Clean Power SF expands enrollment and files integrated resource plan with CPUC
Summary
Clean Power SF reported enrollment increased to about 114,000 accounts with a low opt‑out rate and the commission authorized submission of the first integrated resource plan (IRP) to the California Public Utilities Commission, favoring a high‑wind/local resource mix.
The commission received two Clean Power SF updates on July 24: a status report on enrollment and a recommendation to submit an integrated resource plan (IRP) compliance filing to the California Public Utilities Commission.
Barbara Hale, assistant general manager for power, said Clean Power SF enrollment rose from roughly 81,000 to about 114,000 accounts after recent enrollments, with a new opt‑out percentage of 2.9% and a Super Green upgrade rate of 3.3%. Staff have run joint rate mailers with PG&E and are preparing an October enrollment step.
Michael Himes, director of Clean Power SF, asked the commission to authorize submission of the IRP compliance filing by the August 1 deadline. Himes said the city retained Black & Veatch to model resource cases and recommended "Case 5," a higher wind and local resource mix, as the filing case to meet state and city renewable and greenhouse‑gas goals while managing cost. Himes noted that Clean Power SF is not bound to the exact resource mix and can update its plan in future cycles.
Public comment from an environmental‑justice advocate raised concerns that planning and procurement sometimes concentrate emissions or fossil‑fuel impacts near Bayview Hunters Point and urged more targeted community engagement and local benefits from IRP decisions.
Action: the commission authorized the general manager to submit the IRP filing to the CPUC.
