SILICON VALLEY CLEAN ENERGY SVCE 2018 Rates Don Bray, Manager of Account Services
Overview • Due to PG&E’s recently announced 9% increase in generation rates, SVCE rates for 2018 can be maintained at 2017 levels: o $13M+ addition to SVCE operating margin for 2018 o meet original SVCE reserve contribution targets o expand discount for SVCE customers v/v PG&E gen rates to 6+% However, new/emerging regulatory changes will affect SVCE costs, e.g. • Resource Adequacy, Bucket 2 renewables Increases to SVCE rates for 2018 could be considered, to offset impact of • regulatory changes while expanding SVCE generation discount v/v PG&E CD SILICON VALLEY CLEAN ENERGY
Developments to date . . . • SVCE rates originally set to be effective through 2018 unless exceptional market conditions warrant changes sooner • As of August, projected 2018 PG&E gen rates by 1½%, PCIA by 16% SVCE 2018 rate reductions of ~6% required to save 1% v/v PG&E o $14 million reduction in SVCE operating margin factored into 2018 budget o • As of December, projected 2018 PG&E gen rates by 6%, PCIA by 14% SVCE 2017 rates would average ~3% below PG&E in 2018 o BOD evaluated multiple rate change options – favors ‘Min 3%’ approach o Restores SVCE 2018 margin near original plan, with no gen rate increases o PG&E announces annual rate change postponed until March 2018 o • As of February 2018, actual PG&E gen rates by 9%, PCIA by 11-14% PG&E rates effective March 1 st , SVCE updates effective April 1 st o CD SILICON VALLEY CLEAN ENERGY

Updated Analysis for April 2018 • New rate scenarios required for PG&E increase of 9%, vs. 6% in December • N ew analysis projects ‘Min 5/6/7%’ and ‘All 5/6/7%’ as a range of options • Min 6% more attractive than favored Min 3% option in December • more operating margin for SVCE, more customer savings v/v PG&E • ‘All 6%’ option generates more operating margin than Min 6%, but requires a significant number of rate increases CD SILICON VALLEY CLEAN ENERGY

Changing Financial Context - Supply • Increasing costs for Resource Adequacy • Some/all Bucket 2 renewables may need to be replaced with more expensive Bucket 1 – ramping to $10M annually in 2020 • PCIA proceeding underway; annual PCIA increase typical in recent years • Expand current reserve contribution through rate increases, to offset/cover anticipated increases?
