BACKGROUND

In compliance with federal law, the Housing Authority has prepared the PHA Annual Plan for 2026 for submission to HUD; addressing the delivery of housing services in Pittsburg and thereby satisfying HUD’s requirement to prepare and submit the PHA Annual Plan annually. There were no significant policy changes in this year’s annual plan.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS

As part of the HUD requirement for submission of the PHA Annual Plan for 2026, staff met with the Resident Advisory Board (“RAB”) to solicit feedback on the Annual Plan for 2026. The RAB is comprised of any Section 8 participant wishing to participate and meets only for the purpose of providing comments on the annual plan.

The RAB met on February 13, 2026, and no comments regarding the proposed changes were provided. Therefore, no relevant comments are included within the PHA Annual Plan for 2026.

STAFF ANALYSIS

The Housing Authority has prepared the PHA Annual Plan for 2026, specifying the Housing Authority's goals for providing housing and offering support to families needing such assistance. It further outlines how the Housing Authority will utilize its 955 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and its 185 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Vouchers, also referred to as VASH, thereby authorizing ongoing program funding.

The Notice of Public Hearing was published on January 29, 2026.

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026

TO: Chair and Governing Board Members

FROM: Darin E. Gale‚ Executive Director
John Funderburg, Assistant Director of CED
Ishani Rasanayagam, Administrative Analyst II

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Housing Authority Minute Order Approving an Annual Housing Asset Report

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact in approving the Report. The Report provides a snapshot of housing activities that have occurred during a specified period.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the Governing Board of the Housing Authority approve the Report.

BACKGROUND

The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pittsburg (Agency) was a redevelopment agency formed, existing and exercising its powers pursuant to California Community Redevelopment Law Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq. (CRL). Pursuant to authority granted under the CRL, the Agency has the responsibility to implement the redevelopment plan established by the Community Development Plan for the Los Medanos Community Development Project by Ordinance No. 93-1063, adopted by the City Council on June 7, 1993 (as subsequently amended and restated by Resolution

Page 27 of 224 ends

07-1221 and as may be further amended from time to time).

On June 29, 2011, the Governor signed into law ABX1 26, also referred to as the “Dissolution Act”, which automatically suspended redevelopment activities, and on December 29, 2011, the California State Supreme Court upheld the provisions of the Dissolution Act, thereby dissolving all redevelopment agencies on February 1, 2012 (Dissolution Date). The Dissolution Act provides that prior to the Dissolution Date, the City may elect to assume the assets and responsibilities for the housing functions previously performed by the Agency or, by default, the housing functions will be transferred to the local housing authority.

On January 17, 2012, by City Resolution 12-11753 and Housing Authority Resolution 12-261, the City elected to transfer, and the Housing Authority elected to assume all the rights, responsibilities, and functions related to housing previously performed by the Agency to the Housing Authority.

On October 13, 2013, Senate Bill (SB) 341 was approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State. SB 341 amended Health and Safety Code Section 34176 to revise the Agency’s annual reporting requirements, requiring submission of the report to both the State Controller and Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS

The Report was not discussed in a subcommittee.

STAFF ANALYSIS

The Housing Authority will file the Report and any supporting documents, if applicable, as an addendum to the City’s Annual Progress Report filed by the Planning Department. Upon receiving Housing Authority Governing Board approval and once this Minute Order has been certified by the Agency Secretary, the Report will be submitted to HCD on or before April 1, 2026.

Within the reporting period (Fiscal Year 2024/25), $1,101,977 was deposited into the Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF). The ending Fiscal Year 2024/25 balance of the LMIHAF was $31,882,415, which includes a reclassification of $24,352,605 of loans receivables to comply with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board pronouncement, according to the City’s independent auditor. The Housing Successor real property value was valued at $1,975,021.46. For Fiscal Year 2025/26, the Housing Successor is investing funds in community housing counseling and a potential loan for transitional age youth housing.

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026

TO: Chair and Governing Board Members

FROM: Darin E. Gale‚ Executive Director
Maria Aliotti, Assistant City Manager
Tanya Ray, Housing Manager

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Housing Authority Resolution Authorizing the Listing for Sale of Real Property 2105 Abbott Avenue

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This item would authorize Housing Authority staff to place Housing Authority owned residential property 2105 Abbott Avenue, Assessor’s Parcel Number 087-193-37-6 (Property) on the market for sale.

FISCAL IMPACT

The sale of the property will have a financial impact on the Housing Authority fund by generating revenue for the Housing Authority from sale proceeds. It is intended that the sales proceeds will be used to purchase a similar property to be used as an affordable unit.

RECOMMENDATION

The Governing Board of the Housing Authority adopt the Resolution authorizing staff to place the property 2105 Abbott Avenue on the market for sale.

BACKGROUND

The Property was owned by Contra Costa County and has been leased to a tenant through the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program since 2001. In 2009, the County transferred the Property to the Housing Authority, along with the County’s tenant. The HCV program is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) subsidized program where landlords may charge rent that is comparable to the area and the rent is paid by the tenant and the Housing Authority, utilizing the HUD subsidy.

Page 31 of 224 ends

Plumbing repairs estimated at $40,000 are needed for the property, based on an independent inspection. The repairs must be done from within the house. The tenant has been uncooperative in facilitating the repairs.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS

This item was not discussed in a subcommittee. The Residents Advisory Board (RAB) is comprised of any Section 8 participant wishing to participate and meets only for the purpose of providing comments on Housing Authority actions.

The RAB met on February 13, 2026 to review the agenda items. No comments regarding the proposed sale of the property were provided.

STAFF ANALYSIS

The property is subject to a regulatory agreement with affordability restrictions that are set to expire in 2064. Any purchaser will be subject to these requirements. It is anticipated that the condition of the property, the affordability restrictions and the existence of a present tenant will likely affect the sale price. The property will be sold “As-Is”, currently occupied by an HCV tenant with a Housing Assistance Payment subsidy. No tenants will be displaced by the Housing Authority prior to the sale.

Adoption of the Resolution will authorize the Executive Director or designee to execute the necessary documents to list the property for sale. It is expected that staff will return to the Housing Authority governing board in closed session to discuss offers. Authority to sell would be sought in open session afterward. The property is subject to the Surplus Land Act, pursuant to California Government Code Sec. 54221(a)(1), which defines a local agency to include any housing authority. The Act defines “exempt surplus land” to include land that is less than one-half acre in area and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income purposes, pursuant to Government Code Sec. 54221(f)(1)(B).

Pursuant to the exemption, a local agency is not required to make a declaration at a public meeting for the property so long as the Housing Authority defines the land in a notice that is published and available for public comment, including notice to specified entities, at least 30 days before the exemption takes effect. Government Code Sec. 54221(b)(4).

This staff report constitutes notice as required by law and will be available online for at least 30 days. The subject land is considered “exempt surplus land” under the Surplus Land Act, pursuant to California Government Code Sec. 54221(f)(1)(B). The reason the subject land meets the exemption is it is less than one-half acre in area and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income purposes. Members of the public and any other interested person or party may comment at the Housing Authority governing board meeting March 16, and/or submit comment any time before April 30 to Tanya Ray, Housing Manager,

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026

TO: Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Darin E. Gale‚ City Manager
Sara Bellafronte, Assistant to the City Manager

SUBJECT: Presentation and Request for City Council Direction on the Draft Fiscal Year 2026-27 City Council Strategic Plan

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FISCAL IMPACT

This item has no fiscal impact. It should be noted that upon potential future adoption, the Plan is intended to inform and guide decisions that may have a financial impact during the budget process and as projects and programs are considered.

RECOMMENDATION

City Council provide direction on the Draft Fiscal Year 2026-27 Plan.

BACKGROUND

On January 24, 2026, staff and Vicky Regan of Hone Leadership facilitated a City Council public workshop. The workshop aimed to review and define City Council priority areas and align impact-driven goals, objectives, and implementation measures, and introduce performance measure concepts for the upcoming year. It also included a review of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Plan and accomplishments and a discussion on Council members’ use of their Shared Values Charter since its adoption last year.

Page 38 of 224 ends

The City Council participated in collaborative conversations as well as a voting exercise to identify and organize priority areas and adjust goals. This led to the following structural updates proposed in the Draft FY 2026-27 Plan:

• Rephrasing of Priority Area definitions as declaration statements • Re-imagining the Youth Development Priority Area to the Community Enrichment & Youth Development Priority Area
• Designation of Improvement Priority Areas: Economic Development, Public Infrastructure, and Effective Service Delivery
• Designation of Sustainment Priority Areas: Youth Development and Public Safety

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS

Subcommittees received staff presentations demonstrating proposed goals based on current operations, objectives, and measures of success on the following dates:
• February 18, 2026: Life Enrichment
• February 20, 2026: Finance Management
• March 4, 2026: Infrastructure & Transportation
• March 5, 2026: Public Safety

Subcommittee findings are reflected in the Draft Fiscal Year 2026-27 Plan, as shown in the attached handout.

STAFF ANALYSIS

Staff incorporated subcommittee input and feedback received at the January 24th workshop in the proposed Plan. The proposed Plan builds on Fiscal Year 2024-25 and Fiscal Year 2025-26 Plans and reflects continued priorities of Economic Development, Public Infrastructure, Public Safety, and Effective Service Delivery while expanding the Youth Development priority to include Community Enrichment. This augmentation emphasizes meeting community-wide needs for services and programs that enhance quality of life and promote lifelong self-sufficiency. The proposed Plan continues to function as a multi-year living document with long-term goals, mid-term objectives, and annual implementation measures.

With an emphasis on impact-driven goals, the Plan seeks to create:
• A diverse, resilient, and growing local economy with a jobs housing ratio of 3:5, productive transitions of legacy industrial and underperforming properties, and expanded commercial revenue
• Safe and reliable infrastructure sustained efficiently over time, starting with reduction of sewer overflows and water line breaks, targeted beautification projects, and a concerted effort to increase Pavement Condition Index by 6 points by 2030

Page 39 of 224 ends

• An engaged and connected community supported with tools to thrive sourced from existing educational, public safety, regional, and community resources • A safe community built on trust and collaboration with public safety with 3.0 or less violent crimes per capita and 18.0 or less property crimes per capita, and an emphasis on emergency preparedness
• A satisfied community achieved through efficiency, assistance, feedback implementation, technology
These visions are embodied in a series of five proposed declaration statements developed through workshop and subcommittee input. The statements and additional draft Plan details can be found in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 City Council Strategic Plan Handout attached. Staff requests a final round of feedback from the City Council before potential adoption of the Plan in April 2026.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution to Accept Grant Funds and Authorize City Manager to Execute a Grant Agreement From the California Department of Transportation for the Youth and Veterans Creating a Cleaner Future Project and Amend FY 2025-26 Budget

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FISCAL IMPACT

The total cost of Project is $383,574. The City has been awarded $348,960 through the CCEP grant administered by Caltrans. The required local match of $34,614 will be provided entirely through in-kind staff time dedicated to project oversight, coordination, and reporting. No additional General Fund contribution is required. This funding structure reduces fiscal impact on the General Fund, while ensuring appropriate administrative oversight and compliance with Caltrans requirements. In addition, the Fiscal Year 2025-26 will be amended to increase revenue by $348,960 and expenditures by $348,960 to account for the grant award.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution accepting the CCEP grant funds and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Grant Agreement with Caltrans

Page 50 of 224 ends

for the City of Pittsburg Youth and Veterans Creating a Cleaner Future project and amend the FY 2025-26 budget.

BACKGROUND

Caltrans administers the CCEP, a statewide initiative aimed at beautifying public spaces, reducing litter, and creating local job opportunities. The Project focuses on community beautification while providing workforce development opportunities for veterans and at-risk youth.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS

This item was not presented to a subcommittee.

STAFF ANALYSIS

The project advances the City’s goals of improving community aesthetics while supporting workforce development for veterans and at-risk youth. Up to six veterans and five at-risk youth will be hired to conduct litter abatement, landscaping, graffiti removal, general beautification, and activation of a creativity wall, all contributing to cleaner and more welcoming public spaces throughout Pittsburg.

The at-risk youth will design guidelines, monitor activities, and coordinate programming for a litter-abatement campaign centered around two Urban Creativity Walls located at East Santa Fe and Willow Pass Road.

The creativity wall introduces a new concept for the area, an open canvas that invites local artists to express themselves within guidelines created by the at-risk youth and City staff. In developing these guidelines, participating youth will learn budgeting, decision-making, and project-management skills, while gaining exposure to City operations and potential career pathways in local government.

The project also provides ongoing litter-abatement services across several high-need locations. Central Park will receive regular cleanups supported by at-risk youth through community-led events. Sections of Willow Pass Road and the Pittsburg/Antioch Highway will be cleaned at least three times per week by veteran crews due to heavy traffic and chronic dumping. North Parkside and Ranger Road will be serviced two to three times weekly by veterans, and the 8th Street Linear Park will receive two to three cleanings per week, with opportunities for community cleanup activities given its proximity to an elementary school. Together, these targeted efforts address chronic blight in key gateways and community corridors, improving public perception and neighborhood pride.

Staff have reviewed the grant guidelines and determined the City is well positioned to implement the project successfully. Acceptance of the grant and authorization to execute the Grant Agreement will allow the City to initiate the project and secure the

Page 51 of 224 ends

awarded funds. The grant term runs from April 1, 2026, through April 1, 2027, and execution of the agreement is required for the City to receive and administer the funding.

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026

TO: Chair and Governing Board Members

FROM: Darin E. Gale‚ Executive Director
Jordan Davis, Director of Community and Economic
Development

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Pittsburg Power Company Resolution Authorizing the Executive Director to Execute
Interconnection Agreement Between Pittsburg Power
Company and Pacific Gas & Electric Company, to Pay Costs Associated with the Agreement After Receiving Funds From the Developer, and to Take Any Actions Necessary to
Effectuate the Agreement

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no direct fiscal impact to Pittsburg Power Company associated with approval of the IA.

All costs associated with studies, interconnection facilities, system upgrades, and related work performed under the IA are the responsibility of Pittsburg Data Hub LLC, (“AVAIO”), the developer of the Tech Park project. As such, the project developer will bear the financial responsibility for any costs incurred by PPC or PG&E in implementing the agreement, and PPC will not authorize PG&E to undertake any work until AVAIO

Page 74 of 224 ends

has provided adequate prepayment to PPC. This structure ensures that PPC does not advance money for costs associated with the new load interconnection.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends the PPC Board adopt the resolution authorizing the Executive Director to execute Interconnection Agreement between Pittsburg Power Company and Pacific Gas & Electric Company, to pay costs associated with the Agreement after receiving funds from the Developer, and to take any actions necessary to effectuate the Agreement.

BACKGROUND

PPC is a joint powers authority that operates a publicly owned electric and gas utility, with the right to provide electric and gas service within the state of California. As PPC continues to support economic development and new industrial investment in the community, coordination with the regional transmission system is necessary to ensure reliable, cost-effective service for large new loads.

PG&E owns and operates an extensive transmission network in Northern and Central California and participates in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) balancing authority area. The IA allows PPC’s system to interconnect with PG&E’s transmission infrastructure so that PPC may reliably serve the new load associated with the project. The IA further establishes the terms and conditions under which the two systems will interconnect to serve new retail load, specifically the load associated with the Perseus Data Center project; outlines the planning, construction, operation, and maintenance requirements for the interconnection facilities; and ensures that both parties operate their systems in accordance with Good Utility Practice and applicable regulatory requirements.

SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS

This item was not presented to a Subcommittee.

STAFF ANALYSIS

The proposed IA establishes the technical and operational framework for the safe and reliable interconnection of the PPC and PG&E electric systems, financial obligations, and allocation of risk.

Under the IA, PG&E generally will:

• Provide interconnection service at the designated point(s) of interconnection between the two systems.
• Own, operate, and maintain its transmission and interconnection facilities located on PG&E’s system.

Page 75 of 224 ends

• Coordinate system maintenance, outages, and operational requirements with PPC to ensure reliable interconnected operation.
• Perform any modification-related work on PG&E facilities when requested under a Work Performance Agreement.
• File the IA and any associated agreements with FERC as required.

Under the IA, PPC generally will:

• Own, operate, and maintain the facilities located on the PPC system. • Provide system planning information and load forecasts necessary to support regional transmission planning.
• Install and maintain CAISO-quality metering at the point(s) of interconnection. • Coordinate system operations and maintenance activities with PG&E. • Ensure that all PPC facilities and equipment are designed, operated, and maintained consistent with Good Utility Practice and applicable reliability standards.

PPC staff is negotiating related agreements with the project developer so that, although PPC is the party bound by the IA with PG&E, the project developer will be contractually responsible for all costs associated with the interconnection, including studies, system upgrades, interconnection facilities, and other related costs, and provide a financial guarantee. This structure protects PPC from financial exposure associated with the new load interconnection.

A key provision in the agreement is the right to suspend PG&E construction and installation work at any time (see Attachment 2, Appendix B, Section 6). If PPC has not requested PG&E to resume work within three years after the suspension, the agreement terminates. This provision gives PPC the ability to halt activities should circumstances change, including project timing, system reliability considerations, or other operational factors.

There are generally three costs associated with the IA, which shall be the responsibility of AVAIO, through PPC, to pay: 1) PG&E engineering review (estimated cost of $150,000); 2) improvements to the existing PG&E substation located near the former NRG power plant (estimated cost of $10,200,000); and 3) development of the PG&E switchyard (estimated cost of $75,000,000-300,000,000)(see Attachment 2, Page B- 14). Both payments 1 and 2, as noted, require prepayment to PG&E, and PPC will not authorize work to begin, nor will PG&E commence work, until funds have been deposited by AVAIO. Development of the switchyard represents the largest and most variable cost; however, this work is to be completed on property currently owned by AVAIO which will be deeded to PG&E upon completion, and does not entail any work on PG&E's current system. Should this work not commence, be abandoned, or completed to a standard PG&E refuses to accept, PG&E would have no recourse for requiring PPC start, complete, or alter the work.

The Agreement further provides for indemnity, termination of the Agreement for

Page 76 of 224 ends

material breach following notice and failure to cure, and dispute resolution procedures.

Following execution by both parties, PG&E will submit the Interconnection Agreement to FERC for acceptance. The IA does not become fully effective until FERC accepts the filing, consistent with federal regulations governing interconnections with transmission systems.

2 Agreement or similar agreement, all of which enable PG&E to satisfy the obligations of operating within the CAISO’s Balancing Authority Area; 2.4 Whereas, PPC is a California joint powers authority that includes the City of Pittsburg, California (“Pittsburg”). PPC operates as a local publicly owned electric and natural gas utility and has provided wholesale and retail electric and natural gas services since 1997; 2.5 Whereas, PPC requests interconnection to PG&E’s System to serve PPC’s retail load at the Point(s) of Interconnection, as specified and detailed in Appendix B. This Agreement is for interconnection to serve load only; and not intended for interconnection of generating facilities or energy storage facilities, subject to Section 9.4. More specifically, per the findings, results, and terms specified in the Facility Study Report, dated November 11, 2024, PPC proposes to serve a new commercial facility, including built-to-suit datacenters (generally, the “Tech Park’’). PPC proposes that the Tech Park will be located approximately 2 miles from the Pittsburg Power Plant Switchyard. Retail load associated with the Tech Park is estimated to be 16 MW starting in 2026 increasing up to 99 MW in 2029, as shown in Appendix B. PPC requested that the Point(s) of Interconnection be adjacent to the Tech Park and PPC plans to own or control all facilities on its System and be responsible for all expenses related to the operations and maintenance of facilities on PPC’s System, as described in Section 10.5; 2.6 Whereas, this Agreement is intended to provide for the terms and conditions of interconnection between the Systems of the Parties; 2.7 Whereas, the Parties shall operate as two independent, interconnected Systems pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with Good Utility Practice; and 2.8 Whereas, the Parties intend to cooperate in the operation of their respective Systems to maximize their mutual benefits under this Agreement.

Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as requiring a Party to settle any strike, lockout, or labor dispute in which it may be involved, or to accept any permit, certificate, or other authorization that contains conditions or terms the Party determines, in good faith, are unduly burdensome. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Uncontrollable Force shall not mean a Forced Outage. 4.41 Western Electricity Coordinating Council (“WECC”) The Western Electricity Coordinating Council or its successor. 5 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY 5.1 Scope This Agreement governs the interrelationship between PG&E’s System and PPC’s System, wherein PG&E agrees to provide Interconnection Service at the Point(s) of Interconnection by means of the interconnected and coordinated operation of PG&E’s System, a portion of which has been turned over to the operational control of the CAISO, and PPC’s System. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall relate exclusively to their rights and obligations pertaining to the interconnection of their respective Systems and PG&E’s provision of Interconnection Service to PPC at the Point(s) of Interconnection only. Under this Agreement, neither Party undertakes to provide or make available any Balancing Authority

Page 93 of 224 ends

14 Area services, transmission service, distribution service, power or energy sales or services, or ancillary services for the other Party or any Third Party. Each Party is responsible to meet its own obligations under FERC, NERC, WECC, and any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the operation and maintenance of its System and generators connected to its System. As of the Effective Date, any requests for transmission service on the PG&E transmission System from or to the Point(s) of Interconnection covered by this Agreement must be made with the CAISO and used in accordance with the CAISO Tariff and PG&E TO Tariff. This provision does not constitute a waiver by either Party of existing or future rights arising independently of this Agreement, in the event of a Significant Regulatory Change as described in Section 13.1. 5.2 Maximum Interconnected Load PPC’s most recent long-term load forecast does not exceed 99 MW. To the extent that PPC’s load growth changes, such that PPC’s load at the Point of Interconnection, including PPC’s Non-Conforming Load, is anticipated to exceed 99 MW for PPC’s System interconnected under this Agreement, the following provisions shall apply consistent with TO Tariff Sections 8 through 10 and the CAISO’s transmission planning process. PG&E will initiate a System Impact Study (that will be funded by PPC) to determine whether there is sufficient capacity on PG&E’s Interconnection Facilities, and Direct Assignment Facilities described in Appendix B System to support the additional PPC load. If necessary, and at PPC’s request and expense, if needed, PG&E will plan, install, operate and maintain any additional Direct Assignment Facilities and Reliability Upgrades that are required to provide or maintain a reliable interconnection with PG&E as contemplated by this Agreement and consistent with FERC practice. In the determination regarding capacity on PG&E’s System

Page 94 of 224 ends

15 and any additional Direct Assignment Facilities and Reliability Upgrades, PPCs load growth will be treated comparably to PG&E’s load growth. 5.3 Applicability This Agreement initially applies to PPC’s load at the Point of Interconnection described in Appendix B. 5.4 Conflicting Agreements Where any conflict exists between this Agreement and the CAISO Tariff, this Agreement shall prevail. Where any conflict exists between this Agreement and the TO Tariff, the TO Tariff shall prevail. 6 TERM AND TERMINATION 6.1 Effective Date Upon execution of this Agreement by both Parties, PG&E shall promptly file a request that FERC accept this Agreement for filing. The term “Effective Date” as used in this Agreement shall mean the later of: (1) 0000 hours of ______, 2026: or (2) the date on which FERC accepts this Agreement for filing. 6.2 Termination Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, this Agreement shall terminate on the earliest of: (a) the occurrence of the 15th anniversary of the Effective Date; (b) mutual agreement of the Parties; (c) as provided in Section 22; or (d) upon sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of PPC to PG&E prior to energization of the Point(s) of Interconnection. Termination of this Agreement shall not become effective until a notice of cancellation has been accepted for filing by FERC. If this Agreement is terminated by PPC pursuant to Section 6.2(d), then PPC’s only liability to

Page 95 of 224 ends

16 PG&E shall be to reimburse PG&E for the actual, documented Costs incurred by PG&E to undertake that portion of the construction of Reliability Upgrades described in Appendix B. 7 INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES 7.1 Transmission Point of Interconnection As of the Effective Date, the Point of Interconnection is listed and described in Appendix B. 7.2 Interconnection Facilities As of the Effective Date, PG&E’s and PPC’s Interconnection Facilities are described in Appendix B. 7.3 Unscheduled Flows As a result of being part of an interconnected system, one Party's actions may cause energy to flow over the other Party's System. Scheduled transfers of electric power between the Parties' Systems shall be deemed to occur at the Point(s) of Interconnection. Such scheduled transfers and those scheduled between the Parties' Systems and Third-Party systems may cause unscheduled flows of electric power between the Parties' Systems at the Point(s) of Interconnection and also through the Third-Party parallel transmission interconnections. In all circumstances, such unscheduled flows shall not be considered transmission service, and no Party shall incur (or levy) transmission service charges associated with such unscheduled energy flows on the other Party's (or its own) System. The Parties acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, unscheduled flows may result from Generation connected to the Pittsburg Substation, the Tesla Substation and/or power flow over the Pittsburg-Tesla #2 230 kV line. In the event that unscheduled flows of electric power cause an outage, Emergency or other contingency on a

Page 96 of 224 ends

17 Party's System, the Parties agree to use Good Utility Practice in accordance with Applicable Requirements to resolve such event. 8 BALANCING AUTHORITY AREA ARRANGEMENTS All transmission, distribution and generation facilities within a Party’s System shall, during the term of this Agreement, be within a Balancing Authority Area operated in accordance with Balancing Authority Area Arrangements. Failure by a Party to operate its System in accordance with, and to maintain in effect, Balancing Authority Area Arrangements shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and just cause for termination, after that Party has been provided a reasonable opportunity to obtain or re-establish such operation or make the necessary Balancing Authority Area Arrangements. 9 PRINCIPLES OF INTERCONNECTION 9.1 New Interconnection of PPC Facilities with PG&E’s Transmission System For any additional PPC facilities that are to be interconnected with PG&E-owned facilities that are part of the CAISO Controlled Grid and would constitute a new Point of Interconnection, PPC shall make application to PG&E under the then-current TO Tariff. Under such circumstances, PPC shall follow the interconnection procedures as set forth under such TO Tariff. Any newly-approved Point of Interconnection shall be added to Appendix B and the related transmission facilities arrangement will be incorporated into this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as either modifying, in any way, the applicable interconnection procedures included in the CAISO Tariff or TO Tariff, or affording PPC or PG&E any special treatment, preferable or otherwise, with respect to those interconnection procedures.

Page 97 of 224 ends

18 9.2 General Interconnection Requirements Each Party’s facilities or control equipment at existing and proposed Points of Interconnection between the Parties shall be provided, operated, and maintained by each Party in a manner to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the Parties’ Systems, consistent with Good Utility Practice and the directives of the Party’s Balancing Authority. 9.3 Obligation to Pay for System Protection Equipment Where one Party makes an upgrade to its protection system, consistent with Good Utility Practice, the other Party shall, if consistent with Good Utility Practice, make the corresponding upgrades, to the extent necessary to ensure continuous and reliable service, on its facilities at its own cost. The Parties shall coordinate their efforts pertaining to upgrades and provide as much advance notice to the other Party as is reasonably possible. 9.4 Obligation for Generators Interconnected to PPC’s System All generators owned and operated by PPC or PPC’s customers in parallel with PG&E’s System shall be designed, operated, and maintained in accordance with Good Utility Practice. Interconnection of such generators may have to follow the applicable CAISO’s generator interconnection procedures under the CAISO Tariff. 10 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS 10.1 Compliance with Good Utility Practice and Applicable Requirements When a Party is required by this Agreement to take action with respect to the planning, design, construction, maintenance, study, operation, or use of, or the making of Modifications, New Facility Additions, and Long-Term Changes to Operations to, its System, including the Interconnection Facilities, it shall take such action reasonably and in good faith, and in

Page 98 of 224 ends

19 accordance with Good Utility Practice and Applicable Requirements to avoid significantly affecting the operation of the other Party’s System. 10.2 Coordination of System Maintenance The Parties shall coordinate scheduled maintenance of the Interconnection Facilities, and any other facilities on their System(s) to the extent that an outage of such facility could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the System of the other Party (including upon the Interconnection Facilities), giving due consideration to the relevant Balancing Authority’s procedures applicable to requests for such outages. Each Party shall use due diligence to minimize the number and duration of outages for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. Except in cases of Forced Outages, a Party proposing an outage for scheduled maintenance of an Interconnection Facility or other facility that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the System of the other Party shall give the other Party (and the Balancing Authority for the other Party, if applicable) as much advance notice of the outage as possible, and in any case not less than three (3) Business Days, and shall request the agreement of the other Party to proceed with the outage, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event of a Forced Outage that makes advance notice impractical, or if the Parties cannot agree with respect to an outage of an Interconnection Facility, a Party may in its sole discretion proceed with the outage as necessary to perform required maintenance. Subject to other provisions of this Agreement, following a Forced Outage of an Interconnection Facility, a Party may contest the determination or claim by the Party responsible for the Forced Outage that such Forced Outage was required by Good Utility Practice under the circumstances and may seek compensation for actual damages caused by such outage. The Party with the System initiating a Forced Outage carries the burden of demonstrating that the outage was, in fact, required by Good

Page 99 of 224 ends

20 Utility Practice under the circumstances existing at the time. 10.3 [Reserved] [Reserved] 10.4 Mutual Obligation Communication Protocol The Parties shall establish a mutual obligation communications protocol that will cover clear and timely communication between the Parties regarding items such as, but not limited to, (a) scheduling line clearance and related maintenance, and (b) the reporting of System disturbances. 10.5 Obligation to Pay for Operation and Maintenance of Facilities PG&E shall be responsible for all expenses related to the operation and maintenance of PG&E’s Interconnection Facilities and PPC shall be responsible for all expenses related to the operation and maintenance of PPC’s Interconnection Facilities. For any and all operation and maintenance work that requires the coordination of PG&E, PPC shall request the participation of PG&E, designating whether the requested work falls under either Section 10.5.1 or Section 10.5.2 for coordination-related work and Modification-related work, respectively. PG&E shall make reasonable efforts to meet the schedule of PPC. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement as to whether the requested work is coordination-related work and should be requested under Section 10.5.1 or is Modification-related work and should be requested under Section 10.5.2, the PPC may address the dispute under Section 10.5.3. 10.5.1 Coordination Related Work Where the requested coordination-related work performed by PG&E at the request of PPC does not involve a Modification, PG&E shall perform such work at PPC’s request at no cost

Page 100 of 224 ends

21 to PPC at a time to be mutually agreed upon during regular business hours. This coordination- related work may include line switching procedures, installing grounds at PG&E’s own facilities, providing protection data for review, relay coordination review for minor setting changes that are not anticipated to affect PG&E’s relay settings, and such similar work that is relatively minimal in nature and reasonably considered as part of operation and maintenance of the Point(s) of Interconnection. 10.5.2 Modification-Related Work Where the requested work performed by PG&E at the request of PPC involves a Modification, such work must be performed under a Work Performance Agreement (“WPA”). PG&E will file the resulting WPA with FERC. WPAs that involve estimated costs at or above $100,000 will be trued-up upon completion. WPAs that involve work with estimated costs below $100,000 will not be trued-up. For WPAs estimated to cost less than $100,000, PG&E shall bill PPC for its estimated Costs associated with the performance of this work. The Parties shall cooperate in the execution and submission of the WPA for FERC’s approval. PPC must pay PG&E in advance for any work performed under a WPA. 10.5.3 Disagreement on Nature of Requested Work Where the Parties cannot agree that work is either coordination-related, performed at no charge, or Modification-related work, performed under a WPA, PPC is obligated to execute a WPA and pay in advance for such work if requested to do so by PG&E. PPC may subsequently submit a dispute pursuant to the Dispute Resolution Procedures as outlined in Section 23. 10.6 Obligations to Install and Maintain Protective Devices In addition to specific obligations set forth in this Agreement, each Party shall take all

Page 101 of 224 ends

22 reasonable measures, including without limitation the installation, modification, setting and adjusting, and use of automatic protective devices, Remedial Action Schemes, and other measures, as necessary to (a) maintain the integrity and continuity of its System, (b) separate its System from that of the other Party only when necessary, (c) protect its System from possible damage by reason of electric disturbance or faults caused by the operation, faulty operation, or non-operation of its facilities or other events that may originate on its System, the System of the other Party, or the systems of Third Parties, and (d) prevent and avoid Accidents. Such settings adjustments or replacement shall be coordinated with settings adjustments or replacement made by PG&E to PG&E’s protective relaying equipment, consistent with PG&E’s Transmission Interconnection Handbook, available on-line at http://www.PGE.com. PPC shall install, modify, set and adjust or replace its protective relaying equipment in the event that such is required by PG&E’s modification of PG&E’s System consistent with CAISO requirements and with Good Utility Practice. Each Party reserves the right to install, maintain, and operate such protective devices and take such protective actions as it deems necessary to protect its System. 10.7 Operational Limitations In order to ensure the reliability of each Party’s System in light of the Points of Interconnection between the Systems, and to minimize Adverse Impacts upon one Party resulting from the operations by the other Party, the Parties agree to: (1) perform or coordinate necessary power flow studies, and (2) establish reliability-related operational limitations and requirements that shall be developed in accordance with reliability management organizations having jurisdiction and Good Utility Practice. 10.7.1 System Separation Obligations and Rights Under normal operating conditions, except to the extent provided otherwise in this

23 Agreement, the Parties’ Systems, including the Interconnection Facilities, shall be operated on a synchronized and interconnected basis in accordance with this Agreement. Each Party shall have the right to temporarily disconnect its System at the Point(s) of Interconnection as follows: (a) at the request of a Party’s Balancing Authority or at the request of the other Party, under the authority each has to make such requests in accordance with Good Utility Practice and applicable procedures established by the Parties’ Balancing Authority or Authorities; (b) in the event of an Emergency involving or affecting its System, provided that disconnection at a Point of Interconnection shall be (1) the appropriate remedy for such Emergency, and (2) for as short a time as reasonable under the circumstances; (c) upon the operation of automatic protective devices, including Remedial Action Schemes, which shall be subject to the further provisions of Section 10.9; or (d) if reasonably required in order to investigate, inspect, maintain, install new equipment, repair or replace existing equipment, or to perform other construction or installation, provided that outages for maintenance shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.1. Interruptions, or reductions in service, or separation of facilities under this Section 10.7.1 shall be solely to protect System reliability or public safety, and not for economic reasons. In the event of such interruption or reduction in service, the Parties shall restore full service on a basis comparable to the restoration of other public service and safety facilities and consistent with their respective Balancing Authority Area Arrangements. 10.7.2 Corrective Measure s If either Party determines that the operation or maintenance of the Parties’ System(s) is of such a nature that continued operation on a synchronized and interconnected basis would not be consistent with Good Utility Practice, or if a Party’s Balancing Authority determines that the operation or maintenance of the System(s) is such that continued operation on a synchronized

Page 103 of 224 ends

24 and interconnected basis would not be consistent with Good Utility Practice or Applicable Requirements, such Party promptly shall notify its Balancing Authority and the other Party. Before taking any corrective action, the Party concerned with continued synchronized and interconnected operation shall give notice to its Balancing Authority and the other Party, specifically identifying the corrective action needed. If the Parties cannot agree on specific corrective action to be taken, the matter shall be addressed through the dispute resolution process in Section 23. 10.8 Obligations Following Operation of Automatic Protective Devices If the Parties’ Systems are disconnected due to the operation of an automatic protective device, the Point of Interconnection shall remain open until the cause of such operation has been identified and eliminated or the Parties otherwise agree that it is safe to reconnect the Parties’ Systems and restore the Point of Interconnection. The Parties, in coordination with each Party’s Balancing Authority, shall use due diligence to (a) identify and eliminate promptly the causes of the separation, (b) restore the Point of Interconnection to synchronized, interconnected operation as soon as practicable, and (c) assist in maintaining the integrity and continuity of the Point of Interconnection between the Parties’ Systems. In addition, PG&E and the PPC shall coordinate such restoration and all installations, upgrades, and replacements of protective devices at Point(s) of Interconnection in accordance with Good Utility Practice. 10.9 Jeopardy If at any time continuity of transmission service within the CAISO Balancing Authority Area is being jeopardized due to failure of facilities, PG&E and PPC shall coordinate their responses to the jeopardy, to implement CAISO operating orders in accordance with their respective Balancing Authority Area Arrangements, and Good Utility Practice. Such

Page 104 of 224 ends

25 coordination may include the reduction of load; provided, except as otherwise set forth in the Parties’ Balancing Authority Area Arrangements, such reduction of load shall maintain, as far as may be practicable, the relative sizes of load served by each Party in the same proportion as existed before such reduction of load. Either Party may also temporarily interrupt or reduce deliveries to Point(s) of Interconnection or separate all or a part of the facilities of its System from all or a part of the System of the other Party, or the System which directly or indirectly serves the other Party, if the first Party determines that the following conditions exist or that the described action is necessary in accordance with Good Utility Practice: (i) an Emergency; (ii) in order to install equipment on, make repairs or replacements to, make investigations and inspections of, or perform maintenance or other work on the first Party’s System to the extent required to respond to an Uncontrolled Force or other emergency condition; (iii) to prevent a hazard to life or property; (iv) as necessitated by Good Utility Practice to the extent required to respond to an Uncontrolled Force or other emergency condition; or (v) where the operation of the first Party’s System is suspended, interrupted or interfered with as a result of Uncontrollable Force or Emergency. The Parties understand and agree that interruption of System operations or reduction of load under such circumstances is a matter that should be coordinated among PG&E, PPC and the CAISO based upon the CAISO Tariff and any Balancing Authority Area Arrangements entered into between PG&E, PPC and the CAISO. Such interruptions or reductions of load shall be minimized and implemented after all other practical remedies have been exhausted. 10.10 Voltage Control and Reactive Power Flows 10.10.1 General Obligations Each Party shall coordinate voltage control and reactive devices in coordination with the

Page 105 of 224 ends

26 CAISO in order to reasonably maximize overall stability limits, meet the Parties’ and the applicable CAISO voltage criteria, minimize losses, and maximize transfer capability both within the CAISO’s area and for transfers with other Balancing Authority Areas. To the extent possible, the Parties will share this burden in an equitable manner. 10.10.2 Area Voltage Schedule s PPC shall use all reasonable efforts to follow the area voltage schedules specific to each Point of Interconnection established by PG&E and the CAISO, as those schedules may be revised from time to time. 10.10.3 General Obligation to Limit Reactive Powe r Flows Subject to the requirements of Section 10.9.2, each Party shall plan, design, and operate its System so as to reasonably minimize the interchange of reactive power at Points of Interconnection. Should one Party determine that the other Party is causing Adverse Impacts on its System by not reasonably minimizing the interchange of reactive power at Point(s) of Interconnection, then the processes of Sections 11.2.2 and 11.2.3 may be implemented. 10.11 Metering 10.11.1 Metering Responsibility PPC shall be responsible for the installation, maintenance, and certification of CAISO quality metering for all its Points of Interconnections covered by this Agreement in accordance with applicable CAISO Tariff provisions and metering protocols. PPC shall be responsible for obtaining CAISO approval for the installation of CAISO metering at the Points of Interconnections covered by this Agreement. 10.11.2 Meter Ownership

Page 106 of 224 ends

27 PPC shall own all CAISO metering infrastructure, and PPC shall be responsible for all Costs of such infrastructure including, without limitation, testing and certification of CAISO metering. 10.12 Obligation to Provide Telemetry Data The Parties agree to exchange telemetry data necessary for the reliable operation, financial settlement, and contract administration of their respective systems and facilities in accordance with Applicable Requirements. The Parties agree to utilize existing communication channels between their facilities to effect the delivery of telemetry data. The Party that owns the telemetry data will seek the release of the data from the Balancing Authority for the requesting Party. With respect to such data, the receiving Party shall treat the data as confidential, not to be used for merchant purposes, and shall not release the data to a third party, except as described in Section 10.12.3. 10.13 Operating Records Each Party shall maintain operating records in accordance with Good Utility Practice. Each Party shall have reasonable access to such operating records kept by the other Party which reasonably relate to interconnected operation of the Parties’ Systems; provided, that a Party requesting such records shall be required to keep such records confidential if requested to do so by the other Party, to the extent allowed by law, including the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act. Such records shall include, but not be limited to, operating logs, scheduled transfers through each Point of Interconnection, line loadings, outage and power quality reports, voltages and reactive power. 10.13.1 Obligations Regarding Confidential Information

Page 107 of 224 ends

28 The Parties anticipate that during the course of the Parties’ relationship under this Agreement, they will at times supply copies of confidential or proprietary information to each other, including information that should be kept confidential from and not disclosed to certain departments within a Party (e.g., transmission planning information that cannot be disclosed to marketing or merchant personnel) or to Third Parties, including the public. If one Party supplies confidential information to the other, it is the responsibility of the supplying Party to inform the receiving Party that such information is confidential and to clearly label or otherwise mark each page of such information with the following warning, including where applicable any expiration date or time limit on the confidentiality of the information: “Confidential -- Proprietary Information”. It shall be the responsibility and obligation of the receiving Party to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with the supplying Party’s instructions and to avoid disclosure of information designated confidential to any third party unless required to do so by law, in which case Section 10.12.3, below, shall control. 10.13.2 Identification of Confidential Electronic Information The Parties also anticipate that each Party may, at times, supply, deliver or exchange confidential electronic information with the other Party in a manner that will not allow the information to be physically marked in a way that indicates to the recipient that the information is confidential and should be treated as such. With the intent of ensuring that both Parties understand and appreciate that certain electronic information merits a confidential designation, the Parties identify the following types of electronic data as confidential and hereby agree in advance of such an exchange or delivery of this information to treat all instances of it as confidential pursuant to this section: (a) Telemetered System parameters including, but not limited to, flows, voltages, and

Page 108 of 224 ends

29 breaker and other System equipment status (b) Electronic system data including, but not limited to, operating diagrams and base cases. 10.13.3 Third Party Requests for a Party’s Confidential Information If a Party (“Receiving Party”) receives a request from a Third Party, whether under the California Public Records Act, California Government Code Sections 7920-7931, as amended, or otherwise, for access to, or inspection, disclosure of copying of, any of the other Party’s confidential data or information (“Disclosure Request”), then the Receiving Party shall provide notice to and a copy of the Disclosure Request to the other Party within four (4) Business Days of receipt of the Disclosure Request by the Receiving Party. Within five (5) Business Days of the other Party’s receipt of such notice and copy of the Disclosure Request from the Receiving Party, the other Party shall provide notice to the Receiving Party of the other Party’s election to respond to the Disclosure Request in one of the following ways: (a) the other Party shall request the Receiving Party to deny or object to the Disclosure Request with respect to confidential information in whole or in part, and the other Party shall either defend the denial of the Disclosure Request at the other Party’s sole Cost (with reasonable assistance provided by the Receiving Party), or the other Party shall indemnify the Receiving Party for all Costs associated with denying or objecting to the Disclosure Request. Such indemnification by the other Party of the Receiving Party shall include all of the Receiving Party’s Costs reasonably incurred with respect to denial of or objection to the Disclosure Request, including but not limited to Costs, penalties, and the Receiving Party’s attorneys’ fees; or (b) the other Party shall agree that the Receiving Party may grant the Disclosure Request without any liability by the Receiving Party to the other Party. This section shall survive termination of this Agreement, and shall remain in full force

Page 109 of 224 ends

30 and effect until terminated in writing by the Parties, and all information that is designated as confidential shall remain confidential until the Parties agree in writing that it is no longer confidential. 11 PLANNING OBLIGATIONS 11.1 System Planning Coordination The Parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to share and update, on an ongoing basis (and subject to confidentiality as applicable), System Planning Information sufficient to enable each Party to assess potential Adverse Impacts to its System that may result from any Modifications, New Facility Additions, or Long-Term Changes to Operations made on or resulting from the other Party’s System. At any time, in response to a written request under this Agreement, a Party promptly shall provide to the requesting Party such System Planning Information as requested, provided that such information is or can be made available without significant burden as part of or derived from the results of or information used for the responding Party’s own transmission planning activities. In order for PG&E to include the effects of growth of PPC’s System loads, including PPC’s Non-Conforming Load, in PG&E’s planning studies, PPC shall provide PG&E with PPC’s electric load planning forecast by October 1 of each year. PPC shall also provide PG&E with certain network modeling data as required pursuant to Applicable Requirements, including NERC Standards MOD-031 and MOD-32, as such may be revised from time to time. Such electric load planning forecast shall contain the best estimate of PPC’s gross System load (actual MW and MWh as measured at the Point of Interconnection plus generation resources internal to PPC’s System) and net System load (actual MW and MWh as measured at the Point of Interconnection less generation resources internal to PPC’s System) for the next five-year period.

Page 110 of 224 ends

31 The initial forecast shall be submitted to PG&E within 90 days of the Effective Date. For avoidance of doubt, in the CAISO transmission planning process PG&E will assume that all PPC’s load will be Non-conforming Load, unless further information is otherwise provided by PPC. Both PG&E and PPC shall be responsible for participating in planning for the need for and construction of any necessary transmission facilities consistent with TO Tariff Sections 8 through 10 and the CAISO’s transmission planning process. If PG&E disagrees with the electric load planning forecast provided by PPC, PG&E shall coordinate with PPC, and if necessary, either Party may request that the dispute be addressed pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 23. Nothing in this Section 11 prevents PG&E from using, relying on, or incorporating alternative forecasts in planning studies; provided, however, PG&E shall promptly inform PPC of PG&E’s use of an alternative forecast. 11.2 System Reinforcements If, as a result of its annual planning review process, PG&E determines, through studies conducted consistent with TO Tariff Sections 8 through 10 and the CAISO’s transmission planning process, that a need exists to construct System Reinforcements that will have a direct effect on PPC, PG&E shall inform PPC through a notice pursuant to Section 32. The Parties shall then follow the applicable procedures of the PG&E TO Tariff Sections 8 through 10 and the CAISO’s transmission planning process. 11.3 Avoidance of Adverse Impacts 11.3.1 Obligations to Provide Written Notification Throughout the term of this Agreement, if a Primary Party intends to make a Modification, New Facility Addition, or Long-Term Change to Operations on its System that

Page 111 of 224 ends

32 could reasonably be expected to affect materially either or both Parties’ rights, obligations or operations under this Agreement or that may reasonably result in an Adverse Impact to the System of the Coordinating Party, before making any irrevocable commitment to proceed and before any Long-Term Change to Operations occurs, the Primary Party shall provide written notice to the Coordinating Party promptly, but in no event later than six months in advance of such change, or as soon as such Party has knowledge if less than six months, before such change is expected to occur. Subject to applicable confidentiality obligations, the Primary Party’s written notice shall (i) include a description of the proposed Modification, New Facility Addition, or Long-Term Change to Operations, and (ii) include the expected schedule for installation or implementation and a description of any studies performed to assess a possible Adverse Impact to the Coordinating Party’s System and the nature of the potential Adverse Impact. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party is not obligated to give notice under this Section 11.2.a where the potential Modification, New Facility Addition, or Long-Term Change to Operations is studied in or is the result of the CAISO generator interconnection planning process; provided that the CAISO informs the Coordinating Party in writing of the potential Modification, New Facility Addition or Long-Term Change to Operations in time for the Coordinating Party to participate in the CAISO’s planning process and to express its concerns and provide information for the study conducted under the CAISO generator interconnection planning process. 11.3.2 Failure to Provide Reasonable or Timely Notice To the extent that a Coordinating Party has a reasonable belief that the Primary Party failed to provide reasonable or timely notice as required in Section 11.2. a, above, and proceeded with construction of a Modification, New Facility Addition or Long-Term Change to Operations

Page 112 of 224 ends

33 on its System that could reasonably be expected to affect materially either or both Parties’ rights, obligations or operations under this Agreement or that may result or may have resulted in an Adverse Impact on the System of the Coordinating Party, the Coordinating Party may demand that a study be undertaken to determine whether the action(s) taken by the Primary Party will result or has resulted in an Adverse Impact on the System of the Coordinating Party. Under such circumstances, upon receipt of a demand by a Coordinating Party for such a study, the Parties shall choose a mutually agreeable Third Party to conduct the study. Once the Parties agree upon the Third Party, the Parties shall jointly engage the Third Party to conduct the study, and all services and costs charged by the Third Party relating to the study will be divided equally, and the Primary Party and the Coordinating Party will each be initially responsible for half the costs to perform the study. 11.3.3 Responsibility for Study Costs If the study described in Section 11.2. b, above, is conducted by a Third Party and it concludes that the action(s) of the Primary Party will not or did not result in an Adverse Impact on the System of the Coordinating Party, then the Coordinating Party must reimburse the Primary Party for the portion of the Costs paid by the Primary Party to the Third Party that performed the study. If the study described in Section 11.2. b, above, is conducted by a Third Party and concludes that the action(s) or proposed action(s) of the Primary Party will or did result in an Adverse Impact on the System of the Coordinating Party above $100,000, then the Primary Party must reimburse the Coordinating Party for the portion of the Costs paid by the Coordinating Party to the Third Party that performed the study. 11.3.4 No Alterations of Obligations to Avoid Adverse Impacts This section does not alter the obligations or responsibilities, identified elsewhere in this

Page 113 of 224 ends

34 Agreement, of any Party to mitigate Adverse Impacts or to pay damages resulting from Adverse Impacts. 11.3.5 Avoidance and Mitigation of Adverse Impacts (a) Primary Party’s Duty With Respect to Adverse Impacts. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, the Primary Party is wholly responsible for avoiding or fully mitigating an Adverse Impact, and to the extent Adverse Impacts cannot be avoided or fully mitigated, for fully compensating the Coordinating Party for all Costs incurred pursuant to, or resulting from, the Adverse Impact. When notice is provided pursuant to Section 11.2. a, the Primary Party shall complete or cause to be completed the installation or application of all avoidance and mitigation measures before the proposed or contemplated Modification, New Facility Addition, or Long-Term Change to Operations is placed in service. When notice is not provided pursuant to Section 11.2. a., and a study conducted pursuant to Section 11.2. c. concludes that the action(s) of the Primary Party will or did result in an Adverse Impact on the System of the Coordinating Party, then the Primary Party must undertake completion, installation or application of all avoidance and mitigation measures at its own cost immediately. (b) Primary Party’s Obligations With Respect to Third Parties. If the Primary Party has a transmission interconnection to a Third Party or becomes an Affected System due to a Third Party’s actions, which causes the Primary Party to make Modifications, New Facility Additions, or Long-Term Changes to Operations on the Primary Party’s System that may result in an Adverse Impact, the Primary Party shall require in relevant contractual arrangements, including but not limited to interconnection agreements, that the Third Party shall be responsible for: (1) notifying and coordinating any necessary studies with the Coordinating Party; and (2) mitigating any Adverse Impacts.

Page 114 of 224 ends

35 In addition to agreements with the Primary Party, the Primary Party shall also use best efforts to require the Third Party to undertake negotiations of one or more agreements with the Coordinating Party to mitigate such Adverse Impacts, and the responsibility for Costs and other damages shall be determined between Third Party and the Coordinating Party in such agreement(s). If requested by the Coordinating Party, the Primary Party shall participate in any Adverse Impact study related discussions between the Third Party and the Coordinating Party. 11.3.6 Dispute s Related to Adverse Impacts If a dispute arises between the Parties concerning (a) the interpretation of, or obligations imposed by, an Applicable Requirement, or (b) the existence, cause, extent, responsibility for, or compensation due, as a result of an Adverse Impact that cannot or could not be avoided or is not fully mitigated, including the interpretation or application of the results of studies, the Parties shall refer the matter to the Authorized Representative. If the Authorized Representative is unable to resolve the matter within thirty (30) calendar days following referral under this section, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 23. 12 AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE Each Party shall appoint its own authorized representative to address disputes relating to operational and maintenance issues, contract and cost issues, Adverse Impacts, and new service requests. Within ten (10) Business Days of referral of a matter by either Party in writing to the Authorized Representative of the other Party, the Authorized Representatives of each Party shall meet to resolve the dispute. 13 SIGNIFICANT REGULATORY CHANGE

Page 115 of 224 ends

36 The procedures set forth in this section shall apply in the event of a Significant Regulatory Change, as described below. 13.1 Significant Regulatory Change A “Significant Regulatory Change,” as this term is used in this section and this Agreement, shall be deemed to occur if FERC, the CPUC, the CAISO or any other agency or court having jurisdiction, the California Legislature, California Executive Office, or the United States Congress issues an order or decision or adopts or modifies a tariff or filed contract, or enacts a law that significantly interferes with the ability of either Party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, including any market redesign which has significant effects on either Party’s operations or economics under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above definition, if either of the following two circumstances occurs, then either Party may assert a claim that a Significant Regulatory Change under this section has occurred, regardless of whether the circumstance resulted from or was ordered by the FERC, CPUC, or any other regulatory body or agency or any court of competent jurisdiction or legislative body described above: (a) PG&E becomes operator of, and dispatcher of electric energy in, the Balancing Authority Area in which PG&E’s electric system in northern and central California is located, or if PG&E withdraws from the CAISO and provides transmission services pursuant to its own open access transmission tariff, or (b) PPC becomes its own Balancing Authority or joins another Balancing Authority for all or a portion of its System. 13.2 Change in CAISO Functions or Scope The Parties recognize that there may be a change in the functions performed by the

Page 116 of 224 ends

37 CAISO, or in the scope of a Party’s facilities or System under the operational control of the CAISO, or the replacement of the CAISO with a regional transmission organization that may perform different functions or have a different scope than the CAISO had as of the Effective Date. Such a change shall not be deemed to be a Significant Regulatory Change unless the conditions described in the above Section 13.1 are satisfied. A transfer from PG&E to the CAISO of any functions contemplated in this Agreement shall only be considered a Significant Regulatory Change if the conditions described in Section 13.1 are satisfied. 13.3 Notification of Significant Regulatory Change If at any time during the term of this Agreement either Party anticipates the occurrence of a Significant Regulatory Change, and if such change may reasonably be expected to materially affect either or both Parties’ obligations or operations under this Agreement, such Party shall provide written notice to the other Party as soon as practicable. The notice shall contain a description of the change, including expected time schedules, in addition to describing expected effect of the significant change to that Party’s System. If the Party giving notice believes that it will be necessary to amend this Agreement to address the anticipated change, then the notice to the other Party shall include a request that the Parties meet in order to negotiate an appropriate amendment to this Agreement. The Parties shall promptly enter into good faith negotiations in an attempt to achieve a mutually agreeable modification to this Agreement to address any such significant change, with the intent of perpetuating, to the extent possible under the circumstances, the goals, obligations and purpose of this Agreement. 13.4 Amendment of Agreement If the Parties agree that an amendment to this Agreement is necessary to address a Significant Regulatory Change, as defined in this section, the Parties will proceed to negotiate

Page 117 of 224 ends

38 such amendment. If the Parties have not reached agreement within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of their first meeting (whether in-person or remote?), any unresolved issues may be submitted for resolution through the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 23; provided that both Parties agree to such procedures. After the sixty (60) day period stated above, if both Parties do not agree to or are unable to resolve the dispute using the procedures set forth in Section 23, either Party may, but is not required to, unilaterally initiate an appropriate proceeding respecting this Agreement with FERC pursuant to Sections 205 or 206 of the Federal Power Act (“FPA”) to accommodate the Significant Regulatory Change, which proceeding could include a request for termination of this Agreement, and the other Party may exercise its rights under the FPA to protest or oppose such filing. In the event of filing for termination, PG&E shall make an appropriate regulatory filing of a replacement agreement such that the replacement agreement is effective contemporaneously with the termination date of this Agreement. 14 BILLING AND PAYMENT 14.1 Billing and Payment The Parties shall bill each other for any Costs incurred pursuant to this Agreement or owed that they may agree on. Disputes relating to billing and Costs are to be resolved pursuant to the below Section 14.4. Payments shall be due thirty (30) calendar days after bills are received by the billed Party (“the Payment Due Date”). PPC shall pay PG&E Costs owed pursuant to this Agreement at: Pacific Gas and Electric Company

Page 118 of 224 ends

39 P.O. Box 997300 Sacramento, CA 95899-7300 PG&E shall pay PPC Costs owed pursuant to this Agreement at: Pittsburg Power Company 65 Civic Avenue Pittsburg, California 94565 14.2 Inte rest on Overdue Bills Overdue bills shall accrue interest from the Payment Due Date until the date full payment is made at the rate calculated in accordance with the methodology for refunds pursuant to Section 35.19(a) of FERC’s Regulations 18 C.F.R. § 35.19(a), as such regulation may be changed or superseded. 14.3 Adjustments All adjustments, billing errors, or the adjustment of advance or estimated billings to actual shall be resolved promptly, and, upon resolution, shall be promptly paid, or as the Parties may agree in writing, provided that all billing statements (excepting bills reflecting estimates subject to true-up under the provisions of this Agreement) shall be considered final and not subject to adjustment after three (3) years. Such adjustments shall be subject to the payment and interest calculation provisions of the above Section 14.2. Interest shall accrue on overpayments or underpayments from the Payment Due Date of the billing statement that was adjusted until the

Page 119 of 224 ends

40 date the adjusted amount is paid at the rate determined by Section 14.2. 14.4 Dispute d Amounts PG&E and PPC shall endeavor to resolve any billing dispute within thirty (30) calendar days of a Party’s receipt of the other Party’s notice of dispute (or such extended period as the Parties may mutually establish in writing). If the Parties cannot agree, either Party may initiate dispute resolution pursuant to Section 23. All settlements of disputed amounts shall be subject to the provisions of Section 14.2. Interest shall accrue, pursuant to Section 14.2, from the date the disputed amount was due until the date such settlement is paid. 15 ACCOUNTING 15.1 Accounting Proce dure s PG&E and PPC each shall record relevant Cost(s) and maintain its accounting records in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practices and FERC Uniform System of Accounts, or any account standard mutually-agreed upon in writing by the Parties. 15.2 Audit Rights For good cause and upon reasonable notice, each Party shall have the right to audit, at its own expense, the relevant records of the other Party for the limited purpose of determining whether the other Party is meeting its obligations under this Agreement and to comply with California law. Such audits shall be limited to only those records reasonably required to determine compliance with this Agreement. Each Party agrees to disclose the information obtained in such audit only to those persons, whether employed by such Party or otherwise, that are directly involved in the administration of this Agreement, or its designated representative. Each Party agrees that under no circumstances will it use any information obtained in such an

Page 120 of 224 ends

41 audit for any commercial purpose or for any purpose other than assuring enforcement of this Agreement. The right of each Party to audit shall be limited to data for two (2) prior years from the date of the final payment under the Agreement or from the date of the questioned event, as applicable. At no cost to the Party initiating the audit, the Party that is the subject of the audit shall have an initial obligation to collect the relevant records it maintained in the normal course of business and consistent with Good Utility Practice that reflect or substantiate the Costs(s) that are the subject of the audit. Beyond this initial production of relevant documents, however, the Party being audited shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Party initiating the audit of the reasonable subsequent costs it incurs that are associated with any further audit activity. After the initial production of audit documents, at the request of the Party that initiated the audit, the Party that is being audited shall provide an estimate of the expected cost for which it would seek reimbursement for further audit activity. 16. ADVERSE DETERMINATION OR EXPANSION OF OBLIGATIONS 16.1 Adverse Determination If, after the Effective Date, FERC or any other regulatory body, agency, legislature or court of competent jurisdiction determines that all or any part of this Agreement, its operation or effect is unjust, unreasonable, unlawful, imprudent or otherwise not in the public interest, each Party shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder only to the extent necessary to comply with or eliminate such adverse determination. The Parties shall promptly enter into good faith negotiations in an attempt to achieve a mutually agreeable modification to this Agreement to address any such adverse determination. 16.2 Expansion of Obligations If, after the Effective Date, FERC or any other regulatory body, agency, legislature or

Page 121 of 224 ends

42 court of competent jurisdiction orders or determines that this Agreement should be interpreted, modified, or significantly extended in such a manner that PG&E or PPC may be required to extend its obligations under this Agreement to a Third Party, or to incur significant new or different obligations to the other Party or to Third Parties not contemplated by this Agreement in a manner not anticipated by other agreements, then the Parties shall be relieved of their obligations only to the extent lawful and necessary to eliminate the effect of that order or determination, and the Parties shall attempt to renegotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of the Agreement to restore the original balance of benefits and burdens contemplated by the Parties as of the Effective Date. 16.3 Renegotiations If, within three (3) months after an order or decision as described in the above Sections 16.1 and 16.2 the Parties either (1) do not agree that a renegotiation is feasible or necessary; or (2) the Parties cannot agree to amend or supersede this Agreement, then either Party may initiate dispute resolution in accordance with Section 23 of this Agreement. If the disagreement between the Parties cannot be resolved through the dispute resolution process set forth in Section 23, then either (a) PG&E may unilaterally file with FERC an amendment to this Agreement or a replacement agreement or (b) PPC may take any action before the FERC or elsewhere which it deems appropriate. 17 ASSIGNMENT 17.1 Consent Required No transfer or assignment of the rights, benefits, duties or obligations of either Party under this Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of the other Party except as provided herein, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably; provided, that this

Page 122 of 224 ends

43 section shall not apply (1) to interests that arise by reason of any deed of trust, mortgage, indenture or security agreement heretofore granted or executed by any Party and (2) to the transfer of rights and obligations from PPC to a successor authorized by the Pittsburg City Council to provide retail electric utility service to which PPC has assigned its rights and obligations with respect to PPC’s System. No partial assignment of the rights, benefits, duties or obligations of either Party shall be permitted under this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, however such consent shall not be required for an assignment to a successor in interest in the ownership of all or a significant part of PG&E’s transmission system by reason of a reorganization pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Bankruptcy Court or any other court having jurisdiction over PG&E’s bankruptcy proceedings so long as the successor agrees to be, and is bound, by the obligations under this Agreement. 17.2 Assignee's Continuing Obligation Any successor to, or transferee or assignee of, the rights or obligations of a Party, whether by voluntary transfer, judicial sale, foreclosure sale or otherwise, shall be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as though such successor, transferee, or assignee were an original Party. 18 CAPTIONS All indices, titles, subject headings, section titles and similar items are provided for the purpose of reference and convenience and are not intended to affect the meaning of the contents or scope of the Agreement. 19 CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT Ambiguities or uncertainties in the wording of this Agreement shall not be construed for

44 or against either Party. 20 CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP OF FACILITIES Nothing in this Agreement alters the existing ownership status, possession or control of facilities, Systems or property of the Parties. 21 COOPERATION AND RIGHT OF ACCESS AND INSPECTION Each Party shall give to the other all necessary permission to enable it to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party shall give the other Party the right to have its agents, employees and representatives, when accompanied by the agents, employees and representatives of the other Party, enter its premises at reasonable times and in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations and Applicable Requirements for the purpose of inspecting the Interconnection Facilities of the other Party in a manner which is reasonable for assuring the performance of the Parties under this Agreement. 22 DEFAULT 22.1 Termination for Default If either Party breaches its material obligations under this Agreement, such breach shall constitute an event of default. If any Party defaults under this Agreement, the other Party may terminate this Agreement; provided that prior to such termination the other Party must provide the defaulting Party with written notice stating: 1) the Party’s intent to terminate; 2) the date of such intended termination; 3) the specific grounds for termination; 4) specific actions which the defaulting Party must take to cure the default, if any; and 5) a reasonable period of time, which shall not be less than sixty (60) calendar days, within which the defaulting Party may take action to cure the default and avoid termination, provided there is any action which can be taken to cure

Page 124 of 224 ends

45 the default. Termination shall not become effective without FERC’s acceptance for filing of a notice of cancellation of this Agreement. Application of dispute resolution pursuant to Section 23 of this Agreement with regard to separate disputes shall not be deemed to limit the right to terminate this Agreement under this section. 22.2 Other Remedies for Default The remedy under the above Section 22.1 is not exclusive, and subject to Section 23 of this Agreement either Party also shall be entitled to pursue any other legal, equitable or regulatory rights and remedies it may have in response to a default by the other Party. 23 DISPUTE RESOLUTION The Parties shall make best efforts to resolve all disputes arising under this Agreement expeditiously and by good faith negotiation. Pursuant to Section 12, above, the Authorized Representative shall be the first and primary forum sought by the Parties to resolve all disputes relating to the terms, conditions, obligations and implementation of this Agreement. Where this Agreement specifically calls for resolution of disputes pursuant to this section, the Parties shall first attempt, in good faith to resolve the dispute by themselves, prior to pursuing dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of Appendix A to this Agreement. In the event that informal dispute resolution fails to resolve any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, either Party is entitled to obtain resolution of the dispute(s) pursuant to the terms of Appendix A. 24 GOVERNING LAW This Agreement shall be interpreted, governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California, as if executed and to be performed within the State of California.

47 (c) No Party shall be obligated to defend, hold harmless or indemnify the other Party, its directors or members of its governing boards, officers and employees for Accidents resulting from the latter’s acts or omissions involving gross negligence or willful misconduct, or on the part of that Party’s employees, agents, or contractors. If a Party is required to enforce this indemnity duty and does so successfully, the Party against which enforcement is required (the Indemnitor) shall also pay all Costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses, incurred in such enforcement. 26 JUDGMENTS AND DETERMINATIONS When the terms of this Agreement provide that an action may or must be taken, or that the existence of a condition may be established based on a judgment or determination of a Party, such judgment shall be exercised or such determination shall be made reasonably and in good faith, and where applicable in accordance with Good Utility Practice, and shall not be arbitrary or capricious. 27 LIABILITY 27.1 To Third Parties Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any duty to, any standard of care with reference to, or any liability to, any Third Party. 27.2 No Consequential, Special or Indirect Damages from Breach In the event of breach of this Agreement, neither Party, nor its directors, members of its governing board, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to the other Party for any consequential, special or indirect damages. 27.3 Protection of a Party's Own Facilities Each Party shall be responsible for taking reasonable measures to protect its facilities and

Page 127 of 224 ends

48 System from possible damage by reason of electrical disturbances or faults caused by the operation, faulty operation, or non-operation of another party’s facilities, and such other Party shall not be liable for any such damage so caused. 27.4 Liability for Interruptions Neither Party shall be liable to the other, and each Party hereby releases the other and its directors, members of its governing board, officers, employees and agents from, and indemnifies them to the fullest extent permitted by law for, any claim, demand, liability, loss or damage, whether direct, indirect or consequential, incurred by either Party, which results from the interruption or curtailment in accordance with i) this Agreement, ii) Good Utility Practice, or (iii) as directed by the applicable Balancing Authority, of power flows through a Point of Interconnection under this Agreement. 28 NO DEDICATION OF FACILITIES Any undertaking by either Party under any provision of this Agreement is rendered strictly as an accommodation and shall not constitute the dedication by the first Party of any part or all of its System to the other, the public, or any Third Party. Any such undertaking by any Party under a provision of, or resulting from, this Agreement shall cease upon the termination of that Party’s obligations under this Agreement. 29 LICENSE TO INSTALL FACILITIES 29.1 General. Due to the interconnected nature of PG&E’s and PPC’s Systems, it may be necessary for one Party to install equipment on the other Party’s property. Either Party (“Licensing Party”), upon reasonable request by the other Party (“Installing Party”), shall provide the Installing Party a license or licenses to construct, install, operate, maintain, inspect, test, read,

Page 128 of 224 ends

49 check, replace and repair, upon the property of the Licensing Party, such facilities as are reasonably necessary for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or for performing any other work incident to rendering the services provided under this Agreement. Said license shall be in form mutually acceptable to the Parties, and (a) shall not require payment of any license fee, except the Installing Party shall reimburse the administrative costs reasonably incurred by the Licensing Party in issuing the license and supervising the Installing Party’s activities under license, and (b) shall be and remain in effect during the term of this Agreement and shall expire coincident therewith. Any facilities installed or constructed by the Installing Party, pursuant to such license or licenses shall be and remain the property of the Installing Party notwithstanding that they may have been affixed to the premises of the Licensing Party. The Installing Party shall have a reasonable time after the expiration of such license or licenses in which to remove the facilities so installed or constructed. 29.2 Requests. If necessary to accommodate its own equipment, the Licensing Party may request that the Installing Party relocate its facilities within the property of the Licensing Party. Under such circumstances, the Licensing Party must designate and provide new space for the relocated facilities within its property, and the Installing Party shall be responsible for reasonable costs to relocate the facilities to the new location. 29.3 Refusal and Other Actions. If the Licensing Party refuses to issue a license or, in the case in which a license has been issued but the Licensing Party has instructed the Installing Party to relocate its facilities without designating and providing a new space for the relocated facilities within its property, the Installing Party, at its discretion may either reconfigure the Point(s) of Interconnection such that

53 under Sections 205 and 206 of the FPA or the regulations promulgated thereunder. The term “rates” as used herein shall mean a statement of rates and charges for or in connection with the services provided for in this Agreement, and all classifications, practices, rules or regulations that in any manner affect or relate to such, rates and charges. PG&E may unilaterally make application to FERC for a change in rates, including rate methodology and the terms and conditions of service, under Section 205 of the FPA and pursuant to FERC’s rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Either Party may seek changes to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 206 of the FPA.

54 Agreement or requirements of the Balancing Authority (or Balancing Authorities); provided, that any such procedure, rule, or regulation shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. If a Party objects to a procedure, rule, or regulation proposed by the other Party, it will notify the other Party and the Parties will endeavor to modify the procedure, rule, or regulation in order to resolve the objection. No such procedure, rule or regulation shall be adopted absent the mutual written consent of the Parties. 36 SEVERABILITY If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or its application is held to be invalid as to any person, entity or circumstance, by FERC or any other regulatory body, or agency or court of competent jurisdiction, then only such term, covenant or condition shall cease to have force and effect to the extent of that holding. In that event, however, all other terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and their application shall not be affected thereby, but shall remain in full force and effect unless and to the extent that a regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction finds that a provision is not separable from the invalid provision(s) of this Agreement. 37 WAIVER OF RIGHTS Any waiver at any time by any Party of its rights with respect to a default under the Agreement, or with respect to any other matter arising in connection with the Agreement, shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver with respect to any subsequent default or other matter arising in connection with the Agreement.

APPENDIX A DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION A.1 NEGOTIATION AND MEDIATION As provided in Section 23, upon the failure of the Parties to resolve disputes between themselves pursuant to that Section, the Parties agree to seek resolution of any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement by good faith negotiation before resorting to other methods of dispute resolution. In the event that negotiations between the Parties have failed, but before initiating arbitration proceedings under this Appendix A, the Parties may, by mutual assent, decide to seek resolution of a dispute through mediation. If this occurs, the Parties shall meet and confer to establish an appropriate timetable for mediation, to pick a mediator, and to decide on any other terms and conditions that will govern the mediation. If, after forty-five (45) calendar days from the date the Parties first met and conferred, the Parties are unable to select a mediator, mediation date and to establish the terms and conditions controlling the mediation, or if a mediation conducted between the Parties fails to resolve the dispute(s), either or both of the Parties may seek arbitration by providing notice to the other Party. If neither Party seeks arbitration within the time period specified in the immediately preceding sentence, then each Party may resort to whatever right or remedy is available under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, to resolve the dispute. A.2 TECHNICAL ARBITRATION The Parties agree to seek expedited resolution of arbitrable disputes arising under this Agreement that are technical in nature. Technical disputes may include, without limitation, disputes centered on engineering issues involving technical planning studies, the need for and cost of certain facilities, and the capacity of a Point(s) of Interconnection. Such technical issues

Page 139 of 224 ends

A-2
may be resolved through expert application of established technical knowledge and by reference to Good Utility Practice and industry standards. The Party initiating arbitration pursuant to Section A.3 below shall indicate in its notice to the other Party whether it regards the dispute to be technical in nature. If both Parties agree that a dispute is technical in nature, then the Parties shall meet and confer to develop an appropriate timetable and process for expedited resolution of the dispute by a neutral expert, or “technical arbitrator”. If the Parties cannot agree that a dispute is technical in nature, or if they cannot agree on a neutral arbitrator, then either Party may submit the dispute to arbitration under the procedures set forth in Appendix A, Section 3 below. A.3 ARBITRATION A.3.1 Notices And Selection Of Arbitrators In the event that a matter or issue is subject to arbitration under Section 23 and this Appendix, an aggrieved Party shall initiate arbitration by sending written notice (“Notice”) to the other Party. Such Notice shall identify the name and address of an impartial person to act as an arbitrator for the dispute. If either Party takes the position that the dispute is not arbitrable, either Party shall take the dispute to FERC for resolution. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Notice, the other Party shall, if it agrees that the dispute is properly arbitrable, provide the aggrieved Party with a written notice (“Second Notice”) stating the name and address of a second impartial person to act as an arbitrator of the dispute. If the same name or names appear on both lists, the two named arbitrators shall appoint one of the persons named on both lists as the third arbitrator. If no name appears on both lists, the two named arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator from either list, or independently of either list. In any event, the two named arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator within twenty-one (21) calendar days of receipt of the lists provided

Page 140 of 224 ends

A-3
by each of the Parties. Each arbitrator selected under these procedures shall be a person experienced in the construction, design, operation or regulation of electric power transmission or distribution facilities, as applicable to the issue(s) in dispute. A.3.2 Procedures Within fifteen (15) Business Days after appointment of the third arbitrator, or on such other date to which the Parties may agree in writing, the arbitrators shall meet with the Parties, either in person or telephonically, to consider and to determine the procedures that are to be followed in conducting the arbitration, including, without limitation, such procedures as may be necessary for the taking of discovery, giving testimony and submission of written arguments and briefs to the arbitrators. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in writing, the arbitrators shall determine and disclose within five (5) Business Days of such meeting the arbitration procedures and schedule, based upon the purpose of the Parties in conducting arbitration under Section 23 and this Appendix A of this Agreement, specifically, for the purpose of utilizing the least burdensome, least expensive and most expeditious dispute resolution procedures consistent with providing each Party with a fair and reasonable opportunity to be heard. If the arbitrators are unable unanimously to agree to the procedures and schedule to be used in the arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. A.3.3 Hearing, Decision and Rights of Appeal After giving the Parties due notice of hearing and a reasonable opportunity to be heard, the arbitrators shall hear the dispute(s) submitted for arbitration and shall render their decision with ninety (90) calendar days after appointment of the third arbitrator or such other date selected upon the mutual agreement of the Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an

Page 141 of 224 ends

A-4
alternative date, the arbitrators’ proposed schedule will control. The arbitrators’ final decision shall be made in writing and signed by no less than two of the three arbitrators. The arbitrators’ decision shall be final and binding upon the Parties subject to their rights to appeal the decision to FERC or any court of competent jurisdiction as permitted by California law, particularly the California Arbitration Act (CAA). Judgment may be entered on the decision in any court of competent jurisdiction or, if appropriate, at FERC upon the application of either Party. A.3.4 Expenses Both Parties shall share the cost of the arbitration process equally up to and including the arbitration hearing, although any costs, fees and expenses associated with any Party’s attorney(s), witness(es) or specialist(s) are the direct responsibility of that Party. As part of the arbitrators’ final decision, the arbitrators must determine which Party prevailed in the arbitration and must allocate the fees and costs of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrators, along with reasonable attorney’s fees and other reasonable costs and expenses, to the prevailing Party.

APPENDIX B The purpose of this Appendix B is to: (a) describe the Points of Interconnection and Points of Change of Ownership applicable to the Interconnection; (b) describe various Interconnection Facilities, including the Direct Assignment Facilities and Reliability Upgrades, to be constructed by the Parties; (c) describe the respective scopes of work, time-line and suspension rights with regard to the construction of the specified Interconnection Facilities; and (d) describe, in lieu of a separate Transmission Facilities Agreement between PG&E and PPC, the payment obligations and timing with regard to the specified Interconnection Facilities. The material set forth in this Appendix B is based on the Facility Study Report prepared by PG&E and dated November 4, 2024 (the “FAS”). A. POINTS OF INTERCONNECTION AND POINTS OF CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP 1. POINTS OF INTERCONNECTION (POIs): The POIs shall be located in the PG&E Switchyard (defined below) to be owned by PG&E and specifically on the GIS Breaker-And-A-Half (BAAH) Bus, one on each Bay, where the Load-Tie Lines (defined below) connect with the respective GIS Bus. The POIs are designated in the single-line diagram presented below as Figure 1. 2. POINTS OF CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP (PCOs): The PCOs shall be located where the Load-Tie Lines terminate at the dead-end structures installed at the PPC Substation (defined below) to be owned by PPC. The PG&E-owned facility (the PG&E Switchyard) and PPC-owned facility (the PPC Substation) should be fenced separately with access gates and roadways. The PCOs are designated in the single-line diagram presented below as Figure 1.

Ownership B. DESCRIPTION OF INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES 1. Background PPC plans to provide retail electric service to a new commercial facility in Pittsburg, CA (the “Tech Park Project”). The Tech Park Project site is to be located approximately 2 miles south of PG&E’s Pittsburg Power Plant Substation on Golf Club Drive, south of Highway 4 in Pittsburg, CA. To electrically interconnect and serve the Tech Park Project, PPC submitted an Interconnection application to PG&E requesting that the Tech Park Project be served by PPC from PG&E’s neighboring 230 kV PG&E transmission lines. PPC anticipates an ultimate peak demand of 99 MW for the Tech Park Project by January 2029, with a power factor of 0.976 lagging or better. The Interconnection of the Tech Park Project requires the construction of various Interconnection Facilities under this Agreement, as set forth below. The Interconnection Facilities and scope described in this Appendix B are based on conceptual, preliminary engineering and design set forth in the FAS. Such descriptions are subject to modification to reflect the actual facilities constructed and installed following PG&E’s final approval on engineering and design, complete identification and evaluation of field conditions, and compliance with applicable environmental and permitting requirements.
