Page 2 of 4 ends

Special Counsel Ty Tosdal updated the Board on the following items: Net Energy Metering (NEM) Revised Proposed Decision commenting that the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is scheduled to vote on the NEM 3.0 which if adopted will change NEM to Net Billing rate. The revised proposed decision revises export compensation to reflect the Avoided Cost Calculator (ACC) providing for the amount of compensation a rooftop solar owner earns on the power that they put onto the grid to reflect the ACC which changes each year, the calculator is used to determine avoided transmission and distribution costs and is expected to result in substantial reduction in export compensation for existing solar owners. Analysis from the solar industry indicates an average export compensation reduction of 75% per kilowatt hour. In addition, the new proposed decision modifies the transition period and credits and eliminates grid participation charges for the time being but will be addressed in the demand flexibility proceeding.

CEO Boswell commented that this portion of the billing only relates to the SDG&E side of the bill (transmission and distribution) and CEA still has the ability to maintain the current NEM rate offerings for the generation side of the bill. Additional information will be provided once the decision is adopted.

Board received and filed report.

Staff Report
DATE: January 26, 2023
TO: Clean Energy Alliance Board of Directors
FROM: Barbara Boswell, Chief Executive Officer
ITEM 2: Consider Approval of the 2023 Clean Energy Alliance Legislative and Regulatory Policy Platform

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Clean Energy Alliance 2022 Legislative and Regulatory Policy Platform.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Clean Energy Alliance’s (CEA) CEA Legislative and Regulatory Policy Platform (Platform) states that the Board shall review and update the Platform as appropriate each January. The Platform serves as a guide to the CEA Board and staff in their advocacy efforts related to policy matters of interest at the state legislature and California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). It allows both Board Members and staff to pursue actions at the legislative and regulatory levels in a consistent manner and with the understanding that they are pursuing actions in the best interest of CEA and its mission, member agencies, and customers. It provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer to support or oppose positions that should be taken on legislative and regulatory matters that come before the California Community Choice Association (CalCCA) Board of Directors.

The adopted Platform was developed to be consistent with the CEA Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Agreement. Specifically, the JPA Agreement identifies the following purposes of CEA:
• Procuring/developing electrical energy for customers; • Addressing climate change by reducing energy-related greenhouse gas emissions; • Promoting electrical rate price stability and cost savings; • Fostering consumer choice;
• Local economic development, such as job creation, local energy programs, and local power development.

Four basic principles were developed to ensure CEA’s ability to achieve its purposes as stated above.

January 26, 2023
Legislative and Regulatory Policy
Platform

Page 2 of 2 ends

The Platform is centered around these four principles:

1. Protecting CEA’s local control for the purpose of preserving the ability to self-procure power resources, to self-determine rates and the energy programs offered to residents, businesses, and the communities it serves, through the mechanisms of local governance.

2. Ensuring fair treatment of CEA customers by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and other state agencies.

3. Supporting recognition that electricity is an essential service, and that CEA should have the ability to set electric rates that are affordable and competitive to the utilities.

4. Pursuing environmental initiatives that exceed minimum State mandates, promote the growth in renewable energy capacity at the local level, encourage clean energy adoption by CEA customers, and reduce fossil fuel dependency.

Considering CEA’s purpose and the principles above, the Platform establishes the following positions:
• CEA will support legislation and regulatory actions which enables, protects and enhances the development and expansion of Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs, and that supports CCA independence in procurement, program deployment, management and decision making.
• CEA will support legislation and regulatory actions which allows CEA to develop and procure local energy generation resources to meet the needs of its electric customers. • CEA will support legislation and regulatory actions which promote a neutral, fair and competitive energy market.
• CEA will oppose legislation and regulatory actions that jeopardize CEA’s independence to self-procure its power resources, determine its rates and the energy programs it provides to its customers in the present, or could restrict its independence to do so in the future.

CEA’s priorities and goals have not changed, and as a result there are no recommended changes to the 2023 Legislative and Regulatory Policy Platform as compared to the 2022 Platform.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action.

The Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) Board of Directors desires to establish the 2023 Legislative and Regulatory Policy Platform to guide the CEA Board and staff in their advocacy efforts and engagement on policy matters of interest to CEA. The Platform allows both Board Members and staff to pursue actions at the legislative and regulatory levels in a consistent manner and with the understanding that they are pursuing actions in the best interest of CEA and its mission, its member agencies and its customers. The Platform enables the organization to move swiftly to respond to legislative and regulatory events. The Platform also provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer on the support or oppose positions that should be taken on legislative and regulatory matters that come before the California Community Choice Association (CalCCA) Board of Directors.

Unless otherwise approved by the Board, all CEA positions on individual bills will be presented to the Board for approval. For urgent legislative or regulatory matters where time is of the essence, the Chief Executive Officer, with Board Chair concurrence, will take a position, consistent with the Policy Platform and report the action to the full Board at the next Board meeting.

Policy Principles
CEA supports legislation and regulatory actions that enables, protects, and enhances CEA’s priorities and ability to serve its customers as determined by the CEA Board of Directors.

The Legislative and Regulatory Policy Platform is centered around four basic principles:

2. Ensuring fair treatment of CEA customers by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and other state agencies.

3. Supporting recognition that electricity is an essential service, and that CEA should have the ability to set electric rates that are affordable and competitive to the utilities.

CEA will support legislation and regulatory actions which enables, protects, and enhances the development and expansion of Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs, and that Item 2 Attachment
2023 Legislative and Policy Platform
Updated January 26, 2023
2 supports CCA independence in procurement, program deployment, management and decision making.

CEA will support legislation and regulatory actions which allow CEA to develop and procure local energy generation resources to meet the needs of its electric customers.

CEA will support legislation and regulatory actions which promote a neutral, fair, and competitive energy market.

CEA will oppose legislation and regulatory actions that jeopardize CEA’s independence to self-procure power resources, determine rates and the energy programs it provides to customers in the present, or could restrict its independence to do so in the future.

The Legislative and Regulatory Policy Platform is to be reviewed and updated every January.

ITEM 3: Consider Approval of Clean Energy Alliance Policy #CEA-021 Rate Adjustment Public Hearing Noticing Policy

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Clean Energy Alliance Policy #CEA-021 Rate Adjustment Public Hearing Noticing Policy.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Rate Adjustment Public Hearing Noticing Policy is being recommended in compliance of Clean Energy Alliance’s (CEA) Implementation Plan and Statement of Intent Section 8.10, Disclosure and Due Process in Setting Rates and Allocation Costs Among Participants, which states that affected customers of a rate adjustment will be given the opportunity to provide comment on the proposed rate changes. It further states that CEA will provide affected customers with a notice of its intent to adjust rates.

Proposed Policy #CEA-021 Public Hearing Noticing
The proposed policy for the Board’s consideration establishes procedures related to providing customers notice of a rate adjustment. Specifically, the policy requires:
• Minimum 10 days’ notice of any rate public hearing shall be:
o Posted to CEA’s website
o And at least one of the following other ways
 Pursuant to Government Code Section 6062a;
 By mailing notice postage paid to affected customers;  By including notice as an insert to the regular bill for charges transmitted to affected customers; or
 By including a related message directly on the customer’s monthly electricity bill (on the page addressing CEA charges).

The notices are to include a summary of the proposed rate adjustment as well as include a link to the CEA program website where information regarding the amount of the proposed rate adjustment a brief statement of the reasons for the rate adjustment and CEA’s address to which any customer inquiries relative to the proposed adjustment, including a request by the customer to receive notice of the date, time and place of any hearing on the proposed adjustment may be directed.

Rate Adjustment Public Hearing Noticing Policy

1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this Rate Adjustment Public Hearing Noticing Policy (Policy) is to clarify the notice required for public hearings conducted by Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) related to rate adjustments.

2.0 POLICY
It shall be the Policy of the Board of Directors of CEA to hold a public hearing on any proposed rate adjustment. Unless otherwise required by law, CEA shall give at least 10 days’ notice of any such public hearing by posting the notice on CEA’s website and providing notice in at least one of the following ways:

FROM: Barbara Boswell, Chief Executive Officer
ITEM 4: Consideration of the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency to determine whether the legislative bodies of Clean Energy Alliance will continue to hold meetings via teleconferencing and making findings pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)

RECOMMENDATION
Continue meetings by teleconferencing pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e), find that: (1) the Board has considered the circumstances of the state of emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic; and (2) the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 361 amending the Brown Act to allow local agencies to meet remotely during declared emergencies under certain conditions. AB 361 authorizes local agencies to continue meeting remotely without following the Brown Act’s standard teleconferencing provisions, including the requirement that meetings be conducted in physical locations, under specified conditions. Namely, the meeting is held during a state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor and either of the following applies: (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or (2) the agency has already determined or is determining whether, as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

The Board of Directors and CEA’s other legislative bodies have met using teleconferencing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to protect the health and safety of the public and staff. On January 12, 2023, the Board of Directors determined that the factual circumstances exist for CEA to continue to hold meetings pursuant to AB 361.

March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (the “Emergency”). The Emergency continues to exist. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to advise that COVID-19 spreads more easily indoors than outdoors and that people are more likely to be exposed to COVID-19 when they are closer than six feet apart from others for longer periods of time. Based on this advice and as a result of the emergency, the Board determined that meeting in person presents imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

AB361 Findings

Page 2 of 3 ends

On October 17, 2022, Governor Newsom announced the State of Emergency would end on February 28, 2023.

To continue meeting remotely pursuant to AB 361, an agency must make periodic findings that: (1) the body has reconsidered the circumstances of the declared emergency; and (2) the emergency impacts the ability of the body’s members to meet safely in person, or state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing. These findings should be made not later than 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time pursuant to AB 361, and every 30 days thereafter.

The County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) tracks COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. As demonstrated by the chart1 below, taken from the HHSA website, the Case Rate per 100,000 7-Day Rolling Average, while it is trending down, continues to be more than double where it was in early October. As of January 7, the rate per 100,000 is 14.25, compared to 7.68 on October 9, 2022.

Also attached is the County of San Diego COVID-19 Weekly Update (Update) dated January 12, 2023, prepared by Live Well San Diego.

Average Daily Case Rate per 100,000 and Testing Positivity Percentage for the period 12/1/2022 – 1/12/2023, updated weekly. The chart below represents the data from the Update.

As reporting in the Update, the case rate per 100,000 and testing positivity percentage continue to be higher than a month ago.

Based on the data on current case rate and in light of the continuing State of Emergency, staff recommends the Board and Community Advisory to continue meeting via teleconferencing.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact by this action.

According to CDC, several factors likely affect crude case rates by vaccination and booster dose status, making interpretation of recent trends difficult. Limitations include higher prevalence of previous infection among the unvaccinated and un-boosted groups; difficulty in accounting for time since vaccination and waning protection; and possible differences in testing practices ( such as at-home tests) and prevention behaviors by age and vaccination status. *An unvaccinated hospitalization, or death is one that occurs in a person who has not received a COVID-19 vaccine. Partially vaccinated persons are excluded. †A vaccinated hospitalization or death is one that occurs in a person who received at least two doses of a two-dose vaccine series (e.g., Pfizer, Moderna) or one dose of a one-dose series (e.g., Johnson & Johnson) at least 2 weeks before they tested positive for COVID-19. This includes persons who have received a monovalent or bivalent booster dose.

San Diego County Population from SANDAG 2019 Population Estimates (Prepared June 2020) for persons 5 years of age and older = 3,144,061. The vaccinated population for each day is the cumulative number of county residents 5 years of age and older documented to have received the final or booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to that day. The unvaccinated population is the estimated county population 5 years of age and older minus the partially vaccinated, fully vaccinated, and boosted populations.

Item 5 Attachment A
Overview
POLR Ruling and Staff Proposal (R. 21-03-011)
Integrated Resource Plan: Supplemental Reliability (R. 20-05-003) SDG&E GRC I: Public Participation Hearings (A. 22-05-016) POLR: Ruling and Staff Proposal
CPUC issued a ruling and staff proposal in the Provider of Last Resort (POLR) proceeding on January 6, 2023.

Detailed staff proposal provides suggestions and ideas regarding various aspects of the proceeding including:
q Deregistration window
q Contract assignment
q Financial monitoring
q Liquidity
q Affordability
q Authorization to draw on Financial Security Instrument (FSR) Ruling schedules two additional workshops followed by a comment period.

POLR: Staff Proposal
Energy Division identifies summer months as a time period that should be avoided for customer returns due to high procurement costs.

POLR: Staff Proposal
Energy Division proposes heightened “reporting” requirements for CCAs that are at risk.

LSEs that meet any one of the following criteria are considered at risk:
• Downgrade below investment grade credit rating
• Days Liquidity on Hand (DLOH) is less than 45 days and Debt Service Coverage Ratio falls below 1.0
• Cash reserves are below 5% of annual expenses
• Default on procurement contract required to meet Resource Adequacy requirements or to the CAISO scheduling coordinator due to non-payment, or
• Insolvency or bankruptcy.

POLR: Staff Proposal
Heightened “reporting” requirements:

CCAs that meet one of the at-risk criteria would be required do the following:
• Submit a confidential letter to the Director of Energy Division • Meet with Energy Division as requested, up to one meeting per month, and provide:
o Report energy and hedging contracts for the next six months; o Status of all procurement contracts, including those at risk of default; • Provide detailed financial information as requested by the Commission including, but not limited to:
o Most recent financial statements
o Monthly report of DLOH and Debt service ratios
• Plan for financial correction and/or market exit.

POLR: Staff Proposal
Energy Division proposes deferring discussion of PG&E’s proposed liquidity pool until Phase 2 of the proceeding.

PG&E, in comments on the May 2, 2022, ruling in this proceeding, argued that there is a two-month lag between energy procurement and collecting generation revenue from returning customers that could leave IOUs short on cash.

For various reasons, Energy Division proposes that the creation of an insurance pool and other liquidity concerns be addressed in Phase 2 of the proceeding.

Following conditions must be present before an insurance pool can be adopted:
• Financial entity that is willing to administer the service • Structure that does not rely on remaining CCAs to replenish the pool • IOU/POLR would need to replenish the cash used to finance upfront liquidity • Insurance pool may or may not incorporate the coverage of the FSR/reentry fees POLR: Staff Proposal
Energy Division is concerned with the affordability of FSRs and makes two proposals.

1. Ramping Period for New CCAs: CCAs may request a ramping period for new CCAs and FSRs that are above a certain amount for the first FSR posting due after a final decision in Phase 1.

2. Demonstration of Adequate Hedging Contracts: CCAs that demonstrate adequate hedging contracts may be used to reduce the FSR, to the extent contracts can be used to reduce the cost of reentry.

POLR: Staff Proposal
As part of the deregistration process, Energy Division proposes that IOUs be pre-authorized to draw on the FSR before the Commission approves an Advice Letter:

IOUs need to have access to the FSR immediately in order to ensure they have the liquidity available and that the Letter of Credit does not expire. Therefore, the POLR shall draw upon the FSR prior to the Advice Letter approval, regardless of a protest, and deposit the funds into a balancing account.

Any over-drafting of the FSR shall be reimbursed to the CCA (or participating municipalities) upon Commission approval of the second advice letter, regarding reentry fee collection.

POLR: Ruling
Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Ruling establishes the following schedule:

January 26, 2023 – Energy Division workshop regarding staff proposal March 7, 2023 – IOU workshop to walk through sample FSR calculations March 21, 2023 – Opening Comments
April 7, 2023 – Reply Comments
+ 10 Days – Joint Case Management Statement
IRP: Proposed Decision
Proposed Decision (PD) adopts:
• Modifications to the baseline resource requirements
• Additional mid-term reliability procurement requirements • CAISO Transmission Planning Process (TPP) recommendations Opening Comments Due February 13, 2023.

IRP: Proposed Decision
The Proposed Decision adopts baseline modifications.

1. Adopts a “swap” process that allows an LSE to nominate a project on the D.19-11-016 and/or D.21-06-035 baseline generator list to be considered for removal.

2. An equal amount of procurement obligation in NQC will then be added to the LSE’s 2025 procurement obligation under the provisions of D.21-06-035.

3. Removed projects can be counted towards either procurement obligation (D.19-11-016 or D.21-06-035) and its NQC will be based on the decision for which it is being counted for compliance.

4. If a new LSE wants to contract for and count a baseline resource towards its IRP procurement obligation, when that LSE had previously not held a contract with the project and the original purchasing LSE has terminated the contract, the new LSE may also make a baseline waiver request to Commission staff.

IRP: Proposed Decision
IRP: Proposed Decision
Procurement Requirements:

1. LSEs are allowed to show compliance with the 2,000 MW LLT requirement at any time between 2026-2028.

2. LSEs are required to procure 2,000 MW of September NQC resources by June 1, 2026.

3. LSEs are required to procure 2,000 MW of September NQC resources by June 1, 2027.

4. Resources must be non-emitting, storage, and/or RPS eligible, but not fossil-fueled resources.

5. Procurement requirements will be allocated among all LSEs using a combination of both the 2021 year-ahead resource adequacy forecasts and the energy load forecasts of individual LSEs from the 2020 IEPR for 2021.

IRP: Proposed Decision
Specific LSE capacity allocations will be announced later.

The proposed decision does not include a table that allocates capacity and other procurement obligations to specific LSEs, like previous decisions. Rather, it states that the allocations will be based on ELCC studies to be published by Commission staff for the year in which procurement is done and will be announced no later than the end of 2023.

Stakeholders will be notified via service list.

Deadline for 2026 resources under D. 21-06-035 have been extended to 2028.

The proposed decision amends the LLT requirement in D. 21-06-035 to allow any LSE to show compliance with its LLT requirements at any time between 2026 and 2028. Effectively, this moves the requirement for 2,000 MW of LLT resources to 2028, instead of 2026.

How it Works
CEA buys electricity and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) continues to deliver it to your home. Local control over buying energy allows CEA to make better investments in clean power. SDG&E will continue to handle billing and delivery to homes and businesses.

Benefits
Because CEA is a locally managed, not-for-profit entity, any excess revenue generated by CEA will be reinvested in the community through innovative energy projects, rebate programs and other incentives. CEA is designed to empower the local community through local control, clean power, competitive rates, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and more. CEA offers 3 power supply products: Clean Impact 50% renewable; Clean Impact Plus 75% Carbon Free and Green Impact 100% Renewable. Each city will select a default for their community and customers have the options to select from the other two options. Customers may also choose to opt out and remain with SDG&E. For more information on how to opt up or opt out, please visit TheCleanEnergyAlliance.org or call (833) 232-3110.

CLEAN ENERGY. MORE CHOICES.

LOCALLY CONTROLLED.

On April 1, 2023, residents and businesses of Escondido and San Marcos will have a new default energy provider: Clean Energy Alliance (CEA). CEA, a locally controlled not-for-profit entity also known as a Community Choice Energy program, will offer clean power at competitive rates.

CEA was formed by the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar and Solana Beach to help meet the goals of each municipality’s Climate Action Plan. The program is locally managed and available exclusively to residents and businesses within member cities. The program is governed by the CEA Board of Directors, made up of elected officials from each city.

Clean Energy Alliance will become the Default Electric Provider in the cities of Escondido and San Marcos (Beginning April 2023) Attention Escondido and San Marcos Residents & Businesses In April 2023, Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) will replace San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) as your default provider for the power generation portion of your electric service. CEA is a local power supply program that will work in partnership with SDG&E to bring you electricity from renewable sources. SDG&E will continue to deliver power to your home or business, maintain the grid and all equipment, open and close accounts, provide billing and collection of payments, and provide customer service and field service (including during power outages).

There will be no change to automatic payments or level rate pay plans.

ENROLLMENT: Beginning April 2023, CEA will become the default electric power provider within the cities of Escondido and San Marcos.

You will be automatically enrolled in CEA’s default program on that date.

If you would like to continue as an SDG&E customer for energy and do not want to be automatically enrolled with CEA, you must opt out of the automatic enrollment. To opt out, without penalty, you must call (833) 232-3110 or visit our website at www.TheCleanEnergyAlliance. org by within 60 days of starting service with CEA. You may also call or visit our website for additional information. You only need to take action if you want to opt out and remain an SDG&E customer.

OPT OUT: You have the right to opt out of CEA. If you decide to opt out and return to SDG&E after the 60-day opt out period, SDG&E will charge a one-time account processing fee. By opting out, you will also be subject to SDG&E’s then current rates and terms and conditions of service. For details on SDG&E’s rates and terms and conditions, please visit SDG&E.com. You will not be charged any fees if you opt out within the first 60 days after your automatic enrollment with CEA or if you cancel electric service altogether (for example, if you move). If you opt out, you will still be charged for all electricity you used before the transfer of electric service. Accounts will be transferred on the day the electric meter is read and cannot be transferred during the middle of a billing cycle. In order for your request to be processed on your next meter read date, your request must be received at least 5 business days prior to the date on which the meter is read. To opt out, please call CEA or visit TheCleanEnergyAlliance.org. Have your electric bill handy so that we can process the request.

BILLING: Each month, CEA customers receive a single monthly bill from SDG&E. This bill includes all recent electric charges, including CEA’s power generation charges. For your convenience, SDG&E forwards the power generation portion of the payment to CEA. SDG&E will continue to charge you for the transmission and delivery services they provide.

FAILURE TO PAY: CEA may transfer your account back to SDG&E upon 14 calendar days’ written notice to you if you fail to pay any portion of the CEA charges on your bill. If your service is transferred, you may be subject to additional requirements by SDG&E.

CARE PROGRAM: If you are currently enrolled in the California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE) program, you will continue to receive all CARE benefits and discounts upon enrollment in CEA. If you are interested in joining the CARE program for low-income adults, please visit SDG&E.com

ITEM 6: Consider Adoption of Clean Energy Alliance Resolution No. 2023-001, Amending Resolution No. 2021-017, Setting Rates for Clean Energy Alliance Effective February 1, 2023

RECOMMENDATION

1. Conduct the Public Hearing: Open the Public Hearing, Receive Public Testimony and Close the Public Hearing.

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2023-001, amending Resolution No. 2021-017, setting rates for Clean Energy Alliance effective February 1, 2023.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) Board has authority to set rates that are charged to customers for energy consumed consistent with CEA’s policies and goals, which include:
● Rates set sufficient to generate revenue sufficient to cover costs ● Provide funds to meet financial reserve policy of minimum 5% contribution per year ● Meet credit facility covenants
● Maintain competitiveness with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) o Target minimum 2% customer savings on generation related costs as calculated on CEA’s Clean Impact 50% Renewable power supply product
● Provide customer rate stability – minimize rate changes For ease in customer understanding and comparison to SDG&E, CEA mirrors SDG&E rate schedules including time-of-use periods. In developing rates, CEA begins with SDG&E’s rate schedules, applies a 2% discount and deducts the highest exit fee from CEA’s customer vintages that SDG&E charges CEA customers. CEA analyzes the resulting revenue generated by these rates to determine revenue sufficiency. If rates are not sufficient to cover operating costs, the discount is adjusted until revenue sufficiency is achieved.

Current Financial Projections
CEA’s adopted rates effective for calendar year 2022 achieved CEA’s goals of generating sufficient revenues to cover its FY 22/23 costs and achieve the targeted minimum 2% generation cost savings January 26, 2023
Rate Adjustment

compared to SDG&E. CEA’s Fiscal Year 2022/23 budgeted power supply expenses were based on CEA’s contracted power supply costs and energy market conditions and forward price curves for open positions. Since those estimates were developed, the energy market has trended higher than anticipated and CEA incurred unexpected costs related to the September heat wave. These events have resulted in projected power supply costs to be higher than budgeted and current rates not sufficient to cover costs.

The chart below illustrates CEA’s projected revenues and expenses for the adopted budget and updated with current projections.

As shown in the chart above, at CEA’s current rates there are not sufficient revenues generated to cover the updated projected expenses through the end of the current fiscal year. This shortfall results in a need for CEA to increase its rates to ensure it is meeting not only its goals of rate set to generate sufficient revenue to cover costs but to also meet its requirements from the credit instrument with JPMorgan.

Proposed Rate Development
SDG&E’s rates are approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) through its Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) application. The application for 2023 rates was initially submitted to the CPUC in May 2022 and subsequently approved by the CPUC in December 2022. SDG&E’s final rates were submitted to the CPUC through Advice Letter 4129-E on December 30, 2022. It is these final rates that were utilized in calculating CEA’s proposed rates.

The resulting CEA rates, meets CEA’s goals as detailed above:

• Generate sufficient revenue to cover costs for current fiscal year • Provides a minimum 2% generation cost savings compared to SDG&E o Customer savings range from 2% - 25% depending on the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA or Exit Fee) vintage the customer is assigned • Meets credit facility covenants
• Provides rate stability – rates sufficient to cover costs through calendar year 2023 Per kWh Rate Comparison to SDG&E – Average Residential Customer The following chart compares the average per kWh CEA rate to SDG&E for an average residential customer for rates that were effective June 2022 and for SDG&E’s 1/1/2023 and CEA’s proposed rates.

The green bars represent CEA’s generation rate and the orange bar represent SDG&E’s generation rate and exit fees (orange portion on CEA’s green bar).

CEA charges all customers on the same rate schedule the same rate for electricity, regardless of their exit fee vintage. On the left side of the chart CEA’s generation rate, which is the rate that CEA charges customers for the electricity that customers use, at an average $.11 was 21% lower than SDG&E’s average $.14. When SDG&E’s exit fees were factored in, the average per kWh cost to a Solana Beach customer in the 2017 Exit Fee Vintage was 6% lower than SDG&E and for Carlsbad and Del Mar customers was an average 6% higher.

As proposed, CEA’s average generation rate increases 36% to $.15 per kWh (right half of the chart above). The proposed rate is 25% lower than SDG&E’s average rate. SDG&E’s approved rates increases January 26, 2023
Rate Adjustment

Page 4 of 6 ends

the average per kWh generation rate approximately 43% to an average $.20. When factoring in exit fees, the resulting costs savings by exit fee vintage is:
2017 Vintage (Solana Beach) 23% Savings
2020 Vintage (Carlsbad & Del Mar) 25% Savings
2022 Vintage (Escondido & San Marcos) 2% Savings
Impact of Proposed Rate Change - Average Residential Customer The tables below summarize the impact of proposed rate change for an average residential customer for each of three exit fee vintages. The comparison is based on comparing CEA’s Clean Impact, 50% minimum renewable power supply to SDG&E’s 40% base power supply product (Per SDG&E’s 2019 Power Content label, the most current information available).

Solana Beach customers assigned the 2017 PCIA vintage, using the 2022 rates the average residential customer saved an average $5.60 per month compared to what they would have paid SDG&E for the same electricity usage. Using the same usage and applying CEA’s proposed rates and SDG&E’s rates effective 1/1/2023, the customer will save an average $18.32 per month. CEA’s rate increase is offset by a decrease in exit fees charged by SDG&E resulting in a higher savings than was seen in 2022.

January 26, 2023
Rate Adjustment

Page 5 of 6 ends

Carlsbad and Del Mar customers assigned the 2020 PCIA vintage, using the 2022 rates the average residential customer was paying an average $1.26 more per month compared to what they would have paid SDG&E for the same electricity usage, due to the impact of SDG&E’s rate decrease in June 2022.

Using the same usage and applying CEA’s proposed rates and SDG&E’s rates effective 1/1/2023, the customer will save an average $20.43 per month. CEA’s rate increase is offset by a significant decrease in exit fees charged by SDG&E.

Escondido and San Marcos customers, who will be enrolled in April 2023, will be assigned the 2022 PCIA vintage. The 2022 vintage has a higher per kWh exit fee than the 2017 and 2022 vintages. This exit fee was used in developing rates to ensure the targeted minimum 2% generation cost savings is achieved.

When enrolled, Escondido and San Marcos residential customers will save an average $1.62 per month compared to what they would pay SDG&E for the same electricity usage.

January 26, 2023
Rate Adjustment

Page 6 of 6 ends

All customers, regardless of PCIA vintage, pay the same generation costs to CEA, the difference in the total bill is due to the differences in the PCIA rate that SDG&E charges CEA customers.

Customer Notification
CEA notified customers of the public hearing for the consideration of the rate adjustment by publishing a hearing notice in the Coast News on Thursday January 13 and January 20 (Attachment B) and issuing a press release on January 16 (Attachment C).

Recommendation
Staff recommends the CEA Board approve the updated rates by adopting Resolution No. 2023-001 amending Resolution No. 2021-017 setting rates for Clean Energy Alliance.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed rates generate sufficient revenue to cover costs in Fiscal Year 2022/23 and into the future.

Staff will return to the Board at its February 23, 2023, Board meeting with a recommend budget adjustment that takes into account the updated rates and current cost projections.

Clean Energy Alliance to Consider Rate Adjustment
Rate Public Hearing Scheduled for January 26, 2023
Carlsbad, CA — Clean Energy Alliance (CEA), the default energy provider for the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar and Solana Beach, and soon to be Escondido and San Marcos (April 2023) and Oceanside and Vista (April 2024), is considering a rate increase at the Board meeting on Thursday, January 26, 2023.

The rates for electricity, as proposed, are 25% lower than San Diego Gas & Electric’s (SDG&E) comparable generation rate for the average residential customer. Actual customer savings would range from 2%-25% depending on the exit fees charged by SDG&E. CEA competes with SDG&E on electricity generation service only, which makes up just a portion of a customer’s total electric bill. SDG&E continues to be responsible for the delivery of the electricity. CEA’s charges appear on the customer’s SDG&E bill.

Rates will provide sufficient revenue to cover costs while still providing savings for Carlsbad, Del Mar and Solana Beach customers. The proposed rates ensure a secure financial position now and into the future, representing a strong focus on fiscal responsibility.
“Through our first year of operation, CEA provided nearly $2.0 million in energy cost savings to its customers, and the proposed rates are expected to generate additional savings compared to SDG&E in 2023,” said CEA Board of Directors Chair David Druker.

While CEA has been impacted by rising electricity prices driven by high natural gas prices, power supply shortages from drought conditions and recent heat events, it still succeeds in providing a cost-competitive energy service for its customers.

If approved, the rates would become effective February 1, 2023.

The following chart reflects the average monthly impact of the proposed rate change for residential customers on the most common rate schedule:

NOTE: Savings differences are due to the variance in exit fees charged by SDG&E.

CEA offers three power supply products:
• Clean Impact – minimum 50% Renewable
• Clean Impact Plus – 50% Renewable and 75% Carbon Free • Green Impact – 100% Renewable
Customers in Carlsbad, Del Mar and Solana Beach are automatically enrolled in Clean Impact Plus and have the option to move into one of the other two power supply products.

CEA’s Rate Public Hearing will be held during the regular Board of Directors meeting on Thursday, January 26, 2023 at 2 p.m., with the public being able to participate via Zoom.

ITEM 7: Consider Approval of Clean Energy Alliance Working with San Diego Community Power in Exploring Establishment of a Regional Energy Network

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Clean Energy Alliance working with San Diego Community Power in exploring establishment of a Regional Energy Network and direct staff to return with results and next steps.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
One of the key goals of Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) is to establish programs that promote the achievement of each member agency’s Climate Action Plan goals through increased renewable energy procurement and implementation of programs. In these early stages of CEA, there are not currently available CEA surplus funds for programs, as such, staff is looking at other available funding sources for programs. Providing programs is another added value that CEA would offer to its customers.

Existing Programs
CEA currently offers the following programs to its customers, including:

Personal Impact – CEA’s Net Energy Metering program that establishes the credits, charges and compensation related to customer’s self-generation facilities such as rooftop solar and batteries.

OhmConnect – A demand response program that offers customers incentives to adjust energy usage during peak demand times.

Green Impact Champions – A new program that encourages enrollment in CEA’s 100% renewable power supply product Green Impact.

California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Funding Opportunities As a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program, CEA has access to tap into program funding through the CPUC. There are three pathways available to CEA within which to access those funds, each with their own unique processes. They include:

Evaluation of REN

Page 2 of 3 ends

• Elect-to-Administer (ETA)
o Least administratively burdensome method of accessing public funds administered by the CPUC for energy efficiency program funding;
o At least 9 CCAs are administering programs or actively pursuing ETA funding; o Process timeline is 9 – 12 months depending on staff resources and the types of proposed programs;
o Recipient agency must meet restrictive cost-effectiveness thresholds which make it difficult to design/implement innovative programs and limit the ability to target some customers;
o Available funding for CCAs has been declining over the past few years and is expected to continue to decline;
o Commercial/Industrial demand response programs have been a popular use of this funding by other CCAs to meet the restrictive cost-effectiveness requirements. • Apply to Administer (ATA)
o Most administratively burdensome method of accessing public funds administered by the CPUC to conduct energy efficiency programming; only one CCA known to have selected this pathway;
o Process timeline is estimated at 12 – 24 months depending on staff resources and the types of proposed programs;
o Restrictive cost-effectiveness requirements apply to the majority of proposed programs;
o Possibility for significant funding if appropriate justification is provided; o Programs are required to be open to everyone within the CCA service territory whether the customer is being served by CEA or not.
• Regional Energy Network (REN)
o Significant administrative effort to develop with on-going administrative effort dependent on governance structure;
o Currently five (5) RENs operating throughout California  SoCalREN
 BayREN
 3C-REN
 I-REN
 RuralREN
o No REN currently operating in San Diego area;
o Development timeline is 12-24 months depending on staff resources, conflicts with existing, overlapping program administrators and the sectors being targeted; o Not subject to cost-effectiveness requirements; intended to fill gaps in existing program offerings and to serve hard-to-reach customers; o Significant funding opportunities with appropriate justification (e.g. I-REN approved 6-year, $65M budget)
San Diego Community Power (SDCP) has approached CEA with a proposal to work together to evaluate establishment of a REN in San Diego for the purpose of accessing funding for programs to benefit both CEA and SCDP customers. SDCP has authorized initial funding to hire a consultant to assist in the evaluation and application processes.

ITEM 8: Consider Re-Appointment of Clean Energy Alliance Community Advisory Committee Members for Cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach for Terms Through December 2025

RECOMMENDATION
1) Re-Appoint Dolores Davies Jamison to Clean Energy Alliance Community Advisory Committee for Del Mar for term through December 2025.
2) Re-Appoint Debra Schade to Clean Energy Alliance Community Advisory Committee for Solana Beach for term through December 2025.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Per Board adopted policy, each member agency of Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) has two appointments to the Community Advisory Committee (CAC). Each appointee serves a three-year term, with terms being staggered. The cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach have CAC appointment that ended in December 2022.

Dolores Davies Jamison was appointed by the CEA Board to the CAC on August 25, 2022, to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of one of Del Mar’s CAC appointees. The term of the appointment was through December 2022. Due to the recent appointment to the CAC and her interest in continuing to serve, staff recommends re-appoint Dolores Davies Jamison for the Del Mar CAC term through December 2025.

Debra Schade was one of the initial appointments to the CAC representing the City of Solana Beach. Her term ended December 2022. Solana Beach recently recruited for another CAC vacancy in August 2022, with only one application being submitted. Due to the results of the recent recruitment, and Ms.

Schade’s interest in continuing to serve, staff recommends re-appointment of Debra Schade for the Solana Beach CAC term through December 2025.

Per Clean Energy Alliance’s (CEA’s) Joint Power Agreement (JPA) Section 4.8, the CEA Board shall establish the date, hour, and place of each regular Board meeting annually by resolution. Section 1 of CEA’s Bylaws states that the Board shall set the meeting schedule by adoption of a resolution establishing the calendar of regular meetings for the following fiscal year, setting the date, time, and place.

Pursuant to CEA’s JPA and Bylaws, on May 26, 2022, CEA’s Board adopted Resolution No. 2022-002 Setting the Time and Place for CEA’s Board meetings July 2022 - June 2023. At the time of the adoption, CEA had five (5) member cities: Carlsbad, Del Mar, Escondido, San Marcos, and Solana Beach.

Resolution No. 2022-002 set the City of San Marcos as the physical location of CEA’s Board meetings through June 30, 2023. By way of practice, CEA’s Community Advisory Committee meets at the same location that was set by the Resolution.

Since the setting of the current meeting schedule, the cities of Oceanside and Vista have joined CEA.

Based on the new service territory, the Board directed staff to evaluate the feasibility of CEA’s Board and CAC meetings being held at the City of Oceanside.

Pursuant to Board direction, CEA staff consulted with City Oceanside staff and conducted a test run of broadcasting CEA’s meetings from Oceanside City Council Chambers. Through the evaluation, staff concluded that the location could accommodate the 7-member board and the current meeting schedule of the last Thursday of each month, 2pm for Board meetings and first Thursday of even months at 2pm for CAC meetings.

Throughout the COVID-19 state of emergency, CEA has been meeting via teleconference as permitted by law. CEA’s meetings have been held via Zoom, and live streamed through both Zoom and CEA’s January 26, 2023

YouTube channel. Through the testing at Oceanside, it was determined that the in person meetings could be live-streamed through Zoom but not through CEA’s YouTube channel. Should the Board desire to meet in person at Oceanside CEA’s meetings would be broadcast live through Zoom with the recordings being posted to both CEA’s website and its YouTube channel after the video recording becomes available.

Should the Board desire to change from the current physical location of San Marcos as meeting place, staff would return to the Board at its February 23, 2023, Board meeting with a proposed resolution that amends Resolution No. 2022-002 updating the location to reflect Board direction. The new meeting schedule would be effective for meetings beginning in March 2023.
