Lucas Utouh, Director of Data Analytics and Account Services 18 Item 10
Update on Regulatory and Legislative Affairs
SDG&E’s 6/1/2022 Rate Adjustment
Background
• On June 1, 2022, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) implemented a rate change that resulted in a lowering of its generation rates by approximately 4% via Consolidated Tier 1 Advice Letter (AL) 4004-E.
• Tier 1 Advice Letter: Appropriate for ministerial actions. Effective pending disposition. • SDCP and CEA filed a protest to SDG&E’s AL 4004-E with the CPUC:
o Sales forecast figure used for revenue requirement is old and should be updated. o Advice letter should not be designated Tier 1, but rather Tier 2. o Adoption of advice letter will lead to SDG&E under-collection. • CPUC’s Energy Division has reviewed SDG&E AL 4004-E and will deny the protest. • SDG&E rates went into effect on June 1, 2022.
19 Item 10
Update on Regulatory and Legislative Affairs
SDG&E’s 6/1/2022 Rate Adjustment
SDG&E Rate Trends
• SDG&E ERRA Trigger Notice: SDG&E is under-collected by $46 million. • SDG&E 2023 ERRA Application: Average monthly bill increase of 3.22%. • SDG&E General Rate Case Application: Average monthly bill increase of 5.6%. • Legislature requested an audit of SDG&E’s rates: Anticipated in 12 months. 20 Item 10
Update on Regulatory and Legislative Affairs
SDG&E’s 6/1/2022 Rate Adjustment
What Does All This Mean For SDCP Customers?
• As of 6/1/22, SDG&E’s base level service that is 31% renewable has been about 1% less expensive than SDCP’s base level service PowerOn which is 50% renewable. • While SDCP rates are still “competitive” with SDG&E, we believe SDG&E’s temporary rate reduction could drive customers to opt-out of SDCP in the near term and be locked in SDG&E’s bundled service for a minimum period of 12 months when the subsequent rate increases by SDG&E take effect. 21 Item 10
Update on Regulatory and Legislative Affairs
SDG&E’s 6/1/2022 Rate Adjustment
What Does All This Mean For SDCP Customers?
• SDG&E and SDCP must publish and disseminate a Joint Rate Mailer (JRM) which offers a side by side comparison. In 2022, this JRM is required to be sent to all SDCP customers by 9/1/22. 22 Item 10
Update on Regulatory and Legislative Affairs
Recommendation:
Receive and file the update on regulatory and legislative affairs.
23 Item 11
SDCP Election Regarding Voluntary Allocation of
Renewable Energy from SDG&E
Recommendation:
Approve staff’s recommended long-term and short-term elections for voluntary allocation of renewable energy from SDG&E and authorize the CEO to i) notify SDGE of SDCP’s long-term and short-term voluntary allocation elections, and ii) execute, as appropriate, SDG&E’s pro-forma contracts associated with long-term and short-term transactions for renewable energy and RECs in substantially similar form as approved to form by legal counsel.
Presenter:
Byron Vosburg, Managing Director Power Services
24 Item 11
SDCP Election Regarding Voluntary Allocation of
Renewable Energy from SDG&E
Background:
• In 2021, the CPUC ordered the IOUs to offer PCIA-paying LSEs voluntary allocations (VA) of PCIA-eligible renewable resources, and then sell any unallocated resources through a recurring market offer (MO) process
• VA elections can be made to receive long-term (10+ years) and/or short-term (<10 years) allocations
• SDCP and SDG&E foresaw this process and incorporated VA mechanism into the long-term renewable contract approved by SDCP Board in August 2021 and executed in December 2021
• SDCP can now make its election to set purchase volumes under that long-term contract and, if desired, elect an additional short-term allocation 25 Item 11
SDCP Election Regarding Voluntary Allocation of
Renewable Energy from SDG&E
Considerations:
• The primary value of any allocated volumes to SDCP is to satisfy regulatory compliance obligations.
• SB350 requires all LSEs to buy at least 65% of their RPS requirements from long-term contracts
• 65% of ~40% of all energy over 2021-2024 (CP4)
• SDCP will need significant long-term allocation from SDG&E to meet long-term obligations
• RPS shortfalls result in $50/MWh penalty
26 Item 11
SDCP Election Regarding Voluntary Allocation of
Renewable Energy from SDG&E
Considerations (cont.):
• SDCP’s compliance with long-term contracting requirements of SB350 is subject to the following uncertainty:
• Long-term contracting requirements, which are based on total retail sales, which staff have forecast through 2024 but depend on customer participation rates across all enrolled communities • Potential delays in development of renewable energy resources currently under contract • Voluntary Allocations are a “slice” of an IOU’s entire PCIA-eligible RPS portfolio • SDCP does not have discretion over resource mix, portfolio management, or administration of SDG&E’s contracts • SDG&E’s PCIA RPS portfolio includes ~18% out-of-state, unbundled renewable energy (~12% of long-term portfolio, ~37% of short-term portfolio)
• SDG&E’s unbundled resources predate RPS product content categories (PCC), treated as “legacy”/“PCC0” for RPS compliance, are assigned zero emissions for purposes of Power Source Disclosure and Power Content Label, but appear on Power Content Label as “unbundled”
27 Item 11
SDCP Election Regarding Voluntary Allocation of
Renewable Energy from SDG&E
Recommended Voluntary Allocation Elections:
• Long-term: 100%
• Short-term: 0%
28 Item 11
SDCP Election Regarding Voluntary Allocation of
Renewable Energy from SDG&E
Recommended Voluntary Allocation Election:
• Long-term: 100%
• ~2,900 GWh/year, starting in 2023, declining over time to zero in 2043 • For reference, at full enrollment, SDCP retail sales will total ~8,400 GWh/year • ~88% CAISO-interconnected, solar and wind; ~12% unbundled, Montana wind • Ensures compliance with CP4 (2021-2024) long-term contracting requirements • Provides foundation of renewable energy (~34%) on top of which SDCP can build toward 85% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% by 2035
• Preserves open positions in portfolio to enable SDCP to pursue recently adopted program goals regarding development of incremental renewable energy facilities and local, distributed renewable energy programs
29 Item 11
SDCP Election Regarding Voluntary Allocation of
Renewable Energy from SDG&E
Recommended Voluntary Allocation Election:
• Short-term: 0%
• ~37% unbundled RECs, which cannot be selected independently from bundled renewable energy • 12 generation facilities:
• 10 CA sited, 2 Montana
• 9 Wind, 3 Biogas
• Staff recommend that SDCP forgo election of any short-term allocation from SDG&E and instead focus near-term procurement efforts on bundled renewable energy 30 Item 11
SDCP Election Regarding Voluntary Allocation of
Renewable Energy from SDG&E
Recommendation:
Approve staff’s recommended long-term and short-term elections for voluntary allocation of renewable energy from SDG&E and authorize the CEO to i) notify SDGE of SDCP’s long-term and short-term voluntary allocation elections, and ii) execute, as appropriate, SDG&E’s pro-forma contracts associated with long-term and short-term transactions for renewable energy and RECs in substantially similar form as approved to form by legal counsel.
