RE: City of Hercules Membership Request and Analysis
(Agenda Item #09)
ATTACHMENTS: A. MCE Applicant Analysis Presentation
B. Proposed Resolution 2023-13 Approving Hercules as a
Member of MCE
C. Proposed Amendment 16 to the MCE JPA Agreement
D. Policy 007 – New Customer Communities

Dear Executive Committee Members:

Summary:

The City of Hercules has completed all requirements to formally request membership with MCE and staff has completed a quantitative analysis to assess the associated environmental and financial impacts. The analysis indicates a range of potential financial impacts on MCE dependent upon the cost of electricity in the market at the time of purchase, and a high likelihood of environmental benefits such as incremental increases in renewable energy deliveries and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

Should the Board approve membership, Hercules would be the 16th Contra Costa jurisdiction to join.

Background:

On January 1, 2023, MCE opened an “inclusion period” for interested jurisdictions in both Solano County and Contra Costa County to complete the steps required to join MCE as a member. The inclusion period was established to create efficiencies in workflow, achieve economies of scale, and streamline procurement procedures. Please see the following timeline outlining the City of Hercules’ request.

MCE ~-::rit~~ng Energy Future

CONTRA COSTA I MARIN I NAPA I SOLANO
• January 24, 2023 – MCE staff met with Hercules city staff to share information about MCE
• March 14, 2023 – MCE staff gave an informational presentation to the Hercules City Council
• May 8, 2023 – Hercules City Council passed the first reading of the ordinance to request MCE membership with a 4-1 vote
• May 23, 2023 – Hercules City Council passed the second reading of the ordinance to request MCE membership with a 4-1 vote
• June 13, 2023 – City of Hercules staff provided MCE a copy of the executed ordinance signed by Hercules-Mayor Alexander Walker Griffin On February 8, 2017, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) passed Resolution E-4907, which delays the timeline by which a new member jurisdiction may begin service with a community choice aggregator. If the Board approves the City of Hercules as a new member, they would be eligible to begin MCE service in 2025. For service in 2025, Resolution E-4907 requires the submission of an Addendum to MCE’s Implementation Plan and Statement of Intent by the end of 2023. Customers in Hercules would be eligible for enrollment starting January 1, 2025. Staff would likely recommend enrollment in April 2025, in alignment with the timing of previous new community enrollments.

Hercules Data
Population: Approximately 26,000
Electric Accounts: Approximately 10,000
Load Increase: Approximately 1.3% of MCE’s retail sales Customer Base (Load): 64% residential, 36% non-residential Customer Base (Accounts): 94% residential, 6% non-residential

Fiscal Impacts:

Projected fiscal impacts to MCE range from negative to positive, driven by recent instability of market prices, as displayed in the table below. Fiscal impacts are expected to be limited due to the relatively small size of the Hercules customer base.

Specific budgetary impacts would be reflected in FY 2025/26.

FY 25-26 FY 26-27 FY 27-28
Revenue ($MM) $9.56 $9.61 $9.65
Operating Expenses ($MM)1 $8.4 - $15.4 $8.5 - $15.6 $8.7 - $15.9 Net Operating Margin ($MM) ($5.9) - $1.1 ($6.0) - $1.1 ($6.3) - $0.9 Electricity Sales (MWh) 68,212 68,533 68,896
Avg. Margin (% of Revenue) (61.5%) - 11.7% (62.7%) - 11.0% (63.1%) - 9.8% 1 Range of operating expenses reflect power costs with sensitivity stressors applied to show an array of results that may be realized. Prior to MCE expansion, other implementation costs would be incurred. Such costs may be related to utility service fees (fees paid to PG&E for enrollment, billing, and account services), marketing and outreach, regulatory and legal representation, internal operations, and resource planning and procurement.

Key Assumptions
• Start Date: An April 2025 service commencement is reflected in the current expansion analysis; earliest possible enrollment date per CPUC rules is January 2025
• Customers and Sales: Forecast is based on historical PG&E data and assumes 90% customer participation with 100% of enrollment in Light Green • Revenues: Based on current MCE rates for the enrollment year • Incremental Costs: Include power supply valued at current market prices (per MCE portfolio specifications) with market price sensitivity stressors applied to determine a likely range of results that may be realized, as well as customer billing fees.
• Other implementation costs would be incurred, such as utility service fees (fees paid to PG&E for enrollment, billing, and account services), marketing and outreach, regulatory and legal representation, internal operations, resource planning and procurement.

ENVIRONMENTAL

BENEFITS
• In the first full year (2026) following
expansion, MCE would supply up to
47,868 MWh of renewable energy to
participating customers within the City.
• Expansion would increase sales of
renewable energy within the City by
14,155 MWh per year, relative to
statewide RPS mandates.
• Modest annual CO2e emission
reductions would likely be realized
through MCE service by means of
voluntary renewable energy and large
hydro procurement per MCE’s portfolio
targets relative to statewide RPS
mandates.

9.17.15 POLICY NO. 007 – NEW CUSTOMER COMMUNITIES
Whereas MCE’s founding mission is to address climate change by using a wide range of renewable energy sources, reducing energy related greenhouse gas emissions and promoting the development of energy efficiency programs; and Whereas creating opportunities for customer electric service in new communities may allow MCE to further progress towards its founding mission; and Whereas MCE currently provides a minimum 50% renewable energy supply to all MCE customers (through its default Light Green retail service option), which substantially exceeds similar renewable energy supply percentages provided by California’s investor-owned utilities (IOUs); and
Whereas the inclusion of new communities to MCE’s membership will increase state-wide renewable energy percentages due to 1) MCE’s specified minimum renewable energy supply percentage of 50%, and 2) access to its 100% renewable option; and
Whereas the inclusion of new communities to MCE’s membership will also decrease greenhouse gas emissions within the Western United States as a result of minimum renewable energy supply percentages exceeding such percentages provided by California’s IOUs; and
Whereas the inclusion of new communities reaffirms the viability of community choice aggregation, and provides an incentive for other cities and counties to pursue more renewable energy options within their own jurisdictions.

Therefore, it is MCE’s policy to explore and support customer electric service in new communities to further agency goals.

In consideration of the above MCE may allow access to service in new communities through two channels, affiliate membership or special-consideration membership, as applicable.
