pg&e's brown power rate. the issue with the shell contract is that whether we like it or not, the local buildout that we all want is no longer tied to the small phase 1 part of the program. it's no longer tied to the shell contract. so, the reality is now that the shell contract is going to have competitive rates if the sfpuc sets competitive rates next week, now that it's going to have competitive rates, the advocates are not concerned that there is going to be a large opt out of the program. after the shell contract is underway, as long as there's no large opt out, that's when we start building this next phase. when you get into phase ii and we do the buildout. and as commissioner wald rightly points out, that buildout is not going to happen unless we -- you as a commission, you as a department, we as advocates, make sure that the sfpuc and the board of supervisors does it. and under ab 117, the 2002 law passed for community insurance aggregation, i want to reassure you, and this can be done, if the sfpuc ends up not doing the program we want, the board of supervisors is empowered by that law, ab 117, to get a

pg & e product and our less expensive product. the response i got with the local component, because i think this is significant to air. >> so you would like for me to -- so, to me it's a lot of difference between pg & e and our program. one of the significance is opt out versus opt in. for me is the focus for a lot of people in the audience is to look at san francisco build out. so that means job opportunities. so that was sort of what our focus was putting our program together. as it relates to pg & e, they are also committed to local build out but local may mean within their service territory. i think that's a difference. and i can't speak to their plan or where they plan locally. it could be in san francisco or outside of san francisco. >> thank you. >> i would like to add that as you all know the staff conducted numerous customer surveys about how residents might feel about this program and whether they would want to participate, and when the rate was over 14 cents, we had positive response rates between 50 and 72 percent -- in a large portion of san francisco. and with a lower rate we'll get an even better response from the community
