Staff Report – Item 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: San Diego Community Power Board of Directors
From: Eric W. Washington, Chief Financial Officer
Via: Karin Burns, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Review of Treasurer’s Report for Period Ending 11/30/23 Date: January 18, 2024
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and File Treasurer’s Report for Period Ending 11/30/23.
BACKGROUND
San Diego Community Power (SDCP) maintains its accounting records on a full accrual basis in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as applicable to governmental enterprise funds.
SDCP has prepared its year-to-date financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2023, along with budgetary comparisons.
SDCP additionally reports monthly metrics during its Board meetings as part of its Update on Back-Office Operations. As part of the Treasurer’s Report, certain key metrics related to risk are to be presented during Financial and Risk Management Committee (FRMC) meetings.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Actual financial results for the period ended 11/30/23: $734.85 million in net operating revenues were reported compared to $767.74 million budgeted for the period. $533.87 million in total expenses were reported (including $521.34 million in energy costs) compared to $464.47 million budgeted for the period (including $441.07 million budgeted for energy costs). After expenses, SDCP’s change in net position of $200.98 million was reported for Fiscal Year 2023-24. The following is a summary of the actual results compared to the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget.
Table 1: Budget Comparison Versus Actual Results
• Net operating revenues finished $32.90 million (or 4.3 percentage points) under the budget primarily due to lower-than-expected customer load corelated with cooler weather.
• Operating expenses finished $69.39 million (or 14.9 percentage points) over the budget primarily due to higher-than-expected energy costs related primarily to resource adequacy and renewables.
Financial results for the period underperformed the projections presented in the year-to-date proforma. SDCP’s change in net position was 34% under the projection primarily due to actual energy costs being higher than projected and lower customer load contributing to lower-than-expected revenue.
The following is a summary-to-actual results compared to the fiscal year-to-date proforma.

For the period ending 11/30/23, SDCP contributed $200,980,340 to its reserves but was expected to gain $303,269,904 per the FY 2023-24 adopted budget. Total SDCP reserves at the end of the period were $406,281,413 and total available liquidity (including lines of credit) was $519,281,413. SDCP has a total FY 2023-24 year-end cash reserve target of $491,079,452, which is equivalent to 180-days of total operating expenses as set in SDCP’s Reserve Policy and Strategic Goals.
SDCP’s financial statements for November included an adjustment to the recorded estimated revenue and accrued revenue asset line items. As a result a $29.20 million downward adjustment to net position was also made. Prior periods were not impacted by the November adjustments.

Management
San Diego Community Power
Management is responsible for the accompanying financial statements of San Diego Community Power (a California Joint Powers Authority) which comprise the statement of net position as of November 30, 2023, and the related statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position, and the statement of cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have performed a compilation engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the AICPA. We did not audit or review the accompanying statements nor were we required to perform any procedures to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by management. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion, conclusion, nor provide any assurance on these financial statements.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in these interim financial statements. San Diego Community Power’s annual audited financial statements include the note disclosures omitted from these interim statements. If the omitted disclosures were included in these financial statements, they might influence the user’s conclusions about the Authority’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Accordingly, these financial statements are not designed for those who are not informed about such matters.
We are not independent with respect to the Authority because we performed certain accounting services that impaired our independence.

Board of Directors
San Diego Community Power
Management is responsible for the accompanying special purpose operating fund budgetary comparison schedule of San Diego Community Power (SDCP), a California Joint Powers Authority, for the period ended November 30, 2023, and for determining that the budgetary basis of accounting is an acceptable financial reporting framework. We have performed a compilation engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the AICPA. We did not audit or review the accompanying statement nor were we required to perform any procedures to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by management. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion, a conclusion, nor provide any assurance on this special purpose budgetary comparison statement.
The special purpose statement is prepared in accordance with the budgetary basis of accounting, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This report is intended for the information of the Board of Directors of SDCP.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in these interim financial statements.
SDCP’s annual audited financial statements will include the note disclosures omitted from these interim statements. If the omitted disclosures were included in these financial statements, they might influence the user’s conclusions about the Authority’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Accordingly, these financial statements are not designed for those who are not informed about such matters.
We are not independent with respect to SDCP because we performed certain accounting services that impaired our independence.

Staff Report – Item 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: San Diego Community Power Board of Directors
From: Colin Santulli, Director of Programs
Via: Jack Clark, Chief Operating Officer
Subject: Update on Programs
Date: January 18, 2024
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATIONS
Receive and file update on customer energy programs.
BACKGROUND
Staff will provide regular updates to the Board of Directors (“Board”) regarding the following SDCP customer energy programs: Building Electrification, Energy Education, Energy Efficiency, Flexible Load, Grant Programs, and Solar and Energy Storage.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Updates on customer energy programs are detailed below.
Building Electrification
California Energy Commission (“CEC”) Equitable Building Decarbonization Program
Please refer to Item 4 of the November 16, 2023 Board staff report for the most recent update on this program.
Energy Education
Energy Education Website
Status: In December 2023, Staff launched a marketplace landing page powered by Electrum that allows customers to input their address and learn more about the costs to install solar and batteries and/or heat pump water heaters. The marketplace allows customers to create an account and get connected to an energy advisor that will provide support and assistance in getting bids from Electrum-vetted contractors. The energy advisor will help customers throughout the process of completing their project. Promotion of the marketplace and the Electrify Your Life webpages started in January 2024 to educate customers and encourage adoption of these technologies.
Next Steps: Implementation of the marketing campaign for the marketplace is underway by SDCP’s Public Affairs team. Staff will be collaborating with Electrum to expand the list of eligible local contractors in the Electrum database and promote the marketplace.
Energy Efficiency
California Department of Food and Agriculture (“CDFA”) Healthy Refrigeration Grant Program
Status: In July 2023, SDCP staff applied for grant funds under the CDFA Healthy Refrigeration Grant Program. The program funds energy efficient refrigeration units in corner stores, small businesses, and food donation programs in low-income or low-access areas in the state to stock California-grown fresh produce, nuts, dairy, meat, eggs, and minimally processed and culturally appropriate foods. The purpose of the program is to improve access to healthy foods in underserved communities, while promoting California-grown agriculture. On December 22, 2023, SDCP received an award letter from CDFA notifying SDCP that it was awarded partial funding in the amount of $710,000 to support SDCP in providing technical assistance and refrigeration units to stock healthy foods at stores throughout SDCP’s service territory. Full program details will be determined upon receipt of the grant agreement and associated scope from CDFA.
At the January Board meeting, Staff are requesting the Board to authorize the Chief Executive Officer to: (1) accept, appropriate, and expend CDFA grant funds for the Healthy Refrigeration Grant Program in an amount not to exceed $710,000; (2) execute a grant agreement with CDFA with respect to such grant funds and to negotiate and execute any amendments, extensions, or renewals of such grant agreement; and (3) take all necessary action to administer, monitor, manage, and ensure compliance with the grant agreement and to negotiate and execute contracts with third parties to implement the grant agreement or use of grant funds.
Next Steps: Staff expect to negotiate and execute a grant agreement with CDFA in Q1 2024 and to launch the pilot program in Q2/Q3 2024. Following execution of the agreement, Staff will develop program materials, start outreach, and issue solicitations as necessary to contract subconsultants to administer the technical assistance offerings.
Regional Energy Network (“REN”) Formation
Status: The REN Business Plan Application was submitted to the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) on January 5, 2024.
Next Steps: Staff will attend relevant statewide meetings related to the REN Business Plan Application, continue coordination with SDG&E, and respond to any data requests, questions, or comments from the CPUC or stakeholders during the evaluation period (i.e., post-application submittal through when a CPUC decision is made).
Flexible Load
Flexible Load Strategy
Status: Staff presented the Flex Load Strategy to the CAC at their January 11, 2024 meeting and will be presenting it to the Board at their January 18, 2024 meeting. Staff have also requested bids from three consulting firms to provide procurement support for the Distributed Energy Resources Management System (DERMS) identified in the Strategy.
Next Steps: With additional technical consultant support, Staff will initiate the DERMS procurement process. Staff anticipate a DERMS software architecture will be identified and under contract by Q3 2024, for funding in FY 2024-25.
Grant Programs
Community Grant Program
Please refer to Item 4 of the November 16, 2023 Board staff report for the most recent update on this program.
Member Agency Grant Program
Status: In December 2023, Staff executed a contract with the San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative (SDRCC) to administer the Member Agency Grant Program. Staff are working with SDRCC to finalize the program guidelines.
Next Steps: Staff anticipates the program will open to member agencies to apply in Q1 2024.
Solar and Energy Storage
Net Energy Metering (“NEM”) and Net Billing Tariff (“NBT”) Please refer to Item 2 of the December 14, 2023 Board staff report for the most recent update on this program.
Residential Solar + Storage Program
Status: Staff have continued to obtain feedback from stakeholders on the design for a solar plus battery storage program. Staff plan on holding two industry workshops in January 2024 to ensure maximum industry feedback is received.
Next Steps: Staff plan to bring an update on the program design to the CAC and Board in Q1 2024 and for the program to officially launch in Q2/Q3 2024.
Disadvantaged Communities–Single-Family Affordable Solar Homes (DAC-SASH) Roof Repair
Status: In May 2023, Staff brought to the Board an update on potential pilot programs.
Included in the options was a Disadvantaged Communities–Single-Family Affordable Solar Homes (DAC-SASH) Roof Repair pilot. DAC-SASH is a statewide program, implemented by GRID Alternatives (“GRID”) in San Diego that provides no-cost solar to single-family low-income homeowners in CalEnviroScreen-defined Disadvantaged Communities. Under the program, roof repair work is not allowed, leaving some customers behind.
Staff envisions that the pilot would fund the roof repairs or re-roofing of homes that are eligible to participate in the DAC-SASH program. This would allow more statewide funding to flow into our Communities of Concern and enable more low-income homeowners access to rooftop solar and the associate benefits. As the administrator of DAC-SASH in San Diego, staff envisions GRID would administer and implement this pilot.
Next Steps: Staff currently finalizing agreements with GRID to administer and implement the pilot. Staff anticipates bringing an update on the pilot to the February Community Advisory Committee meeting and will be seeking approval of the pilot agreement at the February Board of Directors meeting.
Solar for Our Communities
Please refer to Item 3 of the October 26, 2023 Board staff report for the most recent update on this program.

Staff Report – Item 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: San Diego Community Power Board of Directors
From: Byron Vosburg, Managing Director of Power Services Via: Karin Burns, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Update on Power Resources
Date: January 18, 2024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation: Receive and file update on Power Resources
BACKGROUND
Staff provides the updates below to the Board of Directors regarding SDCP’s power energy procurement activities.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Power Services Staffing
Building out a team of experienced, knowledgeable energy professionals has long been a top priority and allows SDCP not only to solicit, negotiate, and administer contracts for energy supply effectively, but also to monitor market activity, manage risk, bring in-house several activities that have historically been completed by consultants, and to dedicate additional resources to local and distributed energy procurement and development efforts. The SDCP Power Services team, having recently hired a Compliance Analyst and a Contract Management Associate, is now ten people strong and excited to continue stable, prudent growth through 2024.
Long-term Renewable Energy RFPs
As SDCP strives to meet its environmental, financial, and regulatory compliance goals and requirements, long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) are becoming integral components of its energy supply portfolio. Long-term PPAs provide renewable generation facility developers with the certain revenue stream against which they can finance up-front capital requirements, so each long-term PPA that SDCP signs with a developing facility will underpin a new, incremental renewable energy project. In addition, long-term PPAs lock in renewable energy supply around which SDCP can build its power supply portfolio while also providing power supply cost certainty around which SDCP can develop its pro forma financial model. Moreover, the California Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), as modified in 2015 by Senate Bill 350, requires that SDCP provide 65% of its RPS-required renewable energy from contracts of at least ten years in length.
Finally, in D.21-06-025, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) required each Load Serving Entity (LSE) in California to make significant long-term purchase commitments for resource adequacy from new, incremental generation facilities that will achieve commercial operation during 2023 through 2026 for purposes of “Mid Term Reliability” (MTR). These requirements have been augmented and extended into 2026 and 2027 via D.23-02-040.
In pursuit of long-term contracts for renewable energy, staff released two RFPs for eligible Renewable Energy resources in the past 12 months. Staff are deep in negotiations with several respondents for resources that are expected to be online between 2025 and 2028.
Staff and the Energy Contracts Working Group (ECWG) evaluate all RFP submissions prior to entering negotiations with selected participants. Assuming that Staff and shortlisted developer(s) are able to agree to mutually agreeable contracts consistent with terms authorized by the ECWG, Staff then review draft agreements with the SDCP Board for approval and authorization to execute the relevant documents.
In addition to RFPs issued by SDCP, the Power Services team also closely monitors market offers from the IOUs in California to secure contracts for short-term and long-term renewable projects.
Local Development
SDCP’s rolling Local RFI remains open and has already brought in multiple projects under negotiation and contract, including the 35 MW Arrowleaf Solar+Storage facility (Imperial County, executed June 2023) and 19.5 MW of long-term agreements executed with EnerSmart for Local RA from battery storage facilities in San Diego County. SDCP also released an RFO for distributed renewable energy resources (DERs) on October 25th, which focuses on a broad range of distribution-level renewable projects within San Diego County. Staff are currently reviewing responses, which were received on December 22 and demonstrated robust market interest. We will review a shortlist of projects with the Energy Contracts Working Group before, hopefully, presenting a handful of resulting PPAs to the Board in the coming months for consideration. Additional ongoing local initiatives include a Feed-in-Tariff Program revamp and expansion, expected in Q1, and continued collaboration with member agency staff to identify strategic opportunities to further infill development in 2024.
As Program Administrators of the CPUC’s Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff (DAC-GT) and Community Solar Green Tariff (CSGT) programs, SDCP launched the RFP solicitation for respective program resources on August 26th, proposals for which will be due in late February 2024. SDCP has hosted three webinars to aid bidders with the solicitation process.
SDCP’s Local RFI and Feed-in Tariff remain open. More information is available about each at the links below.
• https://sdcommunitypower.org/resources/solicitations/ • https://sdcommunitypower.org/programs/feed-in-tariff/ Short-Term RPS Procurement
SDCP staff continues to actively manage its environmental portfolio and closely monitor the market for renewable and carbon-free energy sources, procuring RPS in the bi-lateral market, and continuing procurement efforts as market opportunities become available.
These procurement efforts will serve to help meet SDCP’s near-term environmental goals as long-term projects in development come online.
Market Update
Due to lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, namely inflation and heavily impacted commodity supply chains that have delayed development of new-build energy resources expected to be online over the last two years, the market for renewable energy and resource adequacy (RA) resources continues to be exceptionally tight and expensive.
Staff are working with developers, industry groups, the CPUC, and CA Governor’s Office and legislators to brainstorm near-term solutions while also actively procuring short-term energy and capacity products and long-term energy resources i) to meet SDCP's portfolio needs practically and cost-effectively and ii) to establish a portfolio of resources that will provide value to SDCP and California's clean, reliable energy needs into the future.

From: Lucas Utouh, Senior Director of Data Analytics and Customer Operations Via: Karin Burns, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Update on Customer Operations
Date: January 18, 2024
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file an update on SDCP’s customer operations.
BACKGROUND
Staff will provide regular updates to the Board of Directors centered around tracking opt actions (i.e., opt outs, opt ups and opt downs) as well as customer engagement metrics.
The following is a brief overview of items pertaining to customer operations.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
A) Mass Enrollment Update
Phase 4:
Mass enrollment for our Non-Net Energy Metering (NEM) customers in National City and Unincorporated County of San Diego is officially complete as of May 2023. As of January 1, 2024, SDCP is serving a cumulative total count of 939,617 active accounts correlating to 1,096,877 meters. There are 162,366 active accounts already enrolled in Unincorporated County of San Diego and 18,769 in National City.
Accounts on Net Energy Metering (NEM) within Phase 4 in National City and County of San Diego began enrollment into SDCP service in April 2023 and will continue through March 2024, coinciding with customers’ true up month. Enrolled customers will receive 2 post enrollment notices through the mail at their mailing address on file within 60 days of their account switching over to SDCP service.
B) Customer Participation Tracking
Staff and Calpine have worked together to create a reporting summary of customer actions to opt out of SDCP service, opt up to Power100, or opt down from Power100 to PowerOn. The below charts summarize these actions accordingly as of December 18th, 2023:
*Historical opt outs including inactive accounts as of 12/18/2023.
Phase 4 mass enrollment process in National City and Unincorporated County of San Diego for Non-Net Energy Metering (NEM) customers is officially completed as of May 2023. The participation rate for this new phase is fluid and will change as we continue with our enrollment of Net Energy Metering (NEM) customers from April 2023 through March 2024. In the interim, we are reporting on the opt outs and eligible accounts associated with the phase based on those accounts that we have noticed for enrollment on a rolling basis as of the reporting month.
C) Contact Center Metrics
With the transition to winter rates effective as of November 1st, call volumes have decreased as expected. We anticipate a relatively steady call volume during the winter period during the last months of our Phase 4 mass enrollment.
The chart below summarizes contact made by customers into our Contact Center broken down by month through December 18th, 2023:
Similar to other CCAs’ service territories, we are anticipating the trend of our customers calling into our Contact Center’s Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system tree and being able to self-serve their opt actions using the recorded prompts as well as utilizing our website for processing opt actions to continue accounting for over 60% of all instances.
The remaining portion of customer calls are connected to our Customer Service Representatives to answer additional questions, assist with account support, or submit opt actions.
D) Customer Service Email Trends
As of this latest reporting month, we still have a total of 13 Dedicated Customer Service Representatives staffed at our Contact Center and 2 Supervisors. Our robust Quality Assurance (QA) procedures are firmly in place to ensure that our customers are getting a world-class customer experience when they contact us.

Staff Report – Item 9
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: San Diego Community Power Board of Directors
From: Laura Fernandez, Director of Regulatory & Legislative Affairs Aisha Cissna, Senior Policy Manager
Patrick Welch, Senior Legislative Manager
Stephen Gunther, Senior Regulatory Analyst
Via: Karin Burns, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Update on Regulatory and Legislative Affairs
Date: January 18, 2024
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATIONS
Receive and file the update on regulatory and legislative affairs.
BACKGROUND
Staff will provide regular updates to the Board of Directors regarding SDCP’s regulatory and legislative engagement.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
A) Regulatory Updates
Final Decision Conditionally Approving Extended Operations at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Pursuant to Senate Bill 846
On December 14, 2023, the CPUC adopted a Final Decision directing and authorizing extended operations at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (DCPP) until October 31, 2029 (Unit 1) and October 31, 2030 (Unit 2), pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 846. DCPP is owned and operated by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) with a combined generation capacity of 2,240 megawatts (MW).
The Decision outlines several conditions to the approval of extended operations as well as other related processes and considerations. Relevant to SDCP, the Decision allocates the costs and benefits of extended DCPP operations among all load-serving entities (LSE) subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction. • The process for allocating costs to the LSEs within each IOU’s territory shall use the Cost Allocation Mechanism (CAM), as recommended by CalCCA and others, using the 12-month coincident demand methodology. • The Commission finds it fair and reasonable to allocate Resource Adequacy (RA) benefits in the same manner as eligible costs (via CAM). o This decision recognizes that extending the RA credits for a 2,300 MW resource such as DCPP may have impacts on the RA market and, potentially, the Planning Reserve Margin established for LSEs in a future RA proceeding.
o RA benefits are allocated to each IOU on the basis of 12-month coincident peak demand, then among each large IOU’s LSEs. o RA benefits shall be allocated to LSEs as a load decrement using a process that mirrors the CAM process.
• PG&E shall offer to LSEs that are paying for extended operations of DCPP the ability to use their share of DCPP’s GHG-free attributes for their power content label.
o The existing process for voluntarily offering the GHG attributes of certain resources to LSEs, as adopted in D.22-06-066, will be used as a model.
B) Federal Activities Report
On Tuesday, December 13, 2023, San Diego Representative Mike Levin introduced the Clean Electricity and Transmission Acceleration (CETA) Act as H.R. 6747. Rep. Levin co-chairs the House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition Clean Energy Deployment Task Force. SDCP has endorsed CETA, and the press release introducing the legislation featured a quote from SDCP CEO Karin Burns, who said that the bill will “strengthen grid reliability and enable projects that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector.”
CETA focuses on improving the deployment of long-distance transmission power lines to connect more renewable energy resources to the grid. It does this through a number of mechanisms, including a 30% transmission investment tax credit and improvements to interregional transmission planning. It also seeks to promote development of renewable energy projects on federal lands, with revenues going to conservation efforts. Finally, the bill would establish a national offshore wind permitting target and seeks to improve community engagement by, for example, requiring that agencies complete community impacts reports.
CETA is endorsed by 74 Democrats. There aren’t any Republican co-sponsors. The legislation has been referred to nine committees.
C) State Legislative Activities Update
The Legislature convened for the 2024 legislative year on January 3. Legislators have until February 16 to introduce new bills. The session ends at midnight on August 31. This will be the first full year of leadership for new Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, who recently replaced Assemblymember Anthony Rendon after he served in the post for seven years. Just before the new year, Speaker Rivas exercised his power to shape the membership of important committees; he replaced Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia with Assemblymember Cottie Petrie Norris as chair of the Assembly Utilities & Energy Committee. She represents the Irvine area and has not authored any energy related legislation in her time in elected office. The State Senate will also soon be under new leadership. In February, Senator Mike McGuire will replace Senator Toni Atkins as pro Tem (she terms out in 2024). Senator McGuire has not announced if he will make any committee assignment changes.
Governor Newsom released his January budget proposal on January 10. This is a constitutionally required action and sets the stage for six months of legislative debate about the state’s finances and associated policies. This is expected to be a tough budget year. Due to a decline in the stock market and a major delay in tax receipts, the Governor anticipates that the state faces a $37.9 billion shortfall, while the Legislative Analyst’s Office estimates the state could face a $68 billion deficit.
The Governor proposes to pull $13.1 billion from the state’s rainy-day fund and to make $8.5 billion in cuts (along with some program delays and deferrals) to close the budget gap. The Governor proposes to cut or delay some energy programs, including a delay of $200 million at the CPUC for residential solar + storage and an elimination of $283 million for the Equitable Building Decarbonization program at the California Energy Commission.
Importantly, the Governor does not want to reduce the budget for the Strategic Reliability Reserve, which is a suite of energy programs intended to help keep the lights on during extreme weather events that strain the grid in the summer. The Governor also wants to maintain most of the $10 billion for zero-emission vehicle programs appropriated in the last two budget cycles. He is proposing some minor delays in some areas, such as the Equitable At-Home Charging program.
While there are some proposed cuts to programs that align with SDCP priorities, given the budget deficit faced by the state, it is notable that the Governor is proposing to preserve most energy and zero-emission related funding. Preservation of the Strategic Reliability Reserve is also important and notable, given the continued likelihood of capacity shortfalls on the grid during summer months through 2026. The Governor will propose various trailer bills in the coming weeks to accompany his budget proposal. The Governor last year used the trailer bill process to introduce his concept of central procurement, which was eventually signed into law. The Governor has yet to release the associated trailer bills for this year’s budget and it remains unclear if he will propose any major energy policies.

SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY POWER
Staff Report – Item 10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: San Diego Community Power Board of Directors
From: Kiran Singh, Director Data Analytics & IT
Via: Karin Burns, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Approval of Fourth Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Brentech Inc. to increase the not-to exceed contract value to $246,720 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 for equipment and non-equipment (also referred to as IT Consulting Services) through June 30, 2024 Date: January 18, 2024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the fourth amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Brentech Inc. (Brentech Agreement) to increase the not-to-exceed contract value to $246,720 ($126,720 for non-equipment also referred to as IT consulting services and $120,000 for equipment) in FY23-24 and to authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND
On August 17, 2021, San Diego Community Power (SDCP) approved the Brentech Agreement for computer and information technology (IT)-related services and technical labor through June 30, 2022 with a not-to-exceed amount of $48,000 ($24,000 for non-equipment services and $24,000 for equipment).
Brentech Inc. is one of San Diego’s longest established computer and information technology solutions providers servicing San Diego, Riverside, and Orange Counties with business solutions for over 40 years.
Brentech Inc. provides full IT, cloud-based services, and computer system services including:
• Purchase and setup of business-class laptops
• Configuration of cloud-based systems including Microsoft 365, Microsoft application suite (e.g. Word, Excel, Teams, etc.), Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Authenticator, Adobe Acrobat DC, etc.
• Setup, configure, and manage Microsoft 365 accounts for all Staff members • Setup, configure, and manage miscellaneous email inboxes (Exchange setups) • Provision of support services to staff members regarding any IT/computer related inquiries, issues, and troubleshooting:
• Advise, establish, configure, and manage IT and network security protocols, policies, best practices, and trainings.
• Assist with, resolve, and report on security breaches (including but not limited to hacking, phishing incidents, virus installations, and all other compromises of SDCP systems and networks).
• Work with and assist SDCP contracted vendors to conduct regular and periodic security audits, including installing monitoring and reporting clients for audit purposes.
Subsequently, on July 29, 2022, SDCP amended and extended the Brentech Agreement through June 29, 2022 with a not-to-exceed amount for FY22-23 of $73,000 ($33,000 for non-equipment services and $40,000 for equipment).
After the amendment, on February 1, 2023, SDCP hired an IT Associate as SDCP desired to transition its IT services from Brentech Inc. to be delivered internally. This transition was intended to be in parallel to retaining Brentech Inc. in the short term to ensure continuity in IT services.
On April 27, 2023, SDCP approved a second amendment with Brentech Inc. for computer and information technology-related services and technical labor through June 30, 2024, with a not-to-exceed amount of $77,380 ($34,980 for non-equipment services and $42,400 for equipment).
Since the second amendment, SDCP’s IT Associate position has been vacated and SDCP has therefore required additional services from Brentech Inc. to ensure business operations were not negatively impacted. Those services include an on-site IT Technician which resulted in a significant increase in hours billed. SDCP is currently in the process of reviewing applications for an IT Manager role as well as posting of an IT Systems Engineer position to create a worldclass IT and Data Analytics team and transition the IT function internally; therefore reducing the dependency on external vendors for such services.
On June 22, 2023, the SDCP Board adopted its FY23-24 budget which included in its hiring plan a new Director of IT and Data Analytics. An additional 300 contract hours was estimated to cover the agency’s need for an IT consultant until the establishment of an internal IT department.
On September 28, 2023, the SDCP Board approved a third amendment with Brentech Inc. to increase the not-to-exceed amount of $112,360 ($69,960 for non-equipment services also referred to as IT consulting services and $42,400 for equipment). An additional 300 contract hours was estimated to cover the agency’s needs for an IT consultant until the establishment of an internal IT department.
On November 1, 2023 SDCP entered a new sublease agreement and moved office spaces. Brentech Inc. facilitated the move with regards to all IT matters, which resulted in substantial usage of contract hours. While SDCP has not yet hired an IT Systems Engineer to reduce the demand of contracted hours with Brentech, Inc., SDCP has onboarded a Director of IT and Data Analytics to continue its commitment to building its in-house IT services functions.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Staff recommends increasing the Brentech Inc. Agreement for a not-to-exceed amount of $246,720 ($126,720 for non-equipment also referred to as IT consulting services and $120,000 for equipment) in FY23-24.
The third amendment stated a not-to-exceed amount of $69,960 for non-equipment services which equates to 300 contract hours. SDCP estimates an additional 960 hours of service is needed from Brentech Inc. for the remainder of FY23-24. The services included are all on-site IT Consultant or Technician responsibilities such as new employee onboarding, troubleshooting hardware and software, network maintenance, Board and committee meeting setup, internal presentation or meeting equipment setup and other various IT related tasks.
SDCP plans to release a Request for Proposal for IT Consultant services in the first half of 2024.
COMMITTEE REVIEW
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT
Given the vacancy in SDCP’s IT Associate position and the recent move to SDCP’s new offices, SDCP anticipates shifting FY23-24 cost savings in personnel to offset the increase in professional services resulting from this Amendment. Cost of this action includes an increase to the Agreement’s not-to-exceed amount of $246,720 ($126,720 for non-equipment also referred to as IT consulting services and $120,000 for equipment through June 30, 2024.

Date: January 18, 2024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATION
Approve TEGNA Marketing Community Initiative Partnership Agreement for messaging strategy, video production, long-form interviews, & digital support services.
BACKGROUND
San Diego Community Power (SDCP) is seeking to partner with San Diego’s most-watched local media outlet that can publicize and align SDCP with a cause-related community campaign. SDCP would like to execute a fully integrated campaign with both promotional and news elements. TEGNA, which owns local television station KFMB-TV/CBS 8, can provide a media strategy and assets that will spotlight SDCP and its benefits to both the greater community and to organizations that are working to tackle local issues such as the housing crisis, food insecurity, and inflationary pressures.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Staff recommends executing this TEGNA Marketing Community Initiative Partnership Agreement to allow SDCP to spread the word about its service to the community and opportunities to highlight program offerings that support customers.
As part of its Community Initiative Partnership, SDCP will be the primary sponsor of segments that feature nonprofits in the region that are supporting communities of concern and making a positive impact on the region at large.
Some of the deliverables as part of the agreement include:

• Promos for the special
• CBS8.com Home Page Take Over
TENGA estimates that the package will provide more than 10 million impressions through paid media opportunities before taking into account viewership of earned media opportunities. The cost of 1.7 cents per impression provides value to SDCP customers who should take advantage of programmatic offerings.
TEGNA owns 64 news brands in 51 markets, including CBS8 and the CW in San Diego, making it one of the largest and geographically diverse broadcasters in the U.S. TEGNA is also the largest owner of “Big Four” affiliates in the top-25 markets among independent station groups and reach approximately 40 percent of all TV households nationwide.

Staff Report – Item 12
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: San Diego Community Power Board of Directors
From: Xiomalys Crespo, Community Engagement Manager
Via: Karin Burns, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Approval of Amendments to the CAC Scope of Work and Policies and Procedures
Date: January 18, 2024
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend Approval of Amendments to the Community Advisory Committee’s (CAC):
a. Scope of Work
b. Policies and Procedures
BACKGROUND
Per Section 5.10.3 of the San Diego Community Power (SDCP) Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Agreement:
The Board shall establish a Community Advisory Committee comprised of non-Board members. The primary purpose of the Community Advisory Committee shall be to advise the Board of Directors and provide for a venue for ongoing citizen support and engagement in the strategic direction, goals, and programs of the Authority. .The Community Advisory Committee is advisory only, and shall not have decision-making authority, nor receive any delegation of authority from the Board of Directors. Each Party may nominate a committee member(s) and the Board shall determine the final selection of committee members, who should represent a diverse cross-section of interests, skills sets and geographic regions.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Scope of Work
To provide specific guidance to CAC members on the roles and responsibilities of the CAC, staff is recommending amendments to the Scope of Work approved at the January 30, 2020 Board of Directors meeting and last amended during its August 26, 2021 meeting.
Concurrent to revisions to the annual CAC Work Plan and the Standard Operating Procedures, staff worked with CAC Ad-Hoc Committee members to revise the CAC Scope of Work to better capture member duties and clarify processes and authority. The Community and Equity Ad-Hoc Committee discussed potential amendments to the CAC Scope of Work during the November 6, 2023 and the December 4, 2023 meetings.
The proposed amendments include changing the time frame of the CAC Work Plan from fiscal years to calendar years to better track outcomes independent of member terms, streamlining language to clearly reflect SDCP’s priority of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion and the CAC’s equity overview focus, and specifying the role of members in representing all our member agencies.
Policies and Procedures
Previously named “Standard Operating Procedures” and last discussed at the CAC during its July 8, 2022 regular meeting, the proposed amendments to the CAC Policies and Procedures are an effort to streamline and clarify guidance around compliance relating to CAC membership, meetings, and processes. Staff worked with SDCP’s legal counsel to create these changes, which are expected to enhance committee and meeting efficiency.
Of note, staff has included the Membership Terms and Criteria, a previously separate document, in the proposed Policies and Procedures to create a single document relating to the policies, procedures, and membership of the CAC that members may more efficiently reference.
Additionally, recommended amendments include: consolidating various sections under new headings; outlining the member selection process; clarifying term duration after a vacancy is filled and term limits are reached; establishing the bylaws as meeting procedure unless otherwise provided in the Policies and Procedures; reaffirming that no items suggested during a regular meeting can be discussed unless included in the agenda; and adding Brown Act language regarding social media and email addresses. 2024 CAC Work Plan
Staff leveraged the formation of the Community & Equity Ad-Hoc Committee to discuss changes to these key documents as well as revisions to the CAC work plan. Proposed changes to the current workplan include: clarifying strategies under each focus to better track progress and outcomes; specifying proposed educational presentations; defining information-sharing protocols to activate member advocacy; deleting redundant areas of focus; updating areas of focus to reflect status of implementation; and adding Civic Engagement and Participation as an area of focus to explore and develop ways to increase participation at CAC meetings, leverage CAC members’ networks, and foster CAC member turnover resiliency. Should the CAC recommend Board approval of these revisions at their next meeting, the 2024 CAC Work Plan is expected to be agendized at the February 22, 2024 Board of Directors meeting for review and approval.
COMMITTEE REVIEW
During its January 11, 2024 regular meeting, the CAC unanimously recommended that the Board approve the proposed Scope of Work and Policies and Procedures.

Community Advisory Committee
Policies and Procedures - DRAFT
The purpose of the San Diego Community Power (SDCP) Community Advisory Committee (CAC) is to advise the SDCP Board of Directors and provide a venue for ongoing citizen support and engagement in the strategic direction, goals, and programs of SDCP, as stated in section 5.10.3 of the SDCP Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Agreement. The CAC plays an important role in ensuring transparency, accountability, and effective community engagement within SDCP; the CAC is required to comply with the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act), which requires all meetings of the CAC to be open and public.
This document provides policies and procedures on CAC membership, meetings, how the CAC will operate and interact with SDCP staff and the Board, and other matters.
I. Membership
A. Membership Criteria
The CAC shall consist of two (2) members from each member agency (currently a total of 14). This composition may be revisited by the Board if new member agencies are added to SDCP.
Members shall be residents, business owners, employees or representatives of a community-based organization located within one of the member agencies of SDCP.
There shall be at least one (1) CAC member that is a renter within SDCP’s service territory and one (1) that is a business owner.
SDCP aims to ensure a wide variety of perspectives and participation on the CAC, consistent with its core mission, vision, and principles.
Members commit to fulfilling the role and responsibilities outlined under these Policies and Procedure and the CAC’s Scope of Work.
B. Selection Process
Each Board Director may nominate a committee member and the Board shall determine the final selection by a simple majority vote. When reviewing applicants for membership, the Board of Directors should seek to ensure that the CAC represents a diverse cross-section of interests and skills sets and should prioritize members, when feasible, from diverse social, economic, and racial backgrounds that are representative of all residents within the service territory of SDCP.
Applicants must be committed to attending regular CAC meetings and occasional SDCP Board meetings.
Effective Date: ______, 2024. 2
C. Term Limits
Members serve staggered three-year terms, with a limit of two (2) consecutive terms. If a member is appointed to serve a partial term for more than 18 months, that partial term will be considered a full term for purposes of this provision.
D. Resignation
CAC members may resign their position by sending a written resignation letter addressed to the Board of Directors or Board Secretary. The notice of resignation may specify a date on which the resignation will become effective. If a CAC member ceases to reside or do business within the member agency service area from which they were appointed, the member is deemed to have resigned their CAC membership.
E. Removal
CAC members may be removed by a majority vote of the Board of Directors should the Board determine that the member has failed to comply with these Policies and Procedures or for any other cause or no cause in the sole direction of the Board. If a member misses four (4) consecutive meetings, they may be removed by the Chair of the Board of Directors upon written notification from the Board Chair, unless excused for good cause by the Board Chair.
F. Vacancy
If at any time a vacancy occurs on the CAC, a replacement shall be appointed to serve the remainder of the former member’s term.
II. Responsibilities of CAC Members
A. General Responsibilities
CAC Members will: (a) attend each meeting or inform SDCP staff and the CAC Chair if they will be late or absent; (b) prepare for meetings by reviewing information provided in advance, including agendas, minutes, staff reports, and attending briefings prior to the meeting; (c) commit to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment; (d) if requested, and where feasible, participate in sub- or ad-hoc work groups that may be established to cover specific topics; and (e) provide comments and questions during regular meetings that:
• Are consistent with the CAC Scope of Work, the published agenda, and the Brown Act;
• Represent the interests of the communities represented; and Effective Date: ______, 2024. 3
• Contained to the allotted five (5) minutes per member per item, unless otherwise allowed by the CAC Chair.
B. Conflicts of Interest and Ethical Conduct
Members shall review and comply with SDCP’s Conflict of Interest and Ethical Conduct Policy. Members are required to identify and manage conflicts of interest pursuant to the procedures and requirements in that policy and applicable law, including the Political Reform Act, Government Code section 1090, and regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission.
C. Code of Conduct & Required Training and Reporting
Members must complete all required training and reporting associated with serving on the CAC, which includes, but is not limited to:
• Ethics Training, including training on the Brown Act and Public Records Act • Sexual Harassment Prevention Training
III. Meetings
A. Structure and Frequency
Meetings of the CAC will comply with the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act, Government Code § 54950, et seq.), will be conducted in person, and are subject to SDCP’s Teleconferencing Policy.
CAC meetings, times, and location be determined by the CAC on a yearly basis in consultation with SDCP staff to ensure availability of meeting locations and staffing and consistency with meetings of the SDCP Board and other committees.
B. Quorum and Voting
The CAC will only conduct business when a quorum consisting of more than 50% of the appointed CAC members are present. The CAC may act by motions approved by a majority of the quorum present at a meeting. Motions resulting in a tie vote or less than a majority will represent a failed motion. The CAC will seek consensus where possible.
Where consensus is not reached, the Chair will seek to communicate diverging views in delivery of the recommendation to the Board. Except as otherwise provided in these Policies and Procedures, SDCP’s Bylaws will be used as a guide on meeting procedures, if applicable.
C. Required Attendance
CAC members must attend at least 50% of all yearly meetings. If a CAC member is absent for three (3) consecutive meetings, unless excused for good cause by the Chair of the Board, SDCP staff will contact the Member by phone or in writing and inform them of this Effective Date: ______, 2024. 4
provision. If the member misses a fourth (4th) consecutive meeting, they may be removed through a written notification from the Chair of the Board.
D. Public Comments
The public may provide public comments in accordance with the Brown Act and the published agenda. To ensure public comment is heard in a timely manner, the Chair will call on staff to acknowledge any public comments after presentations or staff discussion are concluded in a particular agenda item.
E. Adding Agenda Items to Community Advisory Committee Meetings CAC members shall suggest agenda items be added to CAC meetings by communicating them to the Chair and the designated SDCP staff. This will create a streamlined process where the Chair and SDCP staff can collect these requests and discuss them for approval with the SDCP Chief Executive Officer or their designee.
F. Adding Agenda Items to Board of Directors Meetings
There are two ways that the CAC may bring items to the attention of the Board at a Board meeting:
1. Standing CAC Report
The CAC report may be a standing item on the Board agenda, in which the CAC Chair, CEO, or designated staff reports on updates related to a recent CAC meeting. Consistent with the Brown Act, items raised during the CAC report may not result in extended discussion or action by the Board unless agendized for a future meeting.
2. Suggesting Board Agenda Items
The CAC may suggest agenda items for a Board of Directors meeting agenda by communicating with the CAC Chair and the designated SDCP staff, before and/or after a regular CAC meeting. If suggested during a regular meeting, there shall be no discussion or action by the CAC unless the item has been included on the CAC agenda. To be added to a Board agenda, items must have the approval of the SDCP Chief Executive Officer and the Chair of the Board of Directors. If approval is provided, staff must be given at least 5 business days before the date of the Board meeting to work with the CAC to draft any memos and materials necessary.
IV. CAC Officers
A. Chair
The Chair of the CAC will: (a) serve as the primary liaison and spokesperson for the CAC with SDCP staff and the Board of Directors; (b) support SDCP staff with setting the CAC agenda; (c) guide the CAC in developing an annual Work Plan consistent with the CAC Effective Date: ______, 2024. 5
Scope of Work and approved by the Board of Directors; (d) determine if meetings are required or if a meeting should be canceled; (e) lead and manage CAC meetings to ensure all CAC members and community members are heard, work to keep meetings to the allotted time, and manage public comments; (f) work with staff to determine a suitable meeting location and a recurring date and time; (g) represent the CAC at the Board of Directors to provide updates, submit information, or respond to Board requests; and (h) represent the CAC within SDCP processes, to other organizations, or at events, as appropriate.
B. Vice-Chair
The Vice-Chair of the CAC will assume CAC Chair responsibilities in the event the Chair is absent from a meeting or otherwise unable to perform their duties.
C. Secretary
The Secretary of the CAC will take attendance and meeting notes and work with SDCP staff to distribute relevant information to members.
D. Election of Officers
Officers may be nominated or self-nominated and elected at every July meeting by a simple majority vote of the CAC. Each nomination requires a second. If there is only one nominee for a position, the CAC members will vote “yes” or “no” to elect the nominee. If there is more than one nominee for a position, the CAC will cast their votes by name until a nominee receives a majority vote. The terms will be for one (1) year or until a successor is elected, with the option for officers to be re-elected for up to three (3) terms.
Representatives required for a singular function or service may be elected using the same procedures described above when the need arises, for a term defined by the singular function or service.
V. Responsibilities and Interactions with SDCP Staff
SDCP staff will: (a) create regular meeting agendas with the support of the CAC Chair; (b) notice regular meetings according to Brown Act requirements; (c) provide general support and respond to questions during regular meetings, as needed; and (d) communicate any CAC recommendations to the Board.
The CAC Chair is the primary liaison to SDCP staff for all matters related to the CAC. All communications shall be directed to the CAC Chair and the designated SDCP staff overseeing the CAC.
VI. Interacting with and Reporting to the SDCP Board of Directors The CAC Chair is the primary liaison to SDCP staff and the Board for all matters related to the CAC. It should also be noted that the CAC Chair may also be called upon by the Board Chair to speak on various matters.
Effective Date: ______, 2024. 6
At the direction of the Chair of SDCP’s Board of Directors, the CAC, via staff, shall provide monthly updates and quarterly reports during the regular meetings of the Board of Directors.
VII. Requesting Information to Support CAC Work
The CAC may make formal requests for information from SDCP staff in support of the CAC’s annual work plan and agenda items, and SDCP staff shall make every reasonable effort to provide requested information in a timely fashion in order to allow the CAC to make the most informed decision possible.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, requests by the CAC for information and/or research will be channeled through the Chief Executive Officer, and any requests for information and/or research that entail substantial staff time or cost will be channeled through the Board for the Board’s consideration and formal direction.
Independent of a formal request for information from the CAC, individual CAC members may request information, which will be provided in accordance with the California Public Records Act (PRA).
VIII. Creating Ad-Hoc or Subcommittees
The CAC may create ad-hoc committees or subcommittees to address issues more in depth outside of CAC meetings and bring findings or recommendations back to the full CAC.
Ad-Hoc committees are temporary committees appointed for a specific purpose, such as updating the work plan. The CAC may establish temporary ad hoc advisory committees that: (a) are composed of less than a quorum of the CAC, (b) have no continuing subject matter jurisdiction, and (c) have no meeting schedule fixed by motion or other formal action of the CAC. Such temporary ad-hoc committees are not subject to Brown Act noticing and meeting requirements.
Standing subcommittees are permanent subcommittees created to review long-term issues, such as rates or budget. Because meetings of such subcommittees must be publicly noticed and agendized consistent with the Brown Act (and therefore require SDCP staff time), CAC requests to establish subcommittees are subject to Board approval and direction.
The CAC Chair will seek volunteers during a CAC regular meeting to form an ad-hoc or subcommittee. The CAC Chair will work to ensure all CAC members have a chance to participate on various groups as formed throughout the year.
IX. Creating and Updating the Work Plan
The CAC will adopt a Work Plan that aligns with the CAC Scope of Work approved by the Board of Directors. This shall be updated annually. The Work Plan shall be approved by the Board.
Effective Date: ______, 2024. 7
X. Conducting Outreach and Representing SDCP to the Community The CAC Chair may speak on SDCP matters to local community organizations with prior approval of staff. This includes the approval of talking points and presentation slides (if to be used). For other CAC members, they may speak as individual members of the CAC, but may not represent themselves as speaking on behalf of the CAC as a body or on behalf of SDCP as an entity. This may differ if there is a uniform decision made by the CAC on which its members can speak on behalf of the CAC as a whole and should be coordinated with SDCP staff.
The following are communications guidelines for the CAC members to adhere to:
A. Approved Messaging and Talking Points
Staff will provide talking points that are periodically updated as information evolves. These talking points are intended to guide conversations in the community so SDCP may speak from the same facts, while encouraging members to make them their own.
B. Media Inquiries
All media inquiries shall be forwarded to SDCP staff for vetting and confirmation of next steps.
C. Speaker Requests
CAC members are encouraged to invite SDCP staff to present at community events, alert staff of opportunities to participate in community events and/or to request for a CAC member to speak on behalf of SDCP in the community.
D. Conducting Outreach
To ensure a common and cohesive communications approach, CAC members shall serve as informational channels with the communities they represent while SDCP staff serves the primary function of outreach to various groups, with the support of the CAC. CAC members are expected to report information they receive from their communities to SDCP staff so that staff may provide accurate information.
E. Social Media
CAC members are encouraged to utilize their own social media accounts to reshare, repost, and comment on SDCP matters so the content is shared throughout their communities. Please note that, in compliance with the Brown Act, CAC members shall not: (1) use social media to communicate with a majority of CAC members relating to CAC business; or (2) respond directly to another CAC member’s communication, comment or post if the topic concerns CAC business (this includes liking, sharing, commenting, or otherwise reacting to another CAC member’s communication, comment or post).
Effective Date: ______, 2024. 8
F. Email Addresses
CAC members may utilize non-SDCP issued email addresses when responding to external questions. Please note, however, that e-mails relating to the conduct of SDCP or CAC business may be subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. To protect the CAC members’ privacy, SDCP will not publicly share private email addresses unless consent is given or if required by the Public Records Act.
G. Communications with External Agencies
Section 5.10.3 of the SDCP JPA Agreement states that the CAC is an advisory body to the SDCP Board of Directors. Accordingly, the CAC shall not provide comments or similar communications on behalf of SDCP or the CAC to external agencies on its own. However, the CAC may provide recommendations on external matters for the Board to consider.
This provision does not limit or affect the right of individual members of the CAC to communicate with external agencies in their personal, non-CAC capacities.

SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY POWER
Staff Report – Item 14
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: San Diego Community Power Board of Directors
From: Aaron Lu, Senior Rates and Strategy Analyst
Tim Manglicmot, Senior Finance Manager
Lucas Utouh, Senior Director of Data Analytics and Customer Operations Via: Karin Burns, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Review and Approval of 2024 Rates
Date: January 18, 2024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATION
Review and approve a rate adjustment contained in Attachment A to go into effect on February 1, 2024. The recommendation features a 17.7% year-over-year average decrease from 2023 to 2024, in San Diego Community Power (SDCP) electricity generation rates across all customer classes.
Staff recommends adoption of these rates because they provide immediate rate relief for all customers while enabling SDCP to maintain its reserves. These reserves provide financial stability, satisfy credit obligations, and prepare SDCP to weather unanticipated market and cost shifts. Staff also recommends adjusting the Power100 premium from $0.0075/kWh to $0.01/kWh, effective on July 1, 2024, to better reflect the increase in cost of procuring 100% renewable power. This will result in an average 16% rate decrease on average for our Power100 customers.
BACKGROUND
Prior to SDCP’s launch and initial enrollment of customers in March 2021, customers received bundled electric service (both generation and delivery) from San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) under a wide variety of rate schedules. When customers transition into SDCP service, they become “unbundled” – effectively splitting their charges between SDG&E for transmission/delivery services, and SDCP for generation services while still receiving one single, consolidated bill. To make it easier for customers to understand their bills and to compare SDG&E costs, SDCP mirrors the SDG&E rate schedule structure, including time-of-use periods.
SDCP has always aimed to provide electricity to its customers at competitive rates and simplify the rate adjustment process by making changes on average only once a year, which creates certainty and stability for customers.
In contrast, SDG&E has historically made multiple adjustments to their rates. For additional context on this, SDG&E adjusted their electricity generation rates five times in 2021, per effective date changes observed in their historical Schedule Electric Energy Commodity Cost (EECC).
Per SDCP’s Financial Reserves Policy adopted by the Board of Directors in June 2021, SDCP will allocate up to 15% of gross revenue annually toward building an Operating/Working Capital Reserve equivalent to 90-days of total operating expenses (including power supply expenses) to be held as unrestricted cash. In June 2022, the Board further adopted strategic goals which included a plan to obtain an investment grade credit rating by November 2025, to increase reserves to $175 million (the equivalent to 90-days of total operating expenses at the time) by October 2023, to increase reserves to $360 million (the equivalent to 180-days of total operating expenses at the time) by October 2025, to develop a rate stabilization reserve of $70 million to mitigate power cost fluctuations and economic downturns, and to obtain an investment-grade credit rating.
On June 22, 2023, the SDCP Board approved its Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 budget which showed that SDCP’s 180-day cash on hand target has increased from $360 million to $491.1 million. To date, SDCP has not met its reserve goal of 180-days cash on hand and has not met its reserve goal of establishing a rate stabilization reserve of $70 million.
Additionally, SDCP has not yet obtained a credit rating.
Reserves are critical to SDCP’s ability to earn a credit rating that will allow it to purchase power at relatively lower costs within the next few years, moderate future rate fluctuations for its ratepayers, and provide adequate contingencies to mitigate power supply shocks and economic downturns. Therefore, maintaining and building reserves were key factors that informed the proposed rate scenarios.
Understanding the broad economic pressures San Diego County residents and businesses faced in 2023 and will continue to confront in 2024, SDCP staff analyzed multiple rate options. Staff analyzed the following three rate adjustment options, effective on February 1, 2024:
• Scenario 1: Decrease generation rates by 16.4% year-over-year, year-round, from 2023 to 2024;
• Scenario 2: Decrease generation rates by 24% year-over-year, year-round, from 2023 to 2024; and
• Staff Recommendation: Decrease generation rates by 17.7% year-over-year on average, year-round, from 2023 to 2024.
SDCP staff’s recommendation to the Board of Directors is to adopt the last option which will invest in our customers while taking a fiscally responsible approach that ensures long-term viability of SDCP to serve our community and create competition in the local energy market, while also offering energy programs tailored to meet the needs of our region.
Staff analysis concluded that if SDCP applied a 16.4% year-over-year from 2023 to 2024 on average decrease year-round on February 1, 2024, SDCP generation rates would be approximately 8% more expensive compared to current SDG&E generation rates. In contrast, if SDCP opted to decrease rates on average by 24% year-over-year from 2023, SDCP will have to erode its reserves and may potentially put SDCP onto a path of noncompliance with certain state procurement mandates.
The option staff recommends to the Board of Directors for adoption creates value year-round, provides a 17.7% decrease on average in rates for all SDCP customers year over year from 2023 to 2024, and ensures that SDCP can meet its strategic financial goals.
With this staff recommended option, SDCP customers will see a discount in the winter of
1.5% and in the summer a premium of 15% relative to SDG&E’s current bundled commodity rates. In total, SDCP customers would pay 2.7% more than an SDG&E customer for their total annual costs if SDG&E’s current rates remain in place.
The staff recommended option also allows SDCP to maintain its reserves. It also creates an opportunity to achieve its strategic goal of having 180-days cash on hand – a goal that creates a path for SDCP to earn a credit rating, which would create an environment that will help bring down electricity rates for customers in the long term. A strong reserve also protects the long-term solvency of SDCP and provides confidence to lenders, project developers, and vendors, which lowers the perceived risk of (and therefore cost of) doing business with SDCP. The Board of Directors’ review and approval of this specific staff-recommended rate adjustment would be consistent with industry standard ratemaking practices. The new rates will, at a minimum, meet SDCP’s annual revenue requirements, including the need for any reserves or coverage requirements set forth in policy and loan covenants, as well as debt service to operate a viable organization, as required in our Financial Reserves Policy.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
SDCP 2024 Rate Setting Mechanics
SDCP utilized its latest financial projections through its January 2024 Proforma benchmark for rate-setting analysis purposes, meaning that the proposed rates were designed to recover revenue consistent with estimated FY 2023-2024 and FY 2024-2025 sales and expenditures. The proposed rates were carefully designed to yield revenues sufficient to collect SDCP’s projected annual power supply costs and pay for other operating costs, debt service costs, a nominal planned reserve margin contribution and have a balanced budget. Additionally, the staff recommendation allows SDCP to maintain its reserves and work toward its 180-day cash on hand and reserve stabilization strategic goals in the longer term – goals that cannot be achieved with further rate discounts.
Critically, staff is recommending to the Board of Directors rates that are designed to serve the needs of our customers in the long run by aiding in the maintenance and accrual of reserves. These reserves will give SDCP the ability to better stabilize its rates for customers if unplanned events, such as 2022’s unprecedented heat wave, cause procurement costs to spike. The chart below summarizes a Proforma analysis associated with reserves from the proposed rates, effective as of February 1, 2024, compared against the prior projection from the adopted SDCP FY 2023-2024 budget adopted by the Board on June 22, 2023.
Based on staff recommended rates, SDCP would maintain the reserves it built in FY 2023- 24 and would contribute slightly further to those reserves, although SDCP would not achieve its 180-days cash on hand goal during this period. The staff recommendation would allow SDCP to preserve its reserves while energy commodity prices, particularly within renewables and resource adequacy, are continuing to increase.
Recommended Rate Adjustments
The staff recommended rates before the Board provide reserves that create a projected reserve impact of $20.3 million for the remainder of FY 2023-2024 and FY 2024-2025.
The staff recommendation considers projected operating costs based on contracts SDCP has executed to date and the projected material increase in costs of procuring energy and other wholesale services needed to supply SDCP’s customers with a default resource mix of 52% renewable energy and an additional 3% greenhouse gas-free power in our PowerOn service, as well as our 100% renewable energy in our Power100 service.
The SDCP rates for its PowerOn product mirror SDG&E’s rates in terms of rate schedules, time-of-use periods, as well as demand charges. This rate design approach is typical for Community Choice Aggregation programs and has the advantage of ensuring ease of comparison for customers with SDG&E’s billing process.
For customers enrolled in or electing the Power100 service, the premium will be adjusted from $0.0075/kWh to $0.01/kWh starting on July 1, 2024. This premium adjustment reflects the increase in SDCP’s incremental cost to offer a 100% renewable energy product relative to the default PowerOn product. Even with the additional charge, this still reflects a year-over-year average decrease of 16% for Power100 customers from our Board approved 2023 rates.
The SDCP Power100 service would add approximately 6% net impact to a residential customer’s total electric bill (including SDCP generation charges and SDG&E delivery charges) in the staff recommended rates – an increased cost of $9.78 more per month for the average resident compared to the PowerOn product.
Similar to the observations made during our last rate setting cycle, there is a material difference between the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) rate from 2023 and Reserves Projection FY 2022-2023 FY 2023-2024 FY 2024-2025 FY24 Budget (6/22/23) $143.5M $290.4M $82.5M
Recommendation $143.5M $232.3M $17.1M
Reserves (Recommendation) $186.0M $418.2M $435.3M
2024 associated with when customers transitioned from SDG&E’s bundled service and into SDCP service. The PCIA rate is the above-market cost of power associated with SDG&E’s portfolio that both SDG&E’s bundled customers as well as SDCP customers who have departed SDG&E commodity service pay. A customer is assigned a PCIA “vintage” based on the year they depart service from SDG&E. The proposed rates will be trifurcated across our Phase 1 and 2 customers enrolled in 2021, Phase 3 customers enrolled in 2022 and Phase 4 customers in National City and County of San Diego enrolled in 2023. Consistent with our Board-approved Rate Development policy, this trifurcation will ensure a fair, equitable, and balanced rate structure across our customers with differing vintage years that maintains the intended cost savings for all customers.
Summary
Overall, the rate changes recommend by staff for Board adoption in 2024 provide the following benefits for SDCP customers and the organization:
• A 17.7% year-over-year average decrease, from 2023 to 2024, in SDCP electricity generation rates across all customer classes. • A 23.2% year-over-year average decrease, from 2023 to 2024, in SDCP electricity generation winter rates and a 12.3% year-over-year average decrease in summer rates, across all customer classes.
• Renewable content (base product at 52% or 55% with zero or low carbon with SDCP versus a base product at 44.8% with SDG&E’s most recent 2022 Power Content Label, published in September 2023).
• Allows SDCP to maintain its current reserve levels and work toward a180-day cash on hand reserve target which will provide financial stability and support securing a credit rating.
• Satisfies credit obligations with lenders and power purchase agreements. • Prepares SDCP for market and cost shifts.
Staff also recommends adjusting the Power100 premium upwards from $0.0075/kWh to $0.01/kWh, effective as of July 1, 2024, to better reflect the increase in cost of procuring 100% renewable power.
COMMITTEE REVIEW
A report outlining the rate setting process was reviewed by the Finance and Risk Management Committee (FRMC) on January 11, 2023, and the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) on January 11, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of staff recommended rates would yield a projected reserve impact contribution of $20.3 million for the remainder of FY 2023-2024 and FY 2024-2025. In addition, this rate change proposal enables SDCP to maintain its reserves to achieve the strategic plan goal of achieving 180-days cash on hand by October 2025.

Staff Report – Item 15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: San Diego Community Power Board of Directors
From: Colin Santulli, Director of Programs
Sheena Tran, Senior Program Manager
Alyson Scurlock, Senior Program Associate
Subject: Approval of Acceptance, Appropriation, and Expenditure of Grant Funds from the California Department of Food and Agriculture (“CDFA”) for the Healthy Refrigeration Grant Program
Date: January 18, 2024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) to: (1) accept, appropriate, and expend CDFA grant funds for the Healthy Refrigeration Grant Program in an amount not to exceed $710,000; (2) execute a grant agreement with CDFA with respect to such grant funds and to negotiate and execute any amendments, extensions, or renewals of such grant agreement; and (3) take all necessary action to administer, monitor, manage, and ensure compliance with the grant agreement and to negotiate and execute contracts with third parties to implement the grant agreement or use of grant funds.
BACKGROUND
One of the recommended program types for implementation in the short-term in SDCP’s Community Power Plan is Pilot Programs, which are specified as small-scale, short-duration projects that can provide SDCP and stakeholders with data helpful for broader program delivery. At the May 25, 2023 Board of Directors (“Board”) meeting, Staff presented an update on initial pilot program concepts under exploration, including an ENERGY STAR Refrigerator/Freezer Upgrade pilot program that could serve small commercial customers.
In July 2023, SDCP staff applied for grant funds under the CDFA Healthy Refrigeration Grant Program. The program funds energy efficient refrigeration units in corner stores, small businesses, and food donation programs in low-income or low-access areas in the state to stock California-grown fresh produce, nuts, dairy, meat, eggs, and minimally processed and culturally appropriate foods. The purpose of the program is to improve access to healthy foods in underserved communities, while promoting California-grown agriculture.
On December 22, 2023, SDCP received an award letter from CDFA notifying SDCP that it was awarded partial funding in the amount of $710,000 to support SDCP in providing technical assistance and refrigeration units to stock healthy foods at stores throughout SDCP’s service territory. Full program details will be determined upon receipt of the grant agreement and associated scope from CDFA. Pursuant to the terms of the grant program, CDFA cannot reimburse SDCP for purchases made before a grant agreement between the parties is executed.
Staff expect to negotiate and execute a grant agreement with CDFA in Q1 2024 and to launch the pilot program in Q2/Q3 2024. Following execution of the agreement, Staff will develop program materials, start outreach, and issue solicitations as necessary to contract subconsultants to administer the technical assistance offerings.
The Board must authorize the acceptance, appropriation, and expenditure of the grant funds, or delegate this authority to an appropriate designee.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Section 3.2.9 of the Joint Powers Agreement (“JPA”), SDCP has the power, at the discretion of the Board, to apply for, accept, and receive all licenses, permits, grants, loans, or other aid from any federal, state, or local public agency. Pursuant to Section 4.6.16, the Board is responsible for exercising the Specific Powers identified in Section 3.2, except those which the Board may elect to delegate to the CEO. The CEO is not authorized under the JPA or the Board’s Budget Policy to accept, appropriate, and expend grant funds without Board approval.
The Board is authorized to do the following, and may delegate such authority to the CEO:
• Accept, appropriate, and expend the grant funds;
• Execute the grant agreement, and negotiate and execute any amendments, extensions, or renewals of the grant agreement;
• Take all necessary actions to administer, monitor, manage, and ensure compliance with the grant agreement; and
• Negotiate and execute contracts with third parties to implement the grant agreement or use of the grant funds.
COMMITTEE REVIEW
Due to the timing of the announcement, Staff were unable to bring an update to the January 11, 2024 Community Advisory Committee (“CAC”) meeting. Staff plan on providing this update at the February 8, 2024 CAC meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
The CDFA grant funding is expected to cover staff labor and program expenditures to implement the pilot program. All Program-related expenditures will comply with the SDCP Board-approved Procurement Policy.

Subject: Flex Load Strategy Update
Date: January 18, 2024
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the update on SDCP’s Flex Load Strategy.
BACKGROUND
Load flexibility is a critical element of California’s clean energy goals, as it supports decarbonization and grid reliability, while lowering costs and allowing for increased integration and use of renewable energy. Specifically, load flexibility can:
• Help align customer demand with the supply of clean energy, helping integrate new renewables onto the grid.
• Allow for the integration of new loads, while minimizing the requirement for additional generation and grid infrastructure.
• Support electric reliability during extreme climate-induced events, such as extreme heat events and wildfire-induced transmission outages.
The CPUC and CEC are actively working to realign the market around load flexibility and automated load shifting. These efforts include regulatory activities focused on dynamic rates and advanced demand flexibility, as well as EPIC-funded research, Title 24 building code changes, appliance standards, and an updated load management standard for CCA’s and other load serving entities (LSEs). In addition to its broader clean energy and grid resiliency value, load flexibility can also reduce the operating costs of CCAs by reducing the need to procure expensive on peak generation and by lowering the year ahead resource adequacy (RA) obligation.
Given this state’s focus on load flexibility and the operational benefits it can provide to SDCP, Staff has developed a flexible load strategy to be implemented across a range of programs. The strategy outlines target end use technologies, key points of integration with existing/planned programs, a proposed software architecture to drive device dispatch and control, as well as a framework to guide dispatch and device operations.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Purpose and Goals
The goal of the flex load strategy is to design and deliver a portfolio of programs that maximizes the size and value of SDCP’s flexible resource base. This will enable customer load optimization, delivering direct bill savings to participants, while reducing procurement risks and costs, and enabling lower rates for the broader community. Moreover, this approach will align our efforts with the broader policy goals of the state.
To achieve this goal, Staff developed a strategy that documented opportunities to incorporate load flexibility into program design, including DERMs/Aggregator agreements, qualified product lists (QPLs), and market integrations (e.g., CAISO), while minimizing impacts on participation requirements, costs, and complexity. Staff intends to design and implement a program portfolio that maximizes the flex load value of program participants, including procurement and implementation of required software systems (i.e., Distributed Energy Resource Management System or “DERMS”) and integration with Power Services.
What is Load Flexibility?
Load Flexibility (a.k.a. “Load Management,” “Demand Management,” “Demand Flexibility”) refers to the ability to adjust the power of an energy-consuming or -producing device or system to meet the operational needs of the grid or end-use customers. Flexible load technologies can shed energy usage during peak load periods (commonly referred to as “demand response” or “DR”) or shift energy usage to times when the grid is less congested, prices are lower, or generation is cleaner.
Load flexibility is central to California’s clean energy goals, supporting decarbonization and grid reliability, while lowering costs and allowing for increased use of renewables. • Load flexibility can help align customer demand with the supply of clean energy, helping integrate new renewables onto the grid.
• New loads can be made flexible from the outset, minimizing the requirement for additional generation and grid infrastructure.
• Load flexibility can help maintain electric reliability during extreme climate-induced events, such as extreme heat events and wildfire-induced transmission outages.
Flexible load is operationalized through the integration and control of distributed energy resources (DERs). The California Energy Commission (CEC) defines DERs as:
“a diverse category of devices and technologies that interface with the electricity system at the distribution level, either directly connected to a distribution utility’s wires or on an end-use customer’s premises. Examples include distributed generation and storage, electric vehicles and charging stations, and grid-interactive buildings, as well as demand response, flex loads, and energy efficiency strategies.”
DERs can be found across SDCP’s customer base, from residential and small businesses to large commercial, industrial, and institutional segments.
Program Portfolio and Integration Strategies
SDCP’s has several pilots and programs under development, including activities focused on energy efficiency, building electrification, managed electric vehicle charging, and energy storage. Each of these projects includes opportunities to incorporate load flexibility (Figure 1).
Figure 1 – Flexible load integration strategies that will be incorporated into SDCP’s program portfolio.
As planning activities move forward, Staff will focus on integrating flex load strategies into program design and delivery (Figure 2). These strategies will ensure that programs deliver the technical and financial assistance needed by customers, contractors, code officials, equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and other market actors to select, install, integrate, and operate flexible load resources.
Figure 2 – Flexible load integration strategies that will be incorporated into SDCP’s program portfolio.
Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS)
To support the integration and dispatch of customer DERs, SDCP plans to procure a Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS). A DERMS is a software platform that incorporates various data points, such as weather, market/price data, and customer preferences, to optimize the operation of DERs in support of various grid services (Figure 3).
Figure 3 – Illustrative example of simplified Distributed Energy Resource Management (DERMS) architecture.
The selection and implementation of a DERMS is central to the flexible load strategy.
Once operational, this system will allow SDCP to help customers reduce usage during high-cost on-peak periods, while managing portfolio-wide power procurement and resource adequacy costs and risk. The strategy calls for a three-phase rollout of DERMS capabilities, focused on minimizing costs and contracting risks, while at the same time building out infrastructure and operational expertise at a rate that will enable integration of the large-scale resource influx anticipated in 2025, with the launch of the SDREN and building electrification activities.
NEXT STEPS
Staff expect to begin the procurement process for the associated software architecture in late Q1 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff anticipates the first-year cost of a DERMS deployment to be approximately $500,000. Specific cost will be dependent on the RFP specification, bids received, contract structure, and program uptake. Staff does not anticipate these costs being incurred until the 2024-25 fiscal year.

SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY POWER
Staff Report – Item 17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: San Diego Community Power Board of Directors
From: Byron Vosburg, Managing Director, Power Services; and Kenny Key, Director of Power Contracts, Power Services
Via: Karin Burns, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Renewable Power Purchase Agreement with Pelicans Jaw Solar, LLC Date: January 18, 2024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the proposed Renewable Power Purchase Agreement with Pelicans Jaw Solar, LLC and authorize the CEO to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND
As San Diego Community Power (SDCP) strives to meet its environmental, financial, and regulatory compliance goals and requirements, long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) of at least 10 years in duration are integral components of its energy supply portfolio. Long-term PPAs provide renewable generation facility developers with the certain revenue stream against which they can finance up-front capital requirements, so each long-term PPA that SDCP signs with a developing facility will underpin a new, incremental renewable energy project. In addition, long-term PPAs lock in renewable energy supply around which SDCP can build its power supply portfolio while also providing power supply cost certainty around which SDCP can develop its pro forma financial model.
Moreover, the California Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), as modified in 2015 by Senate Bill 350, requires that SDCP provide 65% of its RPS-required renewable energy from contracts of at least ten years in length. In D.21-06-025, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) required each Load Serving Entity (LSE) in California to make significant long-term purchase commitments for resource adequacy from new, incremental generation facilities that will achieve commercial operation during 2023 through 2026. Further, as adopted March 23, 2023, SDCP has established a procurement target of 100% renewable by 2035.
The proposed PPA is for capacity and renewable energy benefits from a 226 MW solar and 118 MW (472 MWh) storage project (“Pelicans Jaw”) under development by Pelicans Jaw Solar, LLC, a subsidiary of SB Energy (“SBE”). The PPA originated from request for proposals SDCP issued in early 2023. SDCP engaged with SBE after short-listing the project and has reached terms mutually agreeable to both parties.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Staff negotiated the attached PPA for the purchase of renewable energy and capacity attributes from a 226 MW solar photovoltaic electricity generating facility, along with a 118 MWAC 4-hour (472 MWh) battery energy storage facility in Kern County.
Renewable energy produced by the facility will provide approximately 637,000 MWh annually of long-term renewable energy deliveries for SDCP’s power supply. Further, while SDCP is increasing efforts to target and encourage local project development for SDCP’s generation portfolio, SDCP expects a certain amount of geographic diversity among its power supply to help mitigate risks that might be experienced locally or regionally from weather, project site and/or wholesale market conditions.
Below is additional information regarding SBE and the proposed PPA.
Background on SBE:
• SBE is a California-based solar and storage developer, owning and operating 1.4 GWac of solar projects in US, including 450 MWac of solar projects operating in California with 3 GWac of solar and 4.5 GWac of storage in its California pipeline, including the Pelicans Jaw project.
• Founded in 2019, SBE is backed by SoftBank Group Corp. and Ares Climate Infrastructure, allowing SBE to finance 100% of the projects it develops, owns, and operates.
• In December 2023, SBE received "Renewables Deal of the Year" award from Project Finance International (PFI) for reaching financial close on 1.3 GWs of solar projects and being among the first to take advantage of the domestic content adder, a provision in the IRA designed to strengthen America’s manufacturing base.
• SBE is sourcing solar modules, trackers, and structural steel domestically for several of its projects.

(c) Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedies for Seller’s failure to achieve the Guaranteed Storage Availability and the Guaranteed Efficiency Rate are: (i) for the Guaranteed Storage Availability, (A) the Availability Adjustment Payment, as set forth in Exhibit P, and (B) the Seller Event of Default as set forth in Section 11.1(b)(vii) and the applicable remedies set forth in Article 11; and (ii) for the Guaranteed Efficiency Rate, (A) the liquidated damages for failure to achieve the Guaranteed Efficiency Rate, as set forth in Exhibit C, and (B) the Seller Event of Default as set forth in Section 11.1(b)(x).
4.9 Storage Capacity Tests.
(a) Prior to the Commercial Operation Date, Seller shall schedule and complete a Storage Capacity Test in accordance with Exhibit O. Thereafter, Seller and Buyer shall have the right to run retests of the Storage Capacity Test in accordance with Exhibit O. (b) Buyer shall have the right to send one or more representative(s) to witness all Storage Capacity Tests. Alternatively, to the extent that any Storage Capacity Tests are done remotely, and no representatives are needed on site, Seller shall arrange for both Parties to have access to all applicable data and other information arising out of such tests. Buyer shall be responsible for all costs, expenses and fees payable or reimbursable to its representative(s) witnessing any Storage Capacity Test. For any Storage Capacity Tests initiated by Seller (“Seller Initiated Test”), including all tests conducted prior to Commercial Operation, any Commercial Operation Storage Capacity Test, any Storage Capacity Test conducted if the Storage Contract Capacity immediately prior to such Storage Capacity Test is below of the Installed Battery Capacity, and other Seller-requested discretionary tests or dispatches, Seller shall (i) not be entitled to the Renewable Rate for associated Charging Energy, (ii) be liable for all CAISO costs and charges for associated Charging Energy, and (iii) be entitled to any CAISO revenues associated with Discharging Energy. For any Storage Capacity Tests initiated by Buyer, including any test required by CAISO and all required annual tests pursuant to Exhibit O (“Buyer Dispatched Test”), Buyer shall (x) pay Seller the Renewable Rate for associated Charging Energy, (y) be liable for all CAISO costs and charged for associated Charging Energy, and (z) be entitled to any CAISO revenues associated with associated Discharging Energy. No Charging Notices or Discharging Notices shall be issued during any Seller Initiated Test. Charging Notices or Discharging Notices may be issued during a Buyer Dispatched Test as reasonably necessary to

43 implement the applicable test. The Storage Facility shall be deemed unavailable during any Seller Initiated Test. Any Buyer Dispatched Test shall be deemed an Excused Event for the purposes of calculating the Annual Storage Availability.
(c) Following each Storage Capacity Test, Seller shall submit a testing report in accordance with Exhibit O. If the actual capacity or efficiency rate determined pursuant to a Storage Capacity Test varies from the then current Storage Contract Capacity and/or Efficiency Rate, as applicable, then the actual capacity and/or efficiency rate, as applicable, determined pursuant to such Storage Capacity Test shall become the new Storage Contract Capacity (not to exceed the original Storage Contract Capacity set forth on the Cover Sheet, as such original Storage Contract Capacity on the Cover Sheet may have been adjusted (if at all) pursuant to Section 5 of Exhibit B) and/or Efficiency Rate at the beginning of the day following the completion of the test for all purposes under this Agreement, including compensation under Exhibit C, until a revised Storage Contract Capacity and/or Efficiency Rate, as applicable, is established pursuant to a subsequent Storage Capacity Test.
4.10 WREGIS. Seller shall, at its sole expense, take all actions and execute all documents or instruments necessary to ensure that all WREGIS Certificates associated with all Renewable Energy Credits corresponding to all Generating Facility Energy or Facility Energy, as applicable, are issued and tracked for purposes of satisfying the requirements of the California Renewables Portfolio Standard and transferred in a timely manner to Buyer for Buyer’s sole benefit. Seller shall transfer the Renewable Energy Credits to Buyer. Seller shall comply with all Laws, including the WREGIS Operating Rules, regarding the certification and transfer of such WREGIS Certificates to Buyer and Buyer shall be given sole title to all such WREGIS Certificates. (a) Prior to the Commercial Operation Date, Seller shall register the Facility with WREGIS and establish an account with WREGIS (“Seller’s WREGIS Account”), which Seller shall maintain until the end of the Delivery Term. Seller shall transfer the WREGIS Certificates using “Forward Certificate Transfers” (as described in the WREGIS Operating Rules) from Seller’s WREGIS Account to the WREGIS account(s) of Buyer or the account(s) of a designee that Buyer identifies by Notice to Seller (“Buyer’s WREGIS Account”). Seller shall be responsible for all expenses associated with registering the Facility with WREGIS, establishing and maintaining Seller’s WREGIS Account, paying WREGIS Certificate issuance and transfer fees, and transferring WREGIS Certificates from Seller’s WREGIS Account to Buyer’s WREGIS Account.
(b) Seller shall cause Forward Certificate Transfers to occur on a monthly basis in accordance with the certification procedure established by the WREGIS Operating Rules. Since WREGIS Certificates will only be created for whole MWh amounts of Facility Energy generated, any fractional MWh amounts (i.e., kWh) will be carried forward until sufficient generation is accumulated for the creation of a WREGIS Certificate.
(c) Seller shall, at its sole expense, ensure that the WREGIS Certificates for a given calendar month correspond with the Generating Facility Energy or Facility Energy, as applicable, for such calendar month as evidenced by the Facility’s metered data.

44 (d) Due to the ninety (90) day delay in the creation of WREGIS Certificates relative to the timing of invoice payment under Section 8.2, Buyer shall make an invoice payment for a given month in accordance with Section 8.2 before the WREGIS Certificates for such month are formally transferred to Buyer in accordance with the WREGIS Operating Rules and this Section 4.10. Notwithstanding this delay, Buyer shall have all right and title to all such WREGIS Certificates upon payment to Seller in accordance with Section 8.2. (e) A “WREGIS Certificate Deficit” means any deficit or shortfall in WREGIS Certificates delivered to Buyer for a calendar month as compared to the Generating Facility Energy for the same calendar month (“Deficient Month”) caused by an error or omission of Seller. If any WREGIS Certificate Deficit is caused, or the result of any action or inaction by Seller, then the amount of Facility Energy in the Deficient Month shall be reduced by the amount of the WREGIS Certificate Deficit for purposes of calculating Buyer’s payment to Seller under Article 8 and damages, if any, under Exhibit G for the applicable Contract Year; provided, however, that such adjustment shall not apply to the extent that Seller (x) resolves the WREGIS Certificate Deficit within ninety (90) days after the Deficient Month or (y) provides Replacement Green Attributes within ninety (90) days after the Deficient Month (i) upon a schedule reasonably acceptable to Buyer and (ii) provided that such deliveries do not impose additional costs upon Buyer for which Seller refuses to provide reimbursement. Without limiting Seller’s obligations under this Section 4.10, if a WREGIS Certificate Deficit is caused solely by an error or omission of WREGIS, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to cause WREGIS to correct its error or omission.
(f) Subject to Section 3.12, if (i) WREGIS changes the WREGIS Operating Rules after the Effective Date or applies the WREGIS Operating Rules in a manner inconsistent with this Section 4.10 after the Effective Date, or (ii) the CEC modifies its RPS Eligibility Guidebook to enable the full amount of Generating Facility Energy to generate WREGIS Certificates, without reduction for Storage Facility efficiency losses, the Parties promptly shall modify this Section 4.10 as reasonably required to cause and enable Seller to transfer to Buyer’s WREGIS Account a quantity of WREGIS Certificates for each given calendar month that corresponds to the maximum quantity of WREGIS Certificates that can be transferred to Buyer from the Generating Facility in the same calendar month.
4.11 Interconnection. Seller shall be responsible for all costs of interconnecting the Facility to the Interconnection Point. During the Delivery Term, Seller shall have and maintain interconnection capacity available or allocable to the Facility that is no less than the Dedicated Interconnection Capacity; provided that Buyer acknowledges that such interconnection capacity is subject to reduction, limitation, or curtailment as set forth in the Interconnection Agreement.
4.12 Green-E Certification. Upon request of Buyer and subject to Section 3.12, Seller shall submit, a Green-e® Energy Tracking Attestation Form (“Attestation”) for Product delivered under this Agreement to the Center for Resource Solutions (“CRS”) at https://www.tfaforms.com/4652008 or its successor. Subject to Section 3.12, the Attestation shall be submitted in accordance with the requirements of CRS and shall be submitted within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s request or the last day of the month in which the applicable Generating Facility Energy was generated, whichever is later.

46 agreements to be entered into among Seller, the Transmission Provider, Seller’s Affiliates, and/or third parties. Seller agrees that any agreements regarding Shared Facilities (i) shall permit Seller to perform or satisfy, and shall not purport to limit, Seller’s obligations hereunder, including providing interconnection capacity for the Facility’s sole use in an amount not less than the Dedicated Interconnection Capacity, (ii) shall provide for separate metering and a separate CAISO Resource ID for the Facility, (iii) shall provide that any other generating or energy storage facilities not included in the Facility but using Shared Facilities shall not be included within the Facility’s CAISO Resource IDs; and (iv) shall provide that any curtailment of the full capacity of Shared Facilities that is ordered by Transmission Provider that Seller and its Affiliates have discretion to allocate across generating or energy storage facilities using the Shared Facilities shall not be allocated to the Facility more than its pro rata portion of the total capacity of all generating or energy storage facilities using the Shared Facilities. Seller shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate to, allocate to other parties a share of the total interconnection capacity under the Interconnection Agreement in excess of an amount equal to the total interconnection capacity under the Interconnection Agreement minus the Dedicated Interconnection Capacity.
ARTICLE 7
METERING
7.1 Metering.
(a) Unless the Parties agree otherwise pursuant to Section 3.13, the Facility shall have a single CAISO Resource ID for the Facility, which is a combination of the Generating Facility and the Storage Facility. Seller shall measure the amount of Generating Facility Energy using the Generating Facility Meter. Seller shall measure the Charging Energy and the Discharging Energy using the Storage Facility Meter. All meters will be operated pursuant to applicable CAISO-approved calculation methodologies and maintained at Seller’s cost. Subject to meeting any applicable CAISO requirements, the Generating Facility Meter and Storage Facility Meter shall be programmed to adjust for Electrical Losses and Station Use, as applicable, from such meters to the Delivery Point in a manner subject to Buyer’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. Seller shall separately meter all Station Use. Metering shall be consistent with the Metering Diagram set forth as Exhibit R, a final version of which shall be provided to Buyer at least thirty (30) days before the Commercial Operation Date. Each Generating Facility Meter and Storage Facility Meter shall be kept under seal, such seals to be broken only when the meters are to be tested, adjusted, modified or relocated. In the event Seller breaks a seal, Seller shall notify Buyer as soon as practicable. In addition, Seller hereby agrees to provide all meter data to Buyer in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and consents to Buyer obtaining from CAISO the CAISO meter data directly relating to the Facility and all inspection, testing and calibration data and reports. Seller and Buyer, or Buyer’s Scheduling Coordinator, shall cooperate to allow both Parties to retrieve the meter reads from the CAISO Market Results Interface – Settlements (MRI-S) (or its successor) or directly from the CAISO meter(s) at the Facility.
7.2 Meter Verification. Seller shall test the Generating Facility Meter and Storage Facility Meter at least annually and more frequently than annually if Buyer or Seller reasonably believe there may be a meter malfunction. The tests shall be conducted by independent third parties qualified to conduct such tests. Buyer shall be notified seven (7) days in advance of such tests and

47 have a right to be present during such tests. If a meter is inaccurate, it shall be promptly repaired or replaced. If a meter is inaccurate by more than one percent (1%) and it is not known when the meter inaccuracy commenced (if such evidence exists such date will be used to adjust prior invoices), then the invoices covering the period of time since the last meter test shall be adjusted for the amount of the inaccuracy on the assumption that the inaccuracy persisted during one-half of such period so long as such adjustments are accepted by CAISO and WREGIS; provided, such period may not exceed twelve (12) months.
ARTICLE 8
INVOICING AND PAYMENT; CREDIT
8.1 Invoicing. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver an invoice to Buyer within ten (10) days after the end of the prior monthly delivery period. Each invoice shall (a) include records of metered data, including CAISO metering and transaction data sufficient to document and verify the amount of Product delivered by the Facility for any Settlement Period during the preceding month, including the amount of Generating Facility Energy, Charging Energy, Discharging Energy, and Replacement RA delivered to Buyer (if any); the calculation of Deemed Delivered Energy, Lost Output, and Adjusted Energy Production; the LMP prices at the Delivery Point for each Settlement Period; and the Contract Price applicable to such Product in accordance with Exhibit C; (b) reflect any records, including invoices or settlement data from the CAISO, necessary to verify the accuracy of any amount; and (c) be in a format reasonably specified by Buyer, covering the services provided in the preceding month determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Scheduling Coordinator to, provide Seller with all reasonable access (including, in real time, to the maximum extent reasonably possible) to any records, including invoices or settlement data from the CAISO, forecast data and other information, all as may be necessary from time to time for Seller to prepare and verify the accuracy of all invoices. The invoice shall be delivered by electronic mail in accordance with Exhibit N.
8.2 Payment. Buyer shall make payment to Seller for Product by wire transfer or ACH payment to the bank account provided on each monthly invoice. Buyer shall pay undisputed invoice amounts within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s invoices; provided, if such due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, such due date shall be the next Business Day.
Payments made after the due date will be considered late and will bear interest on the unpaid balance. If the amount due is not paid on or before the due date or if any other payment that is due and owing from one Party to another is not paid on or before its applicable due date, a late payment charge shall be applied to the unpaid balance and shall be added to the next billing statement. Such late payment charge shall be calculated based on the 3-Month prime rate (or any equivalent successor rate accepted by a majority of major financial institutions) published on the date of the invoice in The Wall Street Journal (or, if The Wall Street Journal is not published on that day, the next succeeding date of publication), plus two percent (2%) (the “Interest Rate”). If the due date occurs on a day that is not a Business Day, the late payment charge shall begin to accrue on the next succeeding Business Day.
8.3 Books and Records. To facilitate payment and verification, each Party shall maintain all books and records necessary for billing and payments, including copies of all invoices

48 under this Agreement, for a period of at least five (5) years or as otherwise required by Law. Upon ten (10) Business Days’ Notice to the other Party, either Party shall be granted access to the accounting books and records within the possession or control of the other Party pertaining to all invoices generated pursuant to this Agreement. Seller acknowledges that in accordance with California Government Code Section 8546.7, Seller may be subject to audit by the California State Auditor with regard to Seller’s performance of this Agreement because the compensation under this Agreement exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000).
8.4 Invoice Adjustments. Invoice adjustments shall be made if (a) there have been good faith inaccuracies in invoicing or payment that are not otherwise disputed under Section 8.5, (b) an adjustment to an amount previously invoiced or paid is required due to a correction of data by the CAISO, or pursuant to a Storage Capacity Test, or (c) there have been meter inaccuracies; provided, however, that there shall be no adjustments to prior invoices based upon meter inaccuracies expect to the extent that such meter adjustments are accepted by CAISO for revenue purposes. If the required adjustment is in favor of Buyer, Buyer’s next monthly payment shall be credited in an amount equal to the adjustment. If the required adjustment is in favor of Seller, Seller shall add the adjustment amount to Buyer’s next monthly invoice. Adjustments in favor of either Buyer or Seller shall bear interest, until settled in full, in accordance with Section 8.2, accruing from the date on which the adjusted amount should have been due.
8.5 Billing Disputes. A Party may, in good faith, dispute the correctness of any invoice or any adjustment to an invoice rendered under this Agreement or adjust any invoice for any arithmetic or computational error within twelve (12) months of the date the invoice, or adjustment to an invoice, was rendered. In the event an invoice or portion thereof, or any other claim or adjustment arising hereunder, is disputed, payment of the undisputed portion of the invoice shall be required to be made when due. Any invoice dispute or invoice adjustment shall be in writing and shall state the basis for the dispute or adjustment. Payment of the disputed amount shall not be required until the dispute is resolved. Upon resolution of the dispute, any required payment shall be made within five (5) Business Days of such resolution along with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from and including the original due date to but excluding the date paid. Inadvertent overpayments shall be returned via adjustments in accordance with Section 8.4. Any dispute with respect to an invoice is waived if the other Party is not notified in accordance with this Section 8.5 within twelve (12) months after the invoice is rendered or subsequently adjusted, except to the extent any misinformation was from a third party not affiliated with any Party and such third party corrects its information after the twelve-month period. If an invoice is not rendered within twelve (12) months after the close of the month during which performance occurred, the right to payment for such performance is waived.
8.6 Netting of Payments. The Parties hereby agree that they shall discharge mutual debts and payment obligations due and owing to each other on the same date through netting, in which case all amounts owed by each Party to the other Party for the purchase and sale of Product during the monthly billing period under this Agreement or otherwise arising out of this Agreement, including any related damages calculated pursuant to Exhibits B and P, interest, and payments or credits, shall be netted so that only the excess amount remaining due shall be paid by the Party who owes it.

Except as provided in Section 4 of Exhibit B, neither Seller nor Buyer shall be liable to the other Party in the event it is prevented from performing its obligations hereunder in whole or in part due to a Force Majeure Event. The Party rendered unable to fulfill any obligation by reason of a Force Majeure Event shall take reasonable actions necessary to remove such inability with due speed and diligence. Nothing herein shall be construed as permitting that Party to continue to fail to perform after said cause has been removed. The obligation to use due speed and diligence shall not be interpreted to require resolution of labor disputes by acceding to demands of the opposition when such course is inadvisable in the discretion of the Party having such difficulty. Neither Party shall be considered in breach or default of this Agreement if and to the extent that any failure or delay in the Party’s performance of one or more of its obligations hereunder is caused by a Force Majeure Event. The occurrence and continuation of a Force Majeure Event shall not suspend or excuse the obligation of a Party to make any payments due hereunder.

11.6 apply, unless the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms set forth in this Section 11.6 pursuant to a written agreement approved by Buyer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from all benefits lost and other damages sustained by Buyer as a result of any breach by Seller of its covenants contained within this Section 11.6.

16.1 Indemnity.
(a) Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) from and against all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, penalties, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (i) for personal injury or death to Persons and damage to the property of any third party to the extent arising out of, resulting from, or caused by the negligent or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party, its Affiliates, its directors, officers, employees, or agents, or (ii) for third-party claims resulting from the Indemnifying Party’s breach (including inaccuracy of any representation of warranty made hereunder), performance or non-performance of its obligations under this Agreement (“Indemnifiable Losses”).
(b) Nothing in this Section shall enlarge or relieve Seller or Buyer of any liability to the other for any breach of this Agreement. Neither Party shall be indemnified for its damages resulting from its sole negligence, intentional acts, or willful misconduct. These indemnity provisions shall not be construed to relieve any insurer of its obligations to pay claims consistent with the provisions of a valid insurance policy.
16.2 Claims. Promptly after receipt by a Party of any claim or Notice of the commencement of any action, administrative, or legal proceeding, or investigation as to which the indemnity provided for in this Article 16 may apply, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such fact. The Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof with counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party and satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to, or inconsistent with, those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select and be represented by separate counsel, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, unless a liability insurer is willing to pay such costs. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of a claim meriting indemnification, the Indemnified Party may at the expense of the Indemnifying Party contest, settle, or pay such claim, provided that settlement or full payment of any such claim may be made only following consent of the Indemnifying Party or, absent such consent, written opinion of the Indemnified Party’s counsel that such claim is meritorious or warrants settlement. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 16, in the event that a Party is obligated to indemnify and hold the other Party and its successors and assigns harmless under this Article 16, the amount owing to the Indemnified Party will be the amount of the Indemnified Party’s damages net of any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party following a reasonable effort by the Indemnified Party to obtain such insurance proceeds.

Exhibit C - 1
EXHIBIT C
COMPENSATION
Buyer shall compensate Seller for the Product in accordance with this Exhibit C. (a) Renewable Rate. Buyer shall pay Seller the Renewable Rate for each MWh of Generating Facility Energy, plus Deemed Delivered Energy in excess of the Curtailment Cap, if any, up to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Expected Energy for each Contract Year. = (b) Excess Contract Year Deliveries Over 110%. If, at any point in any Contract Year, the amount of Generating Facility Energy plus the amount of Deemed Delivered Energy in excess of the Curtailment Cap exceeds one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Expected Energy for such Contract Year, the price to be paid for additional Generating Facility Energy or Deemed Delivered Energy shall be equal to the lesser of (a) the Delivery Point LMP for the Real Time Market for the applicable Settlement Interval or (b) of the Renewable Rate, but not less than $0.00/MWh. If, at any point in any Contract Year, the amount of Generating Facility Energy plus the amount of Deemed Delivered Energy in excess of the Curtailment Cap exceeds of the Expected Energy for such Contract Year, no payment shall be owed by Buyer for any additional Generating Facility Energy or Deemed Delivered Energy.
(c) Excess Settlement Interval Deliveries. If during any Settlement Interval, Seller delivers Product amounts, as measured by the amount of Generating Facility Energy, in excess of the product of the Installed Generating Capacity multiplied by the duration of the Settlement Interval, expressed in hours (“Excess MWh”), then the price applicable to all such excess MWh in such Settlement Interval shall be zero dollars ($0), and if there is a Negative LMP during such Settlement Interval, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the absolute value of the Negative LMP times such excess MWh (“Negative LMP Costs”). (d) Curtailment Payments. Seller shall receive no compensation from Buyer for (i). Generating Facility Energy that is curtailed during any Curtailment Period, and (ii) Deemed Delivered Energy in amounts below the Curtailment Cap. Buyer shall pay for Deemed Delivered Energy above the Curtailment Cap at the Renewable Rate. The “Curtailment Cap” equals the Expected Energy per Contract Year, in MWh, equal to multiplied by the Guaranteed Capacity.
(e) Storage Payment. Each month of the Delivery Term (and pro-rated for the first and last month of the Delivery Term if the Delivery Term does not start on the first day of a calendar month), Buyer shall pay Seller a payment (“Storage Payment”) equal to the Storage Rate multiplied by the Storage Contract Capacity for such month; provided, however, that:
Exhibit C - 2
Such payment constitutes the entirety of the amount due to Seller from Buyer for the Storage Product. If the Storage Contract Capacity and/or Efficiency Rate are adjusted pursuant to a Capacity Test effective as of a day other than the first day of a calendar month, payment shall be calculated separately for each portion of the month in which the different Storage Contract Capacity and/or Efficiency Rate are applicable. The Storage Payment is also subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 3.8(b), if applicable.
(f) Liquidated Damages for Failure to Achieve Guaranteed Efficiency Rate. If during any month during the Delivery Term, the time-weighted-average Efficiency Rate applicable to such month is less than the Guaranteed Efficiency Rate, Seller shall owe liquidated damages to Buyer, which damages shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the total Charging Energy for such month, by (ii) the percentage amount by which such time-weighted-average Efficiency Rate is less than the Guaranteed Efficiency Rate, by (iii) the simple average of the Real-Time Market LMP at the Delivery Point during intervals in which the Storage Facility was charging during such month, which amount Seller shall set off against amounts payable by Buyer in the applicable monthly invoice.
(g) PTC Amount. If applicable, for new eligible PTC resources, during the period (not to exceed a total of one hundred twenty (120) consecutive months) in which Seller is receiving PTCs, Buyer shall also pay the PTC Amount for Deemed Delivered Energy in excess of the Curtailment Cap until the sum of Generating Facility Energy plus the amount of Deemed Delivered Energy in excess of the Curtailment Cap exceeds one hundred percent (100%) of the Expected Energy for such Contract Year.
(h) Test Energy. Test Energy is compensated in accordance with Section 3.6. (i) Tax Credits. The Parties agree that the neither the Renewable Rate, the Storage Rate nor the Test Energy Rate are subject to adjustment or amendment if Seller fails to receive any Tax Credits, or if any Tax Credits expire, are repealed or otherwise cease to apply to Seller or the Facility in whole or in part, or Seller or its investors are unable to benefit from any Tax Credits.

Exhibit D - 1
EXHIBIT D
SCHEDULING COORDINATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) Buyer as Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility. Prior to the Commercial Operation Date, Seller shall be the Scheduling Coordinator or designate a qualified third party to provide Scheduling Coordinator services with the CAISO for the Facility. Upon the Commercial Operation Date, Buyer shall be the Scheduling Coordinator or designate a qualified third party to provide Scheduling Coordinator services with the CAISO for the Facility for both the delivery and the receipt (as applicable) of Charging Energy, Facility Energy and the Product at the Delivery Point. At least thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Commercial Operation Date, (i) Seller shall take all actions and execute and deliver to Buyer and the CAISO all documents necessary to authorize or designate Buyer (or Buyer’s designee) as the Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility effective as of the then-anticipated Commercial Operation Date, and (ii) Buyer shall, and shall cause its designee to, take all actions and execute and deliver to Seller and the CAISO all documents necessary to authorize or designate Buyer or its designee as the Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility effective as of the then-anticipated Commercial Operation Date. Except with Buyer’s prior consent, Seller shall not declare a Commercial Operation Date that is earlier than the anticipated Commercial Operation Date provided to CAISO as the date for the transition from Seller’s Scheduling Coordinator to Buyer’s Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility pursuant to the prior sentence. The Parties acknowledge that they will need to provide the CAISO a fixed date for the transition of the Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility and that the actual Commercial Operation Date may be later than the date on which Buyer or its designee becomes recognized by CAISO as the Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility. The Parties will cooperate reasonably to minimize any such period and to coordinate CAISO scheduling for the Facility during such period, and Buyer will pass through to Seller all CAISO settlements relating to the Facility with respect to the period prior to the Commercial Operation Date promptly after Buyer or its designee receives such settlements from the CAISO. On and after the Commercial Operation Date, Seller shall not authorize or designate any other party to act as the Facility’s Scheduling Coordinator, nor shall Seller perform for its own benefit the duties of Scheduling Coordinator, and Seller shall not revoke Buyer’s authorization to act as the Facility’s Scheduling Coordinator unless agreed to by Buyer.
Buyer (as the Facility’s SC) shall submit Schedules to the CAISO in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable CAISO Tariff, protocols and Scheduling practices for Product on a day-ahead, hour-ahead, fifteen-minute market or real time basis, as determined by Buyer. (b) Notices. Buyer (as the Facility’s SC) shall provide Seller with access to a web-based system through which Seller shall submit to Buyer and the CAISO all notices and updates required under the CAISO Tariff regarding the Facility’s status, including, but not limited to, all outage requests, forced outages, forced outage reports, clearance requests, or must offer waiver forms. Seller will cooperate with Buyer to provide such notices and updates. If the web-based system is not available, Seller shall promptly submit such information to Buyer and the CAISO (in order of preference) telephonically, by electronic mail, transmission to the personnel designated to receive such information.
(c) CAISO Costs and Revenues. Except as otherwise set forth below, Buyer (as Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility) shall be responsible for CAISO costs (including Charging Energy costs, penalties, Imbalance Energy costs, and other charges) and shall be entitled Exhibit D - 2
to all CAISO revenues (including credits, Imbalance Energy revenues, and other payments), including revenues associated with CAISO dispatches, bid cost recovery, Inter-SC Trade credits, or other credits in respect of the Product Scheduled or delivered from the Facility. Seller shall assume all liability and reimburse Buyer for any and all Non-Availability Charges (as defined in the CAISO Tariff) and similar charges assessed against Buyer (as Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility) based on the Facility’s failure to meet performance obligations applicable to the Facility as a Resource Adequacy Resource; provided that any Availability Incentive Payments (as defined in the CAISO Tariff) are for the benefit of Seller and for Seller’s account and that any such Non-Availability Charges (as defined in the CAISO Tariff) or similar charges are the responsibility of Seller and for Seller’s account (except to the extent such Non-Availability Charges or similar charges arise out of Buyer’s failure to perform its duties as Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility). In addition, if during the Delivery Term, the CAISO implements or has implemented any sanction or penalty related to outage reporting or generator operation, and any such sanctions or penalties are imposed upon the Facility or to Buyer as Scheduling Coordinator due to failure by Seller to abide by the CAISO Tariff or any CAISO directive, or to perform in accordance with the outage notification requirements set forth in this Agreement, the cost of the sanctions or penalties shall be Seller’s responsibility (except to the extent such sanctions or penalties arise out of Buyer’s failure to perform its duties as Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility). (d) CAISO Settlements. Buyer (as the Facility’s SC) shall be responsible for all settlement functions with the CAISO related to the Facility with respect to the Delivery Term.
Buyer shall render a separate invoice to Seller for any CAISO payments, charges or penalties (“CAISO Charges Invoice”) for which Seller is responsible under this Agreement. CAISO Charges Invoices shall be rendered after settlement information becomes available from the CAISO that identifies any CAISO charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that the CAISO will issue additional invoices reflecting CAISO adjustments to such CAISO charges. Buyer will review, validate, and if requested by Seller under paragraph (e) below, dispute any charges that are the responsibility of Seller in a timely manner and consistent with Buyer’s existing settlement processes for charges that are Buyer’s responsibilities. Subject to Seller’s right to dispute and to have Buyer pursue the dispute of any such invoices, Seller shall pay the amount of CAISO Charges Invoices within ten (10) Business Days of Seller’s receipt of the CAISO Charges Invoice. If Seller fails to pay such CAISO Charges Invoice within that period, Buyer may net or offset any amounts owing to it for these CAISO Charges Invoices against any future amounts it may owe to Seller under this Agreement. The obligations under this Section with respect to payment of CAISO Charges Invoices for performance prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. (e) Dispute Costs. Buyer (as the Facility’s SC) may be required by Seller to dispute CAISO settlements in respect of the Facility. Seller agrees to pay Buyer’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) associated with its involvement with such CAISO disputes to the extent they relate to CAISO charges payable by Seller with respect to the Facility that Seller has directed Buyer to dispute, except to the extent such dispute arises from Buyer’s failure to perform its duties as Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility. (f) Terminating Buyer’s Designation as Scheduling Coordinator. At least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of this Agreement or as soon as reasonably practicable upon an earlier termination of this Agreement, the Parties will take all actions necessary to terminate the Exhibit D - 3
designation of Buyer as Scheduling Coordinator for the Facility as of 11:59 p.m. on such expiration date.
(g) Master File and Resource Data Template. Seller shall provide the data to the CAISO (and to Buyer) that is required for the CAISO’s Master File and Resource Data Template (or successor data systems) for the Facility consistent with this Agreement. Neither Party shall change such data without the other Party’s prior written consent. At least once per Contract Year, Seller shall review and confirm that the data provided for the CAISO’s Master File and Resource Data Template (or successor data systems) for this Facility remains consistent with the actual operating characteristics of the Facility and update such data as appropriate. (h) NERC Reliability Standards. Buyer (as Scheduling Coordinator) shall cooperate reasonably with Seller to the extent necessary to enable Seller to comply, and for Seller to demonstrate Seller’s compliance with, NERC reliability standards. This cooperation shall include the provision of information in Buyer’s possession that Buyer (as Scheduling Coordinator) has provided to the CAISO related to the Facility or actions taken by Buyer (as Scheduling Coordinator) related to Seller’s compliance with NERC reliability standards.

FORM OF GUARANTY
This Guaranty (this “Guaranty”) is entered into as of [_____] (the “Effective Date”) by and between [_____], a [______] (“Guarantor”), and San Diego Community Power, a California joint powers authority (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “Buyer”).
Recitals
A. Buyer and [SELLER ENTITY], a _____________________ (“Seller”), entered into that certain Renewable Power Purchase and Energy Storage Service Agreement (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “PPA”) dated as of [____], 20___.
B. Guarantor is entering into this Guaranty as Performance Security to secure Seller’s payment obligations under the PPA, as required by Section 8.8 of the PPA.
C. It is in the best interest of Guarantor to execute this Guaranty inasmuch as Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the execution and delivery of the PPA.
D. Initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the PPA.
Agreement
1. Guaranty. For value received, Guarantor does hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantee, as primary obligor and not as a surety, to Buyer the full, complete and prompt payment by Seller of any and all amounts and payment obligations now or hereafter owing from Seller to Buyer under the PPA, including, without limitation, compensation for penalties, the Termination Payment, indemnification payments or other damages, as and when required pursuant to the terms of the PPA (the “Guaranteed Amount”). The Parties understand and agree that any payment by Guarantor or Seller of any portion of the Guaranteed Amount shall thereafter reduce Guarantor’s maximum aggregate liability hereunder on a dollar-for-dollar basis. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, unconditional and continuing guarantee of the full and punctual payment, and not of collection, of the Guaranteed Amount and, except as otherwise expressly addressed herein, is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Buyer first attempt to collect the payment of the Guaranteed Amount from Seller, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Amount or any other Person or entity or resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Amount. In the event Seller shall fail to duly, completely or punctually pay any Guaranteed Amount as required pursuant to the PPA, Guarantor shall promptly pay such amount as required herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, the Guaranteed Amount shall in no circumstances exceed the amount of Seller’s Performance Security under the PPA, provided that Seller shall remain subject to the replenishment obligation pursuant to Section 8.8 of the PPA following a draw of the Performance Security.
2. Demand Notice. For avoidance of doubt, a payment shall be due for purposes of this Guaranty only when and if a payment is due and payable by Seller to Buyer under the terms and Exhibit L - 2
conditions of the PPA. If Seller fails to pay any Guaranteed Amount as required pursuant to the PPA for five (5) Business Days following Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s written notice of such failure (the “Demand Notice”), then Buyer may elect to exercise its rights under this Guaranty and may make a demand upon Guarantor (a “Payment Demand”) for such unpaid Guaranteed Amount. A Payment Demand shall be in writing and shall reasonably specify in what manner and what amount Seller has failed to pay and an explanation of why such payment is due and owing, with a specific statement that Buyer is requesting that Guarantor pay under this Guaranty. Guarantor shall, within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of the Payment Demand, pay the Guaranteed Amount to Buyer.
3. Scope and Duration of Guaranty. This Guaranty applies only to the Guaranteed Amount.
This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect from the Effective Date until the earlier of the following: (x) all Guaranteed Amounts have been paid in full (whether directly or indirectly through set-off or netting of amounts owed by Buyer to Seller), or (y) replacement Performance Security is provided in an amount and form required by the terms of the PPA. Further, this Guaranty (a) shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be affected or impaired by any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability in whole or in part of this Guaranty, and (b) subject to the preceding sentence, shall be discharged only by complete performance of the undertakings herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released, discharged, or otherwise affected and this Guaranty shall not be invalidated or impaired or otherwise affected for the following reasons:
(i) the extension of time for the payment of any Guaranteed Amount (except any such extension provided by duly executed amendment to the PPA), or (ii) any amendment, modification or other alteration of the PPA, or (iii) any indemnity agreement Seller may have from any party, or (iv) any insurance that may be available to cover any loss, except to the extent insurance proceeds are used to satisfy the Guaranteed Amount, or
(v) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, Seller or any of its assets, including but not limited to any rejection or other discharge of Seller’s obligations under the PPA imposed by any court, trustee or custodian or any similar official or imposed by any law, statue or regulation, in each such event in any such proceeding, or
(vi) the release, modification, waiver or failure to pursue or seek relief with respect to any other guaranty, pledge or security device whatsoever, or (vii) any payment to Buyer by Seller that Buyer subsequently returns to Seller pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy or other debtor-relief proceeding, or (viii) those defenses based upon (A) the legal incapacity or lack of power or authority of any Person, including Seller and any representative of Seller to enter into the PPA or perform its obligations thereunder, (B) lack of due execution, delivery, validity or enforceability, including of Exhibit L - 3
the PPA (except for any such defenses based on fraud by Buyer), or (C) Seller’s inability to pay any Guaranteed Amount or perform its obligations under the PPA; provided that Guarantor reserves the right to assert for itself any defenses, setoffs or counterclaims that Seller is or may be entitled to assert against Buyer (except for such defenses, setoffs or counterclaims that may be asserted by Seller with respect to the PPA, but that are expressly waived under any provision of this Guaranty).
4. Waivers by Guarantor. Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives as a condition precedent to the performance of its obligations hereunder, with the exception of the requirements in Paragraph 2, (a) notice of acceptance, presentment or protest with respect to the Guaranteed Amounts and this Guaranty, (b) notice of any action taken or omitted to be taken by Buyer in reliance hereon, (c) any requirement that Buyer exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Seller under the PPA, and (d) any event, occurrence or other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing waiver of surety defenses, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder:
(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to Guarantor, the time for payment of any Guaranteed Amount shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; (ii) the obligation to pay any Guaranteed Amount shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect in accordance with the terms of the PPA; (iii) subject to Section 10, any (a) sale, transfer or consolidation of Seller into or with any other entity, (b) sale of substantial assets by, or restructuring of the corporate existence of, Seller or (c) change in ownership of any membership interests of, or other ownership interests in, Seller; or
(iv) the failure by Buyer or any other Person to create, preserve, validate, perfect or protect any security interest granted to, or in favor of, Buyer or any Person.

Notwithstanding any payments that may be made hereunder by the Guarantor, Guarantor hereby agrees that until the earlier of payment in full of all Guaranteed Amounts or expiration of the Guaranty in accordance with Section 3, it shall not be entitled to, nor shall it seek to, exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of its payment of any Guaranteed Amount under this Guaranty, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Seller or seek contribution or reimbursement of such payments from Seller.
6. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) it has all necessary and appropriate [limited liability company][corporate] powers and authority and the legal right to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, this Guaranty, (b) this Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights or general principles of equity, (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty does not and will not contravene Guarantor’s organizational documents, any applicable Law or any contractual provisions binding on or affecting Guarantor, (d) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending before any court, Exhibit L - 4

The total amount of Discharging Energy delivered to the Delivery Point (expressed in MWh AC) during the first four (4) hours of discharge (up to, but not in excess of, the product of (i) the original Storage Contract Capacity set forth on the Cover Sheet, as such original Storage Contract Capacity on the Cover Sheet may have been adjusted (if at all) under Section 5 of Exhibit B, multiplied by (ii) four (4) hours), shall be divided by four (4) hours to determine the Storage Contract Capacity, which shall be expressed in MW AC, and Exhibit O - 5
shall be the new Storage Contract Capacity in accordance with Section 4.9(c) of the Agreement until updated pursuant to a subsequent Storage Capacity Test.
J. Adjustment to Efficiency Rate.
The total amount of Energy Out (as reported in Part II.B above) divided by the total amount of Energy In (as reported in Part II.B above), and expressed as a percentage, shall be the new Efficiency Rate, and shall be used for the calculation of liquidated damages (if any) under Exhibit C until updated pursuant to a subsequent Storage Capacity Test.
Part III. INITIAL SUPPLEMENTARY STORAGE CAPACITY TEST PROTOCOL A. Initial Supplementary Storage Capacity Test Protocol The initial Supplementary Storage Capacity Test Protocol outlined below shall not be binding on the Parties until delivery of the Supplementary Storage Capacity Test Protocol in accordance with Part II.I above and is included for the convenience of the Parties.
Procedure:
(1) System Starting State: The Storage Facility shall be balanced using OEM procedures as appropriate and will be in the on-line state at the Minimum Storage Level.
(2) Record the initial value of the Storage Facility State-of-Charge (“SOC”). (3) Charge the Storage Facility at the Maximum Charging Capacity until the battery reaches the maximum SOC allowed at that rate. Continue charging the Storage Facility at the fixed maximum battery voltage (CV charging).
Stop the Storage Facility charge routine when the battery has reached the desired SOC, not to exceed six hours of charging.
(4) Record and store the AC energy charged to the Storage Facility as measured at the Storage Facility Meter at the Storage Facility Metering Point associated with Charging Energy (“Energy In”). All separately metered Storage Facility Station Use shall be excluded from the measurement of Energy In.
(5) Following an agreed-upon rest period, command a real power discharge that results in an AC power output of the Storage Facility’s Maximum Discharging Capacity and maintain the discharging state until the earlier of (a) the Facility has discharged at the maximum discharging level for four (4) consecutive hours, (b) the Storage Facility has reached the Minimum Storage Level, or (c) the sustained discharging level is at least 2% less than the Maximum Discharging Capacity.
Exhibit O - 6
(6) Record and store the AC Energy discharged (in MWh) as measured at the Storage Facility Meter. Such data point shall be used for purposes of calculation of the Storage Capacity.
(7) Record and store the AC Energy charged (in MWh) as measured at the Storage Facility Metering Point associated with Charging Energy. Such data point shall be used for purposes of calculation of the Efficiency Rate. (8) If the Storage Facility has not reached the Minimum Storage Level pursuant to Part III.A.5, continue discharging the Storage Facility until it reaches the Minimum Storage Level.
(9) Record and store the AC Energy discharged (in MWh) as measured at the Storage Facility Metering Points. “Energy Out” means that total AC Energy discharged (in MWh) as measured at the Storage Facility Metering Point associated with Charging Energy from the commencement of discharging pursuant to Part III.A.5 until the Storage Facility has reached the Minimum Storage Level pursuant to either Part III.A.5 or Part III.A.8, as applicable.
All separately metered Storage Facility Station Use shall be excluded from the measurement of Energy Out.
Test Results:
(1) The resulting Efficiency Rate is calculated as Energy Out/Energy In. (2) The resulting Storage Capacity measurement is the sum of the total Discharging Energy at the Storage Facility Meter divided by four (4) hours.
Exhibit P - 1
EXHIBIT P
ANNUAL STORAGE AVAILABILITY CALCULATION
Seller shall calculate the “Annual Storage Availability” for a given month of the Delivery Term using the formula set forth below:
[AVAILHRSy + EXCUSEDHRSm]
Annual Storage Availability (%) =
[YRTHRSy]
Where:
y = relevant year “y”” in which Annual Storage Availability is calculated; YRHRSm is the total number of hours for the relevant Contract Year; AVAILHRSm is the total number of hours, or partial hours, in the month during which the Storage Facility was available to charge and discharge Energy between the Storage Facility and the Delivery Point and to provide Ancillary Services at the Delivery Point (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, all circumstances at the high-voltage side of the Delivery Point or beyond that may limit Seller’s delivery of Product). If the Storage Facility is available pursuant to the preceding sentence during any applicable hour, or partial hour, but for less than the full amount of the Storage Contract Capacity, the AVAILHRSm for such time period shall be calculated by multiplying such AVAILHRSm by a percentage determined by dividing (a) by (b); where (a) is the lower of (i) such Storage Capacity amount reported as available by Seller’s real-time EMS data feed to Buyer for the Storage Facility for such hours, or partial hours, and (ii) Seller’s most recent Availability Notice, and (b) is the Storage Contract Capacity; and EXCUSEDHRSm
If the Storage Facility or any component thereof was previously deemed unavailable for an hour or part of an hour, and Seller provides a revised Notice indicating the Storage Facility is available for that hour or part of an hour by 5:00 a.m. of the morning Buyer schedules or bids the Storage Exhibit P - 2
Facility in the Day-Ahead Market, the Storage Facility will be deemed to be available to the extent set forth in the revised Notice.
Availability Adjustment. If the Annual Storage Availability during any Contract Year of the Delivery Period is less than the Guaranteed Storage Availability, then Seller shall owe Buyer an Availability Adjustment Payment for such Contract Year, where “Availability Adjustment Payment” means an amount equal to the product of (a) the sum of the Monthly Capacity Payments for the months in such Contract Year, multiplied by (b) the Availability Adjustment for such Contract Year.
The applicable “Availability Adjustment” or “AA” is calculated as follows:
Exhibit Q - 1

SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY POWER
Staff Report – Item 18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: San Diego Community Power Board of Directors
From: Byron Vosburg, Managing Director, Power Services; and Kenny Key, Director of Power Contracts
Via: Karin Burns, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Resource Adequacy Agreement with SE US Development, LLC Date: January 18, 2024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the proposed Resource Adequacy Agreement with SE US Development, LLC and authorize the CEO to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND
As San Diego Community Power (SDCP) strives to meet its environmental, financial, and regulatory compliance goals and requirements, long-term contracts of at least 10 years in duration are integral components of its portfolio. Long-term contracts provide renewable generation and clean energy storage facility developers with the certain revenue stream against which they can finance up-front capital requirements, so each long-term contract that SDCP signs with a developing facility will underpin a new, incremental project. In addition, long-term contracts lock in energy and capacity supply around which SDCP can build its power supply portfolio while also providing power supply cost certainty around which SDCP can develop its pro forma financial model.
In D.21-06-025, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) required each Load Serving Entity (LSE) in California to make significant long-term purchase commitments for resource adequacy from new, incremental generation and storage facilities that will achieve commercial operation during 2023 through 2026. Further, Decision 23-02-040 allowed LSEs to contract for long-lead time resources, including long duration storage, with commercial operations out into 2028 to meet its resource adequacy requirements.
The proposed Resource Adequacy Agreement is for resource adequacy benefits from a 402 MW/1,208 MWh, 4-hour battery energy storage facility (“Athos”) with SE US Development, LLC, a subsidiary of SB Energy (“SBE”). The Agreement originated from an offer SDCP received in late 2023 via its 2023 Request for Information for projects seeking to apply to the CAISO Transmission Planning Process in 2024. SDCP engaged with SBE after short-listing the project and has reached terms mutually agreeable to both parties.
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Staff negotiated the attached resource adequacy Agreement for the purchase of resource adequacy benefits from the Athos project, which is a standalone battery storage project to be developed in Riverside County by SBE.
Below is additional information regarding SBE and the Agreement.
Background on SBE:
• SBE is a California-based solar and storage developer, owning and operating 1.4 GWac of solar projects in US, including 450 MWac of solar projects operating in California with 3 GWac of solar and 4.5 GWac of storage in its California pipeline, including the Pelicans Jaw project.
• Founded in 2019, SBE is backed by SoftBank Group Corp. and Ares Climate Infrastructure, allowing SBE to finance 100% of the projects it develops, owns, and operates.
• In December 2023, SBE received "Renewables Deal of the Year" award from Project Finance International (PFI) for reaching financial close on 1.3 GWs of solar projects and being among the first to take advantage of the domestic content adder, a provision in the IRA designed to strengthen America’s manufacturing base.
• SBE is sourcing solar modules, trackers, and structural steel domestically for several of its projects.
Contract Overview – Athos
• Project Nameplate Capacity: 402 MW/1,208 MWh (4-hour) lithium-ion battery energy system
• Project location: Kern County, California
• Guaranteed commercial operation date: June 1, 2026
• Deliverability: Contract is contingent on SBE obtaining delivery for the Athos project via the CAISO Transmission Planning Process in 2024 • Contract term: 5 years
• Pricing: Fixed price
• SDCP would receive financial compensation in the event of seller’s failure to successfully achieve certain development milestones as well as seller’s failure to meet guaranteed resource adequacy guarantees once the project is operational. • SDCP would receive an option to contract with SBE a full energy service storage agreement for the Athos project for deliveries beginning in 2029 should the project obtain deliverability in the 2024 CAISO Transmission Plan Process Community Benefits:
• Project development will bring approximately 45-50 clean-energy jobs during construction and approximately 1 full-time equivalent jobs during operations. • The project is committed to executing a Project Labor Agreement and will identify the unions involved when the agreement is negotiated.
• The project will be developed at SBE’s operating Athos I & II solar projects, minimizing any impacts on the surrounding communities.
COMMITTEE REVIEW
None.
FISCAL IMPACT
The competitive capacity pricing of the Agreement is confidential, but the long-term purchase of resource adequacy will provide SDCP with significant value and cost certainty over the term of this Agreement.
