MEMORANDUM

July 10, 2018

To: Municipal Services Committee From: Gurcharan S. Bawa General Manager Subject: 2018 Power Integrated Resources Plan Progress Update This item is for information only. BACKGROUND: Pasadena Water and Power (“PWP”) has commenced work on the 2018 Power Integrated Resource Plan (“Power IRP”). Pasadena has established and met with the Stakeholder Technical Advisory Group (“STAG”) and published a survey to obtain public input. PWP has been working closely with the Power IRP consultant, Northwest Economic Research LLC and its subcontractor Siemens (“Consultants”), to develop details for the study, a comprehensive list of assumptions and outline the steps for a successful Power IRP. The purpose of the Power IRP is to evaluate and optimize PWP’s long term portfolio of energy supply resources, including energy efficiency and demand response, in order to meet PWP’s load (electricity consumption) requirements during a specified planning horizon. This must be done while balancing various other critical but sometimes competing objectives. For PWP, those critical objectives include:

(i) system reliability (ii) fiscal responsibility (affordable rates) (iii) environmental stewardship, and (iv) sustainability.

Under current state law, as chaptered under Senate Bill 350 (“SB 350”), all utilities such as PWP must prepare a Power IRP, obtain governing board approval, and submit a Power IRP by January 1, 2019. Stakeholder Technical Advisory Group Public input and transparency is an important aspect of the Power IRP development process. In March 2018, the City Manager established the 2018 Power IRP STAG, which includes representation from a diverse group of customers, community members, and city representatives. Figure 1 provides the make-up of the STAG members in 2015 and 2018. These members represent a diverse group of ratepayers and city

representatives, such as small business, residential, environmental advocacy and educational institutions.

Figure 1

Legislative and Regulatory Requirements SB 350, which was signed into law on October 7, 2015, requires that load serving entities with load greater than 700 GWh, such as PWP, develop an IRP by January 1, 2019, and requires updates to the IRP every five years. The SB 350 requirements are in addition to any internal Power IRP recommendations. On September 5, 2017, the California Energy Commission (“CEC”) approved the CEC Publicly Owned Utility Power IRP Submission and Review Guidelines (collectively referred to as the “Power IRP Guidelines”), dated September 5, 2017. However, on April 18, 2018, the CEC incorporated additional requirements in the Power IRP Guidelines. The 2018 Power IRP will incorporate and comply with the requirements of SB 350, as they are laid out in the Power IRP Guidelines. Due to time constraints, it is possible that some items that are not required by SB 350, but discussed by the STAG, may need to be addressed in future Power IRPs or in an Power IRP update, post 2019. The aim of the 2018 Power IRP is to comply with SB 350 and the CEC’s Power IRP Guidelines. Power IRP Process and Best Practices For the 2018 Power IRP, the plan is to focus on the SB 350 requirements and Power IRP Guidelines. Past Power IRPs were developed with other initiatives in mind, such as an assessment of cost effective energy efficiency and community solar programs, as well as enhanced Green House Gas (“GHG”) reductions targets and higher Renewable Portfolio Standard (“RPS”) targets. Since this Power IRP is mandated by law, the priority will be the compliance requirements. Additional assessments will be discussed as part of the STAG, as either a portfolio or scenario. A portfolio is a set of supply and demand-side resources to be evaluated under each scenario. A scenario is a set of

internally coherent and consistent assumptions about key drivers and constraints. The goal of the Power IRP is to select a portfolio that balances reliability, environmental stewardship, sustainability and costs, while also complying with the state mandate. Planning for an uncertain future is an essential component of a robust Power IRP process. At least three scenarios will be modeled by the Consultant, as part of the Power IRP. These scenarios are compliance with a 50% RPS, 75% RPS and a 100% zero emissions scenario. Included in the budget is enough funds to handle up to three additional scenarios, which may develop out of future STAG meetings. The Consultants will use the AURORA production cost model, which allows for electric market price forecasting, resource and contract valuation, power flow modeling (including transmission constraints), modeling regulatory mandates (RPS and GHG emissions requirements, etc.), long term capacity expansion modeling and risk analysis of the energy market. AURORA is a tested model used by utilities across the county, including some Southern California Public Power Agency cities, to assist in long term power supply planning. Timeline and Process Figure 2, below, outlines the process and timeline for the 2018 Power IRP.

SUMMARY STATUS REPORT: Survey and Website PWP’s website was updated in late April to focus on the 2018 Power IRP efforts and requirements, with all past Power IRPs relocated to separate pages. The Power IRP website link is provided here: http://www.PWPweb.com/Power IRP The Power IRP survey is publicly available on the Power IRP website and will assist PWP staff and the Consultants to identify issues that are important to customers and that need additional analysis as part of the Power IRP process. It was announced in the May 3, 2018, City Manager Weekly Newsletter with substantial additional outreach through social media, City Council District Liaisons, the Chamber of Commerce, and other means. As of June 25, 2018, 128 responses have been received. Staff will

present a summary of key results and insights at the July 10, 2018, Municipal Services Committee (“MSC”) meeting. Consultant Efforts To date, the Consultants have developed the Power IRP Outline, Power IRP Assumptions Document, preliminary base case, and have delivered two presentations to the STAG. PWP staff will meet with the Consultants via conference call or in person at least weekly to discuss the current PWP power portfolio. The Consultants are on track to develop a final written Power IRP document by October 2018. STAG Meetings The STAG meetings are instrumental in understanding the needs of customers and the community and feedback from the STAG members will assist PWP on the Power IRP development process and analysis. Thus far, three STAG meetings have been held:

1. April 11, 2018. Staff presented background presentations on the Power IRP Requirements, Energy Markets and the STAG Roles. Staff also introduced the Power IRP survey to the STAG members and obtained valuable feedback used to improve the content of the survey.

2. May 31, 2018. The Consultants introduced the modeling approach for the IRP and data assumptions.

3. June 18, 2018. The Consultants presented a preliminary base case, which shows compliance with SB 350.

Next Steps Staff is currently working with the Consultants to finalize the base case, which represents the least cost plan to comply with the SB 350 mandate. While not intended to be the adopted resource plan, the base case represents the standard against which other portfolios will be measured for incremental cost, stability, reliability, and environmental benefits. Subsequent to finalizing the base case, additional scenarios will be developed to incorporate a range of environmental goals, changing regulatory and market factors, to name a few. Community meetings are currently being scheduled to inform and gather input from PWP customers and other interested members of the community. Staff will also provide updates to the Environmental Advisory Commission and the MSC as the Power IRP development progresses. The Power IRP website has been updated to include these additional meetings listed below:
