Load Integration
Guidelines
Presenter:

Lee Friedman, Associate Director of Strategic Initiatives Recommendation: Receive and file
Community Power’s revisions to the existing
Net Energy Metering Tariff/Program (NEM)
and to the existing Net Billing Tariff (NBT) and
Community Power’s establishment of the new
Net Billing Tariff Virtual (NBT-V) and a Net
Billing Tariff Aggregation (NBT-A) for all new
customers who elect this and who have
installed onsite generation on or after
February 15, 2024 that qualifies for the tariff
and for existing customers transitioning out of
the Virtual Net Energy Metering Tariff (VNEM)
or the Net Energy Metering Aggregation Tariff
(NEMA) following the conclusion and/or
termination of their NEMA legacy period.

Recommendation:

Approval of the Data Center Load Integration
Guidelines, a working framework to guide San
Diego Community Power’s (Community
Power) engagement with data center electrical
loads defined as high-density, non-interruptible, near-constant electric load, typically 20+ megawatts (MW), requiring
dedicated long-term capacity planning
32 Why these guidelines are needed
Rising Energy Demand
Data centers are a growing driver of electricity demand, accelerate load growth and increase pressure on grid reliability, clean energy targets and customer costs Scale & System Impacts
Large projects (20+ MW) require significant system planning, long-term energy procurement and resource adequacy needs, and coordination with SDG&E and grid operators
Customer & Community Protection
Community Power is taking a proactive approach to mitigating risks such as cost-shifts to existing customers without clear policy or potential disproportionate impacts on communities of concern
33 A Guardrail Framework
• Provides a structured approach to evaluate impacts
and guide decision-making
• Establishes clear guardrails for engagement, policy
development and potential commercial considerations
• Does not approve specific projects and carries no
immediate fiscal impact
• Designed to evolve over time
• Supports member agencies by informing local
permitting processes through Community Power
expertise
34 Ratepayer Protection
• 1.1 Full Cost Responsibility
Data Center load customers bear their own procurement costs, integration costs, resource adequacy obligations, and administrative overhead. No cross-subsidization
• 1.2 Financial Assurance and Stress-Tested Economics to ensure, at minimum, Customer Indifference Various scenarios will evaluate reasonably foreseeable risks – including lower-than-forecast load, delayed start, and early termination – and confirm recovery of all incremental procurement, hedging, capacity, and infrastructure costs
• 1.3 Stress-Tested Financial Modeling
Every deal must pencil under adverse scenarios, not just optimistic projections • 1.4 Transmission & Delivery Cost Protection
Work with the Investor Owned Utility for assurance that the transmission & delivery infrastructure costs for Data Center service will be directly assigned to the customers driving the load, not socialized across all distribution ratepayers
35 Community Benefit & Opportunity
• 2.1 Economic Development
Data Center load customers shall contribute to local economic growth: jobs, tax revenue, infrastructure investment, and workforce development tied to the San Diego region. • 2.2 Environmental Justice
Data Center customers should mitigate to the extent feasible environmental impacts including water consumption, noise and air quality impacts and it should not impose a disproportionate impact on disadvantaged communities.
• 2.3 Community Engagement
Siting and development processes should include transparent, meaningful engagement with affected communities before commitments are made.
• 2.4 Net Benefit Test
Quantifiable benefits must demonstrably exceed commodity costs. This is a threshold requirement, not an aspiration.
36 Clean Energy & Supply Responsibility
• 3.1 Dedicated Supply Portfolio
Community Power will assemble a dedicated supply portfolio for Data Center load service which may include contracted generation, storage, system power, and restructured portfolio resources. • 3.2 Clean Energy Options
Community Power shall offer Data Center customers options ranging from standard clean energy supply to enhanced procurement that may include new renewable resources. • 3.3 Grid Reliability Coordination
Data Center load service must not degrade reliability or resilience for existing customers. Coordination with the transmission and distribution provider is required to understand the impacts. • 3.4 Load Flexibility
Community Power should explore whether Data Center customers can provide demand response or load flexibility that supports grid stability.
37 Financial Assurance & Risk Management
• 4.1 Credit Support Calibrated to Project Phase
Security requirements should scale with project maturity, with appropriate instruments at each stage — lighter requirements pre-permit, heavier during construction, reduced post-COD based on performance. • 4.2 Menu of Credit Instruments
A defined set of acceptable credit tools allowing flexibility while maintaining rigor: collateral, parent guarantees, performance bonds, milestone-based deposits, and minimum demand charges. • 4.3 Minimum Contract Terms
Data Center load service agreements should have a term floor when relying on long-duration procurement commitments Community Power makes (e.g., 15 years) on their behalf. • 4.4 Exit and Off-Ramp Provisions
Defined consequences when a Data Center underperforms, fails to meet commitments, or ceases operations.

Includes early termination fees and take-or-pay provisions. 38 Transparency and Governance
• 5.1 Board Reporting
Regular, structured reporting to the Community Power’s Board on the Data Center pipeline, portfolio exposure, performance against principles, and risk metrics.
• 5.2 Principles Evolution and Review
These principles are expected to evolve. Community Power staff will evaluate the need for ongoing adjustments and will return to the Board to update the framework based on market developments, regulatory changes, and lessons from initial deals as needed.
• 5.3 Regulatory Engagement
Active participation in CPUC, CAISO, and legislative proceedings that affect CCA Data Center service, including SB 57 implementation, any SDG&E Rule 30 equivalent, and IRP procurement requirements. • 5.4 Community Choice Aggregation Jurisdictional Protection Monitor and defend CCA's role as the commodity provider for new Data Centers in CCA service territory. • 5.5 Stakeholder Communication
Maintain a clear position on Data Center policy that developers, community members, and regulators can reference. 39 Community Power’s Influence
• Authority is shared across multiple entities, including local permitting agencies and San Diego Gas &
Electric
• Community Power's role is to advocate for
ratepayers and communities within this broader
landscape
• The Board retains discretion over whether to serve
large data center loads
• Local permitting decisions may still proceed
independently of Community Power’s position
• Guidelines are intended to strengthen Community
Power’s influence, even where direct authority is
limited
