Clean Power SF reports steady participation, eyes CPUC decision that could affect CCA competitiveness
Summary
Assistant General Manager Barbara Hale told the commission the program's opt-out rate is 3.1% and Super Green enrollment is forecast at 44,000 MWh in 2018; she warned a pending California PUC proceeding (Oct. 11 vote) could alter the economics of community choice aggregation.
Assistant General Manager for Power Barbara Hale updated the commission on Clean Power SF enrollment and an active regulatory proceeding.
Hale said Clean Power SF's opt-out rate remains about 3.1 percent (a ~97 percent retention rate) and the Super Green upgrade participation sits at about 3.5 percent. Staff count customers by PG&E service point, which can cause large multi-site customers to be counted multiple times if they enroll multiple service points.
Staff forecast roughly 44,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of Super Green sales in 2018, up from about 24,000 MWh in 2017, and about 1,156,000 MWh of green product sales overall in 2018. Hale said Super Green customers' participation is estimated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 3,900 metric tons of CO2 in 2018; the green product cohort is projected to reduce emissions by about 65,000 metric tons.
Hale also briefed commissioners on a California Public Utilities Commission proceeding: a revised alternate proposal could affect CCAs' ability to deliver clean energy at lower or equal cost to PG&E service. The CPUC was scheduled to vote on Oct. 11; SFPUC staff and CalCCA are monitoring the revised alternate and plan to model impacts for Clean Power SF customers.
Hale answered commissioners' questions on counting methodology, energy volumes and greenhouse-gas calculations and said SFPUC uses standard EPA calculators for its CO2 estimates.
