RE: San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s Quarterly Report to the Board of Supervisors on the Status of Applications to PG&E for Electric Service.
Dear Ms. Calvillo:
The attached quarterly report has been prepared for the Board of Supervisors (Board) in accordance with Resolution No. 227-18, approved by the Board on July 10, 2018 (File No. 180693), adopted on July 20, 2018 and re-affirmed on April 6, 2021. Pursuant to Resolution No. 227-18, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is required to “provide the Board a quarterly report for the next two years that identifies the following: status of all City projects with applications to SFPUC for electric service, including project schedules and financing and other deadlines; project sponsor and SFPUC concerns in securing temporary and permanent power, including obstacles that could increase costs or delay service to City customers; and the status of disputes with PG&E before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) or in other forums.”
In addition to this report, the SFPUC also prepares a biennial report that describes complaints or disputes related to the Franchise Agreement between the City and PG&E, the most recent of which was sent to the Board on August 26, 2022.
BACKGROUND:
The SFPUC provides retail electric service from our Hetch Hetchy Power public utility (Hetchy) to over 4,000 accounts, relying on our Hetch Hetchy generation and other sources for supply. The City pays PG&E to provide transmission and distribution services regulated by FERC. The terms and conditions of the purchased distribution services are described in PG&E’s Wholesale Distribution Tariff (WDT).
In September 2020, PG&E filed an update to the WDT (WDT3) seeking to significantly increase wholesale distribution rates and amend the terms and conditions of service. San Francisco, California Public Utilities Commission, and other customers and agencies have intervened in the FERC proceeding to challenge many of PG&E’s proposed amendments to the WDT. Despite these challenges, under FERC rules WDT3
2 is now in effect. If FERC rejects any of PG&E’s proposed revisions, it can order PG&E to provide refunds to the City and its other wholesale customers.
For several months, the City and PG&E’s other wholesale customers (intervening parties) participated in settlement discussions with PG&E and reached a partial settlement agreement approved by FERC on June 2, 2022. The partial settlement largely concerned rate issues. The key non-rate issues outlined below remain unresolved and are being litigated at FERC in the WDT3 proceeding.
• Elimination of unmetered load – PG&E would require all unmetered load served by Hetchy, such as streetlights, traffic signals, and bus shelters, to install primary equipment or accept PG&E retail service to continue to receive electric service and function. While the transfer to retail service was expected to occur in July 2022, PG&E and the City have reached an interim waiver agreement where the City can continue serving existing unmetered load while PG&E and the City litigate this issue at FERC. Under the waiver agreement, however, new unmetered load served from the PG&E-owned grid will have to apply to PG&E directly for PG&E retail service. (See further discussion below regarding unmetered load.) • Elimination of any interconnections to PG&E’s “downtown network” – PG&E would prohibit any new load or upgrades to existing load in SF’s downtown area (includes all of Market St. from Embarcadero through Civic Center). • Elimination of all new secondary interconnections – PG&E would prohibit the connection of any loads at secondary despite the size. This prohibition will also apply to existing customers with secondary interconnections if the customer needs to modify the facilities for reasons such as building renovations or decarbonization (increased electrification) of existing buildings.
The City’s protests over these matters is headed towards hearings at FERC in March 2023. PG&E filed its opening testimony on July 22, 2022, and the City filed its answering testimony on September 9, 2022. FERC trial staff will file its answering testimony on October 28, 2022, and PG&E will file its rebuttal on December 23, 2022.
A FERC decision is not expected, at the earliest, until 2024.
VALUATION PETITION:
On July 27, 2021, the City submitted a petition to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting a formal determination of the value of PG&E’s electric assets in San Francisco. This petition serves as the initial step in what will likely be a lengthy process to acquire PG&E’s local electric infrastructure to complete the City’s transition to full public power. Owning the grid would allow San Francisco to deliver clean, reliable and affordable electricity throughout the City. The City would have control over investment in achieving reliability, climate goals and equity in electric service, and in workforce development, while providing transparency and public accountability in rates, service and safety.
3 On September 14, 2021, PG&E filed a motion asking the CPUC to exercise its discretion to decline to hear the petition, which the City had vigorously opposed. On December 14, 2021, the CPUC held a prehearing conference ordering PG&E to appear before the Commission to show cause why the Commission should not proceed to hear the City’s petition. At the hearing, PG&E and the City both addressed the scope of the proceeding, the proposed schedule, and other related matters. On June 24, 2022, the Assigned Commissioner issued a scoping memo and ruling outlining the scope of issues to be addressed and the proceeding schedule.
In response to a request from the Commission, CCSF, PG&E, and California Coalition of Utility Employees (CUE) filed briefs on August 23, 2022 to address the scope of the Commission’s review of the acquisition under Public Utilities Code Section 851, which requires that the Commission approve sales of utility assets, in the event CCSF condemns PG&E’s assets in San Francisco. The briefs also addressed the timing, process and other matters associated with such review. All parties filed reply briefs on September 13, 2022.
PG&E filed a concurrent motion to dismiss or stay the petition until CCSF completes an Environmental Impact Review. CCSF filed a response opposing this motion on September 9, 2022, while CUE filed a response generally supporting PG&E’s motion.
PG&E filed a reply brief on September 20, 2022.
STATUS OF THE CITY’S FERC COMPLAINTS ON APPEAL BEFORE THE DC CIRCUIT:
PG&E’s interpretation of G randfathering and Municipal Load Definition: As we previously informed you, on November 21, 2019, FERC issued an order in the City’s 2014 complaint and related cases rejecting the City’s claim that all of its load is eligible for service under the Federal Power Act without adding new electrical facilities because the City had been serving the same customers for decades. On December 20, 2019, the City filed a request for rehearing of FERC’s order. On June 4, 2020, FERC issued an order on rehearing that, for the most part, affirmed its prior order. The City then filed petitions to review these FERC orders with the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (“D.C. Circuit”).
PG&E requiring primary service for small loads: On April 16, 2020, FERC issued an order dismissing the City’s second complaint against PG&E in which the City claimed that PG&E violated its WDT by demanding primary service for small loads. FERC found that PG&E has the discretion to grant or deny a request for secondary service based on the specifics of each particular request. On May 18, 2020, the City filed a request for rehearing of FERC’s order. On September 17, 2020, FERC issued an order on rehearing sustaining its dismissal of the complaint. The City filed petitions to review these FERC orders with the D.C. Circuit.
4 On January 25, 2022, the D.C. Circuit issued a single opinion that granted San Francisco’s petitions for review of both of the FERC orders discussed above. The court vacated the FERC rulings and remanded the cases for further proceedings, finding that FERC’s decisions “present a troubling pattern of inattentiveness to potential anti- competitive effects of PG&E’s administration of its open-access Tariff.”
FERC has not yet issued any orders following the remand of the matters from the D.C.
Circuit, and there is no deadline for FERC to act on remand. We expect that FERC will soon issue orders specifying the procedures it will follow on the remanded cases.
In the interim, PG&E has relied on FERC’s earlier rulings in its favor to file changes to its WDT in the WDT3 proceedings that reflect those rulings and impose even more obstacles to San Francisco receiving fair service. Those changes are in effect now while FERC reviews them. As a result, the D.C. Circuit remand provides no immediate relief to the City’s electric operations or service to customers.
PG&E’s assignment and documentation of costs for facilities: In January 2020, the City and PG&E participated in an evidentiary hearing before a FERC Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) in a dispute over service to an SFMTA substation at 6 Berry Street. The issues in that proceeding were: (i) whether PG&E is wrongfully charging the City for upgrades to its system; and (ii) whether PG&E’s cost estimates lack sufficient detail.
On July 2, 2020, the ALJ issued an initial decision in which the ALJ found for PG&E on the issue concerning the cost of upgrades and for the City on the issue concerning the cost estimates.
On January 28, 2022, FERC issued a decision that largely affirmed the ALJ’s initial decision, and the City filed a petition for rehearing with FERC. The City also filed a petition for review of the FERC decision with the D.C. Circuit.
On June 16, 2022, FERC issued an order on rehearing that largely affirmed its initial decision. However, in the rehearing decision FERC included language making it clear that its decision in that case would not impact its decision in the WDT3 protest in which the City has raised similar issues about PG&E overcharging the City for upgrades to its system. In light of that decision, the City withdrew its appeal of the 6 Berry decision to the DC Circuit. The City also withdrew a protest it had filed over WDT service to the Golden Gate Park Tennis Center in which the City had raised similar issues about PG&E overcharging for its facilities. These matters will now be addressed and decided in the WDT3 hearings.
UNMETERED LOAD:
As noted earlier, under WDT3 PG&E will no longer offer secondary service to the City and other wholesale customers. This includes service to the City’s unmetered loads, which consist primarily of streetlights, traffic signal lights, and similar small, predictable municipal loads that are billed based on agreed-upon, FERC-approved
5 usage formulas rather than metered usage. In order to continue to operate these City services, the City will either have to take PG&E retail service or spend in excess of $1 billion for large primary equipment that is unnecessary for safety or reliability and perform City-wide disruptive construction.
On December 13, 2021, PG&E filed notices at FERC that would discontinue service to the City’s unmetered load, effective January 31, 2022. The City protested and FERC issued an order suspending the effective date until July 12, 2022. Since the last report, the City and PG&E negotiated an interim tariff and service agreement waiver. Under this waiver agreement, the City will continue to serve its existing unmetered loads while PG&E and the City litigate this issue at FERC in the WDT3 proceeding.
Per the requirements of WDT3 that are now in effect, all new unmetered loads served from the PG&E-owned grid will be required to apply for PG&E retail service. These new unmetered loads are not part of the waiver agreement. Under PG&E’s retail tariffs, PG&E will serve these new streetlights as unmetered load. All other new non- streetlight loads served from the PG&E-owned grid, such as traffic signals and bus shelters, will be required to be metered, at the City’s cost.
As part of the waiver agreement, PG&E and the City have agreed that the prevailing party at FERC will be made “whole” at the conclusion of the FERC proceeding. This means that, should the City lose at FERC, we would have to pay PG&E the difference between the FERC distribution rates we had been paying for our existing, unmetered loads, and the PG&E retail rates the City should have been paying instead. Likewise, should the City prevail at FERC, PG&E will make the City whole by paying the City the difference between the higher PG&E retail rates and the lower wholesale rates we should have been paying instead.
In addition, the wireless industry filed a protest at FERC with regard to these changes and are seeking an interim solution similar to the waiver the City negotiated with PG&E. The City has licensed some of its streetlight poles and MUNI poles to wireless carriers to install antennas and related equipment. The City has been providing power to those facilities, which the SFPUC can no longer do under WDT3. The industry filed the protest because wireless carriers are concerned that the additional costs and delays that will occur if they must obtain electric service from PG&E will hinder their efforts to roll out 5G service in San Francisco. The parties are now in settlement discussions supervised by a FERC Administrative Law Judge.
REPORT SUMMARY:
As the City continues its efforts in fighting for fair access to the grid and decreasing dependence on PG&E, important City projects are still being delayed by PG&E’s obstruction. PG&E continues to impose unnecessary requirements on projects resulting in delays and additional costs.
6 Since October 2018, the SFPUC has reported on 131 projects that have experienced obstruction by PG&E. The total cost impact (additional project costs and loss of revenue to the City) of PG&E’s obstructions since October 2018 has been over $28M.
For the reporting period of July 2022 through September 2022, the SFPUC has identified 52 projects that have experienced interconnection delays, arbitrary requests for additional and/or unnecessary information, or increased project costs, as listed in Attachment A1. Since the last quarterly report, nine projects have been added to the list and one project has been energized. Updates and changes to projects since the previous quarterly report are detailed in Column P of Attachment A1.
With the implementation of WDT3, many new City projects are not eligible for service from the SFPUC and must apply to PG&E for retail service and pay the higher PG&E retail rates for electric service. The seventeen projects that fall into this category are listed in Attachment A2. Four projects were added in this quarter.
Attachment B contains a map providing the location of each project.
Attachment C contains a detailed report of each category of additional incurred costs and impacts to the City per project, such as redesign costs, construction and equipment costs, and additional staff time (also included in the ‘Impacts’ column of Attachment A). The total cost impacts to the City for the sixty-nine projects featured in this report is more than $16 million. Total costs do not include estimated costs for projects that are at a standstill as those costs are still to be determined.
Please find attached the following documents related to this report:
• Attachment A1: List of projects with active interconnection applications to PG&E for electric service as of September 2022
• Attachment A2: List of projects that were released to receive PG&E retail service as of September 2022
• Attachment B: Map of projects with PG&E power connection delays as of September 2022
• Attachment C: Cost impacts

Additional project costs for primary service - $500k for primary switchgear Accommodating primary service equipment and required clearances displaces critical site elements (storage and trash building cannot be in preferred location near street, service access to facility eliminated, and required utility space impinges on paved walking circuit and athletic court clearances). It also reduces the recreational value of park property.

Project delayed - cost impacts TBD. PG&E has already given SF notice that the project will be further delayed due to resource issues on PG&E's end.
PG&E's proposed design required extensive trenching (10 miles combined for the primary and redundant service) for two new mainline connections. This work would delay the project significantly and PG&E has not adequately explained why this new design requires substantially more work and costs than the original design. PG&E's estimates showed SF paying PG&E ~$40M, with the total construction costs being +$100M. Due to these excessive costs, SF has changed its application to a relocation of an existing secondary service. Since, PG&E no longer allows secondary, the service will be upgraded to primary, costs TBD.
Impacts updated to provide detail on how PG&E's excessive cost and equipment requirements have changed the project scope.
Costs of this change are TBD.

Notes:
1. Low-side metering is not the same as secondary service. Low-side metering requires extra equipment costs (i.e. an interrupter, approx. $75k). The SFPUC believes that many of these loads should be served with secondary service, but has compromised with PG&E to move projects forward.
2. Cost impacts related to lost revenue are estimates calculated off of projected load values.
3. Not all cost impacts are reflected here as increased facility and construction costs are still to be determined.
3. CO2 emissions are calculated using estimated loads with PG&E's 2016 emissions factor.
4. Delay impacts are only calculated off of the time in which PG&E and SF were in dispute. (Other delays are not included)
5. Primary switchgear is estimated to cost an additional $500k.

Impacts updated to show estimated lost gross revenue due to PG&E not letting SFPUC serve at secondary.
