Public Utility District
Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Stephen Hollabaugh
Date: June 1, 2007
Subject: Consider joining an All-In-Pool Cost Pool within the Pooling Project of
UAMPS
When acquiring new resource, Conservation is considered first resource.
Historic load growth has averaged 4.7% over the last three years
• Forecast assumes that load increases by only 1% over the next three years
- Conservation may account for 1-3% of load
- Offsets growth that would otherwise require additional resources
• Conservation is estimated to shave approximately 1 MW from TDPUD's monthly average
energy requirements
- Actual load requires market purchases to shape around average requirements
- Greater conservation will reduce shaping purchases
After conservation, the District still has a need for resource.
History:
The District has been a member of UAMPS since August 2000. When the District joine
UAMPS, an agreement for "Joint and Cooperative Action" was signed. Currently the District
is in the Resource Project, the Pool Project, and the Master Firm Power Project of UAMPS
New Information: existing UAMPS resources, UAMPS and its members to
In order to optimize the use of
further cooperation within members and to strengthen public power first has created an All-In-
Cost Pool within the Pooling Project of UAMPS.

A brief presentation of the UAMPS Pool will be presented. (Attached)
The "Appendix A Truckee-Donner PUD All-In Cost Pool" is attached and will be discussed in
as much detail as the Board wishes.
Time is of the Essence: Though the term n of
prior thlx starts on e end of June sobhater 1UAMPS
Truckee Donner PUD must enter into the All I p
can plan for the group of members for the upcoming season.
Positives of the Resources for the District: is to
This All-In Cost pool gives the District the stool
lThis makes with
all of T utckee'sities n resources a cost swork
meet our load and resource requiremen
t .together without having to individually (hourly) buy and sell our resource needs of which
Truckee Donner PUD currently does not have the ability to do on its own.
The Positives outweigh the Negatives:
This gives the District a great tool to meet its resource needs and to prioritize the resources
as the District sees fit.
Recommendation:
The Board of Directors adopts and authorizes the Board President to sign Appendix A
"Truckee-Donner PUD All-In Cost Pool.

APPENDIX A
TRUCKEE-DONNER PUD ALL-IN COST POOL
ASSIGNMENT OF TRUCKEE-DONNER PUD "PARTICIPANT" SURPLUS RESOURCES AND

DEFICIT ELECTRIC
UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE POWER POOLING AGREEMENT
Intent
The UAMPS Pool Project Participants, through the Pool Project Management Committee
and the UAMPS Board of Directors, desire that a more cooperative and efficient form of transaction
be accommodated for managing their respective Load and resource situation. In addition,the
Participants desire that the Pool should provide an environment that encourages Participants to
jointly discuss and acquire resources as needed so as to incorporate any economies that
cooperative association may provide to its Participants.
The intent and purpose of this Appendix is to provide for the operation of the Pool in an
economical and cooperative manner for the benefit of the Participants taken as a whole and to the
extent consistent with the UAMPS Project Resource agreements and resolutions, Non-UAMPS
Resources and Member Internal Generation ("MIG") . This Appendix documents the principals that
the Participants will use for disposal or purchase of surplus or deficit resource positions as the case
may be.
Definitions
All-in Cost shall mean A)for each UAMPS Project Resource the sum of(1)the variable
cost per megawatt hour and (2) the fixed cost pool transfer rate per megawatt hour, both as
defined and determined in the adopted UAMPS Project Resource budget pertinent to the time that
the All-in Cost is applicable; or B)a strike price per megawa eededttand C)a cost per megawatt hounhour for each MIG as d by

priority of Non-UAMPS Resources, to be applied to Load, shall be determined by the Participant.
UAMPS Project Resources shall be applied to Load after all Non-UAMPS Resources have been

A Participant may submit new priorities of resources listed on the Schedule of Resources
to the Pool in a manner as adopted by the Pool.
Scheduling and Accounting
Participant shall provide or cause to be provided, to the Pool, a schedule for each resource
listed on Schedule of Resources.
Participant shall provide or cause to be provided,to the Pool, a forecast of its anticipated
Load.
Participant shall have the first use of electric energy allocable to its resources listed on
Schedule of Resources and scheduled to meet Load.
The Participant's schedule, along with all other participants' schedules,will be used in
operational decisions of the Pool. The Pool, no less than monthly,will review, discuss and
determine how to operate the Pool for the period adopted by the Pool. Given no other direction by
the Pool, if the Pool is in a surplus resource position,with regard to Participant's Loads, it shall sell
such surplus resource position in to the Market and if the Pool is in a deficit resource position,with
regard to Participant's Loads, it shall purchase such deficit from the Market.
The Participant's surplus or deficit resource positions, in any hour, shall be determined by
subtracting the Participant's schedule of resources,from its actual Load as determined by the
Meter. A positive difference shall be a deficit resource position in that hour and a negative
difference shall be surplus resource position in that hour.
Participant agrees to sell to the Pool and the Pool agrees to purchase from the Participant
any hourly surplus resource position attributable to its UAMPS Project Resources at the All-in Cost
of such surplus UAMPS Project Resources
Participant agrees to purchase from the Pool and the Pool agrees to sell to the Participant
any hourly deficit resource position attributable to its hourly Load, as recorded by its Meter,from
the Pool at the hourly Pool Blended Price.
Participant agrees that if it is in a long position and the Pool ends up in a long position
such that the Pool sells to the Market it will not receive the All-in Cost for its long position but
instead it will receive Market.
Technical Committee
The Pool agrees to form a Technical Committee. The purpose of the Technical Committee
is to provide an interface between the Participant and UAMPS' scheduling process. The Technical
