Staff Report Item 15
TO: CCCE Policy Board of Directors
FROM: Tom Habashi, Chief Executive Officer
SUBJECT: Support CCCE Turnkey Ownership Model for Front of the Meter Energy Storage Assets and Direct the CEO to take Necessary Steps to Prepare a Bond Issuance for Later Policy Board Review and Approval (Action Item) DATE: June 15, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
This recommends the Policy Board support the development of Front of the Meter Energy Storage (FMES) assets that CCCE will own and operate. Further, this recommends the Policy Board direct the CEO to take necessary steps to prepare a bond issuance that will fund the front of the meter assets.
BACKGROUND:
CCCE’s first power purchase agreements for the output of large renewable projects were executed in fall 2018. Those first PPAs and each PPA since then have been fixed price, take and pay contract structures.
CCCE launched its first of its kind Front of the Meter Energy Storage (FMES) effort in December 2021 to deploy 1 to 5 MW sized energy storage systems, throughout the CCCE service area. As part of its solicitation, CCCE asked developers for both offtake (an energy service contract) and turnkey (asset ownership) proposals.
Since launching the FMES effort, impacts to battery component manufacturing and supply chain issues have compounded other market pressures caused by California Public Utilities Commission (the “Commission”) procurement mandates and interconnection delays.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The option to own and operate the FMES battery systems can reduce costs, provide CCCE greater operational control, and streamline project delivery.
197 of 204
To date, CCCE has not owned any assets and has utilized long-term offtake agreements under which a private developer builds, owns, and operates a facility while CCCE has a right to the power at a fixed price for a fixed term.
CCCE extended its review of the 73 distinct offers from 13 developers for FMES systems while also evaluating a separate joint solicitation for solar plus storage and standalone battery storage to address the California Public Utilities Commission’s Mid Term Reliability procurement order. The offered projects (some by the same developers) along with information shared by several of CCCE’s power purchase agreement developers reflected volatility in the market and required closer evaluation of turnkey offers for CCCE’s FMES initiative.
In April, CCCE shortlisted Depcom Power for the design and construction of the first tranche of energy storage facilities at CCCE’s member-agency sites. Upon commissioning of these projects, CCCE will own these assets. Depcom has provided CCCE with operations and maintenance quotes although those services are anticipated to be separately solicited.
Benefits/Risks of FMES Ownership Model
Costs: Ownership of the anticipated FMES batteries can achieve potential cost savings between 3% and 13% at the end of the typical contract term when compared to the current market costs associated with a long-term offtake agreement. Savings are influenced by CCCE project delivery capabilities, cost of operation and maintenance, site control activities, insurance, and financing costs. CCCE can reap the full economic benefit of turnkey battery delivery models when the system is actively managed and monitored to deliver optimal performance.
Potential risks with the turnkey model include the upfront project financing, potential degradation of the battery, and the ongoing variable costs associated with site control and maintenance. Risks associated with the upfront project financing can be mitigated through a bond financing that spreads ownership costs over the life of the assets. Staff anticipates that favorable bonding terms and life expectancy depreciation would minimize (or offset) any rate impacts from the upfront expenditure associated with ownership. The operation and maintenance of the battery system become critical to recouping upfront costs and materializing savings over the life of the battery.
Operational: The turnkey approach can provide greater operational control to CCCE. Ownership will provide CCCE greater operational control to charge and discharge the battery to optimize operations around CCCE needs, whether those are firming solar deliveries, optimizing energy arbitrage, or potential islanding during high stress grid events.
198 of 204
Additionally, CCCE will have greater control, and higher likelihood of success, at utilizing PG&E’s Community Microgrid Enablement Tariff and Program.
As referenced above, the risk of battery degradation could materially alter the savings anticipated over the life of the battery system. Battery degradation is generally the increased inefficiency of the battery and reduced capacity caused by the interactions of the battery chemicals and material components.
Degradation is generally not linear with rapid degradation occurring quickly after a point. The increase of lithium-ion applications for electric vehicles have disrupted the previously accepted “declining cost curve” model that most assumed would make degradation a minor operational impact. In addition to contracting for operations and maintenance services, CCCE anticipates exploring diverse battery technologies, and keeping the turnkey project centered on the small FMES effort to reduce degradation impacts.
Project Delivery: The current market for battery materials, manufacturing, and delivery is impacted by ongoing COVID 19 and supply chain issues. Under the turnkey model, CCCE is responsible for design, procurement, interconnection, construction, commissioning, insurance, operations, and decommissioning. While it is important to partner with industry experts in each of these areas, the turnkey model allows CCCE to be directly involved in these important processes and have decision-making authority that can reduce unexpected costs. Moreover, because the FMES sites are located on member agency sites, the turnkey model keeps CCCE as the main point of interface with its member agencies to ensure site access, reduce operational impacts to civic operations, and address emergency issues should they arise in the future.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with this report at this time. Given the potential aggregate cost of the initiative, a debt issuance may be the most prudent path forward to finance the projects. This will limit rate shock and maintain CCCE’s cash reserves. Staff have completed a Ratings Evaluation Service (RES) analysis with S&P; the analysis indicated CCCE is well-positioned to issue up to $160 Million in debt, with ratings impact dependent on the specifics of the issuance. Staff will continue to analyze and lay the foundation for a potential bond issuance, a formal capital budget, and the accounting and financial processes necessary to support the projects. Further details will be provided to the Board as the project plan moves forward.
CONCLUSION:
The Policy Board’s support of the turnkey model allows CCCE to further evaluate how to reduce inherent risks and manage battery system delivery in the manner most likely to reduce costs, provide greater operational control, and streamline project delivery.

Staff Report Item 16
TO: CCCE Policy Board of Directors
FROM: Tom Habashi, Chief Executive Officer
SUBJECT: Resolution in Support of Senate Bill 1020 (Laird, Caballero, Durazo, and Atkins) DATE: June 15, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend that the Board approve the attached Resolution supporting Senate Bill 1020 and encouraging further work with the authors on incremental improvements.
BACKGROUND:
Senate Bill (SB) 1020 is a major climate bill co-authored by fifteen senators including the three representing CCCE communities (Senators Caballero, Laird, and Limón) and Senate President pro Tempore Atkins. The bill contains two major actions aimed at addressing climate change urgently while mitigating the financial impact of this transition on the most vulnerable Californians.
Interim GHG Targets:
SB 1020 introduces interim GHG reduction targets for the electricity sector meant to ensure adequate progress towards meeting the requirement of 100% clean energy by 2045 set by SB 100 in 2018. SB 1020 would require eligible renewable and zero-carbon resources to supply:
- 90% of retail electricity sales to California end-use customers by the end of 2035 - 95% of retail electricity sales to California end-use customers by the end of 2040 - 100% of retail electricity sales to California end-use customers by the end of 2045 (a reaffirmation of SB 100)
The bill also accelerates the deadline for state agencies to procure 100% eligible renewable and carbon-free electricity from 2045 to 2030.
The California Affordable Decarbonization Authority (“the Authority”) SB 1020 would also create a new entity to help fund climate- and energy- related public benefit programs that are currently funded through delivery-side electricity rates. The California Affordable Decarbonization Authority (“the Authority”) would be a nonprofit public benefit corporation governed by an independent board appointed by the governor and state legislature. The Authority would be responsible for managing and distributing funds from a Climate and Equity Trust Fund (“the Trust 200 of 204
Fund”), which SB 1020 also creates and authorizes to fund a wide variety of activities related to climate change, clean energy, affordability, and equity:1
1) Stable and affordable electricity rates.
2) Decarbonization and clean energy initiatives.
3) Transportation and building electrification initiatives. 4) Distributed energy resource programs.
5) Public purpose programs, including energy efficiency programs, research and development, and low-income customer discounts.
6) Equity initiatives to assist electricity customers in disadvantaged communities. 7) Wildfire mitigation activities.
SB 1020 notably does not fund the Trust Fund directly, but rather authorizes a list of sources from which the Trust Fund may receive money in the future:2
1) Moneys received from the federal government that are transferred to the trust fund. 2) Moneys received from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund that are transferred to the trust fund.
3) Moneys from noncompliance penalties assessed by the commission, Energy Commission, or State Air Resources Board that are transferred to the trust fund. 4) Interest earned on any moneys in the trust.
5) Any properties or securities acquired through the use of moneys belonging to the trust and all earnings of those properties or securities.
6) All other moneys received by the trust fund from any other source.
In summation, SB 1020 would create a new funding vehicle that could begin to shift the cost responsibility for climate change mitigation and adaptation in the energy space away from electricity rates. Creation of this vehicle is the first step and filling it with funding from the state budget or any of the other sources listed above would come next. In the meantime, the programs authorized to receive funding from the Trust Fund would continue to be funded through delivery-side electricity rates. But the existence of the Fund raises the possibility of reducing or eliminating these fees in the future.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The interim GHG targets SB 1020 introduces are still slower than CCCE’s adopted goal of 100% clean energy by 2030, so they are in line with CCCE’s mission of accelerating decarbonization but should not require changes to CCCE’s procurement strategy or decisions.
Regarding the second part of the bill, SB 1020 represents a major shift in thinking about where the cost responsibly for electricity public benefit programs should lie. As stated above, these programs have historically been and are currently funded through electricity rates on the delivery side, meaning they 1 SB 1020 Section 6: Division 8, Part 1, 19000(e)(1-7). 2 SB 1020 Section 6: Division 8, Part 3, 19020(b)(1-6). 201 of 204
are paid for by all Californians regardless of generation provider. By opening the door to reducing those fees in the future by replacing them with other sources of funding, SB 1020 would set the stage for reducing overall electricity costs and total energy burden for all Californians.
This would have benefits for both equity and decarbonization. On the equity side, it could help lower electricity bills for vulnerable households and introduce more flexibility to mitigate the potentially regressive impacts of funding programs through electricity rates. On the decarbonization side, lower electricity rates would make decarbonization of buildings and transportation more economically attractive, complementing the electrification infrastructure and incentives that some of these programs provide. All of these benefits would become more pronounced if the funding needed by some of the eligible programs, particularly wildfire mitigation, continues to increase in the future.
CCCE staff are recommending that the Board support SB 1020 on the grounds that it is a significant new idea in electricity policy that all Californians including CCCE customers could benefit from. As the Resolution states, CCCE staff believe there could still be some incremental improvements to the bill and are working with other CCAs and the authors’ offices to incorporate these into the language. They include most notably, clarification of the language addressing CCA and other load-serving entity access to funds distributed by the Trust Fund. However, staff find the ideas in SB 1020 to be overall beneficial to CCCE customers and recommend taking a support position on the bill through the attached Resolution while continuing to work with the authors on incremental improvements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
SB 1020 would not have any direct or immediate fiscal impact on CCCE. The programs and activities that would be eligible to receive funding through the Trust Fund are currently funded through charges on the delivery side of the electricity bill. This means they are paid by all Californians regardless of whether they take generation service from a CCA, investor-owned utility or any other type of generation provider. In the long term, if the Trust Fund receives money from the state budget or other authorized sources, this money could offset the current delivery side charges and result in lower electricity bills for CCCE customers. The size of that impact will depend on how much funding the Trust Fund receives but will not vary by generation provider and thus should not impact CCCE’s competitiveness with other generation providers.
CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, CCCE staff believe that Senate Bill 1020 introduces a significant and beneficial new approach to funding California’s response to climate change in the electricity sector and encourage the Board to approve the attached resolution in support of the bill.
