FROM: Barbara Boswell, Interim Chief Executive Officer
ITEM 2: Clean Energy Alliance Operational, Administrative and Regulatory Affairs Update
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Receive and File Community Choice Aggregation Update Report from Interim CEO.
2) Receive Community Choice Aggregation Regulatory Affairs Report from Special Counsel.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
This report provides an update to the Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) Board regarding the status of the
operational, administrative and regulatory affairs activities.
OPERATIONAL UPDATE
CEA is meeting its milestones for the implementation of its community choice aggregation (CCA)
program and is on track to begin serving customers in May 2021/June 2021. (Attachment A - Clean
Energy Alliance Timeline of Implementation Action Items).
Interim Board Clerk Recruitment
CEA Launch Schedule
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has been working over the past several years on their Customer
Information System replacement program, known as Envision. They had committed to, and were on
track, for a January 4, 2021 go live, despite the challenges of working remote in the COVID-19
environment. With a January 2021 go live, SDG&E committed to supporting the CEA launch of May
2021. On Friday July 10, CEA staff, its regulatory attorney Ty Tosdal and data manager Calpine Energy
Solutions participated in a call with San Diego Community Power and SDG&E regarding the recently
approved California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decision D. 20-06-003, which requires the
Investor Owned Utilities (IOU) to adopt rules and policy changes designed to reduce the number of
residential disconnections, provide assistance with debt forgiveness and offer extended payment plans.
The decision is required to be implemented by the IOUs April 2021. This timing has presented a
challenge to SDG&E to keep its go live date of January 4, 2021 while also meeting the requirements of
the decision. SDG&E submitted a letter to the CPUC requesting an extension to September 30, 2021 for
implementing the new procedures and policies required by the decision. This request was denied by the
CPUC, resulting in SDG&E postponing implementation of its Envision project to April 2021.
CEA and its consultants have been working diligently with SDG&E to develop a launch schedule that
minimized impact to CEA while also minimizing the risk of incorrect bills being sent to customers.
SDG&E has proposed a two-phased schedule with accounts transitioning to CEA in May and June 2021.
May 2021 Phase 1 would include the transition of Solana Energy Alliance customers to CEA as well as
customers who do not have complex billing plans in Carlsbad and Del Mar. Those customers who have
been identified with complex billing plans would transition in June 2021. CEA is working with its

consultants, Pacific Energy Advisors and Calpine Energy Solutions to evaluate the impact of this two-
phased approach from an operational and financial perspective. Preliminary analysis indicates that the
proposed phasing does not have a material impact from a financial perspective. Staff anticipates
providing the Board with an updated pro forma reflecting this new phased approach, as well as updated
rates related to the SDG&E ERRA Rate Proceeding at the November Board meeting.
Once the final launch schedule has been agreed to by both CEA and SDG&E several regulatory actions
would need to be taken, including providing proper notification to the CPUC Energy.
Expansion of Clean Energy Alliance
Staff has no update regarding CEA expansion.
Regulatory Compliance Filings
The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) provides the CPUC with CEA's 10-year projected electricity load as
part of the integrated resource planning process to ensure that California's electric sector meets its GHG
reduction goals while maintaining reliability at the lowest possible costs. Although the IRP was originally
due in April 2020, its due date has been extended to September 2020. The IRP was submitted
September 1, 2020.
Long-Term Renewable Procurement
As a load serving entity, CEA will be required to procure 65% of its minimum state required renewable
portfolio standards in contracts of 10-years or longer. To ensure compliance with this requirement,
CEA's initial renewable energy solicitation is underway. The solicitation process, from beginning through
final execution can be lengthy, particularly in light of the impacts of COVID-19 on the renewable
development industry. The solicitation opened on July 1, 2020 with proposals due July 27, 2020. CEA's
consultant, Pacific Energy Advisors, has been evaluating the responses to identify a short list of projects
to move forward with negotiations. It is anticipated final contracts will be before the Board in late
2020/early 2021.
Administrative and Operational Policies
During the coming months as CEA prepares for its implementation and operation, policies will be
brought to the Board for consideration in future Board meetings. The policies as proposed will be based
on Government Code or regulatory requirements and best practices of successfully operational CCAs.
The policies and timeline as currently anticipated are:
October 15 Board Meeting
• Energy Risk Management Policy Introduction
• Records Retention Policy
November 19 Board Meeting
• Energy Risk Management Policy Approval
January 21 Board Meeting
• Investment Policy

ENERGY REGULATORY UPDATE
To: Barbara Boswell, CEO, Clean Energy Alliance
From: Ty Tosdal, Regulatory Counsel, Tosdal APC
Re: Energy Regulatory Update
Date: September 11, 2020
The energy regulatory update summarizes important decisions, orders, notices and
other developments that have occurred at the California Public Utilities Commission
("Commission") and that may affect Clean Energy Alliance ("CEA"). The summary presented
here describes high priority developments and is not an exhaustive list of the regulatory
proceedings that are currently being monitored or the subject of active engagement by CEA. In
addition to the proceedings discussed below, Tosdal APC monitors a number of other regulatory
proceedings as well as related activity by San Diego Gas & Electric ("SDG&E") and other
Investor-Owned Utilities ("IOUs").
1. SDG&E Advice Letter 3602-E_2902-G (Arrearage Management Plan)
SDG&E issued Advice Letter ("AL") 3602-E_2902-G on September 9, 2020, and it
provides a detailed description of an Arrearage Management Plan ("AMP") that is designed to
protect customers at risk of disconnection for failure to make payments. IOUs are required to
adopt an AMP plan as a result of the disconnections decision that the Commission adopted
earlier this year, D. 20-06-003. CalCCA and several individual CCA programs were involved in a
workshop and negotiations with the IOUs regarding implementation prior to the issuance of the
advice letter.
SDG&E plans to track and recover all customer debt forgiven through the AMP
program—including CCA customer debt related to commodity costs—and recover that debt on
behalf of both the IOUs and the CCAs through the utilities' Public Purpose Program ("PPP")
charge. This will include all debt forgiven through the AMP Plan for both bundled and unbundled
customers, including CCA commodity-related debt forgiven. Notably, the collection and
allocation payment method will apply only to CARE/FERA customers through the AMP program.
As a result, SDG&E's Rule 27 will remain unchanged and at the conclusion of the COVID-19
measures in April 2021, SDG&E will continue to follow the payment allocation method outlined
in Rule 27.
Please note that forgiveness of debt or arrea rages for CCA customers will require
that a CCA program notify the utility and participate in the AMP program For unbundled
customers to have CCA charges forgiven in the AMP Plan, the CCA must elect to participate in
the AMP Plan. If the CCA does not elect to participate, SDG&E may only forgive the utility

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
charges through its AMP. Therefore, SDG&E requests that participating CCAs provide SDG&E
reasonable notice that the CCA is electing to participate in the AMP.
Pursuant to direction from the Energy Division that the AMP program be implemented
before April 2021, SDG&E is proposing to implement its AMP program within 90 days of the
Energy Division's letter, dated August 13, 2020, or no later than November 11, 2020, or within
45 days after approval of the advice letter, which could be November 12, 2020 at the earliest.
Protests are due within 20 days of the advice letter being issued or no later than
September 29, 2020.
2. SDG&E PCIA Trigger Application (A.20-07-009)
The Commission held a Prehearing Conference ("PHC") on August 27, 2020, where the
relevant issues and schedule for the proceeding were discussed, as well as a motion to compel
production of confidential documents. Given the current status of the proceeding, it is possible
but unlikely that the $8.92 million balance in the PCIA trigger account will be collected this year,
and more likely that it will be amortized over a longer period of time. A longer amortization
schedule will reduce monthly rate shock by spreading recovery of the balance over a longer
period of time. The next steps in the proceeding are the issuance of a scoping memo and a
ruling on the motion.
Related, at a recent Public Utilities Commission meeting, Commissioner Guzman
Aceves mentioned that the PCIA cap and trigger mechanism that is currently in place
may need to be revisited No decision initiating a new proceeding or other action has been
taken. IOU representatives have also made suggestions at various times to eliminate the cap
and trigger mechanism. The proposed change would have major implications for CEA and
other CCA programs. Further analysis and review are necessary to determine the impacts.
3. SDG&E ERRA Forecast Proceeding (A.20-04-014)
CEA's counsel on the SDG&E ERRA Forecast have been working diligently to enter
documents into the record regarding SDG&E's accounting, rate methodologies and related
matters. The consultant, NewGen Strategies, has been contributing significantly to the effort.
The next major step in the proceeding is briefing, and briefs are due on September 25, 2020.

ADVICE LETTER 3602-E / 2902-G
(U902-M)
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SUBJECT: Implementation of San Diego Gas & Electric Company's Arrearage
Management Payment (AMP) Plan in Compliance with 0.20-06-003
San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) hereby submits this filing to the California Public
Utilities Commission (Commission) for approval of modifications to its electric and gas tariffs as
shown in Attachments A and B.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Advice Letter (AL) is to comply with Ordering Paragraphs (OP) 83 and 87 of
Decision (D.) 20-06-003 (Decision), issued on June 16, 2020, as follows:
1) Pursuant to OP 83, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison
Company, Southern California Gas Company and SDG&E, collectively (IOUs) must each
file a Tier 2 AL within 90 days of this decision to implement their Arrearage Management
Payment (AMP) plan for California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) and Family Electric
Rate Assistance (FERA) residential customers.
2) Pursuant to OP 87, the IOUs shall, in the Tier 2 AL implementing the AMP Plan, propose a
resolution to address California Community Choice Association's (CalCCA) concern related
to the allocation of proportional debt recovery.
BACKGROUND
On September 28, 2017, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 598 into law. Among other
things, SB 598 requires the Commission to develop rules, policies or regulations with a goal of
reducing the statewide disconnection rate of gas and electric utility customers by January 1,
2024.
On December 13, 2018, the Commission adopted the interim rules in D.18-12-013, which set
forth various emergency interim measures to reduce the number of residential customer
disconnections and to improve the reconnection processes for disconnected customers.
On April 16, 2020, in response to the novel Coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19, the Commission
issued Resolution M-4842, directing the utilities to implement applicable Emergency Customer
Sept. 17, 2020 Item #2 Page 7 of 32
Public Utilities Commission 2 September 9, 2020
Protections through April 16, 2021. The Emergency Customer Protections include a
disconnection moratorium for all residential and small business customers. Additionally,
SDG&E proposed a temporary pro-rata allocation method for partial payments from CCA
customers through April 16, 2021. At the conclusion of the Emergency Customer Protections,
SDG&E will revert to the CCA payment allocation method described in its tariffs.
Pursuant to SB 598, on June 11, 2020, the Commission issued D.20-06-003, the Phase 1
Decision adopting rules and policy changes designed to reduce the number of residential
customer disconnections for the Investor Owned Utilities. This Decision, among other things,
adopts and makes permanent with modifications the Interim Rules Decision and provides
additional customer protections. The Decision also establishes the creation of Arrearage
Management Payment (AMP) plans administered by the IOUs (AMP program). Through the
AMP program, the IOUs are directed to forgive up to $8,000 of eligible customers' outstanding
arrearages as they make on-time monthly payments over the course of 12 months. D.20-06-
003 directs the creation of an AMP Working Group comprised of the IOUs, Energy Division,
TURN, CCAs and interested parties to discuss details and to reach consensus on the rollout of
their proposed AMP plans. The IOUs were further directed to address CalCCA's concerns
regarding allocation and recovery of forgiven AMP arrearages for CCA customers during the
working group process.
The Decision directs the IOUs to file a Tier 2 advice letter within 90 days of the Decision
implementing the AMP and proposing a resolution to address allocation and recovery of CCA
AMP-related debt forgiveness. This Advice Letter complies with OP 83 to establish an AMP
Plan and OP 87 to propose a resolution to address CCA recovery of customer debt forgiven
through the AMP.
AMP IMPLEMENTATION
Timing of Implementation
As a result of the ongoing discussions with the working group, on August 13, 2020, Energy
Division issued a letter stating its interpretation that, despite the ongoing COVID-19 Emergency
Customer Protections through April 16, 2021, the Decision required implementation of the AMP
prior to the end of the Customer Protections period. Energy Division strongly encouraged the
IOUs to develop and propose a 2020 AMP implementation date. Pursuant to Energy Division's
letter, SDG&E is proposing to implement AMP on the latter of 1) 90 days post-Energy Division's
letter dated August 13, 2020, or 2) 45 days after approval of this Advice Letter. This
implementation timing permits SDG&E to implement the AMP consistent with Energy Division's
direction, and to make any necessary operational changes as directed by Energy Division after
Advice Letter approval.
Manual Implementation
As discussed in the working group process, SDG&E is in the process of deploying its new
Customer Information System (CIS),1 scheduled to go online in April 2021. The new CIS is a
comprehensive system replacement to improve and support SDG&E's critical business
' SDG&E applied for authority to replace its legacy CIS system in A.17-04-027. The CIS replacement was
approved by the Commission in August 2018 in D.18-08-008.
Sept. 17, 2020 Item #2 Page 8 of 32
Public Utilities Commission 3 September 9, 2020
processes and customer engagement functions, and is the product of over three years of effort
by SDG&E employees and contractors. At this stage, the CIS replacement requires a system
freeze of SDG&E's legacy billing system until the new CIS goes live next year. The system
freeze is required to ensure a stable transition and minimize overall risk and customer impact,
as SDG&E transitions from its legacy system to the new CIS. Because of the system freeze
through April 2021, to implement AMP prior to the CIS "go-live," SDG&E will implement AMP on
an entirely manual basis. This will require additional resources, AMP specialists, and lead to
additional costs. It is unknown to SDG&E at this time how many customers will sign up for
AMP, however, SDG&E currently estimates that approximately 20,000 to 25,000 customer
accounts in SDG&E's service territory could be eligible for AMP. The additional program
resources for the manual implementation will perform eligibility checks, customer education,
calculation and processing of debt forgiveness, processing of monthly acknowledgement
correspondence, tracking, and overall program management. AMP specialists will also be
responsible for providing on-going support to customers during the AMP program. Due to the
manual nature of this process, there will be some limitations to implement the AMP program in
2020. For example, SDG&E is unable to make changes to customer bills at this time, therefore,
the bill for an AMP enrolled customer account may not identify AMP until after the new CIS is
deployed. Further, all reporting will be done manually through spreadsheets. Reporting is
described further below.
AMP Criteria
Per D.20-06-003, the AMP Plan is a debt forgiveness payment plan option available to assist
eligible CARE and FERA residential customers who meet specific eligibility criteria as described
below. Upon customer enrollment in the AMP, 1/12th of a specific outstanding balance will be
forgiven after the customer makes each on-time monthly payment of their current charges.
1. AMP Plan Eligibility and Enrollment Criteria
The AMP Plan is available to an individually metered, bundled and unbundled residential
customer account that is currently enrolled in CARE and/or FERA (Eligible Customer).
An Eligible Customer may elect to participate in the AMP Plan if they meet the following
conditions:
a. The Eligible Customer has past due arrearages greater than $500 for electric and
$250 for gas only customers;
b. The Eligible Customer has an arrearage at least 90 days of age or older; and,
c. An Eligible Customer must be a customer of the utility for at least 6 months, and
have made at least one (1) full on-time payment of that months' current charges by
that month's payment due date within the last 24 months.2
2. AMP Plan Forgiveness
a. Once an Eligible Customer is enrolled in the AMP Plan (AMP Participant), 1/12 of the
AMP Participant's debt will be forgiven, up to a maximum of $8,000 (AMP Amount)
per AMP, after each on-time payment of the current month's charges.
2 When SDG&E transitions to the new CIS in April 2021, SDG&E will waive this requirement until 24
months' worth of customer payment data is available in its new CIS. The new CIS is converting 13
months of historical data at the time of deployment in April 2021.
Sept. 17, 2020 Item #2 Page 9 of 32
Public Utilities Commission 4 September 9, 2020
b. After twelve on-time payments of the current month's charges, the AMP Participant's
AMP Amount debt will be forgiven. This is considered successful completion of the
AMP Plan.
a. After successful completion of the AMP Plan, any remaining arrearage (in
excess of the $8,000 forgiven per AMP) is owed to the utility and may be
eligible for a payment plan.
c. Any payment received, including Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
(LIHEAP) pledge payments, shall be applied towards the AMP Participant's current
bill only and will not be applied to any AMP Arrearage Amount. If a payment is
received in excess of current month's charges, the excess will be applied to future
charges.
d. An AMP Participant will receive an acknowledgment of on-time payment received at
three (3), six (6), and nine (9) months of participation in the AMP Plan.
e. An AMP Participant can miss up to two non-sequential payments if the customer
makes up the payment on the next billing due date with an on-time full payment of
both the current and missed payments.
f. An AMP Participant who misses two sequential payments shall be removed from the
AMP Plan. An AMP Participant removed from the AMP Plan may re-enroll after
completing a 12-month waiting period, which begins the first month after the eligible
customer drops out of the AMP. Re-enrolling in the AMP Plan requires an Eligible
Customer to meet AMP Plan Eligibility and Enrollment Criteria. If an AMP Participant
is removed from the AMP Plan, the remaining arrearage will be owed to the utility
and may be eligible for a payment plan.
An AMP Participant, who drops out of the AMP Plan, may re-enroll after completing a
12-month waiting period, which begins the month after dropping out from the AMP
Plan. Re-enrolling in the AMP Plan requires an Eligible Customer to meet AMP Plan
Eligibility and Enrollment Criteria. If an AMP Participant drops out from the AMP
Plan, the remaining arrearage will be owed to the utility and may be eligible for a
payment plan.
h. An AMP Participant, who successfully completes the AMP Plan, may re-enroll after
completing a 12-month waiting period, which begins the month after successful
completion of the AMP Plan. Re-enrolling in the AMP Plan requires an Eligible
Customer to meet AMP Plan Eligibility and Enrollment Criteria.
i. All bundled charges forgiven will be recorded to the residential uncollectible
balancing account (RU BA).
California Hub for Energy Efficiency Financing (CHEEF) and On Bill Financing (OBF)
charges will not be eligible for forgiveness in the AMP Plan.
k. To make current monthly charges more predictable, an AMP Participant can request
to participate in LPP while participating in the AMP Plan.
Pursuant to OP 5, SDG&E will provide annual AMP reporting related to OPs 70-82 of D.20-06-
003 beginning in 2022.

Public Utilities Commission 5 September 9, 2020
Proposed Marketing and Customer Outreach
Pursuant to Resolution M-4842, SDG&E will continue the disconnection moratorium for
residential and small business customers through April 16, 2021. SDG&E will take the following
initial steps to provide outreach efforts to enroll eligible customers in the AMP Program.3
In order to help customers avoid disconnection and manage unpaid arrearages, SDG&E plans
to reach customers in a variety of channels.
At program inception, to ensure information is available and easy to find, AMP requirements,
benefits, and FAQ's will be posted on SDG&E's website on relevant assistance pages.
Additionally, a communication will be sent to current CARE/FERA customers, to provide
awareness of the AMP program and their eligibility. Customers will be directed to call the
Customer Care Center (CCC) to speak with an Energy Service Specialist (ESS) with questions
and help to enroll, as needed.
Prior to the conclusion of the disconnection moratorium, collection notices will be updated to
include general information about AMP benefits and requirements. Current marketing and
outreach efforts to eligible CARE/FERA customers will be reviewed to determine where
secondary AMP messaging can be included to help raise awareness for at-risk customers. As
space permits, secondary messaging about AMP and payment arrangements will be promoted
through communication channels such as printed material, email and the SDG&E bill package,
as well as through social media channels.
Relevant AMP information will be also provided to community partners and CBOs that serve the
most at-risk customers to help communicate program benefits and requirements. As trusted
partners to vulnerable populations, these organizations are well positioned to help describe the
program in terms that the customers will understand, especially for non-English speaking
customers or members of the community who speak English as a second language. AMP
enrollment materials will be also be available in multiple languages, as required.
In early 2021 SDG&E will send an outreach communication to residential customers informing
them that Emergency Customer Protections are ending and explaining their options for 'financial
assistance, including AMP.
IOU's Response to CalCCA's Proposed Cost Recovery/Allocation Solutions (OP 87):
0.20-06-003 directs the IOUs to offer AMP plans for all eligible CARE/FERA customers, and to
forgive those customers arrearages upon receiving on-time payments. CalCCA actively
participated in the Rulemaking to address the impacts of the new disconnection policies, rules,
and procedures, including AMP, on the CCAs. To address the potential impact on CCA
uncollectibles for CCAs that choose to participate in AMP, the Commission directed the IOUs to
address the issues of concern related to proportional recovery raised by CalCCA during the
working group and propose a resolution in this Advice Letter. During the working group
3 Distribution of marketing and outreach materials will coincide with the AMP implementation date.
Pursuant to Energy Division's letter, SDG&E is proposing to implement AMP on the later of 1) 90 days
post-Energy Division's letter dated August 13, 2020, or 2) 45 days after approval of this Advice Letter.
Sept. 17, 2020 Item #2 Page 11 of 32
Public Utilities Commission 6 September 9, 2020
process, CalCCA proposed options to address the impacts of AMP debt forgiveness on CCAs
who opt to participate in the program. CalCCA's "Option A" proposed that the IOUs track all
customer debt forgiven through the AMP program—including CCA customer debt related to
commodity costs—and recover that debt on behalf of both the IOUs and the CCAs through the
utilities' Public Purpose Program (PPP) charge. SDG&E agrees with CalCCA's "Option A" and
proposes to track all debt forgiven through the AMP Plan for both bundled and unbundled
customers, including CCA commodity-related debt forgiven. SDG&E further proposes to
recover the forgiven debt through the utility's PPP charge, including the commodity-related CCA
charges to its participating CCAs.4 This collection and payment allocation method will apply only
to debt forgiven for eligible CARE/FERA customers through the AMP program. Therefore,
SDG&E's Rule 27 will not change, and at the conclusion of the COVID-19 Emergency Customer
Protections, SDG&E will continue to follow the payment allocation method outlined in Rule 27.
SDG&E's proposed utility charge recovery of AMP costs is consistent with the public purpose
nature of the AMP Program. D.20-06-003 establishes AMP as a social program to address
those most in need, specifically low-income customers enrolled in CARE/FERA. SDG&E's
proposed cost recovery through the PPP charge is similar to SDG&E's CARE/FERA discount
program, which is also recovered via the PPP. SDG&E proposes to recover AMP costs via PPP
from all customers on an equal cent per kilowatt hour charge based on authorized sales.
SDG&E's proposed "Option A" recovery method resolves the cost recovery issue addressed by
CalCCA and it facilitates CCA participation in the AMP program.
Absent express notice of a CCA's decision to participate in the AMP Plan, SDG&E does not
have the authority or ability to forgive the commodity-related arrearages of CCA customers.
Therefore, for unbundled customers to have CCA charges forgiven in the AMP Plan, the CCA
must elect to participate in the AMP Plan. If the CCA does not elect to participate, SDG&E may
only forgive the utility charges through its AMP. Therefore, SDG&E requests that participating
CCA's provide SDG&E reasonable notice that the CCA is electing to participate in the AMP. To
that end, SDG&E proposes a 45 day notice period from participating CCAs, after which CCA
customers would be eligible for forgiveness of commodity-related costs through the AMP. If a
CCA subsequently chooses to discontinue the AMP Plan for commodity costs, SDG&E
proposes a 60 day notice period, after which CCA customers enrolling in AMP will not be
considered eligible for forgiveness of CCA commodity costs. Additionally, if a CCA decides to
discontinue the AMP Plan, any CCA customers already enrolled in the AMP program will remain
eligible for the full AMP Amount debt forgiveness of both utility and CCA commodity debts.
SDG&E believes it is reasonable for the customers who have relied on the AMP Plan and
remain in good standing to continue forgiveness of debt, mid-program, if the CCA decides to
terminate the program early. CCA customers enrolled in AMP after a CCA elects not to
participate in the AMP program will remain eligible for forgiveness of utility arrearages.
SDG&E proposes that the same processes regarding AMP availability, election to participate,
the noticing periods, and cost recovery through PPP, apply for load serving entities (LSEs) for
whom SDG&E provides unbundled customer billing for non-commodity utility related charges.
4 SDG&E is proposing the aforementioned method to address recovery of CCA debt forgiven through
AMP pursuant to OP 87 of D.20-06-003. Consistent with OP 98 and Commission General Order 96-B,
Section 5.1(1), SDG&E submits that submission of this proposal is merited through a Tier 2 advice letter.
However, given the rate impacts associated with the proposal, the Option A proposal may require
approval through a Commission Resolution.
Sept. 17, 2020 Item #2 Page 12 of 32
Public Utilities Commission 7 September 9, 2020
Consistent with this proposal, and pursuant to OP 91 of D.20-06-003, SDG&E will propose the
aforementioned cost recovery regarding AMP uncollectibles in a separate Tier 2 AL establishing
SDG&E's residential uncollectible balancing account (RUBA), as required by D.20-06-003.
Response to CCA Requests For Additional Data Sharing
On Friday, August 28, 2020, at the 4th AMP Working Group, CalCCA requested additional
reporting from the IOUs.
SDG&E does not intend to deviate from any of the reports currently provided to its CCAs. The
Decision does not specifically require the IOUs to provide this account-specific data or reporting
to the CCAs on an ongoing basis, however, SDG&E will work with our CCAs to provide data
that they feel they need to successfully facilitate eligible customers into AMP and provide
customers with ongoing support. As previously noted, SDG&E is undergoing a generational
upgrade to its CIS system, so much of the data requested by CalCCA would have to be
provided on a manual basis until the new CIS is operational. The manual nature of the work
limits SDG&E's ability to provide certain information on the timeframes requested. SDG&E is
unable to provide the AMP-related reporting requested by CalCCA on a weekly basis. SDG&E
is looking into whether it could provide reporting on a monthly basis after the CIS replacement.
SDG&E further notes that its two Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs) are not scheduled to begin
service until mid-2021. SDG&E will work with its current CCA, Solana Energy Alliance, to
accommodate data requests prior to implementation of the new CIS system.
Net Energy Metering (NEM) Customers
During the 4th AMP Working Group, the parties agreed that AMP eligibility and treatment for all
NEM customers5 would be deferred until a later date. Thus, SDG&E does not have a proposal
at this time.

For unbundled customers to have CCA charges forgiven in the AMP Plan, the CCA has
to elect to participate to the AMP Plan and provide SDG&E reasonable notice. Within 45
days of SDG&E receiving notice that the CCA has opted into the AMP Plan, SDG&E will
consider the CCA customers commodity-related charges eligible for forgiveness through
the AMP Plan. If the CCA does not elect to participate, only utility charges will be
forgiven.
The AMP Plan is not available to NEM customers (NEM customers include customers
participating in NEM, NEM-ST, NEM-FC, NEM-V, NEM-V-ST, VNM-A, VNM-A-ST, and
VNEM-SOMAH).
An Eligible Customer may elect to participate in the AMP Plan if they meet the following
conditions:
b. An Eligible Customer has past due arrearages greater than $500 for electric;
b. An Eligible Customer has an arrearage at least 90 days of age or older; and,
c. An Eligible Customer must be a customer for at least 6 months, and has made at
least one (1) full on-time payment of that months' current charges by that month's

AMP Amount debt will be forgiven. This is considered successful completion of the
AMP Plan.
i. After successful completion of the AMP Plan, any remaining
arrearage (in excess of the $8,000 forgiven, per AMP) is owed to the
utility and may be eligible for a payment plan.
c. Any payment received, including Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program

RENDERING AND PAYMENT OF BILLS
H. Arrearage Management Payment (AMP) Plan
Per D.20-06-003, the AMP Plan is a debt forgiveness payment plan option available to eligible
customers. Upon customer enrollment in the AMP, 1/12 of the AMP Participant's debt will be
forgiven after each on-time payment of the current Month's charges.
1. AMP Plan Eligibility and Enrollment Criteria
The AMP Plan is available to an individually metered, bundled and unbundled residential customer
account that is currently enrolled in CARE and/or FERA (Eligible Customer").
For unbundled customers to have CCA charges forgiven in the AMP Plan, the CCA has to elect to
participate to the AMP Plan and provide SDG&E reasonable notice. Within 45 days of SDG&E
receiving notice that the CCA has opted into the AMP Plan, SDG&E will consider the CCA customers
commodity-related charges eligible for forgiveness through the AMP Plan. If the CCA does not elect
to participate, only utility charges will be forgiven.
The AMP Plan is not available to NEM customers (NEM customers include customers participating in
NEM, NEM-ST, NEM-FC, NEM-V, NEM-V-ST, VNM-A, VNM-A-ST, and VNEM-SOMAH).
An Eligible Customer may elect to participate in the AMP Plan under the following conditions;
a. An Eligible Customer has past due arrearages greater than $500 for electric;
b. An Eligible Customer has an arrearage at least 90 days of age or older; and,
c. An Eligible Customer must be a customer of the utility for at least 6 months and has made at
least one (1) full on-time payment of that month's current charges by that month's payment due
date within the last 24 months.
2. AMP Plan Forgiveness
a. Once an Eligible Customer is enrolled in the AMP Plan ("AMP Participant"), 1/12 of the AMP
Participant's debt will be forgiven, up to a maximum of $8,000 ("AMP Amount") per AMP, after
each on-time payment of the current month's charges.
i. AMP Amount is determined at the time of enrollment.
b. After twelve on-time payments of current month's charges, the AMP Participant's AMP Amount
debt will be forgiven per AMP. This is considered successful completion of the AMP Plan.
i.
After successful completion of the AMP Plan, if arrearage is more than $8,000, the
remaining arrearage is owed to the utility and may be eligible for a payment plan at
the time of successful completion.
c. Any payment received, including Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program ("LIHEAP")
pledge payments, shall be applied towards the AMP Participant's current bill only and will not be
applied to any AMP Amount. If a payment is received in excess of current month's charges, the
excess will be applied to future charges.

RULE 9 Sheet 5
RENDERING AND PAYMENT OF BILLS
G. Arrearage Management Payment (AMP) Plan
Per D.20-06-003, the AMP Plan is a debt forgiveness payment plan option available to eligible
customers. Upon customer enrollment in the AMP, 1/12 of the AMP Participant's debt will be
forgiven after each on-time payment of the current month's charges.
1. AMP Plan Eligibility and Enrollment Criteria
The AMP Plan is available to an individually metered, core residential customer account that is
currently enrolled in CARE and/or FERA ("Eligible Customer").
An Eligible Customer may elect to participate in the AMP Plan under the following conditions:
a. An Eligible Customer has past due arrearages greater than $250 for gas only customer;
b. An Eligible Customer has an arrearage at least 90 days of age or older; and,
c. An Eligible Customer must be a customer of the utility for at least 6 months and has made at
least one (1) full on-time payment of that month's current charges by that month's payment due
date within the last 24 months.
2. AMP Plan Forgiveness
a. Once an Eligible Customer is enrolled in the AMP Plan ("AMP Participant"), 1/12 of the AMP
Participant's debt will be forgiven, up to a maximum of $8,000 ("AMP Amount") per AMP, after
each on-time payment of the current month's charges.
i. AMP Amount is determined at the time of enrollment.
b. After twelve on-time payments of current month's charges, the AMP Participant's AMP Amount
debt will be forgiven. This is considered successful completion of the AMP Plan.
i.
After successful completion of the AMP Plan, any remaining arrearage (in excess of the
$8,000 forgiven per AMP) is owed to the utility and may be eligible for a payment plan.
c. Any payment received, including Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program ("LIHEAP")
pledge payments, shall be applied towards the AMP Participant's current bill only and will not be
applied to any AMP Amount. If a payment is received in excess of current month's charges, the
excess will be applied to future charges.
d. An AMP Participant will receive an acknowledgment of on-time payment received at three (3),
six (6), and nine (9) months of participation in the AMP Plan.
e. An AMP Participant can miss up to two non-sequential payments if the customer makes up the
payment on the next billing due date with an on-time full payment of both the current month's
charges and the previous month's past-due bill(s).

G. Arrearage Management Payment (AMP) Plan - (Continued)
f. An AMP Participant, who misses two sequential payments, shall be removed from the AMP
Plan. An AMP Participant removed from the AMP Plan, may re-enroll after completing a 12-
month waiting period, which begins the month after removal from the AMP Plan. Re-enrolling in
the AMP Plan requires an Eligible Customer to meet AMP Plan Eligibility and Enrollment Criteria.
If an AMP Participant is removed from the AMP Plan, the remaining arrearage will be owed to
the utility and may be eligible for a payment plan at the time of removal.
An AMP Participant, who drops out of the AMP Plan, may re-enroll after completing a 12-month
waiting period, which begins the month after dropping out from the AMP Plan. Re-enrolling in
the AMP Plan requires an Eligible Customer to meet AMP Plan Eligibility and Enrollment Criteria.
If an AMP Participant drops out from the AMP Plan, the remaining arrearage will be owed to the
utility and may be eligible for a payment plan at the time of dropping out.
h. An AMP Participant, who successfully completes the AMP Plan, may re-enroll after completing a
12-month waiting period, which begins the month after successful completion of the AMP Plan.
Re-enrolling in the AMP Plan requires an Eligible Customer to meet AMP Plan Eligibility and
Enrollment Criteria.
i. All bundled charges forgiven will be recorded in the Residential Uncollectible Balancing Account
(RU BA).
California Hub for Energy Efficiency Financing (CHEEF) and On-Bill Repayment (OBR) charges
will not be eligible for forgiveness in the AMP Plan.
k. To make current monthly charges more predictable, an AMP Participant can request to
participate in LPP while participating in the AMP Plan.
