Hi J.R.,
Here you go. We also took care of 3 typos: there was an unneeded comma after ArtsObispo on pg 7, Morro Bay was
misspelled on pg 13, and the year wasn’t complete as well as a missing parens at the very end of pg 13.
Please let me know if you need anything else on this.
Thanks,
Bill

I used the PDF edit document from SLO staff and opened a version 8 of our Word doc and made edits
manually. I did not use track changes.
My apologies for lack of coordination regarding document requests to you. In the future I will call to ask
about how you process our requests.

Hi Marc,

No problem, but do you know where the specific edits are, such as via track changes? Without that input
we either have to comb through it word‐by‐word and compare, or start over with a new formatted doc.
Thank you,

Here are my slight edits in red. We definitely need to keep this messaging consistent so we don’t confuse folks moving
forward. Thanks again,
MBCP procures energy from eligible renewable (wind, solar, geothermal, biogas) and non‐eligible renewable (large
hydroelectric generators) resources mostly within California but also within states associated with the Western Energy
Coordinating Council (WECC). MBCP does not directly procure any resources from fossil fuel power plants but there are
months where MBCP may need to procure additional resources to meet demand from the greater unspecified California
energy mix. On an annual basis, MBCP contracts with enough carbon neutral resources to meet the annual demand of
its customer base. The California Independent Systems Operator balances the majority of the California electrical grid
which does have imported electricity as well as in‐state natural gas plants for reliability and grid stability. MBCP recently
contracted for two solar plus battery storage projects to be built by 2021 with goal of providing additional carbon free
resources on the grid during peak hours of the day to assist in reducing the grid‐wide need for natural gas plants. MBCP
will continue to increase its sourcing from renewable resources on an annual basis in order to continue to meet the
state’s goals as well as ensure a diversified power mix. More information is available at

Hello all,
A few emails that we have received are claiming that MBCP is purchasing natural gas for when solar is not producing. I
have asked the individuals making this claim for the source but have not heard back yet. Is there any truth to this? I
checked their website and did not see any reference to this. I am assuming and hoping this is just part of the
disinformation campaign. If eBay if you have more intel that would be great.
Thanks!

Let’s chat tomorrow. Scott from MB was fine with it and I would have to go back to him to ask if he is okay with the
removal.

This is a normal item that we have used in previous versions. Is there a particular reason why SLO is requesting the
removal and MB has not declined this? Again, this is a joint outreach plan for both cities.

Hi J.R.,
24
Here you go. We also took care of 3 typos: there was an unneeded comma after ArtsObispo on pg 7, Morro Bay was
misspelled on pg 13, and the year wasn’t complete as well as a missing parens at the very end of pg 13.
Please let me know if you need anything else on this.
Thanks,
Bill

No problem, but do you know where the specific edits are, such as via track changes? Without that input

Hi J.R.,
Here you go. We also took care of 3 typos: there was an unneeded comma after ArtsObispo on pg 7, Morro Bay was
misspelled on pg 13, and the year wasn’t complete as well as a missing parens at the very end of pg 13.
Please let me know if you need anything else on this.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
As Marc explained, he made all the actual edits so we just need a reformatted version. Basically, the City
of SLO threw out more edits after months of request on our end.
Please send us the reformatted PDF version tomorrow.

I used the PDF edit document from SLO staff and opened a version 8 of our Word doc and made edits
manually. I did not use track changes.
My apologies for lack of coordination regarding document requests to you. In the future I will call to ask
about how you process our requests.

Hi Marc,
No problem, but do you know where the specific edits are, such as via track changes? Without that input
we either have to comb through it word‐by‐word and compare, or start over with a new formatted doc.
Thank you,

Hi Bill,
Hope this finds you and your team well.
Attached is version 8 of the MB_SLO Community Outreach Plan.
This reflects edit requests from the staff at the City of SLO.
Would you please reformat this document and send it to us by
Monday 3pm ‐ that will allow us to get it to SLO staff by EOB Monday
8/26.
As always, thank you for your assistance!

Subject:RE: Rumor that MBCP purchased natural gas
Here are my slight edits in red. We definitely need to keep this messaging consistent so we don’t confuse folks moving
forward. Thanks again,
MBCP procures energy from eligible renewable (wind, solar, geothermal, biogas) and non‐eligible renewable (large
hydroelectric generators) resources mostly within California but also within states associated with the Western Energy
Coordinating Council (WECC). MBCP does not directly procure any resources from fossil fuel power plants but there are
months where MBCP may need to procure additional resources to meet demand from the greater unspecified California
energy mix. On an annual basis, MBCP contracts with enough carbon neutral resources to meet the annual demand of
its customer base. The California Independent Systems Operator balances the majority of the California electrical grid
which does have imported electricity as well as in‐state natural gas plants for reliability and grid stability. MBCP recently
contracted for two solar plus battery storage projects to be built by 2021 with goal of providing additional carbon free
resources on the grid during peak hours of the day to assist in reducing the grid‐wide need for natural gas plants. MBCP
will continue to increase its sourcing from renewable resources on an annual basis in order to continue to meet the
state’s goals as well as ensure a diversified power mix. More information is available at

Hi Chris,
MBCP’s official response “MBCP procures energy from eligible renewable (wind, solar, geothermal, biogas) and carbon‐
free (large hydro) resources mostly within California but also within states associated with the Western Energy
Coordinating Council. MBCP does not procure any resources from fossil fuel power plants. On an annual basis, MBCP has
to contract with enough resources to meet the annual demand of our customer base. The California Independent
Systems Operator balances the majority of the California electrical grid which does have imported electricity as well as
in‐state natural gas plants for reliability and grid stability. MBCP recently contracted for two solar plus storage projects
to be built by 2021 with goal of dispatching those clean electrons during the peak hours of the day (4‐9 pm) to assist in
reducing the need for natural gas plants. ”

Hello all,
A few emails that we have received are claiming that MBCP is purchasing natural gas for when solar is not producing. I
have asked the individuals making this claim for the source but have not heard back yet. Is there any truth to this? I
checked their website and did not see any reference to this. I am assuming and hoping this is just part of the
disinformation campaign. If eBay if you have more intel that would be great.
Thanks!

Try the following instead.
MBCP buys electricity that meets 100% of annual demand from carbon free resources. Some months, MBCP
sources more carbon free supply than the demand it serve, some months less; annually, it is carbon free on
the net. At all times, however, the western grid has natural gas (and coal) power plants in operation. MBCP is
shaping the future of the grid by helping transition away from these fossil fuel based sources.
As for speaking directly to Mayor Harmon and Council member Gomez, I’ll leave that up to you and them.

Right, that all makes sense. Still need to help Mayor Harmon and Council with a direct answer to – . Does this
work?
MBPC buys electricity that meets 100% of annual demand from carbon free resources. Some months, there is
more carbon free supply than is used, some less; it is carbon free on the net. For those months that are less,
there are times when the grid may have natural gas power plants on it. MBCP is shaping the future of the grid
by helping transition away from these natural gas sources.
If you’d feel more comfortable with talking to Mayor Harmon or Councilmember Gomez directly, I can
coordinate a meeting time with you and them early next week.

Chris/J.R
The statement is inaccurate and the notion that the customer demand in MBCP service area is being met by 100 carbon
free electricity is overly simplistic and technically impossible. MBCP sources sufficient carbon free power to meet the
annual demand of its customers. In fact, for 2018 and likely 2019, the ratio of supply/demand was over 102%, meaning
that we bought more carbon free power than necessary. We should be clear that the balance is calculated on annual
basis, not hourly or even monthly. In other words, during certain month, we source considerably more carbon free
energy than what we use, while in other months, we source less. As long as the annual sourced clean energy equal or
greater than the annual consumed energy in our service territory, then our claim true.
Chris, hope that helps and feel free to have any of the inquiry minds call me directly. Understanding or appreciating the
carbon free concept is not that simple especially for those who don’t understand how the grid works.

In simpler terms, is this accurate?:
1. MBCP estimates how much energy its customers will use over the year; they buy 100% carbon free
resources to meet that projected demand.
2. There are times when MBCP under estimated actual use or when the grid is behaving in unexpected
ways; in those times MBCP has to buy whatever power is available on the market or what CAISO
assigns, which, has traditionally and still means from natural gas power plants.
3. This is an example of how CCE programs are creating the grid of tomorrow, we are moving towards
utility scale batteries to provide the service that natural gas plants used to, which will allow MBCP to
avoid natural gas use, lower costs, and provide access to these resources to other utilities.
In simplest terms, is this accurate?
1. All of MBCP’s procured electricity is carbon free. There are occasions when natural gas power plants
enter the mix. MBCP is actively investing in resources to limit and eventually eliminate those occasions.

free (large hydro) resources mostly within California but also within states associated with the Western Energy
Coordinating Council. MBCP does not procure any resources from fossil fuel power plants. On an annual basis, MBCP has
to contract with enough resources to meet the annual demand of our customer base. The California Independent
Systems Operator balances the majority of the California electrical grid which does have imported electricity as well as
in‐state natural gas plants for reliability and grid stability. MBCP recently contracted for two solar plus storage projects
to be built by 2021 with goal of dispatching those clean electrons during the peak hours of the day (4‐9 pm) to assist in
reducing the need for natural gas plants. ”

We will also be developing and updating our FAQ and talking points for the SLO & MB council in case similar questions
like these come up.

Hello all,
A few emails that we have received are claiming that MBCP is purchasing natural gas for when solar is not producing. I
have asked the individuals making this claim for the source but have not heard back yet. Is there any truth to this? I
checked their website and did not see any reference to this. I am assuming and hoping this is just part of the
disinformation campaign. If eBay if you have more intel that would be great.
Thanks!

Thank you Chris‐ Can you please translate this in simple terms‐ yes or no‐ when we can CCA will there be
natural gas as part of that? Sounds like yes. If yes, what are the implications for the Reach Code? Is it
possible/likely that there may need to be some small amounts of gas for the short term but that this would be
phased out?

Subject: question
I may have asked this already but what is the situation with this:
" The city
is focused on Net Zero and yet the Monterey Community Power company
they have signed on with specifically says on their web page that it
does receive electricity from places that are powered by natural gas?
https://www.mbcommunitypower.org/"
Home - MBCP

We hope others will join us in switching to MBprime.
Supporting Monterey Bay Community Power is the right
decision for our community and switching to MBprime for
100% renewable energy is the right decision for the health of
our ocean and our planet.”

Subject: Rumor that MBCP purchased natural gas
Hello all,
A few emails that we have received are claiming that MBCP is purchasing natural gas for when solar is not producing. I
have asked the individuals making this claim for the source but have not heard back yet. Is there any truth to this? I
checked their website and did not see any reference to this. I am assuming and hoping this is just part of the
disinformation campaign. If eBay if you have more intel that would be great.
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
106
Attached is the updated outreach plan. We made a few corrections per your request. I reviewed the MB dates and there
were 11/13 and 11/27 for the resolution/ordinances. As far as the Op Ed and Letter to the Editors, those are carry overs
of options for MBCP to utilize as mechanisms to promote factual information.
In terms of the PPT, I’m just getting back to the office. With my travel to Santa Maria and Marc’s to Goleta tomorrow,
we can stuck with limited bandwidth right now. What is the ultimate deadline?

Subject: Solar on Multi‐Family
Hey Jacob,
This is outside the scope of the code amendments we are making, but I know you were expressing some
concern around how the solar on multifamily would benefit residents (without running conduit everywhere).
Check out PG&E’s VNM page and their VNEM program brochure
https://www.pge.com/includes/docs/pdfs/mybusiness/save/solar/VNEM‐Brochure.PDF.
Let me know if that helps (or if its not relevant).
Best,

Attached is the PPT. This is the best we can do considering the timeline. It pulls a lot of info from the outreach plan.
We are working on updating the Outreach plan per your edits and will be able to share that later today.
Just let Derek know I will print folders for each council member with the PPT and MBCP collateral.

Hey MBCP team,
I agree with Chris’ concern. Not because it’s a bad idea or we don’t think MBCP will put forth solid copy;
rather, our local press can be unpredictable and too prone to sensationalism / click bait.

Hi Chris,
Attached is the updated outreach plan. We made a few corrections per your request. I reviewed the MB dates and there
were 11/13 and 11/27 for the resolution/ordinances. As far as the Op Ed and Letter to the Editors, those are carry overs
of options for MBCP to utilize as mechanisms to promote factual information.
In terms of the PPT, I’m just getting back to the office. With my travel to Santa Maria and Marc’s to Goleta tomorrow,
we can stuck with limited bandwidth right now. What is the ultimate deadline?

Subject: RE: SLR all electric
Good morning Chris,
I’m glad you reached out, I was wondering how your progress was going. It would be great to meet again. This
week I’m free today at 3:30 or 4pm or Wednesday at 3 or 3:30pm. Sorry, kind of busy this week. Let me know
if any of those times work for you and I can meet you at the same place as last time? If not, next week is a lot
more open for me.
To let you know, I’ve been thinking a lot about the all-electric program and if this is the City’s preferred way to
reduce greenhouse gas emission in the construction industry then I’m all in with you. However, change isn’t
always easy, and not usually free either.
These are my main challenges. Any help you can provide with any of these will help with the transition.
1. Going all electric is going to cost about $6,000/ unit (this is on top of the standard additions for the new
2020 Title 24 codes). This is more than my original estimate, mainly because I didn’t realize we would
have to upsize the electric panel. Updated cost breakdown below. The extra cost is contrary to our goal
of providing affordable by design housing and conflicts with the city and state’s goal of providing more
housing that is affordable for the local population. Anything would help here: credits, rebates or fee
reductions from the city, guaranteed processing time, etc.
2. I still don’t know how the heat pump will function or if it’ll require additional insulation, air sealing or
air transfer system to function properly. Any of that will add additional cost too. But this is an item that I
can handle.
3. The electric water heater: I’m hearing that the only commercially available residential tankless electric
water heater max’s out at 5.5 gallons per minute. Residential code requires 8 gpm. We cannot go to
standard tank water heater as they are not as efficient and won’t meet the new Title 24 codes. So I don’t
know what this means. Are they coming out with new tankless electric water heaters soon? If not, can
we get a variance in the building code? Will I have to put it 2 tankless water heaters to meet code and
demand? If so that will raise the construction cost again.
4. Public option: this might be the most important and probably where you can provide the most support.
There’s a couple points here:
a. First, awareness: most people (especially those not involved in the city or county staff or
construction industry) have no idea about this. It could be a shock for many people. And given
the choice between an all-electric home and a mixed fuel home with no background knowledge,
the customer is going to pick mixed fuel every time. I think the city needs to get the word out on
why they are doing this. Make the customer feel like they are making a difference. They need to
137
know that they are bettering the community and the planet by going all-electric. So fliers with
pretty pictures and stats, workshops, commercials and social media posts will help.
b. Electric bill: going all electric is all but guarantying that the electric bill will go up. And with
companies switching to time of use billing, it is unknown how much it will rise but it could be
drastic. I know it is off set by the gas bill being eliminated and that gas prices are expected to rise
faster than electric, but at the moment gas prices are cheap and the public does not think in the
long term. Literature on how the consumer’s electric bill is likely to be affected would be
helpful. Also if Monterey Bay would offer e rebate to all electric customers would be even better
Updated cost breakdown for going all-electric for new construction a typical single family home:
SFR
Item Description Additional Cost
Rough Electric Five 220‐volt wiring and dedicated home‐runs $ 1,500.00
Electrical Panel Upsize from 200 amp to 300 amp $ 1,500.00
Range Free standing induction range $ 1,700.00
Drier Electric clothes drier $ 400.00
Water Heater* Tank‐less electric water heater $ 500.00
FAU Electric heat pump $ 2,500.00
Gas Piping Non‐installation of internal gas lines $ (1,000.00)
Fire Place Non‐installation of fire place $ (1,000.00)
Grand Total $ 6,100.00
* water heat cost will drastically increase if two units are required
Thank you very much for you time and looking forward to see you again,
Jacob

Thank you Chris, that multi‐family construction guide looks helpful.
My main questions pertain to Monterey Bay power:
1. Assuming the city is getting all their power from MB before our first close of escrow, but PG&E is still the current
provider and owner of current infrastructure, do I still go through PG&E to set up our electric backbone
infrastructure or should MB be involved? PG&E will remain responsible for the physical components of the grid.
2. What can we expect the power bill to be assuming consumption is going to rise? (maybe addressed in the guide
package or best addressed to MB?) I apologize for not being more clear. JR is a representative from Monterey
Bay Community Power and he is aware that you may be reaching out (I should note, I wanted to give you a
direct contact for transparency, but if you’d like me to work with JR to answer your questions, I’m happy to do
so).
Is JR Killigrew a representative for MB power? Yes, sorry I wasn’t more clear.

Hi Jacob,
Thank you again for your patience. A couple of things:
1. I was going to connect you with Mike Horgan (Cc’d), but it sounds like you met with already. Hopefully
he was a useful resource.
2. We are continuing discussions with Monterey Bay Community Power regarding rebates/subsidies for all
electric multi family and/or affordable housing units. They won’t know have their 2020 programs
officially in place, but it sounds very promising. I’m including JR Killigrew as a Cc to this email. I’ll
continue to interact with him on program development, but you should feel free to reach out directly re:
the potential program, and in response to your question below.
3. I’m not sure if this is helpful, but Redwood Energy (one of the better known all electric energy
consultants in the state) just issues a multifamily construction guide. I haven’t reviewed it enough to
know its quality, but perhaps there is some information in there that can be helpful.
How else can I help?

Another note that I forgot to include is in regards to mainline electric plans for the site. We have started the
conversation with PG&E but should Monterey Bay Power be involved as eventually they’ll be supplying power? Are they
just taking over PG&E’s infrastructure? Can you provide me a contact person for Monterey Bay Power?

Subject: SLR all electric
Good afternoon Chris,
Thank you again for your time the other day. We are really looking forward to continuing to work with the city to bring
forth a project that we are all proud of.
As requested, here is our expected additional cost per unit to go all electric.
SFR Condo
Item Description Additional Cost Additional Cost
Rough Electric Five 220‐volt wiring $ 1,000.00 $ 850.00
Range* Free standing induction range $ 1,700.00 $ 700.00
Pots Cook ware for induction appliances $ 200.00 $ 100.00
Drier Electric clothes drier $ 400.00 $ 400.00
142
Water Heater Tank‐less electric water heater $ 400.00 $ 250.00
FAU Electric heat pump $ 2,000.00 $ 1,500.00
Gas Piping Non‐installation of internal gas lines $ (1,000.00) $ (700.00)
Fire Place Non‐installation of fire place $ (1,000.00) $ ‐
Grand Total $ 3,700.00 $ 3,100.00
*Appliance costs increases if we install separate electric wall oven and induction cook‐top.
One of my big unknowns is how the heat pump is to function in the SFR units. Any information‐ or leads to suppliers‐ you
can provide for the electric heat pumps will be appreciated.
A question that I have is in regards to the electric bill. I’m not sure how Monterey Bay Power structures their bills but I
know PG&E is a tiered system, meaning the more power you use the higher the unit cost is. Going all electric is going to
raise the energy (power) consumption per dwelling unit. Under PG&E billing this would likely bump up a homeowner to
a higher tier and their bill would raise significantly‐ not just from the increased usage but also being in a higher tier. How
will all electric homes affect the electric bills in the city of San Luis Obispo with Monterey Bay Power? Natural gas is
relatively cheap. It might be an issue if we expect the electric bill to double or triple…
You mentioned that there could be a potential for Monterey Bay Power to offer us an incentive. That (any amount)
would be helpful. If provided an incentive, we would be willing to market (advertise) them as “partners”. I think it would
also be very helpful if they and/or the city can produce literature showing what the expected utility bill would be by
going all electric (assuming it is not going to increase drastically).
Thank you,

Subject:RE: SLR all electric
Good morning Chris,
I’m glad you reached out, I was wondering how your progress was going. It would be great to meet again. This
week I’m free today at 3:30 or 4pm or Wednesday at 3 or 3:30pm. Sorry, kind of busy this week. Let me know
if any of those times work for you and I can meet you at the same place as last time? If not, next week is a lot
more open for me.
To let you know, I’ve been thinking a lot about the all-electric program and if this is the City’s preferred way to
reduce greenhouse gas emission in the construction industry then I’m all in with you. However, change isn’t
always easy, and not usually free either.
These are my main challenges. Any help you can provide with any of these will help with the transition.
1. Going all electric is going to cost about $6,000/ unit (this is on top of the standard additions for the new
2020 Title 24 codes). This is more than my original estimate, mainly because I didn’t realize we would
have to upsize the electric panel. Updated cost breakdown below. The extra cost is contrary to our goal
of providing affordable by design housing and conflicts with the city and state’s goal of providing more
housing that is affordable for the local population. Anything would help here: credits, rebates or fee
reductions from the city, guaranteed processing time, etc.
2. I still don’t know how the heat pump will function or if it’ll require additional insulation, air sealing or
air transfer system to function properly. Any of that will add additional cost too. But this is an item that I
can handle.
3. The electric water heater: I’m hearing that the only commercially available residential tankless electric
water heater max’s out at 5.5 gallons per minute. Residential code requires 8 gpm. We cannot go to
standard tank water heater as they are not as efficient and won’t meet the new Title 24 codes. So I don’t
know what this means. Are they coming out with new tankless electric water heaters soon? If not, can
we get a variance in the building code? Will I have to put it 2 tankless water heaters to meet code and
demand? If so that will raise the construction cost again.
4. Public option: this might be the most important and probably where you can provide the most support.
There’s a couple points here:
a. First, awareness: most people (especially those not involved in the city or county staff or
construction industry) have no idea about this. It could be a shock for many people. And given
the choice between an all-electric home and a mixed fuel home with no background knowledge,
the customer is going to pick mixed fuel every time. I think the city needs to get the word out on
why they are doing this. Make the customer feel like they are making a difference. They need to
know that they are bettering the community and the planet by going all-electric. So fliers with
pretty pictures and stats, workshops, commercials and social media posts will help.
b. Electric bill: going all electric is all but guarantying that the electric bill will go up. And with
companies switching to time of use billing, it is unknown how much it will rise but it could be
drastic. I know it is off set by the gas bill being eliminated and that gas prices are expected to rise
faster than electric, but at the moment gas prices are cheap and the public does not think in the
144
long term. Literature on how the consumer’s electric bill is likely to be affected would be
helpful. Also if Monterey Bay would offer e rebate to all electric customers would be even better
Updated cost breakdown for going all-electric for new construction a typical single family home:
SFR
Item Description Additional Cost
Rough Electric Five 220‐volt wiring and dedicated home‐runs $ 1,500.00
Electrical Panel Upsize from 200 amp to 300 amp $ 1,500.00
Range Free standing induction range $ 1,700.00
Drier Electric clothes drier $ 400.00
Water Heater* Tank‐less electric water heater $ 500.00
FAU Electric heat pump $ 2,500.00
Gas Piping Non‐installation of internal gas lines $ (1,000.00)
Fire Place Non‐installation of fire place $ (1,000.00)
Grand Total $ 6,100.00
* water heat cost will drastically increase if two units are required
Thank you very much for you time and looking forward to see you again,
Jacob

Thank you Chris, that multi‐family construction guide looks helpful.
My main questions pertain to Monterey Bay power:
1. Assuming the city is getting all their power from MB before our first close of escrow, but PG&E is still the current
provider and owner of current infrastructure, do I still go through PG&E to set up our electric backbone
infrastructure or should MB be involved? PG&E will remain responsible for the physical components of the grid.
2. What can we expect the power bill to be assuming consumption is going to rise? (maybe addressed in the guide
package or best addressed to MB?) I apologize for not being more clear. JR is a representative from Monterey
Bay Community Power and he is aware that you may be reaching out (I should note, I wanted to give you a
direct contact for transparency, but if you’d like me to work with JR to answer your questions, I’m happy to do
so).
Is JR Killigrew a representative for MB power? Yes, sorry I wasn’t more clear.

Hi Jacob,
Thank you again for your patience. A couple of things:
1. I was going to connect you with Mike Horgan (Cc’d), but it sounds like you met with already. Hopefully
he was a useful resource.
2. We are continuing discussions with Monterey Bay Community Power regarding rebates/subsidies for all
electric multi family and/or affordable housing units. They won’t know have their 2020 programs
officially in place, but it sounds very promising. I’m including JR Killigrew as a Cc to this email. I’ll
continue to interact with him on program development, but you should feel free to reach out directly re:
the potential program, and in response to your question below.
3. I’m not sure if this is helpful, but Redwood Energy (one of the better known all electric energy
consultants in the state) just issues a multifamily construction guide. I haven’t reviewed it enough to
know its quality, but perhaps there is some information in there that can be helpful.
How else can I help?

Another note that I forgot to include is in regards to mainline electric plans for the site. We have started the

just taking over PG&E’s infrastructure? Can you provide me a contact person for Monterey Bay Power?

PG&E has initiated proceeding at the CPUC to justify shutting power off to large areas in their service territory to ensure
public safety (Public Safety Power Shutoff or PSPS) . Understandably, many of you are very concerned about the impact
on our communities. Our elected officials are also very concerned (see attached hearing summary), although their
reaction may be limited to conducting hearings and putting PG&E on notice.
I’m certain that many of you are evaluating the situation, identifying critical service facilities and planning on installing
backup generation to handle potential PSPS. In case you don’t have the necessary funds to install these systems, MBCP
is designing a program to help you install necessary backup systems, and pay for it over time with an adder to the
electric generation bill. If you need our help, let us know

Thank you Chris, that multi‐family construction guide looks helpful.
My main questions pertain to Monterey Bay power:
1. Assuming the city is getting all their power from MB before our first close of escrow, but PG&E is still the current
provider and owner of current infrastructure, do I still go through PG&E to set up our electric backbone
infrastructure or should MB be involved? PG&E will remain responsible for the physical components of the grid.
2. What can we expect the power bill to be assuming consumption is going to rise? (maybe addressed in the guide
package or best addressed to MB?) I apologize for not being more clear. JR is a representative from Monterey
Bay Community Power and he is aware that you may be reaching out (I should note, I wanted to give you a
direct contact for transparency, but if you’d like me to work with JR to answer your questions, I’m happy to do
so).
Is JR Killigrew a representative for MB power? Yes, sorry I wasn’t more clear.

Hi Jacob,
Thank you again for your patience. A couple of things:
1. I was going to connect you with Mike Horgan (Cc’d), but it sounds like you met with already. Hopefully
he was a useful resource.
2. We are continuing discussions with Monterey Bay Community Power regarding rebates/subsidies for all
electric multi family and/or affordable housing units. They won’t know have their 2020 programs
officially in place, but it sounds very promising. I’m including JR Killigrew as a Cc to this email. I’ll
continue to interact with him on program development, but you should feel free to reach out directly re:
the potential program, and in response to your question below.
3. I’m not sure if this is helpful, but Redwood Energy (one of the better known all electric energy
consultants in the state) just issues a multifamily construction guide. I haven’t reviewed it enough to
know its quality, but perhaps there is some information in there that can be helpful.
How else can I help?

No worries, sounds good.
Another note that I forgot to include is in regards to mainline electric plans for the site. We have started the
conversation with PG&E but should Monterey Bay Power be involved as eventually they’ll be supplying power? Are they
just taking over PG&E’s infrastructure? Can you provide me a contact person for Monterey Bay Power?

Good afternoon Chris,
Thank you again for your time the other day. We are really looking forward to continuing to work with the city to bring
forth a project that we are all proud of.
As requested, here is our expected additional cost per unit to go all electric.
SFR Condo
Item Description Additional Cost Additional Cost
Rough Electric Five 220‐volt wiring $ 1,000.00 $ 850.00
Range* Free standing induction range $ 1,700.00 $ 700.00
Pots Cook ware for induction appliances $ 200.00 $ 100.00
Drier Electric clothes drier $ 400.00 $ 400.00
Water Heater Tank‐less electric water heater $ 400.00 $ 250.00
FAU Electric heat pump $ 2,000.00 $ 1,500.00
Gas Piping Non‐installation of internal gas lines $ (1,000.00) $ (700.00)
Fire Place Non‐installation of fire place $ (1,000.00) $ ‐
Grand Total $ 3,700.00 $ 3,100.00
*Appliance costs increases if we install separate electric wall oven and induction cook‐top.
One of my big unknowns is how the heat pump is to function in the SFR units. Any information‐ or leads to suppliers‐ you
can provide for the electric heat pumps will be appreciated.
A question that I have is in regards to the electric bill. I’m not sure how Monterey Bay Power structures their bills but I
know PG&E is a tiered system, meaning the more power you use the higher the unit cost is. Going all electric is going to
raise the energy (power) consumption per dwelling unit. Under PG&E billing this would likely bump up a homeowner to
a higher tier and their bill would raise significantly‐ not just from the increased usage but also being in a higher tier. How
will all electric homes affect the electric bills in the city of San Luis Obispo with Monterey Bay Power? Natural gas is
relatively cheap. It might be an issue if we expect the electric bill to double or triple…
You mentioned that there could be a potential for Monterey Bay Power to offer us an incentive. That (any amount)
would be helpful. If provided an incentive, we would be willing to market (advertise) them as “partners”. I think it would
also be very helpful if they and/or the city can produce literature showing what the expected utility bill would be by
going all electric (assuming it is not going to increase drastically).
Thank you,

Hi All,
After chatting with Chris just now, here is what MBCP will do.
Marc – can you put together a two paragraph summary of the outreach/enrollment that will happen in SLO over the
next 6 to 8 months? I would also include some information about potential programs and the estimated cost savings for
the residents/businesses in SLO. Since our rebate has moved up to 5%, we will want to include updated figures. Please
send this information back to Chris/Bob by EOD tomorrow.
I will send the updated outreach plan as an attachment by EOD tomorrow as well. Finally, we will send the PPT the day
of the presentation.

Hi Chris,
I don’t have anything queued up at the moment as I’m on vacation this week. What is your deadline?
Initial take would be:
‐ intro to MBCP
‐ update on expansion efforts
‐ review of MBCP budget, procurement and programs
‐ review of outreach plan and scheduled efforts/actions
‐ Q&A
Let us know if you have something else in mind.
Thanks,

Subject: Energization hearing
PG&E has initiated proceeding at the CPUC to justify shutting power off to large areas in their service territory to ensure
public safety (Public Safety Power Shutoff or PSPS) . Understandably, many of you are very concerned about the impact
on our communities. Our elected officials are also very concerned (see attached hearing summary), although their
reaction may be limited to conducting hearings and putting PG&E on notice.
I’m certain that many of you are evaluating the situation, identifying critical service facilities and planning on installing
backup generation to handle potential PSPS. In case you don’t have the necessary funds to install these systems, MBCP
is designing a program to help you install necessary backup systems, and pay for it over time with an adder to the
electric generation bill. If you need our help, let us know

Subject: Energization hearing
PG&E has initiated proceeding at the CPUC to justify shutting power off to large areas in their service territory to ensure
public safety (Public Safety Power Shutoff or PSPS) . Understandably, many of you are very concerned about the impact
on our communities. Our elected officials are also very concerned (see attached hearing summary), although their
reaction may be limited to conducting hearings and putting PG&E on notice.
I’m certain that many of you are evaluating the situation, identifying critical service facilities and planning on installing
backup generation to handle potential PSPS. In case you don’t have the necessary funds to install these systems, MBCP
is designing a program to help you install necessary backup systems, and pay for it over time with an adder to the
electric generation bill. If you need our help, let us know

Hi Chris,
I don’t have anything queued up at the moment as I’m on vacation this week. What is your deadline?
Initial take would be:
‐ intro to MBCP
‐ update on expansion efforts
‐ review of MBCP budget, procurement and programs
‐ review of outreach plan and scheduled efforts/actions
‐ Q&A
Let us know if you have something else in mind.
Thanks,
JR

Subject: RE: Monterey Bay Community Power ‐ Operations Board ‐ 8/14 Agenda
Hello All:
The discussion today and the comments by Tom Habachi suggest that up to three members maybe added as
a result of the expansion and longer term (6-12 months), an ad-hoc committee group will be looking at staffing,
governance, and benchmarks for evaluating expansion an the impacts on operations. Again, more to follow
and an overarching theme was the SBCO might be the total southern geographical reach and that it lined up
with shared economic sectors, income levels and demographics, climate zones, energy demand in a largely
coastal/rule setting.
MBCP Staff also has identified a variety of opportunities such as scaling electrification and energy resources
across five counties which have similar initiatives and
program needs, leveraging a network of political figures, collaborating with regional agencies and entities as
well as connecting and leveraging the economic potential of the central coast.
More to follow on governance as the ad-hoc committee explores options and open to any suggestions.
Thank you,
Derek

Subject: RE: Monterey Bay Community Power ‐ Operations Board ‐ 8/14 Agenda
Hello All:
The discussion today and the comments by Tom Habachi suggest that up to three members maybe added as
a result of the expansion and longer term (6-12 months), an ad-hoc committee group will be looking at staffing,
governance, and benchmarks for evaluating expansion an the impacts on operations. Again, more to follow
and an overarching theme was the SBCO might be the total southern geographical reach and that it lined up
with shared economic sectors, income levels and demographics, climate zones, energy demand in a largely
coastal/rule setting.
MBCP Staff also has identified a variety of opportunities such as scaling electrification and energy resources
across five counties which have similar initiatives and
program needs, leveraging a network of political figures, collaborating with regional agencies and entities as
well as connecting and leveraging the economic potential of the central coast.
More to follow on governance as the ad-hoc committee explores options and open to any suggestions.
Thank you,
Derek

Hello All,
We are meeting now as the operations board is in session and this will be one of the discussion points as to
how do we maintain voting parity, influence and stature as they consider expanding. More to follow and
today’s discussion is largely conceptual and perhaps today’s discussion will crystalize into a recommendation
to the full Board.
Thank you

All,
I’m setting up this 2‐hour meeting timeframe on August 14 from 8:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. to test audio/video functions
prior to start of our Ops Board meeting that begins at 10:30 a.m. There’s no need to use all of the 2 hours if all testing
goes well, it’s just available time in the event there’s a major issue that needs to be mitigated prior to the meeting.
The testing will begin by 8:30 a.m. with both remote locations (SLO and County of Santa Cruz) and with MBCP office. The
testing is being setup to ensure that any and all issues with audio and/or video problems are resolved prior to the Ops
Board meeting. Please report any issues that cannot be resolved to me, Bren Lehr, so that I can relay this information to
our CEO and the Chair prior to start of the meeting.
David, please send the requisite WebEx meeting invite(s) out to all parties prior to the meeting as well.
Thank you, All, and let me know if there are any questions.
