% Respondents
23 Customers are cost sensitive & this is their primary motivation o Cost-related items rise to the top of the list when asked about local issues, their home/business energy improvements, program interest, and support for future energy initiatives/actions.
o Customers are primarily motivated to make changes that can improve their energy efficiency and reduce their bills. Programs/actions that have a direct link to cost reduction for the customer generate strong interest/support.
Customers are generally pro-environment and pro-clean energy, but these are often 2nd tier concerns/motivations.
o Broad issues of protecting the environment, climate change, reducing green house gas emissions, and air pollution are important, 2 nd tier concerns o Programs that focus on broad environmental benefits, community benefits, the energy sector generally, or underserved populations typically receive softer priority ratings.
INITIAL TAKEAWAYS
24 Most customers have made modest energy improvements
o Energy efficient lighting and weatherization improvements are common among a majority of customers
o A sizeable minority (4-in-10) have invested in solar panels and smart home/building management systems.
o Electrification is not common (approximately 1-in-5 customers) A majority of customers expressed interest in incentive programs o Rebates for energy efficient lighting, appliances and equipment o Rebates for weatherization improvements
o Discounted rates for off-peak energy use
o Free energy audits and technical assistance

2) Upcoming Application on Split Billing
○ Cal Pub. Util. Code § 366.2(c)(9) requires the IOUS “to provide all metering, billing, collection, and customer service” to CCA customers. ○ SDG&E’s tariffed Rule 27 (approved in 2006 after R.03-10-003) requires that SDG&E use the “Utility Consolidated Billing process.” ○ D.23-11-068, Ordering Paragraph 16: to work with CCAs, to begin to develop recommendations for long-term improvements to bundled and unbundled net energy metering and net billing tariff customer bill presentment.
IOULetters in re: D.23-11-068
SDG&E PG&E
• Calls for Bill Separation: One bill for
SDG&E services and one bill for CCA
services.”
• Says it will resolve NEM/NBT issues,
but will impact 1.2 million unbundled
customers
• Current law limits a CCA’s ability to
perform this function for themselves,
therefore SDG&E would continue to
provide billing as a service to the
CCAs.”
• PG&E believes enhancements should
not be limited to solar customers.
• Working to improve the digital
experience by developing tools that
clarify charges.
• Discusses changes to separate CCA
charges from PG&E charges on
separate pages with color-coded
distinctions
Concerns WithSeparation of Bills
• Customer confusion.
• Material costs to ratepayers/affordability.
• Increase in customer arrearages and risk of disconnections. • Equity concerns

54 • JPA Agreement states that the Board “shall endeavor to achieve a balanced distribution of program and project benefits substantially commensurate with each Member Agency’s energy load”
• In compliance with the JPA Agreement, staff has evaluated the proportional share of the currently budgeted $600,000 program funds based on load and determined the following allocations:
MEMBER AGENCY 12-MONTHS USAGE
(MWh) Percentage (%) of Load Allocation of Funds
City of Carlsbad 624,440 27% $164,000
City of Del Mar 26,474 1% $7,000
City of Escondido 477,502 21% $125,000

City of Vista 296,363 13% $78,000
Total Territory 2,290,515 100% $600,000
Draft Work Plan Programs Budget
55 • Current Program funds remain limited at $600,000
• Five-Year Budget Outlook estimated Programs funding as follows:
• FY 2026 – $2 million
• FY 2027 – $4 million
• FY 2028 – $6 million
• FY 2029 – $8 million
• Even with $2 million, allocating these funds now to Programs may spread funds too thin for most if not all cities
• Energy Programs Plan (and survey information) will provide additional insight for Board to better allocate these funds
• Seeking Board input on whether to wait until we complete the Energy Programs Plan and build stronger net position and reserves before allocating Programs funds Recommendation
56 That the Board:
• Provide additional feedback and adopt Resolution No. 2025- 018 approving the FY 2025/26 – 2026/27 Clean Energy
Alliance Strategic Plan
• Provide feedback and input on the FY 2025/26 – 2026/27 Draft Clean Energy Alliance Work Plan
• Provide feedback on Programs Budget
Board Feedback/Input
57 Questions/Discussion
58 Item 8: Rate Design & Premium Discussion
59 • Electric Energy: procured through term energy contracts (which mitigate price risk) or market purchases (which may reduce near-term costs but also expose CCAs to market volatility).
• Renewable Energy: procured to meet RPS mandates, support voluntary targets and supply specific retail product offerings.
• Other Specified Energy Products: GHG-free energy (typically hydro) and non-RPS-eligible renewable energy; generally procured to meet internally defined policy objectives.
• Resource Adequacy Capacity: procured to meet reserve capacity requirements.
60 Energy Products for CCAs
• Various contracting mechanisms/products are permissible under RPS rules, subject to specified minimums/maximums:
• Bucket 1 – Located in-state or dynamically scheduled into CA (RECs delivered contemporaneously with electric energy); 75% minimum RPS requirement
• Bucket 2 – Firmed/shaped imports into CA (REC and substitute energy quantities are balanced annually); zero-25% permitted under RPS rules
• Bucket 3 – Unbundled RECs (RECs are sold separately from energy); up to 10% under RPS rules
• 65% minimum long-term RPS contracting requirement (delivery term must be at least 10 years)
61 Renewable Energy Products
62 • Compliance product intended to promote grid reliability. • Obligation is based on forecasted peak demand plus planning reserve. • RA products are purchased from generators located within CA and elsewhere in WECC, subject to interconnection and import requirements. • Compliance is measured through two distinct cycles: year-ahead (recurring October 31st deadline); and month-ahead (recurring mid-month deadlines throughout year).
• Slice-of-Day framework implemented in 2025: compliance measured across 24-yours for peak day of each month.
• Decentralized market: brokered and bilateral transactions are commonly used to secure RA.
• RA is sold in full and fractional MWs and is priced on a $/kW-month basis.
Resource Adequacy
63 • RA compliance is segregated into two phases: year-ahead (YA) and month-ahead (MA)
• 90% of total RA procurement obligation for summer months (May-September) must be demonstrated in the YA process • 90% of annual flexible capacity obligation must also be demonstrated in the YA process
• 3-year local compliance obligation may also apply in YA process (applies to LSEs in SDG&E’s service territory; 100% in year 1, 100% in year 2, 50% in year 3)
• 100% of total RA procurement obligation must be demonstrated in the MA process
• RA procurement obligations vary by month (consistent with forecasted load variations)
Resource Adequacy Compliance
Slice-of-Day Example
• Sufficient capacity must cover RA
requirements across all hours of
peak day.
• Pre-2025 RA framework focused
on single peak hour for each
month

• CAISO forward energy prices
continue a declining trend related
to stable natural gas prices and
improving outlook on the ability of
the growing supply stack to meet

34% lower on average compared

Example – Translating Costs to Rates:
• Green Impact customers are purchasing 100%
renewable energy, 50% more than Clean Impact
• (50% more renewable energy) x ($20/MWh
renewable energy cost premium) = $10/MWh
• $10/MWh = 1 cent / kWh
• Slightly higher than current 0.75 cent / kWh adder for Green Impact
• Clean Impact Plus – base CEA rate schedule (current rates including
0.1 cents per kWh adder).
• Clean Impact – base CEA rate schedule minus 0.34 cents per KWh. • Green Impact – base CEA rate schedule plus 0.65 cents per kWh.
