Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Funds

Julie Fitch

Energy Division Director

April 22, 2010

Click to edit Master title styleBackground/Summary

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Emergency Funds:

TANF is a block grant program to help move recipients into work, with the aim of moving them off welfare

Under ARRA, an extra $5 billion in emergency funding over fiscal years 2009-2010 will be made available to TANF during the economic downturn

The TANF emergency fund will provide a 4 to 1 match to IOU CARE funds ($4 in TANF funds for every $1 in CARE funds)

The period for using this emergency assistance expires on September 30, 2010, unless extended

(R.)10-02-005, which continues the Commission’s efforts to reduce the number of gas and electric utility service disconnections due to non-payment of bills by improving customer notification and education, required the investor-owned utilities (IOUs) to file Tier 3 advice letters to take advantage of the TANF Emergency Funds

Click to edit Master title styleObjectives of the SCE, SoCalGas & SDG&E CARE/TANFProgram Proposals

Objectives of the IOU proposed CARE/TANF Programs:

Utilize up to a total of $25M towards the Utilities’ bill payment assistance programs

Assist CARE and TANF qualifying families with their past due bill payments to help reduce and avoid service disconnections in the SCE, SoCalGas and SDG&E service territories

The SCE, SoCalGas and SDG&E CARE/TANF programs will closely mirror PG&E’s CARE/TANF program approved by the Commission on April 8, 2010, in which up to $5M in PG&E’s CARE funds would be leveraged with a 4 to 1 match or $20M in TANF funds

Click to edit Master title styleFunding of the CARE/TANF Program

TANF Funds are administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services $5 Billion nationally in TANF Emergency Funds is available over fiscal years

2009-2010; $1.8 billion is available for California Proposed Funding for 3 IOUs’ CARE/TANF Programs

$2 Million of SCE CARE Funds $2 Million of SoCalGas CARE Funds $1 Million of SDG&E CARE Funds $20 Million or four times the amount in TANF Emergency Funds (combined

for 3 Southern California IOUs) Resulting in potentially $25 Million in total CARE/TANF Program Budget

Allocation of Administrative Funds SCE is requesting 15% of total program costs in administrative costs SoCalGas and SDG&E are requesting 15-20% of total program costs in

administrative costs 80% of administrative costs for each utility will be covered by TANF Funds

A09-02-019 Application of Pacific Gas and Electric Company to Implement and Recover in Rates the Costs of its Photovoltaic Program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Alternate Proposed Decision (APD) differs from the Proposed Decision (PD) in the following substantive ways:• The APD authorizes Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to recover the costs of up to 250 MW of utility owned

generation (UOG) solar PV projects through cost-of-service ratemaking treatment. The APD adopts revised operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, and contingency amounts. With regard to PG&E’s O&M costs, the APD find that the cost estimates are reasonable however authorizes PG&E to collect only the actual costs it incurs.

• The APD establishes a minimum performance standard whereby PG&E’s O&M costs will be subject to a reasonableness review should system performance fall, on average, below 80% of anticipated output.

• The APD allows PG&E to pursue some limited number of UOG projects on roof-tops and/or sized less than 1 MW, provided these deployments constitute less that 5% of the overall authorized capacity.

• Although the APD relies on the same competitive solicitation process as the PD for projects undertaken by independent power producers, the APD adopts a different cost cap for projects pursued for the PPA portion of the program.

• The APD encourages PG&E to deploy UOG projects on utility owned land near its substations, however, unlike the PD, it does not require PG&E to file advice letters if it elects to pursue projects on land not currently owned by the utility or near a substation.

• The APD requires independent project developers to make reasonable efforts to pay prevailing wage. • The APD adopts a cost savings incentive mechanism by which realized capital costs savings below an average capital

cost of $3920 per kW over the life of the program are shared between ratepayers and shareholders, with 90% of the savings retained by ratepayers and 10% of the savings retained by PG&E shareholders.

• The APD limits the number of undeployed MW on the UOG side of the program that PG&E may roll forward from any given year to a subsequent year to 10 MW.


Item #36 [9316] Southern California Edison Company's Proposal to Delete Underground Equipment

PROPOSED OUTCOME:• Approves, in part, and denies, in part, Southern California Edison Company’s (SCE)

request to install distribution system terminal equipment (not including wires) above ground and not underground for new line and service extensions.

• SCE’s request is approved for private premises, but is denied without prejudice with respect to public rights of way at this time.

• If SCE wishes to propose amending its rules with respect to above-ground equipment in public rights of way, SCE is required to file an application for that purpose.



Resolution E-4329 (Item 36)

Approves SCE Tariff Revisions that Delete the Underground Option for Distribution Equipment in

Limited Circumstances

Julie Fitch


April 22, 2010

Click to edit Master title styleBackground/Summary

Tariffs 2, 15, and 16 allows SCE to underground certain distribution equipment at the request of an applicant. SCE proposed that future applications only consider above-ground installation.

Currently, tariffs allow an applicant to request the undergrounding of certain distribution equipment (such as transformers, switches, capacitors and junction bars).

The cost of underground placement of distribution equipment is paid by the applicant.

Only 20% of distribution equipment service applications' request underground placement.

Above-ground equipment (pad mount transformers) are already standard for residential areas based on prior Commission policy and decisions.

Maintenance of underground equipment is more expensive than above ground.

Underground equipment potentially posses a larger worker safety issue.

Click to edit Master title styleObjectives of SCE’s Tariff Revision Proposal

Objectives of SCE’s proposed tariff revisions to their Above Ground/ Under Ground Program for distribution equipment:

Reduce difficult installation and maintenance procedures caused by underground installation of distribution equipment in enclosed spaces.

Reduce electric service outages that last longer because it takes more time to locate and repair them.

Reduce the use of complex safety procedures required for underground vault entry, such as hot scans for hot spots and testing for gases.

Eliminate trucking of water or contaminants that collect in underground vaults.

Click to edit Master title styleProtests and Comments

Numerous local government representatives protested SCE’s proposal due to concerns with public access, adherence to local ordinances, and aesthetics

Prior version of resolution was circulated for public comment but remained controversial

The Commission encouraged SCE to address local concerns during a November 2009 workshop in Los Angeles

SCE re-filed a modified advice letter with a more limited proposal in March 2010

New Resolution mailed for public comment; numerous changes and clarifications made in response to comments from local government representatives and SCE

Click to edit Master title styleResolution Conclusions

Resolution E- 4329 only authorizes the modification of tariffs 2, 15, and 16 to delete the option for undergrounding of distribution equipment in the following limited circumstances: New construction for privately owned property (not public

property or public rights of way as defined in Resolution). Change in use or occupancy for privately owned property. On public property or in public rights of way with agreement of

the local public authority on a case by case basis. Tariff changes are effective 90 days after Commission

approval of this resolution. If SCE wishes to propose deletion of underground option

for any other circumstances, a formal application must be filed.

Bill Credit Transfer (RES-BCT) Tariffs

Julie Fitch


April 22, 2010

Click to edit Master title styleRES-Bill Credit Transfer (BCT) Tariffs

Background:

Public Utilities Code 2830, established by AB 2466 (Laird, 2008), requires utilities to establish a tariff which allows local government entities to generate electricity at a primary account and transfer any excess credits to another ‘benefiting’ account so long as both facilities are owned or operated by the same local government.

Eligibility:

Any ‘Local government’, defined as a city and or county, political subdivision, school district, or UC or CSU campus may participate in RES-BCT. Joint powers authorities and state agencies are not eligible.

Click to edit Master title styleStatutory Requirements

Generating systems limited to 1 MW capacity Bill credits are valued at the generation component of the Time of Use

(TOU) rate Benefiting Account must receive service under a TOU schedule Electricity exported by the local government may not be sold Remaining credits are carried over to the next month, but expire at the end

of 12 months Local government must give 60 days advance notice before operation,

within 30 days utility must file an advice letter with the CPUC, CPUC must respond within 30 days

Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) associated with energy remain property of the generators

Statewide, there is a limit of 250 MW allocated as follows: 50% SCE, 48% PG&E, 8% SDG&E

Local government is responsible for metering and interconnection CPUC is responsible for preventing RES-BCT from shifting costs to bundled

service customers IOU is responsible for maintaining transmission and distribution

infrastructure and billing

The three IOUs filed ALs in June of 2009 as follows: By PG&E Advice Letter (AL) 3476-E By SDG&E AL 2092-E By SCE AL 2351-E

Key components of the Advice Letter proposals: Bill credits are calculated based on the time-of-use generation component of the

electricity usage charge of the Generating Account, excluding the Department of Water Resources (DWR) surcharges, if any

Participating generating facilities in PG&E and SCE territories are not allowed to take service under a NEM tariff, this issue is unclear in SDG&E territory

The local government is required to establish allocation percentages and or Benefiting Accounts no more than once per year

Specifically in the case of PG&E, the number of Benefiting Accounts is limited to 50 for each Arrangement to minimize administrative burden

Administration and implementation costs will be covered via monthly fees to the Generating and Benefiting Accounts
