PREVIOUS RELATED ACTION:
On October 17, 2022, City Council approved Resolution 2022-193 to file the Integrated Resource Plan to the CPUC.
DISCUSSION:
To ensure energy providers are meeting standards set forth in SB350 and subsequent legislation updates on clean energy requirements, a Plan is required to be developed and filed with the CPUC every two years. The new legislation includes the following:
SB100 – established a goal of 60% renewable energy by 2030, and 100% clean electricity by 2045; SB1020 – added binding interim milestones of 9-% clean electricity by 2035 and 95% by 2040; and AB1279 - which codified the 2045 statewide carbon neutrality goal.
The CPUC subsequently consolidated its planning cycle and did not require individual load serving entity filings until 2026. The Plan was consolidated into a 2024-2026 cycle and is a 10-year forward-looking procurement plan and establishes a program for Pomona Choice Energy’s procurement activities that meet California’s Renewables Portfolio Standards and greenhouse gas emission targets. The Plan does not commit Pomona Choice to specific transactions. The Plan identifies Pomona Choice’s Preferred Conforming Portfolio demonstrating its proportional share of California’s greenhouse gas reduction targets of 8 million metric tons by 2045.
A complete copy of the Plan will be on file in the Water Resources Department and posted on Pomona Choice Energy website.
At this juncture, staff is seeking approval to submit Plan to the CPUC by August 10, 2026.
