its output is suspended, interfered with, reduced or curtailed or terminated in whole or in part. In addition, the Project Participants'ayment obligations under the Power Sales Contracts are not subject to any reduction or offset and are not conditional upon the performance or nonperformance by any party of any agreement for any cause whatever.
Term The Power Sales Contracts shall constitute a binding obligation of the parties thereto from and after the effective date and the term of such Power Sales Contracts shall end on October 31, 2030 or such later date as all Bonds and the interest thereon shall have been paid in full or adequate provision for such payment shall have been made, unless terminated sooner in accordance with provisions for termination or amendment described'below.
Required Payments For a discussion on Monthly Power Costs and the payment obligations of the respective Project Participants with respect thereto, see "Security and Sources of Payment for the Bonds Power Sales.
Contracts".
Rate Covenants of Project Participants Each Project Participant has c'ovenanted in its Power Sales Contract to establish, maintain and collect rates and charges for the electric service it furnishes so as to provide revenues which, together with its available electric system reserves, are sufficient to enable it to pay all amounts payable under its Power Sales Contract and to pay all other amounts payable from, and all lawful charges against or liens on, its electric system revenues.
The Board of Directors The Authority's administered by a Board of Directors comprised of the chief executive olHcer (or his designee) of the electr'ic utility of each member of the Authority. The Project Participants are entitled to participate in Project matters in accordance with voting rights given to them as members of the Authority. See "Southern California Public Power Authority Organization and Management" in the ORcial Statement. The Authority, through its Board of Directors, has the following duties and responsibilities, among others: (1) provide liaison among the Project Participants, (2) attempt to resolve any disputes among the Authority, the Project'articipants, the Agent, and the Project Manager or. the Operating Agent relating to the Project, (3) review, modify and approve (i) the practices and procedures to be followed by the Project Participants relating to the scheduling and controlling of capacity and energy from the Project, (ii) all Capital Improvements and the budgets therefor and provisions for financing thereof, (iii) all amendments and supplements to the Project Agreements and (iv) the Project's insurance program, (4) approve all consultants or advisors on Bnancial and legal matters that may be retained by the Authority, (5) approve the issuance of each series of Bonds and evidences of indebtedness issued in anticipation of the issuance of Bonds and (6) perform other functions provided for in the Power Sales Contracts "and the other Project Agreements.
Restrictions on Disposition
'A Project Participant may not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its electric system except upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, that (i) the Project Participant assigns its interest under its Power Sales Contract to the purchaser or lessee of its electric system and said purchaser or lessee assumes all obligations of the Project Participant under the Power Sales Contract, (ii) the senior debt of the purchaser or lessee is rated in one of the two highest ategories by at least one nationally recognized bond rating agency, (iii) an independent engineer elected by the Authority delivers an opinion that such purchaser or lessee is reasonably able to charge and collect rates and charges required to meet its obligations under the Power Sales Contract, (iv) it is determined by the Board of Directors that the disposition will not adversely affect the value of such Power Sales Contract as security for the Bonds and (v) Bond Counsel has rendered an opinion that such disposition will not adversely affect the Federal Tax Exemption.
Defaults and Remedies The failure of a Project Participant to perform any of its obligations, including the obligation to, make required payments, under its" Power Sales Contract will constitute a default. In the event of a default or inability to perform by a Project Participant under its Power Sales Contract, the Authority may proceed to enforce the Project Participant's covenants or obligations thereunder, or seek damages
'for the breach thereof, by action at law or equity, or ifa payment due under the Power Sales Contract remains unpaid when due, the Authority may, upon 120 days'ritten notice to the Project Participant, discontinue, the delivery of capacity and energy to, and the use of Project facilities by, such Project Participant while the default continues. Except as a result of a transfer of the defaulting Project, Participant's rights to delivery of capacity and energy and the use of Project facilities described below, the discontinuance of delivery of capacity and energy to, and the use of Project facilities by, a defaulting Project Participant by the Authority will not reduce the obligation of, such Project Participant to make payments under its Power Sales Contract. In the event the delivery of capacity and energy 'to, and use of Project facilities by, a Project Participant in default is discontinued, the Authority shall transfer to all other Project Participants which are not in default and which so request, a pro rata portion of, the defaulting Project Participant's rights to delivery of capacity and energy and use of Project facilities. In the case of such a transfer, the Project Participants accepting additional rights to delivery of capacity and energy and use of Project facilities shall assume the defaulting Project'articipant's obligations with respect to the rights which are transferred to them. In the event
~
ss than all of a defaulting Project Participant's rights to delivery of capacity and energy and use of
~
roject facilities'are transferred to non-defaulting Project. Participants, the Authority shall, to the
extent possible, dispose of such remaining rights on the best terms readily available, and in such a manner as, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, does not adversely affect the eligibility for exemption from federal income. taxes of the interest payable on the Bonds. The obligation of the defaulting Project Participant to the Authority shall be reduced to the extent that the Authority'eceives payments with respect to the rights of such Project Participant which are transferred.
Termination or Amendment As long as any Bonds issued under the Bond Indenture are outstanding or until provision has been made for the payment of any Bonds'outstanding in accordance with the Bond Indenture, the Power Sales Contracts may not be termin'ated or amended in any manner which will reduce the amount of or extend the time for the payments which are pledged as security for the Bonds or which will impair or adversely affect the rights of the holders of the'Bonds. Each Power Sales Contract also provides that the Authority-may not, without the consent of each of the Project Participants, amend or supplement the Bond Indenture (except to provide for the issuance of additional Bonds), to affect the rights and obligations of the Project Participants under the Power Sales Contracts or to be to the disadvantage of the Project Participants or to result in increased Monthly Power Costs to the Project Participants.
Contracts Subject to Bond Indenture It has been recognized by the Project Participants in the Power Sales Contracts that the Authority, in planning, financing, acquiring, constructing and operating the Project, must comply with the requirements of the Bond Indenture and the other Project Agreements and all licenses, permits and regulatory approvals necessary therefor, and the Project Participants have therefore agreed that the Power Sales Contracts are subject to the provisions of the Bond Indenture and the other Project Agreements and such licenses, permits,and approvals.

If a dispute arises between any of the Participants under the Project Agreements, any Participant may call for submission of the dispute to binding arbitration.
Interconnections and Transmission Lines Power and Energy generated by ANPP shall be delivered to the Participants by means of (i) one or more ANPP High Voltage Switchyards to be constructed and (ii) such high voltage transmission lines as the Participants or any of them determines to construct, operate and maintain to interconnect ANPP with either existing or planned transmission systems owned or to be owned, and operated, by one or more Participants or any other party with whom any Participant has or will have a right to interconnect according to the principles established in the Participation Agreement.
Construction, Operation a'nd Maintenance Costs The Operating Agent will establish a separate Operating Account for the payment of all costs of operation and Capital Improvements of the ANPP. Each Participant shall advance payments to the Operating Account on the basis of bills it receives which reflect such Participant's share of the costs C-20
Operating Work and Capital Improvements determined in accordance with the terms of the Participa-tion Agreement. All payments due under any Nuclear Fuel Agreement, and for operating emergencies, shall be advanced to the Operating Account as required by each Participant. Each Participant is obligated to advance funds to the Operating Agent to make payments of operating and maintenance costs when due.
During the construction period each Participant is obligated to advance to the Project Manager its share of funds required for construction for deposit to the Construction Account. Each Participant shall pay weekly in advance its share (equal to its Generation Entitlement Share) of all construction costs in accordance with monthly forecasts of estimated weekly expenses prepared by the Project Manager. Upon completion of all construction, the Project Manager will prepare a final completion report of all costs of construction and the Participants will make such payments or adjustments as required so that the costs of construction are shown on the basis of ownership interests, If a Participant shall dispute any portion of any ainount"specified in a request for the funds, the Participant shall make the total payment specified in the request pending a protest of such payment. If it is determined that a Participant has made advances which are greater or less than its share of the costs, the difFerence shall be paid or refunded to such Participant.
Transfer of Interest Each Participant shall have the right to transfer or assign all or. part of its Generation Entitlement Share, together with an equal interest in the ownership of ANPP and in the Project Agreements, to any person or entity engaged in the generation, transmission or distribution of energy. Each Participant shall also have the right, in certain circumstances, to mortgage or create security interests in, and sell and leaseback, its Generation Entitlement Share and other interests, in connection with its financing of NPP.
Operating Emergency The Operating Agent will advise the Participants when an emergency occurs, and shall submit an estimate of expenses required to restore the availability of each Generating Unit affected. If the uninsured costs of restoration exceed 10% of the original costs, the Operating Agent shall obtain the approval of the Administrative Committee before committing any expenses.

APPENDIX E PROPOSED FORM OF BOND COUNSEL OPINION REGARDING 1989 BONDS Upon delivery of the 1989 Bonds in de8i'nitive form, Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander R Ferdon, Los Angeles, California, Bond Counsel, proposes to render its Anal approving opinion with respect to such Bonds in substantially the following form:
-(Closing Date)
Board of Directors Southern California Public Power Authority 613 East Broadway Glendale, California 91205 Gentlemen:
We have examined (i) a record of proceedings relating to the issuance of $ 295.005,000 aggregate principal amount of Power Project Revenue Bonds, 1989 Refunding Series A (the "Bonds" ), of Southern California Public Power Authority (the "Authority"), a public entity of the State of California; (ii) the Power Sales Contracts hereinafter referred to; and (iii) such other matters of law as we have deemed necessary to enable us to render the opinions expressed herein. The Bonds are issued under and pursuant to the provisions relating to the joint exercise of powers found in Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code of California, as amended (the "Act")r and under and ursuant to the Indenture of Trust, dated as of July 1, 1981, by and between the Authority and First nterstate Bank of California,'as trustee, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indentur'e of Trust, dated as of August 1, 1982, and as supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture of Trust (the "Tenth Supplemental Indenture" ), dated as of January 1, 1989 (such Indenture of Trust as heretofore amended and supplemented'eing herein called the "Indenture" ).
The Bonds will mature on the dates and in the principal amounts, and bear interest at the respective rates per annum, shown below.

'I The Bonds are dated, and shall bear interest from, January 15, 1989, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture. Interest on the Bonds is payable on January 1 and July 1 in each year, commencing July 1, 1989. The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity in the manner and upon the terms set forth in the Indenture. The Bonds are in fully registered form without interest coupons in denominations of $ 5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, are interchangeable and transferable as rovided in the Indenture and are lettered as provided for each maturity in the Indenture and tmbered from one upward within each maturity.
E-1
The Bonds are issued to provide moneys to advance refund the Refunded Bonds (as defined in the Tenth Supplemental Indenture) all of which were issued to finance a portion of the Cost of Acquisition and Construction of the Initial Facilities (as defined in the Indenture) and to pay certain costs of issuance related to the Bonds. The Authority reserves the right to issue additional bonds under the Indenture on the terms and conditions and for the purposes stated in the indenture. Under the provisions of the Indenture all such bonds may rank equally as to security and payment with the Authority's Outstanding (as de8ined in the Indenture) Power Project Revenue Bonds, 1982 Series A and B, 1983 Series A, 1984 Series A, 1985 Refunding Series A and B, 1986 Refunding Series A and B, and 1987 Refunding Series A (the "Prior Series Bonds" ) and the Bonds.
The Authority has entered into ten separate Power Sales Contracts {the "Power Sales Con-tracts") with the following purchasers (the "Purchasers" ) of capability of the Project (as defined in the Indenture): Department of Water and Power of The City of Los Angeles (the "'Department" ),
Imperial Irrigation District, and the Cities of Riverside, Vernon, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Azusa, Banning and Colton.
We are of the opinion that:
- 1. The Authority is duly created and validly existing under the provisions of the Act and has good right and lawful authority under the Act to acquire and construct the Initial Facilities and provide for the operation and maintenance thereof.
I
- 2. The Authority has the right and power under the Act to enter into the Indenture, and the Indenture has been duly and lawfully authorized by the Authority, is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and is valid and binding upon the Authority and enforceable in accordance with'its terms, and no other authorization for the Indenture is required. The Indenture creates the valid pledge which it purports to create of (i) the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds and any other parity bonds issued under the Indenture, (ii) the Revenues (as de6ned in th Indenture), and (iii) all funds established by- the Indenture (excluding the Decommissioning Account in the Reserve and Contingency Fund) including the investments, ifany, thereof, subject only to the provisions of the Iridenture permitting the application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.
4'.
The Authority is duly authorized and entitled to issue the Bonds, and the Bonds have been duly and validly authorized and issued by the Authority in accordance with the Constitution and statutes of the State of California, including the Act, and the Indenture. The Bonds constitute valid and binding obligations of the Authority as provided in the Indenture, are enforceable in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture and are entitled to the benefits of the Act and the Indenture. The 'Bonds are not an obligation of the State of California, any public agency thereof (other than the Authority), or any member of the Authority or any Purchaser and neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of California or any public agency thereof or any member of the, Authority or any Purchaser is pledged for the payment of the Bonds.
The Bonds rank equally as to security and payment with the Prior Series Bonds.
- 4. The Authority has the right and power to enter into and carry out its obligations under the Power Sales Contracts and has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Power Sales Contracts which constitute valid and binding agreements of the Authority enforceable in accordance with their terms.
- 5. Under the Constitution and laws of the State of California, each Power Sales Contract constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser party thereto enforceable in accor-dance with its terms. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have made no investigation of, and do not express any opinion with respect to, the following as they may relate to the valid, binding and enforceable nature of such Power Sales Contracts: (i) the legal existence or formation of any Purchaser or the incumbency of any official or officer thereof; (ii) any local or special acts or an ordinance, resolution or other proceedings of any Purchaser, including, without limitation, a
(
E-2
proceedings relating to the negotiation or authorization of any Power Sales Contract or the execution, delivery or performance thereof (except that we have examined the ordinances pursuant to'hich the respective Power Sales Contracts were authorized by the respective Purchasers) (iii) any bond resolution, indenture, contract, debt instrument, agreement or other instrumen< (other than such Power Sales Contracts) or, any governmental order, regulation or rule of or applicable to any Purchaser; (iv) any judicial order, judgment or de'cree in a proceeding to which any Purchaser is a party; or (v) any approval, consent, filing, registration or authorization by or with any regulatory authority or other governmental or public agency, authority or person which may be or has been required for the authorization, execution, delivery or performance by any Purchaser of its Power Sales Contract. The Authority has received, independent from this opinion, opinions with respect to, among other things, the validity and enforceability of the Power Sales Contracts rendered by legal counsel to the respective Purchasers.
- 6. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code" ), establishes certain requirements which must be met subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the"'Bonds for interest thereon to be and remain excluded from Federal gross income. Non-'compliance with such requirements could cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in Federal gross income retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. These requirements include, but are not limited to, provisions which prescribe yield and other limits within which the proceeds of the Bonds and other amounts are to be invested and require that certain investment earnings on the foregoing must be rebated on a periodic basis to the Treasury Department of the United States. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Authority has covenanted to maintain the exclusion from Federal gross income of the interest on the Bonds.
In'our opinion, under existing law, interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxes of the State of California and, assuming compliance with the aforementioned covenant, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for Federal income tax purposes.
We are further of the opinion that under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the Bonds are not "specified private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 57(a) (5) of the Code and, therefore, interest on the Bonds will not be treated as a preference item for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code.
However, we note a portion of the interest on the Bonds owned by corporations may be subject to the Federal alternative minimum tax, which is based in part on adjusted net book income or adjusted current earnings.
- 7. We are further of the opinion that the difference between the principal amount of the Bonds maturing on July 1 in each of the years 2000, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively (the "Discount Bonds" ), and the initial offering price to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers) at which price a substantial amount of such Discount Bonds of the same maturity was sold constitutes original issue discount which is excluded from Federal gross income to the same extent as interest on the Bonds. Further, such original issue discount accrues actuarially on a constant interest rate basis over the term of each Discount Bond and the basis of each Discount Bond acquired at such initial offering price by an initial purchaser of such Discount Bonds will be increased by the amount of such accrued original issue discount.
I
- 8. The Authority has paid (within the meaning of the Indenture) the Redemption Price and interest due and to become due on the Refunded Bonds, at the times and in the manner stipulated therein and in the Indenture, and the Refunded Bonds are no longer Outstanding. Except for the rights of the holders of the Refunded Bonds to payments from the Escrow Fund established by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, the Refunded Bonds have ceased to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under the Indenture, and all covenants, agreements and obligations of the E-3
Authority to the holders of the Refunded Bonds have ceased, terminated, become void and beei discharged and satisBed.
The opinions expressed in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 hereof are qualified to the extent that the enforceability of the Indenture, the Bonds and the Power Sales Contracts, respectively, may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, debt adjustment, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors'ights generally or as to the availability of any particular remedy.
We have examined the executed Bond in registered form numbered R-l, and in our opinion the form of such Bond and its execution are regular and proper.
On July 27, 1982, three individual plaintiffs Bled an action entitled Thurston et al. v. Southern California Public Pouter Authority et al. in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles against the Authority, the Department and other unnamed defendants. In this action, the plaintiffs have.(i) raised certain issues concerning the validity and legality of revenue bonds (which could include the Bonds) proposed to be issued to finance the acquisition and construction by the Authority of an interest in the Palo Verde Project, and certain terms and provisions thereof, and (ii) alleged, among other things, that under the Constitution and statutes of the State of California and/or the Los Angeles City Charter, the obligations undertaken by the Department under its Power Sales Contract constitute (a) a debt requiring approval of the voters of the City under the Constitution of the State of California, which vote was not obtained, (b) a pledge of the Department's revenues in violation of the Los Angeles City Charter and (c) unsound or unlawful business practices, an unsound business'enture or'.are otherwise illegal. As to the issues raised by the plaintiffs concerning the validity and legality of such revenue bonds and certain terms and provisions thereof, described in (i) above, we are of the opinion that such issues are without merit. As to the issues raised by the plaintiffs concerning the obligations undertaken by the Department under its Power Sales Contract, described in (ii) above, the Los Angeles City Attorney is rendering his opinion to the effect that such issues are without merit.
Very truly yours,

POWERS, Chief Finonrlal Offirrr February 2, 1989 Board of Directors Southern California Public Power Authority 613 East Broadway Glendale, California 91205 Gentlemen:
In connection with the Department's purchase from the Southern California Power Public Authority (the "Authority") of a 67% entitlement to the output of the Authority Interest in the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, the Department has conducted certain studies and analyses which have included projections with respect to, among other things, the estimated cost of power from Authority Interest as contained in the Report of the Consulting Engineer set forth as Appendix A to the OScial Statement to which this letter is attached (the "OfBcial Statement" ), the estimated cost and availability of oil and natural gas, future load growth in The City of Los Angeles, and the estimated uture power system revenue requirements necessary to satisfy its cost of such purchase. The epartment has also compared the projected cost of power from the Authority Interest with the projected cost of power from its existing facilities.
Based upon these studies and analyses, we are of the opinion that:
- 1. The Department's share of the output from the Authority Interest will, over time, be economically beneBcial to the Department in displacing base load oil- and natural gas-Bred generation in the Los Angeles basin;
- 2. The projected cost of power to the Department from the Authority Interest makes such power economically attractive in the long term to the Department when compared with the projected price levels of oil and natural gas and with the projected cost of power from other alternative resources which may be available to the Department; and
- 3. For the period through 7une 30, 1993, the Department's electric system revenues will be sufBcient to enable it to pay the Authority all amounts payable under the Department's Power Sales Contract and to pay all other amounts payable from, and all liens on and lawful charges against, the Department's power system revenues.
