SFPUC: CleanPowerSF enrollment rising; commission approves $14.03M Calpine amendment
Summary
SFPUC reported CleanPowerSF serves about 81,000 accounts with low opt-out rates and plans July auto-enrollment to expand to ~105,000 accounts; the commission approved a $14,030,000, three-year amendment with Calpine Energy Solutions for customer and administrative services.
Barbara Hale, assistant general manager for power, updated the commission on CleanPowerSF enrollment and regulatory activity. The program serves approximately 81,000 accounts with a 3.2% opt-out rate (retaining roughly 96.8% of enrolled customers). SuperGreen enrollment—customers receiving 100% renewable electricity—exceeds the opt-out rate at about 4.2%, representing over 4,000 businesses and residents. Staff advised the commission that July auto-enrollment notices are being mailed and are expected to raise the customer count to about 105,000 accounts, mostly by adding commercial accounts.
Hale also briefed commissioners on regulatory work at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) related to the power charge or power charge indifference adjustment (PCIA) and a CPUC "green book" report on customer choice; briefs in the PCIA matter are due in June and a proposed decision is expected for comment in August. CleanPowerSF staff said they will remain active in the CPUC and Sacramento discussions.
During the consent calendar and subsequent action on item 10 the commission approved Amendment No.1 to Agreement CS247R with Calpine Energy Solutions for customer and administrative services supporting the community choice aggregation program, increasing the agreement amount by $14,030,000 and extending the agreement term by three years. The motion passed by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the public transcript.
