Staff Report Item 2
TO: CCCE Policy Board of Directors
FROM: Tom Habashi, Chief Executive Officer
SUBJECT: Consider Finding, Pursuant to AB 361 and in order for the Policy Board of Directors to Continue Meeting Remotely, that the COVID-19 Pandemic State of Emergency Declared by Governor Newsom is Still In Effect; The Policy Board of Directors has Reconsidered the Circumstances of the State of Emergency; and the Monterey County Health Officer Continues to Recommend Social Distancing Measures for Meetings of Legislative Bodies (Action Item) DATE: February 16, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

This recommends the Policy Board (“Board”) find, pursuant to AB 361 and for the Board to continue meeting remotely, that the COVID-19 pandemic State of Emergency declared by Governor Newsom is still in effect; the Board has considered the circumstances of the State of Emergency; and the Monterey County Health Officer continues to recommend social distancing measures for meetings of legislative bodies.

BACKGROUND:

On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 361. This legislation amends the Brown Act to allow Brown Act bodies to meet via teleconference during a proclaimed state of emergency in accordance with teleconference procedures established by AB 361 rather than under the Brown Act's more narrow standard rules for teleconference meetings.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

AB 361 provides that if a state or local health official recommends social distancing, a legislative body may meet remotely after September 30, 2021, provided that the legislative body finds 1) the Governor's proclaimed state of emergency is still in effect; 2) the legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency, and 3) either the Monterey County Health Officer continues to recommend social distancing measures for meetings of legislative bodies or the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet in person.

The Monterey County Health Officer has recommended social distancing measures for meetings of legislative bodies. To continue meeting remotely, the Boards must make the findings outlined above.

Accordingly, staff recommends making the appropriate findings. This action will be required every 30 days to keep meeting remotely. A special meeting may be necessary for that purpose.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

CONCLUSION:

The Board’s consideration and finding that the COVID-19 pandemic State of Emergency declared by Governor Newsom is still in effect; the Board has reconsidered the circumstances of the State of Emergency; and the Monterey County Health Officer continues to recommend social distancing measures for meetings of legislative bodies will allow the Board to continue meeting remotely under the procedures established by AB 361.

Staff Report Item 3
TO: CCCE Policy Board of Directors
FROM: Tom Habashi, Chief Executive Officer
SUBJECT: Approve Community Advisory Council’s Selection Committee’s Nominations for San Benito County Seat (Action Item)
DATE: February 16, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

This recommends that the Policy Board of Directors (the “Board”) accept the Community Advisory Council Selection Committee’s (“Selection Committee”) nomination and appoint Wayne Norton to the Community Advisory Council (“CAC”) for an initial term ending June 2022, with a potential re-appointment to a full three (3) year term thereafter.

BACKGROUND:

The CAC is a standing committee comprised of 15 volunteer members, representing customers and stakeholders from Central Coast Community Energy’s service area, and providing feedback on staff presented proposals, recommendations, and policies.

As provided for in Article VII, Section 2 of the Central Coast Community Energy Operating Rules and Procedures (the “Operating Rules”), the Selection Committee shall submit nominations from a list of applicants of citizens that reside or work within the agency’s service area to the full Policy Board for its consideration and appointment. The Operating Rules further provide that CAC member terms are limited to two full three (3) year terms.

A CAC member representing San Benito County recently vacated her seat. Chair McShane appointed a selection committee comprising of the San Benito County Policy Board members in accordance with previous practice. The Selection Committee included Chair McShane and Directors Kollin Kosmicki and Dolores Morales.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The Selection Committee reviewed submitted materials and nominates Wayne Norton. Mr. Norton is currently retired but continues to advocate on behalf of older adults. He previously worked with Advocacy Inc., in Scotts Valley and is currently president of the Board of Directors for the Seniors Council of Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties. Mr. Norton is also a former chair of the San Benito County Aging and Long-Term Care Commission and co-chair of the Access Committee of San Juan Bautista Rotary where he advocated for expanded rural broadband services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this appointment.

CONCLUSION:

The Policy Board’s appointment of Mr. Norton will bring the CAC to its full capacity.

TO: CCCE Policy Board of Directors
FROM: Tom Habashi, Chief Executive Officer
SUBJECT: Approve Selection of General Counsel Brian Kimball (Action Item) DATE: February 16, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the CEO’s selection of Brian Kimball to serve as Central Coast Community Energy (“CCCE”) General Counsel.

BACKGROUND:

Upon its formation, CCCE relied on the County of Santa Cruz staff and consultants to lead the effort of launching the agency. On June 6, 2018, the Policy Board approved the addition of a full-time position to serve as General Counsel to organize and oversee the agency’s legal needs including public agency counsel, regulatory compliance, regulatory and legislative advocacy, contract negotiations, and dispute resolution.

While recruiting for the position, the Office of County Counsel for the County of Monterey, through Robert M. Shaw provided general counsel services pursuant to a contract. On June 5, 2019, the Policy Board approved Mr. Shaw as the full-time in-house General Counsel. In June 2020, Mr. Shaw’s responsibilities were expanded to include the roles of both Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel.

In his time with the agency, Mr. Shaw has provided outstanding legal support and operational guidance through over three years of successful service expansion, financial stability, staff growth, and a name change in extremely challenging energy market conditions.

Brian Kimball was hired by CCCE as Policy Advisor on March 1, 2021. Prior to his hire, Mr. Kimball served for two years on the Community Advisory Council. He has contributed to CCCE’s effective advocacy across both legislative and regulatory matters including AB 525 (offshore wind), AB 843 (BioMAT program), SB 612 (PCIA equity), supplier diversity, the PCIA, COVID debt relief, low-income programs, transportation electrification, grid modernization, and many others. In November 2021, his role was extended to Policy Advisor and Associate Counsel as he supported Mr. Shaw with the legal needs of the agency including ongoing litigation, dispute resolution, public records requests, contracts, and other items in addition to the ongoing policy responsibilities.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Since Mr. Shaw assumed the role of Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel, CCCE’s service area, customer base, energy procurement, communications, and account services operations have all expanded significantly. As those operational tasks have grown, so too has CCCE’s need for dedicated legal staff to manage increasing numbers of disputes, outside counsel, consultants, contracts, negotiations, compliance, and board responsibilities. Accordingly, it is an appropriate time for the roles of Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel to be separated into two positions.

Mr. Kimball possesses the necessary qualifications to fulfill the role of General Counsel and has demonstrated his effectiveness across the areas of responsibility. In light of his legal expertise, his deep background in the energy space, close ties to the Central Coast, and history of service to the agency, I am recommending that the Policy Board appoint Mr. Kimball to the position of General Counsel.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The current Policy Advisor / Associate Counsel position will be converted to the General Counsel position with no overall budget impact to the approved FY 2021-22 Operating Budget.

CONCLUSION:

Separating the current Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel position and functions, as well as approving Mr. Kimball as CCCE’s General Counsel will enable the agency to better address expanded operational needs and increased need for legal services.

CCCE’s Q4 2021 and early 2022 regulatory engagement focused on both system-wide policy improvements and bringing immediate, concrete benefits to CCCE customers. CCCE’s continued involvement in Resource Adequacy reform, Integrated Resource Planning, emergency summer reliability preparations, and now Provider of Last Resort reform are all aimed at better enabling CCCE to fulfill our mission while facilitating broader grid decarbonization and reliability. CCCE’s decisions to join Southern California’s Arrearage Management Program and the Percentage of Income Payment Plan pilots reflect our continued commitment to helping customers weather the financial impacts of the pandemic. Our involvement in IOU rate setting proceedings such as the ERRA brings foresight into one aspect of the financial environment CCCE will operate in in the coming year.

The list of activities described below represents the issues with the largest and most immediate impact to CCCE’s customers and operations.

Commission Rulemaking to Ensure Summer Reliability in 2021-2023 In the wake of the rolling blackouts California experienced in August 2020, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC or “the Commission”) opened a new Rulemaking to Establish Policies, Processes, and Rules to Ensure Reliable Electric Service in California in the Event of an Extreme Weather Event in 2021.1 This proceeding was designed to supplement existing reliability planning by identifying additional measures that could be adopted quickly enough to avoid a repeat of the blackouts in 2021.

The first two Decisions in this proceeding, issued in February and March, focused on summer 2021. They called for a mix of supply- and demand-side resource procurement that fell primarily on California’s three large investor-owned utilities (IOUs).2 However, the March Decision also strongly encouraged CCAs and other non-IOU load-serving entities (LSEs)3 to adopt critical peak pricing (CPP) programs by the summer that could help reduce load in emergency situations. This encouragement contributed to CCCE’s decision to develop our Summer Readiness Program. After summer 2021 passed without blackouts, the CPUC extended the scope of this proceeding to similarly prepare for the summers of 2022 and 2023.

Q4 of 2021 saw the issuance of this proceeding’s next Decision, this time focused on 2022 and 2023.

Decision 21-12-0154 ordered the IOUs to procure 2,000-3,000 MW of additional supply- and demand-side resources by 2022 and 2023. The Decision also included updates to the IOUs’ Emergency Load Reduction Program and demand response programs, expanded investments in smart thermostats and the Flex Alert media campaign, and a new rate pilot focused on shifting agricultural water pumping load to off-peak hours. The rate pilot is a partnership between PG&E and Valley Clean Energy, a CCA. Given that a significant portion of CCCE’s load comes from the agricultural sector, CCCE staff are investigating whether the pilot structure or any of its components could benefit CCCE customers as well. 1 See Rulemaking R.20-11-003
2 Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric 3 “Load-serving entities” or LSEs refers collectively to CCAs, investor-owned utilities (IOUs), and energy service providers (ies “Direct Access” providers), all three of which fall under some degree of CPUC jurisdiction. The term LSE does not include municipal utilities, which operate entirely outside CPUC authority.

The term’s official definition can be found in Section 380 of the California Public Utilities Code. 4 The final Decision is not yet posted as of writing, but the Proposed Decision can be found here:
418927517.PDF (ca.gov).
4 D.21-12-015 does not contain any new mandates for CCAs nor make further mention of CCA CPP programs, so there are no new direct impacts to CCCE. However, the Decision did create one decision point for all CCAs. The IOUs’ Emergency Load Reduction Program (ELRP) pilot, an event-based demand response program begun in 2021 for nonresidential customers, was expanded in this Decision to include residential customers as well. The expansion was based in part on equity concerns that the financial incentives for demand response that the ELRP pilot already provided to nonresidential customers were not available to residential customers as well. However, the Decision gave CCAs the option to opt out of the residential portion of the ELRP pilot, in which case all of a CCA’s customers would become categorically ineligible for ELRP participation. Administration of the ELRP pilot is conducted by the IOUs, and the cost of both program administration and incentives paid for reduced load during emergencies will be recovered from all ratepayers on the distribution side of the bill. In light of this funding structure among other factors, CCCE has chosen not to opt out of the pilot. CCCE’s customers will become eligible to enroll in ELRP beginning May 1, 2022 and can begin accruing financial rewards for reduced demand during emergency events thereafter.

D.21-12-015 covered the remaining issues in scope for this proceeding and the proceeding is now closed.

Integrated Resource Planning (IRP): GHG Reduction Planning Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) is the CPUC’s process for ensuring that the electricity sector meets its portion of California’s 2030 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. Every LSE must submit an Integrated Resource Plan to the CPUC every two years detailing the resources it plans to procure through 2030 and demonstrating that these will produce GHG emissions at or below an assigned benchmark that is based on its proportional share of total statewide load.

IRPs were last due in September 2020, and CPUC staff spent the subsequent year analyzing whether they added up to a resource fleet that meets sector wide GHG goals while maintaining grid reliability.

Initial results from this analysis led the Commission to conclude that there was need for additional resources in the mid-term period of 2023-2026. This is the time period when the 2,280-MW Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant is slated to retire, along with over 3,700 MW of fossil-based generation.

Decision 21-06-035, issued in June 2021, mandated procurement of 11,500 MW of additional resources between 2023 and 2026, with the obligation divided among LSEs according to their proportion of state load.5 CCCE’s slice of this total is 291 MW. Further analysis conducted over summer 2021 and released in August for stakeholder comment indicated that this 11,500 MW combined with the resources already planned for development in the 2020 IRPs should be sufficient to meet GHG and reliability goals.

The current IRP cycle, originally intended to be the 2019-2020 cycle, is now in its final stage. In December 2021 the Commission released a Proposed Decision containing the final Preferred System Plan (PSP), the term used for the aggregation of all the individual LSEs’ IRPs. Factoring in the procurement mandates already in place alongside each LSE’s proposed procurement, the Proposed Decision found that the PSP met GHG and reliability benchmarks and hence did not mandate any additional procurement. The Proposed Decision also ruled on whether each individual IRP was acceptable. CCCE’s 2020 IRP was recommended for certification with an “exemplary” designation for the sections addressing disadvantaged communities. Final certification of CCCE’s 2020 IRP will be complete 5 D.21-06-035 available at 389603637.PDF (ca.gov)
5 upon passage of the Proposed Decision, currently scheduled for a vote at the Commission’s February 10, 2022 voting meeting.

Finally, the Proposed Decision provides a timeline for the next IRP cycle. In recognition of the fact that what the Commission envisioned as a two-year cycle has always taken longer, the next cycle removes some of the earlier modeling work done at the Commission in favor of moving straight into LSEs’ IRP development and sticking to the two-year timeline. The next IRP will be due in September 2022, and CCCE staff have already begun internal preparations for meeting this deadline. Preparation of CCCE’s 2022 IRP will be integrated with other internal modeling efforts in order to provide the greatest possible value to CCCE procurement planning. Passage of the Proposed Decision on February 10, 2022 will conclude this IRP cycle and officially begin the new one.

Resource Adequacy (RA): Grid Reliability Planning
Resource Adequacy (RA) is the CPUC’s main grid reliability planning program. The program is currently focused on ensuring that there is enough generating capacity available on the grid to meet the forecasted peak demand. LSEs must buy and show to the Commission each year contracts for enough MW of capacity to meet their assigned proportional slices of the forecasted system peak load.

The current RA system was designed when most of California’s resource fleet was fossil-fuel-based and could therefore run 24/7. In such an environment it was sufficient to focus on peak demand, because generating capacity available at the peak could be assumed to be available in other hours as well.

However, this assumption has broken down as intermittent renewables such as wind and solar have come to play an increasingly large role in California’s grid. In a high-renewables system, reliability planning must look at all hours of the day because resource availability changes from hour to hour. In particular, such planning must look not just at peak demand but at “net peak demand,” which is the peak demand after wind and solar generation have been netted off. Net peak demand generally occurs in the evening hours, when gross demand is below the daily peak, but still high and solar generation has dropped sharply to zero with sundown. Fast-ramping gas generation has historically been important for maintaining reliability during net peak demand hours because it can increase output quickly to replace solar. As gas generation retires, net peak demand has emerged as the most urgent reliability challenge.

For the past two years, the CPUC has been working on a comprehensive reform of the RA program designed to better account for these changes to the grid. In July 2021 it issued Decision 21-07-014, which selected a model called “slice-of-day” as the new direction for the RA program. 6 Slice-of-day will require LSEs to procure RA capacity that is committed to being available in specific hours in order for the RA program to ensure grid reliability throughout the day. However, many details of the slice-of-day model remained to be fleshed out at the time of the Decision, so a series of nine stakeholder workshops was set up to further discuss and develop these.

These workshops began in September 2021 and ran through January 2022. After an opportunity for stakeholders to comment on the proposals that emerged in the workshops, a second Decision with a more detailed version of slice-of-day is expected in Q3 of 2022 for implementation in 2023 for the 2024 RA compliance year-ahead filings. The move to slice-of-day may significantly change the types of capacity products CCCE must buy and therefore CCCE’s RA procurement strategy. CCCE staff from both the policy and power resources teams have been actively engaged with this proceeding in order to 6 D.21-07-014 available at 393334426.PDF (ca.gov)
6 develop an RA program that achieves its reliability goals while supporting decarbonization and being feasible from an administrative and market perspective.

Provider of Last Resort and Western Community Energy Bankruptcy “Provider of Last Resort,” or POLR, is the term used for the retail electric provider that ratepayers are transferred to if their chosen provider becomes unable to continue providing service. The investor-owned utilities (IOUs) were traditionally assumed to be the POLR should a CCA fail, and in 2019 this responsibility was made explicit through SB 520 (Hertzberg, 2019).7 SB 520 designated the IOUs as POLRs in their service territories and called on the CPUC to more clearly define POLR responsibilities, as well as outline a path for an LSE other than an IOU to eventually serve as POLR if desired.

In March 2021, the Commission opened a proceeding, Rulemaking 21-03-011, to implement SB 520. The proceeding is being conducted in two phases. Phase 1 will clarify the rules for the IOUs initially serving as the POLR and should conclude by the end of 2022. Phase 2 will develop a process for other entities, including CCAs, to apply to serve as POLR in the future. Phase 2 does not yet have a set schedule but will follow Phase 1. The proceeding is still in its early stages, so Q4 activities included scoping and scheduling and an initial workshop and round of comments. This proceeding has become particularly urgent after the June 2021 bankruptcy and subsequent deregistration of Western Community Energy, a CCA in Riverside County. Though SB 520 and R.21-03-011 had already been initiated, WCE’s dissolution put the POLR construct to the test and caused some stakeholders to call for more stringent oversight of CCAs.

The major issues at stake in this proceeding for CCAs are the scope of the POLR’s procurement responsibility and potential increases to the Financial Security Requirement (FSR). The extent to which the POLR should be required to preemptively procure resources on behalf of customers it could need to take on in the future will be debated in Phase 1 and has implications for both ratepayer affordability and CCA procurement autonomy. WCE’s bankruptcy also led Southern California Edison, which took on WCE’s customers, to suggest that the Financial Security Requirement CCAs pay upfront to cover re-entry costs in case of their dissolution was too low. CCCE and CalCCA will continue to engage with this proceeding in support of a POLR structure that supports smooth transitions in the case of LSE failure without unnecessarily increasing ratepayer costs or infringing on CCA procurement authority.

Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA)8
CCCE continues to participate in PG&E’s 2022 Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) Forecast Application and PG&E’s 2020 ERRA Compliance proceedings with a group of Joint CCAs. The ERRA Forecast proceeding determines the PCIA rate for the coming year, in this case 2022, which impacts CCCE’s rate competitiveness with PG&E. PG&E’s November testimony in the ERRA Forecast proceeding indicated a significant increase in PG&E’s bundled generation rates and decrease in the PCIA beginning January 1, 2022. Both stemmed from an un-forecasted spike in energy prices during 2021. On November 24, 2021, the Administrative Law Judge in the proceeding required additional filings from PG&E. These additional filings mean the PG&E rate changes will be delayed until March 1, 2022. The updated 7 Bill Text - SB-520 Electrical service: provider of last resort. 8 The Power Charge Indifference Adjustment is a fee paid by CCA customers. It represents the above-market costs of resources the relevant IOU purchased on behalf of the CCA’s customers before the CCA was formed and is designed to prevent cost shifts onto the IOU’s remaining bundled customers after the CCA forms and the CCA’s customers depart bundled service. The higher the PCIA, the lower the “headroom” between the total that CCCE customers pay (PCIA rate plus CCCE generation charges) and bundled customer generation rates.
7 estimates submitted on December 14th reduce the magnitude of the bundled generation rate increase and the PCIA decrease but maintain the direction of the changes.

Elsewhere on PCIA matters, CCCE’s Application for Rehearing of CPUC Decision 21-05-030, which rejected key parts of the Phase 2 Working Group 3’s recommendation for the allocation of resources from the IOU’s PCIA portfolios, remains before the Commission.910 If the CPUC does not rule on the Application by early Q2, CCCE has prepared for judicial action to accelerate consideration.

Finally, CCCE continues to support Senator Anthony Portantino’s 2021 bill SB 612, which would give CCAs the choice to receive an allocation of those resources paid for through the PCIA by CCCE customers but retained by the IOUs.11 2022 will be the second year of the two-year legislative session, and after passing the Senate in 2021 SB 612 will need to advance through the Assembly to succeed Energy Utility Customer Bill Debt Accumulated During COVID-19 Pandemic The “waterfall” method is a protocol in which partial payments received from customers who cannot pay their full electricity bills are applied first to IOU transmission and distribution (T&D) costs, and second to CCA generation costs if there is any money left after T&D costs are covered. This approach causes CCAs to disproportionately bear the impacts of customer payment delays compared to the IOUs.

Waterfall treatment was suspended during the COVID-19 disconnection moratorium in favor of a pro rata approach wherein partial payments were split proportionally between the IOU T&D and CCA generation costs. With the moratorium expiring at the end of September 2021, the IOUs had agreed to maintain the pro rata approach through the end of the year.

Q4 brought a significant victory on this matter. In June 2021 the Commission had provided for residential and small business customers with pandemic-related arrearages to be automatically enrolled in long-term payment plans.12 On November 18, 2021, the Commission further extended pro-rata allocation of partial payments between IOU and CCA charges until the completion of these payment plans in September 2024.13 This November Decision provides more equitable treatment to CCAs and removes uncertainty around payment allocation for the next several years, allowing for more accurate financial planning.

California Arrearage Payment Program
The Department of Community Services and Development (CSD) continues to move forward with the allocation of $993.5M in funding for the California Arrearage Payment Program (CAPP), intended to defray energy debts accumulated during early phases of the pandemic. Of that total, approximately $300M is earmarked for public utility customers and $700M for IOU and CCA customers. CCCE customers have been allocated $6,445,542 of these totals. Funds are to be distributed by CSD no later than January 31, 2022. CSD and the IRS have issued additional guidance that payments received through the CAPP program are considered qualified disaster relief payments that are nontaxable and excluded from a recipient’s gross income.14

8 Arrearage Management Plan Program
With its recent enrollments of customers in the Southern California Edison service area, CCCE has notified SCE of its intent to participate in the SCE Arrearage Management Plan (AMP). As with the PG&E program already available to CCCE customers in that service area, the SCE AMP allows customers to receive forgiveness for past-due bills in exchange for on-time payment of new bills over a specific time period. Customers who have received service for at least six months and made one previous full on-time payment in the previous 24 months may receive forgiveness for 1/12 of their initial arrearage balance (up to $8k) for every on-time payment of a new monthly bill. Enrolled customers who miss a monthly payment may make it up in full the subsequent month by paying both the missed payment amount and the subsequent month’s bill before the subsequent month’s bill becomes past-due. Customers who miss two bills in a row or three non-sequential bills are removed from the program without forfeiting any arrearage forgiveness already accrued due to on-time payments.

Customers who exit the program for any reason may re-enroll after a 12-month waiting period if they continue to meet the eligibility requirements. Customers can only be on one payment plan at a time. If they are enrolled in another payment plan it will be replaced by AMP. AMP customers can participate in Relief for Energy Assistance through Community Help (REACH) and the Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), but the LIHEAP payment will only apply to future energy charges and cannot be applied to eligible AMP debt. Administration of the AMP is conducted by PG&E and SCE.

Percentage of Income Payment Plan Pilot Programs
CCCE has informed both PG&E and SCE of its intent to participate in a new pilot program called the Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP).15 The goals of these pilots are to gather data to inform the development of a long-term PIPP program that 1) reduces residential disconnections, 2) encourages energy conservation and participation in energy saving and energy management programs, and 3) controls program costs and avoids arrearages and uncollectable bill debt.

The pilots will include up to 15,000 participants across California, and with CCCE’s participation will be open to both bundled and unbundled ratepayers in CCCE’s service area. Cost recovery for both bundled and unbundled participants will be through the electric Public Purpose Program (PPP) charge. The PPP is paid on the delivery side of the electricity bill by all ratepayers, both bundled and unbundled, and thus represents access to a new funding model for CCA affordability programs. The pilots will be open to CARE-eligible customers (200% of Federal Poverty Level) that either 1) are in zip codes with highest rates of recurring disconnections, or 2) were disconnected 2 or more times during the 12 months prior to the disconnection moratorium.

PIPP customers will receive a monthly bill cap based on a percentage of their income, standardized for two tiers of income (up to or over 100% Federal Poverty Level) and two household size categories (household of 1-2 or 3+ members). Participants will be charged the lower of their PIPP bill cap or their CARE and/or Medical Baseline bill. PIPP participants may remain on electric vehicle charging and other https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/frequently-asked-questions-for-states-and-local-governments-on-taxability-and-reporting-of-payments-from-coronavirus-state-and-local-fiscal-recovery-funds for more information.

9 demand-side management rates, but not on Net Energy Metering rates. Participants may prove their income tier (0-100% FPL or 101-200% FPL) directly or with proof of participation in another state program that requires income verification (e.g., Medi-Cal or CalFresh). IOUs will contract with Community Based Organizations (“CBO”) that conduct Energy Savings Assistance Program (ESAP) and/or LIHEAP outreach to perform concurrent PIPP and ESAP/LIHEAP outreach.

CCCE is participating in the PIPP Working Group which includes IOUs, CCAs, consumer advocates, and CBOs to make recommendations for long-term program design after the 48-month pilot.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
State Legislature
CCCE met regularly in Q4 with representatives from the legislative delegation representing CCCE’s member communities. Discussions regarding the 2022 legislative session and delegation priorities have revealed several potential opportunities to work together as climate change, grid resiliency, and electrification were frequently cited as legislator priorities. CCCE staff have further engaged with the CalCCA legislative committee to inform the development of specific bill proposals to be considered in the next year.

One of these has found an author and been introduced. AB 1814, authored by Assemblymember Timothy Grayson (D-Concord), would give CCAs the opportunity to compete alongside the IOUs to for allocations of funds distributed by the CPUC for transportation electrification programs. This funding is collected from all ratepayers on the distribution side of the bill but has historically been allocated only among the IOUs. This type of funding comes with increased administrative responsibility to the CPUC, and it would be up to each CCA to decide whether this option is the best way to serve its ratepayers. But by giving all CCAs the choice, AB 1814 corrects a structural inequity in how this funding is allocated. AB 1814 should also improve the overall effectiveness of the program by allowing a larger pool of potential program administrators to compete and bring their ideas and comparative strengths to the table. CCCE will be working with CalCCA and other stakeholders to build support for AB 1814, and staff will provide updates to the Board as the 2022 legislative session advances.

Federal Bills
HR 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, became law on November 15, 2021.16 The bill includes key funding for grid upgrades, transportation electrification, wildfire mitigation, energy efficiency, and decarbonization of the electric system. Specific allotments that may benefit CCCE customers include:
• $65 billion for transmission and power infrastructure, including $2.5 billion for DOE to buy a portion of planned capacity in new or upgraded transmission projects, which the department may sell after determining the projects are financially viable. • $8 billion for DOE to establish four clean-hydrogen hubs and $6 billion for battery material processing, manufacturing, and recycling grants.
• $7.5 billion for EV charging and alternative fuel facilities. • $5 billion for electric and low-emission school buses. 16 H.R.3684 - 117th Congress (2021-2022): Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act | Congress.gov | Library of Congress
10 • $553.6 million to incentivize capital upgrades at hydropower facilities, including grid, resilience, dam safety, and environmental performance.
• $3.5 billion for home weatherization.
• $500 million for the State Energy Program providing funding and technical assistance to enhance energy security, advance state-led energy initiatives, and maximize the benefits of decreasing energy waste.
• $500 million for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. • $250 million in cybersecurity grants for rural and municipal utilities. • Overturns federal court decisions that stymied the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s authority to permit transmission projects in designated corridors. • $3.4 billion for wildfire risk reduction, including forest thinning, controlled burns, and landscape-restoration projects, with $600 million allocated for increased wildland firefighter pay.

Additionally, on November 19, 2021, the House of Representatives passed HR 5376. Among many other climate-related investments, the Build Back Better spending bill includes crucial extensions of the Investment and Production Tax Credits for renewable energy and extends the Investment Tax Credit to standalone storage. These storage projects are strategically critical to the reliability of intermittent renewable energy sources found in CCCE’s energy portfolio. The bill is now being heard by the Senate.

Budget Item YTD Variance Comment
Electric Sales Revenue 1.0% Sales revenue includes revenues actually billed to customers as well as estimated customer usage during the reporting period that is not yet billed.

Cost of Energy (17.5%) Currently there is positive. Variances in this category are typically due to (1) timing difference between projected and actual REC deliveries, (2) variance from actual to anticipated market prices, and (3) variance from actual to expected volume used by customers.

Staffing (28.0%) Staffing expenses are under budget due to the timing of new hires.

Professional Services (74.9%) This category includes accounting, IT, technical and other consultants.

Legal Costs (28.1%) This category includes outside legal costs for regulatory and energy procurement needs.

Marketing and customer enrollment (12.3%) Variance is mostly due to the lower than anticipated costs of recent customer enrollments.

Data Management Services (5.5%) These fees non-discretionary and are charged on a per customer basis.

Utility Service Fees (19.4%) These are PG&E fees charged on a per customer basis.

Other General & Administrative (9.4%) This category includes occupancy costs, industry membership dues, and other general and administrative costs.

Energy and Related Programs (73.7%) Programs expenses have generally been delayed until future periods Budget Commentary for significant items

12 Staff Report Item 7
TO: CCCE Policy Board of Directors
FROM: Norm Groot, Community Advisory Council Chair
SUBJECT: Community Advisory Council Report (Discussion Item) DATE: February 16, 2022
Central Coast Community Energy’s Community Advisory Council (CAC) met on Wednesday, February 2, 2022, with Council members both in-person and virtually. As this meeting was conducted in a hybrid format, it was necessary for the CAC members to confirm the COVID-19 Pandemic State of Emergency under AB 361 was still in effect. This was done under the Consent Agenda item along with approval of the minutes from the December 1, 2021 CAC meeting.

COO Robert Shaw provided an extensive report on recent staff engagements and activities, including updates on recent staff positions filled. Members of staff provided updates on new service enrollments, the pilot percentage of income payment plan (PPIP), vendor registry for small and local businesses, front of the meter energy storage program, as well as updates on energy program rollouts and uptake rates. A brief update on the rate adjustment approved by the Operations Board in December was also provided.

At the urging of several CAC members, an agenda item was requested by the CAC Chair to consider development of a Sustainable Workforce policy; this discussion was intended to provide CAC members an opportunity to express if there is a need for this type of policy, what the scope of the policy should include, as well as what elements should be considered. There was considerable discussion on ideas and concepts expressed by CAC members, followed by public comment. While there was no action taken directly on the policy itself, nor any consensus on the policy elements or any recommendation made to the Policy Board, a follow-up workshop will be held at the April CAC meeting with presentations from community stakeholders.

A brief report on the development of an energy programs portfolio evaluation process will be followed in April with a draft report for the CAC members to review and discuss.

There being no further business, the CAC meeting was adjourned.

2021 ENROLLMENT UPDATE
Nearly all the eligible customers in the communities of Carpinteria, Goleta, and the communities located in unincorporated Santa Barbara County that are served by Southern California Edison (SCE) are now enrolled in CCCE service. SCE area enrollment stands at about 97% of eligible customer demand. In January 2022, the final enrollment of 6,000 customers in the City of Buellton and SCE service area customers enrolled in the NEM program concluded. Staff is continuing to engage with customers to ensure positive onboarding experience.

Detailed enrollment information is available in the attached CCCE Enrollment & Customer Outreach Report.

FRONT OF THE METER ENERGY STORAGE (FMES)
Front of the Meter Energy Storage (FMES) is a first of its kind effort to deploy 1 to 5 MW of energy storage systems to improve grid reliability, reduce greenhouse gas emissions during net peak hours, and provide localized resiliency by leveraging PG&E’s Community Microgrid Enablement Tariff and Program.

CCCE received 73 distinct offers from 13 developers covering battery technologies including Lithium Ion, Iron Flow, Zinc / Aqueous, and Lithium Iron Phosphate. Staff is currently reviewing the offers from both a quantitative and qualitative standpoint and intends to shortlist proposals by March 15, 2022.

PERCENTAGE OF INCOME PAYMENT PLAN (PIPP) PILOT
The California Public Utilities Commission (Commission) authorized the development of Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) pilot to determine the effectiveness of using a predetermined affordable percentage of monthly income-based payment plans as a tool to reduce customer disconnections. The Commission outlined a cap of 15,000 pilot program participants to be divided across each of the California investor-owned utilities. CCA customers eligible for inclusion in the pilot are required to work collaboratively with the CCA(s) identified.

CCCE will have 515 shared PG&E customers and 28 SCE shared customers participating in the pilot.

Utilizing the eligible customer data, the following zip codes were selected:
 93111 (Goleta and Unincorporated SB County/SCE)
 93458 (Santa Maria/PG&E)
 93906 (Salinas/PG&E)
The pilot is anticipated to span a 4-year period in total with a two-year active enrollment window and up to 24 months for participant payment plans to conclude.

SPRING WORKSHOP
Staff plans to hold a lunch and joint workshop for the Policy and Operations Boards following the April 13, 2022 Operations Board Meeting. Staff anticipates industry speakers presenting a current assessment of California Energy markets and a snapshot of opportunities to accelerate renewable energy development.

Staff Report Item 10
TO: CCCE Policy Board of Directors
FROM: Tom Habashi, Chief Executive Officer
SUBJECT: Approve Amendments to the Community Advisory Council Bylaws (Action Item) DATE: February 16, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

This recommends that the Policy Board adopt amendments to the Community Advisory Council (“CAC”) Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to clarify the CAC’s advisory role and better align the CAC with Board direction in achievement of agency goals.

BACKGROUND:

The CAC Bylaws were originally drafted by the CAC and adopted by the Policy Board in 2018. Article VII, Section 2 of CCCE Operating Rules and Regulations establishes the CAC as a standing committee composed of members from the community to provide feedback on staff proposals and recommendations to be presented to the Policy and Operations Boards.

The Bylaws were amended in 2020 to reinforce the CAC’s advisory role, detail the CAC’s regular meeting calendar, and add Brown Act clarifications.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The CCCE strategic objectives are set forth as part of the agency’s joint powers agreement. Annually, during budget preparation for the fiscal year, staff develops its approach to meeting achieving strategic objectives and presents this approach to the CAC and Boards, incorporating their feedback, finalizing the budget plans, and seeking approval of the Policy Board prior to the start of the fiscal year. The CEO’s operational path forward builds organizational direction, consistency, and accountability toward achieving the Board’s approved goals.

The role of the CAC is to review and provide, as representatives of the community, feedback on staff proposals and recommendations that are presented to the Boards. The Boards then decide and provide direction to staff and ultimately hold the CEO accountable for staff’s performance in achieving the Board directed goals.

This process, utilized by public agencies throughout California and the nation, ensures that staff remains focused on Board direction and efficient in completion of operational need while continuing to move the agency forward.

In the past 8 months, the CAC has spent significant meeting and staff time discussing self-identified topics that are unrelated, and at times directly contrary to staff’s work in furtherance of the agency goals.

Some CAC members have utilized the agenda setting remnant from the CAC Bylaws to suggest elevating crowdsourced proposals (that lack staff analysis) directly to the Policy Board regardless of whether such proposals support or further Board direction and goals.

Staff, and several CAC members, are concerned that the current approach of self-selecting the CAC agenda is redirecting staff effort away from Board directed goals, creating a frustrating experience for some CAC members that welcome their advisory role, and--most significantly--is creating an unnecessary divide between the CAC and staff.

The attached amendments update the Bylaws language to reaffirm CAC’s role as an advisory body, requiring the CEO to set the CAC agenda in consultation with the CAC Chair.

CONCLUSION:

Approval of the proposed amendments will clarify the CAC’s role as providing feedback to staff and the Policy and Operations Boards on staff prepared policies and recommendations. The proposed amendments will ensure the CAC and staff are working in collaboration toward achieving the Boards’ goals in pursuit of the agency objectives.

Staff Report Item 11
TO: CCCE Policy Board of Directors
FROM: Tom Habashi, Chief Executive Officer
SUBJECT: Receive an Update Regarding FY 21/22 Energy Programs Portfolio and FY 20/21 Energy Programs Portfolio Evaluation and Report Development Process DATE: February 16, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

This report recommends the Policy Board receive an update regarding the FY 21/22 Energy Programs Portfolio and FY 20/21 Energy Programs Portfolio Evaluation and Report Development Process.

BACKGROUND:

On September 15, 2021, the Policy Board approved the budget supporting the FY 21/22 Energy Programs Portfolio.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Since the start of FY 21/22, CCCE staff have launched six programs serving a broad range of customers to advance transportation, building, and agricultural electrification. These include the CALeVIP – South Central Coast Incentive Project, Electric School Bus, Agricultural Electrification, New Construction Electrification, Electrify Your Ride, and Community Education and Workforce Grant programs.

Community Education and Workforce Grant Program
On December 9, 2021, CCCE launched the second iteration of the Community Education and Workforce Grant Program (“Grant Program”). The purpose of the Grant Program is to provide support for organizations to address education and outreach barriers that impact CCCE Energy Programs focused on Electrification, as well as to address gaps in local workforce training and development to accelerate electrification of the building and/or transportation sectors.

A total of $400,000 is available for the Grant Program, with a maximum grant amount of $100,000 per grant recipient geared towards encouraging more workforce development proposal submissions.

Applications will remain open until February 7, 2022 with shortlisting and award selections tentatively scheduled for early to mid-March.

Electrify Your Ride Program
On November 9, 2021, CCCE staff launched the next iteration of the Electrify Your Ride Program.

The current program iteration expands significantly from last year’s program. The Electrify Your Ride Program provides rebates to CCCE customers who purchase or lease an electric vehicle (EV). This program also incorporates rebates for Level 2 EV Chargers, as well as related home electrical upgrades - such as panel upgrades and wiring – to support “EV Readiness.” A new offering of the Electrify Your Ride Program includes rebates for electric bicycles (E-bikes) for residents.

Residential, commercial, and agricultural customers are welcome to apply. Higher incentive amounts will be available through this program for income-qualified customers to promote greater adoption of transportation electrification in disadvantaged and low-income communities. In FY 21/22, CCCE budgeted a total of $3.1 million with $2.85 million allocated for customer incentives. Funds will remain available through September 30, 2022, or until funds are fully reserved. To date, CCCE has received 547 applications totaling $773,000 in requests. Attachment 1 provides a detailed status update of the Electrify Your Ride Program through February 4, 2022.

New Construction Electrification Program
On October 5, 2021, CCCE launched the third iteration of the New Construction Electrification Program (NCEP). The NCEP provides housing developers incentive funds to build all-electric housing. Like previous iterations of the program, projects must be built to all-electric standards for all energy utility needs including, but not limited to, water heating, space heating, and cooking appliances. This year, incentives are available only for affordable housing units.

A $2,500 incentive will be provided on a per unit basis and will be provided “downstream” to developers upon successful completion of the project. In FY 21/22 a total of $1.5 million is available to housing developers and will remain available through September 30, 2022, or until funds are fully reserved. To date, CCCE has received two applications for a total request of $300,000.

Agricultural Electrification Program
On October 5, 2021, staff launched the third iteration of the Agricultural (Ag) Electrification Program.

The Ag program provides incentives to CCCE customers for replacement of fossil fuel powered agricultural equipment with new electric equipment including irrigation pumps, farm tools, utility vehicles and other equipment. Incentives will be provided “downstream” directly to the customer after proof of purchase and/or installation of equipment.

The incentive is open to CCCE customers whose primary business is agriculture production and/or agriculture processing. This year, eligible customers will receive between 70 – 100% of the total project cost up to $30,000 for qualifying projects. Applications submitted by small businesses with higher impact projects - in terms of greenhouse gas emissions reduction – will be supported by the highest incentive levels. In FY 21/22, a total of $600,000 is available for incentives and will remain available through September 30, 2022, or until funds are fully reserved. To date, 17 eligible applications have been received totaling approximately $250,000 in requests. Staff has approved 13 applications and reserved or paid out just over $180,000 under the Program. Attachment 2 provides a detailed status update of the Ag Electrification Program through February 4, 2022.

Electric School Bus Program
On October 5, 2021, CCCE launched the third iteration of the Electric School Bus Program. This program provides public schools and school districts enrolled in CCCE service with an opportunity to receive funding for the purchase of an all-electric school bus. The Electric School Bus Program is intended to reduce GHG emissions from school buses, as well as eliminate harmful pollutants emitted by traditional diesel buses near students.

In FY 21/22, a total of $1 million is available to incentivize up to five new buses in our service area. CCCE will contribute up to 50% of the cost, not to exceed $200,000 for each school bus. Funds will be distributed directly from CCCE to the bus manufacturer of the awardee’s choosing on behalf of the awardee. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until funds are fully reserved. To date, CCCE has received nine (9) applications totaling over $1.45 million in requests. Staff is working with school staff to finalize funding reservations. Below is a table providing for School Bus Electrification Program requests by County, as of February 4, 2022.

CALeVIP – South Central Coast Incentive Project
On August 5, 2021, CCCE – in coordination with State and regional funding partners – launched the CALeVIP – South Central Coast Incentive Project (SCCIP). Implemented by the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE), this program follows the FY 19/20 CALeVIP – Central Coast Incentive Project to provide incentives for public DC Fast Chargers and Level 2 Electric Vehicle Chargers. CALeVIP – SCCIP will make a total of $12 million in funds available over two years in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. CCCE is contributing $1,750,000 with our funds available only to CCCE customers and 50% of the funds dedicated to disadvantaged and low to moderate income communities.

On the first day after launching the SCCIP, the program saw over 250 applications and an oversubscription for DC Fast Charger funds. At this time, all funding is reserved. CSE is moving to finalize funding approval and distribute funding to approved projects.

Staff Report Item 12
TO: CCCE Policy Board of Directors
FROM: Tom Habashi, Chief Executive Officer
SUBJECT: Receive an Update Regarding Member Agency Services DATE: February 16, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:

This report recommends the Policy Board receive an update regarding CCCE’s recently launched Member Agency Services.

BACKGROUND:

On December 15, 2021, the Policy Board of Directors approved the allocation of two percent (2%) of operating revenues to support CCCE Member Agency programs and initiatives that further CCCE strategic goals.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

On December 16, 2021, CCCE launched Member Agency Services. This new comprehensive offering enables CCCE to proactively engage our 33 Member Agencies in program design, utilization, outreach, and support for non-program initiatives designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the reliance on fossil fuels.

CCCE has launched a new standalone webpage to fully communicate the developing efforts to support our Member Agencies: https://3cenergy.org/member-agency-services/ Existing program offerings provided under the Member Agency Services effort include:
 Reach Codes
 Greenhouse Gas Accounting
 Light Duty Vehicle Electrification and
 Planning, Implementation, and Innovation Grant Programs.

The first new program to be offered under Member Agency Services will be a medium and heavy-duty (MD/HD) fleet program. Potential applications will include street sweepers, refuse trucks, and first response vehicles. Incentives will be tied to the incremental cost of electric models from standard internal combustion options with max incentives up to $250,000. The anticipated budget for this program in FY 21/22 is $1,000,000 and the program will be launched in February.

In addition to programs, Member Agency Services is intended to meet other needs and opportunities that further CCCE’s strategic goals. Examples of such efforts may include data access and analysis, regional policy making support, collaboration on grid reliability efforts, and other requests and ideas yet to be identified by Member Agencies or CCCE.

Several outreach activities have been initiated to engage Member Agencies. CCCE is actively scheduling and holding one on one meetings with all 33 Member Agencies, starting to share information about Member Agency Services and solicit information, feedback, and ideas. CCCE is also establishing, and scheduling working groups focused on building and transportation electrification. The purpose of these working groups is to drive participation in and value from existing programs and inform future program design; identify common needs, barriers, and scalable strategies and solutions for regional electrification; and identify and share resources between Member Agencies and CCCE.

FISCAL IMPACT:

CCCE Member Agency programs and initiatives are supported by two percent (2%) of annual operating revenues.

CONCLUSION:

Member Agency Services enables CCCE to be a better resource and partner to our 33 Member Agencies to benefit them and to achieve shared objectives in alignment with JPA goals.
