Clean Power SF reports low opt‑out rate, readies procurement plan for November service
Summary
SFPUC staff reported Clean Power SF serves roughly 7,900 customer locations with an opt‑out rate of 1.3%, 3% participation in a Super Green product, and 471 pre‑enrollments (339 for Super Green). Staff said it may seek authority to exceed a 50 MW average demand cap if affordable supply is available and will return July 26 with recommended procurement actions.
Barbara Hale, Assistant General Manager for Power, briefed the commission on Clean Power SF enrollment, procurement planning and program road‑mapping.
Hale said the program "continues to successfully serve and receive bill payments from our customers" and reported more than 7,900 customer locations with about 7,400 active locations. The program's opt‑out rate is 1.3% (up from 1.2%), and roughly 3% of customers currently choose the Super Green offering. Hale also reported 471 pre‑enrollments, of which 339 have selected Super Green.
On procurement, Hale said the market for premium renewable products is tight and staff conducted a bid and is evaluating options. If affordable supply is available, staff plans to return on July 26 with an action item that would allow the program to exceed its current 50‑megawatt average authority to procure necessary supply for November service.
Hale described program planning steps including a program growth roadmap and an integrated resource plan. She noted staff is collaborating with other operating community choice aggregators (CCAs) and is preparing bylaws for a formal association to strengthen advocacy on matters such as the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) at the California Public Utilities Commission.
Public commenters commended staff on the low opt‑out rate and urged the commission to pursue local build‑out and job creation while cautioning against overreliance on gas and recommending investment in storage and local generation.
