s A MESSAGE FROM SMUD'S GENERAL MANAGER -
1 In 1997, Cahfornia's electric utility industry moved toward a restructured, open N market environm This meant that SMUD,to remain competitive, had to continue to change the way we did business.
7 Just as importantly, though, we stayed focused on our values as a municipal utility, providing the services -
and suppor' that our customers have come to expect. , y Two historic acts crystallized our efforts to adapt to the emerging marketplace, f irst, we started a ..-
f ;
pilot direct-access program that allows other energy providers and marketers to sell electricity to our customers. Secondly, we began testing the waters for providing electricity to customers outside our service area by signing Raley's and the San Juan Water District to senice agreements. Both of these - -
pilot projects helped us get started in identifying the changs we need to make when and if we expand the programs.
We also iniGted a reengineering process that drastically cut our order delivery time. In examining our business processes we realized the need to completely altcr the way we responded to customer requests for building substations, new connections, street lights and trouble calls, to name a few of the areas that are affected. The results are exciting - customer order fulfillment within Distribution Services cut costs and turnaround times by as much as 35 percent. ;
While all this change was going on, one important aspect of SMUD remained constant. For the I
seventh straight year, the SMUD Board of Directors approved no rate increase. We also brought on-line our newest power plant, CoGen Two, at Proctor & Gamble. This is one of three cogeneration plants that we have developed since 1996.
Through our econon ic development program we helped to attract or retain 15,000 jobs for greater Sacramento during the past two years. We also offered customers competitive rate options that could better fit their needs. A new renewable energy program called Greenergy* gives customers the opportunity to help us replace polluting fossil f uel power with cleaner resources. More than 2,000 customers signed up ;
in the first six months of the program, helping us make a difference. !
. Our f,aancial results were very bright in 1997, with our hydroelectric facilities on the Upper American River Project saving the District $10 million in power costs compared to buying this power on the open market. We were able to reduce expenditures in other areas as well, and made greater strides than planned in l i
lowering our stranded investment costs. This means that we are well on our way toward making our '
rate goals of maintaining steady rates through 2001, and then lowering them. Two maior bond rating agencies also agreed that we are on track by upgrading our senior lien revenue bond ratings to "A."
As you look through this annual report, you will see that what we've done in 1997 proves SMUD can change to stay ahead of the industry and remain faithful to our municipal values. With more changes in store,I feel confident that we will continue to meet the many needs of our customer-owners.

Billing Dispute. The District entered into a 40-year water service contract with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau),wb,ich expires in 2012 for the delivery of up to ) 75,000 acre-feet of water per year to meet the District's needs at Rancho Seco. This amount includes 60,000 acre-feet of municipal and industrial (M&l) water from CVP. Over time, Bureau revenues have been insufficient to cover actual CVP operations and mair#enance (O&M) costs; contractor payments have been insufficient to cover amortization of their respective shares of CVP capital costs and,in the case of M&1 contractors, have been insufficient to cover interest on unpaid capital. Although the District's contract contains a specific rate methodology, the Bureaa now maintains that the District and other M&l contractors are running substantial O&M deficits which, by the Bureau's definition, includes as O&M costs, both unpaid interest on capital and interest on the O&M deficit. The Bureau claims interest charges on these (] l unpaid capital interest and O&M deficits. As a result, the , Bureau's 1997 Rate Ik>ok (the most recent information published at this writing) lists a deficit of approximately , l
$9.5 million for the District. Since this figure is based on i financial data from fiscal year 1995, the actual deficit claimed by the Bureau will be somewhat larger. Management believes the District complied fully with the terms and conditions i
