Financial Statement Highlights** ($ in millions)
November 30, 2024
November Fiscal YTD
October - customer demand and revenues exceeded SVCE's
forecast, driven by higher-than-average temperatures in October.

Additionally, lower power supply costs and reduced operating expenses further improved the net position.

November - Weaker customer demand was offset by lower power supply cost and reduced operating expenses.
Lower November customer demand was offset by liquidated damage payments Beginning Balance End Balance YTD Contributions YTD Expenditures Lower YTD costs is mostly due to lower energy consumption and gradual decline in energy/attribute prices. Staffing vacancies, underrunning professional services, and lower marketing expenses Reflects budgetary transfers to program and other funds 8,633 K

Staff Report – Item 1e
Item 1e: Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Finalize and Execute Agreement with Ascend Analytics for Three Years with a Not to Exceed Amount of $1,600,000 for Portfolio Management, Procurement and Resource Planning SaaS and Consulting Services
From: Monica Padilla, CEO
Prepared by: Scott Wrigglesworth, Director of Risk Management and Analytics Date: 1/8/2025

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) Board of Directors (Board) authorize the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to finalize and execute a new three-year agreement (Attachment 1) with Ascend Analytics (“Ascend”) for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) consulting services around power portfolio and risk management for a total amount not to exceed (“NTE”) $1,600,000 over three years for April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2028.

If approved, the new agreement will replace the existing Ascend agreement which is effective through March 31, 2025.

BACKGROUND
SVCE has used Ascend Analytics software and consulting services since 2019. In 2021, the Board authorized the CEO to execute a new three-year agreement which was executed and effective October 2021 through September 2024. The Board authorized a six-month extension of the existing contract at its August 14, 2024 meeting.

Staff performed a Request for Proposals (RFP) over the summer of 2024. Staff actively notified eleven potential vendors in addition to its distribution to our solicitations mailing list to ensure a robust set of proposals. Staff obtained two proposals and Ascend was selected based on 1) most competitive pricing, 2) limited staff burden and limited internal effort for implementations, 3) for continuity of operations, and 4) scope of services/response.

ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
The agreement includes both ongoing fees for the continued provision and access to the PowerSimm portfolio management platform, in addition to dedicated consulting hours to be used over the term of the agreement.

Staff may not use all the hours under the agreement and spend below the NTE.

Under this extended agreement, Ascend will continue to provide SVCE with the following services:
• PowerSimm Platform Access & Hosting Fees (ongoing)
• CAISO Market Report and Fundamentals (ongoing)
• Integrated Resource Plan / Virtual Power Plant / Power Supply Resource Request for Offers (RFO) Support
• Term Portfolio Management, Budget, and Customer Service Support Item 1e
SILICON VALLEY \3/ CLEAN ENERGY
Agenda Item: 1e Agenda Date: 1/8/2025

Page 2 of 2 ends

• Finance / Middle-Office Support: Budget, Risk Policy Review and Counterparty Credit Monitoring In addition, SVCE may request the following optional services:
• Additional Integrated Resource Planning Support Hours • Additional RFO Support Hours
• Portfolio Management Contingency Support
• Finance / Middle-Office Contingency Support
• Optional PowerSimm Tools
• Short-Term Portfolio Management Services
Originally, SVCE and Ascend agreed to a three-year term, extending from November 11, 2021 to September 30, 2024, which was extended by six months to March 31, 2025. This new agreement starts April 1, 2025 and is for three years to March 31, 2025.

Of the $1,600,000, approximately $700,000 is for licensed software over the three years and an additional $900,000 is for potential consulting work which will not be paid until after pre-authorized work is completed.

STRATEGIC PLAN
Approval of the attached agreement is in direct support of the Board-approved Strategic Plan as follows:
• Goal 2: Long-term, target for 100% clean energy annually by building a balanced portfolio with consideration for both affordability and reliability while exploring long-term pathways to clean power supply.
• Goal 4: Acquire power supply resources in a cost-effective manner to meet legislative and regulatory obligations, Board directives and customer specific products. • Goal 6: Maintain healthy financial position; avoid failures in management of market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, operational risks, and enterprise risks. • Goal 9: Implement industry best practices to enable data-driven decision making across the organization; enhance systems, standards and procedures to streamline business processes and improve operational effectiveness and reliability (aka SVCE 3.0).

ALTERNATIVE
Alternatives included selection of the vendor with an alternate inferior proposal, active informal demoing and solicitation of other SaaS agreements and industry consultants, or hiring additional staff (likely 3-6 additional FTEs) to build in-house technology and market expertise to avoid reliance upon an external vendor. Going without some form of these services or capabilities would handicap the organization in enforcement of the Energy Risk Management Policy and performance of long-term planning and procurement activities.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this decision is between $700,000 and $1,600,000 over three years, which has been included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget. This level of expenditure is on par with the last Ascend Analytics contract and may represent a decrease in expenditure if not all NTE consulting is consumed, which is an entirely possible outcome.

Attachment 1
Draft Agreement with Ascend Analytics
1/2024 Version 1.0

12. Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. The parties acknowledge that each party may be exposed to or acquire communication or data of the other party that is confidential, privileged communication not intended to be disclosed to third parties. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.1 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; and, (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). For purposes of this Agreement, in all cases and for all matters, SVCE Data shall be deemed to be Confidential Information.

12.2 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.

12.3 Cooperation to Prevent Disclosure of Confidential Information. Each party shall use its best 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 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 Public Records Act . 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 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.

12.4 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 SVCE, at the sole election of SVCE, the immediate termination, without liability to SVCE, of this Agreement.

12.5 Surrender of Confidential Information upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement or an Exhibit A, in whole or in part, each party shall, within five (5) 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 Item 1e
Attachment 1
Draft Agreement with Ascend Analytics
1/2024 Version 1.0
Confidential Information in compliance with the most current version of NIST standard SP800-88, or other standard acceptable to the SVCE, and shall certify the same in writing within five (5) calendar days from the date of termination to the other party.

13. Data Privacy and Information Security.

13.1 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 providing a written description to SVCE of, a data privacy and information security program, including physical, technical, administrative, and organizational safeguards, that comply with or are substantial similar to the security controls identified in the current version of NIST SP800-53, and that is 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.

13.2 Audit by Service Provider. No less than annually, Service Provider shall conduct a comprehensive independent third-party audit of its data privacy and information security program and provide such audit findings to SVCE. The required audit shall be a SOC 2 (or successor standard) compliant audit, and Service Provider shall provide the audit findings in the form of an SOC 2 Type II report.

13.3 Right of Audit by SVCE. Without limiting any other audit rights of SVCE, SVCE shall have the right to review Service Provider’s SOC 2 Type II Report prior to the commencement of Services and from time to time during the term of this Agreement. 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.

13.4 Audit Findings. Service Provider shall implement any required safeguards as identified by SVCE or by any audit of Service Provider’s data privacy and information security program.

13.5 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.

13.6 CPUC Compliance. Service Provider shall comply with the consumer protections concerning subsequent disclosure and use set forth in Attachment B to California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decision No. 12-08-045.

13.7 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 Item 1e
Attachment 1
Draft Agreement with Ascend Analytics
1/2024 Version 1.0
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.

13.8 SVCE’s Right to Termination for Deficiencies. SVCE reserves the right, at its sole election, to immediately terminate this Agreement without limitation and without liability if SVCE reasonably determines that Service Provider fails or has failed to meet its obligations under this Section.

14. Proprietary Rights.

14.1 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.

14.2 No License. Except as expressly set forth herein, no license is granted by either party to the other with respect to the Confidential Information or Pre-existing Materials. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant to either party any ownership or other interest, in the Confidential Information or Pre-existing Materials, except as may be provided under a license specifically applicable to such Confidential Information or Pre-existing Materials.

14.3 The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

15. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability; Insurance.

15.1 General Indemnification. Service Provider agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SVCE and its elected officials, officers, directors, agents, attorneys and employees (each, an “Indemnitee“) from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, expenses, claims, demands, suits, fines, or judgments (each, a “Claim,” and collectively, the “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 any act, error or omission, negligence, or misconduct of Service Provider, its officers, directors, agents, employees, and subcontractors, during the performance of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Claims arising out of or relating to: (a) bodily injury (including death) or damage to tangible personal or real property; (b) any payment required to be paid to subcontractors, if any, of Service Provider; (c) any material misrepresentation or breach of warranty of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement; (d) any destruction, or unauthorized access, use, or theft of SVCE Data (collectively, “cyber theft”) or, (e) any material breach of any covenant set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent that the applicable Claim resulted from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee.

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, then Service Provider shall, at its expense: (a) obtain for SVCE the Item 1e
Attachment 1

1/2024 Version 1.0
right to continue using such Services; (b) replace or modify such Services so that they do not infringe upon or misappropriate such proprietary right and is free to be used by SVCE; or, (c) 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 reimburse to SVCE any prepaid fees and the full cost associated with any Transition Services.

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.

15.4 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.

15.5 Insurance. Unless otherwise approved in writing by SVCE’s risk manager, Service Provider shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance, of the types and in the minimum amounts as follows, with responsible insurance carriers duly admitted and qualified in California covering the operations of Service Provider, pursuant to this Agreement: commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate); excess liability ($2,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate); workers’ compensation (statutory limits) and employers’ liability ($500,000 per accident); cyber liability ($5,000,000 per occurrence) providing protection against claims and liabilities arising from:

The Indemnitees shall be named as additional insureds in the commercial general, cyber, and excess liability policies which shall contain standard cross liability clauses. Service Provider shall cause the liability it assumed under this Agreement to be specifically insured under the contractual liability section of the liability insurance policies. The liability policies shall be primary without right of contribution from any Indemnitee, and Service Provider waives all rights of subrogation with respect to said policies. Such policies shall require that SVCE be given no less than thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice of any cancellation thereof or material change therein.

a) Availability Service Level.
1) Definitions.
(a) “Actual Uptime” shall mean the total minutes in the reporting month that the Services were actually available to Authorized Users for normal use.
(b) “Maintenance Window” shall mean the total minutes in the reporting month represented by the following day(s) and time(s) during which Service Provider shall maintain the Services: [Day(s) and Time(s)].
(c) “Performance Credit” shall mean the amount due to SVCE from Service Provider when Percentage Uptime is equal to or less than 99.98%, in the amounts set forth below. (d) “Scheduled Downtime” shall mean the total minutes in the reporting month represented by the Maintenance Window.
(e) “Scheduled Uptime” shall mean the total minutes in the reporting month less the total minutes represented by the Scheduled Downtime.

Item 1e
Attachment 1
Draft Agreement with Ascend Analytics
1/2024 Version 1.0
2) Service Level Standard. Services will be available to Authorized Users for normal use 100% of the Scheduled Uptime. Services are defined as the product UI access, computational resource access, and/or reporting access (PowerCube, extracts via API or data file, etc.). 3) Calculation. (Actual Uptime / Scheduled Uptime) * 100 = Percentage Uptime (as calculated by rounding to the second decimal point)
4) Performance Credit.
(a) Where Percentage Uptime is greater than 99.98%, no Performance Credit will be due to SVCE. (b) Where Percentage Uptime is equal to or less than 99.98%, SVCE shall be due a Performance Credit in the amount of 10% of the Services Fees (as calculated on a monthly basis for the reporting month) for each full 1% reduction in Percentage Uptime.
5) Example Calculation.
(a) Assuming reporting month is February 2012 (41,760 minutes). (b) Assuming a Maintenance Window of Sundays from Midnight to 4:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (equals Scheduled Downtime of 960 minutes).
(c) Scheduled Uptime equals 40,800 minutes (total minutes of 41,760 in February 2012 less 960 minutes of Scheduled Downtime).
(d) Assuming Actual Uptime of 40,000 minutes. A Percentage Uptime is calculated as follows: (40,000 / 40,800) *100 = 98.04%.
(e) The threshold of 99.98% less the Percentage Uptime of 98.04% = 1.94%. (f) The difference is greater than a 1% reduction but is less than a 2% reduction; therefore, SVCE is due 10% of the Services Fees as a Performance Credit.
b)
Technical Support Problem Response Service Level.
1) Definition. “Total Problems” shall mean the total of problems occurring in the reporting month. 2) Service Level Standard. Problems shall be confirmed as received by Service Provider 100% of the time each reporting month, in accordance with the Request Response Time associated with the Problem Severity Level.
3) Calculation. ((Total Problems – Total Problems failing Standard) / Total Problems) * 100 = Percentage Problem Response (as calculated by rounding to the second decimal point). Note: This Calculation must be completed for each Problem Severity Level.
4) Performance Credit.
(a) Problem Severity Level 1 – 2.
(1) Where Percentage Problem Response is greater than 99.00%, no Performance Credit will be due to SVCE.

Item 1e
Attachment 1
Draft Agreement with Ascend Analytics
1/2024 Version 1.0
(2) Where Percentage Problem Response is equal to or less than 99.00%, SVCE shall be due a Performance Credit in the amount of 1% of the Services Fees (as calculated on a monthly basis for the reporting month) for each full 1% reduction in Percentage Problem Response. (b) Problem Severity Level 3 – 4.
(1) Where Percentage Problem Response is greater than 90.00%, no Performance Credit will be due to SVCE.
(2) Where Percentage Problem Response is equal to or less than 90.00%, SVCE shall be due a Performance Credit in the amount of .5% of the Services Fees (as calculated on a monthly basis for the reporting month) for each full 1% reduction in Percentage Problem Response. 5) Example Calculation (Using Problem Severity Level 1 – 2). (a) Total Problems during the reporting month equal 68. (b) Total Problems failing the Standard of 100% equal 3. (c) Percentage Problem Response is calculated as follows: ((68 – 3) / 68) * 100 = 95.59% (d) The threshold of 99.01% less the Percentage Problem Response of 95.59% = 3.42%. The difference is greater than a 3% reduction but is less than a 4% reduction; therefore, SVCE is due 3% of the Services Fees as a Performance Credit.
c) Technical Support Problem Resolution Service Level.
1) Definition. “Total Problems” shall mean the total of problems occurring in the reporting month. 2) Service Level Standard. Problems shall be resolved by Service Provider 100% of the time each reporting month, in accordance with the Request Resolution Time associated with the Problem Severity Level. 3) Calculation. ((Total Problems – Total Problems failing Standard) / Total Problems) * 100 = Percentage Problem Resolution (as calculated by rounding to the second decimal point). Note: This Calculation must be completed for each Problem Severity Level.
4) Performance Credit.
(a) Problem Severity Level 1 – 2.
(1) Where Percentage Problem Resolution is greater than 99.00%, no Performance Credit will be due to SVCE.
(2) Where Percentage Problem Resolution is equal to or less than 99.00%, SVCE shall be due a Performance Credit in the amount of 5% of the Services Fees (as calculated on a monthly basis for the reporting month) for each full 1% reduction in Percentage Problem Resolution. (b) Problem Severity Level 3 – 4.
(1) Where Percentage Problem Resolution is greater than 90.00%, no Performance Credit will be due to SVCE.
(2) Where Percentage Problem Resolution is equal to or less than 90.00%, SVCE shall be due a Performance Credit in the amount of 1% of the Services Fees (as calculated on a monthly basis for the reporting month) for each full 1% reduction in Percentage Problem Resolution.

Item 1e
Attachment 1

1/2024 Version 1.0
5) Example Calculation (Using Problem Severity Level 3 – 4). (a) Total Problems during the reporting month equal 17. (b) Total Problems failing the Standard of 100% equal 2. (c) Percentage Problem Resolution is calculated as follows: ((17 – 2) / 17) * 100 = 88.24% (d) The threshold of 90.01% less the Percentage Problem Resolution of 88.24% = 1.77%. The difference is greater than a 1% reduction but is less than a 2% reduction; therefore, SVCE is due 1% of the Services Fees as a Performance Credit.

EXHIBIT D

SOFTWARE SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE
So long as SVCE has paid each Annual Software License Fee in full when due, SVCE is entitled to standard version upgrades, bug fixes, patches, service packs, and other modules that maintain the functionality of the Software during the year covered by said fee. Service Provider will support features and functionality developed by SVCE to the extent that such features are mutually agreeable for inclusion into Software base code and future upgrades will automatically incorporate these features. Service Provider agrees to furnish the necessary support, subject to the other provisions of this Section, to maintain operations of future modifications to the base code, until this SLA terminates.

Service Provider shall provide support services Monday through Friday for 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. The SVCE has 100 support hours annually from the License Fee and Consulting Hours and any additional hours purchased are bankable for future years. SVCE’s support hours will commence upon the completion of final acceptance and thereafter renew on the Effective Date of the SLA. Software support time hours exclude time spent by Service Provider to address software defects or bugs. Customized code developed by or for SVCE will be supported by Service Provider through the use of Licensee’s support hours unless either the customized code is included in Software base code or otherwise expressly agreed by Service Provider. SVCE may use support hours for training, consulting, or other support related to the Software. After SVCE has used all of its hours for a license year, any additional support shall be at Service Provider’s then current Standard Commercial Maintenance Rates (“Standard Commercial Maintenance Rates”). The Standard Commercial Maintenance Rates in effect as of the Effective Date are listed in Exhibit B.

The SVCE shall authorize the Service Provider to designate Service Provider employees and/or contractors to be given direct access to SVCE deployment environments (including development, testing, and production environments) to provide software support. SVCE understands that these designated personnel have access to Licensee data and will use this access to support the SVCE. Upon request, the SVCE can ask the Service Provider for list of active designated personnel with access to the SVCE’s environments.

In the event that a Software system support issue cannot be reasonably resolved via telephone or “Web” meeting, Service Provider will provide on-site support on the request of SVCE, upon which Service Provider will make reasonable efforts to arrive within twenty-four hours of being unable to resolve such system support issue via other means, SVCE will pay for Service Provider’s reasonable travel costs and for such on-site support activities, as approved in writing, in advance by SVCE. SVCE will pay the cost of on-site support on a time and materials basis at Service Provider’s then current Standard Commercial Maintenance Rates, in the event that the Hours of Annual Support have been exceeded. Service Provider also agrees to furnish additional support and maintenance at the then-current Standard Commercial Maintenance Rates. Service Provider and Licensee agree to follow the processes of Exhibit D regarding reporting and remediation of Software faults.

In the event Service Provider ceases to provide support of the Software to SVCE as set forth in this Section, in addition to any other remedies SVCE may be entitled, SVCE shall be refunded a pro-rata portion of any current License Fees.

Failure by Service Provider to provide support shall also be grounds for termination of the License SLA.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Service Provider no longer support the Software due to its acquisition by a third party, a wind down of its business, or otherwise (“Service Provider’s Exit”), SVCE shall thereafter have the right to continue to use the Software at no cost until support is restored.

Staff Report – Item 2
Item 2: CEO Report
To: Silicon Valley Clean Energy Board of Directors
Prepared by: Monica Padilla, CEO
Date: 1/8/2025
REPORT
Personnel Officer Update
Recruitment efforts continue for an IT Support Specialist and we are interviewing for a Senior Financial Analyst.

Job descriptions and applications can be found on SVCE’s website: Current Job Openings Clean Energy Update
As 2024 ends, staff is assessing its actual clean position given actual load demand and clean resources delivered under SVCE’s various contracts; the current estimate for 2024 is ~77%. The end of 2024 also brings to a close the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) statutory obligations (i.e., SB100 and SB350), for Compliance Period 4 (CP4) including an overall RPS of 40% and requirement that 65% come from long-term power purchase agreements (PPA) of ten years or greater. SVCE expects to meet both requirements. Looking forward, the expected clean position for 2025 is 98%, for 2026 expected clean position is 101% and for 2027 expected clean position is 108%.

Staff continues to procure clean energy to meet longer term requirements. Negotiations are underway as a result of the Request for Offers (RFO) issued in fall of 2024. Staff anticipates bringing one or more new PPAs to the Board for approval in the spring of 2025.

Staff has assigned sufficient PPAs to support the obligations of SVCE’s three clean energy prepays.

Attachment 1 provides an update of SVCE’s clean energy efforts through long-term power purchase agreements.

Customer Success Department Updates
Highlighting New Program Launches
In the last couple of months, the programs and marketing teams launched several new, key programs to help increase electrification education and adoption.

Full-Service Home Upgrades
SVCE soft launched the Full-Service Home Upgrade program in late-November. This program makes it easier for single-family residents to complete whole-home upgrades with fixed pricing and the support of trusted partner contractors. From no-cost energy assessments to professional installation and rebate application assistance, this comprehensive electrification service ensures homeowners are supported every step of the way. Plus, income-qualified residents may be eligible for no-cost upgrades.

Residents can learn more and schedule a complimentary home assessment at svcleanenergy.org/full-service.

Emergency Water Heater Replacement Available Now
Broken or failing water heater? This new SVCE service for single-family homes guarantees same-day service and hot water restored within 48 hours. Plus, income-qualified residents may receive no-cost upgrades. Call (408) 260-5255 or learn more at svcleanenergy.org/emergency-water-heater.

Dear Andrea,
I would like to express my interest in serving as 2025 Board Chair.

SVCE is a wonderful organization, and as it grows and prospers, I would welcome the opportunity to help provide continuity in its strategic leadership. Having served this past year as Vice Chair, member of the Executive Committee and member of the Risk Oversight Committee, I feel that this has given me the experience and perspective to be an effective Board Chair, a position I held in 2023.

My enthusiasm for bending the carbon curve is sustained and sincere, as my Master's thesis was on solar energy storage, I'm the proud owner of solar panels and an HVAC heat pump, I teach clean energy concepts to my engineering students at UC Berkeley, and I'm a trained solar panel installer for various non-profits (through SunWork and Cupertino Rotary - see photo).

Best regards,
George Tyson

Dear SVCE Board Members:

Re: SVCE Vice Chair
I’d like to serve as SVCE’s Vice Chair of the Board of Directors and Chair of the Executive Committee in 2025. It is rewarding to contribute to SVCE’s decarbonization journey to reduce carbon emissions and the consumption of fossil fuels. I’ve invested in developing my personal knowledge of delivering clean energy to customers and, as Vice Chair, I will help manage and run effective and efficient meetings at SVCE.

I understand and advocate the electrification of our built environment and electric vehicles – I built an all-electric home, added a heat pump water heater and heat pump HVAC to a rental property, and have owned seven electric vehicles since 2011 (currently own four). I believe in, and have invested in, electrification.

The Board adds value to SVCE by setting policy, providing resources to implement those policies, and by collaborating with the CEO so the Board can understand and support SVCE staff. Importantly, SVCE helps lead other CCAs in California so the entire industry benefits from SVCE’s policies and implementation.

Since joining SVCE’s Board, initially as an alternate and then as Director, I’ve contributed as Vice Chair of the Executive Committee in 2023 and 2024, and Chair of the Audit Committee in 2021 through 2024. My financial education and experience as a CPA helped me to facilitate the Board’s understanding of the first prepay agreement in 2021, which was followed by a second prepay in 2022 with a third prepay in 2024.

To increase my understanding of the industry dynamics facing CCAs in California, I attended the 2023 and 2024 CalCCA Annual Conferences in San Diego and San Jose, respectively, and attended four ribbon cuttings – Rabbit Brush Solar + Storage (2022), Casa Diablo IV and Yellow Pine Solar + Storage (2023), and Victory Pass Solar + Storage (2024).

Knowing the industry dynamics adds value by increasing my ability as Vice Chair to support SVCE staff analyses and recommendations, and focus discussions on tradeoffs where policy alternatives exist. The Board is responsible for setting policy, SVCE staff implements those polices. Policies need resources and budgets provide financial resources. SVCE staff presents budgets to the Board and there are alternatives and tradeoffs within those budgets – with my financial knowledge and experience, I can help the Board work with staff in setting and approving budgets.

I’ve attended firsthand four significant ribbon cuttings of renewable clean energy projects. Seeing and touring a physical site deepens one’s knowledge and appreciation of the capital in place. Listening to the developers and operators describe their 10 year path from site selection, permit application and approval, construction and operational financing, power purchase agreements, physical construction, interconnection and commissioning provides insight into the risks of bringing clean and renewable energy Item 3

to customers. The path to ribbon cutting takes time and has significant uncertainties. When SVCE staff encounter issues with clean energy projects and present alternatives to the Board, understanding the risks helps the Board make decisions.

As Vice Chair, I will support and facilitate Board meetings by listening to SVCE staff and reading the room.

Helping the Chair to move the meeting forward efficiently will help in effective Board meetings. As a former Mayor and chair of several joint powers authorities, I have experience in conducting effective and efficient public meetings.

I’d be honored to serve as SVCE’s Vice Chair.

Respectfully,
Bryan J. Mekechuk

Letter of Interest – Vice Chair
Dear SVCE Colleagues,
I am applying for the Vice Chair position for Silicon Valley Clean Energy. I have served as my City's SVCE Representative for six years and have a great respect for the organization. I sought out and researched SVCE and the committee assignment when I was elected. I knew I wanted to be part of the leadership effort to bring clean energy and reduce the use of fossil fuels.

As I met colleagues on the Board, I was mentored by a few to give it time to understand the organization and explore where to commit my efforts. I have done just that intentionally serving on the Audit Committee, the Legislative Committee and the Executive Committee to know the organization from many sides. I have attended Cal CCA conferences and events to understand the relationship with other CCAs and SVCE’s role in the organization. I have served as the Legislative Committee Chair and advocated in Sacramento through this role. I have championed and defended our policies and efforts both in my City and regionally such as the gas ban, reach codes, educational efforts and equitable policies for CCA’s. As an Urban Planner with a background in Housing and Economic Development there is much overlap from my experience and the work I do to advance our mission with ABAG in housing, on the Vallet Transit Authority PAC Board and now as a member of the Cal Cities Board for the state.

I have demonstrated significant commitment and interest in serving SVCE and our region and would continue this in leading our organization as Vice Chair. To prepare for Vice Chair I have served on the Executive Committee for 2 years as well as other supportive roles to give me more exposure to staff and current topics of interest to SVCE.

I am excited about the opportunity to lead this stellar organization to further the excellent work of our staff with all of you and our regional colleagues to continue toward our mission. I understand having all City perspectives, ideas, stakeholders and underrepresented groups heard and considered contributes greatly to our success at SVCE. I would be an honor to lead this organization and I commit to have our collective goal always at the forefront.

Thank you for your consideration,
Yvonne

Dear Andrea (and SVCE Boardmembers),
I would like to express my interest in serving as the Silicon Valley Clean Energy Board Vice Chair for 2025. I have a deep appreciation for the organization’s leadership in transforming our regional energy landscape. I have been inspired by our collective progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, bolstering energy resilience, and supporting the economic vitality of our communities.

Having served as SVCE’s Executive Board Chair in 2024, I continue to be interested in how I can help provide guidance to the organization as it continues to grow and change.

As a passionate advocate for clean energy, sustainable development, and equitable community solutions, I am committed to advancing SVCE’s mission to supply local communities with clean, affordable, and reliable energy. These initiatives underscore my dedication to actionable progress and my ability to galvanize diverse stakeholders toward shared objectives.

As Mayor of Sunnyvale, I have worked extensively to promote policies that align with SVCE’s goals. Sunnyvale was one of the key founding members of SVCE. Sunnyvale has SVCE’s largest client base, and my 20+ years of community service can help bridge the relationships with some of our biggest customers.

I would be honored to serve as SVCE’s Vice Chair in 2025. Similarly, I am also interested in serving in some capacity on the Executive Committee in 2025.

Thank you,
Larry

Staff Report – Item 5
Item 5: SVCE Community Grants Update
From: Monica Padilla, CEO
Prepared by: Zoe Elizabeth, Director of Director of Decarbonization Policy and Community Strategies Jessica Cornejo, Senior Community Strategies Specialist Date: 1/8/2025

RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that the Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) Board of Directors (Board) receive an update on the Community Resilience Grant and Decarbonization Demonstration & Engagement Grant programs.

BACKGROUND
As a part of the 2020 Customer Relief and Community Resilience package, SVCE launched the Community Resilience program to provide site-level investments, technical support, and resources for the member jurisdictions. Investments include $800K in planning grants and $4M in capital project grants to help our member jurisdictions plan for and protect against the increasing impacts of power outages caused by high-heat events, wildfires, and PG&E’s related Public Safety Power Shutoffs.

In 2022, SVCE launched the Decarbonization Demonstration & Engagement Grant program to support the development of capital projects demonstrating the feasibility of all-electric appliances and engagement projects to educate the public on electrification in innovative ways. $3.2M was allocated to the Decarbonization Demonstration Grant and $400,000 to the Decarbonization Engagement Grant.

In 2024, the Board approved $10M in community grants to support building and transportation electrification, energy resilience, and community engagement projects. The program is divided into three areas: 1) Noncompetitive Member Agency Grants ($3M), 2) Competitive Member Agency Grants ($3.5M), and 3) Competitive Community Grants ($3.5M). Each member agency was awarded a noncompetitive allocation that can be used for a variety of projects that support building or transportation electrification, energy resilience, or community engagement on these topics. The member agency competitive funding will allow agencies to pursue additional funding with the option to stack with their noncompetitive allocation. Both the Noncompetitive and Competitive Member Agency Grants launched on October 30, 2024. The deadline for agencies to submit an application for the competitive grant is March 28, 2025, and the deadline to submit an application for the noncompetitive grant is December 5, 2025. The Competitive Community Grants will launch in the Fall of 2025.

Most member jurisdictions have one or more active grant projects in progress, and some jurisdictions have completed projects. Staff supports member jurisdictions with their ongoing projects, answers questions on the newly released 2024 Member Agency Grants, and identifies additional grant opportunities to help support their individual decarb goals.

ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
SVCE staff will address the analysis as a presentation to the Board.

(a) Seller: Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc.
(b) Buyer: SVCE
(c) Product 2: Scheduling Coordinator Services as described below for Firm Energy to be delivered to Buyer as Product 1.

2.2. Overview
The purpose of Article 2 is for Morgan Stanley to perform the required scheduling coordinator functions for the Firm Energy “resource” (as such term is used by the CPUC in D. 20-06-028).

Although D.20-06-028 required the Buyer to take responsibility for ensuring that energy associated

Appendix A MSCG
5 with an import RA contract is bid into, and delivered to, the CAISO markets, the CPUC’s decision also permitted the Buyer to designate another party to act on its behalf as a Scheduling Coordinator to bid and deliver the energy into the CAISO markets.

Morgan Stanley is a Scheduling Coordinator recognized by CAISO pursuant to the CAISO Tariff and has the requisite experience, skill and capability to perform the scheduling obligations assumed by it in providing the Scheduling Coordinator Services (as defined below). In providing the Scheduling Coordinator Services, Morgan Stanley will perform, and assume all costs, risks and liabilities associated with performing, the scheduling responsibilities defined below for the limited purpose of submitting Bid(s) and physically scheduling and delivering Firm Energy to be delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Confirmation as Product 1 from the Delivery Point to the Sink as required and contemplated by the system resource adequacy requirements of CPUC D.20-06-028 and the system resource adequacy requirements established by CAISO pursuant to the CAISO Tariff.

2.3. Scheduling Coordinator Services
Morgan Stanley agrees to assume the scheduling functions required to schedule and deliver the Firm Energy to be delivered to Buyer as Product 1 at and from the Delivery Point to the Sink, being an Aggregated Pricing Node in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area, as set forth below (“Scheduling Coordinator Services”):
(a) For each hour in which Firm Energy is to be delivered to the Delivery Point, consistent with the Hourly Contract Quantity and Delivery Profile, Morgan Stanley will Bid or Self-Schedule (as such terms are defined in the CAISO Tariff) the Firm Energy into the CAISO Day Ahead Market and Real-Time Market, provided if Morgan Stanley submits Bid(s) (other than Self-Schedule) such Bid(s) for each hour that is an Availability Assessment Hour, Morgan Stanley’s Bid(s) shall be at a price between (“Bidding Requirement”) until the Minimum Monthly Delivery Quantity has been met.
(b) Working with CAISO and Buyer to set up Resource ID (MSCG_NOB_I_F_IMS010) associated with Morgan Stanley’s SCID for purposes of undertaking the services in paragraph (a) above (“RA Resource ID”), which shall be set up as a CAISO system resource;
(c) Submitting a monthly Supply Plan using the RA Resource ID for each month of the Delivery Term on or prior to the deadline in the CAISO Tariff; (d) Undertaking all scheduling and tagging requirements in accordance with Generally Accepted Utility Practice from the Delivery Point to the Sink, including inserting the following in each NERC E-Tag:
(i) Morgan Stanley’s Scheduling Coordinator PSE in the “physical path” at and from the Delivery Point to the Sink,
(ii) Buyer’s PSE in the “market path” at the Delivery Point, (iii) Buyer’s PSE as the last PSE in the “physical path”, (iv) RA Resource ID (MSCG_NOB_I_F_IMS010) in the Misc (Token/Value) field in “physical path” at and from the Delivery Point to the Sink,

Appendix A MSCG
6 (v) A CAISO Aggregated Pricing Node as the Sink; and
(e) performing such other ancillary requirements under the CAISO Tariff to give effect to the foregoing.

A sample NERC E-Tag is attached hereto as Exhibit B for informational purposes. Actual NERC E-Tags generated for deliveries hereunder may vary from the sample attached as Exhibit B due to changes in Source, CAISO or WECC tagging practices or otherwise as required to be consistent with Generally Accepted Utility Practice.

2.6. Special Conditions – Product 2
(a) Resource Adequacy Plan: Buyer shall submit (or cause to be submitted) a monthly or, annual Resource Adequacy Plan (“RA Plan”), as applicable, and as required by the CAISO Tariff, that explicitly identifies the Delivery Profile hours as the temporal constraint/limitation and such RA Plan shall otherwise match the Supply Plan submitted by Morgan Stanley.
(b) CAISO Acceptance/Rejection: Morgan Stanley shall be entitled to retain any and all revenues received from (and if prices are negative, liable for all payments to) CAISO as a result of CAISO accepting the Bid(s) (including Self-Schedule(s)) submitted by Morgan Stanley. If, in any hour of the Delivery Term, CAISO rejects the Bid(s) (including Self-Schedule) submitted by Morgan Stanley in the CAISO Day Ahead Market and Real-Time Market, then:
(i) if Morgan Stanley Self-Schedules or Bids in accordance with the Bidding Requirement, the Parties agree to treat such rejection by CAISO as Uncontrollable Force such that each Party shall be excused from their respective obligation to sell and deliver or purchase and receive the Firm Energy for that hour, and (ii) if Morgan Stanley does not Bid in accordance with the Bidding Requirement, the Parties agree to treat such rejection by CAISO as a failure to deliver by Seller, no Capacity Fee shall be due for such hour, and, unless Seller is otherwise excused from its delivery obligations, Buyer shall be entitled to such remedies as are provided hereunder and in the Master Agreement.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

3.1 Uncontrollable Force/Force Majeure
The Parties agree that Product 1 shall be subject to Uncontrollable Force and Product 2 shall be subject to Force Majeure. The Parties agree, for the purposes of Section 10 of the WSPP Agreement, Section 3.3 of the Master Agreement and the definition of Force Majeure, that:
(a) any limitation, interruption or curtailment on the applicable Agreed Transmission Path, at the Delivery Point or from the Delivery Point to Sink by the transmission provider pursuant to the applicable OATT or transmission service contract (including CAISO pursuant to CAISO Tariff), by or at the direction of WECC or any applicable NERC-recognized regional reliability coordinator, including for unscheduled flow mitigation, planned outage(s) and full or partial de-rate(s), whether or not known or anticipated as of the Confirmation Effective Date, will be considered Uncontrollable Force and Force Majeure, (b) a limitation, interruption or curtailment described in paragraph (a) may result in Bid(s), schedule(s) or E-Tag(s) not being submitted or created, as applicable, for one or more hours depending on the timing and circumstances of the qualifying limitation, interruption or curtailment, Generally Accepted Utility Practice and requirements and practices pursuant to CAISO Tariff,
(c) if and to the extent any of the events or circumstances described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above prevents (i) delivery of the Hourly Contract Quantity of Firm Energy from the Source to Sink for any hour(s) of the Delivery Term or (ii) Bid(s), schedule(s) or E-Tag(s) being submitted or created, as applicable, by Morgan Stanley for any hour(s) of the Delivery Term, subject to Section 1.2(c), Morgan Stanley and Buyer shall be relieved of their obligation to sell and deliver or purchase and receive, respectively, the Firm Energy at the Delivery Point for such hour(s) and Morgan Stanley shall be relieved of its Scheduling Coordinator Services obligations for such hour(s), and (d) Morgan Stanley will use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate (verbally or electronically in writing, including via eTags) any limitations, interruptions or curtailments on the Agreed Transmission Path actually known by Morgan Stanley’s pre-scheduler prior to the day-ahead pre-scheduling deadline and advise as to what quantities, if any, of Firm Energy Morgan Stanley is able to deliver to Buyer during the affected hours.

3.2 Monthly Reporting
The Parties acknowledge that in each month of the Delivery Term non-delivery of Energy can reasonably be expected from time to time as a result of, among other things, Uncontrollable Force, Force Majeure (e.g. transmission limitations, interruptions and/or curtailments) and CAISO rejecting Bid(s) meeting the Bid Requirement, including during conditions of oversupply and congestion. For transparency, Buyer will have delivery visibility through inclusion on all NERC E-Tags, and upon request by Buyer, Seller will provide a monthly report that includes a lessor of analysis showing eTags, and meter readings from the Source.

Appendix A MSCG

3.4 Confidentiality
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.11 of the Master Agreement, the Parties agree that either Party may disclose a copy of this Confirmation to a Governmental Authority if required or if requested by such Governmental Authority or for the purposes set forth in Section

3.5(b), provided such Party shall redact commercial terms (e.g. Contract Price) prior to disclosure or disclose the Confirmation confidentially to the Governmental Authority unless redactions or confidential treatment is not permitted by the Governmental Authority. Each Party recognizes that this Confirmation is subject to the requirements of the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 7920 et seq.).

3.5 RA Requirements / Change in Law
(a) The Parties acknowledge that Buyer has entered into this Transaction to, among other things, use Product 1 toward meeting its RA Requirements under the Slice of Day program.

Buyer acknowledges that Seller makes no representation or warranty that Product 1 as procured by Buyer will be eligible for or can be used or counted toward Buyer’s resource adequacy obligations pursuant to the RA Requirements.
(b) The Parties agree that either or both Parties may provide a copy of this Confirmation to the CPUC confidentially prior to the time required for Buyer’s compliance filings to obtain the CPUC’s guidance or advice as to the eligibility of Product 1 for meeting the RA Requirements, provided if Seller provides a copy it shall redact or exclude Buyer’s name. (c) It is Buyer’s sole responsibility to ensure it has obtained sufficient intertie import capability for the Delivery Term at the Delivery Point such that it may use Product 1 toward its RA Requirements.
(d) If there is a Change in Law that (i) materially adversely changes or affects a Party’s obligations hereunder or (ii) results in Buyer being unable to use Product 1 to meet its RA Requirements, the Parties shall work in good faith to try and revise this Confirmation, which may include changes to commercial terms, to appropriately address the material adverse change or effect or permit Buyer to be able to use Product 1 toward its RA Requirements. In the event the Parties cannot reach agreement on any such amendments to this Confirmation within 30 days’ written notice from one Party following the Change in Law (“Negotiation Period”), then either Party may terminate this Confirmation within thirty (30) days after the Negotiation Period upon written notice to the other Party, which, subject to Section 3.7, shall be effective the next Business Day after such notice is received.

Any termination in accordance with this paragraph shall be without liability of either Party to the other from the termination date as a result of such termination, provided for greater certainty each Party shall remain liable for any payments arising from performance (and non-performance) up to and including the termination date. Termination of this

Appendix A MSCG
9 Confirmation pursuant to this paragraph shall not result in termination (or give rise to a right of termination) of any other transactions between the Parties provided that if multiple transactions between the Parties are similarly affected by the Change in Law the terminating Party must concurrently terminate all such transactions unless the other Party otherwise agrees.

3.6 Seller Indemnification / Termination
To the extent Seller fails to fulfill its obligations under this Confirmation and such failure is not excused under the terms of either Product, this Confirmation or the Master Agreement or caused by a failure to perform by Buyer, then Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for any monetary penalties directly resulting from Seller’s nonperformance hereunder as assessed against Buyer by the CPUC pursuant to the RA Requirements, but only to the extent such penalties being assessed could not be avoided by Buyer following notice from Seller of its nonperformance; and (a) in addition to Buyer’s other remedies hereunder, if such failure meets all the criteria for a RA Termination Event, Buyer may terminate this Confirmation upon written notice to Seller, provided such notice is provided no later than two (2) Business Days after such RA Termination Event having occurred. If timely termination notice is provided to Seller, subject to Section 3.7, termination shall be effective the next Business Day after such notice is received. Any termination in accordance with this paragraph shall be without liability of either Party to the other on the termination date as a result of such termination, provided for greater certainty each Party shall remain liable for any payments arising from performance (and non-performance) up to and including the termination date. Termination of this Confirmation pursuant to this paragraph shall not result in termination (or give rise to a right of termination) of any other transactions between the Parties.

With respect to the foregoing, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such monetary penalties or the impact of any Seller non-performance; provided, that in no event shall Buyer be required to use or change its utilization of its owned or controlled assets or market positions to minimize such penalties.

3.7 Survival
To the extent this Confirmation is terminated by either Party as provided in Section 3.5 or 3.6 and Morgan Stanley, in performing its obligations hereunder, has submitted a monthly Supply Plan or has other binding obligations or commitments to CAISO that cannot be rescinded without Morgan Stanley incurring penalties or other charges, all applicable terms, conditions and provisions of this Confirmation shall survive termination until all binding obligations or commitments to CAISO as at the effective date of such termination have been fully performed, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the purchase and sale of Firm Energy. For greater certainty, neither Party will make any further binding commitments to CAISO (e.g. no filing of monthly RA Plans or Supply Plans) after the effective date of termination.

3.8 Relationship of the Parties
The Parties are independent contractors, and will not be deemed to be partners, joint venturers or agents of each other for any purpose. Nothing contained in this Confirmation will be construed to
