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 the Resolution, 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.” We are providing this report to the Board to keep them informed of these issues.
HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS QUARTER’S REPORT
• 84 active projects have experienced interconnection delays or increased project costs due to PG&E’s obstruction.
o 1 project was cancelled; and
o 4 projects were added
• Total cost impact (additional project costs and loss of revenue to the City) of PG&E’s obstructions since the first report submitted in November 2018 is more than $58M. o The total cost impact to the City for the 84 projects featured in this quarter’s report is approximately $36M.
• The City and PG&E have reached a settlement in principle on certain issues that were litigated at FERC related to PG&E’s Wholesale Distribution Tariff (WDT3). o An initial decision by the Administrative Law Judge for the remaining issues was issued on May 17, 2024. We are waiting for FERC to issue a final decision.
• PG&E filed its fourth WDT (WDT4) on October 25, 2024 (effective December 25, 2024.)
• San Francisco’s Valuation petition at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is ongoing.
Should you have any questions about this report, please contact Barbara Hale, SFPUC Assistant General Manager, Power, at [email protected] and 415-613-6341.
Sincerely,
Dennis J. Herrera
General Manager
1 DECEMBER 2024 QUARTERLY REPORT
I. Background
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission ( SFPUC) provides retail electric service from our Hetch Hetchy Power public utility (Hetchy) to approximately 6,300 customer accounts by relying on our Hetch Hetchy generation and other sources for supply. The City and County of San Francisco (City) pays Pacific Gas and Electric Company ( PG&E) about $60 million per year to provide transmission and wholesale distribution services regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). PG&E’s Wholesale Distribution Tariff (WDT) describes the terms and conditions of these purchased services. In September 2020, PG&E filed an update to the WDT (WDT3,) that significantly decreased the City’s ability to serve important City projects. PG&E continues to obstruct City pro jects with costly requirements and delays necessitating on-going litigation. In addition to continuing efforts to fight for fair access to the grid in the near term, the City is seeking to purchase the PG&E -owned electric grid within San Francisco. This wi ll allow San Francisco to expand the City’s full -service publicly owned electric utility and eliminate our dependence on PG&E for electric service within the City.
1. Current Status of Projects Facing PG&E Obstruction
Since November 2018 , 171 projects have been obstructed by PG&E , including four new projects this quarter. Please find attached the following documents related to this report.
• Attachment A1, Projects with Active Applications lists the 41 projects that have experienced interconnection delays, arbitrary requests for additional and/or unnecessary information, or increased project costs for the reporting period of July 2024 to November 2024. Updates and changes to projects since the previous quarterly report are detailed in Column O of Attachment A1. • Attachment A2, Projects Released for Retail PG&E Service under WDT3 lists the 43 City projects that were forced to get PG&E retail service due to PG&E's requirements or outrageous costs. These projects will pay the higher PG&E retail rates for electric service. • Attachment B, Map of Interconnection Issues contains a map providing the location of each project, marked with an icon indicating the type of service provided. • Attachment C, Cost Impacts 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 (these costs and impacts are also included in the ‘Impacts’ column of Attachment A1 and A2).
II. Ongoing PG&E Protests and Litigation
1. WDT3 Litigation
PG&E’s WDT3 filing seeks to eliminate service that the City has historically used to provide important City services. More specifically, PG&E is requiring primary voltage service for all new or modified interconnections. Primary voltage equipment is large and expensive and is normally required for large developments. This requirement is forcing projects to either incur additional costs and lose usable project space to install unnecessary equipment or take service from PG&E retail instead of Hetchy. The main issues in the table below were litigated at FERC in the WDT3 proceeding. The City and PG&E have reached a 2 settlement agreement in principle regarding the treatment of secondary voltage requests (issues 1-3 in the table below). On May 17, 2024, a FERC Administrative Law Judge issued a favorable partial initial decision on the City’s protest over PG&E’s proposed costs for upgrades and direct assigned facilities (issues 4 and 5 in the table below). The initial decision found that PG&E’s treatment of the costs of upgrades to the distribution system and direct assignment facilities used by the City under the WDT is unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory. PG&E did not challenge the initial decision’s findings on the treatment of upgrades. A final decision from the FERC Commission is still pending.
Infrastructure affected Impact Status
1 Elimination of
Service to
Unmetered
Load
Streetlights, traffic signals,
bus shelters, ShotSpotter
devices, emergency sirens,
street furniture, news racks,
and similarly small electric
loads often located in the
public right of way.
All unmetered load served by
Hetchy will need to install
primary equipment to connect to
the PG&E-owned grid or accept
PG&E retail service to continue
to receive electric service and
function.
PG&E and the City have
reached a settlement in
principle.
2 Elimination of
Service on
PG&E’s
Downtown
Network
Downtown area (includes
all of Market Street from
Embarcadero through Civic
Center.)
Connecting new loads or upgrades
to existing loads connected to the
PG&E-owned grid in San
Francisco’s downtown area will
be prohibited.
PG&E and the City have
reached a settlement in
principle.
3 Elimination of
New Secondary
Connections
Most Hetchy municipal
customers, like schools,
public restrooms,
libraries, parks, health
clinics, firehouses, City
department offices.
When existing facilities undergo
renovations (like those for de-
carbonization) they will need to
install primary equipment to
connect to the PG&E-owned
grid or accept PG&E retail
service to continue to receive
electric service and function.
PG&E and the City have
reached a settlement in
principle.
4 Assignment of
Costs for
Upgrades to
PG&E’s
System
Any City project that
PG&E decides requires an
upgrade to PG&E’s
distribution system.
Projects are at risk of incurring
excessive costs to upgrade
PG&E’s infrastructure and build
out PG&E’s grid. PG&E retail
customers benefit from this,
while PG&E makes a rate of
return on this equipment. Since
2018 City projects have paid
~$13M to PG&E for these
upgrades.
PG&E did not challenge the
initial decision that the cost
of upgrades is unjust,
unreasonable, and unduly
discriminatory. We are
waiting for a FERC final
ruling on this issue.
5 Costs for
Direct
Assignment
Facilities
Every City project needs
direct assignment facilities
to connect to PG&E’s
distribution system.
Projects are at risk of incurring
excessive costs for Direct
Assignment Facilities. PG&E
charges its retail customers less
than its wholesale customers for
similar facilities.
PG&E challenged the initial
decision that the cost of
direct assignment facilities
is unjust, unreasonable, and
unduly discriminatory. We
are waiting for a FERC
ruling on this issue.
3 2. WDT4 Filing and Protest
PG&E filed WDT4 on October 25, 2024. PG&E is seeking a 15% rate increase as well as an increase in its return on equity from 10.24% to 12.3%. While PG&E did not change the language from WDT3 on secondary voltage service, which the City protested, the WDT3 settlement (mentioned above) ensures that the City can continue to obtain secondary voltage service under the WDT for another ten years. The cost issues the City protested in WDT3 (issues 4 and 5 above) remain in PG&E’s WDT4. FERC’s decision in WDT3 could impact the resolution of those issues in WDT4.
The City filed a Motion to Intervene and Protest on November 15, 2024, which includes a request for a five-month extension request on the effective date of WDT4. We expect FERC to rule on the extension request soon, and to issue an order requiring the parties to attempt to settle the issues raised by the City and other WDT customers in their protests.
3. FERC Orders on Remand – Grandfathering and Voltage
Grandfathering – On October 20, 2022, FERC ruled in the City’s favor and confirmed that the City can continue to provide public power to broad categories of municipal customers that it has been serving since 1992, without new electrical facilities. The types of customer s that were grandfathered include City departments and agencies as well as related entities that serve a civic purpose like schools, museums, public housing, and tenants on City property. Though this was a favorable decision, PG&E has not changed its previous practices. PG&E has appealed FERC’s order and the City has intervened in that appeal. PG&E filed its brief in that appeal with the D.C. Circuit on August 29, 2023 . FERC submitted it s brief on November 27, 2023, the City filed its intervenor brief on December 4, 2023, and PG&E filed a reply brief on January 16, 2024. The City participated in oral arguments before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on May 1, 2024. On August 23, 2024, the D.C. Circuit ruled in favor of PG&E finding that FERC’s class - based interpretation of the grandfathering provision to be improper. The D.C. Circuit heavily relied on a recent Supreme Court ruling that has overturned decades-long precedent that gave administrative agencies deference while interpreting federal laws. The Court vacated and remanded the issue back to FER C. We are awaiting FERC’s decision on remand that will clarify which specific customers or points of delivery qualify for grandfathering.
Voltage – On December 15, 2022, FERC ruled in the City’s favor and took issue with PG&E’s requirement of primary voltage service in most cases. The parties have reached a limited-term agreement on these issues that allows a limited number of projects to move forward with secondary service for the next five years .
The Board approved the settlement on February 6, 2024 in Ordinance No. 27-24.
4. Unmetered Load
As noted above, PG&E no longer offers secondary service to the City and other wholesale customers. This includes service to the City’s unmetered loads, which are mainly streetlights, traffic signal systems, and similar small, predictable municipal loads that are billed based on FERC -approved usage formulas rather than metered usage. To operate these loads, the City either must pay more for PG&E retail service or spend in excess of $1 billion for large primary equipment that is unnecessary for safety or reliability purposes and causes City-wide disruptions. PG&E and the City have an agreement in place that allows the City to continue to provide unmetered service to these loads during the pendency of the WDT3 matter at FERC.
This issue could be resolved by the WDT3 settlement agreement in principle mentioned above.

Delay Impact: PG&E gave SF notice that the project will be delayed due to resource issues on PG&E's end. PG&E's proposed design in May 2022 required extensive trenching (10+ miles) for two new mainline connections. This work would delay the project significantly and PG&E never adequately explained why this new design requires substantially more work and costs than the original design. SFPUC awaits the final design from PG&E for the existing power service relocation. PG&E also confirmed adjusting the final design and service agreement date to 8/4/2023 (from 1/15/2024). The committed timeline continues to have time/cost impacts to construction project for utility relocatio n. PG&E energized the equipment without PUC engineers being onsite. PG&E erroneously removed PUC's Lock Out Tag Out tags--this is not good utility practice. This situation is concerned a "near miss" and could have seriously injured PUC staff.
Cost Impact:
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, estimated costs $395,488.20; per PG&E in October 2022.
Project was energized in November 2024 and will be removed from the next quarter's report.

PG&E requested 4 month extension from original due date of 4/18/2023 to 8/11/2023, and then finally submitted the SIS report on 12/8/2023. This is a 160 business days delay. Further delays caused by PG&E delaying the delivery of the revised SIS from 11/25/2024 to 2/3/2025 this is an additional 45 business days delay.
The generating facility delays have been caused by numerous requests for PG&E to provide technical review feedback for compliance with the interconnection agreement.
SFPUC awaited the final review, approvals and field shutdown coordination from PG&E for the existing power service interconnection.
Cost Impact: These delays above have time/cost impacts and are estimated to be $14M or more. These costs include ~$9.4M in contractor claims regarding the delays; and ~$4.6M in extended overhead project costs.
Updated to include further delays caused by PG&E not providing the revised SIS on time.

12/10/2021 5/19/2022 6/1/2023 N/A 11,000 kW/No Y
Delay Impact: Delays caused by PG&E not providing the System Impact Study (SIS) report on time and requesting that the project reduce the total load size for both the industrial use and mixed-use applications together to not exceed 12,000 kW, due to PG&E claiming limited available grid capacity. Given this, the project cancelled the industrial use application below and updated the load size of the mixed-use application from 7,800 kW to 11,000 kW. This load size increase triggered a new SIS which has caused further delays to a 3-level bus yard (involving battery electric bus infrastructure) and an affordable housing development project (up to 575 units.)
Due to these delays, the new permanent power need date has been updated to July 2027.

Delay Impact: Delays caused by PG&E unilaterally significantly reducing the load requested and not responding to SF's questions regarding load calculations in the System Impact Study draft agreement. Due to the urgency of the project, SF has agreed to move forward with PG&E's lower load calculations and will apply to PG&E for additional capacity when the load ramps up. Project has interim capacity needs between phase 1 and phase 2 of this project and anticipates PG&E not being able to meet the necessary energization timelines requested.
Phase 1 included switchgear (permanent delivery point for the project) and initial service point energization. SF is working with PG&E to provide additional capacity for phase 2 (multiphase) expansion.
Cost Impact: PG&E is requiring SF to construct offsite infrastructure for PG&E to serve the load that is typically done by PG&E - cost is TBD.
PG&E is charging the project ~$5.3M for upgrades to their own distribution system that will benefit PG&E's retail customers.

Delay Impact: Delays caused by PG&E unilaterally significantly reducing the load requested and not responding to SF's questions regarding load calculations in the System Impact Study draft agreement. Due to the urgency of the project, SF has agreed to move forward with PG&E's lower load calcs and will apply to PG&E for additional capacity when the load ramps up. PG&E's long lead time for engineering/ design may cause delay in Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) of new buildings. Phase 1 of this project has been delayed due to PG&E delaying the draft Service Agreement by ~2 months.
Cost Impact: PG&E is requiring SF to construct offsite infrastructure for PG&E to serve the load that is typically done by PG&E - cost is TBD.

In construction 10/26/2020 1/28/2022 6/1/2021 Yes 305 kW/Yes N Delay Impact: Delays caused by PG&E providing the Service Agreement late. Project delays can lead to potential delay in school building opening which may result in only partial occupancy of building for 2023-24 school year and beyond. PG&E originally promised to provide the final Service Agreement no later than May 2023. However, PG&E further delayed the final Service Agreement to August 2023.
Cost Impact: Due to the above delay the project will incur a monthly general contractor contract extension fee of approximately $20k per month with a total of approximately $240k for a one-year delay in construction. Additional project costs for primary service - $345k for primary switchgear and related labor costs.

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.
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.

Note: These represent estimates of the costs that the City is aware of at the moment. The projects may incur additional costs going forward.
The projects in RED are projects that are currently at a standstill and may face financial impacts that are TBD depending on how long they will be delayed and how they will move forward. *When calculating "Additional Costs to Project for PG&E retail service", the estimated value is either an annual estimate or for the length of the project (for temporary projects). **The costs for #11 Transbay Transit Center are still being verified. See Attachment A for more details. *** These projects are moving forward under the Voltage Settlement.
