REGULAR AGENDA
3. (a) Approve the 2023 Clean Energy RFO Shortlist and Waitlist as Recommended by the RFO Review Team; and (b) Authorize Staff to Enter Bilateral Discussions with Shortlisted Project G as Recommended by the RFO Review Team
Lindsay Saxby, Vice President, Power Supply, provided a presentation on the 2023 Clean Energy and Reliability Request for Offers (RFO) shortlist and waitlist. CPA solicited offers for Resource Adequacy (RA)-only, natural gas tolling agreements (tolls), fast track offers, flexible contract durations, and package deals. Staff chose to fast-track two offers out of the 14 requested projects. Ms. Saxby discussed the criteria for shortlisting, noting that historically, more projects need to be shortlisted than the target as some projects may fall out of the negotiation process. The Review Team recommends shortlisting the one RA-only offer received for an existing thermal facility, and discussing with the bidder the possibility of a contract that includes a 30% or greater Hydrogen Blend, while ensuring price competitiveness and environmental advantages. Ms. Saxby provided details for shortlist recommended projects A through J and waitlist recommended projects A through Q.
In response to Committee Member Kulcsar’s question about water usage in Green Hydrogen production, Ms. Saxby clarified that water usage would be part of staff’s analysis of the environmental impact of the offer. Committee Member Cox inquired about wind projects, and staff confirmed that Projects A and H fall under this category. In response to Chair Parkhurst’s question about the development scores of Projects B and C, Ms. Saxby explained that these projects are higher risk because the developer is a recent entrant into the renewable energy development sector. Committee Members Mahmud and Lesser acknowledged that staff had implemented the Review Team’s suggestions and expressed their support for the recommended projects. Committee Member Mallory asked about the distinctions between medium and high-tier projects under the Disadvantaged Community (DAC) criteria. Ted Bardacke, CEO, clarified that a medium-tier storage project is located in a DAC and contributes to economic development, while a high-tier project, also situated in a DAC, provides additional local community benefits.
A written public comment was received for this item.
Motion: Committee Member Mahmud, South Pasadena
Second: Committee Member Lesser, Manhattan Beach
Vote: Item 3 was approved by a roll call vote.
4. Approve the 2023 Power Ready RFO Shortlist Consisting of a Primary Offer and Backup Offer as Recommended by the RFO Review Team
Energy Planning & Resources Committee Item 1
Ms. Saxby provided a presentation on the 2023 Power Ready RFO shortlist. Power Ready allows CPA member agencies to host a behind-the-meter battery energy storage (BESS) and solar photovoltaic system (PV). CPA solicited proposals from installation companies for services contracted through a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Ms. Saxby reviewed the proposal details and evaluation summaries of Developers A, B, and C. The Review Team determined that various project areas require further assessment, which will be addressed during negotiations with the primary developer and will consider transitioning to the backup offer if these concerns are not satisfactorily resolved.
In response to Committee Member Cox’s question about incentives, Matt Langer, Chief Operating Officer, clarified that CPA would need to own the project to take advantage of direct pay incentives, but tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) may apply.
Committee Member Mahmud referenced questions raised by the Review Team concerning developers and asked if staff had discussed the issues. Mr. Bardacke indicated that staff would address the four main concerns during developer negotiations.
If it is determined that the offers fall outside of the parameters set in the (RFO), they will be brought back to the Energy Committee.
Motion: Committee Member Mahmud, South Pasadena
Second: Committee Member Maloney, Alhambra
Vote: Item 4 was approved by a roll call vote.
COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS
Committee Member Lesser congratulated staff for receiving the investment grade credit rating of “A-“. In response to Chair Parkhurst’s question about how CPA’s rating compares to other Community Choice Aggregations (CCAs), staff stated that most CCAs have an “A-” rating, with a few above or below.

Policy Deviation Required Action
In December 2023, the second quarter
(April to June) Energy Hedge Position
increased above the maximum second
quarter hedge limit starting in 2027 and
continuing in the second quarter of each
year through the end of the measurement
window in 2033.
None. The policy deviations arise from
CPA continuing to enter into long term
contracts for renewable energy consistent
with its objective to reduce exposure to the
short-term renewable energy market. The
deviations occur during the second quarter
because electricity consumption by CPA
customers is projected to be at its lowest
level in this quarter. The deviations are
expected to resolve themselves as the
electricity production period nears and the
corresponding policy hedge limit
Energy Planning & Resources Committee Item 2
maximums increase above the level of
energy hedges under contract.
During the 2024 ERMP review, staff will
consider proposing an amendment to the
ERMP increasing the maximum hedge
limit in the second quarter of years that are
four and more years in the future to
eliminate policy deviations caused by load
and generation patterns specific to the
second quarter.

2
CPA launched the 2023 Clean Energy and Reliability Request for Offer (RFO) in June 2023 to fill a larger portion of its portfolio needs with long-term contracts, reducing the need to procure products such as Resource Adequacy (RA) and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) in short-term markets, which are often volatile CPA set a procurement target of 1,300,000 MWh of energy and 400 MW of Resource Adequacy (RA) for the RFO which is approximately one-quarter of what CPA anticipates needing to procure through long-term contracts each year for the next four years in order to adequately reduce short-term market risk o To reach the procurement target and account for projects that fail to reach an agreement or achieve COD, a shortlist target of 3,250,000 MWh of energy and 1200 MW of RA was established On September 23, 2023, the Energy Committee approved the RFO shortlist and waitlist. Staff then entered into exclusivity for various shortlisted projects and some waitlisted projects before commencing negotiations Staff expects to bring up to 2 Energy Storage Agreements to the Board for approval in February Staff also expects to bring the Power Ready Power Purchase Agreement to the Board for approval in February 3 Executive Summary

Projects Awaiting Deliverability
In order to provide RA, a project must receive Full Capacity Deliverability Status (FCDS) from CAISO
In the current RFO, CPA shortlisted a number of projects that have not yet received FCDS
• All of the projects that are still pursuing FCDS expect to find out their status from CAISO in May Projects without FCDS are at greater risk of failure, yet it is still worthwhile to pursue contracts with them
• Once a project receives FCDS its value/desirability goes up and the seller may find another off-taker if we wait • A PPA with CPA help increases the chances that a project will be awarded FCDS In order to accommodate this CAISO timeline and deal with the possibility a project does not receive FCDS, CPA is negotiating certain terms into the proposed PPAs • These terms can include return of all or a portion of collateral plus termination if the projects does not receive FCDS This means some of the contracts that the Board considers in February could terminate as soon as May if the projects do not receive FCDS

Power Ready Overview
Power Ready is a resiliency program where CPA member agencies have the opportunity to host a behind-the-meter battery energy storage (BESS) and solar photovoltaic system (PV). 11 member agency sites are participating in this round of the program.
What is Power Ready?
16 How Does it Work?
During outages, such as Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), natural disasters, and other outages, the member agency will get the benefit of islanded backup power to meet critical loads for at least 4 hours.
Systems will provide benefits to CPA including demand response and load shifting from high Time of Use periods and Peak Demand Reduction.
Batteries can be discharged at peak times to provide more cost-effective electricity.
There will be no additional costs to member agencies. The services will be provided at a monthly cost equal or less than what they would have paid if they were not participating in the program and the developer will handle all maintenance.
