ITEM 3: Receive Presentation of Power Charge Indifference Adjustment from Keyes & Fox

RECOMMENDATION
Receive presentation of Power Charge Indifference Adjustment from Keyes and Fox.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), also known as the “exit fee” is charged to customers that receive their electric generation service from another provider, such as Clean Energy Alliance (CEA).

The law requires that the remaining San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) customers be “indifferent” to another customers provider choice.

SDG&E has entered into contracts for energy for the customers that have departed, and these contracts are now being liquidated on the open market. To the extent that SDG&E incurs any losses on the liquidation, the losses are made up by CEA customers through the exit fee. SDG&E charges the exit fees to customers monthly based on the customer’s energy usage. Customers are assigned a vintage based on when customer left SDG&E.

CEA customers are served under three different PCIA vintages as detailed below:

Solana Beach 2017 PCIA Vintage
Carlsbad & Del Mar 2020 PCIA Vintage
Escondido & San Marcos 2022 PCIA Vintage
Oceanside & Vista 2023 PCIA Vintage
SDG&E sets the PCIA rates through its annual Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) rate setting process. CEA has engaged the services of Keyes and Fox to assist with participating in this rate setting process to ensure the rates are set pursuant to CPUC guidelines.

The 2023 PCIA rates (per kWh) for CEA’s customers are listed in the table below:

February 23, 2023
PCIA Overview

Category 2017 Vintage 2020 Vintage 2022 Vintage 2023 Vintage Residential $0.00395 ($0.00116) $0.04437 $0.04439
Small Commercial $0.00229 ($0.00081) $0.04774 $0.04775
Med & Lg Commercial $0.00197 ($0.00162) $0.05483 $0.05485 Agriculture $0.00179 ($0.00081) $0.04184 $0.04185
Streetlighting $0.00227 ($0.00070) $0.03873 $0.03875
Due to the current market value of the contracts in the 2020 Vintage portfolio, customers in that vintage will receive a credit on their bill each month calculated at the per kWh usage times the rate. The 2022 Vintage is significantly higher than the other vintages due SDG&E undercollecting revenue during 2022, resulting in a supplemental charge being added to the 2022 Vintage exit fee. The supplement is set to address the undercollection during 2023.

ITEM 4: Consideration of Approval to Pursue Establishment of a Distributed Microgrid Program for Clean Energy Alliance

RECOMMENDATION
Receive presentation and approve pursuit of establishment of a Distributed Microgrid Program for CEA and direct staff to return with the required documents to establish the program.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) has had preliminary discussions with a team from Tesla, Inc and Participate Energy regarding a new and innovative solar and battery storage program.

Through this program, CEA would create a distributed microgrid system comprised of solar and battery storage systems installed at CEA residential customer homes. The customer would have the opportunity to have a solar and battery storage system installed with no down payment and no credit check. CEA continues to be the power provider for the customer, and the customer pays for the energy usage and the battery storage based on a new program to be proposed to the Board. The charges related to the program would appear on the customer’s SDG&E bill as CEA’s charges do now.

CEA’s Community Advisory Committee (CAC) received a program overview presentation at their February 2, 2023, meeting, and after hearing the presentation and discussion, determined that they recommend the Board approve pursuit of establishment of the program.

Should the Board authorize continued pursuit of the program, staff would work with the team to develop the structure of the program and bring the program to the CAC for their input. Staff would then return to the Board with the appropriate agreements and program details for Board approval.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no new fiscal impact to this action. Future costs of the program would be detailed in the next Board report, after the proposed program details have been developed.

FROM: Barbara Boswell, Chief Executive Officer
ITEM 5: 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
Subject to extension of the State of Emergency by Governor Newsom, 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
This item is before the Board for consideration in the event Governor Newsom extends the State of Emergency beyond February 28, 2023. By considering the current COVID-19 conditions and making the finding, the Board would have met the requirements to continue meeting virtually should conditions warrant.

The Brown Act has been amended, effective January 1, 2023, regarding elected officials participating in Board meetings via teleconference. CEA’s General Counsel will be reviewing these changes with the Board as part of Agenda Item No. 7 at this meeting.

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 26, 2023, February 23, 2023
AB361 Findings

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.

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, the Case Rate per 100,000 7-Day Rolling Average has leveled off since mid-January, while slightly higher than early November 2022.

Also attached is the County of San Diego COVID-19 Weekly Update (Update) dated February 16, 2023, prepared by Live Well San Diego. Page 6 of the Update provides, among other data, a chart tracking 1 Source: https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/hhsa/programs/phs/community_epidemiology/dc/2019- nCoV/status/COVID19_Cases_Hospitalizations_Deaths_by_Demographics.html February 23, 2023
AB361 Findings

Average Daily Case Rate per 100,000 and Testing Positivity Percentage for the period 12/1/2022 – 2/16/2023, 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 have returned to early December 2022 levels.

Based on the data on current case rate should the State of Emergency be extended, staff recommends the Board and Community Advisory Committee 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 6: Consideration of Adoption of a Resolution Changing the Clean Energy Alliance In Person Meeting Location through June 30, 2023, for Board meetings and December 31, 2023 for Community Advisory Committee Meetings

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-002 Setting the Time and Place for Clean Energy Alliance Board Meetings through June 30, 2023, and Community Advisory Committee Meetings through December 31, 2023.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
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.

February 23, 2023
Physical meeting Location

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 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.

At the January 26, 2023, regular Board meeting, the Board considered the findings of the evaluation of broadcasting capabilities, and selected Oceanside as the new location for CEA’s Board and Community Advisory Committee meetings beginning in March 2023.

At the January 26 meeting, the Board requested staff research whether Oceanside’s system was capable of holding meetings in a hybrid format, allowing staff, presenters and elected officials to participate via Zoom video conferencing systems. Through discussions with Oceanside technical staff, it was determined that this alternative is possible with their equipment.

Pursuant to Board direction, staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2023-002 updating the in person location for CEA’s Board and Community Advisory Committee meetings from San Marcos to Oceanside City Council Chambers.

FISCAL IMPACT
With the transition to in person meetings and the need to have technical staff support at Oceanside City Hall the monthly retainer for Tripepi Smith will increase $637.50, from the current $12,012.33 to $12,649.83. Sufficient funds are available in the adopted 22/23 budget to cover the additional cost.

Regulatory Update
February 23, 2022
Tosdal APC
Overview
Demand Flexibility: Update (R. 22-07-005)
Energy Efficiency: Decision 23-02-002 (R. 13-11-005)
Net Billing (formerly Net Metering): Implementation (R. 20-08-020) Demand Flexibility: Overview
On November 2, 2022, the Assigned Commissioner issued the Phase 1 Scoping Memo and Ruling.
• Track A will establish an income-graduated fixed charge for residential rates for all investor-owned electric utilities (“IOUs”) in accordance with Assembly Bill (“AB”) 205 including small and multi-jurisdictional electric utilities. • Track B will streamline and expedite the adoption of demand flexibility rates for large IOUs. Supporting the implementation of the CEC’s amendments to the Load Management Standards (“LMS”) will include directions for large IOUs to file applications by January 2025 to offer demand flexibility rates to each customer class that are consistent with the adopted principles and guidance. Track B will also consider expansion of existing dynamic rate pilots as a near-term solution for supporting system reliability.

Demand Flexibility: Scoping Memo
The Scoping Memo includes the following questions under Track B, Item 4:
4) How should the Commission ensure access to dynamic electricity prices by bundled and unbundled customers, devices, distributed energy resources, and third-party service providers? What systems and processes should the Commission authorize for access to prices and responding to price signals?
a) What systems and processes should the Commission authorize for computation of dynamic prices for bundled and unbundled customers?
e) What are the costs associated with these systems and processes (for access to prices and responding to price signals), and how should these costs be recovered?
Demand Flexibility: Scoping Memo
Regarding data access:
• Customer usage data/data access is not mentioned in the Scoping Memo, but certain parties argue that it should be included.
• In opening comments on the OIR, UCAN urged the Commission to make data access a top priority in this proceeding:
“As noted by UCAN in the ED White Paper, 'Access to data is key to developing advanced rate designs, and therefore, data access should be scoped into the Rulemaking.’ At a recent Data Portals Improvement workshop in the Grid Modernization/High DER Future proceeding, much of the afternoon discussion turned to the need to fix inaccurate and untimely utility data... UCAN urges the Commission to make this issue a top priority in this proceeding.” Demand Flexibility: Scoping Memo
Regarding data access:
• In comments on the Scoping Memo, CalCCA recommends that the CPUC expand the description of Demand Flexibility Principle #3 regarding “systems and processes” necessary for community choice aggregators (CCAs) to participate in dynamic pricing and demand flexibility to include:
1) CCA access to data from the IOUs for the timely receipt of billing quality interval data to view CCA load, and
2) upgrades to IOU systems to incorporate billing and settlement of the dynamic rates for CCA customers.

Demand Flexibility: Scoping Memo
Regarding data access:
• SDG&E responded in comments, “If now is the time to address data access, and SDG&E does not object to its inclusion in scope here, the issue should be addressed in a subsequent phase of this OIR to give it the attention it requires.” • However, SDG&E argued that this issue is so important that discussions should be “comprehensive, forward-looking, evidence-based, engage a broad group of stakeholders beyond demand response providers, and ultimately result in a data-sharing roadmap that will protect ratepayers.” • Finally, in SDG&E’s Real Time Pricing Application rebuttal testimony, SDG&E stated:
“SDCP seeks Commission direction for [meter data access] to be addressed in SDG&E’s GRC Phase 2; however, this issue is already within the scope of the Demand Flexibility OIR and should be addressed there and there alone to avoid the potential for inconsistent decisions.”
Demand Flexibility: Fixed Charges
AB 205 amended Section 739.9 of the Public Utilities Code to read:
• (a) “Fixed charge” means any fixed customer charge, basic service fee, demand differentiated basic service fee, demand charge, or other charge not based on the volume of electricity consumed. • (d) The commission may adopt new, or expand existing, fixed charges for the purpose of collecting a reasonable portion of the fixed costs of providing electrical service to residential customers. The approved charges shall do all of the following:
(1) Reasonably reflect an appropriate portion of different costs of serving small & large customers. (2) Not unreasonably impair incentives for conservation, energy efficiency, beneficial electrification, and GHG emissions reduction.
(3) Are set at levels that do not overburden low-income customers. • (e)(1) The commission may authorize fixed charges for any rate schedule applicable to a residential customer account. The fixed charge shall be established on an income-graduated basis with no fewer than three income thresholds so that a low-income ratepayer in each baseline territory would realize a lower average monthly bill without making any changes in usage. The commission shall, no later than July 1, 2024, authorize a fixed charge for default residential rates.

Demand Flexibility: Interpretation of AB 205
Opening Briefs on Statutory Interpretation of AB 205:
• Parties agree that the income-based fixed charge established pursuant to AB 205 must exclude volumetric generation charges based on the plain language of the statute. • Parties agree that the statutory language of “no fewer than three income thresholds” should be interpreted to mean a minimum of three fixed charge levels. • Certain parties disagree about the inclusion of NBCs in the fixed charge. For example, SEIA states that The Competition Transition Charge (CTC) and Wildfire Fund cannot be recovered through a fixed cost because of statutory restrictions.
• However, Sierra Club/CEJA argue that there are no immediately apparent statutory restrictions preventing the Commission from including NBCs in an income-based fixed charge. • Turn/NRDC agree that NBCs, including the Wildfire Fund, should be found to be eligible for collection from customers through a fixed charge.
• CalCCA argues that the income-based fixed charge should exclude generation related nonbypassable charges including the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), the Cost Allocation Mechanism (CAM), and the Modified CAM,

D.23-02-002 details third-party solicitation processes and requirements, further developments related to the structure and governance of Commission's database tools, and data sharing requirements for RENs and third-party implementers.

Solicitation Process
The Commission instituted various rules around the contracting and solicitation process between the IOUs and third-party implementers.
• Use of a procurement model such as the Market Access Program ("MAP") approach is not inherently in conflict with the requirements of D.18-01-004 and could be competitively solicited for, as other third-party energy efficiency programs are. • As suggested by Recurve, the Commission extends the final installation deadline for the summer reliability MAP authorized in D.21-12-011 from August 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024.

Energy Efficiency: Decision 23-02-002
Commission Database Tools
The Commission issued orders for development of formal governance documents to oversee Commission database tools like CEDAR and CET.

Data Sharing Requirements
The Commission issues rules providing RENs and third-parties with access to disaggregated data. • PG&E’s proposed compliance requirements/guidelines on the specific data required to be shared, as modified in BayREN and 3CREN’s reply comments are adopted. • Participant data should be provided at least monthly; non-participant data may be provided less frequently, but at least quarterly. • To the extent an entity requests data at a greater frequency than provided by this decision, or beyond the scope of program functions or associated data types identified in this decision, and the IOU agrees to provide that additional data and/or greater frequency, the entity requesting the data will bear responsibility for costs.

Net Billing (formerly NEM):

Implementation
Investor-Owned Utilities including SDG&E filed implementation Advice Letters on January 20, 2023:
• Relevant period is uncertain for customers enrolling after the NEM 2.0 sunset period April 15, 2023, but before the NBT takes effect.
• Rules for customer system upgrades and effect are unclear. • Interval data descriptions are at odds with current practice.

ITEM 8: Consider Approval of Fiscal Year 2022/2023 Midyear Budget Adjustment

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Midyear Budget Adjustment increasing revenues $16,084,120 and expenditures $14,165,750.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Clean Energy Alliance’s (CEA) adopted Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget was developed based on the best information available in April 2022. In order to ensure the budget reflects updated market conditions, staff reviewed expenses to date, current contracts and revenue projections and prepared the proposed midyear budget adjustment based on the updated assumptions.

Revenue
Revenue projections have been updated to reflect actual usage of CEA’s current customer base, projections through June 30, including the expansion into Escondido and San Marcos, and rates adopted effective 2/1/2023. Based on the analysis, staff recommends the following adjustment to energy sales revenue:

Updated Energy Sales Revenue Estimate $96,875,525
Adopted Energy Sales Revenue Estimate $80,791,405
Midyear Adjustment $16,084,120
Based on updated assumptions, energy sales revenue is anticipated to come in $16,084,120 higher than original projections.

Expenditures
CEA’s single largest expenditure is related to the procurement of energy. CEA has experienced higher than anticipated costs due to the impacts of the September heat wave and the high gas prices driving up the price of energy. In addition to adjusting power supply budget, staff recommends updates to several operational line items to reflect updated projections.

February 23, 2023
Midyear Budget Adjustment

The proposed expenditure adjustments are detailed below.

Power Supply $13,635,980 Adjust to reflect costs through January and projections through
year end
Staffing ($146,460) Reduced to reflect updated
projections of new staff
Professional Services $20,500 Increase SDG&E fees for
expansion
Postage $30,000 Increase for expansion noticing
Various Line Items $10,280 Adjust various line items
Debt Service $615,450 Increase due to interest rate
increases

TOTAL EXPENDITURES
ADJUSTMENT $14,165,750

FISCAL IMPACT
The net change to results of operations ($16,084,120 - $14,165,750), in the amount of $1,918,370 will increase the financial stability reserve.
