PRESENTATION
2 5-yr Financial and Stub Period Budget Highlights
Stub Budget:
• $27.6 million draw from reserves
• Revenues compared to the same period last year
decline substantially from higher 2026 PCIA charges
and lower PG&E generation rates
• Customer discount remains at 1%, as does the $12
monthly bill credit for low -income customers
2026 update of PCIA and PG&E generation rate account balances and projected 2027 rates. • PG&E May Rate projections will be updated in the fall after the CPUC issues market price benchmarks (MPBs).

In the past, rates between May and fall updates have varied significantly. *High-level comparison intended to communicate main drivers of the financial outlook; not adjusting for different 5 -year horizon s and changes to the fiscal year periods. 5-Year Financial Outlook Improves from Previous
Forecast, but Drawdown from Reserves Continues
• Ending reserves improve and corresponding Days
Cash on Hand (DCOH) over the 5 -year horizon
improves to 190 ( Mid-Year Budget: 142; Stress Test Base Case: 177)* • Energy prices remain at low levels, mostly aligned with previous forecasts, with the exception of Carbon Free
attribute prices dropping further
• Improvements in the financial outlook driven by:

1. Favorable power supply portfolio positions and reductions in the cost of carbon -free resources

2. Lower forecasted PCIA rates based on PG&E’s May
2026 forecast of 2027 rates
• PG&E May Rate projections will be updated in the fall after the CPUC issues market price benchmarks (MPBs). In the past, May rate forecasts have varied substantially from fall updates. *High-level comparison intended to communicate main drivers of the financial outlook; not adjusting for different 5 -year horizon s and changes to the fiscal year periods.

FY 27 Budget Outlook: Negative $150 million
FY 28 to 31 Outlook: On average, negative $18.5 million Item 3

3 Stub Budget vs. 4Q Calendar 2025 Actuals
• Revenues are lower with
• Final PG&E 2026 gen rates (set at
the start of the year) came in much
lower than 2025 due to lower
expected commodity prices in 2026
than in 2025
• Power Supply Cost is flat relative to
the same period last year
• Other operating expenses are higher
for 2 reasons
• Actual spend historically lower than
the budget
• Stub budget contingency for
uncertainty on timing of expenses
(hitting a specific month vs a full
year)
• Transfer to New EcoInvest Fund
• Explained in the next slide

4 EcoInvest Fund Creation
EcoInvest Recap
• Part of Non -Standard Pricing Agreement
Policy (approved in 2019 to retain large
customers at higher departure risk)
• In exchange for committing to remain an
SVCE customer, a portion of bill is set
aside for decarb project funding
• Customer must do a local project and
(typically) contribute matching funds to
unlock
• Policy includes strong requirements to
prohibit any cost -shifting
Why transfer funds to a new EcoInvest Fund?
• Same treatment as that of other customer
decarbonization programs
• Customer’s expenditure of funds does not align with
the accrual of those funds in a fiscal year (i.e., customers can accrue over 5 fiscal years and spend all accrued amounts in year 5) • Better to manage as a portfolio that accounts for
expected spend and additions per new or existing
customers’ accrual of incentives
• Better visibility on the use of these incentives and
alignment with Accounting treatment
Status
• Several contracts signed, some customers
accruing EcoInvest funds
• No electrification projects yet

5 Variables Affecting the Stub Budget in ¢/kWh
Note: Power Supply expenses shown account for 0.3¢/kWh from Prepay Savings [$3.5 million overall].

SVCE customers pay PCIA, and it’s not a budget expense. The impact of this variable is that it reduces the revenues by bringi ng the discounted generation rate from 10.2¢/kWh to 6.6¢/kWh on average.

PRESENTATION
7 5-year Financial Outlook
(with additional liquidity assumptions)
Additional Operating Liquidity
Assumptions:

1. Lag in customer uptake of
programs leaving - $20
million program fund remains
at the end of the 5 -yr
forecast

2. Reducing operating
expenses by $6.5 million a
year to remove budget
contingencies

3. Using the Board -
approved Financial Levers
Playbook to reach the target
DCOH if needed
SVCE rates set at a competitive advantage to comparable PG&E rates.

Item 3

PRESENTATION
8 Review Reserve Targets and Policy
Staff Recommendation:
• No changes to reserve targets or policy
• Changing the targets has no practical implication,
given that the financial outlook does not support
contributing to reserves
• Minimum Reserve Level: 120 DCOH
• If reserves fall below the minimum level,
develop plans to restore them to the
minimum level within two fiscal years.
• Reserve Goal: 350 DCOH
• No action required if the reserves are
above the minimum and below the
maximum levels.
• Maximum Reserve Level: 500 DCOH
• If reserve funds are projected to exceed
the maximum level, present the Board of
Directors with options for disposition of
those reserves during the next budget
cycle.

PRESENTATION
17 • A 3 -month period budget requires more precision on the timing of expenses • For example, payment for renewable energy certificates (REC) occurs over a 12 -month period, but highly uncertain to isolate to a month because timing depends on when RECs are transferred to SVCE. Similarly, other expenses are typically managed on a 12 -month period • SVCE’s revenues and expenses vary by season
• No prior 3 -month Budget to compare against
• The proposed Stub Budget is compared to unaudited expenditures as of December 31, 2025, for FY 2025 -26 • Not a perfect comparison – given expenses are usually accounted/budgeted for over a 12 -month period Stub Period Budget Framework

23 Financial Levers Summary
Playbook:
• No changes for 2026
and 2027
• Build out new product
options for use in
future years, if
needed, to maintain
reserves (considering
higher rates, less
clean portfolio, etc.)
• Pursue operational
cost savings
• Financial levers are risk mitigation –
to help SVCE know what it will do if
needed
• Balancing competitiveness with
mission, impact, and value
• Specific new product concepts will be
designed and brought to the board
for discussion prior to any roll -out

27 Glossary
• RPS – Renewable Portfolio Standard - The RPS program requires investor-owned utilities (IOUs), publicly owned utilities (POUs), electric service providers (ESPs), and community choice aggregators (CCAs) to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 60% of total procurement by 2030. RPS eligible resources include solar, wind, small hydro, biomass, and geothermal. • RA – Resource Adequacy - Under its Resource Adequacy (RA) program, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requires load-serving entities—including investor-owned utilities (IOUs), electric service providers (ESPs), and community choice aggregators (CCAs)—to demonstrate in both monthly and annual filings that they have purchased capacity commitments to contribute their share of system reliability.
• MTR – Mid-Term Reliability – Procurement order issued by the CPUC to focus on securing sufficient online resources to ensure reliability through at least 2028.
• PCIA – Power Charge Indifference Adjustment - Designed to recover the above-market cost of long-term power purchased on behalf of customers who later departed the IOU to be served by a CCA. The calculation methodology is set by the CPUC, and the amount is calculated annually, with vintages set for each year of customer departures. • 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 a vote of the five Commissioners of the CPUC. • 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, and actual costs are retroactively trued-up via balancing accounts. • MPBs – Market Price Benchmarks - estimated values per unit associated with key components of energy portfolios, such as the Energy Index, Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Adder, and Resource Adequacy (RA) Adder.

11 Heat Pump Water Heater Installations per
1,000 Housing Units with SVCE Programs
TOTAL 2,300 HPWH SVCE PROGRAM INSTALLATIONS IN TERRITORY Data Source: Home Rebates, Assisted
Home Upgrades, Full-Service Home
Upgrades, Zero Interest Financing,
Emergency Water Heater Replacement,
Multifamily Retrofits, Business Rebates, and
the original HPWH 1.0 and 2.0 pilots.

Notes:
• Total number of HPWH installations for
each agency is shown in the left bar.
• Includes both residential and business
installations normalized per total
number of single-family homes and
multifamily units.
• For multifamily properties where a
single central HPWH was installed, we
assume the number of HPWHs is equal
to the number of residential units
served. This ensures consistency with
multifamily properties where individual
HPWHs are installed in each residential
unit.

14 Customer Interactions with Electrification
Advisor per 1,000 Residential Customers
TOTAL 3,400 CUSTOMER INTERACTIONS WITH ELECTRIC ADVISOR ACROSS TERRITORY Data Source: Go Electric Advisor
Notes:
• Total number of customer interactions
for each agency is shown in the left bar.
• The number of customer interactions
reported is not a unique number of
customers. If the same customer calls
in multiple times, each occurrence
counts as a separate interaction.
• Brief advisor interactions may not be
linked to a customer account due to the
lack of information collected. Also, the
service does not turn away non-SVCE
customers, but rather redirects them to
their local community choice provider or
utility as appropriate. As such, 15-20%
of customer interactions cannot be
categorized by member agency.
