FROM: Technical Committee Chair Dion Bailey, City of Hercules Technical Committee Vice Chair Charles Palmares, City of Vallejo RE: Committee Process for Agenda Setting (Agenda Item #06) ATTACHMENTS: A. City of Hercules City Council Agenda from April 28, 2026 B. City of Vallejo City Council Agenda from April 28, 2026 C. City of Lafayette City Council Agenda from April 27, 2026 D. City of Pinole City Council Agenda from April 21, 2026 Dear Technical Committee Members:

Summary:

MCE’s Technical Committee relies on staff to bring items forward on the agenda when policy setting or guidance is needed for business/operational purposes. In addition, there may be interest among our committee members in discussing additional items within our scope. To ensure efficient operations, and provide a clear path for discussing relevant ideas, we propose a clearly outlined process for members of the Technical Committee who would like to add an item to a future agenda.

Specifically, we propose a standing item at the end of each meeting agenda that would allow for any future agenda item to be proposed and voted on.

This is a common practice used by other public agencies, and samples of such agendas, from the City of Hercules, City of Vallejo, City of Lafayette, and City of Pinole are attached for reference.

Fiscal Impacts:

None
Recommendation:
a. Add a standing item to each Technical Committee meeting agenda as follows:

Member Request for Future Agenda Items* (Discussion/Action) *Committee Members may request items to be considered for future agendas. An item requested by a Committee Member will only be brought forward with a majority vote and it will appear on a future agenda for discussion only. After discussion and a majority vote, the item will be added to a future agenda for action with staff recommendations for further Committee consideration.

b. If recommendation A is approved, the committee may vote on member requests for future agenda items.

Ralph M. Brown Act. Gov. Code § 54950. In enacting this chapter, the Legislature finds and declares that the public commissions, boards and councils and the other public agencies in this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business. It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly. The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies, which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created.

Integrated Resource Plan and
Power Procurement
May 1, 2026
Technical Committee
What is the IRP and How Does it Work?
2 IRP = Integrated Resource Plan
Key Goal: Identify a diverse portfolio
of resources to meet grid reliability
needs & support CA’s Greenhouse
Gas (GHG) emissions reductions
goals.

Overseen by the California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC) and sets
resource planning targets for Load
Serving Entities (LSEs) within its
jurisdiction.

The IRP has two tracks that impact MCE
procurement, budget, and ratepayers:

1. Planning
• Builds Preferred System Plan (PSP)
based on forecasts, policy goals, and
statewide emissions targets.
• LSEs prepare individual plans that
are aggregated and evaluated
against PSP.

2. Procurement
• CPUC evaluates and determines if
there is a need for additional
procurement to fill identified shortfalls.
• This can (and has) lead to mandatory
procurement orders.

How Does MCE Participate in the IRP
3 • MCE regularly engages in advocacy in CPUC-related proceedings to advocate for reasonable forecast and planning assumptions as well as fair procurement obligations.
• Submit IRP plans to the CPUC every two years:
• After development of the PSP, the CPUC allocates a portion of the PSP to individual LSEs like MCE.
• MCE is required to create and submit a “conforming portfolio” for submission to the CPUC.
• The Conforming Portfolio outlines MCE’s model demonstrating that MCE can meet its share of statewide reliability need and GHG targets.
2026 is an IRP year!
2026 IRP Cycle
4 MCE’s 2026 IRP will:
• Demonstrate how MCE reasonably expects to meet California’s emissions and reliability targets over the next 20 years.
o 2026 IRP Cycle Emissions Targets: 25 Million Metric Tons (MMT) by 2035 and 8 MMT by 2045.
• Include a roadmap for clean energy procurement (i.e. solar + storage, geothermal, wind, etc.) MCE plans to procure over the next 20 years, and on what timeline.
• Incorporate MCE Board directives and policies as well as State requirements to develop a prudent planning portfolio.
o MCE Renewable Targets
o CPUC Procurement Mandates
• Seek Board adoption prior to submission to CPUC.

Impacts - What IRP Does and Does Not Do
5 The IRP does NOT
• Determine specific or exact cost impacts for
MCE.
• Select individual projects or contracts that
MCE must procure.
• MCE’s procurement authority resides
with this Board, and however the
Board delegates such authority.
• All future contracts for new resources
will continue to follow that approval
process.
• Align perfectly with market timing or
contract availability to ensure least cost,
optimal portfolios for individual LSEs.

IRP Does
• Directly impacts MCE’s operation
strategy and budget.
• Influences and constrains (but does not
dictate) MCE’s future procurement
efforts.
• Can result in/impact future
procurement mandates if the CPUC
determines that the state requires new
capacity to meet reliability and
emissions requirements.
• Indirect (not 1:1) impact on MCE’s
procurement costs through changes in
market dynamics and resource costs
and availability.

MCE’s 2022 IRP (example)
For the 2022 IRP Cycle, MCE developed one
Conforming Portfolio that:
• Included plans for:
• 1091 MW of new capacity by 2035
• 85% renewable energy content by 2029
• 12% large hydroelectric energy by 2029
• Was consistent with MCE operational and
policy guidelines
• Satisfied all CPUC assigned emissions
limitations, energy, and reliability
requirements

2026 IRP Timeline
MCE does not
set rates for
electric delivery
or natural gas.
• MCE currently plans to discuss and
receive feedback on 2026 IRP at the May
21, 2026, Board Meeting.
• MCE currently plans to bring IRP back to
Board for approval in July 2026 before
submission to CPUC.
• MCE must submit IRP to CPUC by August
10, 2026.
8 Procurement Requirements
Three state-mandated compliance pillars shape every procurement decision MCE makes.

Renewable Portfolio
Standard (RPS)
California requires Load
Serving Entities (LSEs) to
serve 60% of retail sales with
eligible renewables by 2030,
a target MCE reached 13
years ahead of schedule in
2017.

Resource Adequacy
(RA)
CPUC requires MCE to
secure 118% of its peak load
to enable the grid to meet
demand spikes. These
resources are available to
CAISO to dispatch as needed
to meet grid needs.

Integrated Resource
Planning (IRP)
CPUC mandates direct MCE
to procure over 720 MW of
new qualifying capacity by
2032, supporting long-term
grid reliability and
California's path to 100%
clean energy by 2045.
9 RPS Compliance & Renewable Categories
Portfolio Content Category
(PCC) 1
 Bundled: Buyer receives
electricity AND Renewable
Energy Certificates (RECs)
from in-state resources or
those directly delivered into
California without substitution.
 MCE’s procurement efforts are
exclusively focused on PCC1
products
 RPS Compliance: Minimum of
75% of compliance volume
 Bundled: Out of state
renewable generation paired
with imported substitute
energy (firmed & shaped)
 RPS Compliance: Limited use
(up to 25% of mandated
purchases)
 Unbundled - Environmental
attributes sold/bought separately
from electricity; conferred via
REC transfer
 RPS Compliance: Limited use (up
to 10% of mandated purchases)
PCC 2 PCC 3
MCE does NOT actively purchase PCC2 or PCC3 products.
10 How MCE Buys Power
MCE uses three primary contract structures to build a balanced, reliable, and affordable energy portfolio. Each serves a separate but complementary function.

Long-Term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) — ≥10 years
• Approximately 77.5% of MCE's renewable energy currently sourced from long-term contracts • Primary tool for financing new renewable energy construction • Promotes price stability and planning certainty
• Contracts are often signed years before power is delivered — cannot adapt quickly to changing conditions Short-Term PPAs — <10 years
• Fills gaps while long-term projects are being developed (or delayed) • Accommodates short-term portfolio balancing when customer energy use differs from forecast (e.g., weather) • Promotes broad diversity across MCE’s supply portfolio: temporal diversity is an important consideration • Purchased as bundled PCC1 energy — includes both the electricity and RECs • May result in purchases from NEW projects
Index-Plus Contracts (either short- or long-term in duration) • A payment structure, not a separate resource type – PCC1 products can be purchased through index+ contracts • Diversifies MCE’s market price risk (buyer insulated from supply market price volatility via index+ contracts) • Seller keeps CAISO market revenue (as form of payment for electricity); MCE pays a fixed premium for the renewable or carbon-free energy
• Promotes customer rate stability 11
Index-Plus Contracts
 MCE procures some of its specified-source energy through short-term contracts utilizing index-plus payment structures  Index-plus payment structures diversify risk and reduce exposure to market price volatility  Core contracting principles: MCE purchases bundled Renewable Energy (PCC1) or Carbon-free Energy and pays a premium (reflective of the value of the environmental attribute) in addition to the specified CAISO market index price, hence the term “index-plus”  Bundled energy purchased through index-plus contracts ensures that physical energy from a specific resource is generated and delivered to the grid to serve MCE’s customers  The index-plus compensation structure specifies that the seller retain all CAISO energy revenue as payment for the electricity (electrons), leaving only the premium (related to the environmental attribute) to be paid directly by MCE to the seller. 12 Resource Adequacy
13 Resource Adequacy (RA) is for grid reliability, not retail energy supply. • What it is: CPUC capacity requirement for 118% of peak load, ensuring grid reliability during extreme conditions.
• How it works: Contracted capacity resources are available to the grid, not reserved for MCE’s energy needs specifically, unless MCE is also buying the energy from that resource (i.e., Long-term PPAs). CAISO decides when and which RA resources run based on system wide needs.
• Emissions accounting: If an RA resource is dispatched, emissions are attributed to the entity that schedules and takes title to the energy during CAISO market operations.
• RA “Credit”: Generating units are assigned RA “credit” based on their specific operating characteristics. Solar and wind have lower credit relative to firm resources (geothermal, thermal) and batteries are losing significant “credit” over next 5 years. “Credit” is referred to as “Net Qualifying Capacity”.

Resource Adequacy
14 • The fossil fuel question: MCE does not directly procure natural gas as part of its energy supply for customers. However, some Resource Adequacy is sourced from existing natural gas facilities. MCE is actively replacing this with battery storage and clean firm resources. • Progress: Over 860 MW of nameplate capacity from renewable resources expected to come online in the next six years.
• NQC changes over time: Some contracted solar now provides less RA than originally expected; MCE is working to replace this with storage and clean firm capacity. • In 2026, MCE expects to meet 38% of its peak RA need (September hour ending 18) with carbon-free RA. 2031 is the first year MCE expects its peak RA to be 100% carbon-free. • MCE will still have natural gas in its RA portfolio. This methodology relies on Slice of Day September peak hour and 2026 Net Qualifying Capacity (NQC). • Actual percentages in future years will depend on MCE’s requirements, posted NQCs, and online dates of new contracted resources.

Why Short-Term Contracts Matter
Removing short-term renewable and GHG-free purchases would dramatically reduce the amount of clean energy used to meet MCE retail sales and RPS targets as new clean projects are being built.

This clean energy reduction would mean significantly higher reported emissions for MCE’s portfolio while our new-build renewable projects are being constructed.

Label result
Numbers determined using the 2024 California Energy Commission Power Source Disclosure template methodology. 15 Four Reasons We Need Short-Term Contracts
01 Load Forecast Uncertainty
MCE cannot perfectly predict future demand.

Large customers come and go; customers opt
in/out of Deep Green; electrification reshapes
demand. Short-term contracts let us adjust
without being locked into wrong-sized long-term commitments, better for hourly accounting. 02 Multi-Year Project Development
Timelines and Delays
Many new renewable projects are delayed due
to transmission constraints. Short-term contracts
with operating resources ensure reliable
delivery while new-build projects come online.
03 Technology Diversity
MCE's long-term portfolio is solar-heavy, so
short-term contracts for wind, geothermal, and
hydro can generate power when solar isn't
producing. This reduces hourly emissions and
better matches MCE's actual customer demand.
04 Price Risk Management
Executing contracts at different times and
lengths diversifies portfolio risk. Observing
temporal diversity when buying energy avoids
over-exposure to discrete market conditions. A
mix of short- and long-term contracts minimizes
“planning cliffs” that could occur if several long-term commitments expired at the same time. 16 Energy Hedging: Promoting
Budgetary Certainty & Rate Stability
Think of hedging like insurance: you lock in a rate today to protect against higher costs tomorrow.
• Hedges are fixed-price energy contracts
that mitigate exposure to variable CAISO
prices.
• Hedges help LSEs manage mismatch
between hourly demand and renewable
production and price volatility from weather
events, outages, or demand swings.
• Two main types: energy price hedges
(market-based price differences) and
congestion hedges (location-based price
differences).

Without Hedges
Cost swings when market prices spike
due to heat waves, wildfires, or supply
disruptions, threaten rate stability for
customers.

With Hedges
MCE manages price volatility, promoting
customer rate stability and predictability.
17 What MCE Has Built Through Long-Term
Contracts
~77.5%
of MCE renewable
energy from long-term
contracts (2026)*
46+ MW
of new renewables built
directly in MCE's service
area
1,100+ MW
of new renewables built
statewide to serve MCE
customers
638 MW
of renewable energy
contracted in 13 new
long-term agreements
since 2021
Energy Storage: 7 long-term contracts secured for 774 MW of storage — shifting renewable energy to hours of peak demand and adding grid reliability. A benefit for hourly accounting & energy cost.

MCE also offers a Feed-in Tariff program providing direct incentives for new clean energy projects within our service area — supporting hyperlocal renewable development. *2026 results will depend on load and portfolio optimization. 18 The Path Forward
Real challenges face new renewable development. No single contract type can meet reliability, clean energy, and cost goals on its own—this is why we use a balanced portfolio.

CHALLENGES
Grid Congestion: 86+ GW of Net Qualifying
Capacity in CAISO interconnection queue*
Permitting Backlogs: Federal land permits
backlogged; siting challenges for geothermal,
wind, and large solar + storage
Supply Chain Risk: Tariff uncertainty increasing
costs and delaying equipment delivery
Financing Uncertainty: Tax credit reductions
and unclear Treasury guidance
Regulatory Complexity: Evolving CEC and
CPUC rules risk long-term contract valuations

MCE'S APPROACH
✓ Balance long- and short-term contracts to
manage risk, cost, and compliance
✓ Prioritize long-term, new-build renewable
contracts whenever available and cost-effective
✓ Short-term PPAs as a bridge, not a substitute,
while new projects built & interconnected
✓ Invest in battery storage + renewables to
reduce reliance on fossil-backed RA
✓ Advocate for policy and regulatory
changes that reduce development barriers
