Staff Report – Item 9.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Orange County Power Authority Board of Directors
From: Steven Halligan, Regulatory and Legislative Manager Approved By: Joe Mosca, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Date: July 16, 2024
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and File.
REGULATORY UPDATE
Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) staff are monitoring several ongoing regulatory proceedings at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), California Independent System Operation Corporation (CAISO), and California Energy Commission (CEC). A brief description of the proceeding and any current status updates are provided below.
Provider of Last Resort (POLR) - R.21-03-011
The CPUC issued a Scoping Ruling on September 16, 2021, to set forth the scope in the POLR proceeding. This proceeding implements the POLR requirements and framework directed by SB 520. The POLR proceeding will be considered in three phases. Phase 1 will focus on issues necessary to establish a comprehensive framework for existing POLRs. Phase 2 will set rules that allow a different entity to be designated as the POLR. Phase 3 may be opened to consider any additional issues not covered in Phase 1 or Phase 2.
A decision was adopted on April 18, 2024. The decision requires all CCAs, regardless of their financial standing or years of operation, to provide to Energy Division a copy of their most recent audited financial information. The audited financial statement shall be provided once a year, in January or July, whichever comes earlier relative to the availability of the audited financial statement. OCPA submitted a copy of their most recent annual audited financial statement to Energy Division on July 1, 2024.
CCA’s must also monitor and report within 10 days if their DLOH is less than 45 days, cash reserves fall below 5% of annual expenses, defaults on one or more procurement contracts required to meet RA requirements, or receives a credit rating below BBB-/Baa3.
All CCA’s submitted an Advice Letter (AL) on July 1 describing in greater detail financial monitoring and reporting guidelines. The AL includes details on how and when to evaluate the conditions for two-tier financial reporting and additional guidance on the reported financial information for tier-two reporting.
Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) Program – R.18-07-003 & R.24-01-017 The RPS proceeding monitors compliance by “retail sellers,” including IOUs, CCAs and ESPs, within the RPS program. Current RPS rules require 60 percent of retail sales to be from RPS-eligible resources by 2030, and at least 65 percent of the procurement a retail seller counts toward the RPS requirements to be from long-term contracts (ten years or more in duration). In addition, the RPS proceeding is the venue in which the PCIA/RPS Voluntary Allocation and Market Offer (VAMO) is being considered.
The Commission opened a new proceeding, R.24-01-017 to continue implementation and administration of the RPS program.
A delay in the receipt of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) for renewable transitions, including the IOU VAMO contracts is affecting Load Serving Entities (LSE’s) across the state including most CCA’s. The delays stem from a software issue in the WREGIS, which issues the RECs. These delays could impact compliance deadlines at the CEC (Power Source Disclosure, Power Content Label, and Renewable Portfolio Standards), the CPUC (Joint Rate Mailer, Renewable Portfolio Standards), and California Air Resources Board (CARB) (Mandatory Reporting Requirements).
The CEC has extended the deadline for the PSD LSE filings for a second time from July 1, 2024 (originally June 1), to July 29, 2024. This has also resulted in a delay of the Joint Rate Mailers to at least August 1, 2024.
Resource Adequacy (RA) - R.21-10-002 and R.23-10-011
The OIR for R.21-10-002 set forth the following objectives: to continue the CPUC’s oversight of the RA program, to consider broader structural reforms to the program, and to establish RA procurement obligations for LSEs beginning with the 2023 RA year. This proceeding is split into two tracks. The implementation track has considered near term reforms, including the adoption of the local and flexible capacity requirements, reforms to the CPE structure, modifications to the PRM, and revisions to RA counting. The reform track considers broader structural changes to effectuate a 24-hour SOD framework.
The OIR for R.23-10-011 continues the CPUC’s oversight of the RA program, establishes forward RA procurement obligations applicable to LSEs beginning with the 2025 compliance year, and considers structural reforms to the program. This proceeding is the successor to proceeding R.21- 10-002 and includes the following issues in scope: Adoption of local and flexible RA requirements, LOLE study and PRM, 24-hour SOD framework ,UCAP, QC counting conventions, RA compliance and penalties, and other refinements to the RA program.
A proposed decision (PD) was issued on May 17, 2024. The PD declines to delay Slice of Day (SOD), adopts a 17 percent PRM, rejects temporary system RA waivers, and allows new resources with a COD after T-30 and before the start of the RA compliance month (T-1) to count towards that month’s RA compliance, on an interim basis during the summer months of July and September. CalCCA filed reply comments on June 11, 2024 that: 1) Parties that filed Opening Comments agree that the PD errs by neglecting to discuss and adopt hourly load obligation trading, 2) Opening Comments support actions needed to investigate and address extreme RA market challenges, 3) the SOD framework is not ready for 2025 implementation without major revisions to the the PD, and 4) the CPUC must inform PRM on robust modeling that reflects the compliance framework.
The Track 1 PD was voted out at the CPUC’s June 20, 2024 voting meeting. Track 2 will no longer consider IRP-RA cooridnation issues, as the CPUC rules that these issues wil be considered following the development of the Reliability and Clean Power Procurement Program (RCPPP) in the RA proceeding. The Track 2 schedule was modified via June 26, 2024 ruling to provide more time for Energy Division to complete it Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE) study. A PD is expected in November 2024.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
The State Legislator went on summer recess beginning July 4. They return on August 5. The deadline for bills to be heard in Committee is August 16. August 31 is the last day for each house to pass bills.
Of the 94 pieces of legislation being tracked by OCPA, 44 are no longer active. A list of active legislation being monitored is attached.
SB 867 (Allen) – Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024 (Climate Bond)
This bill would enact the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024, which, if approved by the voters, would authorize the issuance of bonds in the amount of $10 billion. The funding would be distributed as follows:
• $3.8B for safe drinking water, drought, flood, and water resilience. • $1.5B for wildfire and forest resilience programs
• $1.2B for coastal resilience programs
• $450M for extreme heat mitigation programs
• $1.2B for biodiversity protection and nature-based climate solution programs • $300M for climate-smart, sustainable, and resilient farms, ranches, and working lands • $700M for park creation and outdoor access programs
• $850M for clean air programs
o $50M of above in grants or loans for Energy Storage including backup assets, VPP, and DSGS.
o $475M of above for development of offshore wind generation There is a companion bill – AB 440 (Pellerin and Blakespear) - which would require both the Climate Bond (SB 867) and the Education Bond (AB 247) to be presented to voters together – essentially binding the two Bonds together.

Staff Report – Item 9.6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Orange County Power Authority Board of Directors
From: Tiffany Law, Chief Financial Officer
Approved: Joe Mosca, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: RATIFY RATES EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2024
Date: July 16, 2024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Ratify rates effective July 1, 2024.
BACKGROUND
The rate design of the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) depends on Southern California Edison’s (SCE) generation rates and the Power Charge Indifference Adjustments (PCIA). In January 2024, the Board approved the OCPA 2024 rate design. This design includes Basic Choice rates set at a 3% discount to SCE’s equivalent generation rates, Smart Choice rates set at 1.0 cent per kWh greater than Basic Choice rates, and 100% Renewable Choice rates set at 1.5 cents per kWh greater than Basic Choice rates.
On December 28, 2023, SCE filed an advice letter to update its electric rates effective January 1, 2024, to reflect the final ERRA Forecast and related balancing accounts.
On February 27, 2024, SCE filed an advice letter to update its electric rates effective March 1, 2024, to reflect SCE’s new cost of capital approved by the CPUC.
On May 29, 2024, SCE filed an advice letter again to update its electric rates, effective June 1, 2024, to reduce SCE’s bundled generation rates by approximately 7% due to removing the 2023 ERRA Trigger surcharge.
This June 2024 rate reduction has negatively impacted OCPA's revenues, with a projected decrease of about $7 million from June through December 2024. Therefore, based on the condition set forth by the board in January 2024, OCPA’s Basic Choice rates will not increase to 4% relative to SCE’s equivalent generation rates starting in October 2024, as the decrease in revenue exceeds the $5.3 million threshold.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Due to Calpine’s billing system requirements, OCPA’s rates became effective on July 1, 2024.
The attached July 1, 2024, OCPA rate schedules have been published on the OCPA website. These rates have been communicated to customers on their bills and implemented in the OCPA rates comparison tool, also available on the OCPA website.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Board’s ratification of the OCPA July 2024 rates has no fiscal impact.

The Wildfire Fund Non‐Bypassable Charge (WFC) supports the California Wildfire Fund. This charge is assessed to all customers, including SCE‐only customers, but is collected separately for CCA customers. The funds go to the State of California for potential disbursement to IOUs, such as SCE, if a catastrophic event occurs. Customers on CARE and Medical Baseline Programs are currently exempt from these charges.

Surcharge
The Generation Municipal Surcharge (GMS) Factor recovers franchise fees paid by SCE to operate within certain municipal jurisdictions within California. This charge is assessed to all customers, including SCE‐only customers, but is collected separately for CCA customers. The charge equals the product of the GMS factor and the SCE rates or charges that have been removed from the bill of a customer receiving CCA service. An exemption applies to CA political subdivision and certain cogeneration or nonutility generation facilities. It is the responsibility of the customer to self‐identify for exemption.
The ongoing Competition Transition Charge (CTC) recovers the CPUC‐approved market price limit for legacy electricity contracts (signed prior to 1998), as well as statutorily authorized costs that are related to restructuring of California’s electric industry prior to the energy crisis. These charges are assessed to all customers, including SCE‐only customers, but are collected separately for CCA customers and go directly to SCE.

The PCIA is considered an "exit fee" assessed by SCE to cover costs for departing customers; resources acquired prior to a customer's change in service providers, and to ensure their current customers are “indifferent” to costs associated with the departed customers. SCE assigns customers a "PCIA Vintage" based on the date a customer’s respective community enrolled in alternative service; this date is reset upon reenrollment if a customer opts‐out and later re‐enrolls in OCPA service. The PCIA is charged on a per kWh basis based on net monthly usage, and is unaffected by time of use.

Staff Report – Item 9.7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Orange County Power Authority Board of Directors
From: Joe Mosca, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING LOCAL
PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING CLAIMS
Date: July 16, 2024
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a Resolution of the Board of Directors of Orange County Power Authority Adopting a Government Claims Presentation Policy.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
State law generally governs claims against local agencies for money damages, including how they must be presented, when the local must act upon them, and when a claimant may file a lawsuit against the local agency if his or her claim is denied. However, certain types of claims are not automatically governed by State law procedures. For these type of claims, State law allows local agencies to adopt local procedures, provided that those local procedures are consistent with State law. OCPA has not previously adopted a local claims procedure. In order to promote administrative efficiency and consistency, OCPA staff and the General Counsel are presenting the attached Resolution and Claims Policy to the Board of Directors to establish a local claims procedure, consistent with State law.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The California Government Claims Act (Government Code, Sections 900 et seq.) (the “Act”) generally governs claims against local agencies for money damages. The Act provides detailed procedures for how and when a claim must be presented (6 months or 1 year from accrual, depending on the claim), deadlines for when the local agency must act upon a claim (45 days from presentation), and statutes of limitation to file a lawsuit after the local agency denies a claim.
Certain types of claims are not generally covered by the Act, such as: (i) claims by public employees for fees, salaries, wages, expenses, etc., (ii) local tax, assessment or fee refunds, and (iii) claims for money sought from OCPA by the State or another local public entity. When these types of claims are not governed by another statute orstate regulation, theAct allowslocal agencies to address them by local ordinance, resolution or regulation, provided that: (i) the local process does not set a shorter time to file a claim than provided in the Act, and (ii) the local process does not give OCPA more time to act on a claim than provided in the Act.
OCPA has not previously adopted local claims procedures. In order to eliminate uncertainty, and to promote administrative efficiency and consistency, OCPA staff and the General Counsel are presenting the attached Resolution and Claims Policy so that all claims OCPA receives will be addressed through the same procedures.
FISCAL IMPACT
None for the adoption of the resolution establishing the claim policy.

Only those claims with proper and sufficient contents, as provided in Section 3(c), and presented in a timely fashion shall be rejected or allowed. i. OCPA may conduct an investigation of the claim If OCPA’s findings support the allegations set forth in the claim, OCPA may attempt to settle the claim with the claimant in whole or in part.
ii. The Board or its designee may act on a claim in one of the following ways:
1. Reject the claim if the Board or its designee finds the claim is not a proper charge against OCPA;
2. Allow the claim if the Board or its designee finds the claim is a proper charge against OCPA and is for an amount justly due;
3. Either reject the claim or allow it in the amount justly due and reject it as to the balance if the Board or its designee finds the claim is a proper charge against OCPA but is for an amount greater than is justly due;
4. Reject the claim or compromise it if legal liability of OCPA or the amount justly due is disputed.
iii. If OCPA rejects the claim, OCPA may notify the claimant in writing in the manner required by Government Code Section 915.4 that the claimant can pursue the matter in court subject to the applicable statute of limitations in Government Code Section 945.6.

ORANGE COUNTY POWER AUTHORITY
Staff Report – Item 9.8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Orange County Power Authority Board of Directors
From: Joe Mosca, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: UPDATE ANNUAL ENERGY USE AND VOTING SHARES
Date: July 16, 2024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve update to the weighted voting exhibits of OCPA’s Joint Powers Agreement.
BACKGROUND
Weighted voting allows Directors to vote in accordance with the proportion of electricity used by users within their respective jurisdictions. This type of voting can be invoked by two or more Directors in limited circumstances, such as when there is a tie vote by the Board for Directors or to immediately nullify an action that was passed by an “equal vote” of the Board.
Weighted voting is governed by Section 3.9.3 of the Joint Powers Agreement. This section provides a formula for the first two years following the Effective Date of the Agreement (during which time the JPA is getting up and running and will not be serving load directly) and a separate formula following the second anniversary of the Effective Date (which is based on actual electrical use served by OCPA to accounts within each member jurisdiction). The exhibits for weighted voting are required to be updated each year no later than March 1 based on prior year numbers.
The exhibits for weighted voting were most recently updated on February 20, 2024 based on 2023 electrical use data. This proposed update would reflect the withdrawal of the City of Huntington Beach, which was effective on June 30, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT

DISCUSSION
Customer Programs at OCPA empower us to reinvest in the communities we proudly serve. These initiatives include various grants, incentives, discounts, offers, and rebates designed to benefit our community members. This report provides an overview of the historical progression, current active programs, and the future trajectory of our expanding initiatives.
Enhancing Community Impact Through Customer Programs
OCPA has established partnerships and initiatives that mirror successful models from other Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs, such as the Bright Futures Grant, Residential Marketplace, and OhmConnect. Additionally, our customers benefit from essential financial assistance programs administered by Southern California Edison (SCE) – California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) and Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA), administered by Southern California Edison (SCE), – helping eligible families manage their energy costs effectively. OCPA has also recently launched new programs such as the E-Bike Safety & Incentive Pilot Program, Bioenergy Market Adjusting Tariff (BioMAT), Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) Pilot Program, and the Summer Readiness Pilot Program.
Looking ahead, OCPA is committed to amplifying its customer programs through the Community Power Plan. This comprehensive strategy aims to develop innovative programs that reinvest in our local communities and advance environmental sustainability across our member cities, aligning with their ambitious climate action goals.
OCPA is committed to supporting customer programs by bolstering other grant opportunities such as the Calpine Community Energy Foundation Grant, Equitable Building Decarbonization Grant Application, Elect to Administer Energy Efficient Programs.
Bright Futures Grant
One of our flagship programs, the Bright Futures Grant, commenced last year as an annual funding opportunity that supports local non-profits, schools, and educators in underrepresented communities. This grant fosters collaboration among diverse partners to enhance renewable energy education and promote awareness of renewable energy and CCA benefits. Encouraging creativity and community engagement, successful applicants can receive grants of up to $20,000.
This year, we received 11 applications and 277 landing page visits; we also provided office hours for applicants to meet with OCPA’s Programs Analyst and ask questions, which many applicants used. Grant winners will be decided at the September Board of Directors Meeting. In the Fall, we will also support and market the Community Energy Fountain grant program administered by Calpine.
Residential Product Marketplace
Our Residential Product Marketplace offers a convenient online platform for residents to access various home energy products. This program incentivizes purchasing smart home devices and energy-efficient products such as LED bulbs, smart thermostats, and energy monitors. By making these products accessible through discounts, we empower our customers to make sustainable choices that benefit their homes and the environment.
OhmConnect Partnership
Through our partnership with OhmConnect, OCPA customers can participate in a rewarding energy-saving program. OhmConnect alerts users to peak energy usage periods and incentivizes them to reduce electricity consumption. Participants earn rewards, including gift cards and cash via PayPal, for their energy-saving efforts, contributing to cost savings and environmental stewardship.
E-Bike Safety and Incentive Pilot Program
Launched on July 1st, 2024, our E-Bike Safety and Incentive Pilot Program promotes safe e-bike usage among customers aged 18 and above. Through local bike shop vouchers, participants can purchase electric bicycles and helmets at significantly reduced costs. To ensure safety, all voucher recipients must complete mandatory e-bike safety training available online and in person. This initiative supports accessibility to sustainable transportation options while prioritizing rider safety.
The E-bike voucher provides a $600 discount for a standard Level 1 or 2 e-bike and an income-qualified $1,500 discount. The program is off to a strong start after reaching a 77-person interest list.
Bioenergy Market Adjusting Tariff (BioMAT)
The Bioenergy Market Adjusting Tariff (BioMAT) program is available to community energy providers, and Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) is one of the first in California to participate. Facilitated through the California Public Utilities Commission, the BioMAT program is designed for small energy generators less than 5 MW in size and must be located in OCPA member cities. Program participants can generate revenue while helping produce renewable energy purchased by OCPA, directly benefiting member cities.
Electricity generated as part of the BioMAT program counts toward OCPA’s Renewable Portfolio Standard targets. It promotes the development of clean energy projects, stimulates the local economy, and contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Small-scale bioenergy projects can be procured in three categories:
1. Biogas from wastewater treatment, municipal organic waste diversion, food processing, and co-digestion
2. Dairy and other agricultural bioenergy
3. Bioenergy using byproducts of sustainable forest management Feed-in-Tariff Pilot Program
In Orange County, the Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) pilot program encourages investment in small-scale solar generation systems built on rooftops, parking lots, in-fill space, etc. OCPA will offer a premium purchasing price for energy generated to offset the higher costs of building these smaller solar projects. The total program capacity for the pilot program is 2 MWh. As OCPA executes FiT contracts, the available capacity will be updated. Incentives range from $1-$5/MWh, depending on the size of the project.
Under the FiT program, OCPA is only the buyer of electricity and does not develop, build, or own the generating systems. The OCPA website has full details and applications.
Summer Readiness Pilot Program
The Summer Readiness Pilot Program is OCPA’s newest demand response program for large-load businesses. The program is designed to help reduce grid stress and save on energy costs during peak summer months. The program will operate during August and September, offering a $1 rebate for every kWh of reduced energy use, with a maximum incentive of $10,000 per event.
Supporting Low-Income Qualifying Customer Programs
At OCPA, we are committed to supporting affordability for all our customers. We actively promote programs like Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) and California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE), offering substantial discounts on electricity bills to eligible households. FERA provides an 18% discount for qualifying families, while CARE offers up to 30% off for eligible individuals and households participating in public assistance programs. https://www.sce.com/residential/assistance/fera-care
Community Power Plan (CPP)
Central to our future initiatives, the Community Power Plan (CPP) will refine our community investment strategy based on comprehensive needs assessments. Through extensive outreach efforts, including multilingual surveys and collaborative workshops, we will prioritize customer feedback and community priorities. It will evaluate program feasibility and develop recommendations aligned with community needs and sustainability goals, leveraging technical assistance and grant management to maximize program impact.
Through extensive outreach efforts, including multilingual surveys and collaborative workshops, we will prioritize customer feedback and community priorities. OCPA issued an RFP for our CPP, and the qualified applicants will be presented for Board approval in September.
Other Funding Opportunities
More customer programs may come sooner than the completion of the Community Power Plan (CPP). For instance, in the Fall, the Community Energy Foundation Grant was administered by Calpine, which is a community grant of up to $150,000 to support OCPA's mission and project that is beneficial to the OCPA community. Other funding opportunities OCPA staff has applied for or will apply for are the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Equitable Building Decarbonization (EBD) grant and the CPUC’s Elect to Administer Energy Efficient Programs opportunity. OCPA applied as a subgrantee to CEC’s Equitable Building Decarbonization grant to support the SoCal EBD Coalition in delivering a successful decarbonization program for households in the eligible area in our member cities; the budget, if awarded, is $152,000 over a 5- year period. The Elect to Administer Energy Efficient Programs is a program OCPA originally applied to last year and is now reapplying as CCA’s just got the official notice that they are eligible to apply, and OCPA is now looking to reapplying.
Conclusion
The future of OCPA's customer programs is grounded in innovation, sustainability, and community collaboration. As we continue to evolve and expand our initiatives under the Community Power Plan, we remain dedicated to enhancing community well-being, promoting environmental responsibility, and ensuring equitable access to energy resources across Orange County.
By fostering partnerships, embracing innovation, and prioritizing community needs, OCPA is poised to lead in customer-focused energy programs that make a tangible difference in our customers' lives and the sustainability of our communities.
The staff is open to questions and comments.

Deadline for applications is July 1, 2024.
Community energy is new to Orange County, but it’s
not new to California. Assembly Bill 117 was passed
in 2002 to establish Community Choice Aggregation
(CCA), also known as community energy, which allows
communities to join together to give Californians the
opportunity to choose their electric provider and the
source of the electricity purchased on their behalf
to put onto the electrical grid. CCAs are succeeding
all over the state, with 25 providers offering reliable and affordable clean energy to local customers and
delivering innovative reinvestment programs that
benefit local needs and state Climate Action Goals.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND
On September 13, 2023, the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) Board of Directors granted the Chief Executive Officer the authority to negotiate and execute agreements with The Irvine Company (TIC) for office space. An agreement was reached with TIC on February 19, 2024. The new office space required extensive tenant improvements to meet OCPA's needs. OCPA is expected to move into the new office space mid-to-late August.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Construction Update
Construction remains on schedule, with an estimated completion date of August 9, 2024. As of July 5, demolition, electrical, HVAC, framing, cabling, and drywall have been completed. Ceiling, millwork, lighting, and painting are in progress. Items still pending include flooring and doors.
Signage has been ordered and is expected to be installed in August 2024. All costs associated with the construction are expected to be covered by the tenant improvement credits provided by TIC.
Any remaining tenant improvement credits can be used for furniture costs.
Furniture Update
On April 30, 2024, the OCPA Board of Directors approved a furniture and installation service agreement with GM Business Interiors with a not-to-exceed amount of $250,000. After extensive staff feedback on styles, colors, and design, furniture was ordered on June 18, 2024. Furniture for offices, conference room, board room, cubicles, and breakroom are expected to be delivered and installed by mid-August. It is expected that the furniture costs will be below the not-to-exceed amount. The furniture costs are being offset by a $200,000 credit from Calpine. Additional furniture costs will be offset by any remaining tenant improvement credits. If those credits do not cover the remaining costs, additional funds have been allocated in the FY24/25 budget.
AV Update
Cabling for the internet, security, and AV has been completed. A preliminary AV equipment list for the Boardroom has been created, and quotes for equipment and installation of cameras, speakers, and microphones will be requested shortly. Boardroom AV will be installed after the “dust-free” date, expected mid-to-late August. The AV equipment is expected to be ready for the September 2024 Board meeting. The AV equipment and installation costs have been budgeted for in the FY 24/25 budget.

Subject: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT
Date: July 16, 2024
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 30th Special OCPA Board Meeting
We have scheduled a special board meeting for July 30th at 10:00 AM. The only item on the agenda is to receive the analysis of the energy load data and feasibility study and to consider formally inviting the city of Fountain Valley to join OCPA.
Huntington Beach Return Update
The transition of Huntington Beach customers is nearly complete. Phase one disconnects are 100% complete, with the OCPA and SCE teams still monitoring the return of 10 NEM accounts. Phase two is progressing well, with 55,286 (96.9%) disconnects initiated and 42,331 (74.2%) completed returns for non-NEM customers.
Summer Readiness Program for Commercial Customers
We have initiated a Summer Readiness Pilot Program for our main commercial customers, encouraging them to decrease their energy usage during critical dates, high peak loads, and severe weather events.
The Finance, Data Analytics, and Communications & External Affairs teams collaborated on messaging, program materials, and outreach strategies. We are excited to share the program's results in future reports.
Progress Being Made Toward the Launch of our Community Power Plan The RFP for the Community Power Plan (CPP) resulted in seven (7) submissions. The panel interviewed four (4) finalists and will recommend awards for your future consideration. The RFP was structured to allow OCPA to hire contractors to develop the CPP, provide technical assistance, implement programs, and manage grants. This will enable OCPA to build a team of experts capable of providing all services essential to expediting OCPA’s expansion of customer programs.
NEW Office Space Update
OCPA is scheduled to move to our new office located at 250 Barranca Parkway, Suite 250, Irvine, in August. Construction is expected to be completed on August 9th. Subsequently, we will commence with the delivery and assembly of furniture and installing audiovisual equipment in the boardroom. The office is anticipated to be fully operational and open to the public after Labor Day.
We will keep you updated on our progress. Please refer to the regular calendar agenda item on this month’s board agenda for more information.
The OCPA Board of Directors does not have any meetings scheduled for August. Therefore, the first meeting at our new office location will be on Tuesday, September 17th.
Human Resources Update
The Director of Power Resources recruitment process has been completed, and we have successfully found a great candidate who has accepted the offer. The new Director of Power Resources will begin on August 1
st and attend the July Board meeting to introduce himself.
Technical Training for OCPA Staff
In June, our staff received two technical presentations from Pacific Energy Advisors (PEA) and The Energy Authority (TEA). Kirby Dusel from PEA provided an in-depth introduction to the energy market, also known as Energy 101. Jaclynn Harr and Shubh Bhullar from TEA provided an overview of CAISO and introduced staff to the intricacies of the day-ahead and real-time energy markets. Both presentations offer foundational knowledge and will be included in OCPA’s internal training resources.
I will continue working with the staff to organize more training opportunities, aiming to enhance the technical knowledge of all OCPA staff members. This will ultimately improve customer service and better collaboration with our key partners.
Workplace Violence Prevention
This year, OSHA, the State of California’s Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration, adopted Labor Code 6401.9, requiring all employers with over 5 employees to adopt a Workplace Violence Prevention Program to address hazards associated with workplace violence. The Program and its associated employee training define four types of workplace violence and require that the program be reviewed regularly and revised as necessary.
Gabriele Friedman, our Senior Human Resources Analyst, has drafted a program that is compliant with OSHA’s requirements, which will be implemented soon. Initial training on the Program began last week and will be ongoing for all staff and Board members. As part of the Program, Irvine Police Department Officer Rick Gramer visited our worksite to evaluate any safety risks immediately apparent and found very few. The Program and these actions will be repeated once OCPA has moved to our new office.
