ITEM 2: Consideration of Resolution No. 2025-040 Attesting to the Veracity of the 2024 Power Source Disclosure Reports Addressing the Clean Impact, Clean Impact Plus and Green Impact Power Retail Electric Service Offerings
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) Board of Directors (Board) consider adoption of Resolution No. 2025- 040 attesting to the veracity of the 2024 Power Source Disclosure Reports and Addressing the Clean Impact, Clean Impact Plus and Green Impact Retail Electric Service Offerings.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
As a public agency providing electric services in the state of California, CEA must comply with California’s Power Source Disclosure Program, as administered by the California Energy Commission (CEC), pursuant to California Code of Regulations Sections 1391 to 1394 (Regulations), which set forth the requirements for annual power source reporting and Power Content Label preparation.
The 2024 Annual Power Source Disclosure (PSD) Reports (Attachment B) are backward-looking and report the sources of power procured by CEA on behalf of its customers during calendar year 2024. Separate reports are prepared for each of CEA’s three retail electric service offerings: Clean Impact, Clean Impact Plus and Green Impact.
The Regulations also require that CEA prepare an annual Power Content Label (PCL), which will be posted on CEA’s website by October 1, 2025 and mailed to customers by December 31, 2025. The PCL is similar to a typical nutritional label, providing customers with information related to the power sources that were procured by CEA to meet their energy requirements, as well as the greenhouse gas emissions intensity associated with each retail service offering. Each of CEA’s three retail service offerings are addressed in the PCL as well as California’s overall power mix, which is presented for the sake of comparison.
Section 1394.2, Subdivision (a)(1) of the Regulations addresses an independent audit requirement which is only applicable to Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs) and Energy Service Providers (ESPs), but not public agencies, which include Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs such as CEA.
An exception to the audit requirement is specified in Section 1394.2, Subdivision (a)(2) which states:
September 25, 2025
PSD Attestation
A retail supplier that is a public agency providing electric services is not required to comply with the provisions of subdivision (a)(1) if the board of directors of the public agency submits to the Energy Commission an attestation of the veracity of each annual resource report for the previous year.
The 2024 PSD reports have been prepared in compliance with the applicable regulations and accurately reflect electric supply procured by CEA during 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The costs related to mailing the 2024 PCL have been included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget.

PeakSmart Savers Update
Following its launch in June 2025, CEA declared its first PeakSmart Day on August 7, 2025. On PeakSmart Days, participants pay a $1.10 adder per kWh during on-peak hours (4 p.m. to 9 p.m.). This adder incentivizes participants to reduce energy use during periods of high demand. All participants received multiple notifications about the PeakSmart Day. On non-PeakSmart Days, participants benefit from discounted on-peak and off-peak rates (up to a 30% discount). • As of September 9, 2025, the PeakSmart Savers program has 18 active participants.
CEA will continue to evaluate program performance and participant feedback to inform the program.
C&I Behind the Meter (BTM) RFP Update
Staff conducted interviews with four prospective developers and completed a comprehensive review of proposals. Based on this evaluation, staff has begun negotiations with one of the firms to advance to the contracting stage. We anticipate bringing a final agreement for Board consideration at the October meeting.
Risk Oversight Committee (ROC)
On September 11, 2025, the Risk Oversight Committee (ROC) held its quarterly meeting during which the ROC was provided and discussed an energy market update and CEA’s current portfolio planning and positions management. Also during this meeting, staff provided an update on the proposed modification of CEA’s rate design to set Clean Impact Plus, CEA’s default energy product, as the base rate from which a premium for opting up to Green Impact or a credit for opting down to Clean Impact would be established.
Having worked through the necessary billing adjustments and other requirements necessary to implement this rate design change with Calpine, staff recommended to the ROC that we suspend and/or delay the implementation of this rate design change at this time. This decision is based primarily on a desire to avoid customer confusion and to maintain bill presentment transparency. To implement this rate design change, it was determined that the required on-bill adjustments, credits and/or premiums September 25, 2025
CEO Admin. Report
that would have to be added to customers’ bills could likely create unnecessary customer confusion and concern. This concern is heightened by the fact that SDG&E will be implementing its new Base Services Charge in October and will also be implementing its physical bill changes later this year. Given these impending changes, staff felt the delay of CEA’s rate design changes was prudent. The ROC supported this recommendation. Staff will continue to work on options for a more seamless and transparent rate design implementation strategy in the coming months.

Subject: Monthly Regulatory Memo
Date: September 15, 2025
Keyes & Fox LLP and EQ Research LLC are pleased to provide CEA’s Board of Directors with this informational memo describing recent developments in key California regulatory and compliance-related updates from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Additional information is available in CEA’s Digest of Regulatory Updates.
NEWClimate Credit OIR (R.25-07-013)
• On July 28, the CPUC issued an Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) establishing a new proceeding to consider ways to improve the effectiveness of the California Climate Credit for supporting customer affordability and implementation of industry assistance to minimize leakage of emissions. Comments on the OIR are due September 26 and reply comments are due October 13. • The Climate Credit partially distributes funds from the proceeds of carbon allowance sales under the state’s cap-and-trade program as twice annual lump-sum bill credits to all electric customers and certain qualifying small businesses. Since 2014, customers of California electric and gas investor-owned utilities have received over $17.8 billion dollars of bill assistance through the cap-and-trade program. In 2025, the electric residential Climate Credit will total $1.41 billion (a weighted average of $120 per customer and a range of $70-$519 per customer), with another $122 million for small businesses and $104 million for certain industrial customers.
The funds will be available through 2030 in varying amounts based on auction proceeds, and they may be available longer if the cap-and-trade program is extended by the legislature.
NEWDistribution-Level Interconnection (R.25-08-004)
• On August 20, the CPUC issued an Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) establishing this proceeding to provide continued oversight and refinement of distributed energy interconnection policies. Interconnection is the means by which new generating resources connect electrically to the distribution system. The OIR suggested a variety of topic areas for parties to consider in their comments, including testing, process and procedures for requesting and reviewing interconnection, and several aspects of cost and fee structures.
Opening comments are due October 20 and reply comments by November 10.
IRP Rulemaking (R.25-06-019)
• This is a newer proceeding for which a prehearing conference is scheduled September 29; a scoping memo will follow. On September 12, LSEs submitted their load forecasts for their upcoming IRPs. Draft versions of the updated Resource Data Template and user guide were posted on September 12. • In the previous IRP proceeding (R.20-05-003), a Revised Proposed Decision was issued September 16 and is scheduled to be heard at the September 18 Commission meeting. The Proposed Decision grants and expands upon SCE’s Petition for Modification (PFM) seeking a waiver of the requirements for bridge contracts for resources required by D.21-06-035 and D.23-02-040. The Proposed Decision goes beyond SCE's requested relief and eliminates the option for LSEs to use bridge contracts to meet the long-lead time procurement requirements and those for Diablo Canyon replacement resources. • With substantial revisions, the Proposed Decision now allows fulfillment of month-ahead resource adequacy requirements as a compliance mechanism, clarifies that long-term (i.e., 10 years or longer) generic capacity may also be used to demonstrate compliance, and that a staff proposal providing clarification on compliance Attachment A
2 and enforcement, including the “good faith-effort standard”, will be provided for party comment. Finally, the revisions also clarify that bridge contracts used for compliance deadlines prior to this decision being approved will remain valid, but future compliance deadlines will be subject to this decision.
Self-Generation Incentive Program (R.20-05-012)
• On August 29, the CPUC issued a Proposed Decision establishing the conditions for returning ratepayer funds, closing out all activities related to the ratepayer-funded portion of the SGIP, and implementing the GHG Reduction Fund portion of SGIP and conditions for its closure in 2028. This matter may be heard as soon as the October 9 Commission meeting. Comments are due September 18 and reply comments are due September 23.
• The procedures and deadlines for closing the ratepayer-funded portion of SGIP include clarification that funding for a project is considered “allocated” upon submission of its Request for Reservation Form, establishing a December 30, 2025 deadline for new applications and the closure of waitlists, and requiring submission of a budget advice letter that includes provisions to ensure administrative funding remains available to program administrators until projects are completed.
SDG&E 2026 ERRA Forecast (A.25-05-012)
• On July 21, the Assigned Commissioner issued a Scoping Memo and Ruling. CEA submitted direct testimony on August 19, and SDG&E submitted rebuttal testimony on September 9. An evidentiary hearing, if needed, will be held September 26, followed by opening briefs and reply briefs in early October. SDG&E’s Fall update is set for October 14, and a proposed decision is expected November 14, followed by a final decision in early December.
SDG&E Phase 2 GRC (A.23-01-008)
• On August 13, the CPUC issued a Proposed Decision that is scheduled to be heard at the September 18 Commission meeting. The Proposed Decision approves all three settlement agreements filed in this case – Marginal Cost Settlement Agreement, Partial Settlement Agreement, and Medical Baseline Settlement Agreement. This decision also adopts the system percentage of change methodology to update rates and approves SDG&E’s other uncontested proposals.
• Additionally, the Proposed Decision requires SDG&E to show the PCIA rate on bundled customer bills to help bundled customers understand that the PCIA is not a fixed charge. The Proposed Decision also emphasizes that volumetric charges should be displayed in a fair manner on both bundled and unbundled customer bills.
The Proposed Decision may be heard as early as September 18, 2025.
Energy Efficiency (A.25-04-014 / R.25-04-010)
• On July 23, the Assigned Commissioner issued a Scoping Memo and Ruling dividing issues in this proceeding into policy and implementation categories, which included CCA oversight in the policy scope.
Consideration of the CCA oversight issues is scheduled to begin in Q4 2025 with an ALJ ruling and conclude in mid-2026.
• On September 5, the CPUC issued D.25-08-034 adopting energy efficiency goals for 2026-2037. This decision adopts total system benefit and energy savings goals for ratepayer-funded energy efficiency portfolios for 2026-2037 using the “High Total Resource Cost” scenario of the final potential study. • On August 8, the Assigned Commissioner issued a Scoping Ruling and Memo in SDG&E’s application to revise its 2024-2031 energy efficiency portfolio business plan that divides the proceeding into a Phase 1 that will focus on legal issues and a Phase 2 to address factual and policy issues. A Phase 1 proposed decision is expected in November.

Clean Energy Alliance Board of Directors
Gregory Wade, Chief Executive Officer
Consider Adoption of Resolution No. 2025-041 Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Voluntary Allocation Market Offer Renewable Energy Confirm Agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric
RECOMMENDATION:
The Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) Board of Directors (Board) adopt Resolution No. 2025-041, approving Amendment No. 1 to the Voluntary Allocation Market Offer (VAMO) Renewable Energy Confirm Agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and authorize the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to sign all documents, subject to Transaction Counsel approval.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In December 2021, CEA executed a renewable energy purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with SDG&E as a part of a State-mandated VAMO process for incumbent investor-owned utilities to offer a share of the output of their existing portfolio of renewable energy projects to unbundled customers moving over to Community Choice Aggregators. The current Agreement provides CEA renewable energy from SDG&E’s portfolio of contracts at a market price which is determined through a State-run process, and it provides a significant portion of CEA’s total renewable energy needs each year. The Agreement is currently scheduled to end in June 2032, however, many of the underlying projects (primarily wind and solar) have contracts that extend past that date with some extending out to the early 2040s.
Earlier this summer, SDG&E approached CEA and proposed to extend the Agreement through the end date of each underlying contract, as an Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement. SDG&E indicated that this is consistent with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decision D.21-05-030, which was issued after CEA and SDG&E entered into the original VAMO Agreement, and which set additional guidelines and requirements for the VAMO process and contracts. Amendment No. 1 is necessary to bring CEA’s VAMO Agreement into compliance with D.21-05-030. Per CEA’s Energy Risk Management Policy, any energy contract with a tenure greater than five years – or an amendment to such contract – requires full Board approval, and therefore Staff have brought this item to the Board for approval.
September 25, 2025
VAMO Amendment
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact from this action prior to the start of the extended contract period in July 2032.
Starting in mid-2032, CEA’s long-term contractual obligations will be increasing annually through the end of each underlying contract, with some contracts ending in the early 2040s. Since the process for setting the VAMO price fluctuates annually to align with market pricing of the renewable energy product sold, this contract can be considered net neutral to the equivalent renewable energy CEA would otherwise need to purchase.

ITEM 6:
September 25, 2025
Clean Energy Alliance Board of Directors
Gregory Wade, Chief Executive Officer
Consideration of Resolutions No. 2025-042 and 2025-043 Amending CEA’s Privacy and Customer Confidentiality Policy (Administrative Policy CEA-03) and Delegating Authority to the CEO to Adopt and Modify Administrative Policies, Respectively RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board consider and adopt:
1. Resolution No. 2025-042 Amending CEA’s Privacy and Customer Confidentiality Policy (Administrative Policy CEA-03); and
2. Resolution No. 2025-043 Delegating Authority to the Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to Adopt and Modify Administrative Policies.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On August 31, 2012, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued Decision 12-08-045 (D.12- 08-045) Extending Privacy Protections to Customers of Gas Corporations and Community Choice Aggregators, and to Residential and Small Commercial Customers of Electric Services Providers. Included in this Decision were certain protections of customer information and data as well as specific Data Retention rules.
On February 20, 2020, CEA established Administrative Policy CEA-03, its Privacy and Customer Confidentiality Policy, to provide for the protection of customers’ personal and billing information and data and the extent to which and with whom such information may be disclosed. In order to align Administrative Policy CEA-03 with D.12-08-045 and with CEA’s Records Retention Schedule (CEA-11), it is recommended that Administrative Policy CEA-03 be amended to state that customer data shall be retained for “as long as is reasonably necessary or as authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission to accomplish a specific primary purpose identified in the notice required under this policy or for a specific secondary purpose authorized by the customer” and for a period for “not more than five (5) years and not less than two (2) years.” Resolution No. 2025-043 adopts this proposed amendment along with other minor amendments related to SMS notifications and updating CEA’s email and address for purposes of Policy CEA-03. Additionally, Resolution No. 2025-043 authorizes and delegates authority to September 25, 2025
Admin Policy CEA-03/Delegating of Authority
the CEO to make further modifications to Policy CEA-03 with any such modifications being reported to the CEA Board at its next regular meeting thereafter.
Section 5.5 of the CEA Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Agreement (Agreement) provides that the Board shall appoint a CEO for the Authority, who shall be responsible for the day-to-day operations and management of the Authority and the CCA program. The CEO may exercise all powers of the Authority, except those powers specifically reserved to the Board, including but not limited to those set forth in Section 4.6 (Specific Responsibility of the Board) of the Agreement of the Authority’s bylaws, or those powers which by law must be exercised by the Board. Section 4.6.12 of the Agreement states that the Board shall exercise the Specific Powers identified in Section 3.2 and 4.6 except as those which the Board may elect to delegate to the CEO, including adoption of rules, regulations, policies, bylaws and procedures governing the Authority.
At present, the Board has not specifically delegated authority to the CEO to adopt administrative policies or make modifications to such policies. However, since the JPA Agreement specifically identifies the CEO as responsible for operations, management and administration of CEA and also provides that the Board may elect to delegate to the CEO the authority to establish administrative policies, it seems prudent and reasonable to authorize the CEO to establish and modify administrative policies to properly carry out necessary operational and management duties and responsibilities without having to receive prior Board approval to do so. As such, it is recommended that the Board consider adoption of Resolution No. 2025- 044 that would delegate to the CEO the authority to adopt and modify CEA’s Administrative Policies that relate to operational issues. It is also recommended that any such authority should require the CEO to report to the Board at the next regular Board Meeting the establishment and/or modification of any administrative policy.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact with this action.

FROM: Gregory Wade, Chief Executive Officer
ITEM 7: Long-Term Power Procurement Strategy
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) Board of Directors (Board) receive the presentation on CEA’s Long-Term Power Procurement Strategy and provide feedback.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
As CEA considers renewable energy options for its power supply portfolio, a variety of considerations must be balanced in determining the types of projects and contracts to execute. These decisions will have short-and long-term implications for CEA’s budget and rate requirements, as well as for CEA’s contributions to achieving organization and statewide renewable energy goals. With state and federal renewable energy policy at a critical juncture, staff believes it is an important moment to share outcomes of CEA’s procurement efforts to date and to gather Board feedback which can inform staff priorities and time dedication over the coming months and years.
When considering renewable energy resource types and projects, CEA balances a variety of its regulatory obligations and commitments to customers, which include (in no particular order):
• Offering reliable and affordable product options
• Managing power supply cost variability and hedge power cost risks • Meeting commitments to CEA customers and the glide path to 100% renewable by 2035 (note:
CEA’s Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Agreement is silent on how much of this renewable energy should come from newly built projects that CEA facilitates or from existing projects) • Meeting Resource Adequacy (RA) compliance obligations including:
o Local RA requirements from facilities in the San Diego / Imperial Valley Local Area o System RA requirements from facilities across the state’s electricity grid • Meeting and providing State Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) requirements / Greenhouse Gas Free product offerings
September 25, 2025
Long-Term Power Procurement Strategy
Related to the above commitments, CEA also considers a variety of other factors when analyzing project offers received. These include differences in contract price, resource type availability, each project’s development timeline and development risks, and State and Federal policy headwinds and tailwinds, among other factors. A combination of qualitative and quantitative factors are used to determine shortlisted projects, and these factors can be weighed differently based on CEA’s long-term procurement strategy and the Board’s guidance to inform this strategy.
For discussion with the Board, CEA staff will provide an update on recent procurement efforts and an initial discussion of key considerations for how CEA could approach identifying, facilitating, and entering into contracts for preferred resource types. This initial discussion is intended to be informational and for staff to gather initial feedback; CEA staff anticipates any formal Board direction or recommendation to follow at a future Board meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact from this action. If CEA chooses to adopt any formal long-term procurement strategy, potential fiscal impacts will be estimated and reviewed as a part of a future Board meeting.
Renewable energy contracts negotiated as a result of this strategy would be reviewed and approved directly by the Board, in compliance with CEA’s energy contract approval process.
