REGULAR AGENDA

4. Approve a 15-Year Renewable Power Purchase Agreement with SunZia Wind PowerCo LLC and Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute the Agreement For Either 500 MW (Option 1) or 575 MW (Option 2)
Lindsay Saxby, Vice President, Power Supply, provided a presentation on the SunZia Wind long-term renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

Pattern Energy, the developer of the 3,515-megawatt SunZia Wind complex in central New Mexico, is constructing a new transmission line to deliver energy to California. Ms. Saxby reviewed the SunZia Wind project details, supporters, valuation, rationale, and options. While SunZia is a large project, Pattern Energy’s portfolio share is comparable to other leading suppliers in CPA’s portfolio. Staff prefers accepting SunZia’s offer for a total of 575 megawatts.

Director Perello asked questions about potential litigation relating to permitting and the impact of renewable energy compliance penalties on member agencies. Mr.

Bardacke noted that the SunZia Wind transmission line is fully permitted, so there is little litigation risk at this point. Ms. Saxby indicated that CPA has exceeded its 2030 Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) compliance and will not incur any penalties, nor would member agencies be liable for compliance penalties should they be assessed. In response to Director Crosswhite’s question about excess energy procurement, Ms. Saxby explained that CPA can resell excess energy to other entities. Director Stegura asked about guardrails if Pattern fails to adhere to its requirements under the contract. Ms. Saxby clarified that there are termination and damage provisions in the contract; Pattern is also required to post security to protect CPA through project development and commercial operation. Director Erickson inquired about the impact of potential federal administration changes on the project, and Ms. Saxby indicated that the federal permitting process has already been completed. In response to Director Primuth’s questions, Ms. Saxby clarified that the entire project will go online at the same time and there is a potential for Pattern to finance and sell part of the project. In response to Director Monteiro’s question, staff noted that the transmission line is jointly owned. Vice Chair Horvath, Chair Gold, and Directors Parkhurst and Rhodes expressed support for Option 2 and thanked staff and the RFO Review Team.

5. Receive a Presentation of CPA’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 Audited Financial Statements, FY 2022-2023 Budget to Actual Report, and Initial 2024 PCIA and SCE Rate Outlook
David McNeil, Chief Financial Officer, and Matt Langer, Chief Operating Officer, presented FY 2022-2023 financial results and the initial 2024 Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) and Southern California Edison (SCE) rates outlook. The Auditor, Baker Tilly, issued a “clean” audit opinion of CPA’s FY 2022- 23 financial results. Mr. McNeil reviewed CPA financial statements and indicators; CPA earned an A- credit rating. Mr. Langer reviewed initial PCIA changes, including projected bill reductions for residential CPA customers of approximately

1.6% beginning in January 2024. Rate comparisons with SCE are expected to worsen, although they are projected to remain better than the FY 2023/24 Board-approved targets. Director Santangelo noted that the Finance Committee met with the auditor and thanked staff for achieving another year of “clean” results.

In response to Director Perello’s questions about SCE service fees, Mr. McNeil explained that the charge reflects SCE’s prolonged lapse in invoicing related to billing and collections; CPA is current with all SCE service fees. Director Parkhurst asked questions on forward market price increases and year ahead market prices for renewable energy, including wind. Mr. Langer explained that the average price for energy decreased by 25% over the last year due to the decrease in natural gas prices. Wind power is scarce in the year-ahead market and short-term renewable energy prices are increasing significantly. In response to Director Monteiro’s question about investing reserve funds, Mr. McNeil indicated that CPA holds interest-earning accounts at the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and River City Bank. Staff are exploring other investments to increase interest revenues.

Chair Gold emphasized the impact of recent Board decisions, including the implementation of a cost of service approach and prudent rate increases, which have positively contributed to CPA’s credit rating. Director Primuth asked about the budget savings on customer programs, and Mr. Langer clarified that the savings were due to normal delays in program timelines; the total allocated funds ensure appropriate budget authority for the programs.

COMMITTEE CHAIR UPDATES
Director Klein Lopez, Chair, Legislative & Regulatory Committee, thanked staff and Board members for their diligent attention to CPA’s legislative activity and efforts. The Committee has reviewed potential changes to the 2024 Legislative and Regulatory Platform and incorporated the following themes: transmission and distribution planning, regionalization, building decarbonization, and fair rates for CPA customers.

Director Robert Parkhurst, Energy Planning & Resources Committee, thanked staff for their efforts in achieving the largest number of responses to an Request for Offer (RFO) CPA has received.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
Mr. Bardacke noted that the Daggett Solar project is now fully functional, and staff expects about 10 more new build contracts to come online in the next year. CPA is fully compliant with all year-ahead RA requirements. Additionally, CPA filled 14 of its 24 open staff Board of Directors Item 2

Staff Report – Agenda Item 3
To: Board of Directors
From: Lindsay Descagnia, Vice President, Power Supply
Approved By: Ted Bardacke, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Approve an Amendment to the Long-Term Renewable Power Purchase Agreement with HDSI, LLC for the High Desert Solar + Storage Project and Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute the Amendment
Date: December 7, 2023

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the amendment to the long-term Renewable Power Purchase Agreement with HDSI, LLC (“HDSI”) for the High Desert Solar + Storage project and authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute the amendment.

BACKGROUND
Per CPA’s Energy Risk Management Policy, any power purchase transactions greater than five years and any material amendments to those agreements, require approval by the Board. CPA and HDSI entered into a 15-year Renewable Power Purchase Agreement (the “PPA”) for a 100 MW solar PV plus 50 MW battery storage facility (the “Facility”) that was approved by the Board on May 7, 2020.

CPA Staff has engaged in negotiations to resolve contractual interpretation issues related to the first-year performance of the battery portion of the Facility (the “Storage Facility”).

Specifically, CPA and HDSI have disagreed on, (i) the interpretation of how to calculate

Agenda Page 13
Board of Directors Item 3
the Storage Facility’s “Availability”1, and (ii) how Operating Deviations2 should be calculated and if the Storage Facility deviated from charging and discharging instructions below the PPA’s minimum guaranteed rate of 94%.

CPA and HDSI have differing contract interpretations on two issues: (i) the Storage Facility’s Operating Deviations and what exceptions can be claimed to those deviations, and (ii) a differing interpretation of how to calculate Availability.

1. Storage Facility Operating Deviations
On the first issue, HDSI disagrees with CPA’s calculation of the Operating Deviation Rate falling below the PPA guaranteed minimum rate of 94%. Operating deviations occur when the Facility deviates from its charging or discharging instructions. If the Storage Facility falls below an Operating Deviation Rate of 94% in a month, HDSI will receive a reduced capacity payment for the Storage Facility. HDSI contends that in some months of the first contract year, certain contractually allowable exceptions like impossible or inaccurate charging instructions, testing outages and transmission outages led to the Operating Deviation Rate falling below 94%. CPA and HDSI have agreed that the types of exceptions allowable under the contract should be clarified.

2. Availability Calculation
“Availability” reflects the readiness of the Storage Facility to charge and discharge energy.

The PPA breaks Availability into two parts: (i) Storage Capacity (in MW) and (ii) Storage Capability (in MWh). Storage Capacity is the dependable operating level of the battery to charge and discharge energy, while Storage Capability is the combined available throughput to charge and discharge energy during an applicable interval. CPA’s view is 1 “Availability” reflects the availability of the Storage Facility to charge and discharge energy. The PPA breaks Availability into two parts: (i) Storage Capacity (in MW) and (ii) Storage Capability (in MWh). Storage Capacity is the dependable operating level of the battery to charge and discharge energy, while Storage Capability is the combined available throughput to charge and discharge during an applicable interval. CPA’s view is that Storage Capacity is the minimum of the relevant availability data values reported to the CAISO through forecast forms, outage forms and in real time.
2 Operating Deviations are deviations from CAISO or CPA charging or discharging instructions.

Agenda Page 14
Board of Directors Item 3
that Storage Capacity is the minimum of the two relevant availability data values reported to the California Independent System Operator (“CAISO”) through forecast forms, outage forms and in real-time data. HDSI argues that the Availability provisions of the PPA are ambiguous and do not support CPA’s interpretation of using the lesser of the two data points for Storage Capacity reported by HDSI to CPA and CAISO for the Availability calculation.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED PPA AMENDMENTS
CPA and HDSI negotiated the following clarifications of these issues. • Amend the definition of “Charging Notice” to clarify that the level of charging instructed by CPA will be limited to the level of the Facility’s solar PV generation; • Amend the definition of “Operating Deviation” to clarify that in the case of a discrepancy between the level of charging or discharging instructed by CPA and the data in HDSI’s availability notices to CPA or its real time feed to CAISO, the lesser amount will be used for calculating the Operating Deviation and to limit what exceptions to an Operating Deviation can be claimed;
• Amend Section (b) of Exhibit P of the PPA to clarify that:
(a) Storage Capacity is the average of the amounts in the two data points (currently “Gen Max” and “Load Max”) in HDSI’s availability notices to CPA and recorded in CAISO’s outage management system with respect to the Storage Facility’s availability;
(b) Storage Capability shall be calculated as the difference between the value for “Max Energy” minus the value for “Min Energy”3
reported in HDSI’s availability
notices to CPA and recorded in CAISO’s outage management system.

In addition to the clarifications to the PPA, staff took this opportunity to update the following items:
3 Or equivalent successor terms to Max Energy or Min Energy

Agenda Page 15
Board of Directors Item 3
• Update the Form of Assignment Agreement in Exhibit T to align it with CPA’s latest PPA proforma to enable the Facility to be included a future CPA prepay transaction;
• Make other minor revisions to the contract terms to clarify other ambiguous provisions.

RATIONALE
To ensure contract certainty with respect to the PPA through the remainder of the delivery term and to mitigate future disputes with HDSI, staff recommends approval of the PPA amendment.

2 “Battery Charging Factor” means the quotient (expressed as a decimal) of (a) the Charging Energy after reaching 100% SOC or the first five (5) hours of the charging phase of the applicable Capacity Test, as applicable, divided by (b) 200 MWh, not to exceed one (1).
“Battery Discharging Factor” means the quotient (expressed as a decimal) of (a) the Discharging Energy after the first four (4) hours of the discharging phase of the applicable Capacity Test, divided by (b) 200 MWh, not to exceed one (1). “Charging Notice” means the operating instruction, and any subsequent updates, given by Buyer to Seller, directing the Storage Facility to charge at a specific MW rate to a specified Stored Energy Level, provided that any such operating instruction shall be in accordance with the Operating Restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any Buyer Dispatched Test shall be considered a Charging Notice, (ii) any Charging Notice shall not constitute a Buyer Bid Curtailment, Buyer Curtailment Order or Curtailment Order, and (iii) if the PV Energy is less than the instructed charging level of a Charging Notice, the Charging Notice shall be deemed, for purposes of this Agreement, to be reduced to equal the PV Energy delivered in such Settlement Interval, except to the extent Energy is not delivered from the Generating Facility for any reason other than the intermittency of the solar insolation.
“Operating Deviation” means, in each five (5) minute interval other than during a Non-Buyer Dispatch, the amount (measured in MW) by which the Facility deviates from the Operating Instructed Amount, except and only to the extent a Charging Notice or Discharging Notice is inconsistent with the Storage Facility’s Available Storage Capacity, Available Storage Capability or State of Charge, each as accurately reported by the Storage Facility’s SCADA or Seller’s Availability Notice (and in the case of discrepancy between such data (except to the extent due to an error by the Scheduling Coordinator), the lesser amount shall control) prior to the determination of the Real-Time Schedule by the CAISO for such Settlement Interval.
“Operating Instructed Amount” means, in each five (5) minute interval other than during a Non-Buyer Dispatch, the amount (measured in MW) the Facility is instructed to charge pursuant to a Charging Notice or discharge pursuant to a Discharging Notice (and, in the absence of a Charging Notice or Discharging Notice, the charging and discharging levels shall be deemed to be instructed by Buyer to be zero (0) MW). (c) Section (b) of Exhibit P is replaced in its entirety with the following:
(b) The available PMAX, Effective Storage Capacity and Storage Capability in the above calculations shall be the lower of the amounts reported by (i) Seller’s real-time EMS data feed to Buyer for the Storage Facility, such that available Effective Storage Capacity is calculated as the product of (A) the count of available system inverters, multiplied by (B) the capacity, in MW AC, expected from each system inverter under normal operating conditions pursuant to the manufacturer’s guidelines, and available Storage Capability is likewise calculated as the product of (C) the count of available system cells, multiplied by (D) the capability, in MWh, expected from each system cell under

Agenda Page 18
3 normal operating conditions pursuant to the manufacturer’s guidelines, and (ii) Seller’s most recent Availability Notice (as updated pursuant to Section 4.3), which, with respect to the Available Effective Storage Capacity, shall be calculated as the average of the “Gen Max” and “Load Max” (or equivalent successor terms which may be used by the SC or CAISO from time to time) amounts reported in Seller’s Availability Notice and recorded in OMS for such Calculation Interval, and with respect to the Available Storage Capability, shall be calculated as “Max Energy” minus “Min Energy” (or equivalent successor terms which may be used by the SC or CAISO from time to time) amounts reported in Seller’s Availability Notice and recorded in OMS for such Calculation Interval and for which calculation the Battery Charging Factor and Batter Discharging Factor shall not be applied, provided that any such revised Availability Notice indicating an increase in the Storage Facility’s availability for the applicable Calculation Interval is submitted by Seller at least sixty (60) minutes prior to the time the Buyer is required to schedule or bid the Storage Facility in the Real-Time Market. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the calculations of available PMAX and Storage Capability in the foregoing sentence shall be based solely on the availability of the Storage Facility to charge or discharge Energy, as applicable (excluding for reasons at the high-voltage side of the Delivery Point or beyond). (d) Exhibit T – Form of Assignment Agreement is replaced in its entirety with the Exhibit T attached hereto as Attachment 1.

3. Applicable Date of Amendment. The Parties agree that the changes set forth in this Amendment shall apply effective as of the first anniversary of Commercial Operation and for the remainder of the Delivery Term. The Parties shall promptly recalculate any Monthly Capacity Payments for Contract Year 2 (including as may be adjusted by any YTD Annual Capacity Availability True-up Payment, if applicable) paid by Buyer to Seller prior to the Amendment Effective Date and make the appropriate payment for any over- or under-payments previously made with respect thereto.

4. Limited Effect. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Agreement are and will remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed by the Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the amendments contained herein will not be construed as an amendment to or waiver of any other provision of the Agreement or as a waiver of or consent to any further or future action on the part of either Party that would require the waiver or consent of the other Party.

Subject: Power Share Tariff Amendment and Power Share Community Solar Tariff
Date: December 7, 2023

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 23-12-057, approving the amendment to the Power Share Tariff and the new Power Share Community Solar Tariff.

BACKGROUND
On June 21, 2018, the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) issued D.18-06- 027 establishing programs to promote the installation of renewable generation among residential customers in disadvantaged communities (“DAC”), as directed by the California Legislature in Assembly Bill (AB) 327. On May 30, 2019, the CPUC issued Resolution E-4999 detailing program requirements and capacity allocations for Community Choice Aggregators for two programs, the Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff (“DAC-GT”) and Community Solar Green Tariff (“CSGT”) programs.

CPA submitted Advice Letter 0004-E to the CPUC on December 27, 2019, seeking authorization to implement DAC-GT and CSGT programs for the benefit of CPA’s low-income customers. On November 5, 2020, the CPUC issued Resolution E-5102, approving CPA’s DAC-GT and CSGT programs. In December 2020, the CPA Board adopted Resolution 20-12-012 approving a DAC-GT tariff, called the Power Share Tariff,

Agenda Page 28
Board of Directors Item 4
and CPA launched its DAC-GT program immediately thereafter, marketing it to customers as “CPA Power Share.”
Since then CPA has contracted for its full DAC-GT capacity allocation, 12.19 MW of new solar resources across 12 projects in local DACs. The DAC-GT portion of the Power Share program has reached full customer enrollment, delivering 100% renewable energy at a 20 percent total bill discount to approximately 6,500 low-income customers in DACs throughout CPA’s service territory. Funding from state Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) allowance proceeds and Public Purpose Program (“PPP”) charges cover CPA’s above-market procurement costs and the 20 percent customer bill discount, as well as CPA’s costs for program administration and marketing, education and outreach.

CPUC Resolution E-4999 requires DAC-GT program administrators to update tariffs to reflect program eligibility rules upon the release of updates to the State’s CalEnviroScreen mapping and pollution burden assessment tool used to identify DAC census tracts. CPUC Resolution E-5212 requires DAC-GT program administrators to update tariffs to modify program eligibility to align with the California Environmental Protection Agency’s May 2022 “DAC” Designation and expand eligibility to “California Indian Country”, as such term is defined in 18 United States Code Section 1151.13.

Per CPUC requirements, the CSGT portion of the Power Share program requires solicitation and development of new local solar projects by developers in collaboration with community partners, up to CPA’s total CGST capacity allocation of 3.37 MW. The projects must be located in DACs within five miles of customers to be served by the facility. As anticipated, CSGT has required a longer development timeline than the DAC-GT portion of the program, which CPA was able to launch quickly by utilizing existing renewable resources located in DACs anywhere in SCE’s service territory on an interim basis.

In December 2022, the CPA Board approved its first two CSGT projects, Beverly and San Gabriel, 400 kW and 270 kW facilities respectively, which are expected to begin

Agenda Page 29
Board of Directors Item 4
commercial operations in early 2024. Upon commercial operation, CPA will be able to begin providing energy from these projects along with the 20% bill discount to eligible customers in the neighboring Bassett and Avocado Heights communities. The program will be marketed to customers as “CPA Power Share Community Solar.” Additional CSGT projects totaling 2.7 MW are expected to become operational in 2025. The Power Share Community Solar program will serve approximately 1,800 customers when all projects are fully enrolled.

DISCUSSION

1. Power Share Tariff Amendment
The proposed amendment to the Power Share Tariff reflects compliance with 1) the CPUC Resolution E-4999 requirement that tariffs be updated to reflect program eligibility rules upon the release of updates to the CalEnviroScreen mapping and pollution burden assessment, and 2) the CPUC Resolution E-5212 requirement that tariffs be updated to modify program eligibility to align with the California Environmental Protection Agency’s May 2022 “DAC” Designation and expand eligibility to “California Indian Country”, as such term is defined in 18 United States Code Section 1151.13.

2. New Power Share Community Solar Tariff
The Power Share Community Solar Tariff details program eligibility criteria, methodology for application of the 20 percent discount to enrolled customers’ bills, and terms and conditions for customer participation.

In accordance with CPUC requirements, all customers enrolled in CSGT projects must reside in a disadvantaged community as defined by the CalEnviroScreen 3.0 or subsequent version1, which includes the top 25 percent of census tracts statewide based on income levels and pollution burden, and they must live in a census tract within five miles of the CSGT project. The first fifty percent of customers enrolled in a CSGT project must be eligible for financial assistance under the California Alternative Rates for Energy 1 See https://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscreen/sb535 for mapping of DAC census tracts.

Agenda Page 30
Board of Directors Item 4
(“CARE”) or Family Electric Rate Assistance (“FERA”) programs. Enrollment in each CSGT project is on a first come, first served basis, and is capped at the project capacity.

Once a CSGT project is fully subscribed, new customers will be placed on a waitlist and enrolled as capacity becomes available.

Up to 25 percent of each CSGT project’s capacity may be reserved for a Community Sponsor with an eligible service account in a DAC within five miles of the project. The Community Sponsor may begin receiving a 20 percent bill discount on their project allocation only after 50 percent of the project capacity has been subscribed by customers eligible for CARE or FERA.
a. Rates and Customer Bill Discount
Power Share Community Solar customers will be placed on the Power Share rates authorized by CPA’s Board in Resolution No. 20-12-012 and detailed in CPA’s Power Share Tariff, and will receive a 20 percent total bill discount identical to the discount received by Power Share customers.

As with Power Share, CARE/FERA customers participating in Power Share Community Solar will retain their CARE or FERA discount. The 20 percent Power Share discount will be applied to the customer’s CARE or FERA rate for a total bill discount of approximately 45 percent for CARE customers and approximately 35 percent for FERA customers. b. Marketing and Customer Enrollment
Customers will be able to determine their eligibility and enroll in Power Share Community Solar by calling CPA’s Customer Service Center or online at the CPA website by providing their last name, customer account number, and zip code. Applicants who are not currently enrolled in CARE or FERA will be directed to SCE customer service to establish eligibility and enroll in one of those programs prior to enrolling in Power Share Community Solar until at least 50 percent of the project enrollment capacity has been reached.

Agenda Page 31
Board of Directors Item 4
Eligible customers will be made aware of Power Share through a variety of channels including mail, email, social media, and member agency communications, as well as through Bassett Unified School District and the Bassett Avocado Advanced Energy Community (BAAEC) team, the projects’ Community Sponsors, who will assist with local outreach and enrollment support in the Bassett and Avocado Heights communities. The Community Sponsors will receive training on the program and will be equipped to facilitate customer enrollment via CPA’s web-based enrollment tool.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
As these tariffs contain both program and rate elements, a Reservation of Rights and Limitation of Liability provisions were added to both tariffs in an effort to mitigate risk against CPA.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This programmatic tariff does not fall under the definition of “project” under Section 21065 of the Public Resources Code and under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378(a). In addition, this tariff is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Any project developer will be responsible for acquiring necessary CEQA review and site approvals. CPA has no role, jurisdiction, or authority whatsoever with respect to that CEQA review or project approval.

Power Share Tariff
The purpose of the Clean Power Alliance (CPA) Power Share Tariff (referred to as “CPA Power Share” or “Power Share”) is to provide eligible customers residing in disadvantaged communities with a bill discount for 100 percent renewable resources from qualified renewable generating facilities in disadvantaged communities (“qualified facilities,” as defined below) procured by CPA to serve those customers’ electricity needs.

A. APPLICABILITY
The CPA Power Share Tariff is available to residential CPA customers who are eligible for the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) or Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) program and reside within a disadvantaged community (DAC) as defined and detailed in the Terms and Conditions below.

CPA will enroll customers in Power Share on a first-come, first-served basis until customer subscriptions reach 12.19 megawatts (MW) (CPA’s “Power Share Program Cap”). Enrollment in Power Share will occur as specified in the Terms and Conditions below. Once CPA reaches its Power Share Program Cap, a wait list will be maintained for new subscriptions.

When program capacity becomes available, CPA will enroll new eligible customers on a first-come, first-served basis.

This program is not available to customers on certain rate schedules or products as detailed in the Terms and Conditions below.

CPA will procure energy to serve customers enrolled in this program via Power Purchase Agreements with qualified facilities as detailed in the Terms and Conditions below.

This program will be available for customer participation as of December 7, 2020.

B. RATES AND CREDITS
All customers enrolling in CPA Power Share will receive 100% renewable electricity generation priced the same as CPA’s Clean Power rate tier prior to application of a 20% bill discount as described below. Customers will remain on their current applicable Southern California Edison (SCE) rate schedule(s) for transmission and delivery charges. All charges, credits and provisions of a customer’s otherwise applicable tariffs, rates, or policies (OAT) apply.

The total amount billed to the customer by CPA will be adjusted by applying a credit and/or discounted generation rate to the customer’s monthly usage that provides the equivalent of a 20 percent discount on their total bill under the OAT (including CPA generation charges at the Clean Power rate tier, SCE delivery transmission and distribution charges, and SCE CCA cost responsibility surcharges CCA-CRS charges) prior to the application of any fixed charges, credits, state and local taxes, or fees. CPA will adjust the Power Share rates in order to maintain the 20 percent bill discount whenever the otherwise applicable CPA or SCE rates change. Notice of any change to the Power Share rates arising from a change to SCE rates or other charges will be posted to CPA’s website at www.cleanpoweralliance.org and any change to the Power Share program or rates arising from a CPA rate change will be adopted at a duly noticed public meeting of CPA’s Board of Directors.

Agenda Page 36
CPA Power Share Tariff Adopted December 7, 2020 Page 2 of 4 Amended December 7, 2023
Existing CARE or FERA customers, and customers eligible for CARE or FERA who enroll in CARE or FERA in the process of signing up for Power Share, will retain their CARE or FERA discount and the 20 percent Power Share discount will be applied to the customer’s CARE or FERA rate.

C. TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Customer eligibility. To enroll in CPA Power Share customers must meet the following eligibility criteria:
a. CPA enrollment: Participants must be residential CPA customers. SCE bundled customers and customers served by Direct Access providers are not eligible to participate in this program.
b. CARE/FERA eligibility: Customers must be eligible for the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) or Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) program. If a customer is not already enrolled in CARE or FERA they may enroll in CARE or FERA prior to signing up for the Power Share Program. If they elect not to enroll in CARE or FERA, they will be required to certify their CARE or FERA eligibility with CPA as part of the process of enrolling in the Power Share Program. c. Disadvantaged community: The customer’s service address must be located in a DAC, which is a census tract that is either (1) identified by CalEnviroScreen 3.0, or CalEnviroScreen 4.0, or a subsequent version of CalEnviroScreen as scoring among the top 25 percent of census tracts statewide, (2) a census tract scoring in the highest 5 percent of the Pollution Burden score in CalEnviroScreen 3.0, or CalEnviroScreen 4.0, or a subsequent version of CalEnviroScreen that does not have an overall CalEnviroScreen score because of unreliable socioeconomic or health data, or (3) is located in California Indian Country as defined in 18 United States Code Section 1151, with the exception of privately held in-holdings, which are defined as non-Indian owned fee land located within the exterior boundaries of California Indian Country; in the event of multiple owners, such land shall be considered Indian owned if at least one owner is a tribe or tribal member, regardless of the use of the land.

The customer’s service address must be located in a disadvantaged community (DAC), identified by the CalEnviroScreen 3.0 as scoring among the top 25 percent of census tracts statewide, or census tracts scoring in the highest 5 percent of the CalEnviroScreen’s Pollution Burden, but that do not have an overall CalEnviroScreen score because of unreliable socioeconomic or health data. In the event the census tract in which a customer resides is not scored as a top 25 percent DAC in a subsequent version of the CalEnviroScreen tool or as one of the census tracts in the top 5 percent of pollution burden, the customer may retain their eligibility for DAC-Green Tariff.

2. Participation in Demand Response programs. Customers served by CPA Power Share can concurrently participate in Demand Response (DR) Programs for which they are otherwise eligible. All DR payments and credits are based on a customer’s metered usage and are not impacted by participation in this

Agenda Page 37
CPA Power Share Tariff Adopted December 7, 2020 Page 3 of 4 Amended December 7, 2023
program.

3. Ineligible rates. Customers served under the following rate schedules cannot concurrently participate in Power Share:
a. Net Energy Metering (NEM) schedules.
b. Other CPA rate options including CPA’s 100% Green Power, Clean Power and Lean Power rates and Power Share Community Solar Tariff. c. Customers served under a master meter rate schedule (Schedules DM, DMS-1, DMS-2 or DMS-3). d. TOU-EV-1 or other non-CARE/FERA eligible rates.
e. Non-residential rate schedules.

The program is not currently available to customers on SCE’s utility employee (DE) or TOU-D-T rate schedules.

4. Customer enrollment and term. After the program start date, service under Power Share rates will become effective within two billing periods after CPA receives a request from a customer to enroll in this program and CPA has confirmed that the customer meets program eligibility requirements.

There is no minimum length of time that a customer must take service under this program. There is also no termination fee associated with de-enrolling from Power Share. In the event a customer elects to no longer receive service under this program, the change will become effective no later than two billing periods after the date that CPA receives the customer’s request to de-enroll from Power Share.

Customers are eligible to remain on Power Share rates for a period of up to 20 years from the date they first began service under this program.

In the event that a customer turns off service at their current address and moves to a new location, the customer will need to recertify eligibility at the new location for service under this program. If they still meet all eligibility requirements specified in section C.1, above, the customer will retain their status as a program participant as long as the customer’s turn-on date at the new location is within 90 days of the final billing date at their original location and CPA receives a new enrollment application within 90 days of the customer’s turn-on date.

Customers enrolled in CARE or FERA must recertify their CARE or FERA eligibility with SCE as required by SCE tariffs. Customers who are not enrolled in CARE or FERA but are eligible for Power Share will be required to recertify their CARE or FERA eligibility through CPA at the end of the calendar year following a customer’s enrollment and at the end of every calendar year thereafter. Customers who, after enrollment in Power Share, become ineligible for Power Share will be de-enrolled from Power Share and returned to their previous CPA rate option.

5. Maximum subscription per customer. Enrollment in this program is capped at 2 MW for any single customer.

6. Qualified facilities. To serve customers enrolled in Power Share, CPA will procure energy resources, up to the Power Share Program Cap, from qualified facilities which are defined as new Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) eligible generating facilities with a nameplate rated generating capacity between 500 kW

CPA Power Share Community Solar Tariff - Adopted December 7, 2023 Page 1 of 6 Effective January 1, 2024
Power Share Community Solar Tariff
The purpose of the Clean Power Alliance of Southern California (“CPA”) Power Share Community Solar Tariff (“Power Share-CS”) is to provide eligible customers residing in disadvantaged communities with a bill discount for 100 percent renewable resources procured by CPA from qualifying Community Solar facilities (“CS Facilities”) located within their communities to serve those customers’ electricity needs.

A. APPLICABILITY
Power Share-CS is available to eligible residential CPA customers and Community Sponsors located (1) within a disadvantaged community (DAC) and (2) within five (5) miles of a CS Facility as defined in Section B below.

Enrollment in Power Share-CS at each CS Facility will be capped at the capacity of that facility (“CS Facility Cap”). Once a CS Facility Cap is reached, a wait list will be maintained for new enrollments. When CS Facility capacity becomes available, CPA will enroll new eligible customers on a first-come, first-served basis.

This program is not available to customers on certain rate schedules or products as detailed in the Terms and Conditions in Section D below.

CPA will procure energy to serve customers enrolled in this program via Power Purchase Agreements with qualified facilities as detailed in Section B below.

This program will be available for customer participation after the later of January 1, 2024 or the date on which a CS Facility has achieved commercial operation.

B. COMMUNITY SOLAR FACILITIES
For the purpose of this tariff, a CS Facility is defined as a Renewable Portfolio Standard (“RPS”) eligible generating facility that is located within a DAC and within five miles of the census tracts in which subscribing customers reside. CS Facilities may have a nameplate rated generating capacity no larger than 3 MW for any one project. The developer of a CS Facility must enter into a Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with CPA for the sale and purchase of the power produced by the facility and is responsible for developing and operating the CS Facility. Customers served under this tariff are not parties to the PPA and are not third-party beneficiaries to the PPA.

The developer of a CS Facility must partner with one or more local non-profit community-based organizations, schools, or local government entities ("Community Sponsors”) which promote and facilitate enrollment in the Power Share-CS program and which may be eligible to receive a 20% bill discount (see Section D.2 for more information).

Agenda Page 40

Page 2 of 6 ends

A CS Facility will retain its eligibility to serve customers under this program throughout the life of that project, even if the local qualified DAC designations change in subsequent iterations of CalEnviroScreen (see Section D.1.b for more information).

C. RATES AND CREDITS

1. Residential Customers
All residential customers enrolling in Power Share-CS will be placed on CPA’s Power Share rates as detailed in the CPA Power Share Tariff.1 Per the CPA Power Share Tariff, residential Power Share-CS customers will receive 100% renewable electricity generation priced the same as CPA’s Clean Power rate tier prior to application of a 20% bill discount as described below. Customers will remain on their current applicable Southern California Edison (“SCE”) rate schedule(s) for transmission and delivery charges. All charges, credits and provisions of a customer’s otherwise applicable tariffs, rates, or policies (“OAT”) apply.

The total amount billed to the customer by CPA will be adjusted by applying a credit and/or discounted generation rate to the customer’s monthly usage that provides the equivalent of a 20 percent discount on their total bill under the OAT (including CPA generation charges at the Clean Power rate tier, SCE delivery charges, and SCE CCA cost responsibility surcharges) prior to the application of any fixed charges, credits, state and local taxes, or fees. CPA will adjust the Power Share rates in order to maintain the 20 percent bill discount whenever the otherwise applicable CPA or SCE rates change. Notice of any change to the Power Share rates arising from a change to SCE rates or other charges will be posted to CPA’s website at www.cleanpoweralliance.org and any change to the Power Share program or rates arising from a CPA rate change will be adopted at a duly noticed public meeting of CPA’s Board of Directors.

Existing CARE or FERA customers, and customers eligible for CARE or FERA who enroll in CARE or FERA in the process of signing up for Power Share-CS, will retain their CARE or FERA discount and the 20 percent Power Share discount will be applied to the customer’s CARE or FERA rate.

2. Community Sponsors
Community Sponsors eligible for a bill discount on their Community Sponsor Subscription Amount as detailed in Section D.2 below will remain on their OAT and will continue to receive and pay monthly bills on their OAT. CPA will calculate and apply a 20% bill discount to the Community Sponsor Subscription Amount according to the following formula:

CPA Power Share Community Solar Tariff - Adopted December 7, 2023 Effective January 1, 2024
Agenda Page 41

Page 3 of 6 ends

Community Sponsor Bill Discount = Total Bill Amount2 ($) x Community Sponsor Subscription Amount (kWh) / Total Billed Usage (kWh) x 20% CPA will issue the Community Sponsor’s accrued bill discount as a bill credit to the Community Sponsor’s enrolled service account at least once each calendar year and may issue the bill credits more frequently at its discretion.

D. TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Customer eligibility. To enroll in this program customers must meet the following eligibility criteria:
a. CPA enrollment: To receive service under this program participants must be residential CPA customers, with the exception of Community Sponsors as defined in the Terms and Conditions below.

requirements and are eligible for the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) or Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) program (“Qualifying Customers”). If a customer is not already enrolled in CARE or FERA they may enroll in CARE or FERA prior to signing up for the Power Share-CS program. If they elect not to enroll in CARE or FERA, they will be required to certify their eligibility for one of these programs as part of the process of enrolling in the Power Share-CS.
e. Non-qualifying Customers: After fifty percent of the output of a CS Facility has been subscribed by Qualifying Customers, non-qualifying customers, including customers on Domestic Multifamily rates (DM or DMS rate schedules) who meet all other eligibility requirements may enroll in the program, subject to each individual CS Facility Cap.

2. Community Sponsors. Community Sponsors may be eligible to receive a 20% bill discount subject to the following requirements:
a. Community Sponsors are subject to the same terms and conditions as residential customers, including the requirement that they are a CPA customer with a service address that is located in a DAC and in a census tract that is within five miles of the CS Facility;
b. Fifty percent of the CS Facility’s capacity must be subscribed by CARE/FERA eligible customers prior to the Community Sponsor receiving a bill discount;
c. Community Sponsors must specify the eligible service account(s) and the amount of energy (“Community Sponsor Subscription Amount”) to which the 20% bill discount will be applied. The Community Sponsor Subscription Amount may not exceed (a) 25 percent (25%) of the CS Facility’s energy output and (b) the total energy usage for the Community Sponsor’s enrolled service account(s); and

3. Participation in Demand Response programs. Customers served by this program can concurrently participate in any Demand Response (“DR”) Programs for which they are otherwise eligible. All DR payments and credits are based on a customer’s metered usage and are not impacted by participation in this program.

4. Ineligible rates. Customer service accounts served under the following rate schedules cannot concurrently participate in Power Share-CS:
a. Net Energy Metering (“NEM”) Tariff or Solar Billing Plan (SBP) Tariff (also Agenda Page 43
CPA Power Share Community Solar Tariff - Adopted December 7, 2023 Page 5 of 6 Effective January 1, 2024
known as Net Billing Tariff).
b. Residential rate schedules enrolled in other CPA rate products including but not limited to CPA’s 100% Green Power, Clean Power, and Lean Power products.
c. Power Share Tariff.
d. TOU-EV-1.
e. Non-residential rate schedules, with the exception of Community Sponsors as detailed in Section D.2 above.

5. Customer enrollment and term. After a CS Facility has achieved commercial operation, service under this Tariff shall become effective within two billing periods after CPA receives an enrollment request from a customer and CPA has confirmed that the customer meets program eligibility requirements.

There is no minimum length of time that a customer must take service under this program. There is also no termination fee associated with de-enrolling from Power Share-CS, and a customer can de-enroll from the program at any time by contacting CPA Customer Support at 888-585-3788 or
[email protected]. Selecting a different CPA rate product (e.g., Lean Power, Clean Power, 100% Green Power) or opting out of CPA service, either by phone or via the CPA website, will also have the effect of de-enrolling from the program. In the event a customer elects to no longer receive service under this program, the change will become effective no later than two billing periods after the date that CPA receives the customer’s request to de-enroll from Power Share-CS. Customers are eligible to remain on Power Share-CS rates for a period of up to 20 years from the date they first began service under this program.

In the event that a customer moves and turns off service at their current address and moves to a new location, the customer will need to recertify eligibility at the new location for service under this program. If such customer still meets the eligibility requirements specified in Section D.1 above, the customer will retain their status as a program participant as long as the customer’s turn-on date at the new location is within 90 days of the final billing date at their original location and CPA receives a new enrollment application within 90 days of the customer’s turn-on date.

Customers who, after enrollment in Power Share-CS, fail to meet the eligibility requirements specified in Section D.1 above will be de-enrolled from Power Share-CS and returned to their previous CPA rate option.

Service under this program will automatically terminate at the start of the next billing period if the PPA between CPA and the developer of the CS facility to which the customer is subscribed is terminated or the delivery term ends.

From: Karen Schmidt, Director, Rates & Strategy
Approved By: Ted Bardacke, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Net Billing Tariff Amendment
Date: December 7, 2023

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution 23-12-058 Amending the Clean Power Alliance Net Billing Tariff effective December 7, 2023.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On July 6, 2023 the Board of Directors approved a Net Billing Tariff (“CPA NBT Tariff”).

The CPA NBT Tariff largely mirrored the California Public Utility Commission’s Decision 22-12-056 (also known as “NEM 3.0”) and the portions of Southern California Edison’s proposed Net Billing Tariff (“SCE NBT Tariff”) that apply to customers’ generation charges and credits. The CPA NBT Tariff took effect on September 1, 2023 and is applicable to customers with solar systems installed on or after this date. Customers who began service on CPA’s Net Energy Metering (NEM) Tariff before September 1, 2023 are not affected by the CPA NBT Tariff.

The SCE NBT Tariff was approved by the CPUC on November 30, 2023. To ensure operational consistency between the CPA NBT Tariff and the final approved SCE NBT Tariff, the proposed amendment to the CPA NBT Tariff affirms that customers may opt-out of the nine-year “lock-in period” for generation Energy Export Credit Prices (“EEC

Agenda Page 46
Board of Directors Item 5
Prices“) and updates certain website references for additional information on the NBT Tariff and EEC Prices.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
As this tariff contains both program and rate elements, a Reservation of Rights and Limitation of Liability provisions were added in an effort to mitigate risk against CPA.

Net Billing Tariff (NBT)
APPLICABILITY: Clean Power Alliance of Southern California’s (CPA) Net Billing Tariff (“CPA NBT Tariff”) shall be effective on September 1, 2023, and shall apply to (i) CPA customers served under Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Schedule NBT (Net Billing Tariff)1(“SCE NBT Schedule”), (ii) CPA customers who are eligible for NEM Tariff and elect to switch the CPA NBT Tariff, and (iii) CPA customers who are automatically transitioned to the SCE NBT Schedule following the termination of their 20-year SCE Net Energy Metering (NEM) legacy period.1 SCE rate schedules are available at: www.sce.com/regulatory/tariff-books/rates-pricing-choices/other-rates and may be amended or replaced by SCE from time to time. The CPA NBT Tariff may be amended from time to time or replaced by CPA’s Board of Directors (“Board”) at a duly-noticed public meeting of the Board.2
CPA customers served under CPA’s NBT Tariff must provide SCE with a completed SCE NBT or SCE NEM Application and comply with all other SCE requirements for enrollment in the SCE NBT Program3 before being eligible for the CPA NBT Program.

Eligible CPA customers who begin service under the SCE NBT Schedule on or after September 1, 2023 are automatically enrolled in the CPA NBT Tariff either at the time of initially enrolling with CPA or at the time SCE begins serving them on the SCE NBT Schedule. Eligible CPA customers who begin service under the SCE NEM or NBT Schedules prior to September 1, 2023, will be eligible for service under the CPA NEM Tariff (www.cleanpoweralliance.org/nemsolar/) for 20 years following their SCE Original Permission to Operate Notice (PTO) Date.4 At CPA’s discretion, customers who began service under the SCE NBT Schedule between September 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 and can document that their NEM or NBT application was submitted to SCE prior to September 1, 2023, may be placed on the CPA NEM Tariff for 20 years following their Original PTO Date.

Customers served under the CPA NEM Tariff may elect to switch to the CPA NBT Tariff.

Customers who voluntarily switch to the CPA NBT Tariff or who are automatically transitioned to the CPA NBT Tariff following the termination of their NEM legacy period are not eligible to return to service under the CPA NEM Tariff.

NBT TRANSITION CUSTOMERS: Customers who begin service on the CPA NBT Tariff before CPA and SCE have fully implemented NBT billing systems will be initially served under the CPA NEM Tariff. These customers will be transferred to the CPA NBT Tariff at the end of their CPA NEM Tariff Relevant Period following full implementation of CPA and SCE NBT billing systems but no earlier than April 1, 2025.
1 See SCE Schedule NEM and Schedule NEM-ST at www.sce.com/regulatory/tariff-books/rates-pricing-choices/other-rates for details on SCE NEM legacy periods. 2 Board agendas are available at: https://cleanpoweralliance.org/get-involved/agendas-minutes/ 3 See www.sce.com/residential/generating-your-own-power/solar-billing-plan for more information. 4 CPA’s NEM Schedule is available at: https://cleanpoweralliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/NEM-Tariff-4-6-

23.pdf. Permission to Operate Notice (PTO) is SCE’s written approval authorizing a customer to commence operation of a qualifying renewable electrical generating facility or approving customer’s proposed modifications of the generating facility. The date that SCE provides the customer with the original PTO is referred to as the Original PTO Date. See SCE Schedule NBT for additional information.

Agenda Page 50
CPA Net Billing Tariff Adopted July 6, 2023 - Effective September 1, 2023 Page 2 of 6 Amended December 7, 2023
RATES: All rates for the CPA NBT Tariff are in accordance with the customer’s otherwise applicable CPA rate schedule (CPA OAS). Nothing in this tariff will supersede any SCE authorized charges.

CHARGES, CREDITS AND BILLING: CPA’s charges and credits for energy (kilowatt-hours, or kWh) are calculated as described below.
a) Energy Charges:

As determined in each billing period, Energy Charges are calculated by multiplying the customer’s energy consumption (electricity imported from the grid, as recorded on the import channel of the customer’s SCE meter) in kWh by the applicable energy rate components ($/kWh) in the customer’s CPA OAS.
b) Energy Export Credits:

As determined in each billing period, Energy Export Credits are calculated by multiplying the hourly-differentiated customer’s energy export (electricity exported to the grid, as recorded on the export channel of the customer’s SCE meter) in kWh by the Generation component of the hourly Energy Export Credit Price (EEC Price) derived from the State-approved Avoided Cost Calculator (ACC) value for each hour of the billing period.5 Generation EEC Prices will be posted on CPA’s website.6 The calculated value of such net energy exports shall be credited to the customer and applied as described in Sections (c) and (d), below.

Energy Export Credits are calculated monthly and can be used to offset Energy Charges (as calculated above) incurred during the billing period but at no point can they offset demand charges, taxes, or other charges or fees within the Customer’s OAS, nor will they offset any SCE charges. Any unused Energy Export Credits can be used to offset Energy Charges within the customer’s Relevant Period as described in Section (d).

For customers with an Original PTO Date between April 15, 2023 and December 31, 2027, EEC Prices are fixed during the first 9 years (the “lock-in period”) beginning on the Original PTO Date so long as the SCE Interconnection Agreement remains valid and under the name of the original customer (or an “Eligible Same Party In” as defined in SCE’s Schedule NBT7). During the “lock-in period”, these customers will have the EEC Prices derived from the ACC adopted by the CPUC to be in effect as of January 1 of the calendar year of the customer’s Original PTO Date. Upon written request, CPA will permit these customers to opt out from the “lock-in period” described above. A new 5 The EEC Price is a $/kWh value which represents the estimated value of exports to the grid. Each year, the EEC Price is calculated using the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Avoided Cost Calculator (ACC) approved to be effective as of January 1 of the calculation year (the “vintage year”). For each “vintage year”, the EEC Price is calculated for each month of a 9-year horizon period, and it is differentiated by hour (24 hours) and by weekdays and weekend/holidays. In addition, each hourly EEC Price is broken down in two components: (1) the Generation EEC Price (energy, cap and trade and generation capacity) component, and (2) the Delivery Service EEC Price (transmission, distribution, greenhouse adder and methane leakage) component. The current version of the ACC is available at https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/industries-and-topics/electrical-energy/demand-side-management/energy-efficiency/idsm. 6 www.cleanpoweralliance.org/nemsolar/.
7 For residential customers an Eligible Same Party In is a legal partner of the Service Account holder on record at the time of the Original POT Date. For non-residential customers, it is the account-holding entity that continues to be majority-controlled by the same underlying individuals or entities from the Original PTO Date.

Agenda Page 51
CPA Net Billing Tariff Adopted July 6, 2023 - Effective September 1, 2023 Page 3 of 6 Amended December 7, 2023
customer, other than an Eligible Same Party In, moving into a dwelling with an existing generating facility served under SCE’s NBT Schedule will not be eligible to retain the EEC Prices associated with the Original PTO Date of the generating facility.

For customers with an Original PTO Date after December 31, 2027, customers that have elected to opt-out from the “lock-in period”, and for customers that have exceeded their “lock-in period”, the EEC Prices change each year and are based on the EEC Prices derived from the CPUC ACC adopted by the CPUC to be in effect as of January 1 of the calendar year corresponding to the calculation month.

Residential customers eligible for an ACC Plus Adder as defined under the SCE NBT Schedule8 will receive the ACC Plus Adder from SCE on the delivery portion of their monthly bills. Enrollment or disenrollment in CPA service does not affect the value of the customer’s ACC Plus Adder credits.
c) Monthly Settlement of CPA Charges/Credits:

Each customer will receive a statement as part of their monthly SCE bill indicating accrued CPA Energy Charges for electric energy imported and/or CPA Energy Export Credits for energy exported during the current monthly billing cycle. When a customer’s CPA credits during the monthly billing cycle result in an accrued credit balance in excess of currently applicable CPA Energy Charges, the value of those credits shall be noted on the customer’s bill and carried over as a bill credit for use in a subsequent billing cycle(s).

A customer who has accrued credits during previous billing cycles will see such credits applied against currently applicable CPA Energy Charges, reducing otherwise applicable Energy Charges by an equivalent amount to such credits. Any remaining credits reflected on the customer’s billing statement shall be carried forward to subsequent billing cycle(s) until either (i) the excess credit is used to satisfy current Energy Charges, (ii) the customer no longer receives service from CPA, or (iii) an annual account true-up is performed. d) CPA Annual True-Up & Cash-Out Processes:
i) CPA Annual True-Up: During the April monthly billing cycle of each year, CPA will perform a true-up of the most recent twelve (12) monthly billing cycles (the “Relevant Period”) for all active customers with at least 12 months of participation in the CPA NBT Program. If as of April an active customer has less than 12 months of enrollment in the CPA NBT Tariff, their first Annual True-Up will take place during April of the following year and then every 12 months thereafter. a. Net Surplus Energy Adjustment: Net Surplus Energy is defined as any generation that exceeds total customer energy usage during the Relevant Period, as measured in kWh. If the customer’s Net Surplus Energy at the end of the Relevant Period is greater than zero, CPA will calculate an Energy Export Credit Adjustment (in $) equal to the Net Surplus Energy (in kWh) multiplied by the then posted Average Retail Export Compensation Rate (in 8 ACC Plus Adder is an additional credit for Export Energy to eligible CPA Customers. Qualified low-income customers are eligible for a higher ACC Plus Adder rate. For additional information, see SCE NBT Schedule, available at: https://www.sce.com/regulatory/tariff-books/rates-pricing-choices/other-rates.

Agenda Page 52
CPA Net Billing Tariff Adopted July 6, 2023 - Effective September 1, 2023 Page 4 of 6 Amended December 7, 2023
$/kWh). If the Net Surplus Energy is zero, then the Energy Export Credit Adjustment will be $0.
b. Energy Export Credit Refund: At the time of the Annual True-Up, if the customer has accumulated Energy Export Credits in excess of any currently outstanding Energy Charges, those credits will first be used to offset the Energy Export Credit Adjustment, if any. Any remaining Energy Export Credits will be refunded to the customer up to the total CPA Energy Charges paid by the customer on the same NBT account during the Relevant Period (“Refundable EEC”), consistent with CPA’s Annual Cash-Out practice in Section (d)(ii).9 Any unused Energy Export Credits shall not be carried forward to the start of a new Relevant Period; rather, the unused Energy Export Credits shall be zeroed out and a new Relevant Period will commence. c. Net Surplus Compensation (NSC): CPA will determine at the time of Annual True-Up whether each customer has produced Net Surplus Energy over the course of the Relevant Period. If a customer has produced Net Surplus Energy, then CPA shall credit such customer an amount not to exceed $10,000 that is equal to the current Net Surplus Compensation rate per kWh, as defined in CPA Net Surplus Compensation Rate Schedule, multiplied by the quantity of Net Surplus Energy produced by the customer during the Relevant Period, consistent with CPA’s Annual Cash-Out practice in (d)(ii) below. The CPA Net Surplus Compensation Rate Schedule is posted to CPA’s website and updated monthly. CPA Net Surplus Compensation Schedule can be viewed at www.cleanpoweralliance.org/nem/.
d. NSC Renewable Attribute Adder (RAA): CPA will include a Renewable Attribute Adder (RAA) with the NSC rate if the eligible customer or their designee provides a completed and executed Form 14-935 verifying that the Customer has completed all of the following: (i) registered their generating facility at the Western Renewable Energy Generation Information System (WREGIS); (ii) obtained Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) ownership certification from the California Energy Commission (CEC) for the Customer’s Net Surplus Energy and provides this certification to CPA; and (iii) transferred ownership of the Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) associated with the Customer’s Net Surplus Energy to CPA.

For details on the CEC and WREGIS certification process, refer to the CEC’s RPS Eligibility Guidebook, which can be found at:
https://www.energy.ca.gov/programs-and-topics/programs/renewables-portfolio-standard CPA will use the RAA values calculated by SCE using the most recent Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) average renewable premium, based on United States Department of Energy (DOE) published data. The RAA will only be paid to those customers eligible for NSC who provide RECs to CPA. 9 If a customer account has any outstanding balance at the time of Annual True-Up, the customer will have a 30-day grace period to pay in full before their Annual True-Up is performed in order to be eligible for Energy Export Credit refund.

At the conclusion of each Relevant Period, the eligible customer must notify CPA that the customer has transferred the RECs associated with the Net Surplus Energy in WREGIS by completing Form 14-935 and will send the CEC RPS certificate with the form to CPA.
ii) CPA Annual Cash-Out: During the April monthly billing cycle of each year, any current customer with at least 12 months of enrollment in the CPA NBT Tariff who has a combined Refundable EEC and Net Surplus Compensation value of $100 or more that exceeds any outstanding Energy Charges, will be sent a payment by check via U.S. Mail to the customer’s U.S. mailing address on file at the time of mailing for the credit balance on their account, as determined through CPA’s Annual True-Up process as specified in this section d(i), above. Customers receiving direct payment will have an equivalent amount removed from their NBT account balance at the time of check issuance. In the event that customers do not have a combined Refundable EEC and Net Surplus Compensation value exceeding $100, such credit balance will be carried forward to offset future CPA Energy Charges, unless the customer requests issuance of a check for the credit balance by contacting the CPA Customer Service Center via phone or email. If such a request is received after the customer’s rollover credit has been applied to charges in months following the Annual True-Up, a check will be issued for the remaining credit balance on the account. All NBT accounts will be reset to zero kilowatt-hours annually as of the customer’s May monthly billing cycle and the only NBT credits carried forward on the customer’s account will be the combined Refundable EEC and Net Surplus Compensation credit balances less than $100.

Checks will expire 90 calendar days after issuance. If checks expire, the check amount will be returned to a customer’s NBT account as bill credits and will be applied toward future charges.
iii) CPA Cash-Out for Terminations: Customers who close their electric account through SCE, opt-out of CPA and return to bundled service, or move outside of the CPA service area prior to the April monthly billing cycle of each year, shall be trued up according to CPA’s Annual True-Up Process. If applicable, the customer shall receive a refund payment by check via U.S. Mail to the customer’s U.S. mailing address on file at the time of mailing for any Export Energy Credits on their account that exceeds outstanding Energy Charges at the time of true-up, up to the total amount of Energy Charges paid by the customer during the Relevant Period. If determined to have produced Net Surplus Energy, the customer shall also receive a check via U.S. Mail to the customer’s mailing address on file at the time of mailing for Net Surplus Compensation, up to a maximum of $10,000. Payments are released 30 days after final billing to allow for any revised usage and/or adjustments from SCE. Checks will expire 90 calendar days after issuance. If checks expire or are returned to CPA, customers may request the reissuance of a check for up to one year after check issuance date and CPA will make a reasonable effort to reissue the check within 30 days of a customer’s request. After

e) SCE NBT Program:

Customers are subject to all applicable terms and conditions and billing procedures of SCE for SCE charges as described in SCE’s NBT Rate Schedule (with the exception of CPA OAS charges, which are described in CPA’s rate schedules).

SCE will continue to calculate and apply charges and credits for delivery, transmission, and other services as detailed in SCE’s NBT Rate Schedule, and CPA credits cannot be applied to any SCE charges.

Please review the SCE NBT Rate Schedule10 for more information. f) Return to SCE Bundled Service:

CPA customers participating in the CPA NBT Program may opt out and enroll in SCE’s bundled service, subject to any applicable restrictions imposed by SCE. Customers who opt out of CPA service are subject to SCE NBT Rate Schedule11.

If a CPA customer opts out more than 60 days after their initial enrollment date, CPA will perform a true-up of their account, as specified in Section (d)(iii), at the time of enrollment in SCE bundled service.

For details concerning opting out of CPA service, please contact CPA Customer Service at 888-585-3788 or [email protected]. g. Reservation of Rights

CPA recorded an operating loss of $13.8 million in September 2023 which was $6.5 million more than the budgeted operating loss of $7.3 million. For the year to date, CPA recorded an operating gain of $6.5 million, $23.8 million or 79% less than the budgeted operating gain of $30.3 million provided in the FY 2023/24 budget.

Year to date results were impacted by the following factors:

1. Revenues were $483.5 million or 6% lower than budget primarily as a result of cooler than normal temperatures and less electricity used in CPA’s service area in September 2023.

2. The cost of energy was $467 million or 0.4% below the FY2023/24 budget. Cost of energy was primarily impacted by September CAISO spot market prices that were significantly lower than energy forward prices that were used for budgeting purposes and the absence of significant heat events or price spikes in CPA’s service area.

3. Operating costs were 22% below budget for the year to date due to lower than budgeted spending on general and administrative expenses, customer programs and other services, and the non-utilization of contingencies.

As of September 30, 2023, CPA had $214.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $159.853 million available in its bank line of credit representing 114 Days Liquidity on Hand.

CPA is financially sound and in compliance with its bank and other credit covenants.

1. RMT Quarterly Report

Agenda Page 63
Board of Directors Item 7
Quarterly Report of Risk Management Team
July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 (Q3 2023)
I. Introduction
The Board of Directors of Clean Power Alliance (CPA) approved an Energy Risk Management Policy (ERMP) at its July 12, 2018 meeting, which provides the framework for conducting procurement activities in a manner that maximizes the probability of CPA meeting its portfolio, reliability, and financial goals. The ERMP has been amended on an annual basis to account for changing business conditions and/or regulatory requirements, most recently on July 6, 2023.

The ERMP requires quarterly reporting to the Board on the activities, projected financial performance, and general market outlook facing CPA. The Risk Management Team (RMT)1 submits this report in accordance with this requirement. Though not required by the ERMP, the RMT also reports on ERMP compliance monthly to both the Finance Committee and Energy Planning & Resources Committee.

II. Risk Management Team Activities
The RMT is responsible for implementing, maintaining, and overseeing compliance with the ERMP and for maintaining the Energy Risk Hedging Strategy. The primary goal of the RMT is to ensure that the procurement activities of CPA are executed within the guidelines of the ERMP and are consistent with Board directives. Several business practices are prescribed in the ERMP. What follows is a summary of CPA’s compliance with these practices as outlined in the Policy.

A. ERMP Acknowledgement Form
It is the policy of CPA that all CPA Representatives participating in any activity or transaction within the scope of the ERMP shall sign on an annual basis or upon any revision, a statement acknowledging compliance with the ERMP. Execution of this year’s ERMP Acknowledgement Form was completed by all relevant CPA staff, and relevant consultants. Execution of this year’s Acknowledgement Form by Board members is in process.

B. Transaction Types
The ERMP includes a list of approved transaction types. All products that have been purchased or sold by CPA during the current quarterly period represent an approved transaction type as listed in Appendix C of the ERMP.

C. Counterparty Suitability
1 The RMT is comprised of CPA’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Vice President, Power Supply.

Agenda Page 64
Board of Directors Item 7
The ERMP requires that all counterparties with whom CPA transacts must be reviewed for creditworthiness and assigned a credit limit. A formal Counterparty Credit Protocol document that describes the method for evaluating counterparties and establishing a credit limit was developed by CPA’s Chief Financial Officer and CPA’s former scheduling coordinator, The Energy Authority (TEA). The Protocol was approved by the Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with the RMT, and enacted in Q1 2019.

Pursuant to the ERMP, no counterparty credit limit may exceed $50 million unless approved in writing by the Board. CPA continues to manage counterparty credit exposures through margining and other credit enhancement requests where contractually permitted. During the quarter, no counterparty that contracted to provide electricity system hedges exceeded its credit limit.

D. System of Record
As required by the ERMP, all transactions are being stored both in CPA’s systems as well as in CPA’s Scheduling Coordinator’s (currently Tenaska Power Services, or TPS) trading and risk management system. Similarly, all transaction approvals are being logged and stored on TPS’s servers, with information being made available to CPA staff via a secure web portal. The transaction record also includes the confirmation letters for each transaction. CPA is in the process of transitioning its transaction repository to an internal data warehouse, which will provide additional functionality and security features.

E. Position Tracking and Management Reporting
To manage risk, the ERMP requires the regular production of various reports. The status of each report required by policy follows:
• Financial Model Forecast: The financial model captures projected revenues and energy and operating costs and produces various financial reports and forecasts on an accrual basis. The model uses load forecast data produced by CPA, energy contract details from CPA’s Front Office and Middle Office systems, revenue projections from CPA’s revenue model and forward prices from the ICE Data Service and TPS.
• Net Position Report: Short- and long-term net position reports are in production, managed directly by CPA procurement staff, and linked to TPS’s trade capture system or to CPA’s internal energy trading and risk management system (ETRM), currently undergoing enhancements. The short-term net position report updates daily and incorporates the current weather outlook for the next 60 days to show net positions for the current and next months. The long-term net position report assumes normal weather and shows net positions through the balance of the current year and prompt four years.
• Counterparty Credit Exposure: CPA is adhering to the credit policies included in the ERMP, with the above-mentioned market price-induced exceedances being managed by the RMT. CPA receives daily updates of counterparty credit exposures on both a notional and mark-to-market basis.

Agenda Page 65
Board of Directors Item 7
• Monthly Risk Analysis: The ERMP requires both stress testing of financial results and probability-based assessments of future financial projections. CPA continues to implement and improve risk analysis tools to stress test financial results and validate potential hedging transactions. Recurring monthly risk analysis focuses on the prompt 12 months, while specific studies extend through calendar 2025 and/or beyond.
• Quarterly Board Report: Subject of this report.

F. Delegation of Authority
All executed transactions during the current period have been approved consistent with the Delegation of Authority outlined in Section 5 of the ERMP.

G. Limit Deviations or Business Practice Reporting
The ERMP requires that transaction volumes should not be executed that exceed the requirements of meeting CPA’s load (energy and capacity), renewable and/or carbon free energy requirements. The ERMP designates specific hedge targets for the prompt-year (PY) through the prompt plus 9-years for different product types.

RMT reviewed the relevant hedge targets for 2023 and beyond and identified no policy deviations.

There are no existing or potential violations of conflicts of interest or General Conduct to report for this quarterly period.

H. Training
The ERMP acknowledges the importance of ongoing education as part of its risk management framework. Consistent with this, the ERMP outlines certain training requirements. All procurement and risk management staff, including the members of the RMT, were up to date on required training.

I. Hedging Strategy
CPA is compliant with the hedging strategy provided in Appendix A of the ERMP.

J. Financial Performance
CPA’s Q3 contribution to net position was $7.5M, which is below the budgeted contribution of $30.5M. This is largely due to mild weather leading to light loads and low market prices in July and September.

Agenda Page 66
Board of Directors Item 7
III. General Market Conditions
Southern California experienced cooler than normal temperatures in July and September 2023. This led to lower than normal electricity consumption in July and September 2023. July and September 2023 wholesale electricity prices were significantly lower than historical averages and lower than energy market forward prices used to set FY 2023/24 rates and budget. Forward prices for energy have been relatively stable. Forward prices for resource adequacy and renewable energy remain elevated.

Alliance, and to Authorize Staff to Submit Addendum to the California Public Utilities Commission
Date: December 7, 2023

RECOMMENDATION
Provided that the City of Lynwood has passed an ordinance to join Clean Power Alliance by December 5, 2023, conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of Resolution No. 23-012-059-A (Attachment 1) to approve Addendum No. 5 (Attachment 2) adding the cities of La Cañada Flintridge, Lynwood, and Port Hueneme as members of Clean Power Alliance and to authorize staff to submit Addendum No. 5 as attached, or in a substantially similar form, to the California Public Utilities Commission on or before December 31, 2023.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Staff is presenting Addendum No. 5 to CPA’s Implementation Plan, a document required by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for CPA to provide energy service to new member communities. The Board adopted its original Implementation Plan on August 4, 2017, at which time the organization included three members: Los Angeles County, Rolling Hills Estates, and South Pasadena. On December 17, 2017, the Board adopted Implementation Plan Addendum No. 1, adding 21 additional cities, and on March

Agenda Page 83
Board of Directors Item 11
1, 2018, the Board adopted Addendum No. 2, adding 7 additional cities. On December 13, 2018, the Board adopted Implementation Plan Addendum No. 3, adding one additional city. On December 1, 2022, the Board adopted Implementation Plan Addendum No. 4, adding three additional cities, bringing the total membership of CPA to its current 35 jurisdictions.

Pursuant to CPUC regulations, a resolution approving Addendum No. 5 must be adopted by the Board and filed with the CPUC by December 31, 2023 in order for CPA to begin serving load to customers in these cities in 2025. The three cities collectively will add approximately 33,100 customers and increase total load (kWh) by approximately 4.3%.

Addendum No. 5 updates CPA’s forecasted load, capacity requirements, Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requirements, and operating results to reflect the anticipated impacts of the planned expansion to the new member agencies as well as the most recent historical energy use within CPA’s service territory. It sets October 2025 as the proposed implementation date when service to customers in the new member communities would begin.

Upon Board approval of Resolution 23-012-059-A, the new member agencies will sign CPA’s Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) in December 2023 and their signature pages will be added to the appendices of Addendum No. 5 prior to its submission to the CPUC. The new members will be officially admitted to the JPA after the CPUC’s certification of and issuance, if any, of findings on Addendum No. 5 to the Implementation Plan and the satisfaction of any other conditions that the Board may establish in response to changes in regulations, legislation, or market conditions.

CPA Implementation Plan Addendum No. 5
1 The purpose of this document is to make certain revisions to the Clean Power Alliance of Southern California1 (“CPA”) Community Choice Aggregation Implementation Plan and Statement of Intent (“Implementation Plan”) to address the expansion of CPA to include the cities of La Cañada Flintridge, Lynwood, and Port Hueneme. CPA is a public agency which serves cities located within Los Angeles and Ventura counties and was formed in August 2017 for the purpose of implementing community choice aggregation (“CCA”).

Implementation Plan. In anticipation of its CCA implementation and in compliance with state law,2 CPA submitted its Implementation Plan to the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC” or “Commission”) on August 15, 2017 (see Appendix D). When initially formed, the Member Agencies of CPA included two (2) municipalities, Rolling Hills Estates and City of South Pasadena, located within the County of Los Angeles (“LA County”), as well as the unincorporated areas of LA County itself, which elected to allow CPA to provide electric generation service within their respective jurisdictions.

Addendum No. 1. At the end of 2017, twenty-one additional municipalities within Los Angeles and Ventura Counties joined CPA: the cities of Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Carson, Claremont, Culver City, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens, Hawthorne, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Ojai, Paramount, Santa Monica, Sierra Madre, Temple City, Thousand Oaks, West Hollywood, and the unincorporated areas of County of Ventura (“Ventura County”). CPA submitted Addendum No. 1 to its Implementation Plan (“Addendum No. 1”) to the CPUC on December 29, 2017 to reflect its expanded membership (see Appendix E). On March 9, 2018, the Energy Division certified that Addendum No. 1 contains the information required by the Public Utilities Code (PUC) Section 366.2 (c).

Addendum No. 2. Addendum No. 2 to the CPA Implementation Plan (“Addendum No. 2”) was submitted by CPA on March 1, 2018 and describes CPA’s expansion plans to include the cities of Camarillo, Moorpark, Oxnard, Redondo Beach, Simi Valley, Ventura, and Whittier (see Appendix F). On March 28, 2018, the Energy Division certified that Addendum No. 2 to CPA’s Implementation Plan contains the information required by PUC Section 366.2 (c).

Addendum No. 3. Addendum No. 3 to the CPA Implementation Plan (“Addendum No. 3”) was submitted by CPA on December 14, 2018 and describes CPA’s expansion plans to include the city of Westlake Village (see Appendix G). On March 18, 2019, the Energy Division certified that Addendum No. 3 to CPA’s Implementation Plan contains the information required by PUC Section 366.2 (c).
1 CPA was formerly named Los Angeles Community Choice Energy (LACCE). CPA changed its name from LACCE to CPA by an amendment to its Joint Powers Agreement, dated April 5, 2018 (JPA), which was subsequently filed with the California Secretary of State’s Office on April 18, 2018. 2 See Public Utilities Code Section 366.2 (c).

CHAPTER 1 – Introduction

Agenda Page 90
CPA Implementation Plan Addendum No. 5
2 Addendum No. 4. Addendum No. 4 to the CPA Implementation Plan (“Addendum No. 4”) was submitted to the CPUC on December 14, 2022 and describes CPA’s expansion plans to include the cities of Hermosa Beach, Monrovia, and Santa Paula (see Appendix H). On March 8, 2022, the Energy Division certified that Addendum No. 4 to CPA’s Implementation Plan contains the information required by PUC Section 366.2 (c).

Addendum No. 5. This Addendum No. 5 to the CPA Implementation Plan (“Addendum No. 5”) describes CPA’s expansion plans to include the cities of La Cañada Flintridge, Lynwood, and Port Hueneme. According to the Commission, the Energy Division is required to certify that revisions to CPA’s Implementation Plan reflect changes/consequences of additional members and thereby contains the information required by PUC Section 366.2 (c).3 With this in mind, CPA has reviewed its Implementation Plan, which was filed with the Commission on August 15, 2017, and the subsequent Addendum No. 1, Addendum No. 2, Addendum No. 3, and Addendum No. 4, and has identified certain information that requires updating to reflect the changes and consequences of adding the new municipalities as well as the most recent historical electricity use and forecasts within CPA’s territory.

This Addendum No. 5 reflects pertinent changes related to the new member additions as well as projections that account for CPA’s planned expansion. This document format, including references to CPA’s Implementation Plan, which is incorporated by reference and attached hereto as Appendix D, addresses all requirements identified in PUC Section 366.2(c)(3), including universal access, reliability, equitable treatment of all customer classes and any requirements established by state law or by the CPUC concerning aggregated services, while streamlining public review of pertinent changes related to CPA expansion.

Agenda Page 92
CPA Implementation Plan Addendum No. 5
4 Throughout this document, use of the terms Members and Member Agencies shall now include the aforementioned communities. To the extent that the discussion addresses the process of aggregation and CPA organization, each of these communities is now a CPA Member and its electric customers will be offered CCA service consistent with the noted phase-in schedule.

Process of Aggregation
CPA’s aggregation process is discussed in Chapter 2 of CPA’s August 15, 2017 Implementation Plan and revised in Addendum Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4. In this Addendum No. 5, the following paragraph is added as the last paragraph in the “Process of Aggregation” section of Chapter 2 of the Implementation Plan as revised in Addendum Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4. “CPA is expanding its membership to include the cities of La Cañada Flintridge, Lynwood, and Port Hueneme. Each of these cities has requested CPA membership, and CPA’s Board of Directors subsequently approved each membership at a duly noticed public hearing on December 7, 2023.” Organizational Structure
Organizational structure was discussed in Chapter 3 of CPA’s August 15, 2017 Implementation Plan. The third paragraph of Chapter 3 is replaced in its entirety with the following verbiage:
“CPA will be governed by the CPA’s Board, which shall include one appointed designee from each of the Members. The CPA will be a joint powers agency formed under California law and was created on June 27, 2017. The CPA Members include twenty-nine (29) municipalities located within LA County (inclusive of La Cañada Flintridge and Lynwood) as well as the unincorporated areas of LA County, and ten (10) municipalities located within Ventura County (inclusive of Port Hueneme) as well as the unincorporated areas of Ventura County, all of which have elected to allow the CPA to provide electric generation service within their respective jurisdictions. The CPA’s Board will be comprised of representatives appointed by each of the Members in accordance with the Joint Powers Agreement. The CPA Program will be operated under the direction of a Chief Executive Officer4 appointed by the Board, with legal and regulatory support provided by a Board appointed General Counsel.”
Program Phase-In
Program phase-in was discussed in Chapter 5 of CPA’s August 15, 2017 Implementation Plan.

Chapter 5 is replaced in its entirety with the following verbiage:
“The CPA will roll out its service offering to customers over the course of the following phases:
4 The Board formally changed the Executive Director’s title from “Executive Director” to “Chief Executive Officer” on November 3, 2022. Any reference to "Executive Director” should now be changed to “Chief Executive Officer.”

This approach provides CPA with the ability to initiate its program in phases building to full program integration for an expected customer base of approximately 1,087,000 accounts, post customer opt-out. CPA will offer service to all customers on a phased basis per the schedule above.

Phase 1. Phase 1 of the Program was initiated on February 1, 2018 and at that time served approximately 1,950 accounts, comprised of all LA County municipal accounts.

Phase 2. Phase 2 of the Program commenced following successful operation of the CPA Program over an approximate five-month term, which corresponded to a Phase 2 service commencement date in June 2018. Approximately 29,000 additional customers, comprised of municipal,

Agenda Page 94

6 commercial, and industrial customers in LA County (unincorporated), Rolling Hills Estates, and South Pasadena were included in Phase 2.

Phase 3. Following the successful completion of Phase 1 and Phase 2 customer enrollments, CPA launched service to all residential customers in Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Camarillo, Carson, Claremont, Culver City, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens, Hawthorne, Los Angeles County (unincorporated), Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Moorpark, Ojai, Oxnard, Paramount, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills Estates, Santa Monica, Sierra Madre, Simi Valley, South Pasadena, Temple City, Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Ventura County (unincorporated), West Hollywood, and Whittier. Phase 3 totaled approximately 837,000 accounts and commenced in February 2019.

Phase 4. Phase 4 of the program included municipal, commercial and industrial customers in Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Camarillo, Carson, Claremont, Culver City, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens, Hawthorne, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Moorpark, Ojai, Oxnard, Paramount, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Sierra Madre, Simi Valley, Temple City, Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Ventura County (unincorporated), West Hollywood, and Whittier. Phase 4 totaled approximately 104,000 accounts and commenced in May 2019.

Phase 5. Phase 5 of the program included all customers in Westlake Village. Phase 5 totaled approximately 4,000 accounts.

Phase 6. Phase 6 of the program will include all customers in Hermosa Beach, Monrovia, and Santa Paula. Phase 6 is expected to total approximately 38,357 accounts.

Phase 7. Phase 7 of the program will include all customers in La Cañada Flintridge, Lynwood, and Port Hueneme. Phase 7 is expected to total approximately 33,067 accounts. To the extent that additional customers require enrollment after the completion of Phase 7, CPA will evaluate a subsequent phase of CCA enrollment.

CPA may also evaluate other phase‑in options based on current market conditions, statutory requirements, and regulatory considerations as well as other factors potentially affecting the integration of additional customer accounts.”
Sales and Customer Forecast
With regard to CPA’s sales and customer forecast, which is addressed in Chapter 6, Load Forecast & Resource Plan, CPA assumes the total retail sales will increase to approximately 11,696 GWh in Phase 7. CPA expects net peak demand to increase by approximately 37 MW in 2025 and by another 153 MW in 2026 as a result of the addition of the three new Member Agencies.

The following tables have been updated to reflect the impacts of the planned expansion to CPA’s new membership.

Rate offerings were discussed in Chapters 2, 6, 7 and 8 of the Implementation Plan. In these chapters, the Implementation Plan refers to a 50 percent renewable energy supply option and a 100 percent renewable supply option. This Addendum No. 5 updates such options to include a 40 percent clean energy supply option and a 50 percent renewable energy supply option. As such, the Implementation Plan should read that CPA currently offers its customers three rate options:
(i) 40 percent clean, (ii) 50 percent renewable, and (iii) 100 percent renewable energy supply options. Note that rate options are subject to change as determined by CPA’s Board.

13, 2018, the Board adopted Implementation Plan Addendum No. 3, adding one additional city. On December 1, 2022, the Board adopted Implementation Plan Addendum No. 4, adding three additional cities, bringing the total membership of CPA to its current 35 jurisdictions.

The Board voted on October 5, 2023, to invite La Cañada Flintridge, Lynwood, and Port Hueneme to join CPA. Port Hueneme adopted its ordinance to join CPA on November 20, 2023, and La Cañada Flintridge adopted its ordinance to join CPA on November 21, 2023. Pursuant to CPUC regulations, a resolution approving Addendum No. 5 must be adopted by the Board and filed with the CPUC by December 31, 2023 in order for CPA to begin serving load to customers in these cities in 2025. The two cities collectively will add approximately 16,300 customers and increase total load (kWh) by approximately

2.5%.

Upon Board approval of Resolution 23-012-059-B, the new member agencies will sign CPA’s Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) in December 2023 and their signature pages will be added to the appendices of Addendum No. 5 prior to its submission to the CPUC.

CPA Implementation Plan Addendum No. 5
1 The purpose of this document is to make certain revisions to the Clean Power Alliance of Southern California1 (“CPA”) Community Choice Aggregation Implementation Plan and Statement of Intent (“Implementation Plan”) to address the expansion of CPA to include the cities of La Cañada Flintridge and Port Hueneme. CPA is a public agency which serves cities located within Los Angeles and Ventura counties and was formed in August 2017 for the purpose of implementing community choice aggregation (“CCA”).

CHAPTER 1 – Introduction

Agenda Page 109
CPA Implementation Plan Addendum No. 5
2 Addendum No. 4. Addendum No. 4 to the CPA Implementation Plan (“Addendum No. 4”) was submitted to the CPUC on December 14, 2022 and describes CPA’s expansion plans to include the cities of Hermosa Beach, Monrovia, and Santa Paula (see Appendix H). On March 8, 2022, the Energy Division certified that Addendum No. 4 to CPA’s Implementation Plan contains the information required by PUC Section 366.2 (c).

Addendum No. 5. This Addendum No. 5 to the CPA Implementation Plan (“Addendum No. 5”) describes CPA’s expansion plans to include the cities of La Cañada Flintridge and Port Hueneme.

According to the Commission, the Energy Division is required to certify that revisions to CPA’s Implementation Plan reflect changes/consequences of additional members and thereby contains the information required by PUC Section 366.2 (c).3 With this in mind, CPA has reviewed its Implementation Plan, which was filed with the Commission on August 15, 2017, and the subsequent Addendum No. 1, Addendum No. 2, Addendum No. 3, and Addendum No. 4, and has identified certain information that requires updating to reflect the changes and consequences of adding the new municipalities as well as the most recent historical electricity use and forecasts within CPA’s territory.

Agenda Page 110
CPA Implementation Plan Addendum No. 5
3 This Addendum No. 5 addresses the anticipated impacts of CPA’s planned expansion to the cities of La Cañada Flintridge and Port Hueneme, as well as other forecast modifications reflecting the most recent historical electric energy use within CPA’s service territory. As a result of these member additions, certain assumptions regarding CPA’s future operations have changed, including customer energy requirements and renewable energy purchases. The following sections highlight pertinent changes related to this planned expansion. To the extent that certain details related to membership expansion are not specifically discussed within this Addendum No. 5, CPA represents that such information remains substantially unchanged relative to its August 15, 2017 Implementation Plan, which incorporates its December 29, 2017 Addendum No. 1, March 1, 2018 Addendum No. 2, December 14, 2018 Addendum No. 3, and December 14, 2022 Addendum No. 4.

CHAPTER 2 – Changes to Address CPA Expansion to the Cities of La Cañada Flintridge and Port Hueneme

Agenda Page 111
CPA Implementation Plan Addendum No. 5
4 Throughout this document, use of the terms Members and Member Agencies shall now include the aforementioned communities. To the extent that the discussion addresses the process of aggregation and CPA organization, each of these communities is now a CPA Member and its electric customers will be offered CCA service consistent with the noted phase-in schedule.

Each of these cities has requested CPA membership, and CPA’s Board of Directors subsequently approved each membership at a duly noticed public hearing on December 7, 2023.” Organizational Structure
Organizational structure was discussed in Chapter 3 of CPA’s August 15, 2017 Implementation Plan. The third paragraph of Chapter 3 is replaced in its entirety with the following verbiage:
“CPA will be governed by the CPA’s Board, which shall include one appointed designee from each of the Members. The CPA will be a joint powers agency formed under California law and was created on June 27, 2017. The CPA Members include twenty-nine (29) municipalities located within LA County (inclusive of La Cañada Flintridge) as well as the unincorporated areas of LA County, and ten (10) municipalities located within Ventura County (inclusive of Port Hueneme) as well as the unincorporated areas of Ventura County, all of which have elected to allow the CPA to provide electric generation service within their respective jurisdictions. The CPA’s Board will be comprised of representatives appointed by each of the Members in accordance with the Joint Powers Agreement. The CPA Program will be operated under the direction of a Chief Executive Officer4 appointed by the Board, with legal and regulatory support provided by a Board appointed General Counsel.”
Program Phase-In
Program phase-in was discussed in Chapter 5 of CPA’s August 15, 2017 Implementation Plan.

This approach provides CPA with the ability to initiate its program in phases building to full program integration for an expected customer base of approximately 1,087,000 accounts, post customer opt-out. CPA will offer service to all customers on a phased basis per the schedule above.

Phase 1. Phase 1 of the Program was initiated on February 1, 2018 and at that time served approximately 1,950 accounts, comprised of all LA County municipal accounts.

Agenda Page 113
CPA Implementation Plan Addendum No. 5
6 commercial, and industrial customers in LA County (unincorporated), Rolling Hills Estates, and South Pasadena were included in Phase 2.

Phase 5. Phase 5 of the program included all customers in Westlake Village. Phase 5 totaled approximately 4,000 accounts.

Phase 6. Phase 6 of the program will include all customers in Hermosa Beach, Monrovia, and Santa Paula. Phase 6 is expected to total approximately 38,357 accounts.

Phase 7. Phase 7 of the program will include all customers in La Cañada Flintridge and Port Hueneme. Phase 7 is expected to total approximately 16,317 accounts. To the extent that additional customers require enrollment after the completion of Phase 7, CPA will evaluate a subsequent phase of CCA enrollment.

CPA may also evaluate other phase‑in options based on current market conditions, statutory requirements, and regulatory considerations as well as other factors potentially affecting the integration of additional customer accounts.”
Sales and Customer Forecast
With regard to CPA’s sales and customer forecast, which is addressed in Chapter 6, Load Forecast & Resource Plan, CPA assumes the total retail sales will increase to approximately 11,655 GWh in Phase 7. CPA expects net peak demand to increase by approximately 37 MW in 2025 and by another 107 MW in 2026 as a result of the addition of the two new Member Agencies.

The following tables have been updated to reflect the impacts of the planned expansion to CPA’s new membership.

11 Rate Policies
Rate offerings were discussed in Chapters 2, 6, 7 and 8 of the Implementation Plan. In these chapters, the Implementation Plan refers to a 50 percent renewable energy supply option and a 100 percent renewable supply option. This Addendum No. 5 updates such options to include a 40 percent clean energy supply option and a 50 percent renewable energy supply option. As such, the Implementation Plan should read that CPA currently offers its customers three rate options:
(i) 40 percent clean, (ii) 50 percent renewable, and (iii) 100 percent renewable energy supply options. Note that rate options are subject to change as determined by CPA’s Board.

To: Board of Directors
From: Gina Goodhill, Senior Director, Government Affairs Approved By: Ted Bardacke, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Proposed 2024 Legislative and Regulatory Policy Platform Date: December 7, 2023

RECOMMENDATION
Approve proposed 2024 Legislative and Regulatory Policy Platform as recommended by the Legislative & Regulatory Committee.

BACKGROUND
In November 2018, CPA’s Board of Directors adopted a Legislative & Regulatory Policy Platform to serve as a framework for CPA’s advocacy and policy efforts. CPA staff have used the platform to pursue actions at the regulatory levels with the understanding that they are taking actions in the best interest of the organization, member agencies, and customers.

In February 2023, CPA’s Board of Directors adopted a revised Legislative & Regulatory Policy Platform and along with a new protocol to allow CPA to respond to legislation and policy matters more quickly and effectively. The protocol allows CPA staff to take bill positions on most bills using the Board approved Policy Platform as guidance, rather than seeking Board approval for each bill position. For bills that fall outside the scope of the platform, bills that are likely to attract high-profile supporters and detractors, bills that would raise taxes, or bills that would knowingly put CPA at odds with its member

Board of Directors Item 13
agencies, CPA presents a proposed position to the CPA Board of Directors and its Legislative & Regulatory Committee before taking a position.

In October 2023, staff presented a draft 2024 Policy Platform to the Legislative & Regulatory Committee and solicited feedback. Based on Committee feedback, staff made changes to the platform and presented it again at the November committee meeting. The Committee approved the platform and recommended adoption by the CPA Board of Directors.

DISCUSSION
This proposed platform includes new or expanded principles to address the following issues:

1. Transmission and distribution planning

2. Interconnection timelines

3. Regionalization of the Electricity Market and/or Grid

4. Building decarbonization

5. Fair rates for CCA customers

6. Treatment of CEQA Reforms

7. Governance as an element of local control and autonomy Transmission and Distribution Planning: The CAISO has estimated that California will need to build an estimated $30 billion in new transmission capacity by 2040 to achieve the state’s renewable and zero-carbon electricity goals. Permitting and construction of new transmission lines can often take 10 years or more. The proposed principle 2e would provide clear guidance to CPA staff when it engages in policy discussions geared at expediting transmission and distribution.

Interconnection Timelines: Delayed electricity connections are a growing problem for communities throughout California, with hundreds of projects ranging from service extensions for new affordable housing units to hookups for new electric vehicle charging stations suffering from an inability to connect to the electricity grid in a timely manner.

Agenda Page 122
Board of Directors Item 13
These delays threaten California’s ability to respond to the climate and housing crises; prevent Californians from accessing important critical services; and harms communities by increasing project costs and reducing job opportunities. The proposed principle 5e would provide clear guidance to CPA staff when it engages in policy discussions geared at reducing interconnection timelines.

Regionalization of the Electricity Market and/or Grid: A unified electricity market in the Western United States can be a crucial part of ensuring that California can meet its clean energy and affordability goals while also maintaining reliability. The proposed principle 2g would establish principles for staff to articulate when they engage in policy discussions geared at the creation of a regional energy market and/or grid. Due to the complexity of this issue, staff has included a presentation that more fully explains the issues around a regional energy market.

Building Decarbonization: Buildings are California’s second largest source of climate pollution, and CPA’s local reach code program is one effort to address that problem. The proposed revision to principle 3c would provide clear guidance to CPA staff when they engage on statewide building decarbonization standards, in addition to local codes.

Fair Rates for CCA Customers: Based on wide-sweeping legislation passed in 2022 (AB 205, which also authorized the operating extension for the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant), the CPUC is currently studying options for the implementation of a new income-graduated fixed charge, which would replace a portion of a customer’s volumetric charges that are assessed based on energy usage with a fixed charge that would vary by income levels. This income-based fixed charge would have a direct effect on all customers of Investor-Owned Utilities, including CPA customers; in broad terms, low-income customers would see their bills go down while higher income customers would see their bills go up, even if those customers used the same amount of energy.

CPA has not developed a position on the broad policy question at hand. CPA’s rates and competitiveness levels are unlikely to be impacted as long as the CPUC remains true to

Agenda Page 123
Board of Directors Item 13
the legislative intent that the restructuring takes place entirely within delivery rates rather than touching on generation rates.

Due to the administrative complexity, privacy concerns, and potential for gaming or errors within the income determination process for the fixed charges, in addition to the overall policy question, the implementation of rate restructuring could become a legislative matter in addition to the ongoing proceeding at the CPUC. The proposed revision to principle 1a would more clearly allow CPA to engage in discussions at the CPUC and with legislators and the administration on this topic to ensure that CCA customers are treated equally compared to non-CCA customers as the implementation process moves forward.

Governance: CPA’s current policies allow non-elected Board Alternates to attend Closed Sessions if the Regular Board Director is unable to attend. Authorization for that policy was provided for in SB 355 (2019, Portantino) with a sunset date of January 1, 2025 and would need to be extended by new legislation if CPA is to continue this practice. New language was added in 1d to highlight the continued importance of preserving CPA’s autonomy over its governance structure. This will allow CPA staff to pursue legislation to extend or eliminate this sunset date and maintain current policy.

CEQA: Explicit language was added to clarify that any positions on bills seeking to modify CEQA would require Board approval.

Proposed
2024 Legislative and Regulatory Policy Platform
Overview and Purpose
The Clean Power Alliance (CPA) Legislative and Regulatory Policy Platform (Platform) serves as a guide to the CPA Board of Directors and CPA staff in their advocacy efforts and engagement on policy matters of interest to CPA. The Platform allows both members of the CPA Board of Directors and CPA staff to pursue actions at the regional, state and federal legislative and regulatory levels in a consistent manner and with the understanding that they are pursuing actions in the best interest of the organization and its mission, its member agencies, and its customers.

The Platform provides direction to CPA staff on positions that should be taken on regulatory matters and legislative bill proposals. The Platform also provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer on positions that should be taken on legislative and regulatory matters that come before the California Community Choice Association (CalCCA) Board of Directors.

CPA staff report to the Board monthly on all positions taken on legislative bills. For bills that fall outside the scope of this platform; bills that are likely to attract high-profile supporters and detractors, including bills that would modify the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); bills that would raise taxes; or bills that would knowingly put CPA at odds with positions that its member agencies have taken, CPA staff will seek approval of a proposed position to the Legislative & Regulatory Committee and Board of Directors before taking a position.

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

1. Protecting CPA’s local control and competitive position, especially as it relates to rates, finances, power procurement and expansion of its service territory.

2. Pursing power resource planning and procurement that promotes the growth in renewable energy capacity at the local level and reduce fossil fuel dependency, with the goal of combating climate change.

3. Developing and administering customer programs that encourage clean energy adoption by CPA customers.

4. Ensuring fair access to data, particularly as it relates to energy usage, billing, and information needed to develop and administer customer programs.

5. Supporting CPA’s ability to set electric rates and offer programmatic services that are affordable and inclusive for all.

These principles are incorporated throughout the below platform.

Regionalization of the
Electricity Market and Grid
December 7, 2023
Agenda Page 129
Summary
California regulators are currently exploring ways in which the state’s grid operator (CAISO) could expand its operation to include other states in the West – “Regionalization” is the shorthand term for this effort
The main goals of Regionalization are to reduce costs, enhance reliability, and make it easier to access and share diverse generation resources across the West If and how Regionalization is implemented could have a significant impact on CPA’s future procurement strategies and customer rates as well as California’s energy system in general CPA’s Proposed 2024 Policy Platform includes a support position for a regional market or grid, if certain principles are upheld
Staff is seeking approval from the Board on this position, along with six other changes to the proposed 2024 Policy Platform detailed in the staff report Agenda Page 130
The U.S. Power Grid and CA
3 The U.S. power grid consists of
the bulk power system, high-voltage transmission equipment, and the lower-voltage distribution
system.

It is broken into 3 independent
grids.
• The Western Interconnect, which
includes 38 separate balancing
authorities, including CAISO.
• The Eastern Interconnect, which
includes 36 balancing authorities
• The Electric Reliability Council of
Texas (ERCOT)
The Western Interconnect is
overseen by the Western Electric
Coordinating Council (WECC)

Electric System Operations
Balancing Authorities in the Western United States
4 The actual operations of the electric
system are managed by Balancing
Authorities (BA), which manage the
supply and demand of energy across
their territory, and transfers of
electricity with other BAs.

There are 38 BAs within the WECC,
representing about 20% of all
generation capacity in the U.S. and
Canada.

BAs are regulated by both the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) and the North American
Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).

Agenda Page 132
CAISO Today
5 Overview: The CAISO is both a BA and Regional Transmission Operator (RTO) that manages the flow of electricity across the high-voltage bulk power system that makes up 80% of CA’s and a small part of Nevada’s electric grid. It also oversees electricity system reliability through regulations set and administered by the CPUC.

Governance: CAISO is regulated by both the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). • The CAISO’s 5 –person governing board is unique in that its members are appointed by the California Governor and confirmed by the state Senate • Other RTOs seat members through a vote of the current RTO members or through a similar stakeholder process.

Interstate Markets: CAISO operates 2 markets that involve multiple states and participants:
• WEIM: The Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM), a real-time bulk power trading market that involves 19 voluntary participants (and more coming) across 10 western states
• EDAM: Building on the success of WEIM, the extended day-ahead market (EDAM) is a voluntary day-ahead electricity market that CAISO will launch in 2026 Both market programs are designed to deliver economic, environmental and reliability benefits to participants by increasing regional coordination Agenda Page 133
The Need to Revisit Regionalization
6 California has set ambitious climate goals to
reach 100% clean energy by 2045. CPUC’s
integrated resource planning analysis shows
that the grid will need an additional 86 GWs of
generation more than double what is currently
on the grid.

California needs to import electricity to meet its
Resource Adequacy requirements, and to meet
the demand of extreme summer heat events.

California may be unable to build the new
resources it needs fast enough inside CA to
meet both reliability needs and climate goals if
the supply of imports begins to decline or is
unavailable.

Former Governor Jerry Brown pursued
Regionalization in the 2010s but the effort was
unsuccessful
Agenda Page 134
The Need to Revisit Regionalization, continued
7 An existing RTO, the Southwest Power Pool (SPP), is asking Western States to join their new market, called Markets+, similar to CAISO’s WEIM and EDAM. Unlike WEIM and EDAM, Markets+ will be operated by a governance board that is not appointed by a specific state or participant.

Some WEIM participants have already made commitments to leave WEIM for Markets+, jeopardizing resources available to California.

The rest of the West is moving forward on regional coordination in some form, and California’s failure to act could lead to isolation and an inability to access the benefits of that coordination.

Agenda Page 135
Benefits and Risks
Affordability: Regional energy markets may lower the cost of energy to all participants through more efficient dispatch of resources and supporting cost-effective regional transmission solutions. The WEIM has already proven itself by lowering costs by over $1 billion since its inception.

Reliability: Regional coordination of Resource Adequacy may increase the availability of resources to support subregions during times of system stress.

Decarbonization: A regional grid could make it easier to match variable demand and renewable generation across the region and to optimize renewable resources, such as preventing curtailment of excess solar resources in California.

Job Creation: A regional grid may result in more projects being built outside of California, and California LSEs may purchase more of those resources. The massive need for new resources could diffuse these risks.

Governance: California could lose some policy control to other states. A regional grid must either be restricted in its policy making abilities or have clear guidance within its charter that direct it to uphold the individual policies of its members.

Isolation: The state currently relies on imports for ~30% of generation. If California does not foster some deeper type of regional market, it could lose ready and easy access to almost one-third of its power supply to other states by the end of the decade 8 Agenda Page 136
Potential Risks to CA Energy Policy
Regionalization may expose California to additional legal challenges to its clean energy laws. However, a federal challenge likely poses little risk as CAISO is already a FERC-jurisdictional entity and California has thus far managed to maintain its clear energy goals and programs even under a non-supportive previous Administration Federal courts have generally upheld state clean energy policies that restrict the type of electricity generation and generation locations used to serve a state's needs (whether participating in an RTO or not). These restrictions are generally found to be within the rights of the state to protect the health, comfort, and safety of its residents.

Many other states considering joining with California in a Regionalization effort have adopted their own ambitious clean energy policies, some which are even more ambitious than California’s policies (see Slide 10), which mitigates the risks of a regional organization placing California goals in jeopardy. 9 Agenda Page 137

West-Wide Governance Pathways Initiative
Goal of WWGPI: Develop and form a new and independent entity and enable a path forward for a potential West-wide fully organized market Multistate Collaboration: After a failed legislative initiative, WWGPI was initiated through a letter from multiple individual state commissioners to the leadership of Western Interstate Energy Board and Committee on Regional Electric Power Collaboration (CREPC)
CREPC is composed of an energy office official and a regulatory utility commissioner from each of the Western states and Canadian provinces CalCCA is co-chair of the “Priority Functions and Scope” Committee Phased Initiative to Identify Priorities: Two main phases have been presented to stakeholders, including California IOUs, CCAs, labor, environmental groups Phase 1: Finalize governance options to be evaluated by stakeholders (Early 2024) Phase 2: Establish an independent non-profit entity with a foundational board, seated by a nominating committee formed by stakeholders (exact timeline TBD in 2024), which could require legislation

Action Requested and Next Steps
The Legislative and Regulatory Committee and staff recommend that the Board approve the following Regionalization principles as part of the 2024 Policy Platform.
“CPA will pursue administrative and legislative initiatives that support the expansion of a regional grid that improves reliability; accelerates decarbonization; improves transmission planning; reduces costs for ratepayer and load serving entities; maintains California’s ability to set, meet and implement its own climate goals; and protects clean energy jobs within the State” If approved, CPA will engage in the WWPGI process along with CalCCA to promote these principles as well as educate legislators and stakeholders of our support for a regional grid if these principles are upheld.

The WWPGI process may include a California legislative effort as early as 2024 to alter CAISO’s governance structure, or to create of a new multistate entity, or both. CPA staff will keep the Board and Committees apprised of these developments, which may require CPA Board action on specific legislation if it is proposed.

Board Demographic Survey
CPA is required to submit an annual report to the California Public Utilities Commission regarding its efforts to contract with diverse suppliers and other diversity initiatives. As part of this submission, CPA reports on the demographics of its Board of Directors. In order to collect the data necessary for this submission, during the month of December Regular Board Directors will receive a survey requesting that they self-identify in racial, ethnic, gender, and other categories. Providing a response to this survey is encouraged but optional; all data will be aggregated and individual replies will remain anonymous.

Monthly Financial Performance
In September 2023 CPA recorded an operating loss of $13.8 million, $6.5 million greater than the budgeted loss of $7.3 million. As was the case throughout the first quarter of CPA’s fiscal year, low summertime temperatures depressed revenue while low CAISO market prices made CPA’s energy hedges less valuable. The monthly financial dashboard is included with the full FYQ1 results presented in Item 6 of the Board packet.

With an operating gain of $7.5 million for the first quarter despite revenue being 6% below budget, CPA remains on track to have a positive financial outcome for the fiscal year.

Customer Participation Rate and Opt Actions
As of November 28, 2023, CPA’s overall participation rate was 93%, unchanged from the previous month. CPA had 1,006,290 active customers, down 192 customers since September. Opt-out levels for the month – 220 accounts through the fourth week of November – were less than half the opt-out levels in both October and compared to typical monthly opt-out levels during the fourth quarter of the year. New accounts (“move-ins”) were higher than closed accounts (“move-outs”) by 940 customers in November.

Participation rates and active accounts by jurisdiction are provided in Attachment 1 of this report.

Customer Service Center Performance
Incoming calls to CPA’s Customer Service Center during November were down significantly compared to the previous month and less than typical months in the fourth quarter of the year. Through November 28, CPA received 1,216 calls compared to 2,388 calls in October. 97% of calls were answered within 45 seconds, up from 95% in the
