INFLATION
Despite the Federal Government shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for Septemberon October 24th. Both headline and core measures came in below estimates. Headline CPI edged up 0.3% from August and 3.0% on an annual basis, while core CPI was up 0.2% from the prior month and 3.0% on an annual basis. The release was essential as third-quarter CPI data is used by the Social Security Administration to calculate the annual COLA, i.e. the cost-of-living adjustment. Other US Government data releases continue to be impacted by the shutdown. 21 Source: Federal Reserve Source: Bloomberg

Yield (%)
The Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark interest rate by a quarterpoint to a range of 3.75% to 4.00%% at its October meeting. There were two dissents to the rate decision, one from Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran in favor of a 50-basis point cut and the second from Kansas City Federal Reserve President Jeffrey Schmid who preferred to leave rates unchanged. Chair Jerome Powell referenced the weakening labor market despite some inflationary pressures and moderate economic growth. The Fed also announced the balance-sheet runoff program begun in June 2022 would conclude as of December 1, 2025. The Fed plans to replace Mortgage Backed securities paydowns with purchases of US Treasury Bills. Since the campaign launched, the Fed has reduced its securities holdings by about $2.35 trillion, bringing the total down to roughly $6.6 trillion. 22 Source: Bloomberg Source: Bloomberg

Determining appropriate reserve levels involves assessing minimum requirements, recommended ranges, and upper thresholds:
o Minimum reserves protect against short-term liquidity risks and ensure operational continuity. Ability to meet essential obligations and maintain short- term financial stability Aligns with industry standards; supports a strong credit profile
o Target Reserves are based on factors such as operating expenses, risk exposure, peer comparisons and necessary credit metrics.
Covers normal cyclical fluctuations to market price benchmark volatility resulting from fluctuations to PCIA and SDG&E rates.
o Maximum reserves (upper thresholds) prevent excessive accumulation of reserves. Provides sufficient reserves for significant fluctuations in market volatility and/or unforeseen circumstances 83 Market Volatility = Moving Targets

93 Updated Reserve Policy
94 Policy Language Revisions
Update language and definitions to better define Reserves as liquidity available for emergency purposes. • Policy Guideline Proposed Revisions:
o Minimum: 180-Days Cash on Hand
o Recommended Target: 225-Days Cash on Hand
o Maximum: 270-Days Cash on Hand
• “Reserves” definition:
o Current: Net position
o Proposed: Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and investments unencumbered by legal agreements and not earmarked for specific purposes
95 Policy Language Revisions
Updated Purpose and Intent of Reserves Balance Thresholds Reserves below the Minimum Reserve Balance:
o The Board should ensure that Reserves do not drop below the Minimum Reserve Balance unless determined by the Board to be necessary to address a Reserve Event.
Reserve above the Maximum Reserve Balance:
o The Board may evaluate opportunities for strategic investments, programmatic reserves, or other purposes as authorized by the Board.
Reserve Between Target and Maximum:
o The Board may authorize the use of Reserves between the Target Reserve Balance and Maximum Reserve Balance to be designated as Rate Stabilization Reserves*. Rate Stabilization Reserves allows Community Power to defer revenues in years of strong financial results for use in future years when financial results are weaker or stressed.
The Board shall determine the contribution to Reserves at least annually, with the goal of maintaining balances between the Target Reserve Balance and Maximum Reserve Balance.

Community Power Rate Components
• Generation: Community Power charges for purchasing or generating electricity. • SDG&E Delivery: SDG&E charges for the delivery of electricity to the home or business. • Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA): above-market costs related to power supply commitments that the utilities made many years ago.
• Franchise fees: a surcharge applied to electricity transported over SDG&E systems that are constructed in public streets and highways.

Rate Trifurcation: Equality vs. Equity
• Equality means an individual or a group of
people is given the same resources or
opportunities.
• Equity recognizes that each person has different
circumstances and allocates the exact resources
and opportunities needed to reach an equal
outcome.
• This trifurcation of Community Power rates by
vintage will maintain a fair, equitable, and
balanced rate structure.
103
Rate Trifurcation
• Community Power's Phase 1 and 2
customers (vintage 2020), Phase 3
customers (vintage 2021), and Phase 4
customers (vintage 2022) are all charged a
different PCIA by SDG&E because they are
assigned different vintage years.
• Due to the substantial deltas expected
between PCIA vintages 2020, 2021, and
2022, staff will continue to recommend
trifurcation of three sets of rates to the
Board to ensure customer equity.

2026 SDG&E Bundled Generation Rate Outlook
• SDG&E’s system avg. commodity rates are projected to increase by ~12%. • SDG&E attributes the increase in commodity rates to decreased credits and revenues from lower market values, as well as a lower sales forecast.

SDG&E General Rate Case (GRC) Phase 2
• SDG&E filed its 2024 GRC Phase 2 Application on January 17, 2023, and the Commission adopted a decision on September 18, 2025.
o SDG&E is required to present the PCIA as a separate line item on bundled customers’ bills to ensure consistent comparison between bundled and CCA customers, expected in Q2 2026.
o The Commission granted approval of proposals for revenue allocation to customer classes and rate design changes, including three notable changes that Community Power will mirror.
Seasonality Adjustment for
Residential Tiered Rates
• Moves the seasonal (winter / summer)
adjustment from the delivery rate
component to the commodity /
generation rate component.
• Reduces seasonal volatility in
commodity rates.
• Effective January 1, 2026.
Time-of-Use (TOU) Super Off-Peak Extension
• Extends existing weekday mid-day
Super Off-Peak (10 a.m. - 2 p.m.),
currently applied to March and April, to
the full year.
• Reduces mid-day prices to encourage
load-shifting to the mid-day period.
• Effective April 1, 2026.
New Medium Commercial
Customer Class
• Creates a new Medium Commercial
customer class for customers with
demand between 20-200 kW.
• Reclassifies several schedules as
Medium Commercial.
• Effective April 1, 2026.
108
Next Steps
• Staff continues to monitor updates from SDG&E and CPUC. • SDG&E commodity rates and PCIA rates, that will go into effect on January 1, 2026, will not be finalized until December 31, 2025.
• Staff will recommend to the Board to adopt a rate change on January 15, 2026. • Due to variation in PCIA for vintage years, staff will continue to recommend trifurcated rates. • After SDG&E files its March 1, 2026 rate changes related to GRC Phase 2 implementation, staff will recommend to the Board to adopt appropriate rate design updates to be effective on April 1, 2026 to align rates with SDG&E to improve the overall customer experience. 109
