SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment to Contract for Climate Action Planning Support with San Mateo County Department of Sustainability in the Amount of $95,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $380,000
Item No. 1

PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
JPA Board Correspondence

RECOMMENDATION
Delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to execute an Amendment to the Contract with San Mateo County Department of Sustainability to add $95,000 for a total of up to $380,000 and extend the term to December 31, 2026 to provide climate action planning support to local governments.

BACKGROUND
Peninsula Clean Energy’s mission is to provide affordable, clean electricity and advance local solutions that lower costs, reduce pollution, and strengthen community resilience. The County of San Mateo’s Department of Sustainability (DOS) has supported local governments in their climate action plan (CAP) efforts through the Regionally Integrated Climate Action Planning Suite (RICAPS) since 2011, providing emissions inventories, business-as-usual forecasts, a CAP document template, a menu of CAP measures with cost-benefit analysis, visualization of emissions data, technical consultation and facilitated collaboration. The RICAPS program has been instrumental in enabling robust and well-aligned climate action plans across the County.

Through this program, all 21 agencies in the County have engaged with and received substantive support through the program. These activities were carried out by DOS with consulting support from outside consultants under contract to DOS.

Funding for the initial set of RICAPS tools was from a set of grants from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Until 2019, RICAPS was supported by California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved funding from PG&E with matching funds by C/CAG. In 2019 PG&E reduced its funding and Peninsula Clean Energy began support for the RICAPS program to ensure the support continued uninterrupted. In 2023 the Board approved and PCE executed a 3-year contract for up to $285,000 to support the program.

DISCUSSION
Staff is seeking approval by the Board on the contract with DOS to continue the RICAPS 6 program for the purpose of providing climate action planning technical support to San Mateo County jurisdictions including:

1. Technical support for monthly RICAPS working group meetings and Implementation working groups for city and County sustainability staff

2. Updating the RICAP tools including CAP templates, forecasts, menu of measures, cost-benefit analysis tool, emissions visualization, as well as new tools for decarbonization planning and policies

3. Providing individualized advice and climate action planning technical assistance to cities using the RICAPS tools

4. Tracking and providing support for city and County progress on climate action planning and execution including municipal operations
Peninsula Clean Energy staff is recommending for approval the attached amendment to the contract with DOS. The amendment extends to funding through the end of 2026 and align the contract with the RICAPS planning process the DOS plans to undertake in 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
Expenditures are within the approved FY 2025-2026 budget.

Support city participation in SMCEW efforts to identify municipal decarbonization projects to put in Capital Improvement Plans (CIPs) and/or implement using PCE GovBE funding (see Exhibit C). c. Facilitate countywide engagement with the recommended decarbonization strategies, and support sustainability staff in advancing projects within their jurisdictions.

2.7 Providing other climate action support as requested PCEA may request additional strategic support on activities relating to improving the level of engagement and overall satisfaction with workgroup meetings. PCEA may also request additional strategic and technical support on reach code development, existing building electrification initiatives, and cross-county programmatic and policy coordination. This may involve data gathering and synthesis as well as integrating equity-oriented considerations.
2026 Priorities

1. Facilitate three Implementation Groups to advance project development and implementation across three key topic areas: building electrification, EV infrastructure deployment, and mode shift. Key projects for 2026 include hosting a multi-family decarbonization summit, support for reach code development, grant proposals, Ebike program concepts, an EV resources hub, and EV charging messaging campaigns (in collaboration with PCE staff).

SUBJECT: Approval of Amendments to Contracts with Sports Basement, ELV Motors, Kevin's Bikes, and Chain Reaction Bicycles, and a New Contract with ELV Motor Bikes, as Part of the E-Bikes Program
Item No. 2

PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
JPA Board Correspondence

RECOMMENDATION
Approval of contract amendments with Sports Basement, ELV Motors, Kevin’s Bikes, and Chain Reaction Bicycles, and a new contract with ELV Motor Bikes, as part of the E-Bikes program.

Transportation emissions are one of the most significant challenges to decarbonization in San Mateo County, accounting for about 50% of direct emissions.

To support decarbonization efforts, the Board approved the Peninsula Clean Energy Program Roadmap in September 2018. As part of the implementation of the Roadmap in July 2020, the Board approved a low-income e-bike rebate program, named the “E-Bikes for Everyone” program.

The e-bike rebate program has evolved since it first began in 2021. Initially the rebate was $800 and was only available during limited months in the summer. Under the current program, which has been very popular with lower income customers, the rebate is up to $1,000 per customer and open year round. Additionally, Senior Coastsiders and El Concilio, two community organizations, have partnered with PCE to provide assistance to customers who need help applying for the program rebate.

The e-bike rebate program has been a particularly popular program among PCE customers. In a customer testimonial, Laura from Los Banos commented that it has made biking more accessible and “it’s something I look forward to every night instead of just sitting at home in 15 the evening.” Customers have also reported that they reduce the amount they drive by about 10% following the acquisition of an e-bike, yielding significant emissions reductions.

Since the e-bike program opened in 2021, nearly 2,000 e-bike rebates have been provided to the community as of December 2025. More than twenty local bike shops have contracted with Peninsula Clean Energy to provide rebates as a point-of-sale discount to customers, furthering the value and customer accessibility of the program.

DISCUSSION
Bike shops enter into contract directly with Peninsula Clean Energy to provide e-bike rebates to customers at the point of sale. Four bike shops, listed in the table below, are expected to exceed $250,000 in spending through the end of fiscal year 2027. PCE staff are seeking to amend these contracts by increasing the total scope of each agreement to allow for increased spending through the end of fiscal year 2027.

Sports
Basement
$1,020,000
Kevin’s Bikes $830,000
Chain Reaction
Bicycles
$830,000
ELV Motors $380,000
In addition to the 4 bike shops amendments above, a new bike shop is also being added to the program. ELV Motor Bikes, Inc., a newly formed bike shop following the acquisition of ELV Motors, is expected to be a high volume bike shop in the program and has a proposed contract value of $750,000 through the end of fiscal year 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this program is included in the Board-approved Community Energy Programs budget.

SUBJECT: Approval of Amendments to Peninsula Clean Energy Operating Rules and Regulations: "Policy 16, Policies and Procedures for Board of Directors and Committees"
Item No. 3

PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
JPA Board Correspondence

RECOMMENDATION
Approval of Amendments to Peninsula Clean Energy Operating Rules and Regulations:
"Policy 16, Policies and Procedures for Board of Directors and Committees"

BACKGROUND
Policy 16 was adopted in 2018 to establish clear rules governing the Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) Board of Directors, its Standing Committees, and the use of Board Ad Hoc Committees and Staff-Led Committees. Over time, the policy has been updated to reflect evolving governance needs, adjustments to committee structures, and changes in relevant State laws.

Revisions most recently adopted in September 2024 formalized best practices for: Board leadership terms, attendance expectations, and conflict-of-interest controls, and aligned with PCE's governing Joint Powers Agreement.

In 2025, the Board convened an Ad Hoc Efficacy Committee to evaluate the effectiveness of PCE’s Board governance structure, including the Executive Committee, Audit and Finance Committee, and the Community Advisory Committee (CAC). As part of this review, the Committee examined whether each committee continued to provide clear value, whether responsibilities were appropriately allocated, and whether Policy 16 accurately reflected current practice. Following this work, the Board voted in November 2025 to sunset the Community Advisory Committee requiring Policy 16 to be updated accordingly. From there, the Ad Hoc committee reviewed the Executive and Audit and Finance Committees and other administrative edits to Policy 16 and provided direction to create a streamlined, legally compliant, and updated version of the policy that focuses on core Board-regulated governance functions.

In addition, PCE staff and the Ad Hoc Efficacy Committee identified several sections of the 2024 policy that restated state law rather than establishing Board operating policy. 65 Specifically, public participation and decorum at meetings are governed by the Brown Act, and remote attendance rules are governed by State teleconferencing statutes (AB 2449 and, prospectively, SB 707). Because these subjects are controlled by state law and must be updated whenever legislation changes, Staff recommended that these sections be removed from the body of Policy 16 and would instead maintained in staff-managed documents that can be updated as needed by the Board clerk.

DISCUSSION
Summary of Proposed Policy 16 Changes:

1. Removal of Community Advisory Committee (CAC)
References to the CAC were removed reflecting the Board’s November 2025 decision to sunset the CAC effective December 1, 2025. Because the new Community Feedback Forum, which effectively replaces the CAC, is not a standing committee of the Board it is not referenced in Policy 16.

2. Removal of public-comment and public-participation procedures from the body of Policy 16
The 2024 version of Policy 16 contained a detailed section on how the public engages with the Board and committees, including meeting access (in-person and virtual), translators, ADA accommodations, time limits, decorum expectations, and rules for general public comment versus item-specific comment. In the proposed revision, those sections are removed from the core policy because public participation at PCE meetings is governed by the Brown Act, not by Board-created operating rules. Keeping Brown Act language inside Board policy creates a risk that the policy will quickly become outdated when State law changes, as it often does. Public comment and meeting access procedures will instead be documented in separate attachments and online materials that can be updated by staff to remain in step with current statutory requirements, while still being clearly available to Board members and the public.

3. Removal of AB 2449 remote-attendance provisions from the policy text The 2024 version included extensive AB 2449 procedures, including “just cause,” “emergency circumstances,” disclosure requirements, and sample scripts for Board members attending remotely. These provisions have been removed from the body of Policy 16 for two reasons:

AB 2449 remote-attendance rules are state-mandated Brown Act rules and therefore do not need to be codified in Board policy.

AB 2449 sunsets on January 1, 2026, and is replaced by updated teleconferencing provisions under SB 707, which will remain operative through January 1, 2030.

Because these requirements are dictated and periodically amended by state law, it is more appropriate for them to be maintained as a staff-managed attachment or guidance document rather than as Board policy language that must be re-adopted each time legislation changes.

The updated/proposed Policy 16 retains only the high-level framework that Board and Standing Committee meetings are subject to Brown Act open-meeting and teleconferencing requirements; the detailed operational rules will be provided in separate legal guidance materials that staff will publish online.

4. 75% Attendance Expectations
The updated policy maintains the expectation that Member Jurisdictions participate 66 consistently in Board and Standing Committee meetings. Each Member Jurisdiction is expected to achieve at least 75% attendance at scheduled Board meetings on a rolling 12-month basis, and Standing Committee members are expected to meet the same threshold for their assigned committees. Attendance may be satisfied by either the primary Board Member or the designated Alternate. When a Member Jurisdiction’s participation falls below the 75% threshold, the Board Clerk will review attendance records and notify the Board Chair. The Board Chair will engage the affected Board Member to address participation expectations and, if attendance does not improve, may request that the appointing jurisdiction consider designating a replacement representative.

5. Updates to Chair/Vice Chair Elections and Standing Committee Appointments The updated policy makes targeted clarifications to the Chair and Vice Chair election process to better align the written policy with current Board practice. The revisions clarify the timing of the ad hoc nominating committee’s formation and role, specify when recommendations are brought forward for Board action, and refine language related to term limits and eligibility for extended service under extraordinary circumstances. These edits are intended to reduce ambiguity in the election timeline while preserving full Board discretion.

Revisions to Standing Committee appointments similarly focus on clarification rather than structural change. The updated language refines how slates for the Executive Committee and Audit and Finance Committee are presented to the Board, clarifies the process that applies if a proposed slate is not approved, and more clearly describes the authority to fill interim vacancies to ensure committee continuity. These updates consolidate and streamline appointment language without altering committee composition, term lengths, or the Board’s approval authority.

6. Reorganization and narrowing of policy scope
The December 2025 version is reorganized to focus strictly on:

Board officer election procedures
Standing Committee purpose, composition, appointment processes, and quorum rules
Ad Hoc Committee structure, Brown Act distinctions, and reporting expectations Staff-led subcommittee definitions

7. Former Board Member Volunteer List (Formerly Emeritus Advisory Group) The updated policy revises and clarifies the Directors Emeritus section to better reflect the purpose and limited role of former Board members following their service. The revisions simplify the description of the group, clarify that participation is informal and advisory in nature, and remove language implying ongoing committee status or regular meetings. The updated language also aligns the section with the streamlined scope of Policy 16 by emphasizing that Directors Emeritus do not set policy, do not act on behalf of the Board, and may be engaged by staff on an as-needed basis for institutional knowledge or subject-matter expertise.

8. Administrative cleanup and consolidation
Formatting, terminology, and section sequencing have been updated for clarity and consistency. Redundant, outdated, or purely descriptive provisions were removed, and cross-references were corrected so that the document is easier for Board members, staff, and the public to use.

b. Meeting Schedules, Agendas and Supporting Materials
The Board of Directors generally conducts two different kinds of meetings: regular meetings and special meetings. The PCE Joint Exercise of Powers Authority (the JPA Agreement) provides that the PCE Board of Directors holds at leastsix regularmeetings per year, butthe Board may provide for the holding of regular meetings at more frequent intervals. The date, time and place of each regular meeting shall be fixed by resolution or ordinance of the Board.

The Board also schedules periodic special meetings, which are meetings on any day or time other than the regular meeting time. The Board may call a special meeting on a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. The Board makes every effort to provide notice well in advance of 24 hours. c. Posting of Agendas
Under the Brown Act, meeting agendas must be posted no later than 72 hours prior to regular meetings and 24 hours prior to special meetings.Agendas are posted at meeting locations and on the PCE website.
d. Supporting Reports and Materials
It is Board policy to make every effort to provide supporting reports and materials at the time the agenda is posted. Materials that are not available at the time of agenda posting will be distributed as soon as feasible before the meeting. Materials that are distributed to a majority of the Board will be made available to the public atthe same time, as required by law. Some materials, such as presentation materials or “supplemental memoranda” may be distributed to Board members and the public at the meeting.
e. Attendance Procedures
The PCE Board expects its Member Jurisdictions to maintain consistent participation in Board meetings and Standing Committee meetings. Participation requirements may be satisfied by either the primary Board Member or the designated Alternate.

Each Member Jurisdiction is expected to achieve at least 75% participation in all scheduled Board meetings, measured on a rolling 12-month basis. Standing Committee members are likewise expected to achieve at least 75% participation in the meetings of the committee to which they are appointed. Alternates may attend Standing Committee meetings in place of the appointed committee member and will count toward the Member Jurisdiction’s participation. 72 3 | Page
Board members should contact their Alternates when they are unable to attend a meeting and should notify the Board Chair and the Board Clerk of any absences with as much notice as possible. If a Member Jurisdiction’s participation falls below the 75% threshold in attendance of Board meetings or Standing Committee meetings, the Board Clerk will review the attendance record and inform the Board Chair who will contact the designated Board Member to discuss expectations.

If participation does not improve following this outreach, the Board Chair will request that the appointing jurisdiction evaluate whether to designate a replacement representative. f. Employment and Contracting Restrictions for Former Board Members Board members understand that they shall not be current PCE employees nor seek and/or gain employment with PCE during their term(s) as a Board member. A former Board member shall not seek or gain employment at PCE within the twelve (12) months following the end of their Board service as marked by the Board member’s final PCE Board meeting as a Board member.

In the eventthat PCE desires to contract with a former Board member within twelve (12) months ofthe end oftheir term as a Board member such agreement,regardless of notto exceed amount, shall be approved by the majority of the Board.
g. Remote Attendance of Board Members at Board and Standing Committee Meetings Board members are strongly encouraged to attend meetings in person. State law allows Board members to attend meetings remotely by following the procedures outlined in Government Code Section 54953(b) (“Standard Remote Attendance”). For convenience, these procedures are summarized below and are current as of the date of this Policy revision. If state law is subsequently amended, the amended terms of State law will apply.

Board members are encouraged to consult in advance with the Board Clerk and General Counsel to ensure compliance with all required procedures.

3. The remote attendance technology used is open and fully accessible to all members of the public, including those with disabilities.

4. Members of the public who attend the meeting at the remote attendance location have the same opportunity to address the Board from the remote location that they would if they were present at the quorum location.

5. The remote attendance location must not require an admission fee or any payment for attendance.

The following rules are intended to clarify the distinction between Standing Committees, Ad Hoc Board Committees, and Staff-Led Subcommittees to establish operating guidelines for such committees:
a. Definition of Ad Hoc Committee
An Ad Hoc Committee of the Board is a temporary advisory committee composed of less than a quorum of Board members or any Standing Committee. The work of an Ad Hoc Committee has a limited or single purpose. An Ad Hoc committee is not intended to be perpetual but rather dissolved once its specific task is completed. By contrast, a Standing Committee has ongoing 77 8 | Page
subject matter jurisdiction over a variety of related topics. b. Definition of a Staff-Led Committee
A PCE staff-led committee is an informal group focused on a particular PCE topic or function that includeslessthan a quorumof Board or otherstanding committee members. It is a non-Brown Act committee staffed by a member of PCE’s leadership team that meets periodically and at staff’s direction. Staff shall utilize group feedback and/or vet a particular department specific topic. A staff-led committee does not set Agency or Board policy or direction. c. Creation and Appointment
TheBoard Chairorthe full Boardmay create an AdHoc Committee and appointlessthan a quorum of the Board or any Standing Committee to serve. The Chair will publicly announce any Ad Hoc Committee created, its membership, and stated purpose. In contrast, only the Board and not the Chair alone can create an ongoing Standing Committee. Staff-led subcommittees are organized and led by PCE executive and/or director-level staff.
d. Brown Act
The procedural requirements of the Brown Act apply to all committees that have either:
(a) continuing subject matter jurisdiction over a matter or group of related matters; or (b) a regular meeting schedule set by Board action. All Standing Committees are Brown Act bodies. Ad hoc committees are generally not Brown Act bodies, provided that: 1) they are temporary bodies, formed for the purpose of addressing a limited or single purpose, 2) include only members of Board, and 3) do not have a regular meeting schedule set by Boardaction.WhentheBoard creates an AdHoc committee that isnot a Brown Act body, the Board may, at its discretion, direct that the committee follow Brown Act procedures.
e. Members
AdHocCommitteesshall consist oflessthan aquorumoftheBoard, and shallnotinclude any other persons, including members of other legislative bodies. Staff-led subcommittees shall consist of less than a quorum of the Board and may include participation from outside the Board or organization as warranted.
f. Reporting
Ad Hoc Committees shall report their recommendations to the Board in the timeframe directed by the Board.
g. Termination of Ad Hoc Committee by Majority of the Board A majority of the Board may vote to terminate any Ad Hoc Committee following placement of the 78 9 | Page
issue on an agenda.

These rules are intended to enhance public participation and Board and Committee debate so that the best possible decisions can be made for PCE and its member agencies. Open government meetings must allow everyone to be heard without fear of cheers or jeers. For these reasons, the Board and Committees take these rules seriously.

Disruptive or unruly behavior in violation of the law can result in removal from the Peninsula Clean Energy meeting and/or arrest and prosecution. a. Access to Meetings

Translators - Speakers may bring a translator as needed and will be allotted additional time, as appropriate.

ADA Access - PCEA makes every reasonable effort to accommodate the needs of the disabled consistent with law. Any provision of these rules may be modified if needed to provide reasonable accommodation. Persons needing assistance should contact: the Board Clerk, at 650-414-1533 (voice) or [email protected] (email).

If found feasible by staff, members of the public may be given the opportunity to activate their personal video during their public comments. b. Summary of Rules for Public Participation
Every regular agenda has two different kinds of opportunities for the public to speak.

The first is during General Public Comment. The second is during the public comment or public hearing portion of each agenda item.

Please note that Peninsula Clean Energy meetings are a limited public forum, and all public comment must relate to something that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board. If comments do not relate to the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board, we will stop the comment and move on to the next speaker. General Counsel will assist in identifying comments that are not related to the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board.
c. General Public Comment
This part of the meeting is provided so that the public can speak to any subject that is in the PCE jurisdiction, when there is no item listed on the agenda for that topic.

State law does not permit the meeting body to act on or discuss an item raised at that meeting during General Public Comment. Board members shall not enter into debate with
91 speakers but may ask brief clarifying questions and may ask PCE staff to follow up on any concerns raised.
d. Public comment or public hearing portion of each agenda Item The Brown Act requires the opportunity for public comment on all listed agenda items, except ceremonial items, procedural items (Agenda Changes and Deletions) and brief announcements (Chair Report, CAC Report, CEO Report and Board Member Reports). Public comments or testimony must be related to the matter under consideration.
e. Time Limits
The presiding officer (usually the Chair or Vice Chair) may announce the time that each speaker may use. PCE generally allows 2 minutes per speaker, but a shorter time may be designated when there are many speakers, numerous items on the agenda, or items anticipated to be lengthy.
f. Gaining Permission to Speak
Any person who wants to make a spoken public comment on an item on the agenda can do so if they are attending either in person or virtually. Members of the public participating virtually should use the “raise hand” function in the online meeting platform, or if participating via phone, hit *9 to notify the Clerk that they wish to speak. The Clerk will provide the names of the speakers to the Chair or Vice Chair so that the speakers can be identified and organized in an orderly way when the Chair calls for public comment.
g. Public Decorum During Meetings
The presiding officer at PCE meetings (usually the Chair or Vice Chair) is authorized and required to “preserve strict order and decorum.” This is important in order to ensure a fair opportunity for everyone to participate in an open and civil setting.
i. No person, other than a Board or Committee member and the person having the floor, shall be permitted to speak without the permission of the presiding officer. ii. All remarks should be addressed to the Board or Committee as a body and not to any individual member or staff person.
iii. It is unlawful for any person to: (1) Disrupt the conduct of a meeting; (2) Make threats against any person or against public order and security while in the Board Room.

Any Board or Committee Member may appeal the presiding officer’s decision on a decorum violation to the full Board or Committee. A meeting disruption may lead to a person being removed from the meeting and/or misdemeanor charges pursuant to the California Pe. See Cal. Penal Code Sections 403 and 422. h. Record of Speakers

VOTE REQUIRED: Majority Vote
TO: Honorable Peninsula Clean Energy Authority Board of Directors FROM: Phillip Kobernick, Associate Director of Energy Programs SUBJECT: Approval of Home Upgrade Program Self-Service Offering Loan and Rebate Expenditures in an amount not to exceed $25M for Customer-Selected Contractors through June 30, 2027
Item No. 5

PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
JPA Board Correspondence

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize spending of up to $4M each for five specified customer-selected contractors and additional, future customer-selected contractors in the Home Upgrade program Self-Service offering for a total not-to-exceed amount of $25M through June 30, 2027.

BACKGROUND
In May 2020, the Board approved an Existing Building Electrification plan for existing buildings covering appliance incentives, home upgrades for low-income households and innovation pilots. The program has gone through multiple phases including the addition of incentives (begun in 2021 and expanded in late 2022), first phase of income-qualified direct install (2021), addition of the Zero Percent Loan (2022), and second phase of direct-install and turnkey (“Full-Service Installation”) services. Most recently in November 2025, the Board approved a re-configuration of Full-Service Installation services to improve service delivery which included contracts with three competitively-selected contractors (Fuse Service Inc., Super Brothers Plumbing Heating & Air, & Villquin Air Services) for a three-year total of not-to-exceed of $18 million. The Home Upgrade Services Program currently provides three primary participation options for customers described below and summarized in the below table: Self-Service, Personalized Support, and Full-Service Installation. In the “Self-Service” option, customers choose their own contractors and equipment and may receive rebates and financing assistance in the form of loans that are repaid on the customer’s bill. At the customer’s direction, these rebates and loans are often paid directly to customer-selected contractors. Contractors are selected entirely at the discretion of the customer and in many cases, PCE is not aware of which contractor was utilized for a project until after the project has completed and the customer has filed for a rebate with PCE. Contractors chosen by customers in the “Self Service” option of the program are the subject of this Board request. The current incentive program offers up to $3,500 in rebates for efficient electric heat pump water heaters and heat pump “2-way AC” HVAC systems, and up to $10,000 through the Zero Percent Finance service. Over 4,400 customers have participated to date installing over 5,000 measures.

The table below provides a high-level overview of the Home Upgrade Services Program customer offerings.

DISCUSSION
Since inception of the program over 100 total contractors have participated at various volumes. These contractors are independently selected by customers to complete installations of heat pump HVAC or heat pump water heaters. Certain contractors have specialized in these installations and have established robust business as the program has grown.

Five contractors (Fuse Service, Irbis HVAC, Nur HVAC, Techpro Builders, and Electric Air) have been utilized by a significant number of customers in the Self-Service option this fiscal year, already providing between approximately $80,000 - $215,000 each in combined rebates and/or loans provided by PCE since July 2025. The largest of these, Fuse, has completed 811 projects total, approximately 18% of the total number of projects completed in the program since its inception. Given current trends in customer utilization, PCE staff expect these contractors to likely exceed $250,000 in PCE provided rebates and/or loans this fiscal year. Per Policy 14, expenditures in excess of $250,000 require Board approval. To ensure timely payment to these customer-selected contractors and ensure flexibility for future growth in demand, staff are requesting up to $2 million in spending authority for each of these five contractors for the remainder of fiscal year 2025-26 and an additional $2 million in spending authority for fiscal year 2026-27, for a total of up to $4M in spending authority per contractor. Actual payments by PCE will be in the form of rebates and/or loans in accordance with program terms and conditions and are subject to contractor selection by customers. Loan funds are repaid by customers to PCE through on-bill financing.

This authorization is separate from the Full Service Installation contracts referenced above and previously approved by the Board, and, in the case of Fuse, authorizes additional expenditures.

By this Board'a authorization, Staff is also seeking spending authority to pay customer-selected contractors not yet known to PCE. This spending authority will allow smooth ongoing operations and timely payments to contractors throughout PCE programs in which customers are selecting contractors for their projects. Staff will return to the Board in the future for approval of additional spending authority if any contractor is approaching $4M in cumulative spending. Agreements entered into directly between PCE and PCE-selected contractors will remain unchanged and staff will seek Board approval when Agreements exceed $250,000, per PCE policy.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for these incentives is included in the Board-approved Energy Programs budget. 108

Item No. 9

PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
JPA Board Correspondence

RECOMMENDATION
No action recommended, discussion only.

BACKGROUND
Peninsula Clean Energy’s mission is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by expanding access to sustainable and affordable energy solutions. In 2018, PCE initiated customer and community programs, which were developed within three major pillars: 1) Building decarbonization, 2) Transportation decarbonization and 3) Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).

In 2025, PCE created an Innovation Strategy (IS) department with one of its goals being the diversification of PCE revenues through public funding opportunities to support and expand customer programs. One of the core objectives in support of this goal is the preparation of an application for energy efficiency (EE) funding with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The CPUC oversees and funds a variety of energy programs that are geared toward incentivizing a reduction in energy use and installing clean DERs at customer sites. EE programs are some of the longest-standing CPUC-authorized programs in the state and have historically been funded through surcharges on the distribution side of customers’ bills. This includes CCA customers.

EE programs are administered by the investor-owned utilities (IOUs), Regional Energy Networks (RENs) and community choice aggregators (CCAs). Under Public Utilities Code Section 381.1, CCAs have a statutory right to administer EE programs in California and to access public funds to do so. There are two pathways for CCAs participate: (1) the Elect-to-administer (ETA) pathway, and (2) the Apply-to-Administer (ATA) pathway. The ETA pathway is a simpler pathway for CCAs who choose to only offer a limited number of EE programs to its customers. PCE has been offering the FLEXmarket program under the ETA pathway since 2022. To grow its EE programs and further the decarbonization of existing buildings in its 112
service area, in 2024, PCE decided to pursue the ATA pathway in the next CPUC portfolio cycle. Under the ATA pathway, CCAs can offer a diverse portfolio of programs to both bundled and unbundled customers. The requested funding must be justified by the energy efficiency potential in the service area. PCE’s decision to administer EE programs does not directly impact the budget of other EE program administrators in its service area, such as BayREN or Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). Each program administrator (PA) can propose a budget independently based on the EE potential and goals set by the State.

To administer CPUC EE programs under the ATA pathway, PCE must participate in an “Application Proceeding” with the CPUC which grants EE funding to program administrators every four years. To request funding for the next EE portfolio cycle that runs from 2028 to 2031, PCE must submit the initial Testimony and Application to the CPUC by February 16, 2026. Following that submission, PCE will then participate in a public review process through the end of 2027 before launching approved programs in early 2028. The following describes the proposed portfolio of EE programs that will be included in PCE’s Application to the CPUC.

DISCUSSION
PCE is deepening its engagement in EE programming to broaden the reach of existing EE programs and accelerate the progress towards reaching California’s ambitious decarbonization goals. SB 350 (2015) required the state to double energy efficiency savings by 2030. SB 32 (2016) has the goal of reducing the State’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. AB 3232 (2018) established a specific GHG reduction goal for buildings (40% reduction by 2030). Finally, in 2022, Governor Newsom called for the deployment of 6 million heat pumps by 2030. California is making slow progress to reach these goals, and much remains to be done over the next 5 years. By broadening and deepening its EE engagement, PCE will do its part to support the State in reaching its ambitious climate goals.

To prevent duplication of effort and effectively complement existing EE programs in PCE’s service area, PCE undertook a detailed market assessment and community outreach effort in the first quarter of 2025. The goal of this market assessment was to identify the reach and impact of existing EE programs and identify gaps and needs where PCE can most effectively engage to accelerate deployment of energy efficient technologies in our service area. The outreach and market assessment found that the core challenges for residential customers are upfront costs, complex program mechanisms and related administrative burdens, unstable incentives and the need for accessible information and multilingual support. Commercial customers expressed frustration with high administrative burdens and long approval timelines and the need for more technical assistance and longer planning horizons. Stakeholders also recommended developing more EE programming that is accessible to renters.

Based on the market assessment and stakeholder feedback, PCE developed 6 overarching portfolio strategies that reflect our EE vision over the portfolio cycle:

1. Prioritize electrification and low global warming potential ( low-GWP) measures;

2. Focus on expansion into the commercial sector;

3. Maximize budget and programs for equity customers[1];

4. Offer load shaping programs that reduce peak demand;

5. Develop innovative program designs that push the boundaries while meeting CPUC requirements;
113

6. Complement existing PCE decarbonization programs.

PCE is proposing six new programs that are expected to bring cost-effective EE to customers in its service area:

1. Energy Management Coach: The Energy Management Coach program is a coaching program for sophisticated energy users that utilizes dashboards, treasure hunts and other technical assistance measures to capture low-cost EE savings and assess electrification readiness. It is geared at larger commercial, industrial and agricultural customers, as well as multi-family properties. The forecasted budget over the 4-year portfolio cycle is $7.6 million for the non-residential Energy Management Coach program and $2.66 million for the multi-family Energy Management Coach program;

2. FLEXmarket: PCE plans on continuing its existing FLEXmarket program which uses a marketplace model to achieve energy efficiency savings. Under this program, service providers drive EE project development and they get paid for savings that are measured at the customer’s meter. The forecasted budget over the 4-year portfolio cycle is $5.7 million;

3. Commercial Direct Installations: The DI program provides low- to no-cost EE measures for small and medium businesses based on on-site energy and electrification readiness assessments. The program also provides technical assistance and will connect customers to other programs for deeper retrofit and funding opportunities. The forecasted budget over the 4-year portfolio cycle is $3.42 million;

4. Integrated Demand Side Management (IDSM): The goal of the IDSM program is to integrate EE measures with other clean DERs that are located at a customer’s site.

PCE’s IDSM program will focus on integration with battery energy storage systems (BESS) which are used to shift energy use out of peak hours. The forecasted budget over the 4-year portfolio cycle is $3.8 million.

5. Renters Marketplace: The Renters Marketplace is an online shop hosted on PCE’s website that allows residents and small businesses to buy clean energy equipment at a discount or for free. Equipment available on the Marketplace is geared towards renters, e.g., portable equipment that doesn’t require landlord approval for installation such as smart thermostats, lighting controls, portable heat pump HVAC or water saving measures. The online shop will be paired with a Concierge service where customers can get product recommendations and technical assistance. The forecasted budget over the 4-year portfolio cycle is $4.94 million;

6. Residential Direct Installations: The residential DI program provides low- to no-cost EE measures for hard-to-reach and underserved residential customers. The program will complement PCE’s other decarbonization programs geared at equity customers such as the Home Upgrade Services (HUS) direct install program. The forecasted budget over the 4-year portfolio cycle is $3 million.

7. Refrigerant Contractor Training: The program offers free instruction, training and guidance for small and independent HVAC contractors to learn about safe refrigerant recovery and recycling and to promote the use of low-GWP refrigerants. The forecasted budget over the 4-year portfolio cycle is $2 million.

In summary, PCE is proposing a budget of $36.3 million for the 2028 – 2031 EE portfolio cycle, the application for which will be submitted in February 2026.[2] Staff will report back to the Board later in 2026 on the status of the application and any funding awards that result from it.
114
[1] Equity customers are defined broadly as those who are hard-to-reach or have been underserved by existing programs based on a variety of geographic, economic and socio-demographic criteria [2] In addition to the program budgets outlined above, the total budget also includes additional portfolio support and evaluation, measurement and verification (EM&V) costs.

FISCAL IMPACT
All costs associated with administering the CPUC EE programs are covered by all PG&E ratepayers via surcharges on the delivery side of the utility bill. Hence, there is no negative fiscal impact on PCE and its customers by offering the programs. Conversely, PCE stands to take in over $36 million in public funding to grow its energy efficiency and decarbonization programs.

TO: Honorable Peninsula Clean Energy Authority Board of Directors FROM: Gwendolyn Rose, Director of Marketing & Community Relations SUBJECT: Planning Discussion for Agency's 10-Year Anniversary (Discussion) Item No. 10

PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
JPA Board Correspondence

RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and provide input on ideas for celebrating the agency’s 10-year anniversary and introducing its next chapter to the community.

BACKGROUND
As Peninsula Clean Energy enters its 10th anniversary year, we have an opportunity to reflect on the agency’s accomplishments and imagine it's next decade of impact. The rebranding effort and forthcoming anniversary celebration together represent a new chapter for PCE — one that builds on our trusted foundation while deepening our connection to customers and communities. During the September staff retreat, employees participated in a collaborative exercise exploring ways to bring this next chapter to life—through stories, community engagement, and a renewed sense of purpose. We will build on that work by engaging the Board in a brief creative activity focused on the vision and spirit of PCE’s future brand and community presence. The discussion will focus on how we tell the agency's next chapter of its story—what actions, experiences, and messages will best embody all that we have accomplished and where we are headed in our future decades.

DISCUSSION
Building on the staff retreat exercise earlier this fall, this session will give Board members a chance to envision how the agency's next chapter can come to life — through the ways we show up in the community, how we tell our story, and celebrate our 10-year milestone. The conversation is designed to surface creative ideas and perspectives that will help shape how we introduce the refreshed brand and deepen public engagement starting in 2026.

Input will be collected in real time through Mentimeter, an online tool that allows participants to submit anonymous responses displayed on screen. Notes and the meeting recording may also be referenced afterward to capture additional qualitative insights from the discussion.

Prompts for discussion:

1. Let’s imagine it’s 2026…If a community member wrote a headline about PCE in 2026, 116
what adjectives would it include?

2. Let’s imagine it’s 2026…What’s are some ways PCE could celebrate its 10-year milestone that truly brings people together?

3. When customers think of us five years from now, what do we want them to feel? Staff will synthesize the responses after the retreat to identify common themes. These insights will help inform the planning for the agency's brand rollout, community partnerships, and anniversary initiatives in early 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
The scope and costs various events, community activities, or campaigns that emerge from this planning will depend on the final rollout and anniversary strategy. Staff will return to the Board with a proposed plan and budget for consideration in January 2026.

RECOMMENDATION
Informational report covering FY26 Q2 activities for the Account Service team

BACKGROUND
The purpose of the Account Services team is to provide customer billing support through direct customer interaction, as well as oversee the various processes related to the management of PCE’s customer data. This includes relationships with our back-office data manager, Calpine Energy Solutions, and PG&E..

DISCUSSION
The following is a quarterly update from the Account Services team for the first quarter of FY26.

Chatbot Tool
In November, Account Services introduced a new AI Chatbot tool on our website. This tool was built to answer our most frequently asked questions we receive from customers. This launch bolsters our existing customer service offerings and provides a new and anonymous space for customers to ask their PCE-related questions, even during non-business hours.

Customer Opt-outs Trending Down (Update)
Over the course of the year staff have been tracking a trend of lower customer opt outs that is heading toward a four year low. Total opt outs from January through June (306) were the lowest total for the first six months of any year since PCE's launch, and through the end of August we're on pace for our lowest annual opt out total since 2021. Los Banos is also on track to have its lowest annual number of opt outs, with each month of 2025 setting a new record monthly low. This substantial shift can be attributed to the formation of our in-house contact center team last October, whose attention to detail has greatly elevated our customer experience and retention. We look forward to reporting the success of our in-house contact centers first year of operations in future reports.

Enrollment Statistics
Peninsula Clean Energy's participation rate is currently 97.5% 120
Customer Savings
Beginning in February 2025, Peninsula Clean Energy's lower rates provided electric generation cost savings of 10% compared to PG&E default generation service. Customers with a Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) vintage of 2021 or 2022, which includes most of Los Banos customers, have enjoyed savings of 23%-25% in electric generation costs due to negative PCIA rates for those vintages. To date, customers have saved at least $210M on the generation portion of their bills. The typical residential customer is saving about $72 a year on their bills due to being our customer.

Collection Efforts
Since our last quarterly update pre-collections efforts have netted over $14,000, which brings the overall total to just over $45,000 collected since we began the campaign in July of 2024.

Our collections push with Optio Solutions from terminated accounts has also been successful in 2025, resulting in over $35,000 collected year to date. The latter half of the year was particularly substantial with $23,000 collected since our last quarterly update. This brings us to $80,000 collected overall since the start of 2024 and staff look to continue the momentum for collection efforts in 2026. The final batch of 2025 collection communications were sent out in early December and will resume in January 2026 following the holiday season. As a reminder, CARE and FERA customers remain in the pre-collections process and are not pursued for collection by Optio Solutions.

Budget Billing Program
New for 2026, the budget billing program will be a new offering to PCE customers, though it's not a new program entirely. The program has been available to PG&E customers but recent changes to the program's structure have allowed for CCA participation. This gives PCE customers the option to stabilize their monthly electricity bills and prevent the spikes that can occur during summer months. In essence, the budget billing program averages a customer's energy costs from the previous year to determine their new monthly payment amount. Each month, PCE & PG&E recalculate their payment using a rolling average of their energy costs from the past 12 months. This program does not reduce customer bills and is not a way for customers to save money, it simply offers a way for customers at risk of high summer bills to spread the costs of those spikes throughout the year. Staff are currently working with Calpine to build out the billing processes and are working internally to refine customer content.

The program is expected to begin in February 2026 with the enrollment of PCE customers that are already enrolled in PG&E's budget billing program.

Contact Center Updates
As we close in on our first full year of in-house operations, the contact center has not only met expectations, but it has also exceeded them. The team continues to deliver measurable improvements in customer service, operational efficiency, and overall customer satisfaction.

Since opening on December 10, 2024, through November 2025, our team has answered 121
5,679 calls and responded to over 5,000 emails. Bringing the contact center in-house has made a clear and measurable impact. We have reduced overall talk time while increasing the level of information and support customers receive. Our team is averaging 6 minutes and 20 seconds per call, outperforming Calpine's average talk time of 8 minutes and 22 seconds.

In addition, we have made significant progress in customer retention. From December 2024 through November 2025, our contact center representatives processed 194 opt-outs. This is a significant improvement compared to the 432 opt-outs handled by Calpine during the same period the previous year. Our Customer Success Advisors (CSAs) take the time to understand customer concerns, explain who Peninsula Clean Energy is, and highlight the benefits of staying enrolled often, turning a potential opt out into a positive and informed experience.

Earlier this year, the team was trained by Programs to become in-house Electric Vehicle Advisors, further expanding the support we provide. The CSAs offer clear, easy to understand guidance via phone and email, staying current on both PCE and federal EV rebates. To date, they have handled 147 EV-related calls, helping customers confidently navigate rebate options and next steps.

At the end of October, the CSAs officially took over processing E-Bike applications. Since transitioning this responsibility in-house, they have processed over 550 applications, marking a major achievement and further demonstrating the team's efficiency and adaptability.

Contact Center Stats for December 2024-November 2025
Arrearage Management Program (AMP) Outreach
In October, we completed our final round of outreach for the Arrearage Management Program (AMP). AMP is a bill assistance program administered by PG&E in which CARE/FERA customers who owe more than $500 on their PG&E bill can have a portion of their debt forgiven. Our October outreach via email and direct mail resulted in 19.6% of notified customers enrolling in the AMP program. Year-to-date, we have had 662 notified customers enroll in the program following our outreach to them.

Export Credit for Regenerative Braking
The new provisions to the Green Transit Tariff approved by the PCE Board of Directors are now in effect (as of October 1), making available compensation for regenerative braking from 122
trains.

This new provision represents a meaningful step forward for clean mobility on the Peninsula.

By supporting Caltrain's transition from diesel to electric service and ensuring fair treatment of regenerative braking exports, the tariff helps reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, lowers overall system costs, and strengthens long-term investment in sustainable public transportation for the community.

ECO100 Notices - Lower Rates Coming January 1st
In November, approximately 6,200 customers received both physical and electronic notices about the upcoming ECO100 rate change. Approved by the Board in September, the ECO100 rate will decrease by $0.005/kWh beginning January 1, 2026, from $0.015/kWh to $0.01/kWh.

The average residential ECO100 customer will save about $1.50 per month, and corporate customers have expressed appreciation for the anticipated bill relief.

SUBJECT: Data and Technology Department Quarterly Report Item No. 14

PENINSULA CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
JPA Board Correspondence

BACKGROUND
Data and Technology at Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) is made up of two teams, each playing a crucial role in the organization’s operations. The Data team is responsible for managing large volumes of data from various sources, such as customer load usage and energy market data, and ensuring accuracy and accessibility for analysis, reporting, and decision-making. The IT team oversees the management of PCE's software and hardware systems and ensures the smooth operation of PCE's technology infrastructure and platforms.

DISCUSSION
This report provides a high-level overview of the Data and IT team accomplishments from the past quarter, reflecting PCE’s continued commitment to enhancing data management, strengthening technological infrastructure, and improving operational efficiency.

In the final quarter of the calendar year, both the Data and IT teams focused on strengthening the systems that staff rely on every day, improving data pipelines, simplifying processes, and preparing the organization for 2026. Much of this quarter’s work centered on modernizing tools, enhancing reliability, and building clearer documentation and workflows so teams across PCE can work more efficiently.

DATA TEAM HIGHLIGHTS
The team updated and cleaned up several major data flows from PG&E and Calpine so that staff have more accurate and dependable information to work with. They modernized older dataset tables and retired outdated versions, helping ensure reports and dashboards pull from the most reliable data going forward. This quarter also saw a reduction in data transfers and required data cleanup.

The team enhanced dashboards like the Load Usage Tool and supported multiple departments with additional data pushes and pulls for planning and analysis. They also developed and tested automation to help read and compare energy bills more consistently, 126
laying the groundwork for faster and more accurate bill analysis. Early design work began on revamped dashboard tools, focused on improving clarity, accuracy, and long-term maintainability.

IT TEAM HIGHLIGHTS
The IT team completed deep maintenance across devices and core equipment so meetings, laptops, and connectivity remain reliable for staff. A major software audit was launched across all departments to understand what tools staff use, reduce duplications, and prepare for clearer software lifecycle management going into next year.

IT also strengthened security practices by upgrading our current feature set and looking into advanced security solutions. The team also focused on future planning, exploring new systems and performing hands-on testing to prepare for several major initiatives that will touch multiple departments next year. This forward-looking work strengthens our ability to support the organization as priorities evolve.

END OF YEAR REFLECTION
Across Q4, the Data and IT teams focused on practical, high-impact improvements that make everyday work smoother for staff and ensure our foundational systems remain strong. The year closed with cleaner data pipelines, safer systems, better documentation, and more reliable tools. With these improvements in place, PCE is better prepared for new initiatives, expanded analytics, and continued enhancements in 2026. 127

BACKGROUND
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) Forecast
The Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) forecast proceeding is the annual case where PG&E seeks approval for adjustments to its generation and Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) rates. Both rates have material impacts on Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) rate setting processes. This proceeding started in May and aims to be concluded by December 31
st
. The proceeding remains on schedule with a Proposed Decision issued by the Commission on November 21, 2025. It is slated for an approval vote via consent during the Commission’s final voting meeting on December 18, 2025.

Parties, including PCE under CalCCA's mantle, continue to debate key aspects of the case, including how the market value of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and Resource Adequacy (RA) provided by the PCIA resource portfolios should be defined. Depending upon how these values are defined, there could be significant implications for PCE’s own revenue margins.

Present outlook for 2026 rates would lead to significant reductions in PCE’s potential revenue margins. A precise rate outlook will be provided to the Board once this ERRA case resolves and PG&E submits their supplemental Annual Electric True-Up (AET) advice letter on December 31, 2025.

Integrated Resource Planning (IRP)
The CPUC has issued a ruling seeking comment on proposals to order interim procurement for the years 2029-2032 of 1,500 MW system-wide per year to cover the period before the Renewable Clean Power Procurement Program (RCPPP) is implemented. Since independent analyses support this approximate need, this additional procurement order appears likely, despite potential negative impacts on the wider market. In the same ruling, the CPUC requested feedback on a transmission planning portfolio that would drive substantial new resource build because of potential large load expansion due to AI datacenter load growth. 130
The CPUC also studied a portfolio representing limited availability of wind resources both in-state and out-of-state. However, should the large load fail to materialize, the procurement and transmission needs would be substantially overstated by this approach.

PCE continues to advocate with Sonoma Clean Power (SCP) for a more flexible methodology for developing portfolios and transmission plans that are more robust to uncertainties, such as the future of wind or large load expansion. PCE also recommended that the CPUC study a “High Distributed Energy Resource” scenario in which greatly expanded DER deployment could reduce the need for both resource procurement and transmission spending, if only to assess what savings might be possible.

Resource Adequacy (RA)
The CPUC has issued a new Order Instituting Rulemaking on Resource Adequacy (RA) scoping consideration of Unforced Capacity (UCAP) methodologies for thermal and storage, PCE’s Load Obligation Trading proposal for Slice of Day implementation, and Long Duration Energy Storage accreditation methodologies, along with the routine evaluation of Planning Reserve Margins and Flex and Local requirements.

Cap-and-Invest Voluntary Renewable Energy (VRE) Program PCE led a multi-CCA effort to advocate with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for the renewal and expansion of CARB’s Voluntary Renewable Energy (VRE) Program. Under this program, Load Serving Entities that retire more Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) than required under the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) can apply for free carbon allowances, proportionate to this “above and beyond” procurement. Carbon allowances are the accounting mechanism used by the Cap-and-Invest program to track statewide progress towards declining carbon emissions targets.

Without this program, the efforts of PCE and other LSEs to reduce electricity sector emissions may not reduce overall emissions once California’s carbon cap becomes binding (expected to occur sometime in the next five to ten years). Once the cap is lower than total statewide emissions, not retiring these allowances could mean that reductions in PCE’s own emissions would only free up allowances for other polluting industries to use to avoid their own decarbonization efforts.

The VRE Program was operational from 2010 through 2023, when the allocated pool of allowances was exhausted. Reauthorizing the VRE Program would allow PCE to pursue a rigorous approach of ensuring renewable energy procurement will reduce overall emissions in future years.

In a recent joint comment letter, PCE—on behalf of a coalition of ten CCAs representing roughly 18% of California’s retail electricity load—urged CARB to take two key actions

1. Reinstate the VRE Program with an initial allocation of 5.5 million allowances into the VRE Reserve.

2. Establish an automatic refill mechanism so that whenever the VRE Reserve is forecast to be depleted, CARB allocates additional allowances to ensure continuity of the program and long-term climate integrity.

Overall, renewing and stabilizing the VRE Program is strategically important for PCE’s ability 131
to demonstrate verifiable emissions reductions, maintain eligibility for voluntary certifications such as Green-e, and ensure that our customers’ investments in renewable energy continue to have real statewide climate impact.

California Independent System Operator (CAISO)
The CAISO continues to implement stakeholder processes that are likely to have critical impacts on PCE’s operations, particularly relating to our procurement objectives. Timely updates from these processes include:

1. Resource Adequacy (“RA”) Modeling and Program Design: This stakeholder process has further developed proposals for default rules for the CAISO RA program.

Several key topics are scoped to be taken up in coming months, including substitution, Unforced Capacity (UCAP) and potential new Maximum Import Capability (MIC) enhancements. PCE is leading a working group of 16 Load Serving Entities, developers, and the CPUC to develop robust proposals for MIC enhancements in this stakeholder process.

California Community Power
901 H St, Ste 120 PMB 157, Sacramento, CA 95814 | cacommunitypower.org A Joint Powers Agency whose members are:

Ava Community Energy | Central Coast Community Energy | CleanPowerSF | Peninsula Clean Energy | Redwood Coast Energy Authority | San José Clean Energy | Silicon Valley Clean Energy | Sonoma Clean Power | Valley Clean Energy
TO: Board of Directors and Alternates DATE: 12/1/25
FROM: Alex Morris – General Manager
SUBJECT: Report on Regular Board of Directors Meeting – November 19, 2025 The California Community Power (CC Power) Board of Directors held a meeting on November 19, 2025, via Zoom. Details on the Board packet, presentation materials, and public comment letters can be found under the Meetings tab at the CC Power website: Meetings and Agendas – ca community power
Highlights of the meeting included the following:
• Matters subsequent to posting the Agenda. None.
• Public Comment.
▪ CCA Workforce & Environmental Justice Alliance
• Consent Agenda - The Board approved the following items:
o Minutes of the Regular Board Meeting held on August 20, 2025 o Minutes of the In Person Strategic Planning Session held on October 21, 2025 o 2024-2025 Year-End Financials (unaudited)
• Regular Agenda Items:
o Strategic Plan Refresh – Draft Strategic Priorities (Discussion Item): The Board reviewed and discussed strategic priorities. Based on Board discussion, these priorities will be updated and may be adopted by the Board. Following any adoption of new strategic priorities, the strategic plan will be updated to reflect the updated priorities. The draft strategic priorities include:
▪ Successfully administer existing power contracts
▪ Procure and manage contracts for specific cases of wholesale power resources;
▪ Assess and procure emerging, higher risk, and unusual technologies or projects; and
▪ Lead member-CCA power asset ownership efforts.

Discussion focused on the scope of each priority.
o Resolution 25-11-01 – Authorization for Purchase of Price Forecast and Valuation Tool for 2025-2026 CC Power Solicitation(s) (Voting Item) – the Board unanimously authorized a purchase of data and software for use in the CC Power solicitation for clean energy projects, in an amount not-to-exceed $150,000.

The adopted 2025-2026 budget included funds for these purposes. All members are 134
2 participating in the currently open CC Power solicitation, with bids due from developers on December 5, 2025. Bid-evaluation and short-listing efforts will use the price forecast data and valuation software in order to identify optimal project opportunities for members.
o Resolution 25-11-02 –Non-project Working Capital Policy (Voting Item) – the Board unanimously adopted a policy to define and cap the amount of working capital that CC Power should hold for General and Administrative or other “non-project” functions. The policy establishes a target for working capital that ensures CC Power’s administrative operations can occur during foreseeable business conditions. The policy does not consider the working capital needs for power projects because such projects have their own contractually based working capital or funding requirements and so are excluded from the policy. Based on the adopted policy, CC Power is on pace to achieve its working capital needs in the coming year(s) and is directed to accrue working capital prudently to reduce cost-impacts to members.
o Update on Geothermal Strategic Origination Phase 2 (Discussion Item): The Board was briefed on progress to date to secure additional geothermal project offtake opportunities. This effort began in Q2 2025 due to high member interest in geothermal projects coupled with the low number of geothermal projects being offered into competitive solicitations. “Phase 2” refers to the phase of CC Power’s process in which CC Power, on behalf of members, identifies and negotiates for viable opportunities for power procurement. This Phase 2 seeks to yield right-of-first refusals (ROFRs) or exclusivity opportunities on several geothermal projects, with a focus on projects and technologies that may be viable in California. The maturity of various geothermal technologies being considered and the timelines for development may require collaborative approaches that position members to access opportunities at reasonable costs. The Board provided feedback on the contractual methods being developed to establish these opportunities. o General Manager Report:
▪ The Tumbleweed Energy Storage contract is scheduled to start June 1, 2026.

A ribbon-cutting will be scheduled. This project will be one of the first 8- hour lithium-ion batteries operating in California.
▪ CC Power is posting to its website a final report regarding the cost savings available to members through ‘load-obligation trading’ amongst members’ portfolios for the purpose of Resource Adequacy (RA) compliance. The report uses actual portfolio information and shows that material cost-savings could be available to ratepayers if the CPUC changes some rules in Resource Adequacy.
▪ Project Account balance Statements (PABS) were issued to members to show spending over the 2024-2025 fiscal year period as well as revenues held in project accounts. For 2025-2026, invoices will be issued for specific project accounts based on contract agreements and the amount of ‘carryover’ funds left from 2024-2025.
▪ CC Power signed a contract for transmission and education services to support members.

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:
https://www.pge.com/assets/pge/docs/account/alternate-energy-providers/pce-sm_rateclasscomparison.pdf Why was I automatically enrolled?
Your city or county voted to join PCE to bring cleaner, affordable energy to your community.

Can I opt out of PCE?
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. 138 DATE: December 12, 2025
