CLEAN ENERGY ALLIANCE ACTION AGENDA
RECOMMENDATION
1)Adopt Resolution 2021-007 Establishing Clean Energy Alliance Rates and Power
Supply Options.
2)Direct staff to develop a Renewable Energy Self-Generation Bill Credit Transfer
Program and Return to Board for Approval March 25, 2021.
3)Approve enrollment phasing of Net Energy Metering (NEM) customers in Carlsbad
and Del Mar.
Interim CEO Barbara Boswell presented the item detailing the program offerings and
stated that the third recommendation for approval of enrollment phasing of Net Energy
Metering customers in Carlsbad and Del Mar is withdrawn at this time due to the recent
finding that NEM customers enrolling beginning in July 2021 would be in the 2021 PCIA
vintage, and the need for further impact analysis related to the 2021 vintage. In her
presentation Ms. Boswell stated staff was not recommending the Local Impact program
due to the results of the analysis showing the small amount of savings that could be
offered to eligible customers.
Chair Becker inquired regarding the expense to Solana Beach customers for the year.
Ms. Boswell clarified that when SDG&E calculated PCIA charges for 2021, the rate for
vintages 2019 going back had two components included which are 1) rate to collect the
difference in liquidation of contracts for the current year and 2) an additional fee added
for SDG&E undercollection incurred in 2020, related to collection of PCIA and liquidation
of those contracts. The supplemental charge in exit fees for vintage 2019 and back is not
part of the 2020 vintage.
Member Druker inquired regarding the differential of the 39% renewable provided by
SDG&E and the 50% renewable/75% Carbon Free and the Local Impact (if offered) by
CEA. Ms. Boswell clarified the savings this year on each CEA offering compared to
SDG&E.
Ms. Boswell commented regarding the NEM Net Surplus Compensation proposal.
ACTION: Motion by Chair Becker, second by Member Druker, to direct staff to develop a Renewable
Energy Self-Generation Bill Credit Transfer Program and Return to Board for Approval March 25, 2021.

The Board commented and directed staff to remove recommendation No. 3) Approve
enrollment phasing of Net Energy Metering (NEM) customers in Carlsbad and Del Mar
and return with further analysis.
