Subject:
2025 Power Source Disclosure ("PSD") Program Annual Report Recommendation:
That the Honorable City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-081, approving and attesting to the veracity of the 2025 Power Source Disclosure Program Annual Report submitted to the California Energy Commission.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
Strategic Plan:
This item reflects Goal F: Communication and Outreach. The Power Source Disclosure program provides consumers with information regarding the sources of energy purchased by their retail suppliers in order to power their businesses.
Background:
In 1997, the California Legislature adopted Senate Bill (“SB”) 1305, adding Article 5, entitled “Electricity Generation Source Disclosure,” (“Article 5”) to the California Code of Regulations. Under state law (Public Utilities Code Sections 398.4 and 398.5), retail suppliers of electricity must annually: (1) disclose to their end use customers the electricity sources for their sales to those customers in the form of a Power Content Label (”PCL”); and (2) report this same information, together with supporting documentation in verified form, to the California Energy Commission (“CEC”), in the form of a PSD Annual Report (“PSD Report”).
In 2017, the CEC regulations implemented by SB 1305 was amended by Assembly Bill 162, that included a provision that requires utilities to engage a certified public accountant to verify data reported in the PSD Report. The regulations include an exemption from the audit requirements for publicly owned electric utilities if the governing board of the utility, 2 1

at a public meeting, approves and attests to the veracity of the data contained in the PSD Report and PCL. In a June 2025 rulemaking, the CEC further clarified that the utility’s governing board is only required to attest to the veracity of the data in the PSD Report, not the PCL, as the PCL is created based on the PSD Report.
Discussion:
VMUS submitted the City of Victorville’s 2025 PSD Program Report to the CEC on May 26, 2026, inclusive of the staff attestation. The 2025 PCL will be posted on the City’s website in accordance with the CEC regulations. The attached resolution approves the annual PSD Report submission and provides the attestation to the veracity of the PSD Report as required for exemption from the third-party audit requirement. Adoption of Resolution No. 26-081 will enable the City to comply with the CEC regulation implemented by SB 1305.
