6 The Board approved a Finance Committee consisting of 5 to 7 Board representatives. If Director Alessio were to participate in her capacity as the delegate for four Napa Cities, the Finance Committee would effectively have 9 Board representatives, more than the 7 approved by the Board, and Director Alessio would constitute a quorum by herself, raising Brown Act compliance challenges. Given the current size of the Finance Committee, we construe the Board to have appointed Director Alessio to the Committee solely in her capacity as the MCE Board representative for Napa County. 7 Created by Resolution No. 2026-01.

MCE Technical Committee Overview
Scope
The scope of the MCE Technical Committee is to explore, discuss and provide direction or approval on issues related to electricity supply, distributed generation, greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency, procurement risk management and other topics of a technical nature.

Frequent topics include electricity generation technology and procurement, greenhouse gas accounting and reporting, energy efficiency programs and technology, energy storage technology, net energy metering tariff, local solar rebates, electric vehicle programs and technology, Feed-in Tariff activity and other local development, Light Green, Deep Green and Local Sol power content planning, long term integrated resource planning, regulatory compliance, MCE’s Energy Risk Management Policy (ERMP), procurement risk oversight, and other activity related to the energy sector. The MCE Technical Committee reviews and discusses new technologies and potential application by MCE.

Authority
• Approval of and changes to MCE’s Net Energy Metering Tariff • Approval of and changes to MCE’s Feed in Tariff
• Approval of annual greenhouse gas emissions level and related reporting • Approval of MCE procurement pursuant to Resolution 2018-03 or its successor • Approval of MCE procurement-related certifications and reporting, including the Power Content Label
• Approval of contracts with vendors for technical programs or services, energy efficiency program or services and procurement functions or services • Approval of power purchase agreements
• Approval of adjustments to power supply product offerings • Approval of the Integrated Resource Plan
• Receipt of reports from the Risk Oversight Committee (ROC) on at least a quarterly basis regarding the ROC’s meetings, deliberations, and any other areas of concern • Initiation of and oversight of a review of the implementation of the ERMP as necessary • Approval of substantive changes to MCE’s Energy Risk Management Policy (ERMP), including periodic review of the ERPM and periodic review of ERPM implementation Committee Member Selection Process
MCE strives to assemble a Technical Committee comprised of at least one county representative and one city/town representative from each county in the MCE service area.

Available seats on the Technical Committee are therefore first offered to any interested and applicable Board member whose county is not yet represented by one county and one city/town member. Interested members can be added at a meeting of the Board when it is included in the agenda.

The Technical Committee selects its own chair for a term of one year. The Technical Committee Chair is limited to two one-year terms.

RE: Board of Directors Voting Shares Update (Agenda Item # 05 C.4) ATTACHMENTS: A. MCE Joint Powers Agreement
B. Exhibit C to the MCE Joint Powers Agreement: Annual Energy Use C. Exhibit D to the MCE Joint Powers Agreement: Voting Shares Dear Board Members:

Summary:

The MCE Joint Powers Agreement (“JPA”), attached hereto as Attachment A, provides for two types of voting methods. “General administrative matters” are to be decided with each member community having one vote. Matters “related to the CCA Program” are decided by the “voting shares” method, consisting of a vote of Directors and by voting shares based on proportionate energy usage. MCE’s voting shares are to be updated annually, as per Section 4.9.2.2 of the JPA, to reflect changes in MCE’s total annual energy as well as changes and/or additions to MCE’s member communities. The purpose of this item is to update voting shares based on the most current data available.

Background:

MCE voting shares are determined via a two-step process, which considers the following factors: 1) the current number of MCE member communities (Section 4.9.2.1 of the JPA); and 2) the annual energy use of each member community relative to MCE’s total annual energy, which is the sum of all member communities’ annual energy use (Section 4.9.2.2 of the JPA). Each factor is expressed as a ratio with a weight of 50% ascribed.

The first factor (total number of MCE member communities) results in an equal voting share for each MCE member community: this fractional voting share is currently 1.32% for each MCE member community, derived through the following calculation: 1/38 * 50% = 1.32%. The second factor is derived by determining the ratio of each member community’s annual energy use to MCE’s total annual energy; the resultant ratio is also multiplied by 50%. For example, if annual energy use within the unincorporated County of Napa is 277 GWh and MCE’s total annual energy is 5,544 GWh, the County of Napa’s load-related voting share is 2.50%: 277/5,544 * 50% = 2.50%. As a result, the County of Napa’s total MCE voting share would be 3.82% (2.50% + 1.32%). The voting share will vary by community.

At this time, MCE has the necessary data to update its total annual energy, the annual energy use of each member community, and the voting shares calculation. Accordingly, MCE has prepared revised Exhibits C and D to the JPA, which reflect the results of these updated calculations. Exhibit C displays each member community’s annual energy use as well as MCE’s total annual energy. Exhibit D displays key elements of MCE’s voting shares calculations, consistent with Sections 4.9.2.1 and

4.9.2.2 of the JPA, and reflects the voting share attributable to each member community.1 Pursuant to Section 4.9.2.2 of the JPA, Exhibit C is to be adjusted annually to properly update the voting shares. As per Section 4.9.2.3 of the JPA, Exhibit D may be updated to reflect revised annual energy use amounts and any changes in the parties to the JPA without amending the JPA, provided the Board is given a copy of the updated Exhibit D. Therefore, MCE staff is providing a copy of the updated Exhibit D which reflects the revised and updated voting shares of the current MCE member communities. The updated Exhibits C and D referenced in this staff report will replace the existing Exhibits C and D within the JPA.

Fiscal Impacts:

None.

Recommendation:

Accept the updated Exhibit C and Exhibit D to the MCE Joint Powers Agreement. 2 1 As the City of Hercules launched service in April 2025, we do not yet have a full calendar year of MCE-specific meter data associated with Hercules. This update therefore relies on the most recent data from PG&E, which is the usage data for the expansion analysis that resulted in the addition of Hercules. This approach is consistent with prior voting shares updates when new communities were added. For example, the 2023 voting shares update relied on 2020 data for Fairfield (see item 5.C.3 of the June 15, 2023 Board packet). The 2027 voting shares update will rely on 2026 MCE-specific meter data for all communities, including Hercules. 2 This item is a general administrative matter. Action requires a majority vote of board members present for a motion to carry.

JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
This Joint Powers Agreement (“Agreement”), effective as of December 19, 2008, is made and entered into pursuant to the provisions of Title 1, Division 7, Chapter 5, Article 1 (Section 6500 et seq.) of the California Government Code relating to the joint exercise of powers among the parties set forth in Exhibit B (“Parties”). The term “Parties” shall also include an incorporated municipality or county added to this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.1.

RECITALS

1. The Parties are either incorporated municipalities or counties sharing various powers under California law, including but not limited to the power to purchase, supply, and aggregate electricity for themselves and their inhabitants.

2. In 2006, the State Legislature adopted AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act, which mandates a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 to 1990 levels.

The California Air Resources Board is promulgating regulations to implement AB 32 which will require local government to develop programs to reduce greenhouse emissions.

3. The purposes for the Initial Participants (as such term is defined in Section 2.2 below) entering into this Agreement include addressing climate change by reducing energy related greenhouse gas emissions and securing energy supply and price stability, energy efficiencies and local economic benefits. It is the intent of this Agreement to promote the development and use of a wide range of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency programs, including but not limited to solar and wind energy production.

4. The Parties desire to establish a separate public agency, known as the Marin Energy Authority (“Authority”), under the provisions of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of the State of California (Government Code Section 6500 et seq.) (“Act”) in order to collectively study, promote, develop, conduct, operate, and manage energy programs.

5. The Initial Participants have each adopted an ordinance electing to implement through the Authority Community Choice Aggregation, an electric service enterprise agency available to cities and counties pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Section 366.2 (“CCA Program”). The first priority of the Authority will be the consideration of those actions necessary to implement the CCA Program. Regardless of whether or not Program Agreement 1 is approved and the CCA Program becomes operational, the parties intend for the Authority to continue to study, promote, develop, conduct, operate and manage other energy programs.

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and conditions hereinafter set forth, it is agreed by and among the Parties as follows:

FORMATION OF MARIN ENERGY AUTHORITY

2.1 Effective Date and Term. This Agreement shall become effective and Marin Energy Authority shall exist as a separate public agency on the date this Agreement is executed by at least two Initial Participants after the adoption of the ordinances required by Public Utilities Code Section 366.2(c)(10). The Authority shall provide notice to the Parties of the Effective Date. The Authority shall continue to exist, and this Agreement shall be effective, until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7.4, subject to the rights of the Parties to withdraw from the Authority.

2.2 Initial Participants. During the first 180 days after the Effective Date, all other Initial Participants may become a Party by executing this Agreement and delivering an executed copy of this Agreement and a copy of the adopted ordinance required by Public Utilities Code Section 366.2(c)(10) to the Authority.

Additional conditions, described in Section 3.1, may apply (i) to either an incorporated municipality or county desiring to become a Party and is not an Initial Participant and (ii) to Initial Participants that have not executed and delivered this Agreement within the time period described above.

2.3 Formation. There is formed as of the Effective Date a public agency named the Marin Energy Authority. Pursuant to Sections 6506 and 6507 of the Act, the Authority is a public agency separate from the Parties. The debts, liabilities or obligations of the Authority shall not be debts, liabilities or obligations of the individual Parties unless the governing board of a Party agrees in writing to assume any of the debts, liabilities or obligations of the Authority. A Party who has not agreed to assume an Authority debt, liability or obligation shall not be responsible in any way for such debt, liability or obligation even if a majority of the Parties agree to assume the debt, liability or obligation of the Authority.

Notwithstanding Section 8.4 of this Agreement, this Section 2.3 may not be amended unless such amendment is approved by the governing board of each Party.

2.4 Purpose. The purpose of this Agreement is to establish an independent public agency in order to exercise powers common to each Party to study, promote, develop, conduct, operate, and manage energy and energy-related climate change programs, and to exercise all other powers necessary and incidental to accomplishing this purpose. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties intend for this Agreement to be used as a contractual mechanism by which the Parties are authorized to participate as a group in the CCA Program, as further described in Section 5.1. The Parties intend that subsequent agreements shall define the terms and conditions associated with the actual implementation of the CCA Program and any other energy programs approved by the Authority.

2.5 Powers. The Authority shall have all powers common to the Parties and such additional powers accorded to it by law. The Authority is authorized, in its own name, to exercise all powers and do all acts necessary and proper to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and fulfill its purposes, including, but not limited to, each of the following:

2.5.1 make and enter into contracts;

2.5.2 employ agents and employees, including but not limited to an Executive Director;

2.5.3 acquire, contract, manage, maintain, and operate any buildings, works or improvements;

2.5.4 acquire by eminent domain, or otherwise, except as limited under Section 6508 of the Act, and to hold or dispose of any property;

2.6 Limitation on Powers. As required by Government Code Section 6509, the power of the Authority is subject to the restrictions upon the manner of exercising power possessed by the County of Marin.

2.7 Compliance with Local Zoning and Building Laws. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or state law, any facilities, buildings or structures located, constructed or caused to be constructed by the Authority within the territory of the Authority shall comply with the General Plan, zoning and building laws of the local jurisdiction within which the facilities, buildings or structures are constructed.

ARTICLE 3

AUTHORITY PARTICIPATION

3.1 Addition of Parties. Subject to Section 2.2, relating to certain rights of Initial Participants, other incorporated municipalities and counties may become Parties upon (a) the adoption of a resolution by the governing body of such incorporated municipality or such county requesting that the incorporated municipality or county, as the case may be, become a member of the Authority, (b) the adoption, by an affirmative vote of the Board satisfying the requirements described in Section 4.9.1, of a resolution authorizing membership of the additional incorporated municipality or county, specifying the membership payment, if any, to be made by the additional incorporated municipality or county to reflect its pro rata share of organizational, planning and other pre-existing expenditures, and describing additional conditions, if any, associated with membership, (c) the adoption of an ordinance required by Public Utilities Code Section 366.2(c)(10) and execution of this Agreement and other necessary program agreements by the incorporated municipality or county, (d) payment of the membership payment, if any, and (e) satisfaction of any conditions established by the Board.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Authority decides to not implement a CCA Program, the requirement that an additional party adopt the ordinance required by Public Utilities Code Section 366.2(c)(10) shall not apply.

Under such circumstance, the Board resolution authorizing membership of an additional incorporated municipality or county shall be adopted in accordance with the voting requirements of Section 4.10.

3.2 Continuing Participation. The Parties acknowledge that membership in the Authority may change by the addition and/or withdrawal or termination of Parties.

The Parties agree to participate with such other Parties as may later be added, as described in Section 3.1. The Parties also agree that the withdrawal or termination of a Party shall not affect this Agreement or the remaining Parties’ continuing obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4

GOVERNANCE AND INTERNAL ORGANIZATION

4.1 Board of Directors. The governing body of the Authority shall be a Board of Directors (“Board”) consisting of one director for each Party appointed in accordance with Section 4.2.

4.2 Appointment and Removal of Directors. The Directors shall be appointed and may be removed as follows:

4.2.1 The governing body of each Party shall appoint and designate in writing one regular Director who shall be authorized to act for and on behalf of the Party on matters within the powers of the Authority. The governing body of each Party also shall appoint and designate in writing one alternate Director who may vote on matters when the regular Director is absent from a Board meeting. The person appointed and designated as the Director or the alternate Director shall be a member of the governing body of the Party. As an alternative to appointing its own Director and alternate Director, the governing body of any Party may elect to designate another Party within the same county (the “designated Party”) to represent it on the Board with the Director and alternate Director from the designated Party (the “consolidated Parties”). Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the case of such an election by one or more Parties in the same county, the designated Party shall have the combined votes and voting shares of the consolidated Parties and shall vote on behalf of the consolidated Parties. The governing body of a Party may revoke its designation of another Party to vote on its behalf at any time. Neither an election by a Party to designate another Party to vote on its behalf or a revocation of this election shall be effective unless provided in a written notice to the Authority.

4.2.2 The Operating Rules and Regulations, to be developed and approved by the Board in accordance with Section 2.5.11, shall specify the reasons for and process associated with the removal of an individual Director for cause.

4.3 Terms of Office. Each Director shall serve at the pleasure of the governing body of the Party that the Director represents, and may be removed as Director by such governing body at any time. If at any time a vacancy occurs on the Board, a replacement shall be appointed to fill the position of the previous Director in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 within 90 days of the date that such position becomes vacant.

4.4 Quorum. A majority of the Directors shall constitute a quorum, except that less than a quorum may adjourn from time to time in accordance with law.

The Board may delegate to the executive committee such authority as the Board might otherwise exercise, subject to limitations placed on the Board’s authority to delegate certain essential functions, as described in the Operating Rules and Regulations. The Board may not delegate to the Executive Committee or any other committee its authority under Section 2.5.11 to adopt and amend the Operating Rules and Regulations.

4.7 Commissions, Boards and Committees. The Board may establish any advisory commissions, boards and committees as the Board deems appropriate to assist the Board in carrying out its functions and implementing the CCA Program, other energy programs and the provisions of this Agreement.

4.8 Director Compensation. Compensation for work performed by Directors on behalf of the Authority shall be borne by the Party that appointed the Director.

The Board, however, may adopt by resolution a policy relating to the reimbursement of expenses incurred by Directors.

4.9 Board Voting Related to the CCA Program.

4.9.1. To be effective, on all matters specifically related to the CCA Program, a vote of the Board shall consist of the following: (1) a majority of all Directors shall vote in the affirmative or such higher voting percentage expressly set forth in Sections 7.2 and 8.4 (the “percentage vote”) and (2) the corresponding voting shares (as described in Section 4.9.2 and Exhibit D) of all such Directors voting in the affirmative shall exceed 50%, or such other higher voting shares percentage expressly set forth in Sections

7.2 and 8.4 (the “percentage voting shares”), provided that, in instances in which such other higher voting share percentage would result in any one Director having a voting share that equals or exceeds that which is necessary to disapprove the matter being voted on by the Board, at least one other Director shall be required to vote in the negative in order to disapprove such matter.

4.9.2. Unless otherwise stated herein, voting shares of the Directors shall be determined by combining the following: (1) an equal voting share for each Director determined in accordance with the formula detailed in Section

4.9.2.1, below; and (2) an additional voting share determined in accordance with the formula detailed in Section 4.9.2.2, below.

4.9.2.1 Pro Rata Voting Share. Each Director shall have an equal voting share as determined by the following formula: (1/total number of Directors) multiplied by 50, and

4.9.2.2 Annual Energy Use Voting Share. Each Director shall have an additional voting share as determined by the following formula:
(Annual Energy Use/Total Annual Energy) multiplied by 50, where (a) “Annual Energy Use” means, (i) with respect to the first 5 years following the Effective Date, the annual electricity usage, expressed in kilowatt hours (“kWhs”), within the Party’s respective jurisdiction and (ii) with respect to the period after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, the annual electricity usage, expressed in kWhs, of accounts within a Party’s respective jurisdiction, and any additional jurisdictions which they represent, that are served by the Authority and (b) “Total Annual Energy” means the sum of all Parties’ Annual Energy Use. The initial values for Annual Energy use are designated in Exhibit C, and shall be adjusted annually as soon as reasonably practicable after January 1, but no later than March 1 of each year

4.9.2.3 The voting shares are set forth in Exhibit D. Exhibit D may be updated to reflect revised annual energy use amounts and any changes in the parties to the Agreement without amending the Agreement provided that the Board is provided a copy of the updated Exhibit D.

Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or the Operating Rules and Regulations, each member shall have one vote on general administrative matters, including but not limited to the adoption and amendment of the Operating Rules and Regulations, and energy programs not involving CCA.

Action on these items shall be determined by a majority vote of the quorum present and voting on the item or such higher voting percentage expressly set forth in Sections 7.2 and 8.4.

4.11 Board Voting on CCA Programs Not Involving CCA That Require Financial Contributions. The approval of any program or other activity not involving CCA that requires financial contributions by individual Parties shall be approved only by a majority vote of the full membership of the Board subject to the right of any Party who votes against the program or activity to opt-out of such program or activity pursuant to this section. The Board shall provide at least 45 days prior written notice to each Party before it considers the program or activity for adoption at a Board meeting. Such notice shall be provided to the governing body and the chief administrative officer, city manager or town manager of each Party.

The Board also shall provide written notice of such program or activity adoption to the above-described officials of each Party within 5 days after the Board adopts the program or activity. Any Party voting against the approval of a program or other activity of the Authority requiring financial contributions by individual Parties may elect to opt-out of participation in such program or activity by providing written notice of this election to the Board within 30 days after the program or activity is approved by the Board. Upon timely exercising its opt-out election, a Party shall not have any financial obligation or any liability whatsoever for the conduct or operation of such program or activity.

4.12 Meetings and Special Meetings of the Board. The Board shall hold at least four regular meetings per year, but the Board may provide for the holding of regular meetings at more frequent intervals.

The term of office of the Chair and Vice Chair shall continue for one year, but there shall be no limit on the number of terms held by either the Chair or Vice Chair. The office of either the Chair or Vice Chair shall be declared vacant and a new selection shall be made if: (a) the person serving dies, resigns, or the Party that the person represents removes the person as its representative on the Board or (b) the Party that he or she represents withdraws form the Authority pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

4.13.2 Secretary. The Board shall appoint a Secretary, who need not be a member of the Board, who shall be responsible for keeping the minutes of all meetings of the Board and all other official records of the Authority.

4.13.3 Treasurer and Auditor. The Board shall appoint a qualified person to act as the Treasurer and a qualified person to act as the Auditor, neither of whom needs to be a member of the Board. If the Board so designates, and in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, a qualified person may hold both the office of Treasurer and the office of Auditor of the Authority. Unless otherwise exempted from such requirement, the Authority shall cause an independent audit to be made by a certified public accountant, or public accountant, in compliance with Section 6505 of the Act. The Treasurer shall act as the depositary of the Authority and have custody of all the money of the Authority, from whatever source, and as such, shall have all of the duties and responsibilities specified in Section 6505.5 of the Act.

The Board may appoint one or more administrative services providers to serve as the Authority’s agent for planning, implementing, operating and administering the CCA Program, and any other program approved by the Board, in accordance with the provisions of a written agreement between the Authority and the appointed administrative services provider or providers that will be known as an Administrative Services Agreement. The Administrative Services Agreement shall set forth the terms and conditions by which the appointed administrative services provider shall perform or cause to be performed all tasks necessary for planning, implementing, operating and administering the CCA Program and other approved programs. The Administrative Services Agreement shall set forth the term of the Agreement and the circumstances under which the Administrative Services Agreement may be terminated by the Authority. This section shall not in any way be construed to limit the discretion of the Authority to hire its own employees to administer the CCA Program or any other program.

ARTICLE 5

IMPLEMENTATION ACTION AND AUTHORITY DOCUMENTS

5.1 Preliminary Implementation of the CCA Program.

5.1.1 Enabling Ordinance. Except as otherwise provided by Section 3.1, prior to the execution of this Agreement, each Party shall adopt an ordinance in accordance with Public Utilities Code Section 366.2(c)(10) for the purpose of specifying that the Party intends to implement a CCA Program by and through its participation in the Authority.

5.1.3 Effect of Vote On Required Implementation Action. In the event that two or more Parties vote to approve Program Agreement 1 or any earlier action required for the implementation of the CCA Program (“Required Implementation Action”), but such vote is insufficient to approve the Required Implementation Action under Section 4.9, the following will occur:

5.1.3.1 The Parties voting against the Required Implementation Action shall no longer be a Party to this Agreement and this Agreement shall be terminated, without further notice, with respect to each of the Parties voting against the

Agreement under Section 7.1.1.1.

5.1.3.2 After the termination of any Parties pursuant to Section

5.1.3.1, the remaining Parties to this Agreement shall be only the Parties who voted in favor of the Required

To permit consideration by the governing body of each Party, the Authority shall provide a copy of the proposed Program Agreement 1 to each Party at least 90 days prior to the consideration of such agreement by the Board.

7.1.1.2 Subsequent to the Authority’s execution of Program Agreement 1, a Party may withdraw its membership in the Authority, effective as of the beginning of the Authority’s fiscal year, by giving no less than 6 months advance written notice of its election to do so, which notice shall be given to the Authority and each Party, and upon such other conditions as may be prescribed in Program Agreement 1.

7.1.3 Continuing Liability; Further Assurances. A Party that withdraws its membership in the Authority may be subject to certain continuing liabilities, as described in Section 7.3. The withdrawing Party and the Authority shall execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take any further action that may be reasonably necessary, as determined by the Board, to effectuate the orderly withdrawal of such Party from membership in the Authority. The Operating Rules and Regulations shall prescribe the rights if any of a withdrawn Party to continue to participate in those Board discussions and decisions affecting customers of the CCA Program that reside or do business within the jurisdiction of the Party.

7.2 Involuntary Termination of a Party. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to a Party for material non-compliance with provisions of this Agreement or the Authority Documents upon an affirmative vote of the Board in which the minimum percentage vote and percentage voting shares, as described in Section

4.9.1, shall be no less than 67%, excluding the vote and voting shares of the Party subject to possible termination. Prior to any vote to terminate this Agreement with respect to a Party, written notice of the proposed termination and the reason(s) for such termination shall be delivered to the Party whose termination is proposed at least 30 days prior to the regular Board meeting at which such matter shall first be discussed as an agenda item. The written notice of proposed termination shall specify the particular provisions of this Agreement or the Authority Documents that the Party has allegedly violated. The Party subject to possible termination shall have the opportunity at the next regular Board meeting to respond to any reasons and allegations that may be cited as a basis for termination prior to a vote regarding termination. A Party that has had its membership in the Authority terminated may be subject to certain continuing liabilities, as described in Section

7.3. In the event that the Authority decides to not implement the CCA Program, the minimum percentage vote of 67% shall be conducted in accordance with Section 4.10 rather than Section 4.9.1.

7.3 Continuing Liability; Refund. Upon a withdrawal or involuntary termination of a Party, the Party shall remain responsible for any claims, demands, damages, or liabilities arising from the Party’s membership in the Authority through the date of its withdrawal or involuntary termination, it being agreed that the Party shall not be responsible for any claims, demands, damages, or liabilities arising after the date of the Party’s withdrawal or involuntary termination. In addition, such Party also shall be responsible for any costs or obligations associated with the Party’s participation in any program in accordance with the provisions of any agreements relating to such program provided such costs or obligations were incurred prior to the withdrawal of the Party. The Authority may withhold funds otherwise owing to the Party or may require the Party to deposit sufficient funds with the Authority, as reasonably determined by the Authority, to cover the Party’s liability for the costs described above. Any amount of the Party’s funds held on deposit with the Authority above that which is required to pay any liabilities or obligations shall be returned to the Party.

7.4 Mutual Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement of all the Parties; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed as limiting the rights of a Party to withdraw its membership in the Authority, and thus terminate this Agreement with respect to such withdrawing Party, as described in Section 7.1.

7.5 Disposition of Property upon Termination of Authority. Upon termination of this Agreement as to all Parties, any surplus money or assets in possession of the Authority for use under this Agreement, after payment of all liabilities, costs, expenses, and charges incurred under this Agreement and under any program documents, shall be returned to the then-existing Parties in proportion to the contributions made by each.

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

8.1 Dispute Resolution. The Parties and the Authority shall make reasonable efforts to settle all disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. Should such efforts to settle a dispute, after reasonable efforts, fail, the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board.

8.2 Liability of Directors, Officers, and Employees. The Directors, officers, and employees of the Authority shall use ordinary care and reasonable diligence in the exercise of their powers and in the performance of their duties pursuant to this Agreement. No current or former Director, officer, or employee will be responsible for any act or omission by another Director, officer, or employee. The Authority shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the individual current and former Directors, officers, and employees for any acts or omissions in the scope of their employment or duties in the manner provided by Government Code Section 995 et seq. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the defenses available under the law, to the Parties, the Authority, or its Directors, officers, or employees.

8.3 Indemnification of Parties. The Authority shall acquire such insurance coverage as is necessary to protect the interests of the Authority, the Parties and the public.

The Authority shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Parties and each of their respective Board or Council members, officers, agents and employees, from any and all claims, losses, damages, costs, injuries and liabilities of every kind arising directly or indirectly from the conduct, activities, operations, acts, and omissions of the Authority under this Agreement.

8.4 Amendment of this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended by an affirmative vote of the Board in which the minimum percentage vote and percentage voting shares, as described in Section 4.9.1, shall be no less than 67%.

The Authority shall provide written notice to all Parties of amendments to this Agreement, including the effective date of such amendments. A Party shall be deemed to have withdrawn its membership in the Authority effective immediately upon the vote of the Board approving an amendment to this Agreement if the Director representing such Party has provided notice to the other Directors immediately preceding the Board’s vote of the Party’s intention to withdraw its membership in the Authority should the amendment be approved by the Board.

As described in Section 7.3, a Party that withdraws its membership in the Authority in accordance with the above-described procedure may be subject to continuing liabilities incurred prior to the Party’s withdrawal. In the event that the Authority decides to not implement the CCA Program, the minimum percentage vote of 67% shall be conducted in accordance with Section 4.10 rather than Section 4.9.1.

8.5 Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights and duties of the Parties may not be assigned or delegated without the advance written consent of all of the other Parties, and any attempt to assign or delegate such rights or duties in contravention of this Section 8.5 shall be null and void. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Parties. This Section 8.5 does not prohibit a Party from entering into an independent agreement with another agency, person, or entity regarding the financing of that Party’s contributions to the Authority, or the disposition of proceeds which that Party receives under this Agreement, so long as such independent agreement does not affect, or purport to affect, the rights and duties of the Authority or the Parties under this Agreement.

8.6 Severability.

RE: Proposed Resolution No. 2026-03 Approving Credit Facility Extension (Agenda Item #06)
ATTACHMENTS: A: Proposed Resolution No. 2026-03: Approving and Authorizing an Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement with Royal Bank of Canada
B: Draft Amended Revolving Credit Agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada
C: Montague DeRose Qualifications Summary
Dear Board Members:

Summary:

Due to the upcoming expiration of the current Revolving Credit Agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”) on May 24, 2026, staff recommends approval of an Amendment to our existing Credit Agreement. The Amendment would:
• extend the current credit agreement by one year, to May 21, 2027, to provide time for staff to survey the bank market to determine if there are more competitive credit facility options available to best meet MCE’s financial objectives.
• increase the RBC facility limit from $60 million to $80 million to address potential increases to the Financial Stability Reserve (FSR) requirement.

Staff expects to receive several proposals in an upcoming Request for Proposals (“RFP”) process given the long-term operating and financial success of MCE and stable Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) in California.

On May 4, 2026, MCE’s Executive Committee voted to recommend Board approval of the proposed credit facility extension and credit limit increase (8 ayes, 0 nays, 2 abstains, 1 absent). On May 8, 2026, MCE’s Finance Committee voted unanimously to recommend Board approval of the proposed credit facility extension and credit limit increase.

Background:

MCE’s existing credit facility provides access to a $60 million line of credit, which strengthens the agency’s liquidity position. Rating agencies count this committed credit line toward MCE’s days cash on hand calculations, helping to support and improve MCE’s credit ratings. The facility also gives MCE flexibility when working with counterparties by allowing the agency to post letters of credit in lieu of cash collateral which preserves cash reserves. Similarly, it can be used to post a letter of credit to satisfy the Financial Stability Reserve (FSR) requirement. The FSR is required by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and is meant to ensure community choice aggregators (CCAs) can cover potential reentry fees if their customers involuntarily return to PG&E service. This requirement changes with market conditions and could increase to over $70 million during calendar year 2026.

Overview of the Extension of the Current Credit Agreement:

MCE finance and legal staff, with support from MCEs municipal advisor, Montague DeRose and Associates (“MDA”) and outside counsel, have negotiated an Amendment with RBC that would extend by one year the current agreement, extending the term through May 21, 2027, and increasing the limit from $60 million to $80 million. The proposed increased credit limit would provide MCE with additional flexibility should the FSR posting requirement materialize at the high end. Market volatility and the FSR's sensitivity to changes in market prices could mean a range from the minimum FSR amount up to over $70 million for calendar year 2026.

The proposed Amendment is attached to this staff report (Attachment B).

Proposed Resolution 2026-03 (Attachment A) would approve the Amendment, authorize the Board Chair to execute the Amendment on MCE’s behalf, and authorize Chief Operating Officer Vicken Kasarjian, Chief Financial Officer Maira Strauss, and General Counsel Catalina Murphy to deliver such certifications and other documents as required under the Amendment.

Overview of the Upcoming RFP Process and Bank Selection Criteria:

Staff intends to issue an RFP during the extension period, to promote competition, ensure robust due diligence, and uphold our fiduciary obligation to obtain the most advantageous terms for the agency. The process will inform selection of the optimal banking partners for a new credit facility.

The RFP process would assist the Board with price transparency and provide an examination of the experience and qualifications of various providers. Previously, RBC was selected through a competitive RFP process issued on September 9, 2022, which solicited proposals for a general-purpose credit facility in a minimum amount of $40 million and up to a maximum of $60 million for a term of at least three years. The RFP was sent to fifteen banks who met a set of financial and environmental criteria developed internally and in coordination with MCE’s municipal advisor, MDA.

In the upcoming RFP, the criteria for banks could include the following:
• Minimum net assets totaling $25 billion.
• Long-term ratings at least equivalent to A2 and A from two nationally recognized credit rating agencies.
• Commitment to environmental sustainability.
• Other financial strength requirements.

After receiving the responses, Staff, along with its municipal advisor MDA, would analyze the providers’ most recent financial statements to collect information on net assets, credit ratings, and overall financial strengths to select banks commensurate with MCE’s strong financial standing. Due to MCE’s stringent financial criteria, the list of responses could likely come from large multi-national banks.

Importantly, most of the banks expected to be on MCE’s future RFP list are also actively engaged in financing the transition away from fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emitting industries. At the same time, several of these institutions have faced sanctions from states with significant oil, gas, and coal interests, such as Texas, Oklahoma, and West Virginia, due to their efforts to reduce or eliminate fossil fuel financing. Consequently, the universe of financial institutions that both meet MCE’s stringent financial criteria and align with MCE’s mission, while also demonstrating an interest in providing credit to the CCA industry, is particularly limited.

On or before September 30, 2026, MCE would assess the proposals received. Each proposal would be reviewed using an evaluation matrix that compares the product overview, fee schedules, and pricing. Consideration would also be given to the banks’ responses to environmental sustainability commitments.

MCE Staff, with assistance from MCE’s municipal advisor and outside counsel, would negotiate a new three-year Revolving Credit Agreement with the selected bank. The new agreement would replace MCE’s Revolving Credit Agreement with RBC, which is scheduled to expire on May 24, 2026 and proposed to be extended to May 21, 2027. The future three-year agreement selected through the RFP process could increase the amount of the credit facility, allow MCE to borrow additional funds if needed, and permit the issuance of letters of credit to support power purchase contracts.

Fiscal Impact:

The annual cost of MCE’s existing Revolving Credit Agreement is 0.33% of the facility limit, or $264,000 based on the increased limit, representing the lowest credit facility fee MCE has incurred to date. Staff successfully negotiated the proposed increase in the facility from $60 million to $80 million with no associated fee rate increase. Additional costs would be incurred only if MCE borrows under the facility or issues letters of credit. The approved FY 2026/27 budget includes funding for the agreement under Non-Operating Expenses and provides sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed one-year extension.

Recommendation:

Approve proposed Resolution 2026-03, approving a one-year extension of the current RBC credit facility, extending the term through May 21, 2027, and increasing the credit limit to $80 million. 1 1 This item is an administrative matter as outlined in OR&R Article VI. Action requires a majority vote of the full membership of the Board for a motion to carry.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION
Montague DeRose is a full service; independent
municipal advisory firm committed solely to the
public sector. Since our founding in 1995 as a
California Limited Liability Company, we have
assisted municipal issuers in the structuring and sale
of short- and long-term debt issues representing a
par value of more than $290 billion. Our practice is
deeply rooted in California, with offices in Westlake
Village and Walnut Creek that allow us to remain
closely engaged with major public-sector issuers
across the state.

MDA was founded on the concept that public sector
clients want and deserve advisory services that
match the sophistication and level of service
provided by investment banks without the potential
conflicts of interest inherent in having such banks
serve as municipal advisor. Our original strategy
was, and continues to be, to provide deep coverage
and unequaled service to a limited number of public
sector clients.

Our experience with California utility matters is
unparalleled. We have assisted the State in
implementing its response to the power crisis in the
2001/2002 period, its response to current climate
change effects on wildfires and its study of potential
solutions regarding the bankruptcy of one of its
largest IOUs. We have not only approached these
matters from the State’s perspective but also have
studied potential responses and solutions from the
perspective of our clients.

MDA’s experts have a wealth of utility and
regulatory knowledge in utilities and have a deep
understanding of current federal and state
regulations that have potential impacts to MCE.

MDA provides a number of services to public power
entities including all financial advisory services
related to bond issuances, enterprise modeling,
commodities-related advisory services such as fuel
hedging, power purchase agreements, and
renewable energy advisory services.

EXPERIENCE

Dear Fellow Board Members:

Summary:

The Ad Hoc Governance Assessment Committee has completed the initial review phase of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for Governance Assessment Services and is advancing toward finalist interviews and contract recommendation for a governance assessment and an organizational assessment.

Background:

The Ad Hoc Governance Committee is providing an update on the progress of MCE’s RFP for Governance Assessment Services. The RFP closed on April 30, 2026, at 4:00 PM, with sixteen (16) total submissions received. Committee members and staff conducted a structured evaluation of all proposals and have shortlisted 3–5 firms based on the criteria established in the RFP:
• Governance Expertise — 20%
• Energy/Utilities Expertise — 20%
• Approach & Methodology — 15%
• Success with Other Agencies — 10%
• Organizational Capacity — 10%
• Innovation & Creativity — 10%
• Cost Competitiveness — 10%
• Completeness of Application — 5%
These criteria guided both the initial scoring and the selection of firms invited to interview.

Interviews with shortlisted firms will be scheduled for the week of May 26, 2026. The committee intends to bring a proposed contract to the Board for consideration at the June 18, 2026 Board meeting.

In parallel with the bids for governance assessment, the committee requested optional proposals for broader organizational assessment. Nine (9) of the sixteen (16) bidders submitted optional bids. In addition to a recommendation for a firm to do the governance assessment, the Ad Hoc Governance Assessment Committee will recommend a firm to do the organizational assessment.

Fiscal Impact:

Fiscal impact to be determined upon the selection of consultant(s).

Recommendation:

Discussion only.

Contract Approval Process:

Contract Approval Process: Energy procurement is governed by MCE’s Energy Risk Management Policy as well as Board Resolutions 2020-04 and 2026-01. The Energy Risk Management Policy (Policy) has been developed to help ensure that MCE achieves its mission and adheres to its procurement policies established by the MCE Board of Directors (Board), power supply and related contract commitments, good utility practice, and all applicable laws and regulations.

The evaluation of every new energy contract is based upon how to best fill MCE’s open position.

Factors such as volume, notional value, type of product, price, term, collateral threshold and posting, and payment are all considered before execution of the agreement.

After evaluation and as part of the overall approval process, an approval matrix is implemented whereby the draft contract is routed to key MCE departments and consultants for review, input, and approval. Typically, contracts are routed for commercial, technical, legal, and financial approval, and are then typically routed through the Chief Operating Officer for approval prior to execution. The table below lists the MCE departments and consultants (and examples of relevant staff) assigned to review and approve, before the contract is forwarded to the next stage of review.

Nathaniel Malcolm (MCE, Senior Commercial Counsel) Legal (Process & CPUC Compliance)
Maira Strauss (MCE, Chief Financial Officer) Credit/Financial Dawn Weisz/Vicken Kasarjian (CEO/COO) Executive
Pursuant to Resolution 2020-04, contracts for terms of less than or equal to 12 months can be approved and executed by the CEO.

Pursuant to Resolution 2020-04 and Resolution 2026-01, MCE consults with the Interim Advisory Committee regarding potential contracts for terms of 1-5 years. After consultation with the Interim Advisory Committee, the CEO and Technical Committee Chair are jointly authorized to approve and execute the agreement.

Fiscal Impacts:

Expenses and revenue associated with these Contracts and Agreements that are expected to occur during FY 2026/27 are within the FY 2026/27 Operating Fund Budget. Expenses and revenue associated with future years will be incorporated into budget planning as appropriate.

Recommendation:

Information only. No action required.

TO: MCE Board of Directors
FROM: Sabrinna Soldavini, Vice President of Policy
RE: I.2 Legislative and Regulatory Updates
ATTACHMENT: Regulatory Packet with Filings since the April Board Meeting

Dear MCE Board Members:

Summary:

Below is a summary of the key activities at the state and federal legislatures and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), California Energy Commission (CEC), and the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) impacting Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) and MCE.

I. California Legislature
As of the drafting of this staff report, state legislators and stakeholders are awaiting the release of the Governor’s “May Revise,” which revises the January draft budget with updated revenue projections and more detailed expenditure proposals. The May Revise is expected to be released by mid-May. The May Revise will trigger another round of budget hearings and advocacy.

Also during May, the Senate and Assembly Appropriations Committee will hear all bills that would have more than a nominal impact on the state budget, including CalCCA’s two sponsored bills: AB 1761 (Rogers) on Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) data transparency and SB 1138 (Padilla) on hourly load obligation trading (LOT) under the CPUC’s resource adequacy (RA) program. Staff will update the Board on the results of these hearings after they take place.
a. Additional Positions Taken
The table below lists positions MCE has registered to date, followed by brief descriptions of the bills included in the table but not discussed in previous staff reports.

Bill Number and
Author
Subject MCE Position
AB 1761 (Rogers) PCIA data transparency Support
SB 1138 (Padilla) RA hourly transactability Support
AB 2111 (Papan) Transmission planning Support
AB 1684 (Ward) Cooling systems in common interest
developments
Support
AB 2508 (Hoover) Funding for Public Purpose Programs including energy efficiency
Oppose
AB 2383 (Zbur) Electricity service for large data centers Oppose Unless Amended
SB 1282 (Becker) Vehicle grid integration Support
AB 2313 (Berman) Alternatives to gas distribution service line replacements
Support
AB 2369 (Rogers) Resource adequacy and full capacity
deliverability status
Support
SB 1265 (Richardson) GoGreen Financing Program Support
AB 2383 (Zbur) would establish requirements for load serving entities (LSEs) serving data centers to ensure appropriate allocation of costs associated with that service, protect against stranded costs, and ensure that growing data center load does not increase costs for other customers. While well-intentioned, this bill would improperly expand the CPUC’s oversight over CCA rates and service contract terms, removing that authority from your Board. MCE has adopted an Oppose Unless Amended position to support CalCCA as it advocates for amendments to resolve these jurisdictional concerns.

SB 1282 (Becker) would expand upon existing standards to promote and expand vehicle grid integration (VGI) in California. VGI is an umbrella term that broadly refers to the ways electric vehicle charging can benefit the electric grid while still meeting driver needs, and includes managed charging (like MCE Sync) and bidirectional charging, under which a vehicle battery can discharge power back to a building via a two-way charger.

AB 2313 (Berman) focuses on residential customers whose gas service line is due for replacement. It would allow customers to elect to use the funds required to replace the gas service line for electrification measures instead and disconnect their home from gas service. It contains provisions to ensure that no costs are passed on to nonparticipating customers.

AB 2369 (Rogers) as originally drafted would have directed reforms to the CPUC’s resource adequacy program to acknowledge the contributions of resources that do not currently have full capacity deliverability status. It has since taken amendments that narrow the potential impact of the bill but would still add important and realistic nuance to the RA program.

SB 1265 (Richardson) would codify the existing GoGreen Financing program administered by the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority (CAEATFA). GoGreen provides financing assistance to lenders to support residential customers in financing energy efficiency and building decarbonization measures at either competitive or below market rates. The bill would also create a dedicated GoGreen Program Fund within the state Treasury so that the program can use a wider range of funding to expand its reach.

II. California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
a. Resource Adequacy (RA) Proceeding
Following the issuance of the CPUC Energy Division’s Slice-of-Day Transactability Report declining to recommend hourly load obligation trading (LOT), MCE worked with CalCCA to file a Proposal, Opening Comments, and Reply Comments refuting the report in full and proposing the CPUC adopt LOT. The investor-owned utilities (IOUs) filed Reply Comments on March 30, 2026, without having filed Opening Comments, raising new issues and introducing mischaracterizations and irrelevant arguments without giving parties an opportunity to respond. CalCCA therefore filed a motion to file sur-reply comments in response to the IOUs’ Reply Comments. On April 17, 2026, the administrative law judge (ALJ) granted the motion, allowing parties to respond by April 23, 2026. MCE worked with CalCCA to file sur-reply comments on April 17, 2026, recommending that the CPUC:
• Reject PG&E’s claims that CalCCA overstates the benefits of LOT; • Reject PG&E’s claims that LOT could present “untenable competitive disadvantages” for the IOUs;
• Clarify that LOT is a voluntary trading mechanism for all LSEs, including the IOUs, in response to SCE’s concerns;
• Decline to delay adoption of LOT until the Reliable and Clean Power Procurement Program (RCPPP) is further developed, as recommended by SCE; • Address LOT impacts on the RA MPB and other PCIA calculation methodology elements in the PCIA proceeding;
• Reject PG&E’s claims that “potential downstream impacts” suggest the CalCCA proposal is “under-developed”; and
• Reject San Diego Gas & Electric’s (SDG&E) misleading characterization of LOT as “leaning” and a cost shift.

In preparation for a Pending Decision on RA transactability in May, CalCCA is scheduling ex parte meetings with all of the Commissioners’ offices. The first will take place on May 6, 2026.

Also in Track 1, the CPUC issued a Ruling revising the schedule for considering the CAISO’s LCR and FCR reports. These reports update local and flexible capacity requirements. Local capacity is the responsibility of the CPE in each territory (the CPE in MCE’s territory is PG&E).

Flexible capacity is the responsibility of each LSE. CAISO published its final LCR report on May 1, 2026, with opening comments due on May 8, 2026. CAISO is scheduled to publish its final FCR report in early May 2026, with opening comments due on the third business day after the report is filed.

As a separate track in the RA proceeding, the CPUC issued a Ruling revising the schedule for the CPUC’s Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE) study process. The CPUC issued draft issues and assumptions (I&As) for the LOLE study process on April 9, 2026, and hosted a workshop to discuss them on April 14, 2026. The final LOLE studies will be used to modify the Planning Reserve Margin (PRM) in 2028. However, stakeholders do not yet have clarity on exactly how the studies will be used. Working with CalCCA, MCE urged that comments be filed to request clarification on how the LOLE studies will influence the 2028 PRM and to ensure that the studies use accurate assumptions and data so that a fair PRM is set.

CalCCA filed comments on the LOLE I&As on April 24, 2026.The comments recommend that the CPUC:
• Convene additional workshops to allow robust discussion regarding how the Strategic Energy Risk Valuation Model (SERVM) LOLE modeling will be used to set the PRM; • Reject party recommendations to assume zero RA imports as that scenario would be overly conservative and negatively impact the accuracy of the analysis; • Conduct additional analysis to build confidence in the Demand Model given its pronounced variation from historical consumption;
• Account for behind-the-meter solar photovoltaic (BTM-PV) impacts on losses in reconstitution of consumption;
• Update CAISO hydro parameters to reflect increased hydro flexibility observed in recent years; and
• Use past Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) forecasts of peak demand to validate and adjust load forecast error assumptions in SERVM
Fiscal Impacts: There is no direct fiscal impact on MCE at this time. a. Integrated Resources Planning (IRP)
The Integrated Resources Planning (IRP) proceeding is an “umbrella” procurement planning proceeding overseen by the CPUC that considers all of the CPUC’s policies and programs to ensure the state has a safe, reliable, and cost-effective electric supply.

In April, direct access (DA) parties including the Alliance for Retail Energy Markets (AReM), California Coalition of Large Energy Users (CLEU), the Regents of the University of California and Shell Energy North America (US), L.P., filed an Application for Rehearing (AfR) of the CPUC’s February 2026 Decision ordering mandatory procurement for 2029-2032 (D.26-02- 057). The DA parties also concurrently filed a Petition for Modification (PfM) of the CPUC’s June 2021 Decision recommending against expansion of the DA cap (D.21-06-033).

DA is an electric service option that allows retail customers to buy electricity from a competitive non-utility entity called an Energy Service Provider (ESP) rather than a CCA or IOU. Currently, there is a cap on DA participation. In their filings, the DA parties seek to expand DA or ask that the CPUC in the alternative at least reallocate the recent IRP procurement mandate assigned to them given they cannot serve any new load.

CalCCA filed a response to the AfR on April 21. CalCCA recommended that the CPUC deny the AfR on the grounds that the DA parties’ allegation of legal error based on the CPUC’s allocation of procurement responsibility to ESPs should be dismissed given the CPUC required allocation to all LSEs (including ESPs) as a result of system reliability needs.

Although the CPUC’s allocation methodology does need to be revised, the AfR will not be the proper procedural venue. These issues should instead be considered in the IRP procurement track or the Reliable and Clean Power Procurement Program (RCPPP), given the compressed timeline for LSEs to meet ordered procurement and time necessary to develop a fair allocation methodology for all LSEs. The DA parties improperly seek to use rehearing of an IRP procurement decision as a vehicle to advance a separate policy objective – expansion or reevaluation of DA – that was neither within scope of the proceeding nor material to the Decision.

MCE will continue to work with CalCCA to respond to these filings and any following procedural steps.

Fiscal Impacts: There is no direct fiscal impact to MCE at this time. b. Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA)
In February 2025, the CPUC issued an Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) to update Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) and Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) policies and processes. Per law, the CPUC is required to ensure “indifference” and prevent cost shifts between bundled and unbundled customers. This entails the Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs), such as Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) recovering electricity costs from CCA customers that were incurred on their behalf before they departed PG&E service and reducing those costs by the value of benefits that remain with PG&E customers. To facilitate this process, the Commission established the PCIA, a charge paid by all customers on the PG&E side of the bill.

In this proceeding, the CPUC is evaluating potential changes to the methodology of calculating the PCIA through three tracks. Tracks 1 and 2 remain active but had no major filings and updates in April 2026.

PCIA Proceeding Track 3
The Commission issued a Scoping Memo in Track 3 of this proceeding in February 2026 to consider additional PCIA related issues, including data access and timelines for the proceeding.

CalCCA filed Reply Comments in April on the Scoping Memo. CalCCA’s Opening Comments had recommended that the Commission first resolve data access and confidentiality issues in Phase 1 of Track 3 and scope broad items that address PCIA and ERRA structural, methodological, and implementation issues in Phase 2. In response to other Parties’ Opening Comments, CalCCA’s Reply Comments recommended that the Commission: (1) Reject the Joint IOUs’ recommendation to only address their high priority issues on an expedited basis.

This would delay consideration of comprehensive reform to the PCIA methodology that was the reasoning behind opening this proceeding, and (2) Reject the Joint IOUs’ recommendation to revisit negative PCIA rates as it is a well settled issue that the Commission has repeatedly found consistent with the statutory framework. CalCCA also opposed the Joint IOUs’ pushback to data sharing and reiterated the importance of equal access to data by all parties to holistically consider changes to the PCIA.

MCE will continue to actively engage in this proceeding through 2026 and provide updates as they become available.

Fiscal Impacts: There are no immediate fiscal impacts to MCE. The PCIA is a charge on the PG&E side of the bill, but changes to the PCIA impact MCE customers’ overall bill and MCE’s rate competitiveness.
c. Energy Efficiency (EE)
In April, MCE submitted its 2025 Energy Efficiency Annual Report to the Commission. An annual required filing, MCE’s 2025 EE Annual Report documents the achievements, strategies, performance and updates related to the 2025 year of its approved 2024-2027 portfolio of programs authorized by the Commission in 2023 that serve residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and cross-cutting customers throughout MCE’s service area.

Achievements from its 2025 EE portfolio performance include:
• Completed EE projects in 30 out of 38 MCE member communities. • Achieved $2 million in total system benefits (TSB) and issued $2.4 million in rebates. • Prevented 9,887 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the life of EE measures installed in 2025, equivalent to taking 907 gasoline-powered cars off the road for one year.
• Saved 1.07 net GWh and 93,715 net therms.

In the report, MCE further highlighted the success of its Equity segment programs, the approved launch of its new Multifamily Energy Savings-Resource program, and relevant updates from its Market Support and Resource Acquisition segment programs. MCE identified areas of improvement for its Commercial Flex Market program and a series of corrective actions to strengthen the cost-effectiveness and performance of its portfolio in the upcoming year.

Fiscal Impacts: There are no immediate fiscal impacts to MCE. d. Climate Credit
On July 28, 2025, the CPUC released an OIR to improve the California Climate Credit, largely focused on changing the timing of the credits’ distribution to better align with customers’ high-bill months. On February 3, 2026, the CPUC released a Scoping Memo and Ruling broadening review of, and possible changes to, the credit. CalCCA filed comments supporting analysis of future changes to the credit. On February 9, a Proposed Decision was released pausing the February distribution of the Climate Credit by the large IOUs until later in the year, which was later approved in a March 19 voting meeting. CalCCA opposed the February pause and added that IOUs should standardize their communications about the Climate Credit to avoid customer confusion about where it originates.

On May 1, the Final Decision approved in a CPUC voting meeting provides that: (a) starting in 2026, the large electric utilities will provide the electric credit in August and September; (b) the small and multi-jurisdictional electric utilities will provide the credit in October and November starting in 2027; and (c) the gas credit will move to February starting in 2027. It also requires IOUs to submit “visual examples of updated communications, including mockups of email messages, sample bills, and other utility communications that include or refer to the Climate Credit by name,” reflecting CalCCA’s advocacy.

Fiscal Impacts: There are no immediate fiscal impacts to MCE. However, the timing of MCE customers’ climate credit distribution will be impacted because of the May 1, 2026, Decision.

The new OIR may lead to further changes to MCE customers’ climate credit amount and timing in the future.
e. High DER Future - IOU-led DER Orchestration
On March 23, 2026, the CPUC issued a Ruling that proposes the development of a distributed energy resources (DER) orchestration framework for IOUs to serve as distribution system operators (DSOs). An IOU DSO-led DER orchestration framework would enable IOUs to operate a distribution-level market, where the IOU manages DERs to provide grid services such as reliability support, outage mitigation, and infrastructure deferral. The Ruling also (a) proposes that each IOU file a separate application for its respective framework and (b) schedules workshops to discuss the IOU applications and transmission system operator (TSO)-DSO coordination.

CalCCA filed comments on the Ruling recommending the CPUC defer the development of an IOU-led DER orchestration framework. CalCCA, and numerous other parties, urged the CPUC to expand the scope and build a sufficient record that evaluates all DSO models, including third-party models, given the existing conflicts in the IOU business model (which prioritizes capital investments over procuring DER flexibility services). The first workshop is currently scheduled for May 21, 2026. MCE will continue to coordinate with CalCCA on opposing an IOU-led distribution market.

Fiscal Impacts: There are no immediate fiscal impacts to MCE.

II. California Energy Commission (CEC)
a. Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR)
The CEC posted its Draft 2025 IEPR on April 23, 2026. The IEPR discusses the Demand Forecast, accelerating interconnection and energization, California’s progress toward the load-shift goal, and advancing clean and renewable hydrogen for electricity and transportation. Of note, the draft report indicates that the 2026 IEPR Update Forecast will be the first to estimate demand flexibility impacts. The 2025 draft report also includes appendices on Clean Transportation Program benefits, firm zero-carbon resources, and fossil gas price forecasts. MCE and CalCCA are considering submitting comments on the Draft 2025 IEPR, which are due May 15, 2026.

For the 2026 IEPR Update, the CEC released the final IEPR Scoping Order, outlining the core topics of: updated energy demand forecast, development of in-state geothermal generation, and energy equity and environmental justice. The CEC released an updated workshop schedule in late April 2026. The first workshop, on forms and instructions, is scheduled for May 20, 2026. Workshops will begin by covering the geothermal and energy equity topics, and later workshops will focus on updating the energy forecast.

Fiscal Impacts: There is no direct fiscal impact on MCE at this time.

RE: Customer and Community Impact Update

B. Marketing Campaign Alert
C. Monthly Emerging Opportunities Tiger Team Update
Dear Board Members:

Summary:

This report provides a high-level overview of customer trends, engagement, and program activity, with a focus on affordability, retention, and community impact. Overall, customer stability remains strong following recent rate changes, with continued demand for affordability support and sustained engagement across programs and outreach efforts.

Customer stability remains strong amid seasonal bill pressures and rate changes.

Customer participation and opt-out activity remained largely stable through Q1 and into April, with only a slight increase in opt-outs and payment plan enrollments during the high winter bill period.

Despite a widening cost difference with PG&E, our Customer Service team retained over 400 customers in Q1, maintaining an average retention rate of over 32% through targeted engagement and education. These trends indicate continued customer willingness to remain with MCE when provided clear information and support, even during periods of rate sensitivity.

Customer engagement reflects increased focus on affordability, with consistent access to support.

Call center activity declined nearly 40% compared to Q1 of last year, which included a major enrollment period. At the same time, call durations have increased as customers seek more support in understanding higher winter bills and affordability options. Staff continue to provide high-touch and multilingual support to guide customers through available programs and billing impacts.

Expanded affordability support now reaching 25,000 customers.

We successfully auto-enrolled prior MCE Cares participants into the program, delivering approximately $500,000 per month in bill credits to customers ($20/month for income-qualified homes and $25/month for small businesses). This effort directly supports bill stability during a period of rate sensitivity.

Spring “Good Energy” campaign launched to strengthen brand and customer engagement.

The Spring 2026 campaign launched April 27 across digital, transit, television, and social platforms in both English and Spanish (Attachment B). The campaign focuses on increasing brand awareness and connecting customers to actionable programs, including electrification incentives. Early efforts are focused on reach, engagement, and driving traffic to program participation.

Strong community presence during Earth Month.

MCE participated in or sponsored 12 Earth Day events across our service area, including the Vallejo Youth Earth Day Festival, where we recognized local youth for exceptional environmental leadership. These efforts continue to reinforce MCE’s community-based model and local impact.

Proactive customer and community engagement in response to recent media coverage.

MCE has continued proactive engagement with customers and community stakeholders in response to recent media coverage and public questions regarding power supply. Staff are coordinating outreach with various stakeholders and community members, including members of the Community Power Coalition, and stakeholders seeking additional information.

To support transparency and accessibility, MCE has centralized public-facing materials on its website, including responses to recent media coverage, fact sheets, and detailed question-and-answer resources. A homepage and Board meeting page alert now directs customers and stakeholders to these materials. These efforts are helping ensure accurate information is readily available while supporting informed customer decision-making.

Looking Ahead
We are closely monitoring customer movement and engagement trends in response to current rate positioning and will continue proactive outreach to support retention and understanding of MCE’s value.

Preparations are underway for the July 2026 relaunch of the EV rebate program to further support transportation electrification.

Staff are coordinating closely across Power Resources, Policy, Legal, Customer Operations, and Public Affairs to support upcoming discussions on power supply, including a public workshop to be scheduled in the coming months.

From: Alexandra McGee, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives Background:

As a commitment to MCE’s priority to “Be fiscally prudent and amplify our impact by applying for and utilizing state, federal and other funding,” staff formed an ‘Emerging Opportunities Tiger Team’ in early 2023 to secure external funding for MCE programs and community partners. Since then, this cross-departmental effort has met regularly to triage on funding opportunities, prepare for federal compliance requirements, and secure external grant writing support.

The Emerging Opportunities Tiger Team has continued to monitor, prepare for, engage with, and apply to various funding opportunities. Below is a monthly high-level summary of our recent work.

Completed:
• Partnered with Canal Alliance and Redwood Bikeshare to secure a $20,000 grant expanding e-bike access in San Rafael's Canal neighborhood — a low-income Latino community with significant transportation barriers. Rooted in resident-identified priorities, grant activities will include community workshops and a guided ride series, all culturally responsive and co-designed with the community. MCE already provides sponsors e-bikeshare memberships for 60 Canal residents.
• Collaborated with Rebuilding Together East Bay on a proposal for factory-built homes. If awarded, MCE would be part of the community outreach budget, eligible for a portion of $540,000 requested.
• Submitted MCE’s content for Contra Costa County’s Bay REPAIR proposal, including $1M for MCE’s Home Energy Storage program and $200k for MCE’s Green Workforce Pathways program.
• Submitted letter of support for Boys & Girls Club of Martinez to pursue electrification and energy efficiency retrofits for the facility.
• Provided GHG analysis for Benicia's Catalyst application to Bay REPAIR (including HVAC, thermostats, and EVs).

In progress:
• MCE is coordinating with the following to request funding from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s Local Community Investment Fund (due in late May):
o Richmond - $1.8M over 3-5 years to extend the Transformative Climate Communities partnership (electrification + roofs)
o Pittsburg – Bike lane and efficient lighting near Pittsburg BART station o Concord – solar + EV charging stations
o Vallejo – EV fleets; update senior center to a cooling center o Martinez – Solar + Battery Energy Storage + HVAC at Boys & Girls Club o Solano County - Workforce, revolving loan fund
o Benicia - Pass through grant proposal for households near the refinery o Urban Tilth – Electrification + tree planting
o First Five – Solar + Batter Energy Storage; EV charging stations; energy efficiency at a school in Vallejo
• Other grants shared with municipal partners
o Union Pacific Railroad community benefits fund (due April 30) o People's Air Grant (due May 29)
o Extreme Heat and Community Resilience grant program (due summer 2026) • Equitable Building Decarb enrollment for NorCal has begun. Meeting with implementer – AEA – to discuss strategy together, largely informational partners to refer project sites back and forth.
