Adopt Hetch Hetchy Power Rates for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 Summary of
Proposed
Commission
Action:

Public Hearing to consider the adoption of rates of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Power Enterprise for Hetch Hetchy Power service to be effective with meter readings beginning on or after July 1, 2022 and July 1, 2023. This action constitutes the Approval Action for the project for the
purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 31.04(h) of the San Francisco Administrative Code. The Planning Department has determined that this action is exempt from the CEQA. If the item is approved, the Commission will rely on that determination to make its decision.

Background: 2022 Power Rates Study
As required by the San Francisco Charter Section 8B.125, the SFPUC has engaged an independent rate consultant, NewGen Strategies & Solutions, to perform a retail power rates study. The independent rate consultant was selected through a competitive bid process via request for proposal.

SFPUC staff have worked closely with the consultant to analyze the current revenues and revenue requirement of the Power Enterprise and determined that changes to Hetch Hetchy Power rates are necessary to cover the capital an d operating costs of the program , and to allocate costs equitably to customer classes . Detailed information on the revenue requirement, cost of service analysis, and rate design, can be found in the independent consultant report titled 2022 SFPUC Power Rat es Study,
which is attached to this agenda item.

The Study was a cross -agency effort led by the SFPUC’s Financial Planning Team. Customer Service and the Power Enterprise were all heavily involved in data collection and policy decisions. Communications and External Affairs also provided direction on communication strategies, outreach efforts to elected officials, city departments, the public, impacted customers, and other communities of interest.

Several internal working groups also provided guidance to SFPUC staff Public Hearing: Adopt Hetch Hetchy Power Rates for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 Commission Meeting Date: May 24, 2022

and NewGen. SFPUC staff and NewGen met with SFPUC leadership regularly beginning in September 2020 while developing Hetch Hetchy Power rates.

SFPUC Financial Policies
The SFPUC has several key financial policies that promote the agency’s financial sustainability and prudent stewardship of resources. The primary purpose of these policies is to ensure each enterprise retains sufficient funds for future infrastructure needs, replacement of aging facilities, bond reserves, and various operating expenses in a manner that mitigates unexpected rate changes. The proposed rates comply with these financial policies, which include:
• Debt Service Coverage Policy: requires each SFPUC enterprise to adopt budgets, rates, and financial plans that generate net revenues such that Indenture Coverage shall equal a minimum of 1.35x annual debt service and Current Coverage shall equal a minimum of 1.10x annual debt service.
• Capital Financing Policy: requires tha t a minimum ranging between 15 percent and 30 percent of each enterprise’s capital budget be revenue-funded (or “pay- as-you-go” funded) over the 10 -year planning period.
• Fund Balance Reserve Policy: requires that Hetch Hetchy Power’s Fund Balance Reserve maintain a minimum amount of 90 days or 25 percent of annual Operations and Maintenance Expenses (including programmatic projects, excluding debt service and revenue -funded capital) over the 10-year planning period.
• Ratepayer Assurance Policy: reinforces SF PUC’s commitment to developing rates and charges that are affordable, predictable, easy to understand, based on cost of service, and that generate sufficient revenue for full cost recovery.

Hetch Hetchy Power Revenue Requirement
The revenue requirement is the first step of a rates study and determines the total amount of revenue needed to support the operations and maintenance, capital improvements, and to meet financial policy targets for the utility. The Hetch Hetchy Power revenue requirement for the Test Year is estimated to be approximately $171.7 million. The “Test Year” represents the average of the two -year period from FY 2022- 23 to FY
2023-24 for the purposes of the Power Rates Study. Costs include operations and maintenance (O&M), power purchases, t ransmission and distribution, debt service, and rate -funded capital improvements. This value reflects offsets to Hetch Hetchy Power net retail costs from wholesale sales, recovery of programmatic costs, and other revenue Public Hearing: Adopt Hetch Hetchy Power Rates for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 Commission Meeting Date: May 24, 2022

sources. Additionally, this value i ncludes contributions to reserves from retail rates of approximately $5 million per year.

Hetch Hetchy Customer Summary
The rates study gathers comprehensive data on Hetch Hetchy customers and their usage of power. This information is then used to allocate costs to customer classes and develop equitable rates. Hetch Hetchy customers are primarily municipal departments, but in recent years they have expanded to include non-municipal retail customers, many in redevelopment areas.

Below is the distribution of Hetch Hetchy Power customers and their corresponding energy usage for the major customer classes . While residential customers make up the majority of the customer accounts , they are a small percentage of the total energy usage.

Customer Class No. of Customers Annual Energy
Usage (MWh)
Residential 4,196 27,833
Small Commercial 2,134 62,529
Medium Commercial 328 145,638
Large Commercial 43 105,972
Industrial 47 663,309

Cost of Service Analysis
The Study utilized industry accepted methodology to assign utility costs to the various functions, or business units, of the organization. These functionalized costs were classified based on their underlying cost causation and were allocated to the various customer classes served by the utili
ty. Allocating costs to Hetch Hetchy Power customer classes is achieved through three major processes: 1) functionalization, 2) classification, and 3) allocation.

First, all expenditures in the revenue requirement are functionalized to supply (generation a nd purchase of power), transmission (high voltage movement of power into the Bay Area), distribution (transformation and low voltage distribution of power to customers), and customer costs (accounting and customer programs).

Functional groupings are further sub-functionalized to assist with the next classification step. For example, Hetch Hetchy Power supply costs are sub-functionalized into hydroelectric generation, system dispatching, purchased power - demand, and purchased power - energy. Functionalized Public Hearing: Adopt Hetch Hetchy Power Rates for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 Commission Meeting Date: May 24, 2022

costs are then classified based on the major drivers of these costs. Energy - related costs increase as customers use more energy. Demand-related costs are allocated based on peak usage of the system. Customer -related costs are relatively similar for each customer, no matter how they use energy.

After costs were functionalized and classified, they were then allocated to Hetch Hetchy Power customer classes based on the energy usage patterns of each class. At the end of this cost allocation process, for the Test Year (FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24), the majority of the Hetch Hetchy Power $171.7 million revenue requirement costs were assigned to the industrial class, which includes S an Francisco International Airport (approximately 53%), and the remainder were assigned to the residential and commercial classes.

Rate Design
The Hetch Hetchy Power rate design analysis determines how the costs are recovered from each customer through specified electric rates. The focus of this process is to achieve full cost recovery and substantiate that customers are paying their fair and proportionate share of system costs.

Current Rate Structure
Historically, Hetch Hetchy Power provided service only to municipal load as a department of the City. During that time, there was no charge for service, as the operational costs we re paid by the City and the power supply was limited to the output from the City -owned hydro resources.

Over time, as Hetch Hetchy Power’s infrastructure aged and major capital repairs became necessary, Hetch Hetchy Power began to gradually introduce charg es for its services to municipal departments. Enterprise Municipal rates and Retail (Non -Municipal) rates were also implemented in addition to General Use Municipal Rates. Today, Hetch Hetchy Power’s current rates do not follow a standard, modern customer class structure. The three main “rate classes”— Enterprise, General Use, and retail—differ widely in both their level and structure, and the rate a customer pays is largely a function of history.

General Use Municipal Rates (“General Use”)
Some municipal c ustomers, primarily departments supported by the General Fund, are charged “General Use” municipal rates. General Use rates have steadily increased throughout the last 30 years but are still significantly lower than either Enterprise municipal rates or the cost of service. There is one General Use municipal rate that is a flat $ per kWh charge. It does not vary based on the season or customer class, or have demand or fixed service charges.

Public Hearing: Adopt Hetch Hetchy Power Rates for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 Commission Meeting Date: May 24, 2022

Enterprise Municipal Rates (“Enterprise”)
The current framework for other municipal power rates, or “Enterprise Municipal Rates,” was established in November 1989. Resolution 89-0355 established electric rates and charges to cover Power Enterprise expenses for operations, maintenance and capital investment. For certain pri vate entities and some municipal and public agencies, this action set electric rates based on rate schedules adopted by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), as authorized in a rate- setting process regulated by the State of California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), with regular adjustments mirroring those authorized by the CPUC. These are herein referred to as “Enterprise” rates. These customers include San Francisco International Airport (SFO), the Water and Wastewater Enterprises, and the Port of Sa n Francisco.

Retail Non-Municipal Rates (“Retail”)
Resolution 11-0021 established the first retail Hetch Hetchy Power rates, effective July 2012, in anticipation of new non- municipal (retail) customers. Due to limited cost data for these new customers, as well a policy goal to remain competitive with PG&E, Hetch Hetchy Power’s retail power rates were set to 10% below the equivalent PG&E tariff schedules, with automatic annual adjustments. Retail Non-Municipal Rates are now Hetch Hetchy’s “standard” rat es, and include residential, commercial, and industrial customers . All new customers that are neither an Enterprise or a General Fund department , following the passing of this Resolution, will be placed on a retail rate, as the SFPUC transitions away from legacy rates (General Use and Enterprise) towards standard cost of service rates. In Section 3 – Rates for Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Electric Service of the attached Resolution with Hetch Hetchy tariff schedules, “Retail” rates are referred to as “Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Electric Service” rates.

Two major objectives of this Study are to transition away from the legacy groupings listed above, and instead charge
all customers rates based on
their customer class (i.e., residential, small commercial, industrial, etc.), and to move all rates to their cost of s ervice. These changes mean that customers who were below cost of service will see their rates increase, and those who were previously above cost of service will see a rate decrease.

This transition is designed to support the fiscal health of Hetch Hetchy Power, improve the fairness of Hetch Hetchy Power’s rates, vastly simplify billing administration, and set up the program to implement modern rate structures to support its policy goals.

Proposed Rate Design Changes
As stated above, a major goal of this study is to transition all customers to more standardized rates based on t heir customer class rather than their Public Hearing: Adopt Hetch Hetchy Power Rates for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 Commission Meeting Date: May 24, 2022

current legacy groupings (Retail, Enterprise, and General Use) derived from historical decisions that are not based on cost of service . This change is being implemented in a gradual, phased manner to prevent rate shock to any particular customer, so not all customers within a class will have reached the same cost of service rate at the end of the two -year rate proposal. However, the proposed changes will move the current set of tariffs significantly closer to this goal and set up Hetch Hetchy Power to achieve this objective within the next five years.

Key rate design changes proposed as part of the Study are:
• Assign all General Use customers to the appropriate customer class. o Create a “Municipal General” rate for each class with the same structure as the retail rate within that class (i.e., the same seasonal periods, energy and demand line items, customer charge, etc.).
o Calculate the Municipal General rate as a discount from the equivalent retail rate schedule in t he year, solving for an all -in average $ per kWh effective rate that increases by $0.03/kWh annually from the current General Use rate of $0.0988/kWh. o If the Municipal General rate for a fiscal year meets or exceeds the cost of service for the customer class, eliminate the rate schedule, and charge these customers the normal retail rate for that customer class.
• For Enterprise and Retail customers, maintain the current rate structures and options available, but transition to cost of service, with some adjustments.
o Phase-in rate changes to the cost -of-service rate over two fiscal years. This may require an increase or a decrease to the rate, depending on its current level, but should result in the Enterprise and retail rates being the same in the second year of the rate plan.
o If this phase -in would require an increase of more than 10% annually in the all -in average $ per kWh paid by customers on a particular rate schedule, limit the increase to no more than approximately 10% to prevent rate shock. However , this limit is calculated on an average class basis; within the class, rate impact may be greater or less than 10% for individual
customers.
• The phase -out of the Municipal General subsidy, the continued discounts for low -income residential customers, and the cap on annual rate increases result in under collection of the revenue requirement for certain rate schedules. The proposed rates distribute the under collection amount to all retail and Enterprise non- residential rate classes. This amount will decre
ase from its current
levels as all customers move closer to their actual cost of service.

Public Hearing: Adopt Hetch Hetchy Power Rates for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 Commission Meeting Date: May 24, 2022

In addition to the steps described above, the proposed rates are generally designed to minimize significant changes to rate structures, because the proposed changes t o rate levels as part of the transition to cost of service rates are significant.

SFPUC staff plan to revisit low -income Hetch Hetchy discounts as part of a larger undertaking to re- evaluate and improve affordability programs, targets, and metrics. The pot ential changes will streamline existing programs and examine changes to eligibility to align with other City programs. The attached rate schedules maintain the low -income programs currently in effect.

Summary of Rate Changes
Due to the complexity of the cu rrent rates structure, rate changes vary significantly across different customer classes. The following table summarizes, at a high level, the changes for each customer class.

Public Outreach and Education
SFPUC staff engaged customers, communities of interest, and the general public on the Power Rates Study through a variety of public meetings.

SFPUC staff presented to CleanPowerSF and Hetch Hetchy Power community members, such as the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation and Literacy for Environmental Justice, on Thursday, April 7, 2022 via one of the agency’s quarterly Community Power Update meetings
. SFPUC staff also presented to the agency’s Power
Subcommittee of the Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC) on Tuesday, April 12, 2022 and the Local Agency Formation Commission on Friday, April 15, 2022.

The agency’s Rate Fairness Board (RFB) is the primary public venue where the Power Rate Study’s methodology, object ives, and preliminary analysis have been discussed since the rate study process began in the fall of 2020. The independent rate consultant and SFPUC staff presented their analysis and recommendations to Board members and the public at a total of 12 RFB mee tings. Final results of the Power Rate Study and the
SFPUC proposed rates were presented on May 10, 2022.

The RFB’s comments and recommendations regarding the proposed rates are scheduled to be presented to the Commission on May 24, 2022.

Once rates are f ormally adopted, the SFPUC will communicate the rate change to CleanPowerSF and Hetch Hetchy Power customers through a variety of tactics: website, email, bill message, and social media. SFPUC staff will also proactively engage key CleanPowerSF and Hetch H etchy Power accounts as necessary. Residential CleanPowerSF and Hetch Hetchy Power customers will also be reminded about available discount programs and other ways to save on their monthly electricity bill.

Public Hearing Notice
Pursuant to Charter Section 16.112, a Notice of Public Hearing on the establishment of a schedule of rates was published in the official newspaper from May 4 to May 11, 2022, and posted on the SFPUC website for a public hearing on May 24, 2022, with possible Commission action on this date.

Board of Supervisors Review
Pursuant to Charter Section 8B.125, Commission action adopting rates and charges, including provisions for fut ure periodic adjustments, is Public Hearing: Adopt Hetch Hetchy Power Rates for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 Commission Meeting Date: May 24, 2022

subject to rejection by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) within 30 days of submission to the Clerk of the Board.

These proposed rates will become effective on or after July 1, 2022 and July 1, 2023 and will remain effective until revised.

Budget & Costs: The revenues associated with the rate changes include d in this item have been incorporated into the FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 operating budget.

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
City and County of San Francisco
RESOLUTION NO: ____________________
WHEREAS, Hetch Hetchy Power provides electric service to municipal, governmental, residential, and commercial customers within the City & County of San Francisco at rates set by this Commission; and
WHEREAS, In accordance with Section 8B.125 of the Charter of the City and County of San Francisco, the Commission retained an independent rate consultant, NewGen Strategies & Solutions, to perform a rate study and prepare a report entitled “2022 Power Rates Study Report,” which has been posted to the sfpuc.org website; and WHEREAS, The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission staff have reviewed the independent rate consultant report, and have prepared a staff rate proposal based on the consultant recommendations; and
WHEREAS, The General Manager finds that power revenues under existing rates are not at cost of service, and recommends adjustments be made to all rates to bring them closer to cost- of-service levels beginning in Fiscal Year 2022-23; and WHEREAS, A Notice of Public Hearing for this proposed rate action was duly provided, and a Public Hearing was held on May 24, 2022 where this proposed action was presented; and WHEREAS, The Rate Fairness Board has reviewed the findings and recommendations and presented the results of its review to this Commission at a public hearing on May 24, 2022; and
WHEREAS, This Commission hereby finds that adoption of this resolution will establish rates for the purpose of: Meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits; Purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or materials; Meeting financial reserve needs and requirements, Obtaining funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing service areas; and Obtaining funds necessary to maintain such intra-city transfers as are authorized by the City’s Charter; and

WHEREAS, On May 3, 2022, the San Francisco Planning Department determined the Project to be statutorily exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) section 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Guidelines section 15273 (Rates, Tolls, Fares, and Charges) (Case Number 2022- 004055ENV) related to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, or other charges; and

WHEREAS, This action constitutes the Approval Action for the project for the purposes of the CEQA pursuant to Section 31.04(h) of the San Francisco Administrative Code; and WHEREAS, At the present time, the SFPUC has not approved any new infrastructure projects that would need to be constructed to serve New-Service residential, commercial and industrial customers within the service area of the SFPUC. Therefore, such projects are not reasonably foreseeable under the CEQA Guidelines at this time. Once new customers are identified and the infrastructure projects to serve these customers are ready for approval, the appropriate CEQA review would be completed prior to the SFPUC's approval to implement these projects; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, The following requirements and Schedules of Hetch Hetchy Power Electric Rates and Charges shall apply to all customers of Hetch Hetchy Power; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, The existing Municipal General Use tariff (Schedule M-2) is eliminated, and all customers currently on this rate shall be enrolled in the appropriate tariff schedule as listed below.

Section 1 – Authority and General Purpose
This Resolution is adopted pursuant to Section 8B.125 of the Charter of the City and County of San Francisco for the purpose of establishing an orderly system for the imposition and collection of charges for the operating, maintenance, replacement, debt service and other costs incurred by the Power Enterprise in generating, acquiring from other sources and delivering electricity for consumptive and other uses to customers receiving Hetch Hetchy Power service from the Power Enterprise.

Section 2 – Customer Classification
Class Determination: Upon application for new service, each Customer shall be assigned to a Customer Class based on the class of electric service requested in the application. Whenever the applicable rate cannot be determined (for instance, for a new service without usage data), SFPUC may assign a temporary rate until electric service qualification parameters for the applicable rate are met. This class determination process is in accordance with the requirements of this resolution and Section VI.B of the SFPUC’s Rules & Regulations Governing Electric Service.

For many commercial and industrial rate schedules, a customer must take service on the rate schedule that corresponds to their maximum monthly demand. A customer’s maximum demand will be assessed based on the prior twelve-month period. If their maximum monthly demand exceeds the maximum demand for their currently assigned rate schedule for more than 3 months in the prior twelve-month period, they will be transferred to a different commercial rate schedule for subsequent billing cycles.

Change in Classification: Customers may request their rate be reassessed once every twelve- month period. The SFPUC may waive the twelve-month requirement if the Commission approves a new rate that applies to the customer, or the Customer’s operating conditions have changed significantly to warrant such a change in applicable rate. These stipulations are outlined in Section VI.C of the Rules & Regulations Governing Electric Service.

Section 3 – Rates for Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Electric Service The following Schedules of Hetch Hetchy Power Rates apply to most retail non-municipal Hetch Hetchy Power customers. New customers applying for Hetch Hetchy service will pay one of the rates in Section 3 unless they meet the specific eligibility criteria for rates listed herein.

Residential
Residential rates are applicable to customers served through a separate meter or bank of meters who primarily use electricity for domestic purposes. In cases where a meter serves both domestic and commercial uses, the use which requires the majority of the energy usage will determine the appropriate rate.

For residential rates with tiered energy charges, the price of power increases as a customer uses more energy in each billing period. A standard billing period is one month, defined as 30 days. If a customer’s bill falls more than 5 days outside of the 30-day billing period (less than 25 days or

greater than 35), the amount of energy in each tier will be “pro-rated,” meaning that it will be adjusted to reflect the proportional amount above or below the standard 30-day bill period.

Residential rates vary based on the summer vs. the winter season, which is defined in Section 8 – Seasonal and Time of Use Periods.

Section 4 – Rates for Enterprise Municipal Electric Service The following Hetch Hetchy Power Rates are only applicable to customers currently on these rate schedules, which includes certain municipal, governmental, and commercial customers, referred to as “Enterprise” customers. Current Enterprise customers must remain on their existing rate schedule, though small commercial and medium commercial Enterprise customers may switch between the time-of-use or standard rate schedules available to them.

New customers will not be placed on one of these rates unless they are new facilities operated by one of the following City departments or government agencies:

Enterprise Municipal Customers
Port of San Francisco
San Francisco City Administrator’s Office – Convention Facilities Department San Francisco City Administrator’s Office – Real Estate Division, Bill Graham Civic Auditorium San Francisco Housing Authority
San Francisco International Airport
San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency – Parking Authority San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency – Traffic Engineering San Francisco Public Library
San Francisco Public Utilities Commission
San Francisco Public Works – Street Environmental Services San Francisco Public Works – Street & Sewer Repair
San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department – Yacht Harbor Residential
Residential rates are applicable to customers served through a separate meter or bank of meters who primarily use electricity for domestic purposes. In cases where a meter serves both domestic and commercial uses, the use which requires the majority of the energy usage will determine the appropriate rate.

For Enterprise residential rates with tiered energy charges, the price of power increases as a customer uses more energy in each billing period. A standard billing period is one month, defined as 30 days. If a customer’s bill is shorter or longer than 30 days, the amount of energy in each tier will be “pro-rated,” meaning that it will be adjusted to reflect the proportional amount above or below the standard 30-day bill period.

For “master metered” residential rates, the kWh per tier is multiplied by the number of dwelling units. Residential rates vary based on the summer vs. the winter season, which is defined in Section 7 – Net Energy Metering Tariffs.

Because these are not primarily used for domestic purposes, they are typically served under an applicable commercial or industrial rate. However, these accounts are eligible for a discounted rate if all occupants of a building meet the criteria for a low-income discount, as defined by PG&E’s CARE program. In addition, some existing Enterprise master- metered residential buildings may voluntarily have chosen to be on a commercial rate. While no new customers will be allowed to voluntarily be on a commercial rate, those that currently are, and which would otherwise be eligible for a low-income discount for the building, can continue to remain on the voluntary commercial rate and receive the discounts as shown below.

Section 7 – Net Energy Metering Tariffs
Schedule NEM-SFPUC: Net Energy Metering
Applicability
A. This Schedule Net Energy Metering-SFPUC (NEM-SFPUC) is applicable to service for eligible SFPUC customers located where SFPUC operates the local distribution system and is able to use exported energy to serve SFPUC customers who site renewable electric generation facilities on their owned, rented, or leased premises within the SFPUC service area. To be eligible for services under this Schedule, the customer must install a Renewable Electrical Generation Facility.

B. This Schedule is available upon request, on a first-come, first-served basis for eligible customers until the total rated generating capacity used by eligible customers exceeds 5 percent of SFPUC’s aggregate customer peak demand. When this total rated generating capacity exceeds 5 percent of SFPUC’s aggregate customer peak demand, this schedule is closed to new customers.

C. The eligible customer must submit an application for Net Energy Metering. Upon acceptance by SFPUC, the customer must execute a Net Energy Metering Acknowledgement or any other document containing substantially the terms and conditions of the Acknowledgement as determined by SFPUC in order to receive services under this Schedule.

Definitions
“Annual True-up Period” means the twelve month period commencing in May of each year. “Net Electricity Consumer” means a Customer that exports less electricity from its Renewable Electrical Generation Facility during an Annual True-up Period than is delivered by SFPUC to the Customer during the same period.
“Net Electricity Generator” means a Customer that exports more electricity from its Renewable Electrical Generation Facility during an Annual True-up Period than is delivered by SFPUC to the Customer during the same period.
“Renewable Electricity Generation Facility” means a facility that generates electricity from a renewable source listed in California Public Resources Code Section 25741(a)(1)1 and that is:
a. located on the customer’s owned, rented, or leased premises; b. equal to or less than 1 MW (AC) in design capacity;
c. interconnected for parallel operation with the PG&E distribution system; and d. sized principally to offset part or all of the customer’s own on-site electrical requirements. If there is a material and permanent change to the customer’s electrical requirements such that the renewable facility output exceeds the customer’s load, SFPUC may reassess the customer’s eligibility for this Schedule.

Metering
A. The customer meter must be capable of accurately measuring the flow of energy in both directions. If the existing meter is not an interval meter capable of accurately measuring the flow of energy in both directions and being read remotely by SFPUC in a manner that allows accurate billing under the customer’s applicable rate, SFPUC will install a new meter or cause one to be installed, and the customer shall be responsible for reimbursing all costs of purchasing and installing that meter. If needed, the customer shall install the appropriate meter socket.

B. The meter shall satisfy the requirements of this section and all applicable federal, state, and local safety and performance standards. If the renewable facility will export electricity through an interconnection to PG&E’s distribution system, the meter must also satisfy any PG&E meter requirements.

C. SFPUC may install an additional meter at its own expense with the consent of the customer. The additional meter shall be used only to provide the information necessary to accurately bill or credit the customer and/or to collect generating system performance information for research purposes.

Billing, Settlement and Net Surplus Compensation Rate
Monthly Bills
A. Each customer will be billed monthly. All charges under the customer’s otherwise applicable rate schedule shall be in effect and, except for Net Electricity generators as set forth in the “Annual Settlement” section below, all charges shall be due and payable on a monthly basis. The monthly billing statement will reflect the customer’s net electricity consumption, charges incurred, generation bill credits from previous billing cycles, and credits generated during the current billing period. The monetary value of any excess generation during a monthly billing cycle shall be calculated as follows:

1. For customers on a Flat Rate Schedule: If in any monthly billing cycle, the electricity delivered by SFPUC is less than the electricity received by SFPUC from the Renewable Electricity Generation Facility, the value of the excess kilowatt-hours (kWh) generated during the monthly billing cycle shall be calculated according to the electricity usage charges of the customer’s otherwise applicable rate schedule. This amount will be carried over as a monetary credit to the next billing cycle and credited against electricity use (kWh) charges on future bills for that account until the end of the Annual True-up Period.

2. For customers on a Time-of-Use Rate (“TOU”) Schedule: If in any monthly billing cycle, the electricity delivered by SFPUC is less than the electricity received by SFPUC from the Renewable Electricity Generation Facility, during any TOU period, the value of the excess kilowatt-hours (kWh) produced during that TOU period shall be calculated according to the electricity usage charges of the customer’s otherwise applicable rate schedule. If the aggregate electricity usage charges and credits summed across all TOU periods result in a net credit for the billing cycle, this amount will be carried over as a monetary credit to the next billing cycle and credited against electricity use (kWh) charges on future bills for that account until the end of the Annual True-up period.

B. Residential and small commercial customers may elect to pay the electricity usage charge portion of the billing statement monthly or at the annual settlement. All non-electricity usage charges, such as fees, surcharges, and taxes shall be due and payable on a monthly basis regardless of the customer’s election.

1. For customers who elect monthly payment, net electricity usage charges are due and payable per applicable monthly billing schedules.

2. For customers who elect annual payment of electricity usage charges, the customer’s net electricity charges and credits, as calculated on a monthly basis, will be carried over until the end of the Annual True-Up Period when payment will be due and payable in accordance with Section C, below.

3. For the purposes of this Schedule, “Small commercial customer” means a commercial customer that has a maximum peak demand of less than 75 kilowatts.

4. A customer may change its billing election within 30 days after each annual settlement is completed.

C. All customers other than residential and small commercial customers must pay the net balance of moneys owed on a monthly basis.

Annual Settlement
A. At the end of the Annual True-up Period, SFPUC will determine whether the Customer is a Net Electricity Consumer or a Net Electricity Generator during the preceding Annual True-up Period. For new customers, the Annual True-up Period will cover the period starting on the date that the Customer commences service under this NEM-SFPUC Schedule through the Customer’s April billing cycle.

B. If the customer is a Net Electricity Consumer, SFPUC will calculate the net compensation owed to SFPUC in accordance with the customer’s otherwise applicable rate schedule and the customer must pay the full amount owed in accordance with the SFPUC’s Rules for electricity service. For new customers commencing service under this NEM-SFPUC Schedule less than 12 months prior to the April true-up date, any remaining monetary bill credits will be carried over to the next twelve-month period on a one time only basis. For all other customers, any remaining monetary bill credits will be zeroed out.

C. If the customer is a Net Electricity Generator, the customer must elect either:

1. Net surplus electricity compensation for any net surplus electricity generated during the prior Annual True-up Period, with any remaining credit balance reset to zero, or

2. Carryover of any remaining monetary bill credits to the next Annual True-up Period, to be applied as a credit for future electricity use (kWh) charges. A customer that chooses this option will lose any opportunity to receive net surplus electricity compensation for these credits in the future.

3. In the case of a customer that does not affirmatively elect to receive either net surplus electricity compensation or carryover of credits, SFPUC shall have no obligation to provide compensation or credits for the electricity received from the customer during that twelve-month period, and any remaining credit balance will be reset to zero.

4. A customer may change its current election for net surplus electricity compensation by submitting that change to the SFPUC at least 30 days prior to the April true-up date.

D. The Net Surplus Electricity Compensation rate for each kilowatt-hour of net electricity production during the Annual True-up Period is:

1. If the customer does not own the rights to the Renewable Energy Credits (“RECs”) associated with the Renewable Electric Generation Facility or elects to retain them for the customer’s own use, the Net Surplus Electricity Compensation rate is $0.04 per kWh.

2. If the customer owns the rights to the RECs produced by the Eligible Renewable Electric Generation Facility and elects to transfer to the SFPUC the RECs associated with the net surplus electricity produced, the Net Surplus Electricity Compensation rate is $0.05 per kWh.

E. If the customer terminates the contractual relationship with SFPUC, SFPUC shall reconcile the customer’s consumption and production of electricity during the relevant

portion of the twelve-month period following the last annual settlement and calculate the net credit or net bill as provided in this section. Any credits carried over from prior twelve-month periods that cannot be netted against remaining electricity use (kWh) charges will be zeroed out.

Safety, Standards and Inspections
A. If the Renewable Electricity Generating Facility will be interconnected to SFPUC’s distribution system, the customer must satisfy all applicable SFPUC interconnection requirements and receive SFPUC approval to interconnect. In instances where the renewable facility connection requires SFPUC to meet responsibilities regarding its interconnection with the PG&E distribution system the customer must satisfy all applicable PG&E interconnection rules and regulations. The customer is solely responsible for payment of all fees and charges associated with the interconnection of the Renewable Electricity Generating Facility.

B. The Renewable Electricity Generating Facility shall meet all applicable federal, state and local safety and performance standards, including those established by the National Electrical Code, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and accredited testing laboratories such as Underwriters Laboratories and, as applicable, the rules of the California Public Utilities Commission regarding safety and reliability. The customer shall operate the renewable facility in compliance with all applicable SFPUC or PG&E tariffs, rules, regulations, and orders, and any rules, regulations and orders of the California Public Utilities Commission. The customer is solely responsible for payment of all fees, rates and charges associated with the operation of the Renewable Electricity Generating Facility.

Schedule NEM-ShaRE: Shared Renewable Energy Arrangement Applicability
A. This Schedule ShaRE is applicable to service for multi-tenant or multi-meter properties located at the same or contiguous properties on which a renewable energy facility owned or installed by an eligible SFPUC customer is located and where the SFPUC operates the local distribution system and is able to use exported energy to serve other SFPUC customers. This Schedule may be extended to customers in other locations on a case-by- case basis where the configuration of distribution facilities permit. Contiguous properties must be owned, rented or leased by the same customer that owns, rents, or leases the property on which the renewable energy facility is located (“Contiguous Properties”).

B. This Schedule is available upon request, on a first-come, first-served basis for eligible customers until the total rated generating capacity used by eligible customers under this Schedule equals 5 megawatts of installed capacity. At that time, this schedule will be closed to new customers.

C. The renewable facility must:

1. be a renewable energy resource as defined in California Public Resources Code Section 25741(a)(1);

2. be sized such that the amount of energy generated does not exceed the total energy requirements of all of the benefitting accounts and generating account, but with a maximum design capacity of 1 MW (AC);

3. be located on the customer’s owned, rented, or leased premises; and

4. be interconnected for parallel operation with the local distribution system.

D. Customers on this Schedule are not eligible to take service on Electric Schedule NEM- SFPUC, Net Energy Metering.

E. The eligible customer must submit a ShaRE Application. Upon acceptance by SFPUC, the customer must execute a ShaRE Acknowledgement or any other document containing substantially the terms and conditions of the Acknowledgement as determined by SFPUC in order to receive services under this Schedule. All necessary forms and documents are available for download from the SFPUC website.

Customer Accounts And Metering
A. The customer must designate specific SFPUC-served accounts that are either located on the same property where the renewable facility is located or on Contiguous Properties.

These designated accounts will form a “Shared Renewable Energy (ShaRE) arrangement”, made up of both of the following:

1. Designated “benefitting accounts” that will receive billing credits for energy generated by the renewable facility.

2. A single account to which the renewable facility will be primarily associated for the purposes of billing renewable facility-related fees. This account shall be referred to as either a “generating account” or a “primary account” depending on the customer’s chosen renewable facility configuration. Generating accounts and primary accounts will be differently treated according to the following rules:
i. If the renewable facility is located behind a meter billed to the customer, the associated account will be designated as a “generating account”. Any billing credits generated by the renewable facility will firstly be applied to the generating account’s load until the generating account’s load is zeroed out, before being allocated to benefitting accounts.
ii. If the renewable facility is located in front of existing customer meters, the customer must designate one of its own existing accounts to serve as a “primary account”. The primary account will not receive any billing credits unless the customer chooses to also designate the primary account as a benefitting account in the ShaRe arrangement.

B. Metering for the renewable facility.

1. To enable accurate billing of benefitting accounts, the renewable facility’s meter must be capable of (i) measuring the flow of electricity in both directions in a manner commensurate with the smallest time interval required by the SFPUC to establish billing determinants for any of the benefitting account meters and (ii) being read remotely by SFPUC. If necessary, the SFPUC will install a meter to accurately measure and record the total amount of electricity exported by the renewable facility. The customer shall install the appropriate meter socket and

shall reimburse the SFPUC for the actual cost of all necessary labor, equipment, materials, and related facilities costs incurred by the SFPUC to install the necessary metering.

2. If the existing distribution utility meter is not an interval meter capable of measuring the flow of electricity in both directions and being read remotely by SFPUC, the SFPUC will install a new meter or cause one to be installed, consistent with the SFPUC’s specifications, and the customer shall be responsible for any costs incurred. If needed, the customer shall install the appropriate meter socket.

3. Meters shall meet the requirements of this section and all applicable federal, state, and local safety and performance standards.

Billing and Settlement
A. Each account in the ShaRE arrangement will be billed monthly. All charges under the participating account’s otherwise applicable rate schedule shall be in effect, and the account will continue to be billed for all applicable charges—including, if applicable, demand and monthly charges—other than those reduced by the crediting method described below.

B. For each monthly billing period, the SFPUC shall allocate the electricity (kWh) exported by the renewable facility to each benefitting account by one of the following methods. In either method, if the renewable facility serves any customer load located behind the same customer account as the renewable facility (i.e. the generating account), the energy credits that will be applied to the benefiting accounts will be net of the energy credits applied to zero out the generating account’s load.

1. The customer may specify a percentage of exported electricity to be assigned to each benefitting account (the sum of the assigned percentages shall equal 100% of monthly exported electricity). The customer must notify all benefitting accounts and submit the signed allocation form to the SFPUC.

2. If the allocation is not specified by the customer, the allocation will be performed by the SFPUC in proportion to the cumulative billed usage at each identified benefitting account for the previous twelve months prior to the initial application.

If twelve months of historical billing data are not available for any benefiting accounts, the SFPUC will estimate usage for these purposes. The energy (kWh) exported from the renewable facility at each meter interval will then be allocated to each of the benefitting accounts for the corresponding interval for the applicable billing period.

C. The allocated energy (kWh) will be valued at the electricity use (kWh) charges of the benefitting account’s otherwise applicable rate schedule. The value of the allocated energy will not include demand or monthly customer charges. Each benefitting account will be billed for the net amount of energy consumption and demand and customer charges at the account’s otherwise applicable rate schedule. The net balance of all moneys owed must be paid on each monthly billing cycle.

D. If the monetary value of allocated energy in a month exceeds the electricity use (kWh) charges for the benefitting account in that month, the excess value shall be carried over as a monetary credit on the benefitting account. This amount will be credited against electricity use (kWh) charges on future bills for that account until the end of the twelve- month period.

E. The generating account and all benefitting accounts within a ShaRE arrangement will be placed on the same billing cycle. In the April bill each year, any unused accumulated monthly bill credits from the preceding 12 month period will be zeroed out.

1. For new customers, the April true-up will cover the period starting on the date that the customer commences service under this ShaRE Schedule up to the April true-up date. For new customers commencing service under this ShaRE Schedule less than 12 months prior to the April true-up date, any remaining monetary bill credits will be carried over to the next twelve-month period on a one time only basis.

2. If any account within the ShaRE arrangement terminates participation in this program, the SFPUC will reconcile that account’s consumption and production of electricity during any part of the twelve-month period following the last annual settlement. If there is a material and permanent change to the usage of the ShaRE accounts such that the renewable facility output exceeds the combined load of the accounts, SFPUC may reassess the customer’s eligibility for this Schedule.

F. The customer will retain ownership of all renewable energy credits associated with the renewable facility.

G. The SFPUC will assess fees to recover added costs of billing services for a ShaRE arrangement. The generating account will be charged a one-time setup charge of $12 for each benefitting account. Each benefitting account and the generating account will be charged a monthly billing service fee of $5. The customer may make changes to the allocation percentages by notifying each affected benefitting account and submitting a new signed allocation form to the SFPUC. If the customer wishes to make more than one changed allocation per twelve-month true-up period, the generating account will be charged $12 per account changed.

Safety, Standards and Inspections
A. The customer must satisfy all applicable SFPUC interconnection requirements and receive SFPUC approval to interconnect. The customer is solely responsible for payment of all fees, rates, and charges associated with the interconnection of the renewable facility.

B. The renewable facility shall meet all applicable federal, state and local safety and performance standards, including those established by the National Electrical Code, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and accredited testing laboratories such as Underwriters Laboratories and, as applicable, the rules of the California Public Utilities Commission regarding safety and reliability. The customer shall operate the renewable facility in compliance with all applicable SFPUC or PG&E tariffs, rules,

regulations, and orders, and any rules, regulations and orders of the California Public Utilities Commission. The customer is solely responsible for payment of all fees, rates, and charges associated with the operation of the renewable facility.

Schedule NEM-SFPUC: Net Energy Metering
Applicability
D. This Schedule Net Energy Metering-SFPUC (NEM-SFPUC) is applicable to service for eligible SFPUC customers who site renewable electric generation facilities on their

owned, rented, or leased premises within the SFPUC service area. To be eligible for services under this Schedule, the customer must install a Renewable Electrical Generation Facility.

E. This Schedule is available upon request, on a first-come, first-served basis for eligible customers until the total rated generating capacity used by eligible customers exceeds 5 percent of SFPUC’s aggregate customer peak demand. When this total rated generating capacity exceeds 5 percent of SFPUC’s aggregate customer peak demand, this schedule is closed to new customers.

F. The eligible customer must submit an application for Net Energy Metering. Upon acceptance by SFPUC, the customer must execute a Net Energy Metering Acknowledgement or any other document containing substantially the terms and conditions of the Acknowledgement as determined by SFPUC in order to receive services under this Schedule.

Definitions
“Annual True-up Period” means the twelve month period commencing in May of each year. “Net Electricity Consumer” means a Customer that exports less electricity from its Renewable Electrical Generation Facility during an Annual True-up Period than is delivered by SFPUC to the Customer during the same period.
“Net Electricity Generator” means a Customer that exports more electricity from its Renewable Electrical Generation Facility during an Annual True-up Period than is delivered by SFPUC to the Customer during the same period.
“Renewable Electricity Generation Facility” means a facility that generates electricity from a renewable source listed in California Public Resources Code Section 25741(a)(1)1 and that is:
e. located on the customer’s owned, rented, or leased premises; f. equal to or less than 1 MW (AC) in design capacity;
g. interconnected for parallel operation with the PG&E distribution system; and h. sized principally to offset part or all of the customer’s own on-site electrical requirements. If there is a material and permanent change to the customer’s electrical requirements such that the renewable facility output exceeds the customer’s load, SFPUC may reassess the customer’s eligibility for this Schedule.

Metering
D. The customer meter must be capable of accurately measuring the flow of energy in both directions. If the existing meter is not an interval meter capable of accurately measuring the flow of energy in both directions and being read remotely by SFPUC in a manner that allows accurate billing under the customer’s applicable rate, SFPUC will install a new meter or cause one to be installed, and the customer shall be responsible for reimbursing all costs of purchasing and installing that meter. If needed, the customer shall install the appropriate meter socket.

E. The meter shall satisfy the requirements of this section and all applicable federal, state, and local safety and performance standards. If the renewable facility will export electricity through an interconnection to PG&E’s distribution system, the meter must also satisfy any PG&E meter requirements.

F. SFPUC may install an additional meter at its own expense with the consent of the customer. The additional meter shall be used only to provide the information necessary to accurately bill or credit the customer and/or to collect generating system performance information for research purposes.

Billing, Settlement and Net Surplus Compensation Rate
Monthly Bills
D. Each customer will be billed monthly. All charges under the customer’s otherwise applicable rate schedule shall be in effect and, except for Net Electricity generators as set forth in the “Annual Settlement” section below, all charges shall be due and payable on a monthly basis. The monthly billing statement will reflect the customer’s net electricity consumption, charges incurred, generation bill credits from previous billing cycles, and credits generated during the current billing period. The monetary value of any excess generation during a monthly billing cycle shall be calculated as follows:

1. For customers on a Flat Rate Schedule: If in any monthly billing cycle, the electricity delivered by SFPUC is less than the electricity received by SFPUC from the Renewable Electricity Generation Facility, the value of the excess kilowatt-hours (kWh) generated during the monthly billing cycle shall be calculated according to the electricity usage charges of the customer’s otherwise applicable rate schedule. This amount will be carried over as a monetary credit to the next billing cycle and credited against electricity use (kWh) charges on future bills for that account until the end of the Annual True-up Period.

2. For customers on a Time-of-Use Rate (“TOU”) Schedule: If in any monthly billing cycle, the electricity delivered by SFPUC is less than the electricity received by SFPUC from the Renewable Electricity Generation Facility, during any TOU period, the value of the excess kilowatt-hours (kWh) produced during that TOU period shall be calculated according to the electricity usage charges of the customer’s otherwise applicable rate schedule. If the aggregate electricity usage charges and credits summed across all TOU periods result in a net credit for the billing cycle, this amount will be carried over as a monetary credit to the next billing cycle and credited against electricity use (kWh) charges on future bills for that account until the end of the Annual True-up period.

E. Residential and small commercial customers may elect to pay the electricity usage charge portion of the billing statement monthly or at the annual settlement. All non-electricity usage charges, such as fees, surcharges, and taxes shall be due and payable on a monthly basis regardless of the customer’s election.

1. For customers who elect monthly payment, net electricity usage charges are due and payable per applicable monthly billing schedules.

2. For customers who elect annual payment of electricity usage charges, the customer’s net electricity charges and credits, as calculated on a monthly basis,

will be carried over until the end of the Annual True-Up Period when payment will be due and payable in accordance with Section C, below.

3. For the purposes of this Schedule, “Small commercial customer” means a commercial customer that has a maximum peak demand of less than 75 kilowatts.

4. A customer may change its billing election within 30 days after each annual settlement is completed.

F. All customers other than residential and small commercial customers must pay the net balance of moneys owed on a monthly basis.

Annual Settlement
F. At the end of the Annual True-up Period, SFPUC will determine whether the Customer is a Net Electricity Consumer or a Net Electricity Generator during the preceding Annual True-up Period. For new customers, the Annual True-up Period will cover the period starting on the date that the Customer commences service under this NEM-SFPUC Schedule through the Customer’s April billing cycle.

G. If the customer is a Net Electricity Consumer, SFPUC will calculate the net compensation owed to SFPUC in accordance with the customer’s otherwise applicable rate schedule and the customer must pay the full amount owed in accordance with the SFPUC’s Rules for electricity service. For new customers commencing service under this NEM-SFPUC Schedule less than 12 months prior to the April true-up date, any remaining monetary bill credits will be carried over to the next twelve-month period on a one time only basis. For all other customers, any remaining monetary bill credits will be zeroed out.

H. If the customer is a Net Electricity Generator, the customer must elect either:

1. Net surplus electricity compensation for any net surplus electricity generated during the prior Annual True-up Period, with any remaining credit balance reset to zero, or

2. Carryover of any remaining monetary bill credits to the next Annual True-up Period, to be applied as a credit for future electricity use (kWh) charges. A customer that chooses this option will lose any opportunity to receive net surplus electricity compensation for these credits in the future.

3. In the case of a customer that does not affirmatively elect to receive either net surplus electricity compensation or carryover of credits, SFPUC shall have no obligation to provide compensation or credits for the electricity received from the customer during that twelve-month period, and any remaining credit balance will be reset to zero.

4. A customer may change its current election for net surplus electricity compensation by submitting that change to the SFPUC at least 30 days prior to the April true-up date.

I. The Net Surplus Electricity Compensation rate for each kilowatt-hour of net electricity production during the Annual True-up Period is:

1. If the customer does not own the rights to the Renewable Energy Credits (“RECs”) associated with the Renewable Electric Generation Facility or elects to retain them for the customer’s own use, the Net Surplus Electricity Compensation rate is $0.04 per kWh.

2. If the customer owns the rights to the RECs produced by the Eligible Renewable Electric Generation Facility and elects to transfer to the SFPUC the RECs associated with the net surplus electricity produced, the Net Surplus Electricity Compensation rate is $0.05 per kWh.

J. If the customer terminates the contractual relationship with SFPUC, SFPUC shall reconcile the customer’s consumption and production of electricity during the relevant portion of the twelve-month period following the last annual settlement and calculate the net credit or net bill as provided in this section. Any credits carried over from prior twelve-month periods that cannot be netted against remaining electricity use (kWh) charges will be zeroed out.

Safety, Standards and Inspections
C. If the Renewable Electricity Generating Facility will be interconnected to SFPUC’s distribution system, the customer must satisfy all applicable SFPUC interconnection requirements and receive SFPUC approval to interconnect. In instances where the renewable facility connection requires SFPUC to meet responsibilities regarding its interconnection with the PG&E distribution system the customer must satisfy all applicable PG&E interconnection rules and regulations. The customer is solely responsible for payment of all fees and charges associated with the interconnection of the Renewable Electricity Generating Facility.

D. The Renewable Electricity Generating Facility shall meet all applicable federal, state and local safety and performance standards, including those established by the National Electrical Code, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and accredited testing laboratories such as Underwriters Laboratories and, as applicable, the rules of the California Public Utilities Commission regarding safety and reliability. The customer shall operate the renewable facility in compliance with all applicable SFPUC or PG&E tariffs, rules, regulations, and orders, and any rules, regulations and orders of the California Public Utilities Commission. The customer is solely responsible for payment of all fees, rates and charges associated with the operation of the Renewable Electricity Generating Facility.

Schedule NEM-ShaRE: Shared Renewable Energy Arrangement Applicability
F. This Schedule ShaRE is applicable to service for multi-tenant or multi-meter properties located at the same or contiguous properties on which a renewable energy facility owned or installed by an eligible SFPUC customer is located and where the SFPUC operates the local distribution system. This Schedule may be extended to customers in other locations on a case-by-case basis where the configuration of distribution facilities permit.

Contiguous properties must be owned, rented or leased by the same customer that owns,

rents, or leases the property on which the renewable energy facility is located (“Contiguous Properties”).

G. This Schedule is available upon request, on a first-come, first-served basis for eligible customers until the total rated generating capacity used by eligible customers under this Schedule equals 5 megawatts of installed capacity. At that time, this schedule will be closed to new customers.

H. The renewable facility must:

1. be a renewable energy resource as defined in California Public Resources Code Section 25741(a)(1);

2. be sized such that the amount of energy generated does not exceed the total energy requirements of all of the benefitting accounts and generating account, but with a maximum design capacity of 1 MW (AC);

3. be located on the customer’s owned, rented, or leased premises; and

4. be interconnected for parallel operation with the local distribution system.

I. Customers on this Schedule are not eligible to take service on Electric Schedule NEM- SFPUC, Net Energy Metering.

J. The eligible customer must submit a ShaRE Application. Upon acceptance by SFPUC, the customer must execute a ShaRE Acknowledgement or any other document containing substantially the terms and conditions of the Acknowledgement as determined by SFPUC in order to receive services under this Schedule. All necessary forms and documents are available for download from the SFPUC website.

Customer Accounts And Metering
C. The customer must designate specific SFPUC-served accounts that are either located on the same property where the renewable facility is located or on Contiguous Properties.

These designated accounts will form a “Shared Renewable Energy (ShaRE) arrangement”, made up of both of the following:

1. Designated “benefitting accounts” that will receive billing credits for energy generated by the renewable facility.

2. A single account to which the renewable facility will be primarily associated for the purposes of billing renewable facility-related fees. This account shall be referred to as either a “generating account” or a “primary account” depending on the customer’s chosen renewable facility configuration. Generating accounts and primary accounts will be differently treated according to the following rules:
i. If the renewable facility is located behind a meter billed to the customer, the associated account will be designated as a “generating account”. Any billing credits generated by the renewable facility will firstly be applied to the generating account’s load until the generating account’s load is zeroed out, before being allocated to benefitting accounts.
ii. If the renewable facility is located in front of existing customer meters, the customer must designate one of its own existing accounts to serve as a “primary account”. The primary account will not receive any billing

credits unless the customer chooses to also designate the primary account as a benefitting account in the ShaRe arrangement.

D. Metering for the renewable facility.

1. To enable accurate billing of benefitting accounts, the renewable facility’s meter must be capable of (i) measuring the flow of electricity in both directions in a manner commensurate with the smallest time interval required by the SFPUC to establish billing determinants for any of the benefitting account meters and (ii) being read remotely by SFPUC. If necessary, the SFPUC will install a meter to accurately measure and record the total amount of electricity exported by the renewable facility. The customer shall install the appropriate meter socket and shall reimburse the SFPUC for the actual cost of all necessary labor, equipment, materials, and related facilities costs incurred by the SFPUC to install the necessary metering.

2. If the existing distribution utility meter is not an interval meter capable of measuring the flow of electricity in both directions and being read remotely by SFPUC, the SFPUC will install a new meter or cause one to be installed, consistent with the SFPUC’s specifications, and the customer shall be responsible for any costs incurred. If needed, the customer shall install the appropriate meter socket.

3. Meters shall meet the requirements of this section and all applicable federal, state, and local safety and performance standards.

Billing and Settlement
H. Each account in the ShaRE arrangement will be billed monthly. All charges under the participating account’s otherwise applicable rate schedule shall be in effect, and the account will continue to be billed for all applicable charges—including, if applicable, demand and monthly charges—other than those reduced by the crediting method described below.

I. For each monthly billing period, the SFPUC shall allocate the electricity (kWh) exported by the renewable facility to each benefitting account by one of the following methods. In either method, if the renewable facility serves any customer load located behind the same customer account as the renewable facility (i.e. the generating account), the energy credits that will be applied to the benefiting accounts will be net of the energy credits applied to zero out the generating account’s load.

1. The customer may specify a percentage of exported electricity to be assigned to each benefitting account (the sum of the assigned percentages shall equal 100% of monthly exported electricity). The customer must notify all benefitting accounts and submit the signed allocation form to the SFPUC.

2. If the allocation is not specified by the customer, the allocation will be performed by the SFPUC in proportion to the cumulative billed usage at each identified benefitting account for the previous twelve months prior to the initial application.

If twelve months of historical billing data are not available for any benefiting accounts, the SFPUC will estimate usage for these purposes. The energy (kWh) exported from the renewable facility at each meter interval will then be allocated

to each of the benefitting accounts for the corresponding interval for the applicable billing period.

J. The allocated energy (kWh) will be valued at the electricity use (kWh) charges of the benefitting account’s otherwise applicable rate schedule. The value of the allocated energy will not include demand or monthly customer charges. Each benefitting account will be billed for the net amount of energy consumption and demand and customer charges at the account’s otherwise applicable rate schedule. The net balance of all moneys owed must be paid on each monthly billing cycle.

K. If the monetary value of allocated energy in a month exceeds the electricity use (kWh) charges for the benefitting account in that month, the excess value shall be carried over as a monetary credit on the benefitting account. This amount will be credited against electricity use (kWh) charges on future bills for that account until the end of the twelve- month period.

L. The generating account and all benefitting accounts within a ShaRE arrangement will be placed on the same billing cycle. In the April bill each year, any unused accumulated monthly bill credits from the preceding 12 month period will be zeroed out.

1. For new customers, the April true-up will cover the period starting on the date that the customer commences service under this ShaRE Schedule up to the April true-up date. For new customers commencing service under this ShaRE Schedule less than 12 months prior to the April true-up date, any remaining monetary bill credits will be carried over to the next twelve-month period on a one time only basis.

2. If any account within the ShaRE arrangement terminates participation in this program, the SFPUC will reconcile that account’s consumption and production of electricity during any part of the twelve-month period following the last annual settlement. If there is a material and permanent change to the usage of the ShaRE accounts such that the renewable facility output exceeds the combined load of the accounts, SFPUC may reassess the customer’s eligibility for this Schedule.

M. The customer will retain ownership of all renewable energy credits associated with the renewable facility.

N. The SFPUC will assess fees to recover added costs of billing services for a ShaRE arrangement. The generating account will be charged a one-time setup charge of $12 for each benefitting account. Each benefitting account and the generating account will be charged a monthly billing service fee of $5. The customer may make changes to the allocation percentages by notifying each affected benefitting account and submitting a new signed allocation form to the SFPUC. If the customer wishes to make more than one changed allocation per twelve-month true-up period, the generating account will be charged $12 per account changed.

Safety, Standards and Inspections
C. The customer must satisfy all applicable SFPUC interconnection requirements and receive SFPUC approval to interconnect. The customer is solely responsible for payment of all fees, rates, and charges associated with the interconnection of the renewable facility.

D. The renewable facility shall meet all applicable federal, state and local safety and performance standards, including those established by the National Electrical Code, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and accredited testing laboratories such as Underwriters Laboratories and, as applicable, the rules of the California Public Utilities Commission regarding safety and reliability. The customer shall operate the renewable facility in compliance with all applicable SFPUC or PG&E tariffs, rules, regulations, and orders, and any rules, regulations and orders of the California Public Utilities Commission. The customer is solely responsible for payment of all fees, rates, and charges associated with the operation of the renewable facility.

Section 8 – Seasonal and Time of Use Periods. Energy rates during part-peak periods for time- of-use rate schedules reflect this middle level of costs, as compared to peak and off-peak periods.

If a rate schedule has a Part-Peak Demand Charge, it is assessed based on the highest demand during all part-peak periods in the bill cycle.
"Off-Peak" (Time-of-Use)
“Off-Peak” times refer to when a utility’s system demand is typically lowest and costs are decreased using a Time-of-Use method. These times can be found in Section 7 – Net Energy Metering Tariffs.
"Poly Phase Meter”
Poly Phase meters measure multiple-phase A/C services; of which three-phase power is common. Three-phase power refers to an electrical system that has three different voltage curves, which start from zero at different times. Poly phase meters are typically installed when there are higher switchboard sizes over 600 amps. For existing accounts, you can contact Customer Service to find out what type of electrical system you have installed. "Primary Voltage"
Voltage class if the customer is served from a single customer substation or without transformation at a standard primary voltage
"Single Phase Meter”
Single Phase meters measure single phase A/C service, or an electrical system that has only one voltage or current curve. For existing accounts, you can contact Customer Service to find out what type of electrical system you have installed.

"Residential Customer"
The customer of record, for any single or multiple family dwelling unit, responsible for payment of the charges for electrical service
"Secondary Voltage"
Voltage class if the service voltage is less than 2,400 volts or if the definitions of "primary" and "transmission" do not apply to the service
"Summer Season"
The period from May 1 to October 31; see Section 7 – Net Energy Metering Tariffs. "Transmission Voltage"
Voltage class if the customer is served without transformation at a standard transmission voltage "Winter Season"
The period from November 1 to April 30; see Section 7 – Net Energy Metering Tariffs.

Section 10 – Outside Agencies
The Hetch Hetchy Power rate and charge schedules set forth in this resolution will not apply to any special agreements executed by the City and a Customer; provided that such agreements may be negotiated only when justified by special circumstances not generally applicable to other Customers, that such agreements shall provide schedules of electric rates and charges and other terms and conditions that may be required as the result of any outstanding bonded indebtedness or loan agreements and the requirements of local, state and federal laws and regulations, that are consistent with the customer classification cost allocations set forth in this resolution, and that such agreements shall be approved by the Commission.

Section 11 – Severability
If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this resolution or any part hereof, is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this resolution or any part hereof. The Commission hereby declares that it would have adopted each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective.

Section 12 – Effective Date
The rates adopted pursuant to this resolution shall be effective no sooner than thirty days following approval of this resolution, unless the rates are rejected by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors pursuant to Section 8B.125 of the City's Charter, and shall remain in effect until repealed, modified or superseded.
