1 Q.
Please identify the exhibits you are sponsorire in this proceedirq.
2 A.
I am sponsoring the following exhibits:
3 Exhibit A -
(JEC-1) 4 Exhibit A-(JEC-2) 5 Q. Were the foregoing exhibits prepared by you or unde'r your supervision?
6 A.
Yes, they were.
7 Q. Would you please discuss Exhibit A-(JHC-1) entitled, " Potential 8
Savings Frem Specific Appliances?"
9 A.
Yes.. This exhibit shows the potential annual savings a residential 10 customer could realize on these experimental time'-of-day rates by 11 shifting the use of specific appliances frem the on-peak period to 12 the off-peak period. These potential savires represent the maximum avaihble since the underlying assu=ption was that the customer would 13 ik new use Go appliance during the off-peak period. The annual energy costs for each of these selected appliances under the Co=pany's exist-15 ing Resid ntial Rate "A" is shown in Colu=n (b) of this exhibit. This 16 was calcuhted by cultiplying the approximate annual usage for each of 17 Gese applian es shcun in Colu=n (a) times 3.67p which is the average 18 e st per Wh for 550 Wh excluding the service charge. The annual 19 energy costs shown in Column (c) are based on 2.5p per Wh which is 20 the off-peak rate for Experimental Rate "X-1".
The annual energy costs 21 for Experinental Rate "X-2" shown in Colu=n (d) are based on the off-22 peak energy charge of 2.4p per wh. Colu=ns (e) and (f) represent the 23 2h '
maximum avaihble sav5.rgs for each of these appliances under Experi-mental Rates "X-1" and "X-2" respectively.
25 t
CLDER 4
1 Looking first at the dishwasher, this appliance currently costs 2
approximate]y $13.21 in annual energy costs to operate. Tpis is based 3
on an annual usage of.360 Brh or 30 MTh per month. If the customer 4
were to run this appliance only during the specified off-peak hours 5
then he could possibly save as much as $4.57 per ydar on Rate. "X-2" 6
and $4.21 per year en Rate "X-1".,
7 The current annual energy cost for an electric range is estimated 8
to be approxinately $43.12. These costs could be reduced by over 305 9
if it were used culy during the off-peak period. While it is highly 10 unlikely that all cocking and baking could b3 don'e during the off-peak 11 period, a large portion of this such as baking, canning, and other 12 such uses not directly associated with the preparation of specific meals could be. However, since it is i=possible to deter =ine exactly 3
14 hev much this would be, the estinated available annual savings of 15
$13.74 for Rate "X-1" and $14.92 for Rate "X-2" assumes that the total 16 annual usage of 1,175 ETh has been shifted to the off-peak period.
17 The electric clothes dryer is another large user of electric 18 energy which offers the customer a potential to save on his annual 19 electric bill. Currently it is estinated that a customer who cims an 20 electric dryer spends $36.33 per year in energy costs to operate it.
21 If he were to only operate it during the specified off-peak hours he 22 could save almost $12 per year or $1 per month. The washing nachine, 23 while not as large an energy user as.the other appliances, still 24 '
offers the custcmer a snall potential savings of slightly over $1 per 25 year.
6
CLDER 5
4 1
The electric water heater uses well over 4,000 kNh annually and 2
therefore affords the customer the greatest potential savings. Be-3 cause this appliance is used to heat water for many household needs, 4
the chances of being abic to shift 100% of its usage to off-peak is 5
realistically impessible. However, if the customer were to-do his-6 clothes washing and dish washing,off-peak as I have suggested earlier, 7
it would naturally follow that the ene w used to heat the water for 8
these uses would be off-peak as well. In addition, such things as 9
showers and baths which use large a=ounts of het water could be taken 10 during the off-peak periods.
11 I would like to point out that these potential savings are in no 12 way gua2nnteed and will differ with every custemer. The other appli-13 ances and energy utilization equip =ent that a custemer has will affect 14 his usage pattern. 'When and how often he uses these appliances will 15 have a significant impact on any savings that may be realized. In 16 addition, any potential savings is not 144ted to these appliances 17 alone, as there are many other electric appliances which, if their 18 usage was shifted from the on-peak period to the off-peak period, could result in' a savings to the customer. These five appliances were 19 20 selected on the basis that their use is not necessarily tied to a 21 specific time of day and therefore provide the greatest potential for 1
22 off-peak use.

CLIIER 6
1 Q.
Would you describe the theory behind the design of these experimental 2
rater?
3 A.
Yes. The theorf used in designing these rates was that the costs 16 relating to production and transmission facilities would be on-peak 5
with the costs associated with the distribution facilities being 6
spread equally to each customer. ' The costs relating to fuel' and 7
purchased and interchange power were assigned to on-peak and off-peak 0
with on-peak being two =111s higher. These experimental rates were 9
designed to produce the same revenues by class as tue co=pany's 10 present standard rates, based on the average distribution of consu=p-11 tion between on-peak and off-peak periods. In other words, a sample 12 custo=er will pay the same a=ount under the experi= ental rate if his 13 percent on-peak usage is the sa=e as the average percent on-peak 116 consu=ption of the total rate group. Details of these calculations 15 can be found in n:y work papers filed with the Application Januar/ 13, 1977 16 Q.
Would you now discuss the experimental rates the=selves which are in-17 cluded in Exhibit A-(JHc-5)?
18 A.
Yes. This is a co=plete set of the Company's proposed time-of-day 19 experimental rates. Eate "x-1" is for residential service with the 20 on-peak period being 5:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. for the calendar conths 21 of October through Februar/ cnd 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. for the calendar 22 months of March through September. All weekends are considered off-23 peak. The rate has the sa=e service charge as the existing residential 216 rate of $2.50 per conth. The on-peak energy charge is 8.50p per Elh
CLIIER 7
1 and the off-peak energy charge is 2.50p per Eih. This is approxi-2 mately a 3:1 ratio of on-peak to off-peak. Presently, these custc=ers 3
pay on the average of 3.67p per Zih.
4 Rate "X-2" is for residential service as well, but the on-peak 5
peried is 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. for all calendar months with the 6
weekends again being considered off-peak. The rate has a service charge 7
of $2.50 per month with an on-peak energy charge of 4.60# per Eih and 8
an off-peak energy charge.of 2. hop per ETh. This is a ratio of almost 9
2:1. Because of the longer on-peak hours, the on-peak energy charge 10 is less on this rate than "X-1".
11 Rate "X-3" is for residential storage heating service. This use 12 will be separately controlled so that it can only be used for an 8-hour 13 period during the hours of 9:00 P.M. to 9:00 A.M. for all weekdays 14 and all day on the weekends. The rate for this use is 2.40p per Eih 15 which is the sa=e rate for the off-peak use for Rate "X-2".
16 Rate "X-4" is the time-of-day rate cecparabic to the Company's 17 existing General Secondary Service Rate "B".
Rate "B" custc=ers 18 include such types as churches, apartment buildings, gas stations 19 and small eachine shops. The on-peak hours are the same as those con-20 tained in Rate "X-1".
.The proposed service charge of $4.10 per month 21 is the same as that included now in Rate "B".
The on-peak energy 22 charge is ll.OOp per Eih and the off-peak energy charge is 3.25p per 23 Eih. This results in a ratio of over 3:1 of the on-peak rate to the 24 off-peak rate. The average rate being charged our existing Rate "B"
25 customers is 5.55# per ETh.
9
CLIIER 8
1 Rate "X-5" is again structured for Rate "B" except the on-peak 2
hours are 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. for all weekdays. For this rate the 3
on-peak charge is 6.5dd per Wh and the off-peak charge is 3.15p per 4
Wh. This is a ratio cf slightly over 2:1.
5 Rate "X-6" was designed for s=all Rate "C" custc=ers below 100 ET 6
per month who cannot take advantage of the Company's current off-peak 7
hour provision. Rate "C" customers include those custo=cra whose 8
load factor is better than Rate "B" customers and include such types 9
as department stores, super =arkets, schools and large metal fabricating 10 shops. The service charge of $41.00 is the same as the existing
$ ate "C" which has a minimum de=and requirement of 5 ET and a charge 11 12 per W of $8.20. The on-peak hours for Rate "X-6" are the same as 13 those for Rates "X-1" and "X-4".
The on-peak rate is 9.40p per Wh 14 and the off-peak rate is 2.10p per MTh. This is a ratio of almost 15 4.5:1 These rates are comparable to an average rate of 3 91p for 16 our existing Rate "C" customers in this category.
17 Rate "X-7" again is structured for the small Rate "C" customer 18 with the on-peak hours being 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. for all weekdays.
19 The on-peak rate is 5.00p per BTh and the off-peak rate is 2.00d per 20 Wh. This is a ratio of 2.5:1.
21 Rate "X-8" is exactly the sa=e as the Co=pany's existing Rate "C" 22 except time-of-day energy charges are also included in the rate. The 23 2.30p per Wh on-peak charge and the 2.10p per ETh off-peak charge 24 assumes the same 2 mills per ETh difference that are currently in the 25 Company's large pri=ary cou:=ercial and industrial rates.

1 Q.
Mr C11mer, will these experimental rates remain fixed throughout the 2
-test peried?
3 A.
Not necessarily. Thes*e experimental rates include the Company's standard 4
fuel and purchased power adjustment clause and will be subject to any 5
rate changes approved by the Commission in the general levels of the 6
Co=pany's standard' rates, including the fuel and purchased power adjust-7 ment clause.
8 q.
Mr C11mer, does this conclude your direct testi=ony in this proceeding?
9 A.
Yes, it does.
