How does Community Choice Energy (CCE) Operate? (cont’d)

•All customers are “in” the CCE program
unless they actively “opt out.”
•CCEs design customer rates and have
greater flexibility than IOUs.
•CCEs acquire public funding for customer
efficiency and assistance programs.
•CCEs typically buy more renewable power.
•CCEs have greater regulatory flexibility than
IOU on buying power.
•CCEs receive customer revenues from IOU, pay
off operating expenses, retain net revenues.
•CCEs can still work with
IOUs to develop reliable
electric grids in their
communities.

Recommended Next Steps
Our Team is working with multiple cities in the Inland Empire on CCA
We are asking cities of their interest in exploring CCA through an RFQ for multiple cities
◦RFQ seeks a consultant “partner” to continue guiding cities about CCA
◦If “Go,” cities work with partner on CCA; if “No Go,” end of investigation
◦Includes technical feasibility study for all cities interested
◦No financial commitment by cities for study, on moving forward, or on how to work together –all TBD
Multiple possibilities for Inland Empire City to lead RFQ investigation
◦Cities may simply request of the RFQ-lead city to be included in an investigation
◦Investigation will determine CCA economic viability using the data from SCE
◦Investigation will describe options for financing, starting and operating a CCA
