A primary objective for offering a green power program is to enhance customer’s satisfaction by giving them the opportunity to participate in funding renewable resources. The green power rate schedules will apply to customers who choose to participate in buying green power as part of the City of Palo Alto Electric Utility’s portfolio. CMR: 121:00 Page 1 of 6 RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the City Council approve: o The proposed Green Power Program. Adoption of a resolution to establish Green Power Rate Schedules E-l-G1, E- l-G2, E-l-G3, E-2-G1, E-2-G2, E-2-G3, E-4-G1, E-4-G2, E-4-G3, E-7-G1, E- 7-G2, and E-7-G3 effective April 22, 2000. , ~ BACKGROUND , .~. The City of Palo Alto Electric Utility (CPAU) purchases approximately 73 percent of its electricity through the ~West~nh~Area Power Administra~i6n (WAPA), 10 percent from the Calaveras hydroelectric plant; and 17percent on the market. WAPA generates most of its power from hydro-generation units and purchases the remaining electricity requirements on the market. The power purchased on the market may consist of energy generated by a mixture of resources including fossil fuel and nuclear. On an annual basis, about 60 percent of the total CPAU portfolio is from existing large (defined as greater than 30 megawatts) hydroelectric resources. Because of the large size of the hydro-generators supplying Palo Alto’s current electric mix,. the electricity produced does not qualify as green power according to the California Energy Commission (CEC) classification system. The CEC has deemed only hydroelectric facilities of less than 30 megawatts to be green by claiming that small facilities produce less environmental damage than large ones. According to the CEC classifications, green power is electrical energy generated from, but not limited to the following sources: wind, solar, geothermal, landfill gas recovery, biomass or small hydroelectric, less than 30 megawatts. Furthermore, the CEC classifies green power into three categories: 1) existing green - resources, which were built before California deregulation.rules were written in 1996, 2) new "green resources, which were built after 1996, and 3) future green resources, which are not yet built. DISCUSSION Many residential and some commercial customers have indicated a preference to purchase CMR: 121:00 Page 2 of 6 green power from CPAU. With the Customer Information System (CIS) on line, staff proposes to launch a Green Power Program in Pal. Alto. The objectives oftl~s program are: To enhance customers’ satisfaction by allowing them the choice to participate - in buying green resources. 2.To raise the level of customer loyalty by creating popular choices. 3.To improve the natural, environment by promoting renewable energy resources. The proposed Green Power Program will allow customers to have a choice of buying renewable energyfor a portion of their energy use. The program_.will target residential customers but will also be available for non-residential participants. A Utilities Green Power Team with responsibilities from rates, marketing, competitive assessments and supply resources divisions, was formed to develop a green power program. Staff evaluated several green power portfolio mix options of future and existing green resources. Four of these mixes were further analyzed to choose the mix which would best satisfy the above objectives. The four options were: 1)5 percent future green resources and 95 percent existing green resources. This has the lowest cost to the customers but it has the least impact on the development of green resources. 2)25 percent future green resources and 75 percent existing green resources. This mix has a moderate cost to the customers but minimal benefit for the advancement of green resources. 3)50 percent future green resources and 50 percent existing green resources. This has a moderate cost to the customer and will provide a well-balanced contribution to the development of new green resources. 100 percent future green resources. This has a high cost to the customer but also provides greatest contribution to the development of green resources. Staff recommends a green power program composed of three options: 1) Future 25, with 25 percent future green resources and 75 percent existing, green resources, 2) Future 50, with 50 percent future green resources and 50 percent existing green resources, and 3) future 100, CMR: 121:00 Page 3 of 6 with 100 percent green resources. Offering three plans balances the objectives of offering competitively priced and marketable products with producing new environmental benefits. This combination of low and high priced green resources will allow staff the flexibility in procuring resources while achieving the program goals and objectives. Resources may include small hydroelectric, geothermal, wind and landfill gas. Staff estimates participation in the first year between 2 and 4 percent of the residential and small commercial customers or approximately 460 to 920 participants. Total participation over the five-year period is projected to reach 1,000 or 5 percent. These estimates are consistent with customer research and participation rates for green products offered by other power marketers and municipal utilities. A recent customer survey indicated that about 50 percent of the customers surveyed would like to buy more g~een energy from Palo Alto. However, market research conducted by energy organizations such as the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), indicates that in cases where 50 percent of customers say they want green power, only 2 percent of the customers actuall3? participate. Green power market share represents 2 percent of the state electricity market. Customers who choose to participate will sign an application requesting service under the applicable green power rate schedule. The Green Power Program will be evaluated annually for participation and effectiveness. Renewable resources are highly dependent on nature and weather conditions. Staff will use its best effort~ to meet customers’ demand for green energy; however, the success of the program will depend mostly on how many customers will participate and how much revenue will be collected to buy renewable energy. BOARD/COMMISION REVIEW On January 5, 2000, staff presented its proposal to the Utilities Advisory Commission (UAC). Staff’s proposed a green power program composed of 50 percent future green resources and 50 percent existing green resources. However, when the proposal was presented to the UAC, the commissioners encouraged staff to offer more than one option. Consequently, staff changed the original proposal in order to recommend three options. RESOURCE IMPACT The proposed portfolio mix plans will result in different additional price premiums. Future 25 plan will have a premium of $0.012 or a 25 percent increase per kilowatt-hour (kWh); Future 50 plan will have a premium of $0.020 or a 41 percent increase per kWh; and Future 100 plan will have a premium of $0.034 or a 70 percent increase per kwh for the residential customer. However, to price this green product competitively, staff is proposing CMR:’ 121:00 Page 4 of 6 to use some of the public benefit funds to offset the high cost of the three programs. Such use of these funds is consistent with the guidelines for public benefit programs. Power marketers offering green products outside municipal utility territories are currently using the public benefit funds to subsidize green pricing products. If their portfolio meets minimum California Energy Commission (CEC) requirements, green products are eligible for a public benefit credit of $0.015 per kWh. The CEC provides the credit to encourage the development of green power. Approximately $125,000 over 5 years or $25,000 annually is projected to be paid from public benefits funds, assuming 2 percent residential customer participation. If participation in the program becomes greater than 2 percent, staff will request additional public benefits funds. Using public benefits funds will reduce the price of the green program to $0.008, $0.016, and $0.03 per kWh, for each plan respectively. Future 25 will result in an average bill increase of $3 or 12 percent, Future 50 will result in an average $7or 30 percent increase, and Future 100 will result in an average $15 or 61 percent increase foi a residential customer who uses 500 kWh a month. The most recent customer survey indicates that this increase is within_the range that customers in Palo Alto are willing to pay. The premium charged by other energy providers for green power offered, depending on the type of green programs offered, ranges between negative $0.00125 and $0.040 per kWh. Exhibit (1) shows green bill comparisons for a customer in Palo Alto with other customers who participate in green power programs offered by other energy providers. Customers who choose not to participate are not impacted. POLICY IMPLICATIONS This recommendation that Council approve the offering of a green power program and the rate schedules does not represent any change to existing city Policies.
