Budget Process Overview
6 • Bottoms-up, cross-departmental budgeting process incorporating DEAI principles • Department-specific budgets to increase accountability and transparency • Presented draft budget to the Audit & Finance Committee on May 11 o Committee was supportive and suggested no changes
o Since the A&FC meeting, net costs decreased slightly (~$4 million) due to updated cost of energy forecast
• PCE rates will be set to ensure sufficient revenues to support PCE operations (cost-of-service rate making)
• Final budget to be presented to Board of Directors for approval on June 25, 2026 Cost of Energy
7 (1) 9 months actual, 3 months updated forecast
(2) Includes Net Energy Metering and forecasting/scheduling costs • Cost of Energy is forecast to remain
flat in FY27 following an 18%
decrease in FY26
• Budget based on forward price
curves, which are lower than prior
forecast (“good” for cost of energy,
“bad” for PCIA)
• ~2% load growth
• Lower energy prices offset by
increasing storage resources
(capacity)
• Net seller of RECs as PPAs come on-line

FY27 (~7% of energy costs)

Analysis & Rates
System Average Net Parity Rate with PG&E
13 • Updated PCIA forecast creates
potential rate-comparison
challenges relative to PG&E
over the next two years
• 1 cent = ~$35 million
• As a result, need to revisit
current 10% rate discount to
ensure sufficient revenues to
support operations

Summary Financials (excluding Rate Stabilization)
19 (1) 9 months actual, 3 months forecast
(2) Assumes 5% discount until February 2027 and 1% thereafter • Given forecasted PCIA rates, PG&E rates, and PCE costs, Staff recommends setting PCE rates at a 5% discount in July 2026 and using the Rate Stabilization Fund to help lower and stabilize rates • Balances customer affordability and PCE financial stability Rate Stabilization Fund
20 • Board approved establishment of a Rate Stabilization Fund (RSF) in May 2024 o Defer revenues in years when financial results are strong to be used in future years to help “stabilize” / supplement rates
o Consider deferral of revenues when Change in Net Position greater than 3% of revenues
o Deposits can be made into the RSF until the balance equals 15% of revenues • PCE deferred $68 million of revenues in FY24, representing 15% of revenues • Board temporarily waived RSF limit last year and deferred additional $60 million in FY25 • Most peers have a RSF ranging from 9% to 52% of revenues • Given forecasted Change in Net Position of ~$20 million (6% of revenues), Staff recommends continuation of the waiver in FY26, which will allow us to defer additional revenues to be used in future periods
• As a reminder, a RSF and the deferral of revenues has no impact on cash ($ in millions) FY25 FY26(1) FY27 FY28 FY29 FY30 FY31

Recommendation
21 (1) 9 months actual, 3 months forecast
(2) Assumes 5% discount until February 2027 and 1% thereafter (3) Assumes $20 million addition to Rate Stabilization Fund in FY26, pending final financial results Recommend that the Board set PCE rates at a 5% net discount to PG&E • Generates sufficient revenues, in combination with utilization of the Rate Stabilization Fund, to support PCE operations
• Staff will return to the Board in January with an updated financial forecast, known PCIA rates, and recommendation for PCE rates in 2027.
