PRESENTATION 1, COMMUNITY CHOIGE AGGREGATION OVERVIEW — F2M17-16 Gary Gero, Chief Sustainabilty Officer for the County of Los Angeles, gave a PowerPoint presentation to the City Council regarding Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), authorized by California AB 117 and SB 790, which allows local gover»ments {counties and cites) to purchase electricity in the wholesale power market, develop and ‘operate generation assets, sel electricity to thor residents and businesses and provide ‘stomer programs such as energy efficiency and renewable energy incentives. A copy of Mr Gero's presentation s on file In the Cy Clerk's Office. He noted that a CCA can ‘offer competiive rates and potentially greener and more local energy as an atemative fo 1 electricty provided by an investor-owned utity (IOU), taking over the acquisition and Salo of eloctriity to residential and commercial customers while using the 1OU's transmission and distribution services and power ine maintenance and continuing with the customer biling services, The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has recommended that the County proceed wih forming a CCA in patinership_ with Interested local governments that wil be known as the LAGCE (Los Angeles County Community Choice Energy). He explained that CCA could provide lower rates than ‘Southam Galfomia Edison as non-profit governmental provider as it was not requ to provide a return on investment as Edison was requied fo do, He added thal CCA hag ‘another benefit with respect to reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. He noted that at the 50% renewable energy level, the Cily would expect a 7% reduction in GHG temissions and at the 100% renewable level, the reduction would be 14%, Next, Mr. Gero ultined possible JPA govemance structures as follows: every member government gets fn cqual seat on the Board, every member government gets a voting share proportional to its electric load of, some combination of the aforementioned options. He also explained some of the possible program offerings for a CCA which included: Mutiple Rate Optons: match SCE's share of renewable pawer (28% green), 60% green or 100% green; of, Customer Programs, e.g. Net Energy Metering, Electric Vehicle Programs, Business Development rales or otter programs; or, Local Renewable Resource DevelopmentDistioutes Energy Resources. He provided the Lancaster Choice Eneray (LCE) as an example of a CCA currently in operation and noted it offers competitive fates and maintains a 93% customer participation rate. ‘Continuing, he noted that CCA's had economic development benofits with respect tothe total electrety savings a CCA could offer versus SCE. In Phase 2, a 6.4% rate reduction saves LACCE customers $20 milion a year which is is estimated to create 200 new jobs in Los Angeles Count. In aggregate, these benefits could add $16 milion fo the County's feconomy. Economie development benefits could also be found in power supply Construction projects. He noted that construction of one 60 MWY solar project in Los ‘Angeles County could ereata 1,500 jobs during construction and 15 fume permanent jobs. He added that the LACCE would need several dozen of these projects at build-out Final, ne explained that another benefit of CCA's was local control because they tenable communities to invest locally, instead of sending money to SCE, CCA revenues ould be reinvested in the local community. He noted that CCA's have total focal contro! ‘ver their power supply, rates, and customer programs (e.g., energy efficiency, sol incentives, EV incentives, et.) Discussion: Councilmember MALONEY noted that Mr. Gero had reported on, partcioating city, the City of Lancaster, had 7% opt-out rate forits customers. He asked Fi Gero It hs kiww te tessone why customers chose fo opt-aut ef the CCA and remain With Edison’ Responding, Mr. Gero noted that anecdotally, cuslomer that opted out tisiked being automaticaly eavolled in the CCA and having their provider switched Without warning, He added that some customers simply felt that government should be limited ints 018 and be in the business of seling elecrcty. Mr. MALONEY asked, with respect to the Multiple Rate Ontion, whether rate payers in the CCA could choose between the fiers. Mr Gero replied that the City could select a dofaut tier or alow customers fo choose. He added that CCA's could choose to offer customers new CCA fate options, without removing Southern California Edison's options es having both CCA land SCE products gives customers @ choice. Also, for example, wit respect tothe ters, 2 4.2347 he noted the City could perhaps set the default tler at the 60% green rate, and then allow customers to choose to remain at that ter of opt for the 28% green rate or the 100% freon rate, Councimember AYALA asked if members of the CCA would be responsible for providing updates to the mechanisms that cistriaute power. Mr. Gero replied that SCE ‘would maintain the transmission lines and provide meter reading an biling services. He added that CCA members would be able to choose how to spend the revenue ‘Generated. For example, member could choose to focts on grid relabiliylstabilly OF fenergy. efficiencyleonsumplion reducion of bulding micro-gride or on green energyirenewable sources. He also mentioned that the relationships between the investor-owned ulilty, in the City's case, SCE and the CCA were typically good. He noted that SCE was generally more cooperative than Paciic Gas & Electric. \Vice Mayor SHAM asked if one risk for a CCA would be that SCE may continue to Increase distibution charges and ext fees because they would sill be maintaining the Infrastructure and subject to the Public Utes Commission. He noted that this could potentially affect the CCA’s abilty to achiave rate reductions for customers. Me. GERO Feplied that SCE would only be able to charge exit fees that were proportional to their factual costs. Also they were not permitted to make exorbitant profs on distribution charges. ‘Action Taken: City Council to received and ordered the informational report.
