is r. my name is debra alvarez rodriguez. i'm the deputy director in san francisco. my background is one in which

i have spent the entirety of my life committed to finding solution to poverty and addressing the issues of inequity so people and communities can have accesses to resources and financial freedom. one thing true anode dear to my heart was the power of business ownership in creating pathways to financial freedom. we have still in infancy. we had over 100 entrepreneurs come and start their businesses. some are food trucks. some are restaurants. some are in farmer's markets and so farther. that's an incredible legacy and record to build upon. this was the perfect opportunity for me to come back home, you know, come back to the neighborhood and take my skills and networks and resources and put it backseat in service of the community. given everything with racial

reckoning and pandemic it was time for me and everyone else that had the opportunity to leave and get educated to come back home. we have a opportunity to grow our impact in terms of the number of people we serve and how we serve them. we grow our impact in taking the money we make with our entrepreneurs and circulate those resources back interview the community for community development. the third thing is we have a opportunity to have an impact on public policy in terms of the policies and practices the district has been notorious about interms of inequities. all of those are just the beginning of what is possible in terms of growth and impact. ♪ [ music ] ♪♪ >>

>> shared spaces have transformed san francisco's streets and sidewalks. local business communities are more resilient and our neighborhood centers are more vibrant and lively. fire blocks and parking lanes can be for seating and merchandising and other community activities. we're counting on operators of shared spaces to ensure their sites are safe and accessible for all. when pair mets, firefighters and other first responders arrive at a scene, they need clear visual access to see the building entrances, exits and storefront windows from the street. that means parklets should be transfer in the areas above inches above the sidewalk level. it's best if these areas are totally unobstructed by transparent materials may be okay. you can check with fire department staff to make sure your site meets visibility

requirements. emergency response crews and their equipment need to be move easily between streets, sidewalks and buildings, especially when they are using medical gurneys, ladders and other fire fighting tools. that means that parklet structures need a three foot wide emergency feet every 20 feet and 3 feet from marked parking spaces and emergency access gaps need to be open to the sky, without obstructions, like canopies, roofs, or cables and should always be clear of tables, chairs, planters and other furnishings. emergency responders need to use ladders to reach windows and roofs to buildings and the ladders need unobstructed overhead clearance and room to be placed at a 72-degree angle against the building. clearances needed around the ladders to move equipment and people safely up and down. so not all parklets can have roofs ask canopies depending on the width of the sidewalk in your area. please

make sure that your electric cables are hung so they are out of the way and (indiscernible) to the structure, they can be pulled down by firefighters. cable connections need to be powered from an outdoor reciprocal in the building facade because hard wire connections are much more difficult to disconnect quickly. these updates to the shared spaces program will ensure safety and accessibility for everyone, so we can all enjoy these public spaces. more information is available at sf dot gov slash shared spaces. the meeting come to order welcome to the meetingly of the lafco commission. i'm vice chair jackie field and

environmental and economic voice. we are part of the reclaim our power utility justice campaign. we have a slide deck? >> yes. i can share it now. one second. >> i will get started. thank you lafco commission members and lafco execute arive officer pollock for holding this hearing. the san francisco based environmental justice organization. has been active with reclaim our power utility justice campaign because we recognize the deadly failures and corporate malfeesance of pg and e and the need for accountability. most catastrophic impacts of pg and e failures has been the destructive wild pyre this is

causeded damage to land and property but deaths. pg and e killed over a handled people. and one the 2018 camp fire and the speaker says their negligence destroyed a communities paradise. >> pg and e failures cost all of us as customers. their so called public safety power shut off put vulnerable the elderly, disabled. the medically vulnerable at the highest risks. it is clear instead of invest nothing public safety the -- utility priorities are their investors. also rates have escalated because of the corporate actors passed their billions of wild fair mittgation costs to the

rate payors. members that latin x families in san francisco who have been affected by the covid-19 pandemic have been hard hit by the rising bills. all this while pg and e boss got a pay package of 20 million dollars in 2021. >> besides hurting our pocket book pg and e failures hurt our health. we remember the day in 2018 looking at the sky and thick smoke due to the fires caused by the corporations lack of taking care of equipment. and obviously that is huge public health impacts given amongst the most vulnerable given the air quality occurrence. also all of you are familiar with the delays that we

experienced in san francisco because of pg and e costly dragging of their feet on public projects from affordable housing, parks and other community space. this kinds of corporate behavior indicative of -- pg and e approach to servicing the region. >> basically what we are here to say is point out there is a huge lack of accountability. the state whether it is the office of energy infrastructure safety or the cpu c, they keep approving this investor utility mitigation plan and safety certificates. all this fires of destruction continue to happen. >> and therefore obviously we need the governor to act. you will hear in the moment about the state auditor's

report. from -- spring of the past year criticized the state's inability to address the failures we appreciate of san francisco leadership not only in pointing out pg and e's inadequacies and calling the corporation and the govern to task to bring about real change. we are here to ask lafco to ask the board of supervisors to act on the state auditor's recommendation and demand accountability from pg and e. of the >> thank you. >> thank you. antonio and the reclaim our power coalition. we will take questions after the following presentation. they work always, thank you for your help and we are lucky to hear directly from the

california state auditor. staff and the california state auditor's office. senior auditor and john klein to present on the audit of the safety and oversight safety oversight of investor owned utilities. thank you bothed for being here to present. keep your presentation to 10 admissibilities and commissioners will have questions at the end. >> over to you. >> good morning. i'm john klein i was project manager for the auditor report on electrical system safety. i'm joined by aaron fellner and we are here to describe the audit related to the california utility's commission. office of energy and safety and california sick investor on utilities. there are 3 main issues from that report we like to highlight today. first the investor owned utilities have 40,000 miles of power lines in areas great

threat for wild fires. the utilities use power shut off 67 times. from 2013 through 2021 asciiing millions of customers. the agency's process don't hold utilities sufficiently accountable. we like to encourage to you look at other findings in the report on the website. and graphic we created so you review whether there are bare, covered or under grounds distribution lines in your neighborhood. aaron was the lead on the project and describe details about the state of california's electrical grid. >> thanks, john. >> so i will describe the state of the electric at grid and the improvements that can be made to lower risk of wildfire and power shut offs. 75,000 miles of distribution lines in the state are located in high fire threat areas. those are areas by cal fire and

the cpu c to be extreme risk of wildfire and 50% of miles are bear power lines they are a concern they are less effective than other power lines preventing issues that cause sparks and half of fires reported the last 5 years caused by power lines coming in contact with vegetation. now there is a number of improvements they make to the grid to reduce the risk wildfire. first thanksgiving managed is under grounding. utilities estimate it cost 3 million dollars per mile. and installing covered power line system another managed that cost 700 thousand dollars per mile. utilities slow to make improvements. in 2020 they had 1500 miles of power lines. they don't report where they conducted that work. we don't know if that was in the

areas of highest fire risk. if it was this would institute 4% of bare line in thes high threat areas. because replacing power lines represents a huge cost. we focused to ensure they are targeting the high risk areas. and one way of identifying areas that need to be approved is look where utilities shut off power in the past. that really shows where the lines are on risk of wildfire. there was 67 power shut offs from 2013 to 21. deenergizing thouz know arounds of circuits. of the individuals lost power for upon 37 hours and april 270 circuits experienced 3 our more power shut off in thes same year. over 85 mores of the power shut off in high fire threat areas. now our report did not recommend power shut offs as a tool we

reported after 15 power shut offs and found in in 11 of the reports, they described wind damage and vegetation coming in contact with power lines could caused an ignition had the power not been shut off the damage illustrates hardning in the areas to prevents the need for power shut offs when weather conditions occur again. >> state law requires utilities to identify circuits during power shut offs and the measures utilities have taken or plan to take to reduce the need in the future. >> based on the impacts i described our report recommended the law change to require utilities to identify in the plan improve ams necessary to prevent power shut offs on deenergized lines. we recommend to prevent power shut offs not just reduce the need. >> several reported than i

anticipaterousing the number of power shut offs in the coming years. this decrease may be legalityed utilities adjusting settingos equipment rather than improvements to the power grid x. that brings us to utilities altering unplanned outages to reduce the likelihood that vegetation causing a fire in concern conditions and locations. utilities alter settings so the power is not turned on after a default this . is effective but has adverse impact on the communities inform 2021pg and e triggered 600 outages affecting sick00,000 people occurred with no notice and affected an average of 1 thousand customers per outage for 17 hours in duration. and unlike planned shut offs

customers receive no notice of the outages before their power is interrupted. although this may be an effective method but there is no requirement utilities identify the lines that are affected boy the unplanned outages or address how they will reduce the need going forward. that is why our report recommended the law change to include circuits as a result of power set being measures and that this would expand the scope of the law to include shut offs and equipment settings that trig are unplanned outages. now i will turn over to john to discuss the reports other findings and recommendations. jools we had a number of concerns with the oversight mechanisms that apply to investor owned utilities. concerns with cpu c audit process. they conduct audits of equipment to ensure that the utility is

complying with general orders and this should be an important part of cpu c's oversight. we found 3 problems with their use of the audits. first, cpu c does not audit all districts consistently it audited fewer than 70% of power line districts the last 5 years and secondly, did not audit several districts that contain elevated or extreme fire risks. notablely the last 5 years they did not audit the district where the camp and dixie fires start. they state use risk factors audits but could not provide evidence of how it prioritized the district its did review. third we found they don't penalize use when audits uncover violations. they have never issued a penalty as a result of an audit. indicates that it only issues penalties through investigation process and significant issues when individuals were hurt or

killed or buildings destroyed. alternate they have found same issues through audit its penalized utilities for after investigations penalties don'ts increase the compliance. however, if they are useful when a person or injured or dies or building burns down it is not clear why they are not useful when they find problems before the disaster occurs. we recommended the legislator require the cpu c to do 2 thing. first impelement a better audit plan and second, a schedule of penalties for violations identified through the audits and impose those penalties. we reviewed the energy safety office approval of mitigation plan and safety certifications. activities related utility wildfire mitigation transitioned from cpu c to office of energy infrastructure safety in july of

2021. because the staff and responsibilities other same we refer to both activities conducted at cpu c and the new office as energy safety. one of the energy safety office responsibility is issuing safety certifications to utilities that dem strit they meet criteria required. having approved wildfire mitigation plan identifying activities utility under take to mitigate wildfire risks is a legal requirement. the law requires the utility impelementing the most recently approved mitigation plan. however, the impelementation of the plan is occurring at the same time the safety certification was injury issued and energy safety cannot assess whether the plan implemented before the safety certification. most critically the state ludoes not include utility impelementation of a prior year's plan criteria for

issuance of the certification. when the office issued the 2020 safety certification. it noted it had concerns about pg sxeshgs implementation of the prior plan. it issued the certification because they met the requirements. we woulded the law be changed to require the safety office conclude that the utility has implemented the prior mitigation plan before it issued a safety certification. >> the review of the 2020 certification issueed pg and e and others found weaknesses in process for issuing them. the energy safety office identified aspects of the 3 largest utilities mitigation plans missing or flued. it approved the plans anyway. the energy safety office issued conditional approvals. is this is a sterile not defined in law. of all 3 utility plans.

the director of energy safety stated they were required to submit remedial plans through ajs was not a condition of approval. the energy safety office advised the process for plans and now requires them to address issues before it approved the plans. if use of approvalless called in question the appropriateness of the plans and safety certifications for 2020. we are happy to answer questions i know it was a lot of material in a short period. let us know if you have questions. >> thank you. i really appreciate it and -- commissioners to put names in the chat if they have questions. i have a question. i hear that the buck stops at the state legislator that is where a lot of this can change. requiring the cpu c to have

higher standards for their audits and obviously robust audits. what has the response been? have you had conversations with the governor about this? >> so we made recommends to the state agencies office of energy and infrastructure and safety and the legislator. in some cases we made our recommendations to the legislator because the -- agency in question indicated they were imposed to making certain changes. we have not had conversations with the governoror. to the best my knowledge there has not been legislation introduced to date. >> this evening >> commissioner williams. >> thank you so much for this presentation. i'm os litting with nausea and

anger. talked about unknown 4% of the changed power lines and the upon 37 hours on average without power. the fires i met members in the community who -- the resilience and what they are up against is astonishing. i wonder are you planning any future at it? >> our work is assigned by joint audit committee. we do follow up on a recommendations so at 60 days and 6 months and a year we request the we made recommendations to provide a response. after the year any recommendations not implemented we obtain a report. so the nature of our primary

follow up the audit committee assigns our work. i'm not aware of any additional if you mean planned at the mobile home. anyone can request through that committee and we will follow had they approve. jools i have a question. >> the penalties that you talk b. how much are they? and on average? off the top of my head the pens this were imposed the result of investigations in some case in the millions of dollars. but i could not tell you for sure when they were. but to date in term it is of penalties and imposed as a result of the audits there have been none. >> thank you. thank you for your questions, commissioner preston? >> thank you, chair fielder and

thank you to mr. klein and fielder for the work on this and the presentation. i am curious about if you can expand a little on the comments around the cpu c not having -- not consistentsly auditing the districts. and i just wondering -- and that also include the high risk areas, what response if any was provided on this? is that lack of resources is that they claimed do those. or other form of methodology there is a method to the approach? what did you get back from them? explaining that? >> so it has been awhile sings the audit. >> i do, absolutely.

thank you. the cpu c maintained that they did have a process by which they evaluated. they were unable to demonstrate that to us. so when we ask for that documentation to show how they would designate high risk and prioritize the auditing they were unable to provide that for us. that's why we recommended to the legislator directly for thome prioritize districts. >> and just i 19unable or unwilling? i'm were they claiming a proprietary or other thing they were barod a privilege or. >> no, no. >> or they refused to turn it over. >> was not they refused they were indicating that what they had done was how they prioritized it. that the way they had conducted the audit was evidence of how

they prioritizing the work. of and so, you know we were unable to see methodology to show why they were selecting certain districts at certain times or go back to a district. >> well, glad to see it. to say -- doing that we can't tell you managed is look how we did it. in the managed and draw your strange, and unsatisfactorily way. >> demonstrates not a lack of seriousness around the prevention side opposed to the

more punishment and response -- side. but and i appreciate the recommendation to have a schedule of penalties and more clarity. i guess i am i do want to clarify one thing to recommend this going forward but i want to be clear on what the existing tools are. well is no actual barrier to them issuing penalties or is there. any reason they could not do this now? and -- it changes necessary. they can do that now >> they have the authority since 2014 to issue penalties. they have not done so. >> for example, cpu c issued a 2.5 million dollars penalty in 2021 for 55 upon,000 violations of a general under. required inspections of distribution poles.

we found they identified the same issues in distribution audits. they identified 200 violations of the same general order in the audits. and 2400. violations in another one but did in the issue penalties. so we were finding the same issues in the investigations and the audits the audits not resulting in any penalties. >> thank you for highlighting that. it is a key finding and recommendation. the same about the other issue upon around the audit what explanation do you get backs why they have not issued if any a single penalty of stemming from an audit? >> the argument was issuing a penalty would not necessarily increase compliance. they did not feel that would have an impact on the agility's

compliance with the general orders we disagreed. and they gave you that explanation in writing or in person. in person i'm curious if they kept a straight face. in writing or person? >> i got it right here. indicated the penalties may be viewed punitive method for gaining compliance but don't ensure an increase in utility compliance. >> all right. that's really like i think -- offensive to anyone in the state harmed by this and anyone who is serious about addressing the issues understandses if you allow business practices that take money to fix to just continue unregulated until the damage and find the -- penalize the company for the actual

damage. they were always continue to not proactively prevent the harm in the first place. it is pretty shocking that anyone in an agency would will suggest that penalizing people based on problems in safety audits does not help protect and safety and prevent damage of i appreciate the you all spelling that out and thank you for your work. >> thank you. commissioner preston thank you mr. fellner and kline for your work and presenting here at lafco i appreciate it. >> at this point we will hear from mar frereclaim our power. thank you for joining you have 5 minutes to present. >> thanks, commissioners. it san honor to be here and to hear directly from the state auditor's office as well as

leadership from the san francisco antonio and [inaudible]. i do have slides. can this be pulled up? yes. i'm sharing here. >> i share commissioner williams nausea and anger and commissioner preston's shock. reclaim our power is near low 90 organizations and we other people who are surviving these fires and the shut offs. it pollution and then the rate hikes and so much this is has real impacts for people and health. we are looking how to ghet out of this mess that created by pg

and e. and -- seemingly not -- held accountsable by the agencies that are supposed to. so -- i'm here to present why we think lafco has a role. in -- getting [inaudible] and studying alternative to pg and e. from last march auditor report haplodiplonticed since in we see the massive failureos all levels of pg & e? the legislator passed sb84 thursday 100 billion for pg and e sketchy under grounding plan add over time will get to an additional 400 a year increase on customer bills who's rates just went up 30% in the last couple years through 2022. the cpu c removed pg & e from

the one of the mechanisms for over site and enforcement. and removed them from that process with no action on the fires wildfires. and just last month pg sxeshgs fired safety workers the workers that are trying to prevent trees

from hitting lines. all that stuff they fired thousands after they were let out of probation. then the wildfire mitigation plan that is supposed to mitigate fires, but through you know planning they pass it again despite the massive failures and rather than funding community microgrids governor newsom cut the solar tariffs folks depends on to like pay for solar system and lawmakers voted to keep diablo nuclear power plant opened committing us to the dangerous form of energy. >> what we are seeing is the very top governor newsom let's pg and e off the hook. reclaim power campaign tart in the 2020 and this is the major moves we have seen like -- govern newsom not commit to changing pg & e. in 2019 passing ab1054 this is where the safety certificates the sham process come from and bail out legislation in 2020. newsom promises but enabled them to return to exit that bankruptcy. no big change in 2021 the

wildfire plan approved by the governor and the cpu c despite 60 document failures as odd tors report was setting as well and last year pg and e and office of energy. to keep them in operation. next slide. so, how do we get out of this mess? so reclaim our power has been trying to figure out how far we, we -- get out of a corporate monopoly. senator jerry hill offered the state golden state energy and 350 was a plan b if pg and e fail today e merge from

bankruptcy or failed again to operate the gas and electric services in a safe and reliable manner. golden state energy has been collecting dust when we could try to figure out how to create a replacement for pg sxeshgs and the next slide. where san francisco come in. we need to make golden state energy a reality and that we are asking you all to take that leadership with the board of supervisor for an alternative utility with needs at the center. you could we are asking to you recommend a study golden state energy act and how it can benefit san francisco's grid. because we continuing is time to have the rest of the service territory the municipalities can -- can -- get better

service. get become safe and actually put energy in the hands of the people. next slide? >> and so antonio talked about the san francisco puc report we know this pg & e is preventing affordable housing from being built. they are preventing health facilities from operating because as we reclaim our power and energy folks are saying energy is a human right and should not be privately owned. because there are things we need to live that are powered by electricity and so the our energy system and our utilities should be in the hands of the public. not the wall street folks who control pg and e and this we

cannot change their ways. and so i just you know, i am new to who life lafco is but you were created through voters and residents who wanted to create a municipal utility district. that have been prevented from doing so. we think that is pg and e is a barrier but think you can still pursue your mission. you tried wrestle your way out of their strangle hold offer to buy out the grids. we think that san francisco's freedom from pg and e can liberate other municipalities and customers that suffer under pg and e. so, we think that -- san francisco is probably the most powerful city in pg and e service territory. can help us the rest of us

accomplish this move for alternative utility under and we can do that under the law under golden state energy. >> and yea. reclaim our power. >> hear when we are organizationed and willing to partnerow in that path way to succeeding pg and e. thank you. >> thank you. i really appreciate your work and everyone in retlaim claim our power's work to keep drumming on this. you know, pg and e as you said, it is headquartered i believe in san francisco. just blocks down from me. here in mission. and -- i do want to look at you think about pg and e and

decarbonization separate issues here dealing with the cca. i'm seeing increaseingly in the city and supervisor ronen lead a hearing on this almost a year ago. is that pg & e is holding up dozens of projects. having the housing and schools and having to do with the different, important infrastructure projects. and holding up a lot of progress in decarbonizing our buildings. you know -- they are requiring ridiculous amounts of transformers across the city like enough housing transformers. this is an issue with the city attorney and a lot of progress made. in the courts related to perk and you know -- [inaudible].

but pg & e is -- as a distributor of our power a crucial aspect to decarbonizing our city. and so i want to say, thank you for your work and -- i'm curious to hear if others have questions or anything they want to share. commissioner williams. >> i think i don't have to ask anymore questions. just -- thank you it --s these things are an uphill battle and

appreciate your resilience in this and the work you do and bringing this forward. i look forward to seeing you again. that's all. thank you. >> thank you, commissioner williams and commissioner preston. >> thank you, and i think my colleagues have summed it up. i will not repeat what but i do thank all folks involved in reclaim our power and other activists who are continuing to push. these fights that are so long-term against entrenched inaction by many state leaders. are the hardest fight there is is not the -- until there is the fire or the price gouging or the shut offs or thing that gets peopleup set in the moment rightfully so, can be harder to

organize around the longer term infrastructure changes that lafco is committed to. i'm sure i speak for other in saying that we welcome your engagement with lafco staff. and appreciate your activism very much. >> thank you. commissioner, preston. are there can we open public comment and members of the public feel free to lineup upon to share thoughts on this item. >> thank you. if there are members of the public had would like to comment on item 4, dial star 3 to be added to the queue. for those on hold continue to wait until you have been unmuted. we have 6 callers with low in the queue. mr. lamb can you forward the first caller? >> hi. i'm shanea and i cemetery the

reclaim our power campaign. thank you to lafco and the state auditors for and reclaim power to shed light on the critical issues presented on today. reclaim power raising issues with pg and emitgation plan and safety certificate for over 2 years. neither process leads to safety and the includers in energy safety apointed by the governoror have not done enough. seeing the certains echoed by life landfall and the staid auditor gives me hope to finding a solution for the pg and e problem. golden state energy act to allow near receivetory take over pg and e creates not for profit alternative who we know prioritizes share hold and profits over safety. the time for asking pg and e to change is over. time for a new utility to serve

and break the monopoly on the energy system. and allow localities like san francisco to implement solution toes meet the needs of our communities in the safe compounding climate and economic crisis. vote yes on the resolution asking the governoror to follow the recommendations of auditor's report and allow lafco to feel study golden state energy and what impacts would be on san francisco. thank you. >> thank you. next caller. i'm brian employmented to thank the commission for work. it is obvious you care about san francisco rate payors and [inaudible] and appreciate the [inaudible]. pg and e raised rates 20% the last 2 years. 18% this year and what tell do?

they will pay back dividends. really, what they care about is wall street and do the catch up. you know they tried duck and cover and we will if i can everything. but had they get a chance all the money goes from california and san francisco to wall street that is wrong. thank you. >> thank you for sharing your comments next speaker, please. >> good morning commissioners. i'm eric brooks with the local grass-roots organization our city san francisco and the state wide coalition california for energy choice. i wanted drill down in more specifics about hat solution would look like. so, golden state energy i think the best fit for this to allow local communities to be better for their local community on

local benefits is for the state to just take over the [inaudible] the state take over the wires pg and e owns and would still leave in place a local community choice programs and municipality utiliies like in sacramento and allow communities in the 40 to do either with the state controlling the wires. it is like the pg and e wagz now where local communities do municipal or community choice. and that way, if the state takes over the scombiers it does in the do what it takes to help local communities do microgrids and protect communities and make sure renewables in communities and all the local benefits, the law would allow local approximate upon communities to do it themselves x. that would make it so we can do a mublg faster sack sag was the last city that did municipal utility under pg and e had to fight them

in court for 20 dwroers get control of the wires. we need to build clean energy before we can't be in a battle with them in court for 20 year before we build local clean energy and microgrid network. that is what that would look like and we did a coalition did propose this to the state awhile ago but did in the take it up. that's and we can do that on the ballot if the legislatedors will not do it and very likely will not a lot most of them are bought by pg and e, frankly. i wanted to put out there. and another key solution regardless of the state level is to pursue the local build out of a clean energy network that i sent you an all right about that was signed by 18 organizations. we need that plan to move forward this year. and00 eye will be contacting you all in the future about getting

that rolling. thank you. thank you for sharing your comments. we have 7 callers in the queue with 2 in the speaking queue. next speaker, please. >> hello this is [inaudible] i'm in district 5. i echo everyone's saying and reclaim power. hoping lafco can pass a resolution. to fit their business model is all about really making money. i think this is the highest paid ceo in 202150 million dollars. [inaudible] the whole model from investors to business is trying to save moncompetence not invest in solutions and they raise rates but -- you know the rates

are just going to -- executives or investors and it is in the providing solutions or safety and things will get worse hopefully lafco and the city can step up. [inaudible]. thank you. >> thank you very much. that was the last speaker. >> thank you very much, madam clerk. thank you to the commenters. thank you reclaim our power and sharing your work. really, really thankful for it. and seeing that there are no members in the queue folks in the comment line public comment is closed. of now -- commissioners, there

hen no action to stand up you know, make these audits robust and to fulfill the vision of golden state energy i'm concerned about the impacts on electricity services to san francisco as pg and e still continue its operate the way they are. i would love to make a motion directing jeremy pollock to work on a brief study out lining what would be needed for a comprehensive study of enacting golden state energy and out lining the potential impacts on electricity service in san francisco of transitioning to golden state energy. can i have a second for this motion? >> second. >> thank you commissioner williams. moved by myself and seconded by commissioner williams. madam clerk, call the roll. >> thank you on the motion vice chair fielder. >> aye.

>> member williams. >> aye. >> member preston. >> aye. >> there are 3 aye's. >> great. thank you fellow commissioners. and the item is approved. can you call item 5? >> item 5 the community choice aggregation cca activity's report. members who wish to provide comment on this item call 415-554-0001, access code: 2499 048 6443 ## then press star 3 to enter the speaker's queue. wait until the system indicate it is you have been unmute exclude begin your comments thank you. >> madam clerk we'll hear from general manager clean power sf.

it you can keep your presentation to nenlts that would be much appreciated. >> thank you. chair approximate vice chair fielder good morning lafco commissioners i have a presentation thank you very much. can you see the presentation now? >> yea. as, there we go. great. thank you vice chair fielder. >> once again i'ming mike hinze the department assistant general manager for the puc power enterprise responsible for the cleanpowersf program. before i dive in here first, i

wanted thank you for your last. item in amplifying the state safety odd and i challenges we had with pg and e. i wanted to address the lafco mou we heard at your december meeting. and lafco puc meeting that addressed us on january 10th. at this meeting, puc staff, myself presented the mou with our staff recommendation. that the mou be approved and the commission authorized the general manager to execute the agreement. of during the discussion of the itemful the commission identified areas of concern. and commissioners indicated that they would loishg more time to consider the mou before taking action on it. of so my understanding at this point is there are conversations

on the matter that will determine next steps. of course, we'll continue to stay in touch with the executive officer on this topic and we will -- have more in the future. >> with that i will jump in my presentation with the 10 minute in minds. for the bvenls my update i will cover our service statistics. new cleanpowersf generation rates. activities related our development and operation of customer programs and power supply procurement. our cleanpowersf program continues to successful low serve customers and participation in the program is stable. we seen anup tick in customer opt outs the past year. our opt out rate is now 4.4%. this is rounding to the near ef10th of percentage.

and that's about a 10th of a percent year over year. and -- even though our super green participation rate is 2.1%, that participation and product is increasing, most low due to xhshl opt outs. and most of these opt ups have in in response to the stele's renewable energy ordinance. requires all buildings greater than 500 thousand dollars square feet to take service from a renewable energy product december 21 of 22. the additional commercial customer opt out ups they have not moved that enrollment number too much. they brought a lot of energy usage that has bumped up our projected super green sales to

8% of cleanpowersf retail sales that is up from 6% left year. so -- that is 30% increase year over year. we promote our renewable power products to customers to efforts to comply with the ordinance and we are expecting additional growth in super green participation this year. >> at your last of meet nothing november i reported this cleanpowersf was prepare being a new generation rate for home electrification. for approval by puc commission in january. on. january 10 the puc commission approved the e elect home electrification rate for generation serve. the e elect available to

customers and install electric vehicle charging and energy storage or heat pumping for water heating or space heating and cooling. the rate will compliment or pair with pg sxeshgs distribution rate. required to be implemented by the puc. a portion of pg and e charges replaced with flat fee. >> the new rate employs time of use period and e eliminates the increase above that removes disincentive too use more power. with electrification. >> the puc system adopted rate package on the board for for

review and we participate the rate will start in february. >>. the programs. prepared a summary of the 22 peek day pricing ending on october 21ch. peek day price suggest an upon demand response this incentivizes large commercial customers to ruse electricity consumption 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. on events days in the sum and early fall. >> event days called with the grid will being strained typically due to high temperatures. clone clean the season the end of october earned billed credit to participates customer january bills. this marks the fourth year that cleanpowersf offer third degree program. 36 accounts in the 2022 season. representing a 16% increase. compared to the 2021 season.

>> we called 11 event days during participates reduced electricity usage by 61 megawatt hours. the 2021 season had sick event days with demand reduction of 26.5 megawatt hours 225% increase in demand reduction for less than twice the event days called the poke day pricing continues to grow. and successful low provided demand response from largest customers. this occurred during timeless the grid is strained and green house e missions from electricity production are highest. >> here say snapshot of the other customer offerings. should be familiar table that we shown lafco in the past identifying our operating programs. as well as new programs that we

have under development. we offer net energy metering for customers solar on the roof tops and offer budget billing. for customers looking for table, consistent monthly bills. and solar sf incentives visible for low income customers that install panels. last year launched solar inverter replacement program that replaces the essential inverter component for low income customers that installed solar sf. this helps keep these customers solar projects operating and a strong up tick is in this program. i discussed peek day processing. reported to you in the past about our regional water heater sinltive providing training to contractors to promote heat pump water heaters.

working with partners to extend this program which is set to expire the end of march through to be extended through 2025. so that we continue to noter market for this technology. >> we are also offering our new super green safer program. which provides 100% renewable energy and 20% electric discount to low income customers it state defined disadvantaged communities. and ev charge sf is the newest program for cleanpowersf customers. i spoke about this in november. it is a new construction electric charging incentive program available to hetch hetchy purcustomer and expanded cleanpowersf this month. this is a quick remindser ev charge sf designed aline woman changes in san francisco building code that requires diverse to provide electric vehicle charge nothing new

parking lots and garages. the program provides financial incentives and technical assistance to new and recent construction. subject to the ev readiness ordinance. >> you finds miles an hour information about ev charge sf on our clean energy program page. and finally we work on new programs including our energy efficiency services and disadvantaged communities solar programs. you see our time lines for enrolling customers in the programs. i'm about 10 minute this is is my last slide. wrap up. i wanted provide an update on the key power procurement activities. first is our 2021 request for offers for renewable supplies and stand alone storage. the puc issued that on october

15th. of 2021. and we reported on this previous to lafco and it sought offers of renewable energy splice and stands alone energy storage. the bids were requesting offers of energy capacity and related products from now and existing california renewable portfolio energy resource renewable resources colocated with battery storage and stand alone energy storage. connected to the california iso. high vollage grid. this indicated the puc had a preference for resources operating in the 9 bay area region this solicitation met with challenging market and geopolitical circumstances i wanted to mention to you. that have limited new

procurement opportunities for the program. over the past year market prices for solar panels and equipment have risen dramaticically due to supply chain disruptions from covid-19. higher commodity price s and increased demand for renewable energy and electric vehicles. the supply constranlts and geopolitical unrest the worry in ukrainian and us department of custom's service for tariffs for solar panels susspends the import from asia and increased processes locally. or within the u.s.. all of the factors contributed to extreme uncertainty for the development of renewable energy and battery systems as developers cannot have processing fir equipment. they contributed to requests from developers to reprice

offers in the solicitation. so in response to the conscience staff requests processing and project availability updates. from some of the resource bid in the solicitation. and -- staff completed the evaluation of response received and are moving in negotiation phases for the higher scoring projects this month. the second solicitation to highlight is the 2022 request for offers for renewable energy supplies. in solicitation sought bids for electricity products from new and existing renewable resources and energy storage projects. we were seeking from this offers that could begin to deliver power to cleanpowersf between january first of 2023 to

december 31st of 2028. we are targeting contract execution with projects bid in from this solicitation by june of this year. and lastly, we have additional long-term renewable resource solicitations in development. they will target the procurement of new renewable resource in san francisco. to punishment our super green and safer products and the disadvantaged communities solar program i referred to earlier. we will provide updates on the stats in future reports. this concludes my presentation. happy to take questions you may have. >> thank you. really proernlt in the last slide. cloaks, comments or question sns and while i wait for your okay. commissioner williams. >> thank you very much for that upon presentation i had a few

questions i'm coming down from better scope of the deplorable bhiefr by pg sxeshgs. i wonder i know this silicon valley clean energy offered a 10% discount for the rate. is there a similar discount plan for the middle and low income households? >> thank you for your question. cleanpowersf rates as of the end of december were offering providing a 3% savings to customers on a bill basis. so one important point to make here is sometimes the savings are represented against generation rates. or not prosecute against bills. one thing we tried to do for

cleanpowersf program in communicating how our service the cost of service compares to pg sxeshgs generation is on a bill base i people understands bills. and i make that point i'm not clear if -- the silicon valley reference is to the generation rate or the bill in but as the end of december cleanpowersf offered a 3% services 3% lower cost on a bill basis than pg and e service. that would aplay to the e electorate we proposed to the commission adopted on january 10th. i mentioned the end of december because i think one of the callers on the last y. referenced rate changes. we are in the process of calculating the difference now given pg and e rate changes that occurred this mont. the savings are growing.

is the bottom line. love to hear that. do you know what the enroll am is for the super green safer for disadvantaged community? do you then and there number >> it is approximately 175 customer ash counts now. the program has a capacity of about 1200 total acounts. ficould explain to you how we approached the enrollment in the program. a couple years ago, through cpu c order, pg and e was required to develop and put in place arearage management plan for low income care rate qualified customers who had arears over a certain threshold.

the puc commission authorized cleanpowersf to participate in this program. way it works is -- care am rate custody morse have arrears are automatically enrolled and xafrngs for making monthly payments on current amounts due on the bill for a 12 mont period. the arrears will be waived. the full amount be waived that applies to pg and e deliver and he cleanpowersf generation charges. so, that program rolled out around the same time we were applying to impelement our disadvantaged communities program. so we felt there was a great aline am in the purpose of the programs. so -- we autoenrolled the customers that were amp

customers. into the disadvantaged communities at the time there was a large are number of customers that has declined. that's where the 1 upon 70 come into play. the we are currently promoeth the program for voluntary enroll am. and doing that through various means. but we are finding that the voluntary enrollment is trickling in. one thing we are in the process of doing is looking at expanding the enrollment in the program and a lottery so we autoenroll to the full capacity of the program. sorry for the long explanation it is complicated i hope that helps you give a flavor of that program where it is and when we are doing about it. >> no, no you made it very clear. thank you.

you are not a minds reader. you have any ideas as to why the commission the puc commission would have holdups on the mou? >> well. what i sudden had was said during the commission meeting. the commission i think was grappling with the -- sort of who perform this is work and that our utility in many of the commissioners mind should be upon conducting this work and capable of conducting this work. so i think that was their person that with -- being a significant amount of money, in the context of the whole, of what we demand of rate payors and as well

cleanpowersf needing to be competitive and nimble and fortunate. because it is in a competitive environment with pg & e and the increasing costs to rate payers. that are happening it is bills. of so i think those were the themes i heard from the commission when it discussed the item. >> thank you. thank you commissioner williamsfulit have a couple questions that relate to the e elect. i wondered to qualify for that rate do you have to have a certain heat pump or cooling system? and i wondered if there has been an analysis of how it will might affect low income house holds who is have -- it is rare but i know -- i'm intdz in the impacts

of the e electorates. >> yea. a great question. and to answer the last part, no we have not conducted an analysis on impact to low income customers and there is a lot of interest in this rate as we presents today to rate fairness board and the commission. and we are going to be analyzing this more. you know for example, you know where do we anticipate customer participation in the rate. one thing that is important to point out is it it is voluntary. so, cleanpowersf has a number of rates that -- customers can take our service under. this is a rate intended address hafs a disincentive. for electification on the

distribution side of the rate of the electric service of which had tier rates for more usage. that -- leads to higher bills result of more usage. so -- this rate provides an opportunities for custody norse electrify and add new equipment without that consequence. we -- have very few customers on this rate now. and i should say we are now in an interim basis. it is available. butt rates the commission adopted is the permanent rate. so -- we are. and we will monitor how many customers join. and -- happy to continue to share that information going forward. >> yea.

thank you. i would love to hear an update about how it is going for existing customer its is definitely needed. house holds responsiblesing increased distribution charges. so -- thank you. >> all right. well, seeing no further comments i will put this out for public comment speakers have a minute i apologize it is that commissioner preston has to jump off. madam clerk open for public comment. >> thank you vice chair fielder. members of the public had would like to public comment on item 3 press story 3 to be added to the queue. continue to wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted we have 4 callers with one in the queue. forward the first caller? >> good morning commissioners.

eric brooks with our city and california choice. i want to speak to the mou with the sfpuc. the reality is the sfpuc is conferringive careful about rate and reliability and not does not a good fit for the role of what the lafco is asking to do under the mou. the reality than i have not done this work that we are asking for in the mou and repeatedly refused to do work to study large scale financialsing for clean energy build out that should be in the house of the lafco it is easier to be cutting edge. so that is the importance of this and we can't have the sfpuc commission holding that up. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. checking to see if there are other callers.

there is zero in the queue >> thank you madam clerk. all right. seeing that there are no more callers public comment is closed. thank you director hinze. and now call item 6. >> the executive officer's report. member of the public had wish to comment on this item call 415-554-0001, access code: 2499 048 6443 ## then press star 3 to enter the speaker's queue. thank you. now we will hear from executive officer jeremy pollock the floor is yours.

>> this. jeremy pollock executive officer for lafco. i will keep my report brief here. and i would refer the commission and members of public to the attach am on the agenda for all of this information. and i'm going over the highlight what is is in the report. one thing not included in the report that chair chan asked >> neeha: mention she introduced air resolution to support the lafco pucmou and the request for lafco to keep the oversight on cleanpowersf that would be on the next agenda on the next meeting. an introduction of [inaudible] the month of january walk are woodard will do a policy survey on policy options for promoting electric bikes for delivery

workers. unfortunately the program has conflictos friday. we might have him present by video for the february meeting. one update in the report about the department of environment's pilot program for e bikes for delivery workers is they are about to launch the program and yesterday sent over questions on policy decisionos how to on the implementation plan for that program and around the criteria how toeck select the workers to payment in the program. il full up with to you see if you have feed become on that with the deadline of early february they are asking for us to get become to them on that. the reinvestment working group update includes memo by our colleague. details the time line for the working group and excited see that next month will be presenting the first draft of

the business and governors plans for public bank and the finance corporation. also year in review memo i summarized our activities last year i am send at this time board of supervisors and the puc and then a couple pieces of correspondence that we submitted since the left meeting. commentsos the epa green house gas reduction fund the fund by inflation reduction act we hope the city will access through some our green banking effort and also we submitted an all right of support for new fran department of environment submitted to the d. energy federal doe for expanding the e bike pilot program and lastly the report for calendar for the next few months meetings and interest of time i will leave it there unless you have questions for me.

thank you. >> thank you very much. a lot is going on as always but it is the new year. colleagues do you have questions, put your anymore in the chat if you do. i wanted share that reemphasize the reinvestment working group update a major mile stone will be manage in february as officer pollock said. there will be the plan for the municipal finance corporation. like predecessor to a public bank and -- just yesterday the working group meeting hosted and -- [inaudible] has submitted recommendations ahead of the final business plan. or final draft of them. to recommend things and i -- think upon get my colleagues

copies of suggestions. they range from incorporating recommendations from the task force in the city and also emergency loans for small businesses. as we seat floods we see a need and obviously help from the city in the form of grants to support businesses that are recovering the flooding of the storms ofletly. and ranging to nonfinancial support for communal institutions and small buildingses and venders. these are recommendations of the public coalition that is the reinvestment working group to decide what they ask the consultants. i will stop there, that is a lot. >> all right. no other commentses from my colleagues. madam clerk can we open this for public comment? thank you. members who would like to make

comment on item 6s press star 3. for those on hold continue to wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted we have 4 listeners with one member in the queue. mr. lamb can you forward the first caller? >> good morning again commissioners eric brocks with our city sf and california energy choice. mented add one more thing about a previous item the executive officer will work on that is the communication to the state. about golden state energy and state level public power. it is important that we replace the california public utility's commission with an elected state wide citizen board. and i want to make sure that is part of the mix of the recommendations we send to the state. because obviously, the california public utility commission is trying to under

mine roof solar and other local renewables. we need to do that. on the other item of the puc-mou it is clear that we should no longer depends on the puc or forced depends on them for funding and ask the board of prierzs to directly funds these programs instead of us going beg to the puc to get these things dhn need to be done. thank you. >> thank you for sharing your comments. there are no other speakerless in the queue. >> thank you, in dam clerk. public comment is closed. and can you call item upon 7? >> item 7 is public comment members of public may speak in the purview of commission not ponent to on today's agenda. members of the public who wish to comment dial 415-554-0001 e

housing ordinances which require heat to be maintained. but don't require cooling to be maintained and as we get more and worse heat waves we need laws on the boxes that require cooling in buildings especially people with comp myself immune systems and the eldzerly. i would like to see lafco take that up that is another issue that is close low related to local clean energy bill as well we need to replace gas boilers with electric heating systems that are easier to control the temperature of -- each room so we are better protecting people's health. i wanted energy that issue for the future and hope to see that. thanks. >> thanks for your comments. look for example other callers. there are zero callers in the
