Item 3

PRESENTATION
Housing crisis well-documented in SV
Affordable housing challenging to fund and construct
State law now making local governments more "responsible" for actual housing production - not just zoning
State regulations, trends, and climate action activities are increasing the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road
Charging at home is strongly preferred and least costly way to charge EVs Electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVI) is an emerging cost component in housing production
SVCE approved $1.5M in funding assistance for affordable housing development to meet EVI reach codes via "double-down" budget allocation rA, s1L1coN VALLEY ~ CLEAN ENERGY 3

Item 3

PRESENTATION
Base State Code will take effect in January
For EVI, calls for mix of high-power, mid-power, and low-power charging opportunities
Provides charging opportunities for 40% of the number of units rA, s1L1coN VALLEY ~ CLEAN ENERGY 4

•
Item 3

PRESENTATION
SVCE Recommended Reach Code for EVI at
Multi-family Developments
Both equity considerations and climate action considerations call for multi-family occupants to have access to EVI at home
SVCE model reach code calls for access to 100% of the units, e.g., a 100-unit apartment building would need a total of 100 opportunities to charge Mix of high-power Level 2 and low-power Level 1 chargers in order to balance access and cost
Increases development cost by approximately $1,000 per unit over State Code rA, s1L1coN VALLEY ~ CLEAN ENERGY 5
•
•
•
•
Item 3

PRESENTATION
Cost Implications of SVCE Model Reach Code
Given cost of producing housing, $1,000 per unit is not terribly significant Given depth of housing problem and challenge to construct affordable units, any increase will be considered significant by some
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) numbers call for 7,564 very low income and low income units in the SVCE territory to be built in this 8-year cycle At $1,000 per unit, the collective construction cost increase is $7.5M during the three-year period
rA, s1L1coN VALLEY ~ CLEAN ENERGY 6

Item 3

PRESENTATION
Request that EC recommend to the Board the
following approach for EVI Support
Current budget allocation is $1.5M; max impact of model code is $7.5M Staff recommended approach:

1. Consistent with our Equity Framework, SVCE states it is committed to ensuring that residents in new affordable housing developments have equal access to EV charging opportunities by funding the incremental costs of EVI associated with the SVCE recommended model code for this cycle; and

2. Authorize staff to re-allocate unspent or future programs dollars up to $6M to cover the impact of the EVI model code on affordable housing - dollars would be added above the currently budgeted $1.5M as needed, depending on how many jurisdictions adopt the code and construction that actually occurs. Additional funds from future programs allocations will be incorporated into the recommended budget presented to the Board.

PRESENTATION
Strategic Focus Areas: Impacts all five strategic focus areas

1. Revenues
Issue
PG&E's preliminary 2023 rate forecast,
issued 5/21, is based on outdated market
prices. Results in lower SVCE revenues
than likely the case.

Attempt to calibrate NewGen Model to
likely prices used by PG&E overstates
rates by N15-20%.

Staff Recommendation
Use latest market data in
NewGen model and
discount results (reduce
headroom) by 20% for
modeling error.

Implications/Reasons
Likely aligns revenues
closer to rates that PG&E
will update in October.

Better aligns revenues
with power supply costs
Primarily for budget
setting purposes.

Additional expenditures
based on headroom
projections will be made
by the Board likely in
December when actual
PG&E and PCIA rates are
known.

Strategic Focus Areas: Impacts all five strategic focus areas

2. Reserve
Targets
Issue
Ensure SVCE maintains sufficient
reserves to manage risks such as
those modeled under Stress Test
Scenario Two.

Prices collapse reducing revenues
and there's additional draw on
reserves from increase in financial
posting requirements to the
Provider of Last Resort (PG&E).

Use stress test 2 scenario
assumptions and update for Fiscal
Year period (Oct 2022 to Sep 2023) and
latest market data
Staff Recommendation
Target to keep reserves above 120
Days Cash On Hand (DCOH) for
FY 2022-2023 and FY 2023-2024
(under stress test scenario 2 assumptions)
Reset Upper Reserve Target such
that over the next 5 fiscal years
reserves do not fall below 90
DCOH
Implications/Reasons
FY 23 margins not
guaranteed given true-up
in 2024 for PCIA and
PG&E Gen rate
If adverse conditions
materialize, need 120
days to reshape strategy
and secure additional
liquidity
Increase upper reserve
target to take advantage
of good margin years to
manage risks over 5-year
period

PRESENTATION

4. Power
Supply
>90% of
Expenses
Strategic Focus Areas: Supplier of Choice, 24x7 Clean Energy Delivery Issue
Power prices are near record high levels
and market is very volatile
In addition to PG&E Gen Rate and PCIA
uncertainty, power price volatility makes
budget projections more uncertain
Currently hedged N70%
Remaining 30% exposed to volatile
market prices
Preliminary projections show load has not
recovered to pre-COVID level.

Pre-COVID: 3.95 TWh
Projection: 3.85TWH
Contract delays/renegotiations further add
uncertainty
Cost of carbon-free energy is high due to low
hydro conditions. PG&E allocations help
Resource Adequacy requirements are changing,
and costs are high
Staff Recommendation
Continue hedging to current ERM
(Energy Risk Management) targets
Staff conducting additional analyses of
hedging targets based on stress test
findings. Recommendations to be
developed later.

Continue with SVCE 100% clean policy
Purchasing remaining carbon free
allocations expected to cost about
$0.7 million to $6 million depending
on PG&E allocations.

Implications/Reasons
High hedge targets increase
risk to price collapse; does not
account for correlation of prices
to PCIA and PG&E Gen rate
Need further analysis before
changing policy given
challenges of uncertainty in
modeling PCIA and PG&E Gen
Rates
Maintain high customer value
proposition with 100% clean
energy and serve SVCE
mission
Furthers SVCE focus toward
24x7 clean energy goal

Item 4

PRESENTATION
Summary - Despite ongoing
uncertainty, the overall financial
picture looks good for FY22-23
Biggest risks include late-year adjustments to
PCIA / PG&E Gen Rate and significant volatility in . power prices Reserve targets increase to account for risks as
modeled in the stress test analyses
Keep 1% customer discount rate and revisit once
PG&E and PCIA rates are known
Power supply costs will increase, but margins
showing favorable improvement
Budget increases for operating expenses other
than power supply needed to advance strategic
focus areas including retaining and attracting
employees, reducing operational risks, and
enhancing operational efficiency.

CURRENT STATE

1. Small group of people managing multiple
large transactions (~$275MM annually)

2. Leveraging many consultants & outside
experts

3. Adapting to new regulations continuously

4. Manual and labor-intensive processes
create operational and business
continuity risks

5. Non-integrated data impedes ability to
efficiently and effectively make insightful
data-driven decisions

PRESENTATION
© Value of Deal Capture and Settlements
Scale of SVCE's Wholesale Portfolio
SVCE's wholesale portfolio is scheduled and settled at an hourly and sub-hourly basis
Monthly settlements with suppliers are payables of over $25M per month and based on over 348K rows of data
CAISO settlements have approximately 20 highly
relevant charge codes applicable to SVCE's portfolio and CAISO settles each trading day 5 times resulting in nearly 35M rows of data per month and over $SOM in total
costs and revenues
Sheer magnitude of portfolio requires a Deal Capture and Settlements system
Not manageable with spreadsheets (Excel limit is N1M rows) Significant operational risk if SVCE operates without a scalable system
System is basis for confidence in accuracy of SVCE's portfolio costs and revenues
