GOALS OF 2022 CCCE SERVICE OFFERINGS
APPROVED APPROACH TO RATE DESIGN
Cost of Service (COS) Rate Design
1. Estimate the total cost necessary to serve all 3CE customers • Power procurement
• Energy Programs
• Rate stabilization fund
• Administrative costs
2. Create simple, easily understood customer classes based on size and usage profile
3. Allocate total cost across customer classes
4. Adjust allocations so each class will save a minimum of 1% relative to PG&E
5. Design rates for each customer class to recover costs allocated to that class
6. Rates will go live effective March 1, 2022 for customers within PG&E’s service territory Overview:
• $1.3 million in FY 18/19
• $5.4 million in FY 19/20
• $6.2 million in FY 20/21
• Estimated $14.1 million in FY 21/22
• 4% of operating revenue in FY 21/22
Electrification in building and
transportation sectors could
result in $3 billion of untapped
revenue market wide

Planning and Implementation
• Funding for planning and implementation projects related to electrification • Intended for member agencies to electrify their vehicle fleets, municipal properties, and the community infrastructure that serves households and businesses.
Innovation
• Funding to deploy new and innovative electrification or other clean energyrelated technology for municipal or community buildings and/or fleets. • Intended to foster market transformation, demonstrate scalable and replicable solutions, and identify potential future CCCE energy program concepts.
Electrification and Innovation Grant Program
Locally Sited Front of the Meter
Distributed Energy Storage Projects
Benefits
• Rate Stability reduced energy cost & reduced RA cost
• Grid Stability local power supply, critical period imports reduced => fewer outages • Grid services balance power flows
• Reduced GHGs evening dispatch of day-time “solar” electrons • Local jobs building and maintaining facilities
• Potential “microgrid” islanding => resiliency
Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Electrification Program
• Intended to support the electrification of Member Agency medium and heavyduty fleet vehicles • Potential applications include street sweepers, refuse trucks, dump trucks, and first response vehicles
• CCCE will reserve funds for qualifying projects and funds will be dispersed once purchases and/or projects are completed
• Intended to work in coordination with city/county purchasing schedules and policies
• Incentives likely to be tied to increased cost of electric models from standard internal combustion options
