FY 2022-23 4th Quarter Budget Report
Laura Busch
Acting Deputy CFO
September 20, 2023
2 • Positive operating results projected for Water, Wastewater, Power, and CleanPowerSF
• Water and Wastewater: Revenues are down from budget due to lower recovery from the drought and lower demand from a longer wet season.
The drought surcharge was also removed effective May 2023. This is offset by additional revenue from real estate sales.
• Power: revenues projected to exceed budget due to higher wholesale energy prices, but lower compared to Q3. Power purchase, and transmission and distribution costs have also lowered compared to Q3, resulting in savings
• CleanPowerSF: revenues are projected to exceed budget due to increased power sales. Power purchase and transmission, and distribution costs have also lowered compared to Q3, resulting in savings • Year-end financial results projected to meet or exceed policy targets • The quarter 4 report is a projection with final year end results published in the Comprehensive Financial Report

CleanPowerSF 51.3 - 5.9 26.8 32.7 - 84.0
Summary:
• Positive year end operating results projected for Water, Wastewater, Power, and CleanPowerSF.
• Water & Wastewater: Overall year end revenues are down from budget. Retail and Wholesale volumes are lower than expected compared to Quarter 3 due to lower demand recovery from the drought and lower usage due to a longer wet season. The drought surcharge was also removed effective May 2023. For the Water Enterprise, this is offset by additional revenue from the $11.4M sale
of Balboa Reservoir and $1.4M sale of Francisco Reservoir. Both enterprises also have slightly higher interest income than budgeted for the year.
• In both Water and Wastewater: Expenditure savings are projected from lower labor costs due to vacant positions, lower bureau overhead, and savings in debt service payments.
• Power: Overall year end results are higher than budget. o Retail sales are projected to be below budget; however, this does not reflect unanticipated poor performance. The retail revenue budget includes an additional $15.5M that was not adjusted downwards in the budget to match assumptions in the final Power Rate Study. The Rate Study was adopted in late May 2022, which did not allow time for the FY 2022-23 budget to be adjusted before adoption.
o Wholesale revenues are projected to significantly exceed the budget due to higher power prices combined with higher
generation due to the winter storms. But due to negative pricing for excess energy sales in Quarter 3, generation is lower compared to the previous quarter.
o On the expense side, the shortfall in “pass through” gas and steam costs to other city departments remains the same.
These additional costs will be covered via workorder
recoveries.
o Note that a $17M budget adjustment was made during
Quarter 3 to support higher costs related to the transmission and distribution of power. This is reflected in the revised budget column. Compared to Quarter 3, costs related to
power purchases are now expected to net a surplus along with savings from bureau overhead costs.
• CleanPowerSF: The revenue budget was revised upward by $8.3M in Q4 to account for higher than anticipated energy prices and the volatility in the power market. Yearend revenues are still projected to exceed the revised budget due to higher sales than anticipated.
In addition, power prices and CAISO costs have lowered since Quarter 3 resulting in a projected surplus in the power purchase budget. Note that there was $31.5M in increases made to the CleanPowerSF power purchase budget during the fiscal year to cover the higher than anticipated power purchase costs (reflected in the revised budget column).
• All enterprises are projected to meet or exceed financial policy minimums and coverage ratios at year end.
The Quarter 4 report is a projection with final year end results published in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. If you have questions, please contact me at [email protected].

The Indenture requires this ratio to be a minimum of 1.25 times, and SFPUC's Debt Service Coverage Policy requires this ratio to be a minimum of 1.35 times.
L. Calculated as ratio between (a) Total Sources plus any appropriated fund balance, plus Capacity Charges, less Operating Uses less Facilities Maintenance/Programmatic, excluding all revenues and expenses related to the 525 Golden Gate COPs, and (b) Debt Service. SFPUC's Debt Service Coverage Policy requires this ratio to be a minimum of
1.10 times.
A. Year end retail water sales were 52.2 MGD, a 3.3% decrease from budgeted volumes of 54.0 MGD, and a 0.4% decrease from prior year actuals of 52.4 MGD.
B. Wholesale water sales forecasted to be 118.5 MGD, a 4.2% increase from budgeted volumes of 113.7 MGD, and a 7.7% decrease from prior year actuals of 128.4 MGD.
D. Year end rental revenues came in slightly greater than budget.
Expenditure Variances
J. Calculated as Ending Available Fund Balance (including additions to General Reserve) as a percent of Operating Uses plus Facilities Maintenance/Programmatic Uses. SFPUC's Fund Balance Reserve Policy requires this to be within a range of 25-68%.
F. Savings due to vacant positions.
C. Interest rate of 1.2% is higher compared to budget of 0.5%.
H. Savings reflect lower spending associated with bureau allocation.
G. Savings reflect lower spending associated with customer rebate and incentive programs.
E. Miscellaneous income higher than budget due to sales of assets and land: $11.4M related to Balboa Reservoir and $1.4M for Francisco Reservoir. These increased revenues were offset by lower than budgeted collection of water service installation charges.
I. Debt Service variance due to revised repayment commencement of the Westside Recycled Water Project SRF Loan to align with updated construction schedule.

F. Transmission and distribution costs are higher than original budgeted assumptions. Transmission is $5M higher and distribution is $9M higher. Costs are partially offset by $4M appropriated reserve for power purchase, $3M in carryforwards and lower projected CAISO costs compared to Q3. A $17M transfer from General Reserve was also used to support higher power costs during the year.
B. Wholesale sales are higher than budget mainly due to higher power prices.

I. Calculated as Ending Available Fund Balance as a percent of Operating Uses plus Facilities Maintenance/Programmatic Uses. SFPUC's Fund Balance Reserve Policy requires this to be at least 50% within three years of policy adoption (April of 2022).
E. $31.5M was appropriated in FY2023 to cover higher than anticipated power costs to purchase energy due to a volatile and expensive power market. However, market costs fell in the last quarter and resulted in savings against the conservative budget.

CleanPowerSF
FY 2022-23 4th Quarter - Budgetary Basis - 24750, 24761, 24762, 24765 & 24870 ($ Millions)
FY 2022-23
A. Revenues slightly higher than budget due to higher load. The revenue budget also reflects a $8.3M supplemental appropriation to cover higher than anticipated costs to purchase energy due to volatile and expensive power market.
B. Interest rate is higher than budget.
D. Salary savings due to vacant positions.
H. Available fund balance at fiscal year end is calculated within this report by taking beginning fund balance, less any fund balance budgeted to be used as a source, and adding the projected variances as well as project closeouts. As the CleanPowerSF Trust Fund is a continuing fund, amounts budgeted therein will automatically roll forward to the following year and will not be closed out to fund balance. As such, v
ariances related to revenues, purchase of power, and general reserves will not close out to fund balance at the end of the year without manual intervention. However as those funds are not considered restricted and CleanPowerSF may choose to close them out to fund balance, we are presenting them here as part of fund balance.
F. General Reserve was intentionally budgeted and planned to go unspent to build reserves. However, a $23.2M transfer was made to Power Purchases to cover higher than anticipated costs to purchase energy due to volatile and expensive power market.
G. Includes $4.6M in funds from the State via PG&E to implement the Energy Efficiency Community Food Service Program.
