10:06 am
the future are determined so this goes back a number of years as you recall the number of the dots rate is what we're managing around for both our rail and wholesale customers it is costs prosperly based on the water the customers use this chart is helpful to show that you'll see the current year to the right reflects a 13 percent reductions in the water deliveries i'll talk about that what that means for the rates so the revenue requirement is what termed as the amount of money we're meant to collect from the twhoel customers and this slide shows what the revenue looks like with the fiscal year 2016 shaded so we're
10:07 am
trying to collect about $243 million as you can see from go next year and that amount is split fairly evenly between costs and the debt service growth from hundred and $16 million in the next fiscal year up to hundred and $50 million is driving the rate chapping for this customer. >> so this shows the historical rate this graphic is good to show you up and down in fiscal year 2016 of $3.45 percent is a 228 percent increase it was in the low 30s a few months ago we worked in smoothly those rates over the next few years as you can see the fiscal year 2016 it
10:08 am
drops to the zero line i hope to keep the rate change as closed to zero as possible we've shared the 28 percent increase with the wholesaler customers on several occasions provided a 10 year plan and meet with them directly to talk about a number of things which one is the proposal and noticed them twice about the rate once in january and the second meows by the contract in april we did get feedback from the wholesale customers they don't like the rate hikes we'll be working with them enterex next calendar year to look at ways to do that. >> this is just the rate structure in a basically sort
10:09 am
format we subtract what we collect from the fix charge a little bit over $4 million and put that over the forecasted sale of the sales volume that's how we get the 3 point 5 cents for c cf >> this shows you again historically how the rates have changed. >> what we projected a i don't know we do want to point out the 2014-2015 projects the rate what we had told this commission and the twhoel customers we thought the rates next year will be $3.45 but higher $3.75 is because of the lower deliveries and the lower sales in the current years that is what the driving the rate change a third
10:10 am
of the rate change the 3 45 is a rate change is now about 28 percent. >> just the last point we have one wholesale customer that receives untreated water so thought discount is $0.37 per unit for them with that i'll take our questions. >> commissioners. >> i have one on the second slide you show the wholesale customers the number for the staying level and the city demand going up what accounts for the city's demand 0 going up. >> that's an assumption we're making, however, this is probably going to not be correct assumes we had when we prepared
10:11 am
this slide for the wholesale customers was before the recent announcements and the debilitations so this is what we've heard in mr. richie to go from the 8 percent savings to 10 percent for the wholesale customers that ultimate data point will be slightly below. >> that's a revenue issue for us. >> yes. >> okay. >> any other commission questions or comments. >> any public comment? okay. seeing none may i have it motion >> motion. >> second. >> second. > all in favor, say i. > opposed? it carries thank you item 9. >> item 9 approve the selection think a of an award agreement a through c to outdoor education k through 8 education grants

10:16 am
not particularly clear but today is the day we're presenting not to exceed rates with that i'm going to turn it over to interim cfo charles pearl it's cesar chavez pearl day i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> hello, again charles pearl interim cfo i'm here to present the proposed not to exceed rates for the community choice agreeing gas station and power enterprise this is one of many important steps in terms of launching this program for those of you listening not fall familiar with the cca it allows san francisco to provide a cleaner energy supply alternative that establishes the ceiling on the cca rates not to
10:17 am
exceed it is different from the typical rate action that involves approving a service delivery not to exceed rate approval allows the power team it move forward with the planned launch this coming january the program is leading with the affordability customers won't be pay more than a pg&e customer and once the costs are known ms. hale will run or return with permission to launch them and the rates to customers will be known at this time and present what's before you today commissioners is the request to set the initial cc and a a rates and charges and also to direct the general manager to adjust those rates once the procurement
10:18 am
costs are known assuming we have your approval on this package today we'll submit this package to the board of supervisors who has thirty days to take any action assuming they don't take action the rates will be demonstrated approved by the board and we'll be return in the fall to present the program in more detail along with the rates and charges we'll be including in the rates and charges of the bills this table is because some aspects of the cca program dictated by state law this helps to clarify the parts today prescribed by i did state versus up to sfpuc discretion the building scripted by state law the pg&e bill and customers will see a new component from this program if they're a customer
10:19 am
with cca the pursuits products and rates are up i'll describe it on the termination the customers that are part of the program change their minds and want to exit the little a program no fee and prohibited by stale for the first 60 days after that 60 day they recalled our proposal for your consideration is a termination fee of $6 for residents and $25 for businesses to so the initial not to exceed rate proposal has a goal of affordable and competitive moma the participation we wanted this program to succeed that's the bottom line here so the actions involved looking at and approving the initial not to exceed to the default product
10:20 am
proposal and not to exceed for the premium opt out product and as i nodded this directs the general manager to contradict the office in the fall we shouted this with the fairness board that heard the rates proposal and deemed this proposal to be fair they asked us to come back and share the costs we'll do that at the same time, we present that to this commission so here are the not to exceed rates for the two proposed cca offering the premium and default products i'm sure we'll get more creative but the default
10:21 am
products has 90 to 90 percent california source streamable energy and the opt products will have the remaining customers that want to pay more for the hundred percent renewable choice it is a difference of $0.02 more per kilowatt hour quickly a couple of things on the slide pg&e passed on a couple of charges for the cca customers bill the t c a or the adjustment and the franchise fee charge that pg&e assess on pg&e customers and so sometimes words are better than numbers this is a
10:22 am
different way of looking at the rate methodology the cca rates are looking at the basic rates and subtracting the pc i organization and the surcharge to the cca rate we wanted to share with you the sample bill will look like here's a comparison for a 80 with an customer using the 2 hundred and 36 kilowatts a small user and the pg&e customer is next to it and the bottom line circles show no differences they're in the highlighted row the first generation your generation rate is lower than than the pg&e rates in the right hand column and the lower generation cost the customer
10:23 am
when they're given this pc i a their net neutral that's the point our generation costs are a little bit lower it makes up for the other charges for the customers rate so there's a lot of tables attached to our resolution i want to share one page of that i know you can't read it on the screen i apologize but the vaftd majority part of the cca and that's the schedule a-1 for commercial and those are you noted their included in our exhibit with the idea we are going to focus our taken into consideration attention to draw the customers maine in those customers but bringing them all forward if a customer wants a tariff it is available to them and before i
10:24 am
take our questions i did want to let you know there's a copy of the resolution that includes a couple changes we're proposing in changes with commissioner moran on the second page the resolution towards the bottom the metering and the feed tariffs and i'll read into the record the general manager shall perp and metering schedule for customers with eligible onsite renewable generation those this customers get cash payments for electricity and seek commission approval and the second clause the general manager job shall propose a feed in tariff according to market prices or to induce the purchase of local
10:25 am
prices set to induce the local renewable sources and seek commission approval the point being that the general manager is not directed to do this we'll come back and provide that to the commission to make the determination the last second to the last resolution clause we recommend adding the words authorizing the before the word commemorate i'll read the language prior to the commencement this commission will review the costs of cca service considering the authorizing the general manager to finalize the electrical rates for the initial offensive not cca when is the lower of the resolution those are the 3 changes for proposal i want to
10:26 am

10:27 am
in several key areas as we add business areas for the consideration of approving those rates changes and the commission is considering approving those and as we change the offering so example as we go beyond the thirty megawatts this is something the commission will look at the pros and cons and i'm hoping but i think october will be the point for getting upcoming the officially launching the program we'll have several that hiss of information considering the business plan second is that we'll have financial performance that shows you how the revenues will cover the expenses we have bans the power solicitation and the risk analysis and request and i don't
10:28 am
think we've requested this the staff present us with the marketing plan and an analysis of the customer offering that will be made to any cca customer if you're a pg&e customer you'll look at the website i'd like to make sure we are we look at that and make sure as a competitive package and that this is available for outreach as well so with that by way of explaining the other changes i'll read the comments from commissioner president caen and commissioner vietor first from commissioner president caen i've been excuse me. i'm truly sorry i'm unable to join everyone it is a sf clean power ford i want to express my comments for the sf clean power for the path to
