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.

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 Silicon Valley Clean Energy Revised: May 26, 2022

PPA – Power Purchase Agreement – A contract used to purchase the energy, capacity and attributes from a renewable resource project.
PRM – Planning Reserve Margin – Additional level of procurement required in the RA program above the expected peak requirement to account for variability in supply (e.g. plant outages) and demand (e.g. extreme weather). Currently set at 15%.
PSPS – Public Safety Power Shutoff – An event in which the IOUs purposely turn off segments of the grid due to high risk of ignition and wildfires.
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 to contribute their share of system reliability. Today LSEs must procure no less than 115% of the peak hour load. In 2023 and 2024, this will increase to 116% and 117% respectively. Beginning in 2025 a new RA program will be implemented requiring LSEs show capacity to meet their hourly reliability needs, the “PRM” adder is still undetermined.
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.

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.
Silicon Valley Clean Energy Revised: May 26, 2022
5 VPP – Virtual Power Plant – A cloud-based energy supply made up of a collection of an aggregation of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as smart EV chargers, smart thermostats, building energy management systems, battery storage systems, solar PV and smart inverters.

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, General Counsel
Prepared by: Trisha Ortiz, General Counsel
Date: 1/11/2023
RECOMMENDATION
To continue meetings to be held via teleconferencing pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e), adopt the attached Resolution 2023-01 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: 1/11/2023
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.
The list below identifies the board meeting dates and corresponding resolutions 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(e). 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 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 1e
Item 1e: Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute Amendments to the Project Participation Share Agreements with California Community Power and Participating Community Choice Aggregators Related to Two Long Duration Storage Projects and Two Firm Clean Resource Projects
From: Girish Balachandran, CEO
Prepared by: Monica Padilla, COO and Director of Power Resources Zakary Liske, Senior Manager of Power Operations
Date: 1/11/2023
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to execute on behalf of Silicon Valley Clean Energy Authority (SVCE) as a member of California Community Power (“CC Power”) the following amendments to Project Participation Share Agreements (PPSA), and any necessary ancillary documents for the two Long Duration Storage (LDS) projects and two Firm Clean Resources (FCR) projects between CC Power, participating Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) and SVCE:
1. Amendment No. 1 to Tumbleweed Energy Storage PPSA– Attachment 1
2. Amendment No. 1 to Goal Line Energy Storage PPSA – Attachment 2
3. Amendment No. 1 to Fish Lake Geothermal PPSA – Attachment 3
4. Amendment No. 1 to ORGP LLP Geothermal Portfolio PPSA– Attachment 4
BACKGROUND
Through the 2020 Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) proceeding, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) had identified the need for additional clean energy resources and capacity including firm and/or baseload clean resources, and storage including longer-duration storage to enable grid integration of a large fleet of intermittent resources to meet California’s greenhouse gas emission reduction goals and to replace several natural gas once-through-cooling (OTC) resources and possibly the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (DCNPP) slated to retire between 2023 and 2025.
In February 2022, SVCE Board authorized participation in Tumbleweed Energy Storage, the first CC Power approved LDS project resulting from the Joint LDS RFO: Item 5, SVCE Feb. 9, 2022 Board of Directors Meeting.
In March 2022, SVCE Board authorized participation in Goal Line Storage, the second CC Power approved LDS project resulting from the Joint LDS RFP: Item 5, SVCE Mar. 9, 2022 Board of Directors Meeting.
In June 2022, SVCE Board authorized participation in ORGP LLP Geothermal Portfolio and Fish Lake Geothermal projects, the first and second CC Power approved FCR projects resulting from the FCR RFO: Item 4, SVCE Jun. 8, 2022 Board of Directors Meeting.
Subsequent to CC Power and SVCE Board approval of the LDS and FCR projects, the CC Power Board developed a three-year Strategic Business Plan which would help define CC Power’s objectives and help to inform CC Power’s actions moving forward. The Final Strategic Business Plan was adopted by the CC Power Board in December 2022. The plan makes various recommendations associated with the governance of CC Item 1e
/ A"\ SILICON VALLEY
~CLEAN ENERGY
Agenda Item: 1e Agenda Date: 1/11/2023
Power and the responsibilities of the General Manager and CC Power members participating in specific projects (“Project Participants”). Further, the plan recommends CC Power hire a full-time General Manager and transfer many responsibilities from the Project Participants to the General Manager. These changes incorporate comments from Project Participants’ staff, including SVCE staff: Item 6B and 6D, CC Power Dec. 14, 2022 Board of Directors Meeting.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
Project Participation Share Agreements (PPSA) – Under the PPSAs, Project Participants agree to fund CC Power’s payment obligations so that CC Power can make timely payments under the applicable LDS Energy Storage Service Agreements and FCR Power Purchase Agreements (“ESSA/PPA”). The PPSA also addresses how Project Participants will (1) share revenue from CC Power’s sales of energy and ancillary services from the LDS and FCR facility into the CAISO market, (2) direct CC Power’s actions under the ESSA/PPA, and (3) step in, with a cap, to cover any member default in order to avoid a CC Power default under the ESSA/PPA.
The amendments to the PPSAs do not change the overall mechanics for (1) funding CC Power’s ESSA/PPA payment obligations, (2) sharing revenue and value from project attributes, and (3) how member defaults are covered. The amendments do change how CC Power’s actions are directed and taken.
The original PPSAs put a significant amount of the responsibility to project committees composed of Project Participant staff that made recommendations to the CC Power Board. The amendments remove the need for project committees and transfer responsibility to the General Manager, consistent with the CC Power Strategic Business Plan.
The General Manager will still have the opportunity to form ad-hoc and sub-committees for the purpose of advising on the LDS and FCR projects. Of the eight participating CC Power members, at least five have the necessary approvals to amend the PPSAs.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Execution of the amendments supports the goals of the Board adopted Strategic Plan including:
• Goal 2 - Acquire clean and reliable electricity in a cost effective, equitable and sustainable manner • Goal 3 - Manage and optimize power supply resources to meet affordability, GHG reduction and reliability objectives
ALTERNATIVE
SVCE can decide not to agree on the PPSA amendments, which would require CC Power to revisit the PPSAs since all Project Participants must agree to the amendments or revert to the original PPSAs. Neither alternative is recommended as it would delay the effective administration of the ESSA/PPAs for all projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
Amending the four PPSA agreements is not expected to have an additional fiscal impact beyond what was previously approved.

Staff Report – Item 1g
Item 1g: Receive SVCE Rate Schedules Effective January 1, 2023 From: Girish Balachandran, CEO
Prepared by: Adam Selvin, Director of Account Services and Community Relations Peter Mustacich, Energy Services Lead
Peyton Parks, Energy Services Lead
Date: 1/11/2023
RECOMMENDATION
Receive staff report and rate tables for new SVCE rates effective January 1, 2023 at a 4% discount to PG&E, established per the discount approved by the Board on December 14, 2022 by the adoption of Resolution 2022-39, Resolution to Increase SVCE’s Generation Rate Discount, and Dedicate Funding for an Electrification Discount Rate and Multifamily Direct-Install Program.
BACKGROUND
At the December 14, 2022 Board meeting, the Board directed staff to apply an across-the-board 4% discount to PG&E generation rates when calculating new SVCE rates beginning January 1, 2023. At the same meeting, the Board also directed staff to adopt the E-ELEC rate mirroring PG&E’s new residential customer rate.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
PG&E published new generation and PCIA rates on December 31, 2022, which became effective as of January 1, 2023. SVCE rate schedules and associated billing determinants have been updated as referenced in the Attachments, and reflect a 4% discount to PG&E’s comparable generation rates. The rates are currently loaded into the billing system and became effective on January 1, 2023.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Rate setting is directly supported by SVCE Strategic Plan Goal 8 – “Enact and maintain competitive service offerings for SVCE customers that deliver measurable economic and environmental benefits”.
FISCAL IMPACT
As noted in the December 14, 2022 Board presentation on rates, the latest generation and PCIA rates included in PG&E’s November filing indicated the projected net contribution to reserves was anticipated to exceed the original budgeted projections, with an additional $30M available for expenditure. The additional amount available for expenditure was computed using the methodology discussed in adopting the FY 2023 budget that ensure that under stress test scenarios modeled SVCE’s reserves do not fall below 120 days of cash on hand.
During the December 14, 2022 Board of Directors meeting, the Board voted to allocate $19M to customer-focused electrification programs and $11M to increase the overall SVCE generation rate discount from budgeted 2% to 4% across all rate classes.

Staff Report – Item 1h
Item 1h: Approve SVCE Hybrid Meetings Policy
From: Girish Balachandran, CEO
Prepared by: Kevin Armstrong, Deputy Director of Administrative Services Bena Chang, Senior Government Affairs Manager
Andrea Pizano, Board Clerk and Executive Assistant
Date: 1/11/2022
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the SVCE Board of Directors approve policy GAP9, “Hybrid Meetings Policy”.
BACKGROUND
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, legislation that amended 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.
On September 13, 2022, the Governor signed AB 2449, which allows members of a legislative body to meet from a remote location under specific circumstances. The provisions of AB 2449 went into effect on January 1, 2023, and will be discussed in more detail in the Analysis & Discussion section.
On October 17, 2022, Governor Newsom’s office announced that the COVID-19 State of Emergency will end on February 28, 2023. With this announcement, AB 361 can no longer be used following the termination of the emergency order.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
Staff received feedback from the Executive Committee in March 2022 and the Board of Directors in April 2022 that continuing hybrid meetings would be preferred after Governor Newsom’s emergency order was lifted.
At the December 14, 2022 Board of Directors meeting, staff presented an item to initiate discussion on how board and committee meetings could be conducted in a hybrid setting once the emergency order was lifted, with a recommendation to use only traditional Brown Act rules and not exercise AB 2449 unless for emergency situations.
Staff received feedback from board members that a return to traditional Brown Act rules should be the default for future meetings, while attendance under AB 2449 could be requested when a “just cause” or emergency situation arises. The development of an internal meetings policy is meant to provide guidance on how the process of requesting attendance under AB 2449 would be handled.
