FY26 fully funded the $115M (45-

Favorable market conditions enabled the
deferral to cushion anticipated future cost

Through July 2026, total reserves
are $717M or 282-DCOH. Community Power is
well positioned for a potential PCIA Snapback.
Overview Revenue Cost of Energy Non-Energy Costs Reserves CIP & Capital Budget 67 Rate Stabilization Reserve – Future Recognition
• Designation: At fiscal year-end, Community Power designated eligible reserves as RSR up to the policy cap of approximately 45 days cash on hand, which was then reported through the June 30, 2026 Treasurer’s Report at the regular Board meeting held on September 24, 2026.
• Recognition: The Board must approve any release of RSR into revenue. Staff will recommend the amount and timing during the annual financial review, with reserve-use scenarios in January rate-setting. Approved RSR would enter revenue later in the fiscal year if needed for financial covenants. The Board may also authorize use of non-RSR reserves.
Overview Revenue Cost of Energy Non-Energy Costs Reserves CIP & Capital Budget 68 Projected Use of Reserves in FY27 and FY28
FY27: Managing the anticipated PCIA “snapback”
• Higher PCIA charges and lower SDG&E generation rates are expected to compress revenues and operating margins as prior market conditions flow through the PABA true-up. • The FY27 budget anticipates a $3.9M positive net margin, versus $150.4M in the FY26 amended budget, which targeted reserve growth.
• During January 2027 rate-setting, staff expect to recommend using RSR and/or regular reserves above the 225-day cash target to offset margin compression, protect financial covenants and moderate customer rate impacts.
FY28 and beyond: Preliminary outlook
• Staff anticipate further reserve drawdowns as PCIA’s multi-year true-up continues. Preliminary FY28 budgets will go to the FRMC and Board in spring 2027.
• Staff will update reserve balances, RSR activity and multi-year forecasts, and promptly report material changes to the FY27 or FY28 outlook.

70 FY26 Results and Outlook
Overview Revenue Cost of Energy Non-Energy Costs Reserves CIP & Capital Budget Purpose of the CIP:
• The Capital Investment Plan represents Community Power’s commitment to plan and finance programs and projects that align with community and organizational priorities.
CIP vs Operating Budgets:
• While operating budgets authorize funds only for the current fiscal year, CIP budget carries over from year to year for the life of the program or until reduced by subsequent action. This is represented as carry forward funding in the budget.
• CIP funding is based on operational availability or external resources to fill a need over the five-year outlook period. 71 FY26 Results
