GLOSSARY OF TERMS
CAISO – California Independent System Operator - a non-profit independent system operator that oversees the operation of the California bulk electric power system, transmission lines and electricity market generated and transmitted by its members (~80% of California’s electric flow). Its stated mission is to “operate the grid reliably and efficiently, provide fair and open transmission access, promote environmental stewardship and facilitate effective markets and promote infrastructure development. CAISO is regulated by FERC and governed by a five-member governing board appointed by the governor.
CALCCA – California Community Choice Association – Association made up of Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) groups which represents the interests of California’s community choice electricity providers.
CARB – California Air Resources Board – The CARB is charged with protecting the public from the harmful effects of air pollution and developing programs and actions to fight climate change in California.
CEC – California Energy Commission
CPUC – California Public Utility Commission
C&I – Commercial and Industrial – Business customers
CP – Compliance Period – Time period to become RPS compliant, set by the CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission)
DA – Direct Access – An option that allows eligible customers to purchase their electricity directly from third party providers known as Electric Service Providers (ESP).
DA Cap – the maximum amount of electric usage that may be allocated to Direct Access customers in California, or more specifically, within an Investor-Owned Utility service territory.
DA Lottery – a random drawing by which DA waitlist customers become eligible to enroll in DA service under the currently-applicable Direct Access Cap.
DA Waitlist – customers that have officially registered their interest in becoming a DA customer but are not yet able to enroll in service because of DA cap limitations.
DAC – Disadvantaged Community
DASR – Direct Access Service Request – Request submitted by C&I to become direct access eligible.
Demand - The rate at which electric energy is delivered to or by a system or part of a system, generally expressed in kilowatts (kW), megawatts (MW), or gigawatts (GW), at a given instant or averaged over any designated interval of time. Demand should not be confused with Load or Energy.
DER – Distributed Energy Resource – A small-scale physical or virtual asset (e.g. EV charger, smart thermostat, behind-the-meter solar/storage, energy efficiency) that operates locally and is connected to a larger power grid at the distribution level.
Distribution - The delivery of electricity to the retail customer’s home or business through low voltage distribution lines.
Silicon Valley Clean Energy Revised: October 10, 2019
2 DLAP – Default Load Aggregation Point – In the CAISO’s electricity optimization model, DLAP is the node at which all bids for demand should be submitted and settled. SVCE settles its CAISO load at the PG&E DLAP as SVCE is in the PG&E transmission access charge area.
DR – Demand Response - An opportunity for consumers to play a significant role in the operation of the electric grid by reducing or shifting their electricity usage during peak periods in response to time-based rates or other forms of financial incentives.
DWR – Department of Water Resources – DWR manages California’s water resources, systems, and infrastructure in a responsible, sustainable way.
ELCC – Effective Load Carrying Capacity – The additional load met by an incremental generator while maintaining the same level of system reliability. For solar and wind resources the ELCC is the amount of capacity which can be counted for Resource Adequacy purposes.
EPIC – Electric Program Investment Charge – The EPIC program was created by the CPUC to support investments in clean energy technologies that provide benefits to the electricity ratepayers of PG&E, San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), and Southern California Edison Company (SCE) ERRA – Energy Resource Recovery Account – ERRA proceedings are used to determine fuel and purchased power costs which can be recovered in rates. The utilities do not earn a rate of return on these costs, and only recover actual costs. The costs are forecast for the year ahead. If the actual costs are lower than forecast, then the utility gives money back, and vice versa.
ESP – Energy Service Provider - An energy entity that provides service to a retail or end-use customer.
EV – Electric Vehicle
GHG – Greenhouse gas - water vapor, carbon dioxide, tropospheric ozone, nitrous oxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). A gas that causes the atmosphere to trap heat radiating from the earth. The most common GHG is Carbon Dioxide, though Methane and others have this effect as well.
GRC – General Rate Case – Proceedings used to address the costs of operating and maintaining the utility system and the allocation of those costs among customer classes. For California’s three large IOUs, the GRCs are parsed into two phases. Phase I of a GRC determines the total amount the utility is authorized to collect, while Phase II determines the share of the cost each customer class is responsible and the rate schedules for each class. Each large electric utility files a GRC application every three years for review by the Public Advocates Office and interested parties and approval by the CPUC.
GWh – Gigawatt-hour - The unit of energy equal to that expended in one hour at a rate of one billion watts. One GWh equals 1,000 megawatt-hours.
IEP – Independent Energy Producers – California’s oldest and leading nonprofit trade association, representing the interest of developers and operators of independent energy facilities and independent power marketers.
IOU – Investor Owned Utility – A private electricity and natural gas provider.
IRP – Integrated Resource Plan – A plan which outlines an electric utility’s resource needs in order to meet expected electricity demand long-term.
kW – Kilowatt – Measure of power where power (watts) = voltage (volts) x amperage (amps) and 1 kW = 1000 watts
kWh – Kilowatt-hour – This is a measure of consumption. It is the amount of electricity that is used over some period of time, typically a one-month period for billing purposes. Customers are charged a rate per kWh of electricity used.
Silicon Valley Clean Energy Revised: October 10, 2019
3 LCFS – Low Carbon Fuel Standard – A CARB program designed to encourage the use of cleaner low-carbon fuels in California, encourage the production of those fuels, and therefore, reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
LCR – Local (RA) Capacity Requirements – The amount of Resource Adequacy capacity required to be demonstrated in a specific location or zone.
LMP – Locational Marginal Price – Each generator unit and load pocket is assigned a node in the CAISO optimization model. The model will assign a LMP to the node in both the day- ahead and real time market as it balances the system using the least cost. The LMP is comprised of three components: the marginal cost of energy, congestion and losses. The LMP is used to financially settle transactions in the CAISO.
Load - An end use device or customer that receives power from an energy delivery system. Load should not be confused with Demand, which is the measure of power that a load receives or requires. See Demand.
LSE – Load-serving Entity – Entities that have been granted authority by state, local law or regulation to serve their own load directly through wholesale energy purchases and have chosen to exercise that authority.
NEM – Net Energy Metering – A program in which solar customers receive credit for excess electricity generated by solar panels.
NRDC – Natural Resources Defense Council
OIR – Order Instituting Rulemaking - A procedural document that is issued by the CPUC to start a formal proceeding. A draft OIR is issued for comment by interested parties and made final by vote of the five Commissioners of the CPUC.
MW – Megawatt – measure of power. A megawatt equals 1,000 kilowatts or 1 million watts.
MWH – Megawatt-hour – measure of energy
NP-15 – North Path 15 – NP-15 is a CAISO pricing zone usually used to approximate wholesale electricity prices in northern California in PG&E’s service territory.
PCC1 – RPS Portfolio Content Category 1 – Bundled renewables where the energy and REC are dynamically scheduled into a California Balancing Authority (CBA) such as the CAISO. Also known as “in-state” renewables PCC2 – RPS Portfolio Content Category 2 – Bundled renewables where the energy and REC are from out-of-state and not dynamically scheduled to a CBA.
PCC3 – RPS Portfolio Content Category 3 – Unbundled REC PCIA or “exit fee” - Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) is an “exit fee” based on stranded costs of utility generation set by the California Public Utilities Commission. It is calculated annually and assessed to customers of CCAs and paid to the IOU that lost those customers as a result of the formation of a CCA.
PCL – Power Content Label – A user-friendly way of displaying information to California consumers about the energy resources used to generate the electricity they sell, as required by AB 162 (Statue of 2009) and Senate Bill 1305 (Statutes of 1997).
PD – Proposed Decision – A procedural document in a CPUC Rulemaking process that is formally commented on by Parties to the proceeding. A PD is a precursor to a final Decision voted on by the five Commissioners of the CPUC.
Pnode – Pricing Node – In the CAISO optimization model, it is a point where a physical injection or withdrawal of energy is modeled and for which a LMP is calculated.
Silicon Valley Clean Energy Revised: October 10, 2019
4 PPA – Power Purchase Agreement – A contract used to purchase the energy, capacity and attributes from a renewable resource project.
RA – Resource Adequacy - Under its Resource Adequacy (RA) program, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requires load-serving entities—both independently owned utilities and electric service providers—to demonstrate in both monthly and annual filings that they have purchased capacity commitments of no less than 115% of their peak loads.
RE – Renewable Energy - Energy from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power.
REC - Renewable Energy Certificate - A REC is the property right to the environmental benefits associated with generating renewable electricity. For instance, homeowners who generate solar electricity are credited with 1 solar REC for every MWh of electricity they produce. Utilities obligated to fulfill an RPS requirement can purchase these RECs on the open market.
RPS - Renewable Portfolio Standard - Law that requires CA utilities and other load serving entities (including CCAs) to provide an escalating percentage of CA qualified renewable power (culminating at 33% by 2020) in their annual energy portfolio.
SCE – Southern California Edison
SDG&E – San Diego Gas & Electric
SGIP – Self-Generation Incentive Program – A program which provides incentives to support existing, new, and emerging distributed energy resources (storage, wind turbines, waste heat to power technologies, etc.) TCR EPS Protocol – The Climate Registry Electric Power Sector Protocol – Online tools and resources provided by The Climate Registry to assist organizations to measure, report, and reduce carbon emissions.
Time-of-Use (TOU) Rates — The pricing of delivered electricity based on the estimated cost of electricity during a particular time-block. Time-of-use rates are usually divided into three or four time-blocks per 24 hour period (on-peak, midpeak, off-peak and sometimes super off-peak) and by seasons of the year (summer and winter). Real time pricing differs from TOU rates in that it is based on actual (as opposed to forecasted) prices that may fluctuate many times a day and are weather sensitive, rather than varying with a fixed schedule.
TURN – The Utility Reform Network - A ratepayer advocacy group charged with ensuring that California IOUs implement just and reasonable rates.
Unbundled RECs - Renewable energy certificates that verify a purchase of a MWH unit of renewable power where the actual power and the certificate are “unbundled” and sold to different buyers.
VPP – Virtual Power Plant – A cloud-based network that leverages an aggregation of distributed energy resources (DERs) to shift energy demand or provide services to the grid. For example, thousands of EV chargers could charge at a slower speed and hundreds of home batteries could discharge to the grid during a demand peak to significantly reduce the procurement of traditional supply resources.

Staff Report – Item 1c
Item 1c: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Public Meetings to Continue to Be Held Via Teleconferencing Pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e) and Making Findings
From: Trisha Ortiz, Assistant General Counsel
Prepared by: Trisha Ortiz, Assistant General Counsel
Date: 4/13/2022
RECOMMENDATION
To continue meetings to be held via teleconferencing pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e), adopt the attached Resolution 2022-11 making the findings required by Section 54953(e)(3).
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(b)(3) legislative bodies may meet by “teleconference” only if the agenda lists each location a member remotely accesses a meeting from, the agenda is posted at all remote locations, and the public may access any of the remote locations. Additionally, a quorum of the legislative body must be within the legislative body’s jurisdiction.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governor issued Executive Order N-29-20, suspending certain sections of the Brown Act. Pursuant to the Executive Order, legislative bodies no longer needed to list the location of each remote attendee, post agendas at each remote location, or allow the public to access each location. Further, a quorum of the legislative body does not need to be within the legislative body’s jurisdiction. After several extensions, Executive Order N-29-20 expired on September 30, 2021.
On September 16, 2021 Governor Newsom signed AB 361, new legislation that amends the Brown Act to allow local agencies to meet remotely during Governor declared emergencies under certain conditions. AB 361 authorizes local agencies to continue meeting remotely without following the Brown Act’s standard teleconferencing provisions if the meeting is held during a state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor and either of the following applies: (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or (2) the agency has already determined or is determining whether, as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases caused by the Delta Variant, on September 21, 2021, the Santa Clara County Health Officer issued a recommendation that public bodies meet remotely due to the increased protection provided by social distancing. The Health Officer cited “unique characteristics” of government meetings that lead to increased risk of transmission, including the gathering of people from across communities, the need for everybody to participate (including those who are immunocompromised or unvaccinated), and difficulty ensuring compliance with vaccination and safety recommendations. In addition, the Health Officer has described the new Omicron variant as significantly more transmissible than prior variants of the virus.
On October 13, 2021, the Board adopted its Resolution 2021-23 to authorize public meetings to be held via teleconferencing pursuant to Government Code section 54953(e).
Item 1c
/ A"\ SILICON VALLEY
~CLEAN ENERGY
Agenda Item: 1c Agenda Date: 4/13/2022
Within thirty days after the first teleconferenced meeting held under AB 361, and every thirty days thereafter, in order to continue meeting by teleconference, the local agency’s legislative body must find that it has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency and that either: (1) The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person; or (2) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.
On November 10, 2021, December 8, 2021, January 12, 2022, February 9, 2022, and March 9, 2022 the Board adopted Resolutions 2021-26, 2021-27, 2022-02, 2022-03, and 2022-07 authorizing public meetings to continue to be held via teleconferencing pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e) and directing staff to return with a resolution to make the findings necessary to continue meeting pursuant to Government Code section 54953(e).
STRATEGIC PLAN
SVCE’s Board-adopted Strategic Plan identifies engaging the public as a goal of SVCE and remote meetings will better engage the public as long as COVID-19 is a threat to public health.
FISCAL IMPACT
Continuing to conduct remote public Board of Directors and Standing Committee meetings will not increase the cost of meetings.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
The attached Resolution makes the periodic findings necessary to continue holding meetings under Government Code Section 54953(3). Specifically, the attached Resolution makes findings that the Board has reconsidered the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency and that local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing. As required by Government Code Section 54953(e)(3), the resolution makes the findings as of April 8, 2022 and provides that the findings will cover the period of time until the next regular meeting of the Board. The resolution applies to both the Board of Directors and its Committees.
Staff will continue to monitor the situation and will return to the Board every 30 days or as needed with additional recommendations related to the conduct of public meetings.

Staff Report – Item 1d
Item 1d: Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute Agreement with UtilityAPI, Inc. for a Long-Term Data Hive Program
From: Girish Balachandran, CEO
Prepared by: Justin Zagunis, Director of Decarbonization and Grid Innovation Programs Rebecca Fang, Data Analyst
Date: 4/13/2022
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Silicon Valley Clean Energy Authority Board (“SVCE Board”) authorize the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) to execute the attached agreement with non-substantive changes approved by the CEO and subject to final review and approval by the General Counsel with a cost not-to-exceed amount of $405,000 with UtilityAPI, Inc. (“UAPI”), to scale the Innovation Onramp Data Hive pilot to a standard, longer-term program.
BACKGROUND
In December 2018, the SVCE Board adopted the Decarbonization Strategy and Programs Roadmap (abbv. “Roadmap”) to achieve its mission to reduce dependence on fossil fuels by providing carbon-free, affordable, and reliable electricity and innovative programs for the community. The Roadmap budget includes funding for the Innovation Onramp program, which is designed to leverage our unique position to engage and support the innovation ecosystem in addressing key market barriers to achieving deep decarbonization in SVCE service territory and beyond. In June 2019, the SVCE Board approved grant funding for a flagship pilot which had been proposed by UAPI. This pilot, later named “Data Hive”, has deployed a data exchange platform for SVCE service territory that allows third parties to request and download customer utility bill and usage data.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
The Data Hive opened for public use in March 2020 with the goal of demonstrating the potential of free, authorized access to standardized and automated energy usage data in accelerating the deployment of clean energy projects, empowering customer choice and supporting local businesses. Interest in the Data Hive was high at launch and throughout the summer, with 60 3rd-party registrations in the first several months. Today, there are over 180 companies registered to use the Data Hive.
Transactional activity on the Data Hive for the spring and summer of 2020 remained fairly low – extending lockdowns and worsening economic conditions seemed to affect consumer interest in clean energy projects (see reference for solar installers1). As the pilot approached its original termination date of mid-September 2020, staff and UAPI implemented a no-cost term extension with a usage-based monthly fee to give the clean energy market more time to recover and use Data Hive.

/ A"\ SILICON VALLEY
~CLEAN ENERGY
Agenda Item: 1d Agenda Date: 4/13/2022
In Q3 of 2020, the market for clean energy projects began to show some recovery2 and usage of the Data Hive increased. Additionally, SVCE’s other programs (e.g. GridShift: EV Charging pilot and FutureFit Assist: EV Charging) began to use the Data Hive to help our 3rd party administrators easily access customer data.
In February 2021, the pilot term was extended to November 15, 2021 to allow time to fully vet the efficacy of Data Hive. Since then, Data Hive has received positive feedback from SVCE’s 3rd party program partners. For the GridShift: EV Charging program, Data Hive was successfully integrated into the GridShift app such that the entire customer enrollment process is on-app, significantly reducing program administration costs.
Interviews with 3rd parties indicated strong support for key features of the platform such as: streamlined 3rd party registration process, streamlined customer consent using one-time passcodes, and scope of data.
Providing simplified, effective access to usage data is beneficial to SVCE’s ongoing and future decarbonization programs by streamlining the process for sharing with vendors and making sure customers are aware.
Continuing Data Hive will also keep helping 3
rd parties and customers across SVCE service territory pursue energy projects and explore new and innovative approaches to decarbonization. Acting as the source for customers to share their usage data is a key way that SVCE serves our community. Further, UAPI has committed to adding functions to the Data Hive that are intended to increase its use.
The above reasons led to the decision to pursue a full-scale, multi-year Data Hive program. Since November 2021, the pilot term has been extended to allow time to negotiate a long-term contract with UAPI.
STRATEGIC PLAN
The proposal supports SVCE’s updated 2021-2022 Strategic Plan Goal 8, which is to “coordinate development of decarbonization strategy, lead design of local policy and programs, and support program deployment.”
ALTERNATIVE
The primary alternative to the Staff recommendation is to not pursue a full-scale Data Hive program and allow the pilot to end once the current funding runs out in April 2022. Staff does not recommend this alternative because it would result in a termination of service for the Data Hive and its users (3 rd parties, SVCE
customers, and SVCE programs).
FISCAL IMPACT
The staff proposal has no incremental fiscal impact. Through the annual budget process, the Board approved 2% of annual operating revenues for programs. Approval of this contract would merely allocate $405,000 within that budget towards this UAPI contract as a part of ongoing Innovation efforts.

Any amounts due to SVCE, such as a Performance Credit, from Service Provider shall be applied by Service Provider as a credit against the next invoice for Services Fees, unless SVCE provides Service Provider with advance notice that such amounts should be otherwise paid or credited against any current or future fees due to Service Provider.
Any such undisputed amounts that are not so credited shall be paid to SVCE by Service Provider within thirty (30) calendar days following SVCE’s request. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
11.6 Non-binding Terms. Any terms and conditions included in a Service Provider invoice shall be deemed to be solely for the convenience of the Service Provider, and no such term or condition shall be binding upon SVCE.
11.7 Auditable Records. Service Provider shall maintain accurate records of all fees billable to, and payments made by, SVCE in a format that will permit audit by SVCE for a period of no less than three (3) years from when a fee was incurred or a payment was made.

For the term of this Agreement, upon SVCE’s written request, Service Provider shall provide SVCE with a copy of its annual American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Service Organization Control SOC 2 type 2 report.

11.9 Suspension of Services. Service Provider shall not suspend any part of the Services because: (a) SVCE is reasonably disputing any amount due to Service Provider in accordance with Section 11.3; provided that not more than 60 days have passed since the provision of the Dispute Notice, or (b) any unpaid but undisputed amount due to Service Provider is less than sixty (60) days in arrears.

13. SVCE Data.
13.1 Ownership. SVCE’s data (“SVCE Data,” which shall be treated by Service Provider as Confidential Information) shall include: (a) SVCE’s data collected, accessed, used, processed, stored, or generated through SVCE’s use of the Services; and, (b) personally identifiable information (“PII“) collected, used, processed, stored, or generated through SVCE’s use of the Services, including, without limitation, any information that identifies an individual, such as an individual’s social security number or other government-issued identification number, date of birth, address, telephone number, biometric data, mother’s maiden name, email address, credit card information, or an individual’s name in combination with any other of the elements listed herein. Except where subject to a third party’s intellectual property rights, all SVCE Data is and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of SVCE and all right, title, and interest in the same belongs to SVCE.
SVCE Data can be categorized as follows: (a) “Authorized Data”, which consists of all data that has been authorized by SVCE customers for release to third parties through the Services; (b) “Calpine Data”, which consists of all data that Service Provider has received from Calpine; (c) “Admin Data”, which consists of all administrative data generated by SVCE’s use of the Services (e.g. number of customer authorizations, identities of the authorizing customers, and the scope of data that was authorized for release). This Section 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
13.2 Service Provider Use of SVCE Data. Service Provider is provided a limited license to access SVCE Data for the sole and exclusive purpose of providing the Services, including a license to collect, process, store, generate, and display SVCE Data only to the extent necessary in the providing of the Services. Service Provider shall: (a) keep and maintain SVCE Data in strict confidence, using such degree of care as is appropriate and consistent with its obligations as further described in this Agreement and applicable law to avoid unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or loss; (b) use and disclose SVCE Data solely and exclusively for the purpose of providing the Services, such use and disclosure being in accordance with this Agreement, and applicable law; (c) allow access to SVCE Data only to those employees of Service Provider who are directly involved with and responsible for providing the Services; and, (d) not use, sell, rent, transfer, distribute, or otherwise disclose or make available SVCE Data for Service Provider’s own purposes or for the benefit of anyone other than SVCE without SVCE’s prior written consent.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, however, it is specifically understood and agreed that Service Provider is affirmatively permitted to release and share Authorized Data in accordance with the applicable customer authorization.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Service Provider may aggregate, anonymize, or otherwise de-identify information relating to SVCE’s use and the performance of the Services (“Anonymized Data”), and use and disclose such Anonymized Data for its legitimate business purposes, including but not limited to improving the Services and promotion and marketing; provided that such Anonymized Data cannot reasonably be used to identify SVCE or any accountholder. For the absence of doubt, Anonymized Data does not include and may not be derived from any Authorized Data.
This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
13.3 Access to, and Extraction of SVCE Data. SVCE shall have full and complete access to, and ability to download, Authorized Data 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, except during periods of maintenance by Service Provider. Further, Service Provider shall, within thirty (30) days of SVCE’s written request, provide SVCE, without charge and without any conditions or contingencies whatsoever (including, but not limited to, the payment of any fees due to Service Provider), an extract of the Authorized Data and Admin Data in a usable format agreed upon by both parties. In the event SVCE gives Service Provider written notice of a “litigation hold”, then as to all data identified in such notice, Service Provider shall, at no additional cost to SVCE, isolate and preserve all such data pending receipt of further direction from SVCE.
13.4 Backup and Recovery of SVCE Data. As a part of the Services, Service Provider is responsible for maintaining a backup of Authorized and Admin Data and for an orderly and timely recovery of such data in the event that the Services may be interrupted.
Unless otherwise described in Exhibit A, Service Provider shall maintain a contemporaneous backup of Authorized and Admin Data that can be recovered within four (4) days. Such backup of Authorized and Admin Data shall be stored in an off-site (but within the continental United States) facility no less than daily, maintaining the security of Authorized and Admin Data, the security requirements of which are further described herein. Any backups of Authorized and Admin Data shall not be considered in calculating storage used by SVCE.
13.5 Loss or Unauthorized Access to Data. In the event of the occurrence of unauthorized access to, or any other event that compromises or is suspected to compromise the security, confidentiality, or integrity of SVCE Data or the physical, technical, administrative, or organizational safeguards put in place by Service Provider that relate to the protection of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of SVCE Data, Service Provider shall, as applicable: (a) notify SVCE as soon as practicable but no later than twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of such occurrence; (b) cooperate with SVCE in investigating the occurrence, including making available all relevant records, logs, files, data reporting, and other materials required to comply with applicable law or as otherwise reasonably required by SVCE.
Subject to the Data Protection Liability Cap set forth in Section 18.2, Service Provider agrees that in the event of an unauthorized release of SVCE Data caused by its or any of its third-party subcontractors’ or service providers’ (a) negligence or misconduct, (b) breach of Service Provider’s obligations under this Agreement, or (c) failure to adhere to Item 1d

Final Version
the processes and procedures of Service Provider’s data privacy and information security program pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof, Service Provider shall:
(A) in the case of PII, at SVCE’s sole election, (i) notify the affected individuals who comprise the PII as soon as practicable but, to the extent reasonably feasible, no later than is required to comply with applicable law including, but not limited to, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1798.82, or in the absence of any legally required notification period, as soon as reasonably practical after the discovery of the occurrence, or reimburse SVCE for its reasonable costs in notifying the affected individuals; and (ii) if the nature of the breach is such that there is a reasonable risk of identity theft as a result of the breach, provide commercially reasonable third-party credit and identity monitoring services to each of the affected individuals who comprise the PII for the period required to comply with applicable law, or, in the absence of any legally required monitoring services, for twelve (12) months following the date of notification to such individuals, and
(B) in the case of SVCE Data (whether PII or otherwise), (i) perform or take any other actions required to comply with applicable law as a result of the occurrence; (ii) as further described in Section 17 of this Agreement, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SVCE for any and all Claims (as defined herein), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses incidental thereto, which may be suffered by, accrued against, charged to, or recoverable from SVCE in connection with the occurrence; (iii) be responsible for recreating lost Authorized Data and Admin Data on the schedule reasonably set by SVCE without charge to SVCE; and (iv) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to SVCE a detailed plan within ten (10) calendar days of the discovery of the occurrence, describing the measures Service Provider will undertake to prevent a future occurrence.
(C) Notification to affected individuals, as described in clause (A) above, shall comply with applicable law, be written in plain language, and contain, at a minimum: name and contact information of Service Provider’s representative; a description of the nature of the loss; a list of the types of data involved; the known or approximate date of the loss; how such loss may affect the affected individual; what steps Service Provider has taken to protect the affected individual; what steps the affected individual can take to protect himself or herself; contact information for major credit card reporting agencies; and, information regarding the credit and identity monitoring services to be provided by Service Provider. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Item 1d
Attachment 1

Final Version
14.1 Meaning of Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean all information and documentation of a party that: (a) has been marked “confidential” or with words of similar meaning, at the time of disclosure by such party; (b) if disclosed orally or not marked “confidential” or with words of similar meaning, was subsequently summarized in writing by the disclosing party and marked “confidential” or with words of similar meaning; or (c) should reasonably be recognized as confidential information of the disclosing party. Except for electric and gas usage information provided to Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement the term “Confidential Information” does not include any information or documentation that was: (a) already in the possession of the receiving party without an obligation of confidentiality; (b) developed independently by the receiving party, as demonstrated by the receiving party, without violating the disclosing party’s proprietary rights; (c) obtained from a source other than the disclosing party without an obligation of confidentiality; or (d) publicly available when received, or thereafter became publicly available (other than through any unauthorized disclosure by, through, or on behalf of, the receiving party). To illustrate the types of information that shall qualify as Confidential Information, for purposes of this Agreement, in all cases and for all matters:
SVCE Data shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of SVCE and any technical specifications or limitations, software code, algorithms and processes, security measures, audit and inspection results, and product plans and technical proposals relating to the Services shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of the Service Provider.
14.2 Obligation of Confidentiality. The parties agree to hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence and not to copy, reproduce, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, give or disclose such Confidential Information to third parties other than employees, agents, or subcontractors of a party who have a need to know in connection with this Agreement or to use such Confidential Information for any purposes whatsoever other than the performance of this Agreement, or as required by law. The parties agree to advise and require their respective employees, agents, and subcontractors of their obligations to keep all Confidential Information confidential. The parties understand and agree that this provision shall not restrict Service Provider, in any manner, from disclosing Authorized Information in accordance with the applicable customer authorization.
14.3 Cooperation to Prevent Disclosure of Confidential Information. Each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the other party in identifying and preventing any unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information. Without limiting the foregoing, each party shall advise the other party immediately in the event either party learns or has reason to believe that any person who has had access to Confidential Information has violated or intends to violate the terms of this Agreement and each party will reasonably cooperate with the other party in seeking injunctive or other equitable relief against any such person. It is understood that SVCE is subject to the California Public Records Act (Gov. Code § 6250 et seq.). If a request under the California Public Records Act is made to view Service Provider’s Confidential Information, SVCE shall notify Service Provider of the request and the date that such records will be released to the requester unless Service Provider obtains a court order Item 1d
Attachment 1
Agreement with UtilityAPI, Inc.
-15-
Final Version
enjoining that disclosure. If Service Provider fails to obtain a court order enjoining that disclosure, SVCE will release the requested information on the date specified.
14.4 Compelled by Law. In the event that either party (as the “Recipient”) becomes compelled by law (by subpoena, court order, or otherwise), to disclose any Confidential Information of the other party (as the “Discloser”), Recipient’s disclosure shall not exceed that required by such legal mandate, and Recipient shall to the extent legally permissible and practicable, provide Discloser with prompt written notice so that Discloser may seek, at Discloser’s own expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy.
14.5 Remedies for Breach of Obligation of Confidentiality. Each party acknowledges that breach of its obligation of confidentiality may give rise to irreparable injury to the other party, which damage may be inadequately compensable in the form of monetary damages. Accordingly, a party may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of the foregoing undertakings, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available, to include, in the case of a material breach by Service Provider that is reasonably likely to cause significant ongoing disruption or material legal risk to SVCE, the right to SVCE to effect, at the sole election of SVCE, the immediate termination, without liability (other than the payment of all amounts then due), of this Agreement.
14.6 Surrender of Confidential Information upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, each party shall, within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of termination, return to the other party any and all Confidential Information received from the other party, or created or received by a party on behalf of the other party, which is in such party’s possession, custody, or control; provided, however, that Service Provider shall return SVCE Data to SVCE following the timeframe and procedure described further in this Agreement. Should Service Provider or SVCE determine that the return of any SVCE Data or non-SVCE Data Confidential Information is not feasible, Service Provider shall destroy the data comprising such Confidential Information in compliance with the most current version of NIST standard SP800-88 (or such other standard offered by Service Provider’s cloud service provider), and shall certify the same in writing within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of termination to the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SVCE agrees that Service Provider shall not be required to destroy any copies of Confidential Information that (A) reside on Service Provider’s backup, disaster recovery or business continuity systems, or (B) that Service Provider is obligated by applicable law and/or governmental regulations to retain; provided that Service Provider shall neither retrieve nor use any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than that specified in the foregoing clause (B) and Service Provider maintains the same level of security as required by this Agreement.
15. Data Privacy and Information Security.
15.1 Undertaking by Service Provider. Without limiting Service Provider’s obligation of confidentiality as further described herein, Service Provider shall be responsible for establishing, maintaining, and upon request providing a written description to SVCE of, a data privacy and information security program, including physical, technical, Item 1d
Attachment 1
Agreement with UtilityAPI, Inc.
-16-
Final Version
administrative, and organizational safeguards, that is reasonably designed to: (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the SVCE Data; (b) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of the SVCE Data; (c) protect against unauthorized disclosure, access to, or use of the SVCE Data; (d) ensure the proper disposal of SVCE Data; and, (e) ensure that all employees, agents, and subcontractors of Service Provider, if any, comply with all of the foregoing. In no case shall the safeguards of Service Provider’s data privacy and information security program used to protect SVCE Data be less stringent than the safeguards used by Service Provider for its own data.
If the Services include handling credit card information, then the Service Provider shall comply at all times with all applicable Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS). Service Provider agrees and warrants that it is responsible for the security of any “cardholder data” that Service Provider possesses, stores, processes or transmits on behalf of the SVCE, and for any impact on the security of SVCE’s cardholder data environment adversely affected by any failure of Company to maintain compliance with provisions of the PCI-DSS applicable to the Services.
SVCE represents and warrants that it will not transfer or direct the transfer, processing, storage or transmittal of any cardholder data through the Services without the prior written consent of Service Provider.
15.2 Audit by Service Provider. No less than annually, Service Provider shall obtain an AICPA SOC 2 Type 2 report (in connection with which Service Provider generally conducts a third-party penetration test of Service Provider’s data network). Upon request of SVCE, Service Provider will provide SVCE with the most recent such SOC 2 Type 2 Report (provided that Service Provider may redact any information that does not relate to the Services). Such report shall constitute UtilityAPI Confidential Information. The parties acknowledge that industry and accounting practices regarding data security audits are subject to change in the future. In the event that Service Provider deems it advisable and appropriate to obtain an independent data security audit or review other than an AICPA Soc 2 Type 2 report, it may do so without violation of this covenant, provided that such replacement audit or review meets or exceeds then-applicable industry standards.
15.3 Right of Audit by SVCE. Without limiting any other audit rights of SVCE, SVCE shall have the right to review Service Provider’s data privacy and information security program prior to the commencement of Services and during the term of the Agreement. No more than once in each 12 month period, SVCE, at its own expense and with no less than 30 days’ prior notice, shall be entitled to have an audit of Service Provider’s data privacy and information security program performed by an independent third-party auditor subject to confidentiality restrictions (with such auditor to be selected by SVCE and reasonably approved by Service Provider). In lieu of an on-site audit, upon request by SVCE, Service Provider agrees to complete, within forty-five (45 days) of receipt, an audit questionnaire provided by SVCE regarding Service Provider’s data privacy and information security program. The results of any such audit or questionnaire shall be treated by SVCE as Confidential Information of Service Provider under Section 14.
Item 1d

Final Version
15.4 Audit Findings. Service Provider shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to implement any required safeguards identified in writing in any audit of Service Provider’s data privacy and information security program, and to the extent that it fails to do so within 60 days of a written request therefor by SVCE, SVCE may terminate this Agreement, and be entitled to a return of any unused prepaid fees.
15.5 Pattern of Violations. It shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement if Service Provider engages in a pattern or practice of accessing, storing, using, or disclosing the Confidential Information in violation of the contractual obligations described herein. Service Provider understands that if SVCE finds that Service Provider is engaged in a pattern or practice of accessing, storing, using, or disclosing Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement SVCE shall promptly cease all disclosures of Confidential Information to Service Provider. Service Provider further understands that if SVCE receives a customer complaint about Service Provider’s misuse of data or other violation of the Disclosure Provisions, SVCE shall promptly cease disclosing that customer’s information to Service Provider and shall notify the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) of the complaint.
15.6 CPUC Compliance. Service Provider shall comply with all applicable consumer protections concerning subsequent disclosure and use set forth in Attachment B to California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decision No. 12-08-045.
15.7 Injunction, Specific Performance or Such Other Relief. Service Provider acknowledges that disclosure or misappropriation of any Confidential Information could cause irreparable harm to SVCE and/or SVCE Customers, the amount of which may be difficult to assess. Accordingly, Service Provider hereby confirms that the SVCE shall be entitled to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction or the CPUC for an injunction, specific performance or such other relief (without posting bond) as may be appropriate in the event of improper disclosure or misuse of its Confidential Information by Service Provider or its employees or representatives. Such right shall, however, be construed to be in addition to any other remedies available to the SVCE, in law or equity.
15.8 [Omitted]
16. Proprietary Rights.
16.1 Pre-existing Materials. SVCE acknowledges that, in the course of performing the Services, Service Provider may use software and related processes, instructions, methods, and techniques that have been previously developed by Service Provider (collectively, the “Pre-existing Materials,” which shall include the Services) and that the same shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Service Provider.
16.2 Software & Services. SVCE acknowledges that Service Provider exclusively owns and shall retain all right, title and interest in and to (a) the Services including all software components and code thereof, and all improvements, enhancements, derivative works, or modifications thereto, (b) any software, applications, inventions or other technology developed in connection with the Services, and (c) all intellectual property rights related to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Services Assets”); provided that SVCE shall Item 1d
Attachment 1

Final Version
have the limited right to access and use the Services to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement.
16.3 No License. Except as expressly set forth herein, no license or rights are granted by either party to the other with respect to the Confidential Information, the Services Assets, or the Pre-existing Materials. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant to (i) either party any ownership or other interest or license in the other party’s Confidential Information, except to the extent explicitly provided in this Agreement, or (ii) to SVCE any ownership or other interest in the Services Assets or Pre-existing Materials.
16.4 The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
17. Indemnification.
17.1 General Indemnification. Service Provider agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SVCE and its officers, directors, agents, attorneys and employees (each, an “Indemnitee“) from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, expenses, fines or judgments resulting from any claims, demands, suits or causes of action brought by any third party (each, a “Claim,” and collectively, the “Claims“), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses incidental thereto, to the extent suffered by, incurred by, accrued against, charged to, or recoverable from any Indemnitee, by reason of any Claim arising out of or caused by the negligence or misconduct of Service Provider or its officers, directors, agents, employees, or subcontractors during the performance of this Agreement, or the breach by Service Provider of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including Claims relating to: (a) bodily injury (including death) or damage to tangible personal or real property to the extent caused by the negligence or misconduct of Service Provider or its officers, directors, agents, employees, or subcontractors during the performance of this Agreement; (b) any payment required to be paid to subcontractors, if any, of Service Provider; (c) any breach of a representation or warranty of Service Provider set forth in this Agreement; (d) any unauthorized destruction, access, use, or theft of SVCE Data (collectively, “cyber theft”) to the extent caused by the negligence or misconduct of Service Provider or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees, or subcontractors or by any breach by Service Provider of any of its obligations under this Agreement; or (e) any material breach by Service Provider of any covenant set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity obligations shall not apply to the extent that the applicable Claim resulted from the negligence, misconduct or breach of this Agreement by SVCE or any Indemnitee.
17.2 Proprietary Rights Indemnification. Service Provider agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Indemnitees from and against any and all third-party Claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses incidental thereto, which may be suffered by, incurred by, accrued against, charged to, or recoverable from any Indemnitee, by reason of any Claim arising out of or relating to the Services allegedly or actually infringing or misappropriating any United States or foreign patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, or other proprietary right (an “Infringement Claim”). The foregoing obligation does not apply to any Claims arising from any modification or use of the Services by SVCE not in accordance with this Agreement.
Item 1d

Final Version
In the event that Service Provider is enjoined from providing the Services and such injunction is not dissolved within thirty (30) calendar days, or in the event that SVCE is adjudged, in any final order of a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is taken, to have infringed upon or misappropriated any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, or other proprietary right in the access or use of the Services, or, if Service Provider otherwise receives information about an infringement claim relating to the Services or believes such a claim is likely, Service Provider may, at its option and expense:
(a) obtain for SVCE the right to continue using such Services; or (b) replace or modify such Services so that they do not infringe upon or misappropriate such proprietary right and are able to be used by SVCE. In the event that Service Provider is unable or determines, in its reasonable judgment, that it is commercially unreasonable to do either of the aforementioned, Service Provider shall terminate this Agreement and reimburse to SVCE any prepaid unused fees and provide Transition Services as set forth in Section 10.
17.3 Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by SVCE of a threat, notice, or filing of any Claim against an Indemnitee, SVCE shall give notice thereof to Service Provider, provided that failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Service Provider of any liability it may have to the Indemnitee except to the extent that Service Provider demonstrates that the defense of the Claim is prejudiced thereby. Service Provider shall have sole control of the defense and of all negotiations for settlement of a Claim and SVCE shall not independently defend or respond to a Claim; provided, however, that: (a) SVCE may defend or respond to a Claim (with the reasonable out-of-pocket expense thereof to be borne by Service Provider), solely to the extent that SVCE’s counsel determines, in its sole discretion, that such defense or response is necessary to preclude a default judgment from being entered against an Indemnitee and, (b) SVCE shall have the right, at its own expense, to monitor Service Provider’s defense of a Claim. At Service Provider’s request, SVCE shall reasonably cooperate with Service Provider in defending against or settling a Claim; provided, however, that Service Provider shall reimburse SVCE for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by SVCE (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in providing such cooperation.
17.4 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing, express or implied, in this Agreement is intended to benefit, or to create or be construed to create any rights of enforcement in any persons or entities who are neither signatories to this Agreement nor Indemnitees.
17.5 The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
18. Limitation of Liability.
18.1 EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS COVERED BY THE DATA PROTECTION LIABILITY CAP (SECTION 18.2) AND LIABILITY ARISING UNDER SERVICE PROVIDER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 17, SERVICE PROVIDER’S TOTAL

20. General.
20.1 Relationship between SVCE and Service Provider. Service Provider represents and warrants that it is an independent contractor with no authority to contract for SVCE or in any way to bind or to commit SVCE to any agreement of any kind or to assume any liabilities of any nature in the name of or on behalf of SVCE. Under no circumstances shall Service Provider, or any of its staff, if any, hold itself out as or be considered an agent employee, joint venturer, or partner of SVCE. In recognition of Service Provider’s status as an independent contractor, SVCE shall carry no Workers’ Compensation insurance or any health or accident insurance to cover Service Provider or Service Provider’s agents or staff, if any. SVCE shall not pay any contributions to Social Security, unemployment insurance, federal or state withholding taxes, any other applicable taxes whether federal, state, or local, nor provide any other contributions or benefits which might be expected in an employer-employee relationship. Neither Service Provider nor its staff, if any, shall be eligible for, participate in, or accrue any direct or indirect benefit under any other compensation, benefit, or pension plan of SVCE.
20.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the federal laws of the United States of America.
Service Provider hereby consents and submits to the jurisdiction and forum of the state and federal courts in the County of Santa Clara, State of California, in all questions and controversies arising out of this Agreement.
20.3 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In any arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding by which one party either seeks to enforce this Agreement or seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations under this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party’s costs and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
20.4 Compliance with Laws. Each of the parties agrees to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, executive orders and regulations issued, where applicable to the provision or use of the Services.
20.5 Cooperation. Where agreement, approval, acceptance, consent or similar action by either party hereto is required by any provision of this Agreement, such action shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. Each party will reasonably cooperate with the other by, among other things, making available, as reasonably requested by the other, appropriate information, approvals, and acceptances in order that each party may properly accomplish its obligations and responsibilities hereunder. Service Provider will reasonably cooperate with any SVCE supplier performing services, and all parties supplying hardware, software, communication services, and other services and products to SVCE, including, without limitation, the Successor Service Provider. Service Provider agrees to reasonably cooperate with such suppliers, and shall not commit or permit any act which may interfere with the performance of services by any such supplier.
20.6 Force Majeure; Excused Performance. Neither party shall be liable for delays or any failure to perform the Services or this Agreement due to causes beyond its reasonable control. Such causes include, but are not limited to, fire, explosion, earthquake, flood or Item 1d

other natural catastrophe, acts of war or terror, cyber-warfare, civil unrest, epidemics, governmental legislation, acts, orders, or regulation, strikes or labor difficulties, internet service provider or communication line outages, and denial of service attacks, to the extent not caused by the fault or negligence of the delayed party. Any such excuse for delay or failure to perform shall last only as long as the event remains beyond the reasonable control of the delayed party. However, the delayed party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the delays caused by any such event beyond its reasonable control. Where Service Provider fails to use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such delays, the delays shall be included in the determination of Service Level achievement. The delayed party must notify the other party promptly upon the occurrence of any such event, or performance by the delayed party will not be considered excused pursuant to this Section, and inform the other party of its plans to resume performance. A force majeure event does not excuse Service Provider from fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the requirements of backup and recovery of SVCE Data. In no event shall any of the following constitute a force majeure event: (a) failure, inadequate performance by or unavailability of Service Provider’s subcontractors, if any; or, (b) configuration changes, other changes, Viruses, or other errors or omissions introduced, or permitted to be introduced, by Service Provider that result in an outage or inability for SVCE to access or use the Services.
Service Provider shall provide a summary or description of its then-current business continuity plan (“Business Continuity Plan”) to SVCE upon SVCE’s written request. The Business Continuity Plan shall include procedures designed to facilitate the resumption of critical operations and technology in the event of a disaster
20.7 Advertising and Publicity. Service Provider shall not refer to SVCE directly or indirectly in any advertisement, news release, or publication, or use any SVCE logo, seal or mark, without prior written approval from SVCE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Service Provider is permitted, in connection with marketing its products and services, to identify SVCE as a customer of the Services and to use and refer to SVCE’s “Data Hive” as an example of the Services (but Service Provider may not reveal any accountholder information in connection with such demos). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider is not permitted to state or imply any endorsements of the Services or Service Provider on behalf of SVCE.
20.8 No Waiver. The failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect that party’s right to enforce such provisions, nor shall the waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement be taken or held to be a waiver of any further breach of the same provision.
20.9 Notices. Any notice given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by personal service or by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid to the addresses appearing at the end of this Agreement, or as changed through written notice to the other party. Notice given by personal service shall be deemed effective on the date it is delivered to the addressee, and notice mailed shall be deemed effective on the third day following its placement in the mail addressed to the addressee.

This Agreement and any and all attached exhibits, each of which is incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede any and all previous representations, understandings, or agreements between SVCE and Service Provider as to the subject matter hereof.

The provisions of this Agreement shall govern over any inconsistent or conflicting provisions contained in any exhibit hereto.

During the term of this Agreement, Service Provider may perform similar services for other clients, but Service Provider and its officers, employees, associates and subcontractors shall not, without SVCE’s prior written approval, perform work for another person or entity for whom Service Provider is not currently performing work that would require Service Provider or one of its officers, employees, associates or subcontractors to abstain from a decision under this Agreement pursuant to a Conflict Statute.

Availability Service Level.
1) Definitions.
(a) “Actual Uptime” means the total minutes in the reporting month of Service Availability. (b) “Service Availability” means Authorized Users are able to access the Services for normal use.
(c) “Maintenance Window” means the total minutes in the reporting month represented by the following days and times during which Service Provider shall maintain the Services:
Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM PST. (d) “Excluded Downtime” means the total minutes in the reporting month during which there is no Service Availability due to:
● Outages not caused by or within the control of Service Provider or its service providers (i.e., outages on SVCE’s network or telecommunication services, denial of service attacks)
● Downtime requested by SVCE.
● Outages caused by force majeure events under Section 20.6. (e) “Allowed Downtime” shall mean the total minutes in the reporting month represented by the Maintenance Window plus Excluded Downtime.
(f) “Scheduled Uptime” shall mean the total minutes in the reporting month lessthe Allowed Downtime.
3) Calculation. (Actual Uptime / Scheduled Uptime) * 100 = Percentage Uptime (rounded to the first decimal point)
4) Performance Credit. Where Percentage Uptime is less than 99.9% for any month, SVCE shall be due a Performance Credit in the amount of 10% of such month’s Services Fees for each full 1% reduction in Percentage Uptime; but no such Performance Credit may be greater than 30% of the Services Fee for such reporting month.
5) Example Calculation.
(a) Assuming reporting month is January 2022 (44,640 minutes in month total). (b) Maintenance Window for such month equals 2,340 minutes and Excluded Downtime (assumed) is 60 minutes, therefore Allowed Downtime equals 2,400 minutes. (e) Scheduled Uptime equals 42,240 minutes (44,640 total monthly minutes minus 2,400 minutes of Allowed Downtime).
(f) Assuming that Actual Uptime is equal to 41,500 minutes, the Percentage Uptime is calculated as follows: (41,500 / 42,240) *100 = 98.3%.
Item 1d
Attachment 1
Agreement with UtilityAPI, Inc.
-32-
Final Version
(e) The threshold of 99.9% less the Percentage Uptime of 98.3% = 1.6% reduction from the threshold.
(f) The difference is greater than a 1% reduction from the threshold but is less than a 2% reduction; therefore, SVCE is due 10% of the Services Fees as a Performance Credit.

Staff Report – Item 1e
Item 1e: Adopt Resolution Amending SVCE Conflict of Interest Code to Add Multiple Positions From: Girish Balachandran, CEO
Prepared by: Kevin Armstrong, Administrative Services Manager Date: 4/13/2022
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution 2022-12 amending the SVCE Conflict of Interest Code to add the positions of Audit Committee Member and Regulatory and Compliance Manager to the list of designated positions for filing.
BACKGROUND
Shortly after the formation of SVCEA, the Board of Directors adopted a conflict-of-interest code as required by the Political Reform Act, commencing at Government Code Section 81000. The code lists the positions within the Authority that are required to file statements of economic interests (Form 700). As a joint powers authority with members located entirely within Santa Clara County, the County Board of Supervisors is the conflict code reviewing body that is required to approve all changes to the conflict-of-interest code. County Counsel has advised that when positions are added or removed from the conflict code, a new resolution must be adopted approving a new conflict of interest code with the added or removed position(s).
At the September 8, 2021 Board meeting, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution 2021-22 approving the creation of a personnel system to insure equitable and uniform policies and procedures for administering personnel matters in compliance with applicable laws; designating the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) as Personnel Officer; and delegating authority to the CEO to carry out all duties necessary to implement the personnel system.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
Two positions have been identified as needing to file since the last conflict of interest code was adopted in February 2022: Audit Committee Member and Regulatory and Compliance Manager. The role of Audit Committee Member had never included a person outside of SVCE’s Board of Directors, until committee appointments made in February 2022 included a member of agency staff. With the appointment of Committee member Vickie Rahman of Gilroy, the position of Audit Committee Member needs to be added to SVCE’s code.
The Regulatory and Compliance Manager position was created as part of the FY21-22 budget within the authority of the Personnel Officer.
SVCE staff and general counsel feel these positions should report financial interests in the proposed assigned disclosure categories based on the decisions he/she will be making:
Designated Position Assigned Disclosure Category
Audit Committee Member 2
Regulatory and Compliance Manager 2
In accordance with the requirements of the Political Reform Act and the County of Santa Clara, a new conflict of interest code must be adopted by resolution which includes the newly created or identified positions as well as any changes to the existing Conflict of Interest Code. The attached resolution amends Appendix A to Item 1e
/ A"\ SILICON VALLEY

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SILICON VALLEY CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY AMENDING THE AUTHORITY’S CONFLICT OF INTEREST
CODE TO ADD MULTIPLE POSITIONS
WHEREAS, the Silicon Valley Clean Energy Authority (“Authority”) was formed on March 31, 2016 pursuant to a Joint Powers Agreement to study, promote, develop, conduct, operate, and manage energy programs in Santa Clara County; and WHEREAS, the Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 81000, et seq., (the “Political Reform Act”) requires each public agency in California, including the Authority, to adopt and promulgate a conflict of interest code; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 87306 requires each public agency in California to amend its conflict of interest code when change is necessitated by a change in circumstances, including the creation of new positions and relevant changes to the duties assigned to existing positions; and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Authority has adopted a conflict of interest code, and has amended this code as appropriate due to changed circumstances, with the most recent code adopted by Resolution 2022-05; and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors, after consultation with the County of Santa Clara as its code reviewing body, desires to amend the list of designated positions in Appendix A by amending multiple titles and adding multiple positions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of the Authority rescinds Resolution No. 2022-05 and adopts the following attached Conflict of Interest Code including its Appendices of Designated Positions and Disclosure Categories.

SILICON VALLEY CLEAN ENERGY AUTHORITY
CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
The Political Reform Act (Government Code § 81000, et seq., hereinafter referred to as the Act) requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict of interest codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission (“FPPC”) has adopted a regulation (2 California Code of Regulations § 18730) which contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code, which can be incorporated by reference in an agency’s code. After public notice and hearing, the standard code may be amended by the FPPC to conform to amendments in the Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations § 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the FPPC are hereby incorporated by reference.
This regulation and the text here designating positions and establishing disclosure categories shall constitute the conflict of interest code of the Silicon Valley Clean Energy Authority (“Authority”).
The most current version of 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18730 is available on the website of the Fair Political Practices Commission
(http://www.fppc.ca.gov/content/dam/fppc/NS-Documents/LegalDiv/Regulations/Index/Chapter7/Article2/18730.pdf).
Individuals holding a designated position shall file their Statements of Economic Interests with the Authority’s Filing Official, which will make the Statements available for public inspection and reproduction subject to Government Code section 81008. If Statements are received in signed paper format, the Authority’s Filing Official shall make and retain a copy and forward the original Statements to the Filing Officer, the County of Santa Clara Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. If Statements are electronically filed using the County of Santa Clara’s Form 700 e-filing system, both the Authority’s Filing Official and the County of Santa Clara Clerk of the Board of Supervisors will receive access to the e-filed Statements simultaneously.

Resolution 2022-12 -6-
position-holder, and which specific position title is not yet listed in the Authority’s conflict of interest code is included in the list of designated positions and shall disclose pursuant to the broadest disclosure category in the code, subject to the following limitation: The Chief Executive Officer of the Authority may determine in writing that a particular newly created position, although a “designated position,” is hired to perform a range of duties that are limited in scope and thus is not required to fully comply with the broadest disclosure requirements, but instead must comply with more tailored disclosure requirements specific to that newly created position. Such written determination shall include a description of the newly created position's duties and, based upon that description, a statement of the extent of disclosure requirements. The Chief Executive Officer’s determination is a public record and shall be retained for public inspection in the same manner and location as this conflict-of-interest code. (Gov. Code Section 81008.)

Staff Report – Item 1f
Item 1f: Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute Amendment to Agreement with Joint Venture Silicon Valley to Add Convening Support for a Building Electrification Stakeholder Group
From: Girish Balachandran, CEO
Prepared by: Justin Zagunis, Director of Decarbonization and Grid Innovation Zoe Elizabeth, Manager of Energy Services
Date: 4/13/2022
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the SVCE Board of Directors authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute the second amendment to SVCE’s agreement with Joint Venture Silicon Valley (JVSV), extending the term of the agreement to March 31, 2023, amending the not to exceed amount to $138,000, and amending the scope of services.
BACKGROUND
In 2019, SVCE contracted with JVSV to provide administrative and coordination support to facilitate Silicon Valley Transportation Electrification Clearinghouse (“SVTEC”). Due to the success of SVTEC, the agreement with JVSV was amended in 2020 to extend services.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
The proposed second contract amendment would expand the scope of work to include supporting a similar network to SVTEC focused on building electrification. JVSV will work with SVCE to launch a building electrification focused working group in spring 2022, and will help host ongoing quarterly meetings.
The budget would increase by $50,000 to cover this expansion and the timeline would be extended by one quarter to 3/31/2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as these funds were approved and budgeted for as part of the Building Electrification Joint Action Plan.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Board receive and accept the Q1 2022 Update of the Decarbonization Strategy & Programs Roadmap.
BACKGROUND
To achieve its mission to reduce dependence on fossil fuels by providing carbon-free, affordable and reliable electricity and innovative programs for the community, SVCE established a decarbonization strategy and programs roadmap (abbv. “Roadmap”). In December 2018, the Board approved the Roadmap, and since that time, staff have been working on implementation.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
Attachment 1 is the most recent quarterly update, covering January through March 2022. The quarterly update includes a table with a summary of updates and next steps for each initiative.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This item supports SVCE’s 2021-2022 Strategic Plan Goal 8, to “coordinate development of decarbonization strategy, lead design of local policy and programs, and support program deployment,” to support achieving energy and transportation GHG reductions of 30% from the 2015 baseline by 2021, 40% by 2025, and 50% by 2030.
FISCAL IMPACT
Accepting the Q1 2022 Update of the Decarbonization Strategy & Programs Roadmap has no fiscal impact.

Staff Report – Item 1h
Item 1h: Receive 2022 New Construction Reach Codes and Existing Building Policy Update From: Girish Balachandran, CEO
Prepared by: Don Bray, Director of Account Services and Community Relations Zoe Elizabeth, Manager of Energy Services
Date: 4/13/2022
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that the Board of Directors receive an update from the Account Services and Community Relations team on New Construction Reach Codes and Existing Building Electrification Policies.
BACKGROUND
In 2019, SVCE offered technical support to member jurisdictions that were evaluating options for amending the state’s 2020 building code. Eleven of SVCE’s jurisdiction’s passed reach codes applying to the 2019 building code. These reach codes (with the exception of those passed by Morgan Hill and Campbell) will expire 12/31/2022.
Staff is in the process of supporting member agencies with core technical assistance and supportive elements, to adopt, renew, or enhance these codes. In addition, staff is in the process of developing resources that will support policies for existing building electrification.
An initial update was provided to the Board of Directors at the March 9, 2022 board meeting.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
In an effort to continue communications with the Board of Directors on reach codes, staff has summarized the 2022 state building code key electrification updates, reviewed the new construction reach code update process and key milestones, and provided an overview of the process for assessing existing building policy options in the attached presentation.
STRATEGIC PLAN
These efforts support SVCE’s Strategic Plan Goal 8, “coordinate development of decarbonization and resilience strategy, lead design of local policy and programs, and support program deployment.”

Existing buildings are the greatest challenge and opportunity for local decarbonization efforts.
1. Our consultants are assessing which electrification measures are no-cost or low cost.
Example: all-new AC should be bi-directional (heat pump)
2. Staff is designing incentive programs to off-set the incremental costs of electrification.
Example: incentives for heat pump water heaters
3. Staff is identifying the key stakeholder groups we need to engage.
Example: contractors, tenant organizations, etc.
4. Consultants are compiling examples of action elsewhere.
Example: Piedmont, Denver, Sacramento

Local action is pushing California
forward.
Most local reach codes still exceed the 2022 state code and we can't lose momentum
The upswell of reach code adoption across California spurred the State to move faster on electrification.
Continued local action will help ensure we maintain momentum.
New construction remains the most cost-effective and practical time to electrify.

Staff Report – Item 1i
Item 1i: Executive Committee Report
To: Silicon Valley Clean Energy Board of Directors
Prepared by: George Tyson, Chair of the Executive Committee Date: 4/13/2022
At the March 25, 2022 Executive Committee meeting, the committee received an update on potential plans for the return to in-person SVCE board/committee meetings, and heard an update on the Member Agency Energy Resilience Grant.
CEO Girish Balachandran announced a celebration of SVCE’s 5-year anniversary would be held in association with the City of Cupertino’s Earth and Arbor Day festival on Saturday, April 23, and noted staff was working on a reorganization plan.
Administrative Services Manager Kevin Armstrong presented on the current state of in-person Brown Act meetings, pending legislation that could affect Brown Act teleconferencing requirements, and preparation for the possible return of stricter meeting requirements. Committee members discussed how SVCE staff could assist Directors and Committee members in remote meetings, work with member agency staff to secure a public meeting location if needed, and a proposed timeline for testing a hybrid (in-person and remote) meeting. There was no objection from the committee to hold a hybrid meeting for the May 13, 2022 Board of Directors meeting, and the idea will be presented to the Board of Directors for consideration.
Manager of Energy Services Zoe Elizabeth provided a status update on Community Energy Resilience Grant applications and projects, outlining the grant, allocated funds by member agency, available funds by member agency, and next steps for staff.

REPORT
SVCE Staff Update
Nupur Hiremath will join the SVCE team on April 11, 2022, as Manager of Decarbonization and Grid Innovation Programs. She will work on deploying decarbonization programs across SVCE’s portfolio in support of the double down and other planned initiatives. Prior to SVCE, Nupur served for seven years as an Environmental Programs Manager at the City of Sunnyvale, leading the development and implementation of the City's climate action plan, with a focus on energy efficiency and electrification programs. She also worked at an environmental consulting firm for nine years on federal policy development and research on climate change impacts on urban areas. Nupur holds a B.S. in Biochemistry from Davidson College and a Master of Public Administration degree from Columbia University.
SVCE Celebrating Five Years of Power
Since 2017, SVCE has been providing carbon-free power to our residents and businesses. Please join us at a special booth at the Cupertino Earth and Arbor Day Festival on Saturday, April 23, at 10400 Torre Ave., Cupertino to celebrate our five years of service.
Personnel Officer Update
For the past month, SVCE has a couple updates of note. First, the Decarbonization and Grid Innovations (DGI) Program team welcomed Nupur Hiremath earlier this week as a new manager on the team, focusing on transportation and mobility programs. Secondly, on the Regulatory and Legislative team, SVCE has extended an offer to a new Regulatory and Compliance manager, who will be starting at the end of April, and will be introduced next month. On the benefits side, staff have implemented the increase to monthly benefit premium coverages, and have begun to evaluate additional benefit changes to be brought forward with the upcoming annual budget proposal.
Overshadowing these additions and changes, however, is the larger structural re-organization effort that we are implementing. This Monday, April 11th, marks the cutover date, as SVCE has instituted a number of reporting changes. Several staff from the Account Services and Community Relations (ASCR) team have begun to operate under the DGI structure, and several (currently vacant) regulatory positions within the Legislative & Regulatory team have been moved over to Monica's Power team. With these changes, we recognize a need for new team names, to reflect newly-evolved structures and communicate new foci. Early ideas have included the Customer Care and Communications team, the Energy Policy, Planning, Procurement, and Operations (E3PO) and Decarbonization Programs, Policy, Deployment, and Data. Rest assured, staff is hoping to find new names that don't tie all our tongues in knots.
Our admin team will be preparing a new org chart as soon as all the dust settles, to be followed shortly by a concerted effort to fill vacant positions, beginning with a broad recruitment for a new, full-time Director of ASCR / Item 2
IA'\ SILICON VALLEY ~ CLEAN ENERGY
Agenda Item: 2 Agenda Date: 4/13/2022
Customer Care, allowing Don Bray to fully transition to his new special projects role. We look forward filling vacancies across all teams in the coming months.
As part of this larger re-organization several positions have been re-classified across the new teams. Foremost among those changes is the promotion of Monica Padilla to Chief Operating Officer, overseeing the combined E3PO group. Within her team, we are also elevating the roles of Charles Grinstead and Zakary Liske, each of whom will be taking on Senior Manager titles. On the DGI and Admin teams, we are promoting Zoe Elizabeth and Kevin Armstrong to the newly-created Deputy Director level, in recognition of the scope of their efforts on behalf of SVCE. Finally, we are also promoting Rebecca Fang to the Senior Data Analyst level, in acknowledgment of her ongoing stewardship of SVCE data.

Additional Support for Permit Simplification
On March 9, SVCE Board Members approved an additional budget of $3 million to support the Permit Simplification Program. In response, staff has begun developing an initial work plan outlining SVCE’s activities to support efficient permitting and inspection processes for building retrofits and EV infrastructure across member agencies. Support includes identifying best practices, promoting educational resources, providing technical assistance, and establishing online permit data tracking methods for all relevant permit types.
In addition, SVCE staff will also monitor state-led permitting programs such as the TECH Permitting Pilot and the CA Automated Permit Processing Program.
In the quarterly Silicon Valley Transportation Electrification Clearinghouse (SVTEC) meeting hosted by SVCE, representatives from BloombergNEF led a discussion on the current outlook of electric vehicles (EVs) and the state of the market. In addition, SVCE presented on the new funding allocated toward EV
programs through the "Program Double-Down" and led a
discussion to encourage feedback and comments on how to shape these future programs to further increase EV adoption and accessibility for multifamily residents.
