TO: Honorable Peninsula Clean Energy Authority Board of Directors FROM: Rafael Reyes, Senior Director of Energy Programs
SUBJECT: Approval of Four Member Agency Energy Grants Agreements in the Amount of $3,876,862 for Clean Energy Projects Pursuant to the 2023 Surplus Funds Allocation
Item No. 1

PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
JPA Board Correspondence

RECOMMENDATION
Approval of agreements with four member agencies for an amount totaling $3,876,862 for clean energy projects under the Member Agency Energy Grant program from the 2023 surplus funds allocation.

BACKGROUND
Peninsula Clean Energy’s mission is to expand access to sustainable and affordable energy solutions. As part of that mission, in December 2023, the Board approved a package of customer rebates and community reinvestments totaling $68 million. The community reinvestments included the creation of the Member Agency Energy Grants.

The Member Agency Energy Grants are a one-time allocation of $11.5 million for self-directed member agency projects consistent with Peninsula Clean Energy’s mission. The funds available for each member agency were determined by formula, taking the maximum of either percentage of customers or percentage of load within that jurisdiction. The program opened in February 2024.

DISCUSSION
Four member agencies have submitted proposals at this time for a range of projects. The agencies, their allocation, and intended projects are listed below.

City Allocation Project
County of San
Mateo
$765,038 Home electrification, EV charging, fleet EVs
Daly City $1,059,658 EV charging and solar on city facilities Menlo Park $786,300 Recreation center electrification
6 Redwood City $1,265,866 Fleet EV charging
Agencies have 24 months to complete their projects and funding is generally released in two tranches, up to 50% up front and the balance of funds at the conclusion of the project with documentation of expenses. Some projects will layer with other PCE programs such as EV charging incentives or the local government electrification loan program. Legal counsel advised that these grants constitute a contract with the member agency and require Board approval due to exceeding $250,000 each.

The subject agreements are in various stages of review and approval with each member agency. These are the final agreements to execute under the member agency grant program;17 other member agencies have already executed agreements or are in-progress.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this program was part of the 2023 surplus fund allocation and is included in the Board-approved Community Energy Programs budget.

PCE Member Agency Grant Application
The San Mateo County Sustainability Department proposes four projects for the PCE Member Agency Grant allocation totaling $765,038.

Project Sector Cost
(1) Electrify 12 homes through PCE’s whole-home
electrification program.

Building Energy $387,464
(2) Purchase electric vehicles for County Motor Pool Fleet. Transportation $258,234 (3) Install public EV charging at Pescadero Fire Station. Transportation $79,340 (4) Pilot subsidies for 20-40 households to receive
electrification upgrades through BayREN EASE program.

Building Energy $40,000
PROJECT 1: Electrify 12 homes through PCE’s whole-home electrification program.

Overview: The County proposes layering on funding to PCE’s Whole-Home Electrification Program to support the participation of an additional 12 single-family homes in unincorporated San Mateo County.

This project would directly support the County’s Community Climate Action Plan (CCAP), which is a strategic roadmap to guide unincorporated San Mateo County in preparing for climate risks and creating impactful greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reductions. CCAP outlines priority actions to achieve a 45% reduction of GHG emissions over 1990 levels by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2040.

This project aligns with CCAP policy B-2: convert existing buildings to all-electric. The County recognizes the need to prioritize vulnerable and historically marginalized populations in the clean energy transition.

Supplementing PCE’s program, which targets low-wealth residents, is in line with this priority.

As discussed with PCE staff, the County proposes that PCE administer the program in line with existing program plans. The Sustainability Department will lead on program outreach for the additional households that are funded by this grant, leveraging other resources for outreach efforts, and can provide recommendations on households to target. The Department will also collaborate closely with PCE on communicating results and outcomes.

The criteria for selecting households would align with PCE’s program scope. The Department proposes inclusion of the following program elements where appropriate and for those households that are willing to participate. These elements may already be in line with the existing program:
• Tracking of utility bill data to provide concrete information about the cost of electrifying existing buildings.
• Inclusion of additional home upgrades that may be necessary to motivate program participation, e.g. solar/battery for households that experience frequent power outages or for energy burdened households. This cost is included in the proposed budget. The process/criteria for selecting additional upgrades will be determined in partnership with PCE. • Case studies on households that can be shared publicly to showcase details of the process, challenges and benefits.

Outcomes and Benefit: Residents who participate in the program receive no-cost upgrades from outdated gas appliances to safer, healthier and more energy-efficient options. The Sustainability 17 2
Department sees this project as an important opportunity to provide real, locally contextualized information about the cost of electrification, illuminate barriers to whole-home electrification that may be specific to unincorporated, and provide insight about what it might take to scale. This project will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from residential buildings in unincorporated County and help meet CCAP goals of electrifying 16% of existing buildings by 2030.

Timeline: The following is the expected timeline, which will be adjusted as needed based on PCE’s program timeline:
• September – December 2025: Collaborate with PCE to understand program criteria and existing plans and develop detailed project plan. Contract with community-based organization (CBO) to manage outreach.
• January – April 2026: CBO begins outreach and enrollment of households. • May – June 2026: Implementation begins.
• July – October 2026: Additional outreach and enrollment as needed; implementation continues. • November – December 2026: Assess program progress and adjust project plan as needed based on participation. Begin to develop case studies and other materials that can be used in outreach and communications.

PROJECT 2: Purchase electric vehicles for County vehicle fleet.

Overview: The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors adopted the Government Operations Climate Action Plan (GOCAP) in 2021, directing departments to electrify 100% of light- and medium-duty fleets by 2035. To support this goal, the County developed the Facilities Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Plan to identify charging infrastructure required to support a fully electrified fleet at County-owned facilities. In addition, the County is developing Fleet Transition Plans for departments to guide the electrification of over 1,000 vehicles and equipment.

The County proposes using a portion of the grant to support implementation of projects identified during the planning process for the EV Infrastructure Plan and the Fleet Transition Plans. For this project, the County will purchase six EVs to replace existing Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) fleet vehicles in the County’s motor pool fleet. The County’s motor pool fleet provides shared vehicles for employees who need transportation for work purposes, particularly when their departments do not have dedicated vehicles. These vehicles are not assigned to individuals and are available on a check-out basis.

Outcomes and Benefit: By electrifying six motor pool vehicles, the County will reduce vehicle emissions by an estimated 7,320 kg of CO₂ annually. Transitioning these vehicles to zero emission alternatives supports the County’s Government Operations fleet electrification goal and moves the County closer to achieving its emissions reductions targets.

Timeline:
• July - September 2025: Get updated quotes from vendor and purchase vehicles.

PROJECT 3: Install public EV charging at Pescadero Fire Station.

Overview: Pescadero is an unincorporated area along the south coast of San Mateo County. The Pescadero Fire Station is a new facility being constructed by the County of San Mateo Project Development Unit. The new station will be built on a section of land adjacent to Pescadero High School 18 3
located at 350 Butano Cutoff, replacing the existing station #59 at 1200 Pescadero Creek Road. The schematic design for the site is complete and the project has received entitlement approvals. The County proposes using grant funding for the installation of four L2 EV charging ports for public use at this site. (The County is exploring the feasibility of installing DC fast chargers at this site and will work with PCE on adjustments as needed.)
Outcomes and Benefit: Currently there are no publicly available EV chargers in Pescadero or nearby areas. The closest public charging station is over 18 miles away in Half Moon Bay. Installing four L2 charging ports at the Pescadero Fire Station will significantly increase public access to EV chargers for Pescadero residents and south coast communities, better enabling community members to purchase EVs while providing charging to those traveling on Highway 1. This project is in support of CCAP Policy T-1.2, install public EV charging stations.

Timeline:
• January – April 2026: Bid for fire station construction. • April – June 2026: Contract awarded.
• July – October 2026: Construction begins.
• July – September 2027: Charging equipment procured.
• January 2028: Project complete, chargers activated and ready for use.

PROJECT 4: Pilot subsidies for 20-40 single-family households to receive electrification upgrades through BayREN EASE program.

Overview: The Bay Area Regional Energy Network (BayREN) has launched a new program called the Efficiency and Sustainable Energy (EASE) Home program, which helps income-eligible residents make energy upgrades for comfort and health. The EASE program is targeted to moderate-income residents (under or at 120% AMI) in single-family homes, with a particular focus on non-English speaking households and those that live in pollution-burdened areas. BayREN’s EASE Home program is designed to make it easier for these customers to overcome the hurdles to program participation, including high upfront costs, language barriers, and administrative challenges in navigating rebate programs and seeking out contractors.

Program participants receive:
• A free site visit and customized energy recommendations from a trained expert • Comprehensive support, from permit and rebate applications to installation • Low-cost energy upgrades, such as insulation and duct sealing The BayREN EASE program will cover up to 80% of the costs for retrofit measures such as insulation, duct sealing, and a smart thermostat. Households have a co-payment of 20% or $1,000, whichever is lower. The co-pay level is based on research that BayREN conducted to investigate willingness to pay among moderate income households.

San Mateo County will implement the program from September 2025 through September 2026 and has a target to enroll 140 residents. The County will be targeting homes in the northern half of San Mateo County, as well as North Fair Oaks (NFO), an unincorporated neighborhood. The County proposes allocating a portion of the PCE Member Agency grant funding to run a pilot in NFO to provide an 19 4
additional subsidy of $1,000-$2,000 for households to put towards an electrification measure of their choice. The household would be responsible for the cost of the additional measure, beyond the subsidy, but the EASE program implementer will help the household navigate the installation as part of the overall program. The County welcomes feedback from PCE on the subsidy amount for this pilot.

Outcomes and Benefit: The BayREN program is designed to help communities achieve health, comfort, safety and savings through energy upgrades, and targets moderate-income residents who are often not eligible for income-qualified programs. The aim of this pilot is to leverage the EASE program to encourage additional electrification measures and reduce emissions from residential buildings in unincorporated, furthering Community Climate Action Plan goals.

Timeline:
• July – September 2025: Finalize pilot design and contract with community-based organization (CBO) to lead outreach.
• September 2025: Program launches and CBO begins to develop program pipeline. • September – December 2025: Outreach and enrollment.
• January – June 2026: Examine program progress and conduct additional outreach as needed. • July – December 2026: Home and electrification upgrades are installed. • December 2026: Program evaluation.

The City of Daly City Green Vision Climate Action Plan was adopted on December 13, 2010. This plan focuses on the City’s commitment to the responsible and efficient use of energy and natural resources. The plan has been implemented for reducing carbon emissions, reducing energy consumption, and conserving natural resources.

The City is eligible for $1,059,658 under the one-time grant from Peninsula Clean Energy. With those funds, the City plans to purchase two (2) portable EV ARC charging systems and the ARC Mobility Trailer or similar system. EV ARC™ systems are capable of generating and storing enough clean, solar electricity to charge up to 265 e-miles in a single day. Thanks to its battery storage, it can charge electric vehicles day or night, or even during periods of cloudiness, and is also an excellent source of emergency/alternative power. The electricity produced is clean and renewable, reducing 100% of greenhouse gas emissions from internal combustion engine vehicles (ICE) vehicles and electric vehicles powered from the utility grid. The EV ARC™ is deployed in minutes without any construction or electrical work and does not require civil or electrical engineering, foundations, trenching, electrical connections or upgrades. It will produce energy reliably and consistently but will not generate a utility bill or fail to operate because of a black out or other utility grid failure. The total cost for this purchase is approximately $230,000
The remaining funds would be used to buy down some of the cost for the solar projects Peninsula Clean Energy is assisting Daly City with (i.e. buy down cost to install a carport mounted system at City Hall) as well as new solar at other city facilities such as fire stations, libraries and recreational facilities as funds are available.

Once the agreement is executed with Peninsula Clean Energy, the City would move forward with purchasing the portable charging systems.

RE: City of Menlo Park Member Agency Grant Proposal
Empty
Dear Rafael,
The City of Menlo Park is pleased to propose the following project for funding through the PCE Member Agency Grant program.

Arrillaga Family Recreation Center (ARC) Electrification & Resilience Retrofit Overview and description
The City has a goal to eliminate fossil fuel from city operations by 2030. The ARC is a community-serving facility that provides several meeting rooms, event spaces, a fitness studio, commercial kitchen and offices for city staff. This intergenerational facility serves a mix of many residents at any one time. The site is a designated cooling center during extreme heat events and is identified as a short- and long-term emergency shelter in the City's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The water heaters at this facility were recently replaced by electric heat pumps in 2023. Presently, there is a central gas boiler that provides space heating, and a commercial gas range used for cooking in the commercial kitchen. Plans were developed to electrify the HVAC system for the facility; however they did not include the electrification of the kitchen and have been paused to re-evaluate the design to ensure there is sufficient electrical capacity for full facility electrification. Given the additional role of this facility during emergency operations, staff are investigating the opportunity to incorporate smoke filtration and recirculation during fire season. The facility does not currently have backup power - requiring a diesel generator to be brought on-site during an emergency. This presents an opportunity for improved resilience with the careful planning of a battery backup and solar. The scope of the project, to install all-electric HVAC equipment with the capability to filter smoke and recirculate filtered air during fire season will serve as a critical example for other Menlo Park facilities and other agencies to reference as they pursue retrofits for adaptation as we see continually deteriorating air quality and additional fires in the years to come.
40 City of Menlo Park 701 Laurel St., Menlo Park, CA 94025 tel 650-330-6600 menlopark.gov 2 Outcomes and benefits
This project modifies the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in the Arrillaga Family Recreation Center to address system deficiencies. The project will evaluate and implement options for addressing temperature fluctuations and equipment failure and fully electrify the facility by replacing remaining gas equipment at the facility including:

1. Replacement of gas boiler for space heating

2. Replacement of commercial kitchen equipment

3. Replacement of existing equipment and installation of HVAC system to control ventilation and filter smoke and recirculate filtered air

4. Resilience readiness upgrades for future solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and building energy storage system (battery) installation
The anticipated benefits are as follows:

1. Full electrification of the facility will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve community air quality.

2. Replacement of HVAC systems with a focus on controlled ventilation and smoke adaptation for improved indoor air quality (IAQ)during typical operations and safety during wildfire events.

3. Creation of an all-electric commercial kitchen to enable induction cooking demonstrations and expand outreach/exposure to all-electric equipment.

4. Preparation for enrollment into a future round of PCE GovPV program to add solar and battery storage to the facility.

Community centers, especially those with commercial kitchens and those that serve key roles as cooling centers and short- and long-term shelters within disaster response plans, are important to decarbonize. In addition to the IAQ improvements for the community and GHG emissions reductions, adding resilience and adaptation to operate safely in fire season is critical.

Learning from this project will facilitate easier deployment of similar projects that align with PCE’s mission, making this an excellent project to fund through PCE’s Member Agency grant.

Budget
• Estimated project cost: $1.3M
• General fund allocation: $520K
• Member agency grant amount requested: $786K

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution Approving Peninsula Clean Energy’s 2024 Power Source Disclosure Annual Report, Confirming the Accuracy of the Information Provided in the 2024 Power Source Disclosure Report and Delegating Authority to the Chief Executive Officer, or designee, to Submit the Attestation to the California Energy Commission.

BACKGROUND
The California Public Utilities Code requires all retail sellers of electric energy, including Peninsula Clean Energy, to disclose “accurate, reliable, and simple-to-understand information on the sources of energy” that are delivered to their respective customers. The format for the required communications is highly prescriptive, offering little flexibility to retail sellers when presenting such information to customers. This format has been termed the “Power Content Label” by the California Energy Commission (“CEC”). Information presented in the Power Content Label includes the proportionate share of total energy supply attributable to various resource types, including both renewable and conventional fuel sources. The method used to determine the power content of the energy supply is governed by the CEC’s Power Source Disclosure Program. Every spring, retail sellers prepare a Power Source Disclosure Annual Report (“Annual Report”) that lists the individual specified resources used to serve their customers’ electricity needs in the previous calendar year, and the amount procured from each resource. This Annual Report forms the basis of the Power Content Label that is sent annually to customers.

In 2021, Assembly Bill 242 (Holden, Chapter 228, Statutes of 2021) was adopted, requiring California retail electricity suppliers to post their Power Content Labels on their websites annually by October 1 and in written promotional materials by the end of the first complete 53 billing cycle for the fourth quarter of the year. In 2022, Senate Bill 1158 (Becker, Chapter 367, Statutes of 2022) was adopted, requiring hourly reporting of a retail seller’s electric supply to the CEC beginning in 2028, and additional reporting requirements. The subsequent Amended Regulations Governing the Power Source Disclosure Program approved in 2025 modified the attestation requirements for public agencies providing electric energy. Historically, public agencies like PCE were required to have their Board attest to both their Power Source Disclosure Annual Report and Power Content Label and submit the attestation to the CEC by October 1. Beginning in 2025 with the 2024 Annual Report, public agencies are only required to have their Board attest to their Power Source Disclosure Annual Report. Later this year, the CEC will generate each retail seller’s Power Content Label on their behalf based on the information provided in their Power Source Disclosure Annual Report. Retail sellers will then provide the Power Content Label generated by the CEC to their respective customers in the fall of 2025.

Beginning with the 2021 reporting year, retail suppliers are required to calculate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity of their electricity portfolios and report the results in the Power Source Disclosure Annual Report and on the Power Content Label. The methodology for calculating the emissions intensity is determined by the CEC, and retail suppliers are required to use the CEC’s methodology. Any marketing or retail product claim by a retail supplier related to the GHG emissions intensity of an electricity portfolio must be consistent with the GHG emissions intensity disclosed on the relevant Power Content Label.

Retail suppliers may provide additional information to customers describing other actions related to greenhouse gases that are unrelated to the electricity portfolio.

DISCUSSION
During the 2024 calendar year, Peninsula Clean Energy successfully delivered a substantial portion of its electric energy supply from various renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, small hydroelectricity, and geothermal. For our ECOplus customers, the percentage of supply attributable to renewable energy sources approximated fifty percent (50%) according to the Power Source Disclosure Annual Report, and the total supply from carbon-free or renewable energy resources was one hundred percent (100%). These amounts meet our targets of fifty percent (50%) renewable and one hundred percent (100%) renewable or carbon-free energy. For our ECO100 customers, the percentage of supply attributable to renewable energy sources comprised one hundred percent (100%). Peninsula Clean Energy’s program for the Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff (DAC-GT) is called Green Access and is represented on the Power Source Disclosure Annual Report and Power Content Label as a separate product, with one hundred percent (100%) of its supply coming from renewable energy sources. In 2024, Peninsula Clean Energy began offering a Green Transit product to public transit agencies, and this product’s supply comes from one hundred percent (100%) renewable energy sources.

The 2024 Annual Report includes the GHG Emissions Intensity factor calculated per the CEC’s methodology. The GHG Emissions Intensity for 2024 was 0 lbs of carbon dioxide equivalent per megawatt-hour of electricity (CO2e/MWh) for each of our retail products (ECOplus, ECO100, Green Access, and Green Transit). In comparison, the average intensity for California utilities in 2023 was 373 lbs CO2e/MWh. The average intensity value for California utilities in 2024 will be published by the CEC later this year and provided to customers on the Power Content Label in the fall of 2025. 54 Beginning with reporting for the 2019 calendar year, the CEC requires supplies purchased from Asset Controlling Suppliers (ACS supplies) to be disaggregated in the Power Content Label into distinct fuel types, such as large hydroelectric, nuclear, and unspecified sources of power. Peninsula Clean Energy did not purchase any ACS supplies in 2024.

While developing Peninsula Clean Energy’s 2024 Power Source Disclosure Annual Report, staff performed a detailed review of all power purchases completed for the 2024 calendar year. This review included an inventory of all renewable energy transfers within Peninsula Clean Energy’s Western Renewable Energy Generation Information System (WREGIS) accounts and pertinent transaction records. Staff developed the Power Source Disclosure Annual Report for the ECOplus, ECO100, Green Access, and Green Transit products and submitted this report to the CEC by the regulatory deadline of June 1, 2025. In addition, both the ECO100 and Green Access products for 2024 have been certified by Green-e, a process which included an external audit. Based on staff’s review of available data, the information presented in the Annual Report was determined to be accurate.

To fulfill its Power Source Disclosure reporting obligation, Peninsula Clean Energy must also provide the CEC with an attestation regarding the veracity of information included in the Annual Report. In consideration of the aforementioned internal review and applicable regulations, staff requests that the Board accept this determination and attest to the veracity of information included in Peninsula Clean Energy’s 2024 Power Source Disclosure Annual Report, which will then be submitted to the CEC.

Consistent with applicable regulations, Peninsula Clean Energy will submit the Board’s attestation of its 2024 Power Source Disclosure Report to the CEC and post the Power Content Label online by October 1, 2025, and complete requisite customer communications by December 31, 2025.

A copy of Peninsula Clean Energy’s 2024 Power Source Disclosure Report is included as Exhibit A. The Power Content Label data for each of Peninsula Clean Energy’s retail products is also reproduced below.

Item No. 3

PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
JPA Board Correspondence

RECOMMENDATION

1. Delegation of authority to the CEO to execute multiple EV Ready Fund Reservation Agreements with GoPowerEV in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 in total customer incentives to install EV charging infrastructure.

2. Delegation of authority to the CEO to execute three (3) EV Ready Fund Reservation Agreements with Spring Valley Homeowners Association in an amount not to exceed $263,500 in total customer incentives to install EV charging infrastructure.

BACKGROUND
In December 2018, the Board approved PCE’s EV charging infrastructure program intended to accelerate EV adoption in San Mateo County. The program, later named the “EV Ready Program,” provides incentives and no-cost technical assistance to eligible property types, which include: 1) Affordable Housing, 2) Multi-Unit Dwellings (such as apartments and condominiums), 3) Employee Charging, including fleet, and 4) All Publicly Accessible, Non-Residential Locations. The program provides incentives for several different EV charging types, as part of the programs “right-sizing” strategy to install cost-effective charging options, depending on the use case. These incentivized charging options include: 1) Level 1 or Level 2 outlets, 2) Level 2 EV charging stations, 3) Make-Ready parking spaces, to encourage future-proofing, and 4) Panel updates for multi-family property sites. These incentives range from $1,000 to $5,000 per charger, depending on property type, retrofit vs. new build projects, and charging type.

Customers apply for EV Ready incentives online. Applications are reviewed and approved by Peninsula Clean Energy staff. Once approved, a Fund Reservation Agreement, which outlines the EV Ready Program standards and requirements, is executed using digital signatures by the customer and the Peninsula Clean Energy CEO or, if under $250,000, COO. Fund Reservation Agreements are presented to the Board of Directors prior to execution by the 67 Peninsula Clean Energy CEO when cumulative spending exceeds $250,000 in a fiscal year for the customer.

Additionally, Peninsula Clean Energy provides added incentives for certain multi-family EV charging projects located in San Carlos with funding provided by the City of San Carlos. The City of San Carlos provides Peninsula Clean Energy with $100,000 annually to be administered in the EV Ready program. These incentives are applied as a 50% enhancement to Peninsula Clean Energy’s traditional incentive amounts, which vary by charger type, up to a maximum of $20,000 per property. These added funds are only applied to multi-family retrofit projects within the City of San Carlos. Three Fund Reservation Agreements were received by a homeowner’s association in San Carlos with multiple properties and whose cumulative incentives value exceeds $250,000 in combined Peninsula Clean Energy and San Carlos funding, further described in the Discussion section below.

Peninsula Clean Energy EV Ready program guidelines allow project developers to act as a Designated Applicant and manage the incentive process on behalf of property owners who are installing chargers with our program.

GoPowerEv serves as a project developer and has been a trusted program partner since 2023. responsible for installing over 200 charging ports across PCE service territory to date, including some of the largest multifamily EV charging retrofit projects in the country. It has partnered with Peninsula Clean Energy to expand access to EV charging in the EV Ready program. The Discussion section below provides further detail on the requested approvals by the Board for EV Ready Fund Reservation Agreements with GoPowerEV, including delegation of approval to the CEO for additional Agreements expected this fiscal year.

DISCUSSION
Peninsula Clean Energy is expecting many EV Ready applications from GoPowerEV this fiscal year, which will exceed $250,000 in cumulative value for FY26. Nine applications from GoPowerEV have already been received this fiscal year with a total of $726,500 in customer incentives and are included for the Board’s review and approval. These nine agreements are listed in the first table below. Notably, all nine of the received GoPowerEV projects are for Affordable Housing properties in Redwood City and East Palo Alto. These properties are also receiving additional PCE affordable housing related incentives.

Because Peninsula Clean Energy staff expect additional applications from GoPowerEV this fiscal year, staff are seeking authorization not to exceed $1.5M in cumulative contract value from GoPowerEV. This additional request will allow the CEO to more quickly execute Fund Reservation Agreements with GoPowerEV without the need to return to the Board for individual approval by the Board. This will substantially streamline and expedite the approval process. Should Peninsula Clean Energy receive additional EV Ready applications from GoPowerEV that exceed $1.5M in cumulative contract value for FY 26, staff will return to the Board for additional consideration, review, and authorization.

In addition to the GoPowerEV applications, Peninsula Clean Energy has received three EV Ready applications from Spring Valley Homeowner’s Associations for three properties in the City of San Carlos. These projects are expected to receive over $250,000 in combined incentives from Peninsula Clean Energy and the City of San Carlos and are submitted to the Board for approval. These projects are expected to install 96 total smart outlets, one for every parking spot across the three properties.

Peninsula Clean Energy EV Ready Program
Standards & Requirements
Overview
The Peninsula Clean Energy Electric Vehicle (EV) Ready Program is an EV charging infrastructure program to support multi-family, workplace, and public charging in San Mateo County and the City of Los Banos by providing incentives for the installation of Level 1, Level 2, and Make Ready charging infrastructure. In addition to the incentives outlined in this document, Peninsula Clean Energy is providing free, but optional, technical assistance to help customers choose cost-effective EV charging options and design their projects.

1. Definitions
a. Affordable Housing – Residential buildings that entirely consist of units below market rate and whose rents or sales prices are governed by local agencies to be affordable based on area median income. b. Designated Applicant – An organization or individual (contractor, developer, property manager, etc.) that has been authorized by a property owner to act on the property owner’s behalf for the purpose of applying for and managing incentives in the EV Ready Program, including directly receiving incentives upon project completion (if desired), and has submitted a fully signed Designated Applicant form. c. Employee Parking – Parking that is assigned or dedicated to employee or fleet parking only and not accessible by the general public.
d. EVSE – Electric vehicle supply equipment or EV charging stations, including conductors, EV connectors, attachment plugs, and all other fittings, devices, power outlets, or apparatus installed specifically for the purpose of transferring energy between the premises wiring and the EV (NFPA 70-2017, Article 625). e. EV Charging Port – a 120V – 240V AC outlet or either a J1772 or J3400 connector on an EVSE which charges one vehicle at a time.
f. EV charging infrastructure – refers to all electrical infrastructure, including, electrical panels, circuits, wire, conduit, raceway, and other materials required to bring power from a panel to an EV charging port, and the EV charging port, or electric vehicle supply equipment. g. Electric Vehicle Service Provider (EVSP) – An EVSP provides the connectivity across a network of charging stations. Connecting to a central server, they manage the software, database, and communication interfaces that enable operation of the station.
h. Level 1 (L1) Outlet – Level 1 outlets offer charging through a 120V AC circuit, providing about 50 – 60 miles of range over a 12-hour overnight charge. EV drivers bring their own charging cord. i. Level 2 (L2) Outlet – Level 2 outlets offer charging through a 208 – 240V AC circuit, providing about 12 – 24 miles of range per hour. EV drivers bring their own charging cord. j. L2 Charging Stations, L2 EVSE, or L2 Charge Ports – charging stations that offer charging on a 208V – 240V AC circuit, providing about 12-24 miles of range per hour. EV drivers plug the charger’s cord into their vehicle.
k. Make Ready Ports – Projects that build, construct, and install the electrical infrastructure, including transformers, panels or panel capacity, and conduit required for an EV charging port, but do not install the EVSE. Make Ready Port incentives are meant to encourage customers to future-proof their site for additional EV charging ports to be installed later.
l. Multi-Unit Dwelling (MUD) – Multi-family residential buildings with four or more residential units. m. Publicly Accessible – Charging that any EV driver can reasonably access during normal hours without special permissions or other restrictions.

SUBJECT: Approval of a Contract Amendment in the Amount of $400,000 with CLEAResult to Provide Technical Assistance Services in the EV Ready Program Through June 30, 2027
Item No. 4

PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
JPA Board Correspondence

RECOMMENDATION
Approval of a contract amendment with CLEAResult, increasing the contract total by $400,000, for a revised contract total of $2,924,500, and increasing the term by six months through June 30, 2027, to provide continuity of technical assistance services in the EV Ready program.

BACKGROUND
In December 2018, the Board approved PCE’s EV charging infrastructure program intended to accelerate EV adoption in San Mateo County. The program, later named the “EV Ready Program,” provides incentives and no-cost technical assistance to eligible property types, which include: 1) Affordable Housing, 2) Multi-Unit Dwellings (such as apartments and condominiums), 3) Employee Charging, including fleet, and 4) All Publicly Accessible, Non-Residential Locations. The program provides incentives for several different EV charging types, as part of the programs “right-sizing” strategy to install cost-effective charging options, depending on the use case. These incentivized charging options include: 1) Level 1 or Level 2 outlets, 2) Level 2 EV charging stations, 3) Make-Ready parking spaces, to encourage future proofing, and 4) panel updates for multi-family property sites. These incentives range from $1,000 to $5,000 per charger, depending on property type, retrofit vs new build projects, and charging type.

Since the program launch, PCE, through its contract with CLEAResult, has offered free technical assistance to customers planning to install EV charging. This technical assistance provides customers with education on various EV charging options, including “right-sized” and lower-cost opportunities, project planning guidance, electrical load studies, various site design options with project cost estimates, contractor referrals (if requested), and access to negotiated pricing on EV charging equipment.
89 The technical assistance offering has proved to be a vital component of the EV Ready program by enabling customers to increase the scope of their projects. Customers receiving technical assistance in the EV Ready program have on average, doubled the number of EV chargers from what they initially requested. Multi-family properties have been a particular focus of the program, and these customers have seen an average increase of 2.5X the initially requested number of ports on average. Empowering multifamily property managers to so significantly expand the scope of their EV charging projects is a priority for ensuring equitable access as residents of these properties have historically adopted EVs at lower rates than residents of single-family homes, due to a lack of home charging options.

The success of the EV Ready program is having a major positive impact in the community, adding much needed EV charging at multi-family properties. As of July 2025, nearly 2,000 chargers have been installed, including over 1,300 chargers installed across 87 multi-family properties. These chargers are often quickly utilized by residents who have since purchased EVs. Multiple sites that have installed chargers within the past 2 years, and have shared data with Peninsula Clean Energy, exceed 50% utilization among residents.

In addition, the EV Ready program is breaking records for EV charging achieved at multi-family properties. Recent examples including 92 smart outlets installed at the Woodland Creek Condominiums in East Palo Alto, which was celebrated by a ribbon cutting event that included Directors Romero and Gauthier, and received local KPIX CBS coverage. Several upcoming projects are even larger, including a rental apartment property in South San Francisco that will be the largest multi-family retrofit EV charging project in the state with over 200 chargers installed.

The EV Ready program is also now proving as a statewide model for other program, by demonstrating how to achieve widespread access to EV charging by multi-family residents through substantially reduced project costs, enabling properties to add more charging. The average cost of a Level 1 smart outlet in the EV Ready program is about $2,700 each, compared to over $13,000 per Level 2 EV charging station in the statewide CALeVIP program.

This has proven so successful that the CALeVIP program has recently announced that it's latest funding round (appx. $100M in CEC funds for multi-family properties across the state) will now include Level 1 charging, following the Peninsula Clean Energy approach.

The contract with CLEAResult to provide these technical assistance services was originally approved by the Board of Directors in August 2019 and its current term is from December 2019 through December 2026. Because the contract with CLEAResult is approaching six years in duration, Peninsula Clean Energy has released a public RFP to seek new proposals with bids due to in mid-August. A short-term extension is now before the Board for approval in order to provide continuity of services in the EV Ready program while Peninsula Clean Energy undergoes a public solicitation and possible onboarding of a new contractor.

DISCUSSION
Peninsula Clean Energy executed a three-year contract with CLEAResult in November 2019 with a total contract value of $2 million. The contract was since amended twice, mostly recently in October 2023, extending the term through December 31,2026 and increasing the value to approximately $2.5M.
90 The contract contains three components: Program Administration & Marketing, Charging Evaluations, and a performance Port Bonus when EV chargers are installed. Charging Evaluations are the deliverable that a technical-assistance customer receives and includes charging installation options for their consideration and selection. The Port Bonus is a performance payment that applies for chargers installed through technical assistance.

The amendment currently presented to the Board for approval will provide continuity of operations as Peninsula Clean Energy publicly rebids this opportunity and possibly onboards a new contractor. The amendment includes $400,000 in added value to the contract, augmenting the Programs Management and Marketing by $50,000 and the Port Bonus by $350,000, as summarized in the table below.

The amendment also extends the contract for an additional six months, through June 30, 2027. This extension will allow for continued Technical Assistance services through June 30, 2026 and Port Bonus payments until the end of the contract through June 30, 2027. This structure allows for CLEAResult to provide ongoing Technical Assistance services to current and new customers through June 30, 2026, as a possible new contractor is being onboarded, and receive trailing Port Bonus payments on projects that may complete installation after the termination of Technical Assistance services on June 30, 2026, but before the contract ends on June 30, 2027.

BACKGROUND
This report is provided monthly to the Board of Directors and is informational only.

DISCUSSION
During the Board meeting, CEO Shawn Marshall will provide an update on a variety of PCE topics, including but not limited to: Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) update, some recent Programs wins and challenges, CA Legislative Report, update on Diablo Canyon visit, and other upcoming events of interest.

RFPs for Residential Solar, Battery and Related Financing In the coming weeks, PCE will release a pair of RFPs for related services. The first is a solicitation for a third-party finance partner to support residential solar, battery and HVAC installs. Access to finance for large home upgrade projects such as HVAC or solar is often complex and can be expensive, including high fees and rates. PCE is seeking a financial services partner that can provide a streamlined customer experience with lower fees and preferred rates as part of a joint marketing effort, providing a financing option for customers undertaking home upgrades, including solar and storage systems. A second RFP under development is for solar and storage developer(s), which would provide a turnkey install/financing option for customers as part of PCE's “one-stop shop” model of services.

Bay Area Air District Rules
PCE continues to monitor developments related to the Air District's “no NOx” rules and is working closely with peer CCAs to coordinate on related analysis and programs. The Air District is working on potential refinements to their rules which are expected later this year or early next. Bay Area CCAs have been collaborating closely, exploring partnerships for incentives, financing, contractor engagement and local permitting.

SUBJECT: Discussion of HB-1 Reconciliation Bill and Trump Administration Executive Order 14315: Impacts on PCE Procurement and Programs (Discussion) Item No. 9

PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
JPA Board Correspondence

BACKGROUND
H.R. 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed the U.S. House with a 218-214 vote and was then signed by President Trump on July 4, 2025. This memo provides a high-level summary of the legislation. The $4 trillion bill, taken together with the Executive Order (E.O.) 14315 President Trump signed on July 7, 2025, titled “Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign Controlled Energy Sources”, will have far-ranging impacts across the U.S. economy, affecting every aspect of the national effort to address climate change and environmental justice.

DISCUSSION
Overview
The core of H.R. 1 is a permanent extension of the 2017 Tax and Jobs Act, which is an effective $4.5 trillion reduction in federal revenues that was partially offset by $1.2 billion in spending reductions—including ending many clean energy tax credits—required to meet Congressional budget reconciliation rules. The 887-page legislation rolls back the landmark investment in clean energy, jobs, and communities that a Democratic-led Congress made only three years ago with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The HR 1 legislation states that clean energy projects must begin construction by mid-2026 or be placed in service by the end of 2027 in order to qualify for tax credits. This is a rapid phaseout compared to the previous law that had a phaseout scheduled to begin in 2032. The E.O., which reiterates measures included in the recently passed budget reconciliation bill, directs the Treasury department, within the next 45 days to: issue new guidance on "beginning construction" standards to "prevent artificial acceleration/manipulation of eligibility", and to restrict the "use of broad safe harbors unless a substantial portion of the facility has been built", and take actions to implement FEOC restrictions. It also directs the Interior Department, within the next 45 days to review and revise any policies that favor renewables over other energy sources.

In summary, the bill halts incentives for purchasing electric vehicles and efficient appliances. It accelerates phase out of tax credits for wind and solar energy. It opens federal land and water 108
for oil and gas drilling, while creating new federal support for coal. It also ends the historic investment in poor and minority communities that bear a disproportionate burden from energy-related pollution. And finally, it wipes out any spending meant to help green the federal government.

Specifically, H.R. 1’s significant changes to, and reductions in, clean energy tax credits for utility scale and commercial distributed generation (DG), as well as for residential clean energy projects, will impact procurement portfolios and local resource development. In particular, the near-term changes to the availability of tax credits for wind and solar projects will have pricing implications for future power purchase agreements (PPAs). The new foreign entity of concern (FEOC) restrictions on all clean energy technologies seeking tax credit eligibility will also pose a new barrier. The end of customer-level tax credits—for rooftop solar and residential storage, for example—could impact the pace and scale of customer adoption of clean energy technologies. The new law also reduces the availability of previously appropriated funding for certain clean energy and climate related efforts.

High-Level Impact Summary
H.R. 1 includes significant changes to the IRA clean energy tax credits, including many early phaseouts and new restrictions. Below are some highlights 1:

Clean electricity: The final bill provides a carveout from the new 2027 “placed in service” deadline for the §45Y and §48E clean electricity credits, allowing wind and solar projects that begin construction less than one year after the bill's enactment to receive the credit, but still requiring other solar and wind projects to be placed in service by the end of 2027. For all other types of projects — such as hydropower, nuclear, geothermal, and energy storage — the credit starts decreasing in 2034 until zeroing out in 2036. The new “material assistance” FEOC restrictions will apply to facilities that commence construction after 2025.

Advanced manufacturing: The Sec. 45X advanced manufacturing credit phases out for critical minerals production by 2034, and it is phased out even earlier — after 2027 — for wind components.

Clean hydrogen: The Sec. 45V clean hydrogen credit will be phased out after 2027, though this is an improvement upon previous versions of the legislation where the credit was slated to be terminated in short order.

Terminations for EVs and refueling credits : Many other tax credits, including the 30D clean vehicles and 30C alternative refueling property credits, are being terminated early.

Extensions or other changes : The Sec. 45Z clean fuel credit is extended through 2029 and the Sec. 45U nuclear credit and Sec. 45Q carbon oxide sequestration credits expiration dates were left unchanged, though new restrictions related to FEOCs, foreign resources, and other changes were enacted.

Transferability: Transferability (i.e., the ability of a clean energy project developer to sell their tax credit to a third party, often in exchange for cash) was largely preserved in the final text, though taxpayers are now prohibited from transferring credits to certain foreign entities.

FEOC restrictions: The bill contains several new FEOC2 restrictions on Sec. 45Y/48E — both at the ownership and the component level — and on Sec. 45X that prevent taxpayers from claiming these credits according to the conditions and timelines noted in the table below. In addition, projects commencing construction after December 31, 2025, are ineligible for certain tax credits if they receive "material assistance" from a FEOC. 109
This broadly applies to components, subcomponents, and critical minerals sourced, processed, or manufactured by a FEOC:, as follows:

For additional detail regarding HR 1 impacts to the ITC and PTC, please see the attached memo dated Jul 3, 2025 from PCE's Washington DC Lobbyist, Thorn Run Partners. There is also a background document included that has more details on the various impacts to the ITC and PTC tax credits.

Jim Davenport from Thorn Run Partners, will join the Board meeting by zoom to provide a DC update and answer any questions that Directors may have. In addition, select PCE staff will provide an assessment of the direct and indirect/downstream impacts of HR 1 and Trump's recent Executive Order on Peninsula Clean Energy with particular focus on power procurement and energy programs impacts.

2 North Korea, or Russia, or those significantly influenced by them through ownership, debt holdings, or control over a project or technology licensing. Specific battery manufacturers like CATL and Gotion are also identified as FEOCs.

CHANGES TO IRA TAX CREDITS IN THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ACT

INTRODUCTION
On July 3, the House passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R.1), sending the reconciliation package to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law. Ultimately, the bill either terminates or phases out several of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) clean energy tax credits and enacts new restrictions related to foreign entities of concern (FEOC). Some highlights:
• Transferability — Transferability was largely preserved in the final text, though taxpayers are now prohibited from transferring credits to certain foreign entities.
• Clean electricity — The final bill provides a carveout from the new 2027 “placed in service” deadline for the 45Y and 48E clean electricity credits, allowing wind and solar projects that begin construction less than one year after the bill's enactment to receive the credit, but still requiring other solar and wind projects to be placed in service by the end of 2027. For all other types of projects — such as hydropower, nuclear, geothermal, and energy storage — the credit starts decreasing in 2034 until zeroing out in 2036.

The new “material assistance” FEOC restrictions will apply to facilities that commence construction after 2025. • Advanced manufacturing — The 45X advanced manufacturing credit phases out for critical minerals production by 2034, and it is phased out even earlier — after 2027 — for wind components. • Clean hydrogen — The 45V clean hydrogen credit will be phased out after 2027, though this is an improvement upon previous versions of the legislation where the credit was slated to be terminated in short order. • Extensions or other changes — The 45Z clean fuel credit is extended through 2029 and the 45U nuclear credit and 45Q carbon oxide sequestration credits expiration dates were left unchanged, though new restrictions related to FEOCs, foreign resources, and other changes were enacted.
• Terminations — Many other tax credits, including the 30D clean vehicles and 30C alternative refueling property credits, are being terminated early.

Memorandum July 3, 2025
111
The Trump administration will now look to implement the various provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will begin pushing out guidance that outlines new rules for the IRA tax credits in the coming weeks and months. Notably, during a news interview earlier today, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) said that the president has promised to aggressively enforce the phaseout of the 45Y and 48E credits for wind and solar as he sought to convince conservative Freedom Caucus holdouts to vote for the package. Additionally, House Republicans are already teasing the idea of a second reconciliation bill to advance President Trump‘s agenda, with some lawmakers calling for further cuts to the IRA. However, with midterm elections right around the corner, it is unclear whether a second package can come together before members turn their attentions to campaigning season.

This memorandum describes the tax credits under current law and outlines the changes that were made in the reconciliation package.

1 PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY BACKGROUNDER
July 11, 2025
Detailed Overview of Impacts to ITC and PTC
I. Investment Tax Credits (ITC)

1. Clean Electricity Investment Credit (Sec. 48E)
• Overview: Under current law, 48E provides a base investment tax credit of 6% for expenditures on zero-emission electricity or standalone energy-storage facilities. If prevailing-wage and apprenticeship requirements (or applicable exceptions) are satisfied, the credit rises to 30%.
• H.R. 1 Changes: H.R. 1 terminates the eligibility of wind and solar projects placed in service after December 31, 2027, for 48E credits, with an exception for wind and solar projects that begin construction within twelve months of enactment of the legislation. By contrast, other qualifying facilities, such as nuclear, geothermal, and clean-hydrogen projects, remain on the original statutory timeline, phasing down after 2032 at 100% in 2033, 75% in 2034, 50% in 2035, and 0% in 2036.

H.R. 1 also disallows the credit for residential solar-water-heating or small wind installations leased to third-party customers. Taxpayers who begin construction on qualified facilities after December 31, 2025, are not permitted to receive material assistance from a Prohibited Foreign Entity (PFE). Taxpayers that are considered a PFE are no longer eligible for 48E for tax year beginning after enactment. Finally, H.R. 1 adjusts the domestic content percentages that qualified facilities and energy storage technology must satisfy to qualify for the domestic content bonus as follows:
o 40% (20% for an offshore wind facility) if construction began before June 16, 2025.
o 45% (27.5% for an offshore wind facility) if construction begins on or after June 16, 2025, and before January 1, 2026.
o 50% (35% for an offshore wind facility) if construction begins during the calendar year of 2026.
o 55% if construction begins after December 31, 2026.
120
2 Note: These percentages are consistent with the current domestic content requirements under current 45Y.

2. Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit (Sec. 48C) • Overview: Under 48C as previously enacted, taxpayers may claim a 30% investment credit for certified “advanced energy” projects. Congress capped total allocations at $10 billion, including $4 billion reserved for projects in low-income or disadvantaged areas, and required applicants to secure Treasury certification within two years and place their project in service within two years thereafter. • H.R. 1 Changes: OBBBA stipulates that any 48C allocation withdrawn for missing the two-year in-service deadline will be permanently retired from the $10 billion pool, rather than reissued to another project.

II. Production Tax Credits

1. Clean Electricity Production Credit (Sec. 45Y)
• Overview: 45Y provides a production tax credit of 0.3 ¢ per kWh for electricity generated by zero-emitting facilities for ten years after they are placed in service.

Meeting prevailing-wage and apprenticeship rules raises the rate to 1.5 ¢ per kWh. • H.R. 1 Changes: Wind and solar projects that begin construction more than one year after enactment must be placed in service by December 31, 2027, to claim any 45Y credit. Accordingly, those wind and solar facilities that start construction within the first post-enactment year do not face a placed in-service deadline. Wind and solar projects starting on January 1, 2025, until July 4, 2025, (i.e., the date of enactment) will receive credits at the full rate. Non-wind/solar facilities follow the existing post-2033 phase-out: 100% credit for 2033 starts, 75% for 2034, 50% for 2035, and zero thereafter. The credit no longer applies to residential solar-water-heating or small wind installations leased to third parties. Additionally, new measurement methods for capacity additions grant developers greater flexibility in calculating eligible output. Taxpayers who begin construction on qualified facilities after December 31, 2025, are not permitted to receive material assistance from a PFE (as defined above). Taxpayers that are considered a PFE are no longer eligible for 45Y for tax years beginning after enactment.

2. Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit (Sec. 45X)
• Overview: 45X offers a production tax credit for manufacturing certain eligible components and critical minerals within the United States. Credit amounts differ by component type. Under current law, component credits phase down after 2029 on a five-year schedule (100% for sales before 2030; 75% in 2030; 50% in 2031; 25% in 2032; and 0% thereafter), while credits for critical mineral extraction remain available indefinitely.
121
3 • H.R. 1 Changes:
o Critical minerals: The permanent credit for critical minerals (other than metallurgical coal) would instead taper off beginning in 2030 as follows: 100% credit for 2030; 75% for 2031, 50% for 2032, 25% for 2033; and zero in 2034. o Wind Component Sunset: All wind-related component credits would be eliminated for items produced and sold in 2028 and beyond. o Foreign-Entity Exclusions: Any component made with material assistance from a prohibited foreign entity after December 31, 2025, is ineligible, and taxpayers classified as specified foreign entities or foreign-influenced entities lose 45X eligibility for tax years beginning after enactment.

3. Clean Hydrogen Production Credit (Sec. 45V)
• Overview: Qualified clean hydrogen produced by the taxpayer is eligible for a per kilogram credit percentage of $0.60 that ranges from 20% to 100% depending on the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions rate that occurs in the process. The credit applies to the hydrogen produced during the ten-year period that the facility is placed in service.
• H.R. 1 Changes: Facilities that commence construction after December 31, 2027, would no longer be eligible for any 45V credit. No new FEOC rules would apply to 45V.

4. Zero-Emission Nuclear Power Production Credit (Sec. 45U) • Overview: Electricity produced by existing nuclear power plants is eligible for a credit equal to 0.3¢ per kWh or, if prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements or exceptions in constructing, repairing, or altering the facility are met, 1.5¢ per kWh with the credit being reduced as power prices rise above $25 per MWh. • H.R. 1 Changes: Beginning in 2028, taxpayers must certify that any nuclear fuel they use was not sourced from “covered nations” or covered entities—unless acquired under a binding contract in force prior to January 1, 2023. In addition, OBBBA bars SFEs from claiming 45U for tax years beginning after enactment and disqualifies FIEs from claiming 45U for tax years beginning two years after enactment.

5. Clean Production Fuel Credit (Sec. 45Z)
• Overview: Certain transportation fuel is eligible for a credit equal to the applicable amount multiplied by an emissions factor. The applicable amount for transportation fuel is $0.20 per gallon, and the applicable amount for sustainable aviation fuel is $0.35 per gallon. If prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements or exceptions are met, the credit is increased by a factor of five ($1 per gallon for transportation fuel and $1.75 per gallon for sustainable aviation fuel). The credit applies to fuel sold before 2028.
122
4 • H.R. 1 Changes: The proposed legislation extends the availability of the 45Z credit through the end of 2029 but introduces a suite of significant eligibility and calculation changes starting in 2026. Most notably, the credit would no longer be available for fuel derived from feedstocks sourced outside of the United States, Mexico, or Canada, narrowing the geographic scope of eligible inputs. Additionally, the credit value for fuels derived from foreign feedstocks would be reduced by 20% beginning in 2026. The enhanced rates for sustainable aviation fuel are eliminated for fuel sold after December 31, 2025. In a move to standardize emissions accounting, the proposal bars the use of negative lifecycle emissions rates for most fuels starting in 2026, except in the case of animal-manure-based fuels. For those fuels, the Treasury Department is directed to issue specific lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions rates tailored to the type of manure feedstock (e.g., dairy, swine, or poultry). Further, lifecycle emissions calculations would be required to exclude emissions attributable to indirect land use changes, thereby aligning more closely with international sustainability standards. To prevent double-dipping, the credit is reduced by the amount of any excise tax credit under Sec. 6426(k)(1) for fuel sold after 2024, and the Sec. 6426(k)(1) credit itself would sunset on September 30, 2025. OBBBA also directs Treasury to issue guidance clarifying how related-party sales of qualifying fuel should be treated under Sec. 45Z. Finally, the credit would no longer be available to SFEs for tax years beginning after the date of enactment.

FIEs would lose eligibility for 45Z in tax years beginning two years after enactment.

These changes reinforce broader FEOC compliance themes present throughout the legislation and could significantly affect multinational producers and joint ventures operating in the biofuels space.

6. Clean Vehicle Credits
• Overview: Taxpayers may claim a credit for previously owned clean vehicles (Sec. 25E), new clean vehicles (Sec. 30D), and qualified commercial clean vehicles (Sec. 45W).
• H.R. 1 Changes: H.R. 1 eliminates these clean-vehicle credits for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, and taxpayers may only claim them for purchases completed by that date.

7. Residential Energy Credits
• Overview: Taxpayers may claim several credits or a deduction related to residential clean energy expenditures. The currently available tax incentives are the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Sec. 25C), the Residential Clean Energy Credit (Sec. 25D), the Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction (Sec. 179D), and the New Energy Efficient Home Credit (Sec. 45L).
123
5 • H.R. 1 Changes: The Sec. 25C and Sec. 25D credits terminate for property placed in service or cost paid after December 31, 2025. The Sec. 179D deduction now terminates for property the construction of which begins after June 30, 2026. The Sec. 45L credit terminates for qualified property acquired after June 30, 2026. 124

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution Delegating Authority to the Chief Executive Officer to Execute two Power Purchase Agreements for the IP Darden III and IP Darden IV Solar Plus Storage Projects with IP Darden III, LLC and IP Darden IV, LLC with a Delivery Term of Up to Twelve (12) Years and a Commercial Operation Date of June 1, 2028, in a Total Amount Not-to-Exceed $333 Million (Action)

BACKGROUND
Peninsula Clean Energy's Board has set a long-term goal to procure 100% of its energy supply from renewable energy sources by 2030 through strategic and cost-effective procurement of resources that maximize 24/7 hourly matching of renewable energy and load.

Solar photovoltaics (solar) plus storage is one of the best value resource types to meet this ambitious goal, allowing Peninsula Clean Energy to procure low-cost renewable solar energy, and store the energy in the battery to use it when it is needed most. The IP Darden project would be the fourth solar project paired with energy storage in Peninsula Clean Energy's portfolio.

Given the recently adopted federal legislation that will phase out tax credits for wind and solar projects, the IP Darden project is a rare project that is on track to come online in the near-term and qualify for tax credits. Projects with later CODs will likely no longer qualify for tax credits and will be significantly more expensive to procure. Additionally, the IP Darden project qualifies for two additional "bonus" tax credits of 10% each. The IP Darden project will use domestically-sourced materials, including solar panels, steel, and aluminum, allowing it to qualify for the Domestic Content "bonus" tax credit adder. And, the IP Darden project is being developed in an area that previously had a significant fossil fuel industry, allowing the project 125
to qualify for the Energy Community "bonus" adder. The IP Darden project was a competitively priced project prior to the passage of the recent federal legislation, and is now one of the best-positioned projects for not only remaining eligible for tax credits but qualifying for the "bonus" tax credits.

Developer Background
Intersect Power is a clean energy company that develops, owns and operates some of the largest clean energy resources in the country. Intersect Power has a base portfolio of 2.2 GW of operating solar and 2.4 GWh of battery storage in operation or construction, including over 700 MW of solar and almost 1.5 GWh of storage within CAISO.

Intersect Power is funded by investments from TPG Rise Climate, Climate Adaptive Infrastructure, and Greenbelt Capital Partners, with plans to raise additional equity to develop large scale renewable projects.

Location Fresno County
The IP Darden solar plus storage project is a new, 1,150 MW solar plus 1,150 MW / 4,600 MWh (4-hour duration) storage project located in Fresno County. The storage portion of the project is currently the largest single storage project under development in the world.

Peninsula Clean Energy is contracting for an approximately 7% portion of the larger project under two agreements, or a total of 84.56 MW (85 MW) of solar PV co-located with 83.68 MW / 334.72 MWh (4-hour duration) (84 MW) of lithium-ion storage, and with an option to increase the storage capacity to 91.48 MW / 365.92 MWh (4-hour duration) (91MW) .

Given the large size of the overall IP Darden project, Intersect has structured the project into four separate legal entities: IP Darden I through IV, LLC, each representing a quarter of the project capacity. The four-way structuring allows the project to tailor financing approaches for lenders, and allows for phased construction and interconnection schedules. The four-way structure also facilities contracting the project with multiple offtakers, including Peninsula Clean Energy. The project has been structured to insulate each offtaker from cross-default exposure to other offtakers. Peninsula Clean Energy recently engaged with Intersect in discussions around the IP Darden project, and IP Darden was able to offer Peninsula Clean Energy portions of the project that remained from IP Darden III, as well as a remaining portion 126
of IP Darden IV. Because PCE will be contracting for portions that remain in both the IP Darden III and IP Darden IV projects, two separate Power Purchase Agreements are necessary. Both PPAs will contain identical terms and conditions, except for the names of the projects (IP Darden III versus IP Darden IV) and the associated project companies.

Peninsula Clean Energy will contract for its portion of the IP Darden project under two separate but identical Power Purchase Agreements with IP Darden III and IP Darden IV. The contracts will be for a ten (10) year term, with an option for Intersect to extend for an additional two (2) years with no change in price, as long as the seller opts to extend by November 2025.

Under the two contracts, Peninsula Clean Energy will pay for the output of the 85 MW solar project at a fixed dollar per MWh rate, and will pay for the 84 MW (or up to 91MW) of storage capacity at a fixed-price dollars per kw-month rate. Both rates will have no escalation for the entire term of the contract, regardless of whether Intersect extends the contract for additional two years. Under the contract, Peninsula Clean Energy is entitled to all products from the facility, including renewable energy, storage capacity (charging and discharging energy), ancillary services, and resource adequacy.

The expected Commercial Operation Date is June 1, 2028. The project currently has Full Capacity Delivery Status from the CAISO, which will allow the project to provide resource adequacy attributes to Peninsula Clean Energy. The project will interconnect to the grid via a new switching station looping into the existing 500 kV Los Banos to Midway #2 transmission line. The project has already started construction under current IRS tax credit rules, and is on track to maintain qualification for start of construction even under anticipated future changes to start of construction rules.

The project will help Peninsula Clean Energy meet its ambitious 2030 goal of 100% renewable energy. The project is not currently needed for the CPUC's Mid-Term Reliability procurement order, but if additional CPUC procurement orders are issued, the IP Darden project is positioned for the best chance of contributing to those potential future procurement orders.

Staff is requesting that the Board authorize the CEO to finalize negotiation of the IP Darden PPAs, consistent with the major terms presented in this memo and at the July 2025 Board Meeting. Staff will provide an informational update during the September 2025 Board Meeting to update the Board on the status of the execution of the agreements.

Workforce Requirements and Community Benefits
Intersect has agreed that the construction of the project will be conducted using a project labor agreement or other similar agreement providing for terms and conditions of employment with applicable labor organizations. The construction phase of the entire Darden project is expected to generate up to 350 jobs per year, with approximately 25 jobs associated with Peninsula Clean Energy's portion. During the post-construction phase there will be up to 40 full-time and part-time jobs per year over the Project's lifetime, including 15 permanent positions. Peninsula Clean Energy's portion of the project will generate about 3 direct and in-direct operations jobs, including 1 permanent position.

The project includes a community benefits plan that commits Intersect Power to invest more than $2 million over the next decade in community-based initiatives and programs in Fresno County, approximately $140,000 of which would be associated with Peninsula Clean Energy's portion of the project.
127
Environmental Review
The project will be built on 9,500 acres of land in western Fresno County that is no longer able to support agricultural production. The project is the first project to be permitted under California's Opt-In Certification Program, which allows the California Energy Commission (CEC) to oversee the permitting of clean and renewable energy facilities. The project permitting was approved by the CEC on June 11, 2025, and includes all state and local permits (e.g. CEQA, Incidental Take Permit, Building and Gradit Permits). A land use authorization from the US Bureau of Reclamations is expected to be approved in October 2025, and an encroachment permit from CalTrans is expected in March 2026.

Peninsula Clean Energy staff performs an internal environmental review of each potential new project. Staff evaluated the IP Darden project and found that the IP Darden project was not located in a protected area based on the USGS Protected Areas Database.

Battery Safety
Peninsula Clean Energy and Intersect Power place safety of the lithium-ion storage components at the highest priority. The battery will be built in accordance with a lithium-ion battery storage specific safety plan set by the most current safety standards. The plan will be in compliance with the National Fire Protection Agency Standard 855 (NFPA 855). The project safety plan will be approved by the Fresno County Fire Protection District. The batteries will be installed in stationary modular containers specifically designed to house batteries, which is the current industry standard for safety and fire suppression. The battery chemistry will use Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) which is the current industry standard for utility-scale lithium batteries and is known for its safety and resistance to thermal runaway.

DISCUSSION
Priority 1 of Peninsula Clean Energy's Strategic Plan is to: Deliver 100% renewable energy on an annual basis by 2030 through strategic and cost-effective procurement of resources that maximize Peninsula Clean Energy's 24/7 hourly matching of renewable energy and load.

Solar plus storage is one of the best value resource types to meet this ambitious goal, allowing Peninsula Clean Energy to procure low-cost renewable solar energy, and store the energy in the battery to use it when it is needed most.

The IP Darden project was a competitive project prior to the passage of the recent federal legislation, and is now one of the best-positioned projects to come online and contribute to Peninsula Clean Energy's clean energy goals, while remaining cost-effective.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the IP Darden solar plus storage project will not exceed $333 million over the term of the Agreement commencing on or around June 1, 2028.

STRATEGIC PLAN
The IP Darden solar plus storage project supports the following objectives in Peninsula Clean Energy's strategic plan:

Priority 1: Deliver 100% renewable energy on an annual basis by 2030 through strategic and cost-effective procurement of resources that maximize 24/7 hourly matching of renewable 128
energy and load.

Power Resources Goal 1: Secure sufficient, low-cost, clean sources of electricity that achieve Peninsula Clean Energy's priorities while ensuring reliability and meeting regulatory mandates. 129

JPA Board Correspondence

BACKGROUND
The Marketing & Community Relations Teams is responsible for enhancing Peninsula Clean Energy’s brand reputation, educating and engaging customers, driving participation in programs, and ensuring customer satisfaction and retention. Tactics include community outreach, content creation and storytelling through owned (e.g. online, social media), earned (e.g. public relations), and paid media (advertising), and school engagement programs.

DISCUSSION
The following is a quarterly update of activities taking place from April - June 2025. Please refer to the “Strategic Plan” section below for further information/explanation as to how these activities support Peninsula Clean Energy’s strategic plan objectives.

Brand
In Q2, Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) continued exploring a potential name change as part of a broader effort to strengthen our brand, reduce customer confusion with PG&E, and better align with our mission and long-term vision. This work is being guided by a cross-functional Naming Committee that includes staff, Board members, and leadership. Key milestones this quarter included stakeholder interviews, review of a Creative Framework, and an initial presentation of name options. Planning is also underway for community focus groups to gather public input on potential names. This process reflects our commitment to inclusive engagement and strategic brand development.

We also completed 'Release 2' updates to our PCE-owned website, further enhancing the user experience and ensuring alignment with our updated messaging platform. This included improved navigation, storytelling, and support for key campaigns such as the Home Upgrade Services program.

In June, we launched a new Voice of Customer (VoC) pilot initiative. The goal is to gather more consistent, structured feedback from the community to inform future outreach, program development, and customer experience improvements.

The initial phase focuses on capturing insights gathered by Community Relations at events, workshops, focus groups and other community touchpoints using a mix of surveys, interviews, and in-person 132
feedback tools. Over time, this work will support a more customer-informed approach across the organization, helping us ensure our offerings are relevant, accessible, and aligned with community needs.

Program Marketing
Marketing teamed with Programs to launch new customer-facing webpages designed to guide residents through the electrification process, with clear pathways and tools to help them take action. These pages reflect Peninsula Clean Energy’s commitment to making electrification more accessible and highlight the range of support available.

A targeted campaign for the Emergency Hot Water Heater Replacement service launched on May 30, using paid search, paid and organic social media to reach eligible customers.

Marketing efforts also continued for our E-bikes Rebate program, with outreach focused on increasing participation through flyers, email campaigns, and a refreshed social media toolkit.

To support broader adoption of clean energy technologies, we also promoted additional programs including the Zero Percent Loan Program, appliance rebates, and Used EV rebates through email marketing, paid search, and online advertising.

Events
In Q2, PCE had a strong presence at Earth Day celebrations and spring tabling events throughout the county. These in-person engagements offered valuable opportunities to connect with residents, answer questions, and raise awareness about our clean energy programs.

We also celebrated a major infrastructure milestone with the ribbon-cutting of 92 new EV chargers at the Woodland Creek affordable housing community. The event included an EV showcase, a tour of the chargers led by Pando Electric, and tabling by CRC, Grid Alternatives, and CLEAResult. Staff emceed the event, shared program information, and delivered remarks alongside Board members Carlos Romero and Lisa Gauthier. We also piloted new methods for gathering customer feedback, supported by strong event coordination from our community partners.

Altogether, the Community Relations team participated in 36 community events and presentations during Q2—including workshops, school career days, and neighborhood gatherings—reaching over 3,360 attendees across our service territory.

Outreach Grants
Community Relations continues to deepen partnerships with community-based organizations to expand awareness of clean energy programs and support equitable participation. Outreach grantees have been actively promoting initiatives such as the E-Bikes Rebate Program, energy bill savings, and electrification benefits across San Mateo County. This year, our 16 grantees have driven 10K visits to our website, helping connect more residents with available resources. Outreach grantees have connected 9,000 customers with information about PCE and have enrolled over 600 customers in an energy discount program.

We expanded our Spanish-language outreach through local media partnerships and hosted multilingual training sessions to strengthen culturally relevant engagement. These efforts are part of our broader commitment to reaching customers in the languages they speak and through trusted messengers.

Grantees also supported community education events this quarter, including an EV showcase in East Palo Alto and a home electrification workshop in Belle Haven. These in-person gatherings provided opportunities for residents to learn more about clean energy technologies and available support 133
programs.

Schools and Youth Programs
PCE is supporting energy education in various ways, including student engagement, curriculum enrichment, and clean energy career exposure across San Mateo County and Los Banos.

In Q2, we reached over 1,000 students in Los Banos through school partnerships, helping to build awareness of sustainability and energy issues at a young age. In San Mateo County, staff participated in Earth Day events and career panels at high schools and community colleges, offering students a direct connection to clean energy career pathways.

In April, 52 high school students in San Mateo County graduated from the Youth Climate Ambassadors Program. PCE is a partner and funder for this yearlong program, in which high school students throughout San Mateo County build leadership skills while learning about climate solutions. Several students developed and implemented projects related to PCE’s mission, including leading clean energy workshops at local libraries and facilitating electric cooking demonstrations at community events.

In partnership with the San Mateo County Office of Education, PCE hosted a hands-on workshop for 20 science teachers in February. Attendees received training on clean energy concepts as well as materials for an interactive wind power experiment. One teacher said, “I really appreciated the opportunity to learn more about San Mateo County's renewable energy sources! I am excited to use the kits and this new information in my physics class.”
Across both counties, these efforts help build early interest in clean energy while supporting local education partners and advancing long-term decarbonization goals.

Los Banos Update
The Community Relations team continued to build strong local relationships in Los Banos during Q2 through regular community engagement and ongoing collaboration with city leadership. Public tabling at City Hall provided a consistent presence to share information about clean energy programs, answer resident questions, and build awareness of upcoming initiatives.

Efforts also focused on strengthening partnerships with local schools to support future outreach and education opportunities. These connections lay the groundwork for broader clean energy engagement in the community, particularly around youth-focused and school-based initiatives.

We continued to support local leadership in their role on Peninsula Clean Energy’s Board, helping ensure alignment between regional strategy and local priorities. These efforts are part of a long-term commitment to fostering trusted, community-rooted relationships in Los Banos.

News & Media
Media Relations focuses on enhancing Peninsula Clean Energy’s reputation and leadership position by garnering earned media attention. Full coverage of Peninsula Clean Energy in the news can be found on our News & Media webpage. Highlights from the last quarter include:

Woodland Creek Ribbon Cutting
Phillip Kobernick did a live TV interview with CBS Bay Area and also submitted answers to questions for a CleanTechnica article regarding the June 28 Woodland Creek EV charger project and ribbon cutting.

That article was also spotlighted elsewhere, including in local Patch.com. The coverage followed two advisories for the ribbon cutting that we worked on with Pando Electric and were sent to our curated local, regional and EV media lists via Muck Rack. A KQED reporter also expressed interest in receiving 134
further updates moving forward regarding our upcoming EV project announcements and ribbon cuttings.

City and Chamber Newsletters
We are getting our messages out to customers and influencers through updates to member city and area chamber newsletters. That included mentions of our community benefits in at least nine city newsletters; our rate reduction announcement in at least five city newsletters; and promoting our 24/7 emergency water heater replacement service in at least 11 of our member city weekly newsletters, as well as in the Brisbane Chamber of Commerce’s monthly Luminary newsletter. The emergency water heater service was also given stand-alone treatment in Coastside Buzz.

We also included an advisory for our Woodland Creek ribbon cutting in the City of East Palo Alto newsletter and contributed a longer list of updates for the CalCCA summer quarterly newsletter.

We also authored an Earth Month item in the Brisbane Luminary and had items on Environmental Sustainability and Climate Resiliency Day in the San Mateo County chamber of commerce newsletter, and about our community benefits in the Burlingame Chamber newsletter.

Joint Dos Palos Announcement
We led a joint announcement with Renewable America announcing Dos Palos coming online. Coverage included in CleanTechnica, PV Magazine, Solar Power World, California Energy Markets and American Public Power Association. We are also continuing to work with Renewable America on participating in a ribbon cutting.

Shawn’s Women of Influence Recognition Announcement
We issued a press release announcing Shawn’s recognition by Silicon Valley Business Journal as a 2025 Woman of Influence. The release included quotes by Donna Colson and San Jose Clean Energy Director Lori Mitchell. Coverage included in Patch.com.

DISCUSSION
Building and EV Reach Codes
Background: In 2018 the Board approved a building “reach code” initiative to support local governments in adopting enhancements to the building code for low-carbon and EV ready buildings. The initiative is a joint project with Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE). The program includes no-cost technical assistance, model codes and other tools. The tools and model code language are available on the project website (www.BayAreaReachCodes.org).

In addition, in January 2020 the Board approved an extension of the reach code technical assistance plus additional elements – education and training for developers and contractors, and consumer education program on the benefits of all-electric buildings. This technical assistance is publicly available at www.AllElectricDesign.org. In December 2020, the Board 139
approved to extend the contract with TRC Engineers include technical assistance for developing policy for existing buildings. In February 2022 the Board extended the initiative for another two years.

Status
AB 130 / AB 306 Update : AB 130 (formerly AB 306) was passed into law as part of the budget trailer bill on June 20, 2025 and limits a local agency’s ability to adopt reach codes for residential properties. Reach codes focused on commercial construction are not impacted by the bill. Late amendments to the bill will allow local agencies to adopt residential reach codes under two scenarios:

Reach codes adopted prior to October 1 of this year, which is quickly approaching given limited council meetings between now and then
If they are part of their current general plan - this is based on language that is promising, but somewhat vague.

PCE and its consultants are in active discussions with staff at some member agencies on the topic, and are available to discuss with council members or agency staff at your request. 2025 Update: Many cities considering adoption of reach codes for the 2025 building code cycle are likely to adopt in the 2025 calendar year to align with overall building code adoption ahead of the January 1
st
, 2026 implementation date.

State Code: The new triennial state code cycle (going into effect on January 1 st
, 2026)
built on the local reach codes implementing an EV charger or outlet for every new multi-family residence with an assigned parking space. Code also requires heat pump water and space heating in the proscriptive path.

2.1 Home Upgrade Rebates and Zero Percent Loans
Background: Approved by the Board in May 2020, Peninsula Clean Energy launched the heat pump water heater (HPWH) rebates in January 2021. Additionally, in August 2021, the Board approved an On-Bill Financing program (referred to as the Zero Percent Loan). The program offers qualified residential customers a 0% interest loan up to $10,000 to fund the cost of eligible electrification upgrades. The Zero Percent Loan program launched in October 2022.

Updates to the rebate and loan programs have been instituted a few times, no more than annually, over the past years. Primarily changes include adjusting rebate amounts based on uptake and state and federal rebate landscape for those upgrades, and shortening the loan term to 5 years from the initial 10 years to establish a more sustainable “revolving fund”.

Status: The summary table below summarizes the number of rebates and loans issued per year, outside of the Full-Service Installation Pathway .

Measure Type 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025
Heat Pump HVAC Rebate 10 948 1221 546
140
Heat Pump Water Heater Rebate 149 172 588 521 258
Electrical Panel Rebate 19 34 177 202 93
0% Loan 1 342 449 199
PCE has moved to use the umbrella name “Home Upgrade” for all services for residential home electrification, including the rebates and loans. The Home Upgrade Full-Service Installation service is described in more detail below. For more information, please visit https://pencleanenergy.com/all-electric-homes

2.2 Home Upgrade Full-Service Installation (includes Low-Income Direct-Install and Emergency Water Heater Service)
Background: In May 2020, the Board approved implementing a direct-install low-income home upgrade program to offer minor home repair, energy efficiency, and electrification measures to income-qualified homeowners at no cost to them. The measures implemented in each home varied depending on the home’s needs but included at least one electrification measure. The program launched on September 2021. The Board extended the program through June 30, 2024. The program served 305 homes, including 9 homes who received whole home electrification as part of a pilot within the program.

Following a competitive selection process, the Board approved the $26M contract with Franklin Energy on February 22, 2024 for the next phase of the program, which will include a scaling-up the number of low-income homes served with whole home electrification upgrades at no-cost to these residents, offering full-service electrification installation services to non-income qualified residents at a low cost, and launching an emergency heat pump water heater replacement service. Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) also contracted with Franklin for the joint program.

Status: PCE and SVCE jointly worked with Franklin on program design and start up tasks.

PCE soft launched the low-income no-cost electrification segment of the program in late August by contacting a waitlist of customers collected in the previous phase of the program. In November 2024, PCE opened up the program to all customers (i.e. including those that do not qualify for no-cost installation) but it is not yet widely promoting it. The program has been slow to start due with lessons learned from the early participants and certain partner performance issues, delaying broader launch and marketing for the program PCE in discussion about changes to the program and partners to improve program performance. As of May 30, 2025, 117 home assessments have been completed; 56 customers have signed on to move forward with installations; and 8 installations have been completed. In addition to these homes through full-service installation, 4 homes have had heat pump water heaters installed through the emergency water heater replacement service.

For more information, please visit https://www.peninsulacleanenergy.com/residential/home-upgrade-services/

2.3 Local Government Building Electrification Program (GovBE) Background: In August 2023, the Board approved a local government building electrification program to help fund building electrification at local government facilities. The program will offer roughly $1 million per year in incentives and creates a $10 million dollar revolving loan fund. Incentives are based on therms saved at a given facility. Incentives and loan are capped 141
at $600k per jurisdiction per year, each. The program requires a 25% cost-share from non-PCE funds, and will have a streamlined, annual application process.

Status: GovBE’s 2025 funding round was opened in early June 2025, and applications will be open through June 30
th. There is $1 million in incentives available through a competitive solicitation process.

A separate $5 million from the surplus funds were allocated for schools however, no schools submitted for funding in this round. PCE plans to a separate application for schools this summer and is in discussions with the San Mateo County Office of Education on rollout. The plan is for the program to be continuously open until funding is depleted.

For more information, please visit https://www.peninsulacleanenergy.com/public-organization/govbe-program-electrification-for-public-buildings/

2.4 Personalized Support Services (Concierge)
Background: In March 2023, the Programs Team presented the Building Electrification Strategy to the BOD as a discussion item. The Building Electrification Strategy included a “hotline” provided electrification planning and technical support. In July 2024, Peninsula Clean Energy hired a new building electrification expert to provide customized support to Peninsula Clean Energy customers.

Status: The service launched on February 24, 2025. As of April 10, 2025, 24 support calls have been conducted and 15 additional calls are scheduled.

More info at https://www.peninsulacleanenergy.com/residential/home-electrification/personalized-support/ 3 Distributed Energy Programs
Peninsula Clean Energy is advancing distributed energy resources to provide resilience, lower decarbonization costs, provide load shaping to support our strategic goal for 24/7 renewables.

The projects described below are efforts towards meeting both of these goals.

3.1 Solar and Storage for Public Buildings (“GovPV”)
Background: The Solar and Storage for Public Buildings / GovPV Program aggregates local government facilities into a group procurement of solar and optionally battery storage systems. Peninsula Clean Energy provides no-cost site assessments and preliminary designs as well as manages the procurement process. Participating sites have systems installed as part of Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”) directly with Peninsula Clean Energy, which enable customers to get solar and battery storage at their facilities with no upfront investment.

This model enables significant cost savings for participating agencies.

Initial site scoping and up to $8 million in capital was approved by the Board in October 2020 for the first round, known as “GovPV1”. At the January 2023 Board Meeting, the Board of Directors approved the installation contract and power purchase agreements with 10 jurisdictions in the first round for a total of 12 sites yielding 1.7 MW solar. All of these systems are now commissioned and producing local solar energy. Battery storage systems are planned for 3 of these facilities.
142
Round 2 - or GovPV2 - was approved by the Board in January 2024, with a budget of $23 million. This portfolio includes 24 sites and 3.5MW solar. McMillan Electric, a local union firm, is providing construction services on round 2 and most of round 1. In February 2025, the Board approved an expanded scope with McMillan to build battery storage and EV chargers at GovPV sites, with an incremental budget increase of $7 million. All projects in rounds 1 and 2 are being pursued as NEM 2 projects, and are slated to become operational by April 2026.

Round 3 – or GovPV3 – is under development with the goal of establishing a sustainable business model. The portfolio includes much larger sites that necessitate the direct pairing of battery storage. PCE is working with third-party financiers to capitalize the portfolio and is evaluating federal policy changes to understand economic impacts and procurement rules.

Status: As of July 10, 2025, all 12 systems in Round 1 are operational, totaling 1.7MW of solar. These projects are expected to save participating agencies over $14 million in energy costs over the duration of the PPAs with PCE. Project closeout documentation and as-built drawings are being finalized in addition to customer monitoring system access.

For Round 2, all projects have executed PPAs and are in an advanced stage of project development. Three projects are mechanically complete. The majority of the portfolio will commence construction throughout 2025. All projects will be completed by April 2026 in order to successfully grandfather into NEM 2. As a result, participating agencies are projected to save over $16 million in energy costs over the duration of the PPAs with PCE.

For Round 3, staff is currently in early consultancy with agencies and conducted interviews as part of a competitive RFP process. However, staff has determined that we will need to run a separate, new RFP due to the complications arising from the federal policy changes impacting tariffs, the Investment Tax Credit (“ITC”), and restrictions on procurement related to foreign hardware procurement. While staff had previously forecasted that this portfolio could include 12 sites with a total of >5MW of solar and >10MWh of battery storage, determinations are being made on the size and composition of the portfolio. Further, while the previous portfolios have been funded directly with Peninsula Clean Energy capital, staff is working with external financing solutions providers that could allow us to diversify and scale the program’s capital.

Changes in federal policy are also necessitating recalculation of the financials for the project. While financials are less favorable they appear to continue to be favorable based on initial analysis.

For more information, please visit https://pencleanenergy.com/government-programs

3.2 Residential Solar + Battery Backup
Background: Peninsula Clean Energy’s programs for residential solar are split up into two customer segments: general market and low income. The general market program is referred to as Residential Solar + Battery Backup, and is currently closed for new enrollments. The low-income program is referred to as the Solar plus Battery Savings, detailed below.

The Residential Solar+ Battery Backup program utilizes batteries that were deployed by Sunrun and provide backup power to each home. These batteries are discharged daily to reduce PCE’s peak load. PCE will receive >1.5MW of daily peak load reduction through 2032.

Enrollment in the program closed in 2022 and PCE has been developing a successor program.
143
Separately, PCE developed a program to help low-income single-family homeowners access the State of California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP). SGIP provides behind-the-meter (BTM) storage or solar + storage systems to eligible low-income single-family homeowners to deliver bill savings and resilience benefits. The program will leverage state SGIP incentives which are expected to mostly or fully fund the installation of systems for income qualified customers. PCE is targeting 200 total installations at low-income customer sites, most of which we expect will be fully funded by the State. This would result in approximately 1MW of solar and 2.5MWh of battery storage. In October, the Board approved the contract with the competitively selected developer Haven Energy to manage installation of the systems.

Status: PCE opened the program to help customers access SGIP funds in August 2024.

Applications were closed to new applicants on December 31. Haven is submitting applications for 244 customers. They have started installing systems for customers who were approved for an SGIP rebate. They have completed 37 battery-only installations so far, resulting in approximately 500kWh of battery energy storage capacity powering low income residential homes. However, CPUC approval on the “Qualified DR Program” remains outstanding, a requirement for the solar and storage installations. The policy team has been working to resolve this issue.

3.3 FLEXmarket
Background: In November 2021 the Board approved a program plan for the establishment of an innovative meter efficiency and load-shaping program using what is known as FLEXmarket. FLEXmarket is a market-based program structure that provides incentives to program “aggregators” to implement programs for energy efficiency and load shaping. The novel elements of the structure include a “pay-for-performance” approach which only provides incentives on confirmed performance using meter data. This novel structure was innovated by MCE. In addition, the program plan was developed for submission to the CPUC to allow Peninsula Clean Energy to run the program with fully reimbursed funding through the CPUC.

Peninsula Clean Energy’s billing data services provider Calpine has entered into a strategic partnership with the firm Recurve to provide FLEXmarket services through a streamlined structure. Providers of energy efficiency and building electrification equipment can apply for incentives through this program.

Staff developed the commercial version of the program and launched the market in July 2023.

Like the residential version, providers of commercial energy efficiency and building electrification equipment, as well as aggregators of these projects, can pursue incentives through the Commercial FLEXmarket.

Status: The FLEXMarket Program has achieved approximately $1.8 million in total system benefits to date.

The program has paused new enrollments due to the closure of the current funding cycle as of May 2025. Project savings for enrolled projects will continue to be tracked and will conclude in Q4. Looking ahead, we submitted a new funding request to the CPUC in May for a three-year cycle covering 2025-2028 and are currently awaiting approval. We anticipate receiving approval and relaunching the FLEXMarket program in late Q3 or early Q4 of this year.

3.4 Green Access Community Solar (DAC-GT)
Background: The Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff program (“DAC-GT”) and associated Community Solar Green Tariff (“CSGT”) are community solar programs developed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to enable residents in eligible census tracts to participate in renewable energy projects, and to promote development of renewable projects in DACs. Participating customers will receive a 20% discount on their full electric bill (PG&E and Peninsula Clean Energy charges). Peninsula Clean Energy administers these programs on behalf of its customers.

Peninsula Clean Energy began enrolling DAC-GT customers in San Mateo County in January 2022 and customers in Los Banos in April 2022. Those customers are currently served by an interim resource procured from Marin Clean Energy pending Peninsula Clean Energy’s procurement of a new renewable resource for the program.

Status: The program, publicly known as Green Access, is currently serving approximately 2,500 customers. Peninsula Clean Energy signed a PPA with Renewable America, LLC for a 3MW solar resource located in Dos Palos, CA, approximately 15 miles southeast of the City of Los Banos. This project is operational as of March 2025. 1,200 additional customers were subscribed with the new system, each receiving a 20% discount on their electricity bill.

3.5 Energy Efficiency Application to CPUC
Background: As part of Peninsula Clean Energy’s strategy to diversify revenue and leverage external funding for customer programs, we are preparing to submit our first Application for Third-Party Administration (ATA) to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This application aims to secure a third-party portfolio under the CPUC’s energy efficiency framework. In alignment with CPUC priorities, the portfolio will emphasize greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions and decarbonization, to the extent permitted within CPUC cost-effectiveness and policy constraints. This is PCE’s first ATA submission; currently, only one other Community Choice Aggregator (CCA) holds an approved third-party portfolio, making this a strategic and precedent-setting effort.

Status: PCE is currently in the early-to-mid development phase of the ATA application, which is due to the CPUC in February 2026. Over the six months, PCE conducted a comprehensive market assessment that included stakeholder interviews, surveys, presentations, and partner meetings to identify unmet needs, barriers, and high-impact opportunities in our service area.

Based on this foundation, PCE conducted a solicitation and selected The Energy Coalition as our technical consultant to support the detailed development of the portfolio. Our next phase, running through late fall, will focus on translating market insights into a cohesive, cost-effective program design and implementation strategy.

We have notified CPUC Energy Division staff of our intent to file and are participating in feedback sessions related to updated application templates. Our regulatory and policy teams are also actively engaged in discussions to ensure alignment with CPUC priorities. No major risks have emerged at this stage, but cost-effectiveness and portfolio integration will be key focus areas as we move into design and modeling.
4 Transportation Programs

4.1 Used Electric Vehicle (EV)
Background: Originally launched in March 2019, the Used EV Rebate Program currently provides a $2,000 rebate to income-qualified residents. Customers have been able to seamlessly combine the PCE rebate and federal rebate at the point of sale, providing up to $6,000 in downpayment assistance.

Status: 919 rebates have been provided throughout the program history. The new PCE in-house call center has taken over “EV Advisor” services, helping customers navigate various rebate programs they may qualify for, in addition to PCE’s rebate.

Due to recent legislation, federal pre-owned EV credits will end on September 30. Staff are evaluating whether to adjust the program.

For more information, please visit https://pencleanenergy.com/usedev/

4.2 “EV Ready” Charging Design Assistance & Incentives
Background: In December 2018, the Board approved the EV Ready program, consisting of EV charging infrastructure incentives and technical assistance. The program is open and available to multi-family housing, affordable housing, workplace charging, and general public-access sites, through there is a general focus on multi-family housing, which has been a historically underserved population in state EV charging programs.

PCE offers free project design assistance, facilitated through CLEAResult. There are currently 300+ active projects receiving this assistance and, on average, projects receiving assistance more than double the overall size of their EV charging projects.

Status: The program has helped the community install nearly 2,000 chargers (70%+ at multi-family housing) with more than 3,000 additional chargers in progress. The EV Ready program was an award winner at the 2024 CalCCA conference and is a statewide model with installation costs well below other similar programs. Key elements of the program are being replicated by a number of other state and regional programs.

Some of the largest multi-family EV charging projects in the nation are occurring currently in the EV Ready program. This includes the installation 92 chargers installed in East Palo Alto, 144 chargers in Millbrae/Burlingame, ~140 chargers in Daly City, and over 200 chargers in South San Francisco, the single largest retrofit multi-family EV charging project in the state. A recent ribbon cutting in East Palo Alto received local media coverage.

To address EV charging affordability issues, PCE is also currently leading an innovation grant opportunity. This will develop new EV charging systems that can be submeter to a multi-family residential unit, even though the charger is connected to a separate meter, reducing or eliminating price markups experienced by EV drivers that utilize third-party charging systems.

Orange Charger has been awarded this innovation grant and work has begun.

For more information, please visit https://pencleanenergy.com/ev-ready/

4.3 E-Bike Rebate Program
Background: The Board originally approved the income-qualified E-Bikes Rebate program in 146
July 2020 and has run in annual cycles to provide rebates to residents with low to moderate incomes. The program has provided over 1,000 rebates since 2021. Customers can use the rebate either at qualifying bike shops for a point-of-sale discount. with several participating bike shops in San Mateo County and Merced County (for Los Banos-based customers).

Status: The program relaunched on May 6. Since the program opened, we have received 544 applications. Of that, 161 e-bikes have already been purchased. In total, there have been 1,150 e-bikes purchased through this program.

For more information, please visit https://www.pencleanenergy.com/ebikes

4.4 Public EV Fleet Program (GovEV)
Background: The Board approved the GovEV Fleet Program in November 2020. This program is comprised of three components to help local agencies begin their fleet electrification efforts: hands-on technical assistance, gap funding, and a vehicle to building resiliency demonstration that will assess the costs and benefits of utilizing fleet EVs as backup power resources for agencies in grid failures and other emergencies. In August 2022, the Board of Directors approved a contract with Optony to assist in the administration of this program and further approved an extension with Optony in March 2024.

Status: 13 cities have enrolled, including: Brisbane, Burlingame, Caltrain (non-revenue fleet), Central Coast Water Authority, Daly City, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Menlo Park, Millbrae, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Mateo, and the San Mateo Community College District.

Millbrae recently completed construction on 18 chargers at their Corporation Yard. Menlo Park, Burlingame, and San Mateo are expected to begin construction on major EV fleet projects this year.

Staff are developing guidance on resiliency options for EV fleets, to be published shortly.

5.1 Member Agency Energy Grants
Background: In December 2023 the Board directed PCE to implement a set of initiatives utilizing a one-time allocation from surplus funds. One of the programs is the Member Agency Energy Grants with up to $11.5 million for grants to member agencies as flexible funding for a range of clean energy projects. Funding is provided by formula in a non-competitive allocation for qualifying projects required to execute within two years.

For more information, please visit https://www.peninsulacleanenergy.com/public-organization/member-agency-energy-grants/ Status: Proposals have been received from all member agencies with 17 grant agreements and projects underway.

RECOMMENDATION
Informational.

BACKGROUND
Sacramento Summary – the 2025-26 Legislative Session
On July 14, the Legislature entered its last week of session before it breaks for the month-long summer recess on July 18. Prior to the summer break, all bills must pass through policy committees in the second house.

The Legislature will reconvene on August 18.

By August 29, bills with a fiscal component will need to be passed out of the fiscal committees.

Those bills that pass are then referred to the floor of the house.

September 12 is the last day for each house to pass bills.

Governor Newsom has until October 12 to act on any bills that are sent to his desk by the Legislature.

The May budget revision from Governor Newsom showed a $12 billion deficit for FY 2025-26.

The deficit could grow if the anticipated federal funds do not materialize.

The legislature passed a $321 billion budget on June 13. That timing met the constitutional deadline, but it differed substantially for the budget proposed by Governor Newsom. Intense negotiations between the Governor and legislative leaders continued until the end of June.

The budget that was agreed to by the Legislature and the Governor included the language found in AB 306 (Nick Schultz, D–Burbank), the bill that would place a 6-year moratorium on reach codes and any other local government efforts to modify building codes on new construction throughout the state. It would also impact existing building modifications. 149
Peninsula Clean Energy signed onto a coalition letter sent to the Legislature’s Budget Committee opposing the inclusion of AB 306 in the Budget Trailer Bill. A copy of that letter is included with this report.

Peninsula Clean Energy, working with other stakeholders that included local cities and CCAs were able to insert two important amendments into AB 306 prior to its inclusion on the budget trailer bill. First, jurisdictions that have adopted Reach codes prior to October 1 of this year can enforce those ordinances; and second, jurisdictions that have a general plan that references emissions savings may adopt Reach codes to address that provision. Legal counsels are continuing to review the language in the bill and evaluate how jurisdictions are best advised to proceed if they wish to adopt Reach Codes and other building codes during the next 6 years.

In the June Legislative Update, we included a copy of correspondence authored by Sen.

Scott Wiener (D-Daly City), Chair of the Senate Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, and signed by 17 legislators including Senator Josh Becker, and Assemblymember Diane Papan that is addressed to the President of the California Public Utilities Commission. In the letter, the legislators ask that the CPUC review and approve access for CCA customers to Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) funds.

Our effort continues through the summer recess to convince the CPUC to approve access to Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) funding for CCA customers. Senator Wiener is leading the charge and has proposed budget trailer bill language that would grant CCA customers access to SGIP dollars. In addition, a coalition of CCAs, including PCE, has met with legislators, the Department of Finance, and the CPUC to make the case that SGIP must be available to CCA customers. In response, the CPUC issued an Assigned Commissioner's Ruling seeking feedback on the program design that is currently obstructing CCA customers from accessing SGIP funds; responses are due July 15, 2025.

DISCUSSION
Legislation of Interest
We have observed a significant increase in the number of energy bills introduced in 2025 as compared to prior years. Please refer to the attached Bill Matrix for a compendium of some of the legislation being followed closely by Peninsula Clean Energy and CalCCA. This is not a complete list of the bills we are following. More than 100 bills of interest have been introduced.

Many of those not included in the Matrix are bills that are not moving forward in 2025.

Peninsula Clean Energy Policy 1 delegates authority by the Board of Directors to the CEO to timely engage and position the organization on public policy matters, including legislative and regulatory issues.

Some of the bills we are actively engaged on and/or closely watching currently include:

SB 540 (Josh Becker, D-Menlo Park and Henry Stern, D-Calabasas) SB 540, authored by Senators Josh Becker and Henry Stern, would allow the formation of a regional transmission organization to operate regional energy markets with other western states. Currently the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), the authority that manages the transmission grid in California, is only permitted to use energy from markets outside the state on a limited basis.
150
SB 540 was heard and passed by the Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities and Communications, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Committee on Appropriations.

During the consideration by the Senate Judiciary Committee the bill was significantly amended. New oversight mandates and directives that would require California to withdraw from the market without discretion under certain circumstances as well as directions dictating future market service were added to SB 540.

Prior to the floor vote a Floor Alert in support of advancing SB 540 to the Assembly was circulated which included organizations representing labor, environmental and clean groups, and included CalCCA and several CCAs including PCE. A copy of the Floor Alert was attached to the June Legislative Update.

Further amendment of the bill was discussed before the vote on the floor of the Senate. With the understanding that amendments would be considered when the bill was heard in the Assembly, SB 540 was passed by the full Senate by a vote of 36-0.

Late on July 10 it was announced that SB 540 would be heard in the Assembly Committee on Utilities and Energy on Wednesday, July 16.

At the time of the preparation of this report amendments to the bill have not been made public.

As a result, and pending information about possible amendments, Peninsula Clean Energy has not submitted a position letter to the Assembly Committee on Utilities and Energy regarding SB 540.

AB 1372 (Papan, D– San Mateo)
This bill, sponsored by Caltrain, would direct the California Public Utilities Commission to add regenerative braking to those energy sources that would receive compensation under Net Billing Tariff (NBT) and in turn require that Caltrain receive compensation for regenerative braking from PCE and other energy providers.

Peninsula Clean Energy has had extensive conversations with Caltrain and with Asm. Papan’s staff on this bill and have shared concerns that as written the legislation infringes upon CCA rate setting autonomy.

Discussions are ongoing between PCE, Caltrain and the author. The deliberations have included San Jose Clean Energy as it too provides electrical generation for Caltrain.

Just prior to the initial hearing on the bill before the Assembly Committee on Utilities and Energy the legislation was converted into a 2-year bill, meaning it will not be considered by the Assembly until January 2026.

SB 283 (John Laird, D–Monterey)
Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facilities are viewed as an essential tool needed for the state to reach its clean energy goals that employ new technologies and features that make them much safer than the infrastructure at Moss Landing that caught fire in January 2025.

The Moss Landing area is represented in the Legislature by state Senator John Laird (D-151 Monterey), who has filed a bill on BESS facilities, SB 283. SB 283 seeks to ensure that BESS facilities develop emergency response plans, hold regular safety drills, and document maintenance and incidents. SB 283 does not address the location of BESS facilities. After the introduction of the bill, it was amended to require facilities over 600 KWH be in a noncombustible, dedicated-use building or is a remote outdoor installation.

SB 283 was passed by the Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities and Communications, the Senate Committee on Local Government and the Senate Committee on Appropriations for consideration. It was then passed by a vote of the full state Senate.

In the Assembly the bill was referred to the Assembly Committee on Utilities and Energy and the Committee on Local Government. It has since passed Assembly U&E.

CalCCA has sent a letter of support for SB 283. Previously, CalCCA had taken an oppose unless amended position on SB 283. Concerns expressed to the author are around the definition of a BESS and clarification of the date on which the bill would apply due to concern about impacts on projects that are already in the pipeline. Amendments to the bill resolved those issues.

SB 254 (Becker, D – Menlo Park) and AB 825 (Petrie-Norris, D – Irvine) In late April Senator Becker, Chair of the Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities and Communications introduced SB 254. The bill addresses electricity affordability and addresses the way wildfire mitigation and transmission are financed and seeks to discourage rate increases that exceed inflation.

Also introduced in late spring was AB 825, legislation authored by the Chair of the Assembly Committee on Utilities and Energy, Cottie Petrie-Norris. The Assembly legislation seeks to reduce ratepayer costs by facilitating public-private transmission project financing and improving permitting processes for large clean energy projects. It addresses the mitigation of wildfire costs through securitization.

AB 825 and SB 254 have been passed in their respective houses and have been sent to the other body for consideration. As of the date of the preparation of this Legislative Update each bill is awaiting its first scheduled hearing on July 16.

CalCCA and PCE have filed Oppose Unless Amended letters regarding AB 825. A copy of PCE's correspondence is included with the Legislative Update. Peninsula Clean Energy shares the concerns expressed in the letter that the bill infringes on CCA governance, is duplicative, and isn't focused on the real cost drivers impacting affordability.

Federal Developments of Interest
Peninsula Clean Energy continues to closely monitor the many Executive Orders and legislative actions emanating from Washington for their impact on energy policy and Peninsula Clean Energy.

Please find a separate report on federal activities and the recently enacted bill H.R.1 included with this Board packet.

RE: AB 130: Housing Trailer Bill: Moratorium on State and Local Building Codes –

OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
Dear Chairs Wiener and Gabriel,
The undersigned organizations must respectfully oppose AB 130 (Gabriel) unless it is amended to take out language from AB 306 (Rivas, Schultz) that would impose a moratorium on California’s state and local building code processes.

Pausing California’s building code cycle will have severe consequences on housing production costs and flexibility, our ability to mitigate and prevent harm from natural disasters and extreme heat events, and energy efficiency and decarbonization measures that save ratepayer dollars – without reducing the cost of housing in California. This policy is best analyzed through the policy committee process and does not belong in a budget trailer bill.

Our organizations support the stated intent of AB 130’s building code language to speed up construction of homes to rebuild after the Los Angeles wildfires and increase housing supply across the state. However, streamlining requirements to support new construction can be done without adversely affecting efforts to advance decarbonization in existing construction that lower costs, protect public health, and mitigate climate change.

Local governments across California are interested in adopting cost-effective, common-sense measures for existing residential buildings. An example is “AC to Heat Pump" existing building reach codes that would require heat pumps to be installed instead of air conditioning units when an air conditioner is replaced or added in an existing home. Just this existing building code alone will save households an estimated $5 billion over the 6-year moratorium period on redundant up-front costs statewide and lower household electricity bills by $200-$600 annually, while having no impact on new construction or the supply of housing.

The triennial update to the building code is intended to incorporate changes that make California’s buildings cleaner, cheaper to construct and operate, more efficient, and more resilient against wildfires and other natural disasters. AB 130 would force the state and local governments to skip 6 years of improvements to the building code. This complex policy 155
3 will have many unintended consequences and should be considered through the regular policy process, not a rushed trailer bill.

For all these reasons we urge you to remove Sections 29 - 31 and 37- 40 on building standards from AB 130 prior to the vote, and allow AB 306 to continue working through the regular policy process.

The Honorable Angelique Ashby
Chair, Senate Committee on Business, Professions & Economic Development 1021 O Street, Room 8630
Sacramento, CA 95814
Re: AB 825 (Petrie-Norris) – OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
Dear Chair Ashby,
On behalf of Peninsula Clean Energy Authority (PCE), a community choice aggregator (CCA) serving approximately 800,000 Californians in San Mateo County and the City of Los Banos in Merced County, we write to convey our position of oppose unless amended regarding AB 825 (Petrie-Norris). AB 825 would create a new Statewide Demand Side Management Program Review Task Force (Task Force) within the California Energy Commission (CEC), as outlined in Section 4 of the bill. We believe that this new Task Force infringes on local governance, is duplicative of work already assigned to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), is ill-suited to handle the required technical work, and will lead to significant costs to ratepayers and taxpayers while delivering little, if any, savings in return.

We believe that changes can be made to AB 825 that can help the state achieve its climate goals and reduce energy bills; accordingly please find below the areas we believe are problematic:

1. AB 825’s Task Force infringes on local governance: As a community agency governed by locally elected officials, PCE engages with our member cities and county, continuously receiving customer feedback regarding local needs and challenges. This information is then used to craft programs, like energy efficiency and demand response programs, that are locally evaluated, authorized, and funded. AB 825 would establish the Task Force, a statewide entity that would supplant our local authority. Under this proposed task force, PCE would be required to redesign, consolidate, or terminate locally designed, authorized, and funded programs based on the preference of a state agency that is not engaged with, nor accountable to that community. We believe that it is inappropriate for a state agency to override a local governing body to determine what is beneficial for that community – akin to a state task force overriding decisions made by a city council.

2. The Task Force called for in AB 825 is duplicative of work already assigned to the CPUC: Pursuant to AB 3264, which was signed into law just 10 months ago, the CPUC is already required to evaluate and submit a report on energy efficiency and demand-side management programs to the Legislature every three years. In fact, the metrics that the CPUC is directed to evaluate and report on are nearly identical to those that the newly designed task force is directed to use. While the scope of the programs and work is expanded under the Task Force, there is significant overlap that will result in duplicative work. PCE believes that the CPUC should finish its evaluation rather than assigning another entity to evaluate and develop a report on the same programs. 174

3. AB 825’s Task Force is ill-suited to handle the required technical work. The CPUC has spent many years working on energy efficiency and demand management programs and has developed a certain level of expertise that is not present in the other agencies assigned to the new Task Force. For example, in 2024, after acknowledging that the previous “total system benefit” metric for energy efficiency was outdated, the CPUC worked with stakeholders to refine the metric to include resource adequacy (capacity) and greenhouse gas emission benefits over the lifecycle of an energy efficiency program. This is just one example of the evolving landscape and highly technical nature of energy efficiency and demand management programs that agencies such as CARB, DCSD, and CAEATFA would be ill-suited to evaluate or require program changes. Assigning these agencies to opine or make changes, including termination, to programs for which these agencies lack the technical background could lead to unjustified criticism or program ineffectiveness.

4. AB 825’s Task Force will result in significant costs and little, if any, savings for ratepayers: To implement AB 3264, the CPUC was provided three new positions in this year’s State Budget. The work assigned to the new task force would likely need the same number of positions for each agency represented. Regarding the CEC workload, this work would be covered by the Energy Resources Programs Account (ERPA), which is paid for by ratepayers. It is important to note that this account is in a structural deficit, so the Legislature will need to authorize the collection of additional revenue from ratepayers; alternatively, the CEC will either not be able to comply with AB 825 or they will need to abandon other legislatively mandated work. It is also important to note that the CPUC recently performed an analysis to investigate the issue of energy efficiency program overlap and potential program consolidation and found that out of $1.75 billion spent on energy efficiency programs, only $1.5 million is at risk of program overlap, which equates to about 0.08% PCE supports aggressive efforts to reduce energy bills, to benefit our local communities and customers.

While we believe all of the other provisions in AB 825 represent a significant step forward, and applaud the author for seeking to advance several proposals aimed at reducing energy costs for California ratepayers, we must respectfully Oppose, Unless Amended, AB 825, unless Section 4 is removed.

If you have any questions, please contact Mike Mielke with our Policy and Government Affairs team.

Highlights of the meeting included the following:
• Matters subsequent to posting the Agenda. None.
• Public Comment. None.
• Consent Agenda - The Board approved the following items:
o Minutes of the Regular Board Meeting held on May 21, 2025 • Closed Session Item:
o The Board discussed legal risks and considerations related to a contract. • Regular Agenda Items:
o Resolution 25-06-01 – Authorize Termination of Goal Line Energy Storage Services Agreement: The Board approved the termination of the Goal Line project contract. Goal Line was a 50 MW long-duration energy storage project that missed contractual milestones and will not be built. This resolution directs the termination of the contract, collection of the development security deposit amount, and a release for CC Power and members of any risks or obligations. Members have already considered steps to pursue alternative long-duration storage solutions, where applicable.
o Strategic Plan Refresh – Chair Lori Mitchell (San Jose Clean Energy) laid out a plan for the Board to review and potentially augment the 2022 CC Power Strategic Plan.

In preparation for an in-person meeting in October, material will be developed to facilitate board discussion on potential strategic plan updates. A refreshed plan may include strategies to further prioritize ideas to best serve members, to address core CCA needs or strategic risks, or to increase predictability in the annual budgeting process. Such updates to the strategic plan may also inform how CC Power is resourced over time, what additional policies are needed, and what membership structures are most appropriate.

2 o General Manager Report: the General Manager noted the timely construction steps and progress for the Tumbleweed Energy Storage Project with an expected online date of April 2026, the study results of $6M in benefit from a potential software optimization tool that could be considered under certain Resource Adequacy rules, and the robust response of developers to the CC Power geothermal power project request for information (RFI). The Board deliberated on how a small minority of RFI responses fell in one member’s territory, and how that member’s ongoing support activities should or could affect eventual project offtake opportunities. This policy topic was referred to an Ad Hoc Committee. Other administrative items were noted, including other upcoming policy-development matters, invoicing activities expected in June-October, and recently signed contracts.

How to handle comments on Nextdoor
What qualifies as an incendiary comment?
● The post contains aggressive or accusatory language.
● The post spreads misinformation about PCE’s programs, services, or billing—or about clean energy. ● The post escalates negativity within the Nextdoor community, even if the original post is not negative.

How do I know if PCE should respond?
Does the comment contain misinformation that could harm PCE’s reputation? Is the comment receiving significant, negative attention (likes, replies, etc.)? Does responding to the post align with PCE’s values and commitment to candor, transparency, and community support?
Is someone asking a question related to PCE’s billing or services? It may be helpful to respond proactively, even if the original comment isn’t particularly negative. This early intervention can help prevent misinformation and keep the community conversation on track.

I found an incendiary comment. What should I do next?

1. Notify the Marketing team.

Send an email with the subject line: “Nextdoor comment for review” with a direct link to the post and any necessary screenshots to the following PCE team members:
● Aleisha Juarez, [email protected]
● Kerstin Grune (cc’d), [email protected] ● Gwen Rose (cc’d), [email protected]
● Kirsten Andrews-Schwind (cc’d), [email protected] ● Jayden Hanan (cc’d), [email protected]

2. Be prepared to take action.

Given Nextdoor’s limited access, we may ask you to respond via your personal profile. If the Marketing team confirms that a response is necessary, we will provide you with the appropriate post copy.

Helpful reminders
● When you see a negative Nextdoor comment, be a calm observer and collect details for escalation. ● Do not engage with incendiary comments, unless the Marketing team provides you with post copy. ● Responses on behalf of PCE should always reflect the organization’s values. ● Stay ahead of the negativity: Responding to questions early can help keep the tone positive and prevent the situation from escalating.

Social media FAQs
Here are some helpful tips for responding to frequently asked questions about Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) on social media. Frame your response in a way that is accurate, concise, and friendly—all while staying true to PCE’s mission and values. Feel free to adapt these prompts to your own voice, keeping it casual, personable, and polite.

Depending on the social media platform, your response could also encourage people to contact PCE Support for more information at [email protected] or 1-866-966-0110.

What is Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE)? How is PCE different from PG&E? PCE is your local, not-for-profit electricity provider. PCE provides the majority of the electricity supply—97% in fact—for San Mateo County and Los Banos.

PCE provides you with clean electricity, while PG&E delivers it to you through their wires. It’s kind of like ordering takeout from your favorite restaurant (PCE) and having a food delivery service (PG&E) deliver it to your door.

Does PCE cost more than PG&E?
No! PCE’s rates are competitive with or even lower than PG&E’s, so you save money with PCE. You can compare PCE’s and PG&E’s rates here:

Yes, you can opt out. However, PCE’s rates are typically lower than PG&E’s, so opting out of PCE will make your electricity bill go up.

I opted out of PCE and my bill went down.

When you opted out of PCE, PG&E put you on a special temporary rate (TBCC) for six months. Recently, this rate has been lower than PCE’s, which is probably why your bill went down. However, after six months, you’ll be switched back to PG&E’s regular rates, which are at least 5% higher than PCE’s. So, even though it seems like you’re saving money now, your bill will likely go up in the long term.

What clean energy options do I have?
You are automatically enrolled in ECOplus, which is 100% clean, 50% from renewable sources, and cheaper than PG&E. If you want to do even more good for the environment, you can upgrade to ECO100, which is 100% renewable energy for a small additional cost.

I have solar power. Why do I still have fees?
PCE only charges for the electricity you use beyond what your solar panels generate. If your panels produce less energy than your household needs, you’ll see charges for the extra electricity you pulled from the grid.

However, if your solar panels generate more energy than you use, PCE gives you a credit! Why did my bill go up after switching to PCE?
Your bill increase is likely due to PG&E’s delivery rates, not PCE. In fact, PCE has frozen rates multiple times to keep costs stable and put savings back in customers’ pockets. 181 DATE: July 18, 2025
