Under the terms of the Clean Energy Alliance Joint Powers Agreement, it is up to each member agency to choose the default power supply product for the alliance’s customers within its jurisdiction. The City Council may choose from the following product options: 1)Clean Impact - 50% of power supply from renewable energy sources 2)Clean Impact 75 - 50% renewable and 75% carbon-free energy sources (Clean Impact rate + $.001/kWh) 3)Green Impact - 100% renewable (Clean Impact rate + $.0075/kWh) The alliance board is preparing for the launch of the Clean Energy Alliance’s community choice aggregation program in May 2021. It has requested that the City Council consider the power supply options above and select the default product to be offered to customers within the City of Carlsbad. Mar. 9, 2021 Item #6 Page 1 of 30 Discussion Background The City Council approved the joint powers agreement creating the Clean Energy Alliance on Oct. 8, 2019 (Resolution 2019-197). The alliance is a new regional community choice aggregation program that enables the city and its partners to purchase power from alternative suppliers while still receiving the power through their existing utility provider. Community choice aggregation provides for more local control over electricity sources and the potential to choose greener power sources and lower electricity prices. The alliance’s member agencies are the cities of Carlsbad, Solana Beach and Del Mar. It is scheduled to launch in May-June 2021. The City Council appointed Council Member Bhat-Patel as the primary board representative on the Clean Energy Alliance Board of Directors and Council Member Acosta as the alternate. Clean Energy Alliance proposed rates The Clean Energy Alliance is a separate government agency from its member agencies and must fund its expenses from revenues generated through energy sales. Member agencies are not responsible for providing funding in the event revenue falls short of covering the alliance’s operating costs. As a new agency, the alliance does not yet have reserves established, and so must set rates to ensure enough revenue is generated to fund its operating costs, including power supply, administration and debt service, and to fund a 5% operating reserve. The rates approved by the alliance board provide the alliance’s needed revenue requirements. Customers who enroll with the Clean Energy Alliance are charged an exit fee called a power charge indifference adjustment, or PCIA, by SDG&E, the electric utility company that serves San Diego County. The purpose of the exit fee is to cover any losses incurred by SDG&E in liquidating energy supply contracts it has entered on behalf of customers that leave for Clean Energy Alliance service. In developing the alliance’s rates, the exit fees have been taken into account when comparing average monthly electric utility costs of service between the alliance and SDG&E. The exit fee is charged to customers on a per kWh basis each month by SDG&E and is determined based on when the customer leaves SDG&E’s generation service. The exit fee is set annually through SDG&E’s Energy Resource Recovery Account rate-setting process. Community choice customers are assigned what’s called a PCIA vintage, based on when they leave SDG&E generation services. Solana Beach customers departed SDG&E in June 2018 when they enrolled with Solana Energy Alliance, resulting in those customers being assigned the 2017 PCIA vintage. Clean Energy Alliance customers in Carlsbad and Del Mar, who are to move off SDG&E in May and June 2021, are assigned the 2020 PCIA vintage. Mar. 9, 2021 Item #6 Page 2 of 30 The chart below provides an average monthly bill comparison for residential customers on the basic rate schedule based on the adopted rates for the Clean Impact - 50% renewable energy product, and on SDG&E’s current rates and fees.1 Carlsbad & Del Mar residential customers (Exit fees set at 2020 vintage) Clean Energy Alliance SDG&E Difference Power generation $ 28.33 $ 43.06 -34.2% SDG&E exit and franchise fees $ 13.77 $ - Generation-related costs $ 42.10 $ 43.06 -2.2% SDG&E energy delivery $ 67.00 $ 67.00 Total average monthly bill $ 109.10 $ 110.07 -0.9% The alliance’s per kWh rate for power generation alone is approximately 34% lower than SDG&E’s comparable rate. This is an apples-to-apples comparison of what customers are paying for the electrons. However, Clean Energy Alliance customers will not fully realize these cost savings for some time because of the exit fee SDG&E charges departing customers. After taking the exit fees into account, the proposed rates meet the alliance’s stated target by providing a 2.2% generation cost savings to customers in the 2020 vintage. The overall monthly bill, after taking SDG&E delivery charges into account, is 0.9%, or $.97 lower. This comparison reflects current 2021 rates, and as mentioned above, SDG&E’s rates are re- calculated and adjusted annually, including the exit fees. The alliance will continue to be at risk of increasing exit fees, which could reduce or eliminate ratepayer cost savings in future years. The alliance will continue to diligently participate in SDG&E’s rate-setting process to protect its customers and minimize the exit fees to the extent possible. The chart below provides the same comparison for residential customers in Solana Beach, who are on the same basic rate schedule, but assessed exit fees based on the 2017 vintage. Solana Beach residential customers (Exit fees set at 2017 vintage): Clean Energy Alliance SDG&E Difference Power generation $ 28.33 $ 43.06 -34.2% SDG&E exit and franchise fees $ 15.78 $ - Generation-related costs $ 44.11 $ 43.06 2.4% SDG&E energy delivery $ 67.00 $ 67.00 Total average monthly bill $ 111.11 $ 110.07 0.9% While Solana Beach customers are charged the same lower per kWh rate for energy by the alliance, the impact of the SDG&E exit fees increases the alliance’s generation- related costs to a point where overall generation related costs are 2.4% higher than SDG&E’s. The overall 1 The fees in these comparisons have been annualized to reflect an average of the summer and winter costs of energy. Mar. 9, 2021 Item #6 Page 3 of 30 monthly bill, after taking SDG&E delivery charges into account, is 0.9%, or $1.04 higher, than the cost of SDG&E service. The following charts provide comparisons of the expected bills from the alliance to those from SDG&E based on average usage for small commercial customers, who are billed under the time of use rate schedule. Carlsbad and Del Mar small commercial customers (Exit fees set at 2020 vintage) Clean Energy Alliance SDG&E Difference Power generation $ 88.03 $ 130.89 -32.7% SDG&E exit and franchise fees $ 39.91 $ - Generation-related costs $ 127.95 $ 130.89 -2.2% SDG&E energy delivery $ 210.53 $ 210.53 Total average monthly bill $ 338.48 $ 341.42 -0.9% As shown in the comparison above for Carlsbad and Del Mar customers, the alliance’s generation rates are 32.7% below SDG&E’s current generation rates, but the impact of the exit fees dilute this savings to approximately 2.2%. The overall monthly bill, after taking SDG&E delivery charges into account, is 0.9%, or $2.94 lower. Solana Beach small commercial customers (Exit fees set at 2017 vintage) Clean Energy Alliance SDG&E Difference Power generation $ 88.03 $ 130.89 -32.7% SDG&E exit and franchise fees $ 46.98 $ - Generation-related costs $ 135.01 $ 130.89 3.1% SDG&E energy delivery $ 210.53 $ 210.53 Total average monthly bill $ 345.54 $ 341.42 1.2% Similar to the comparison for Solana Beach residential customers, the Clean Energy Alliance’s proposed generation rates for the city’s small commercial customers are set at 32.7% below SDG&E’s comparable rate, but after accounting for SDG&E’s exit fees, the generation-related costs are 3.1% higher than SDG&E. After taking SDG&E delivery charges into account, the average overall monthly bill is 1.2%, or $4.12 higher than SDG&E’s rates. The exit fees are charged by SDG&E as long as it is holding energy contracts that it had entered on behalf of the departed Clean Energy Alliance customers. These tend to expire after nine to 10 years. The chart below shows the 2021 exit fees for vintages going back to 2009. Mar. 9, 2021 Item #6 Page 4 of 30 As demonstrated above, starting with the 2011 vintage, the rate begins dropping off. But over the next ten years, exit fees will be an issue that significantly impacts Clean Energy Alliance customers, and will cause ongoing uncertainty as to the alliance’s ability to provide significant cost savings and programs to its customers. Power supply product offerings The Clean Energy Alliance Joint Powers Agreement establishes that the alliance’s base, that is, the default, power supply product will be greater than or equal to 50% qualified renewable resources (Section 6.5 - Power Supply Requirements), increasing to 100% by 2035. The agreement further states that the board shall establish product options with higher renewable and/or greenhouse gas-free content that each member agency may select as its default energy product for its community. In addition to establishing the available default power supply offerings for its member agencies to choose from, the Clean Energy Alliance board may establish other product offerings that individual customers may voluntarily select as their power supply. The choices being offered by the Clean Energy Alliance are: Clean Impact - 50% renewable energy product Under the terms of the agreement, the Clean Impact product offering, with a minimum 50% renewable energy, is the option with the minimum amount of renewable energy that a member agency may select as the default product offering for its community. If a member agency selects the Clean Impact 75 – 50% renewable/75% carbon-free option or Green Impact – 100% renewable energy product as its default, the Clean Impact product would be available to individual customers to opt down to. Clean Impact 75 - 50% renewable energy and 75% carbon-free energy The Solana Energy Alliance, Solana Beach’s existing community choice aggregation program, is to be incorporated into the Clean Energy Alliance. The Clean Energy Alliance 0 0.005 0.01 0.015 0.02 0.025 0.03 0.035 0.04 0.045 0.05 Residential 2021 exit fees rates by vintage 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Mar. 9, 2021 Item #6 Page 5 of 30 board also decided to provide an offering that meets Solana Energy’s current default power supply mix of 50% renewable and 75% carbon-free energy. The rate premium to recover the increased costs of the 75% carbon-free product is $.001/kWh. On an average monthly bill, the premium to a residential customer, the amount that must be paid in addition to the Clean Impact base rate, is approximately $0.35, and on an average small commercial customer bill is $1.21 per month. Green Impact - 100% renewable energy product This 100% renewable energy product is available as an alternative default power supply offering for member agencies. Individual customers served by agencies that choose the Clean Impact option as the default power supply can opt-up to Green Impact. The Green Impact power supply product will cost more than Clean Impact because of the additional expense of procuring the power supply with more renewable energy. The rate premium for choosing 100% renewable energy is $0.0075 per kWh, which translates to an approximately $2.65 premium on an average monthly residential customer bill and a $9.11 premium on an average monthly small commercial customer bill. Fiscal Analysis No financial impact will be incurred as a result of the City Council selecting a default power supply product for Clean Energy Alliance customers within the City of Carlsbad. However, the city maintains numerous electric service accounts to power its municipal facilities, and city provided services, such as street lighting, which are currently billed according to 15 different rate schedules. Given the option for individual customers, including the city, to choose their preferred power supply product, the rates paid by the city will be directly impacted by the City Council’s future selection of a power supply product(s) to serve the city’s accounts. If the City Council chooses the Clean Impact product as the default product for alliance customers within Carlsbad, the city would have the option of selecting that product or the Green Impact product to power city-owned facilities. Choosing the Clean Impact product would result in a cost savings to the city, while choosing the Green Impact product would result in a cost increase. The Clean Impact 75 product would not be an option under this scenario. By choosing the Clean Impact 75 product as the citywide default, the city would have the option of selecting the Clean Impact, Clean Impact 75, or Green Impact product to power its facilities. Again, selecting the Clean Impact product would result in a cost savings to the city, while choosing either the Clean Impact 75 or Green Impact product would result in varying degrees of cost increases. Finally, should the City Council select the Green Impact product as the citywide default, the city would have the option of selecting that product (along with its associated cost premium) or the Clean Impact product (and its associated cost savings) to service municipal facilities. The Clean Impact 75 product would not be an option under this scenario. Mar. 9, 2021 Item #6 Page 6 of 30 Staff will return to the City Council prior to the Clean Energy Alliance’s launch date to present additional analysis and provide an opportunity for the City Council to select the power supply product(s) that will serve the city’s municipal accounts. Next Steps The Clean Energy Alliance is proceeding with the implementation of its community choice aggregation program and is on track to begin serving customers in May and June 2021. Staff will deliver a copy of the adopted City Council Resolution to inform the Clean Energy Alliance of the City Council’s selection of a default power supply product. Staff will return to the City Council before the Clean Energy Alliance’s launch date for the City Council to select the power supply product that will serve the city’s municipal accounts.

For the Information of the: CITY COUNCIL Date ~ CA ..-cc ~ CM ~M _ CM (3) __::- To: Manager Internet Email <Manager@CarlsbadCA.gov>; Jason Haber <Jason .Haber@carlsbadca.gov> Cc: Council Internet Email <CityCouncil@carlsbadca.gov> Subject: Item 6 -March 9 Council meeting After reading the staff r~port for the CEA rates discussion coming up on March 9th, I didn't see any reference to how residents with solar energy on their homes will be impacted. With the already sizeable adoption of solar in our city as well as continual new installations, this topic would seem be very important for any rates discussion. Please take the time to discuss that at the meeting. Unfortunately I will not be able to watch live or call in to the meeting but will certainly catch up after it is posted online. May I suggest two categories of a solar rates comparison. 1. In a situation like at our home, we end up paying about $450 a year for electricity at our True Up time on top of the solar production we get from our panels. What could we and others like us expect? 2. In homes where solar covers all of the electricity needs and more, how would the compensation for excess solar production compare to SDG&E's? 1 Thank you in advance for addressing this at your upcoming meeting. Solar is an ever-growing part of Carlsbad's power profile and these rate comparisons are important for our community to understand. 'Thank you Arnie Cohen 2
