...Recommendations
Adopt a resolution:
(a) Amending San José Clean Energy’s (SJCE) rate and service options as follows (Plan A) beginning January 1, 2022:
(1) Increasing the renewable energy content for SJCE’s GreenSource standard service to 60% and continuing to set rates at 8% above Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) generation rates after accounting for the Franchise Fee Surcharge and the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA);
(2) Increasing the renewable content for SJCE’s lowest-cost service GreenValue to 40% and continuing to set rates at parity to PG&E generation rates after accounting for the Franchise Fee Surcharge and the PCIA;
(3) Continuing to set rates for TotalGreen, SJCE’s 100% renewable energy service, at $0.005 or $0.01 per kilowatt-hour above GreenSource, depending on rate class; and
(4) Amending the rate for the SJ Cares program, which is open to California Alternate Rates for Electricity and Family Electric Rate Assistance customers, to 5% below PG&E generation rates after accounting for the Franchise Fee Surcharge and the PCIA while continuing to provide SJ Cares customers with GreenSource renewable content.
If there is a delay in the implementation of PG&E’s rate change and PG&E’s PCIA change:
(b) Amending SJCE rate and service options as follows (Plan B) beginning January 1, 2022, provided that SJCE adopt Plan A as soon as is practically reasonable after PG&E’s rate change and PCIA change are implemented:
