Multifamily properties are eligible to receive layered cash incentives to install higher energy efficiency appliances. Through Energize Richmond, multifamily properties are eligible to receive cash incentives of up to $25,000 for market rate properties and $35,000 for affordable housing, in addition to MCE’s rebates.
Bakari Kafele owns a 4-unit property in Richmond. An MCE site assessment revealed many energy savings opportunities but unfortunately were outside of his budget. Thanks to Energize Richmond and MCE, Bakari received a total of $2,138 in rebates and installed condensing tankless water heaters and Energy Star refrigerators.
Bakari and his tenants will save ~$1,664 on utility bills annually. This partnership helped him generate significant energy and gas savings, as well as improve the quality of living for his residents.

On 12/29/17, the CPUC released a PD on IRP Planning proceeding.
CCA concerns:
• The Commission assumes that it has broad oversight over CCA procurement and planning activities through the IRP.
• SB 350 specifically directs the CPUC to certify CCA IRPs, just like how it certifies CCA implementation plans.
• While CCAs understand the CPUC is concerned about achieving California’s environmental policy goals, the CPUC should coordinate and collaborate with CCA Boards instead of assuming general procurement oversight authority.
• MCE is working with CalCCA to file comments and will be meeting with Commissioners' offices in the next few weeks to try to find a solution.

• Track 1: General

principles, 2/7
• Track 2: Two day
workshop in
January
Summary of workshop: Useful exchange of high-level
conceptual ideas. Parties agree on need to minimize
cost shifts. IOUs still advocate for PAM. CCAs still
working with IOUS for data access.
IOUs maintain that current methodology only
recoups 65% of all stranded assets; leaving ~$170M in
cost shifting. Calculation uses low assumptions about
IOU portfolio value (i.e., low capacity & RPS values)
If you plug in other legitimate values for capacity
and RPS values, the PCIA almost equally unfairly
impacts unbundled customers. Truth is somewhere in
between.

What’s the value of these stranded assets? Think
beyond cost.
The PCIA is the delta between contracted above-
market portfolio costs and administratively-set
market price benchmark.
Other options proposed to ameliorate cost shifting:
securitization, transfer IOU contracts to CCAs,
auction off portfolio chunks, fine-tune methodology
to include other values (e.g., GHG free), buy-out.
CCAs are aggressively protecting local control and
autonomy over our self-procurement.

Trump’s new solar tariffs
Residential Solar Impact:
A few PV developers have told us that
this will result in ~$0.15/ watt increase
in PV modules (~$5.00/MWh increase
in commercial scale PPAs).
Since installation & permitting are a
higher proportion of cost than the
modules for residential projects, these
projects should see a much smaller
impact.
MCE 2021 Power Mix
• Impact on MCE Portfolio
– None of MCE’s existing contracts under development will be affected by the tariff because they already have modules under contract.
– We anticipated the tariff impacts in our portfolio planning and contracted for a significant volume of solar in our last Open Season. (Marin Independent Journal article)
– In 2021 we will have ~38% solar in our power mix. That’s about the maximum we’re comfortable with.
– We do not plan on contracting for new solar this year.
• Possible impact on future CCA procurement:
– New solar PV offers for 2018 Open Season may be impacted and subject to as much as a 20% price increase, if they have not already contracted for PV modules.

Most important actions for CCAs to support
disadvantaged communities:
1. Provide energy efficiency and solar
rebates
2. Lower electricity rates (e.g., lower
generation rates, reduce PCIA)3. Local development of renewable energy
projects
2016 Community Power
Coalition Survey results
Last year’s survey helped MCE set priorities
and allocate resources
We need your input and feedback to
continue refining our focus and putting
Community first.
Cheers to many more years of growing
together!

* Credits accrue at PG&E’s retail rate. Any generation credits will be zeroed out at the time of PG&E’s annual true–up bill. Delivery credits will be credited at a wholesale rate, called Net Surplus Compensation.** PG&E will continue to bill you for delivery, gas, and other charges annually.
