Robert/Chris
No worries and I’m glad that you are leaning to launch in 2020 rather than wait for another year or two. I’ll wait on
setting anything in motion at my end until I know, with a reasonable degree of certainty, that you plan to recommend
joining MBCP to your governing Boards.

Hi Tom,
We really appreciate your thoughtful, gracious, and very patient consideration of us. Thank you.
As you might expect, we will be having serious internal discussions right away. More very soon…

Hi Shawn/Robert/Chris
Attached is MBCP Implementation plan for your reference. I want to add few observations to Shawn’s recollection of our
conversation
1‐ The legality of one JPA formed for the purpose of becoming a CCA joining another CCA may not work for 2
reasons; 1) Rule 23 that permits the formation of CCA allows municipalities and counties with defined boarders
to form or become part of a CCA. I don’t believe that extends to a JPA and even if it does; 2) MBCP’s JPA allows
members to terminate their membership provided that they take responsibility of decisions made on their
behalf prior to their withdrawal. I think that would be very difficult to enforce if the member is a JPA rather than
a city or a county.
2‐ The costly proposition of customer outreach, notifications and enrollment will be difficult to do if it’s done in the
name of another JPA, especially if that entity (in this case CCCE) has no responsibility to the SLO/Morro Bay
customers. Furthermore, our members in Santa Cruz and San Benito may demand the same treatment, sending
our marketing effort down the rabbit hole
3‐ I’m not advocating that SLO/Morro Bay abandon the CCCE brand, in fact I do like the name and in a few years, If
I would advocate for a change in name, CCCE would be an ideal one. I’m, however, suggesting that SLO hold on
to the name and redirect their mission to implementing energy efficiency and other programs that we are not
likely to begin promoting until we can get funding from the CEC, CPUC or other sources.
Finally, and to be blunt, if you guys want in, then be “ALL IN”, but if identity and local control is of paramount
importance to you, then bite the bullet, raise the funds and do your own thing.
And that’s my two cents

Tom,
On behalf of Bob Hill and Chris Read who are leading the CCA effort down in San Luis Obispo, I want to thank
you for your time and graciousness on the phone this afternoon… and your willingness to entertain (yet
again!) the idea of expanding MBCP’s membership to include SLO communities. By way of this email, I am
sharing MBCP’s JPA Agreement with Chris and Bob and outlining some of the terms and next steps that we
discussed. Bob and Chris will follow up with you directly once they’ve had the chance to review the JPA
Agreement and discuss internally.
DRAFT Terms:
Membership: Central Coast Community Energy (CCCE) as a new JPA serving SLO County communities would
join MBCP as a full voting member
Governance: CCCE would have one seat on the MBCP Ops and Policy Boards to start; additional seats
allocated as per the population thresholds described in the JPA Agreement
Cost to Join: None, other than CCCE (or its member cities) will cover initial legal costs for JPA review and
technical consultant costs to prepare the amended Implementation Plan
Branding/Identity: In concept, Tom is fine with CCCE retaining its name and brand identity at the local level;
will need to check with PG&E on bill labeling. MBCP may also choose to change its name to reflect a broader
service territory (final approach TBD).
Revenues and Expenditures: Revenues and expenditures will remain under the purview of MBCP and its
Board; no separate accounting
Rate Setting/Power Options: CCCE will become part of MBCP’s existing rate design, pricing structure and
power product options
Programs: MBCP’s programs will be offered within the SLO service territory as they are throughout MBCP’s
existing territory; opportunities for local power procurement will be available on the same basis as other
MBCP members (generally through RFPs)
CAC: CCCE may appoint a community member to MBCP’s CAC; MBCP will not support a separate CAC for CCCE
Staffing: Will be provided by existing MBCP staff; in the future, would consider hiring a local staff person to
liaison with HQ in Monterey
Action Items:
Greg Stapanicich to affirm legality of a JPA joining another JPA
Greg and city attorneys to review MBCP’s JPA Agreement to flag questions or issues
Tom to send word version of MBCP’s Implementation Plan so TEA can update/amend (if given the green light)
Tom to handle internal load analysis related to CCCE expansion
11/7 ‐ 1st CCCE Board meeting to provide direction on whether to pursue membership in MBCP; if yes…
11/14 – MBCP Ops Board meets; provide recommendation to approve (or not) CCCE’s membership
12/5 – MBCP Policy Board meets; approve CCCE as new member and adopt the amended Implementation
Plan (assuming its ready)
2019: Program integration and enrollment for early 2020 launch
I think that covers it for now. Tom, please add/amend if I missed anything. Thanks all, S‐

Actually, MBCP doesn’t have one member/one vote. It is a voting structure based on population size with
shared seats for communities under 50,000 (or something like that). Still, I agree that there may need to be
some amendments to MBCP’s JPA – and this is likely something that Tom would require CCCE to pay for…

Tom’s first point is the one that I am concerned about. There also are operational issues. The Monterey JPA Agreement
would need to be amended. Since each member has one vote, this creates a problem for CCCE as it would get just one
vote for two or more cities.

Hi Shawn/Robert/Chris
Attached is MBCP Implementation plan for your reference. I want to add few observations to Shawn’s recollection of our
conversation
1‐ The legality of one JPA formed for the purpose of becoming a CCA joining another CCA may not work for 2
reasons; 1) Rule 23 that permits the formation of CCA allows municipalities and counties with defined boarders
to form or become part of a CCA. I don’t believe that extends to a JPA and even if it does; 2) MBCP’s JPA allows
members to terminate their membership provided that they take responsibility of decisions made on their
behalf prior to their withdrawal. I think that would be very difficult to enforce if the member is a JPA rather than
a city or a county.
2‐ The costly proposition of customer outreach, notifications and enrollment will be difficult to do if it’s done in the
name of another JPA, especially if that entity (in this case CCCE) has no responsibility to the SLO/Morro Bay
customers. Furthermore, our members in Santa Cruz and San Benito may demand the same treatment, sending
our marketing effort down the rabbit hole
3‐ I’m not advocating that SLO/Morro Bay abandon the CCCE brand, in fact I do like the name and in a few years, If
I would advocate for a change in name, CCCE would be an ideal one. I’m, however, suggesting that SLO hold on
to the name and redirect their mission to implementing energy efficiency and other programs that we are not
likely to begin promoting until we can get funding from the CEC, CPUC or other sources.
Finally, and to be blunt, if you guys want in, then be “ALL IN”, but if identity and local control is of paramount
importance to you, then bite the bullet, raise the funds and do your own thing.
And that’s my two cents

you for your time and graciousness on the phone this afternoon… and your willingness to entertain (yet
again!) the idea of expanding MBCP’s membership to include SLO communities. By way of this email, I am
sharing MBCP’s JPA Agreement with Chris and Bob and outlining some of the terms and next steps that we
discussed. Bob and Chris will follow up with you directly once they’ve had the chance to review the JPA
Agreement and discuss internally.
DRAFT Terms:
Membership: Central Coast Community Energy (CCCE) as a new JPA serving SLO County communities would
join MBCP as a full voting member
Governance: CCCE would have one seat on the MBCP Ops and Policy Boards to start; additional seats
allocated as per the population thresholds described in the JPA Agreement
Cost to Join: None, other than CCCE (or its member cities) will cover initial legal costs for JPA review and
technical consultant costs to prepare the amended Implementation Plan
Branding/Identity: In concept, Tom is fine with CCCE retaining its name and brand identity at the local level;
will need to check with PG&E on bill labeling. MBCP may also choose to change its name to reflect a broader
service territory (final approach TBD).
Revenues and Expenditures: Revenues and expenditures will remain under the purview of MBCP and its
Board; no separate accounting
Rate Setting/Power Options: CCCE will become part of MBCP’s existing rate design, pricing structure and
power product options
Programs: MBCP’s programs will be offered within the SLO service territory as they are throughout MBCP’s
existing territory; opportunities for local power procurement will be available on the same basis as other
MBCP members (generally through RFPs)
CAC: CCCE may appoint a community member to MBCP’s CAC; MBCP will not support a separate CAC for CCCE
Staffing: Will be provided by existing MBCP staff; in the future, would consider hiring a local staff person to
liaison with HQ in Monterey
Action Items:
Greg Stapanicich to affirm legality of a JPA joining another JPA
16
Greg and city attorneys to review MBCP’s JPA Agreement to flag questions or issues
Tom to send word version of MBCP’s Implementation Plan so TEA can update/amend (if given the green light)
Tom to handle internal load analysis related to CCCE expansion
11/7 ‐ 1st CCCE Board meeting to provide direction on whether to pursue membership in MBCP; if yes…
11/14 – MBCP Ops Board meets; provide recommendation to approve (or not) CCCE’s membership
12/5 – MBCP Policy Board meets; approve CCCE as new member and adopt the amended Implementation
Plan (assuming its ready)
2019: Program integration and enrollment for early 2020 launch
I think that covers it for now. Tom, please add/amend if I missed anything. Thanks all, S‐

Thanks Tom. This is helpful additional context now that you’ve had a chance to “sleep on it.” And we fully
understand the “all in” sentiment. Once we hear back from Greg and the team further assesses the situation,
we’ll be back in touch. Meanwhile, we are requesting a 30‐day extension on the I‐Plan which could be helpful
in any event. We will keep you posted. S‐

Hi Shawn/Robert/Chris
Attached is MBCP Implementation plan for your reference. I want to add few observations to Shawn’s recollection of our
conversation
1‐ The legality of one JPA formed for the purpose of becoming a CCA joining another CCA may not work for 2
reasons; 1) Rule 23 that permits the formation of CCA allows municipalities and counties with defined boarders
to form or become part of a CCA. I don’t believe that extends to a JPA and even if it does; 2) MBCP’s JPA allows
members to terminate their membership provided that they take responsibility of decisions made on their
behalf prior to their withdrawal. I think that would be very difficult to enforce if the member is a JPA rather than
a city or a county.
2‐ The costly proposition of customer outreach, notifications and enrollment will be difficult to do if it’s done in the
name of another JPA, especially if that entity (in this case CCCE) has no responsibility to the SLO/Morro Bay
customers. Furthermore, our members in Santa Cruz and San Benito may demand the same treatment, sending
our marketing effort down the rabbit hole
3‐ I’m not advocating that SLO/Morro Bay abandon the CCCE brand, in fact I do like the name and in a few years, If
I would advocate for a change in name, CCCE would be an ideal one. I’m, however, suggesting that SLO hold on
to the name and redirect their mission to implementing energy efficiency and other programs that we are not
likely to begin promoting until we can get funding from the CEC, CPUC or other sources.
Finally, and to be blunt, if you guys want in, then be “ALL IN”, but if identity and local control is of paramount
importance to you, then bite the bullet, raise the funds and do your own thing.
And that’s my two cents

Hi Mark –
A dear friend – and one of the most energized social activists you’ll ever meet – just moved to SLO county. She and
many neighbors/customers/etc have been reading about the CCA work going on down there. She wants to get them all
involved in advocating for it with local gov’t and politicians. Can you give me the name of a CCA contact that she can
connect with and offer to do some volunteer work for?
Thanks

Hi –
Pls see below. Do you remember the office we met at in Felton and the woman who hosted the meeting on Puerto
Rico hurricane assistance? She recently moved to San Luis Obispo county. She is an absolute power house for
community organizing and doing “good things” – as you saw. She just got connected with the CCA movement
there. She is organizing the locals and wants to connect with the political/gov’t person(s) advocating for CCAs. I know

Hi Cynthia
I just joined a group that is called next door, for people in my neighborhood… there was a comment about PGE & I
responded with "a group is forming here for our own electric coop"… not knowing much about it and still got a big
response… people want to know where… how…. I am sure I could get 2‐300 people signed up…. can’t wait for the name
to push this along!
Lance in San Juans, bringing our boat parts back…. yesterday was difficult for me… anniversary of Julian’s passing
today… so much grief over what might have been. I put my energy into making & canning salsa and tomatoes to keep
myself busy…
Much Love,
Lyndia

Good Morning Cynthia
I am hoping you can get me the contact person for the energy program that is budding here in San Luis
Obispo County… wanting it for myself to connect with them and to pass it along to my neighbors.
Looking forward to meeting your friend….we are now in communication. She is a sweetheart…. offered
to come to the house and feed the feral cat hanging around here while we are in Denver…. I have
others who will do it, but what a gem she is to offer!
Thanks Cynthia,
Lyndia
PS: Did you get a personal trainer? If not, do you want me to make a couple of calls and see if I can find
one that might work?

Hi Scott,
Please find the updated PPT and TEA contract files, as discussed.
One other note we didn’t discuss… it seems like we are coalescing a bit around a JPA name: Central Coast
Community Energy. You should know, there is some discussion over whether SB had it first or not, but I’m
feeling that we are going to be ok here. Any thoughts on the name?

Good afternoon colleagues,
Thanks to all who responded to our request for CCE updates for tomorrow’s LEAN webinar. We have over 200
people registered and we very much appreciate all the current information you share. One thing I failed to
ask is whether you have open job postings and/or RFPs that you want us to include in our update. If so,
please let us know by reply email today.
And for those who haven’t yet sent your program highlights and update, there’s still time! I’m in the office
until 6:00 pm today.
Many thanks. Stay cool out there... S‐

which ‐ similar to what you’re doing ‐ created a webpage and early collateral to provide basic info in advance

the CCE became “more real.”
There’s some good copy in the Mendocino brochure in particular that Katie may wish to consider. Let me

if requested. Cheers, S‐

Dear Mr. Bachman,
Thank you for MBCP’s proposal and interview for technical and energy services. We sincerely appreciate the
time, interest, and creativity spent bidding on the project. However, pending successful contract negotiations,
the review committee has made a decision to select another team at this time.
The selection was enormously challenging for the review team. All the finalists were extremely well qualified
and everyone offered interesting approaches to our nascent CCE program. We’ll be available to debrief on
specifics in the next week or so.
Additionally, thank you for the substantial and continued dialogue about CCE in San Luis Obispo for the last
two years. We are sincerely appreciative and hope to find ways to work together to achieve our shared carbon
free future.

Subject:MBCP - CCE Interview Information
Greetings,
We look forward to speaking with you on Tuesday, June 19 at 10:00 AM. The 105 minute interview will be
organized as follows:
1. Introductions and proposer presentation (10-15 minutes)
2. Standard interview questions (~45 minutes)
3. Discussion and proposal specific questions (~45 minutes)
Please note that the interview will be conducted in the main conference room at our Utilities office at 879 Morro
Street, San Luis Obispo, 93401. Parking is available at the adjacent parking garage or across the street at 919
Palm.
We are still working on finalizing the standard interview questions, so we will only be able to provide general
topic areas ahead of the interviews. Proposers can be expected to answer questions related to the following
general topics:
1. Your team’s competitive advantage in serving our customers and load.
2. Your team’s approach to and experience with inclusion of clean and renewable power and new
technologies for CCAs.
3. Your team’s approach to helping us optimize integration of DER and drive innovation.
4. Your assumptions of and preferred approach to CCE JPA staffing.
5. What you believe to be the most challenging aspects of power planning and procurement for CCAs
(current and future) and how you address those challenges.
6. Your team’s recommendations for energy risk management practices and agency reserves.
7. Your team’s approach to local power projects/development.
8. Your team’s approach to ensuring we are a priority given the demands of your existing workload and
obligations.
We are in the process of compiling proposal specific questions. Due to timing constraints, we will not be able to
provide these questions ahead of the interview. In general, they are clarifying in nature.
We wish you safe travels. Feel free to email me with any questions.

Hi Mark,
We support a streamlined approach to the technical study so long as key issues related to our specific load

environmental metrics are addressed.
Item 16 data for 2016/2017 is available now. All data will be shared (pending NDA signing) once the preferred

A couple questions for you:
1. For the Phase 1 technical study, we are planning a similar (or even leaner) approach as taken in the attachment
by PEA for the County of Santa Barbara. Can you please review and give us your team’s feedback on that
approach? This is a more succinct approach than taken for previous Technical Studies.
2. When will the city be able to provide load (Item 16) data? Do you have historical load data that you can share?
Thank you, Chris. We are looking forward to the interview next Tuesday.

Hi Chris,
A couple questions for you:
1. For the Phase 1 technical study, we are planning a similar (or even leaner) approach as taken in the attachment
by PEA for the County of Santa Barbara. Can you please review and give us your team’s feedback on that
approach? This is a more succinct approach than taken for previous Technical Studies. We understand that the
technical studies PEA has authored in the past are extensive and costly. We have no problem with a more
streamlined approach so long as key issues related to our specific load and customer base, power supply
options, ability to be price competitive, and perform better than PG&E on environmental metrics is addressed.
2. When will the city be able to provide load (Item 16) data? Do you have historical load data that you can share?
Item 16 data for 2016/2017 is available now. We also have 2015 data if you want to go farther back. All data
can be shared once the preferred vendor is identified and contract discussions are underway/complete.
Thank you, Chris. We are looking forward to the interview next Tuesday.

Community Advisory Council Update: As of the April 30 deadline,

Executive Summary:
Regular Meeting of the Policy Board of Directors
Wednesday, June 6, 2018
CEO’s Report
A Super Joint Powers Authority (JPA) made up of several
California Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) is being
formed to reduce the cost of long-term electricity contracts
with centralized energy procurement.
The cities of San Louis Obispo and Morro Bay are joining
together to form their own CCA. Should they approve our
proposal – on a cost-plus basis – MBCP will assist with launch
and operations.
MBCP has purchased its needed Resource Adequacy (RA),
equivalent to 15% more than our predicted power supply
86
needs, as mandated by the California Public Utilities
Commission. Since the incumbent electric utility is currently
the only supplier, the price was raised substantially above
market rate.
MBCP will be matching an expected 15-20% reduction in
electricity generation rates by PG&E. MBCP is dedicated to
offering rates equal to or lower than PG&E despite the
expected decrease.
Enrollment Update: Out of 37,500 non-residential customers,
only 176 have chosen to opt-out and remain with the
incumbent utility. Out of 235,000 residents, only 445 have
chosen to opt-out and remain with the incumbent utility.
Time/Location of Regular Meetings of the Policy Board of
Directors
Resolution adopted unanimously to change board meeting location
to MBCP offices at 70 Garden Court in Monterey, and move the
meeting time to 10:30 AM instead of 9AM to allow for traveling
outside of commuting hours.
General Counsel Full Time Employee
The replacement of the MBCP general counsel contract position
with a full-time employee position for regulatory and legislative
support, as well as power procurement contracts, was approved
unanimously. Effective Oct. 1, 2018
Community Advisory Council (CAC) Appointed
Prior to unanimous approval of the 11 selected CAC members,
nearly each board member thanked the 62 applicants,
acknowledging the richness of the selection pool, their broad scope
of knowledge and expertise, and how fair the selection process was.
San Benito County Supervisor Jerry Muenzer encouraged all
applicants to remain engaged, “If you weren’t selected, do stay
involved. We want the continued engagement with the
community.” MBCP’s Beth Trenchard was acknowledged for her
hard work throughout the process. The MBCP team is elated with
87
how smooth the process was and honored to have the opportunity
to be working with such a tremendous group of qualified CAC
members!
Progress Update - 15-year Renewable Wind Power Purchase
MBCP put out a joint Request for Offers (RFO) and received 87
responses. MBCP is currently in negotiations with the three
applicants who were shortlisted. One of the applicants is a wind
project in New Mexico, which would generate electricity during
different times of day than MBCP’s solar providers, delivering an
efficient compliment to MBCP’s existing power mix. MBCP expects
to complete negotiations by July or August, 2018.

Good morning, Chris. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your whirlwind visit to Sacramento. The tone was certainly different
at this year’s BLES!
I checked in with Tom at MBCP to see if it was still an option to have the northern part of SB County join them as a back
up to forming a new CCA. Please see his response to one of the questions below – can you weigh in on what your
prospects are for joining MBCP vs starting your own? Also, can we chat about what it might look like if our PG&E
territory were to join with you (and southern with CPA)? I have pretty good availability tomorrow and Thursday. Any
open slots for you?
1. Are there other jurisdictions currently interested in joining MBCP? We made a proposal to provide services to
SLO and Morro Bay, potentially a new CCA to be formed by July.

Subject: RE: Santa Barbara County MBCE follow up
Hello Tom,
I hope this email finds you well. Pacific Energy Advisors has completed our new CCE feasibility study (attached), this time
just for Santa Barbara County rather than our tri‐county region with SLO and Ventura. The new study looks promising for
our elected officials to move forward with a CCE program serving all or part of Santa Barbara County, should they choose
to do so. That said, our Board of Supervisors remains interested—likely as a back‐up option—in splitting ourselves in two
and potentially joining MBCP for the PG&E parts of our county and CPA for the SCE parts.
I’ll be taking the new study results to our Board on July 17. To inform my presentation of options, I would appreciate if
you could advise on the below questions related to MBCP’s interest and process in taking us on. Do you have some time
to discuss in the next week or two?
1. Are you/your board potentially still interested in having Northern Santa Barbara County join MBCP? YES
2. What is the current process for joining MBCP? Have the county pass a resolution expressing the County’s desire
to join MBCP. Once our Board approves of including SBC to our JPA, you’re in.
3. Would a new member have any joining fees? If so, can you help us understand how the fees are calculated,
what they would cover, and whether the fees would be paid back through future revenues generated by
customers located in SB County? There is no fee to join. You may need to front $30,000 to pay for amending our
implementation plan. This fee will be refunded to you roughly 90 days after enrolling SBC customers
4. How soon could a new member’s customers begin receiving electricity service from MBCP? More specifically,
would it be possible to submit an updated implementation plan to the CPUC by January 1, 2019 to begin service
for our customers in 2020? Yes and yes provided the decision to join is made no later than July or August at the
latest
5. What would you need from a new member to update MBCP’s implementation plan? A signed resolution
expressing your desire to join which we can draft for you
6. What is the likelihood that potential future new renewable generation projects could be built in Santa Barbara
County? Good, assuming the price is within acceptable premium to MBCP (inclusive of SBC)
7. Can you describe your current power supply portfolio and overall approach (e.g., content, contract length, plans
for local generation, open position)? So far, we have signed 56 confirmations for hedged price energy, indexed
priced renewable (bucket one), indexed priced carbon free resources (large hydro) and RA. These agreements
range in duration from one month (RA) to four years (carbon free). Our open position range from 20% in 2019 to
70% in 2022. In addition, we, along with SVCE, are in negotiations with 3 developers for wind (200 MW) and
solar + storage (300 MW), of which MBCP’s share will be 225 MW, meeting 18% of our customer demand. We
expect these negotiations to conclude in July and the resources to be online by 2021. Finally, the approved
power resource mix for 2018 is 30% eligible renewable (all bucket one) and 100% carbon free. This is likely to
change in favor of eligible resources in future years
8. Are there other jurisdictions currently interested in joining MBCP? We made a proposal to provide services to
SLO and Morro Bay, potentially a new CCA to be formed by July.
9. For the unincorporated parts of Santa Barbara County to join MBCP, we would also need to join/form another
CCA serving the SCE parts of our county. The CPUC has been unwilling to confirm whether they would accept
110
this split‐CCA approach to offer service to 100% of our residential customers, as required by PUC Section
366.2(b). This could present a risk to the CPUC certifying your implementation plan should your plan include
unincorporated Santa Barbara County. Are you/would you anticipate your board would accept this risk?
Obviously we’ll need to do some homework to get the CPUC to take position on this issue. To the extent they
stick to the letter of section 366.2 (b), then SBC has a decision to make, they can have the city of SB join while
we litigate the county split with the CPUC or they can have the entire county become a single CCA and struggle
with the issue of devising different generation rates for the County’s north and south section. Either way, I don’t
see any risk to MBCP
Thank you, as always, for letting me pepper you with questions. Any time
Have a wonderful weekend,
Jen

Hi Tom,
111
We presented to the County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors last week on the results of our CCE feasibility study
and options for how to proceed, including the possibility of our North County customers joining MBCE (and LACCE for
our South County customers). Our Board asked us to further study the feasibility of starting our own CCE program, as
well as additional details related to joining MBCE (and LACCE). Can you please respond to the follow‐up questions
below?
1. If Santa Barbara County were to join MBCE, would we have the ability to modify the base electricity product
offered to our customers? Specifically, could we increase the RPS‐eligible renewable energy content above the
planned RPS‐equivalent, say to 50%? Would this incur any additional cost to the County or our customers?
Provided that Santa Barbara join MBCP, all decisions regarding the proper power supply mix, rates, reserve policy, etc.
will be done jointly by the Board of Directors and any decision made by the Board will applicable to all. Regarding
increasing the % of eligible renewable in the mix, it’s very likely that we’ll see the return of SB100 in early 2018, which
will accelerate the 50% eligible renewable in the mix to 50% by 2025. Meanwhile, I believe that during the next 2 years,
the decision to go with 100% carbon free and meeting 100% of the RPS using type 1 renewable is a prudent approach to
maximize the reduction of GHG and to help us accumulate enough reserves and become credit worthy
2. Can you provide some information on MBCE’s plans for investment in new local renewable energy generation,
including timeframe for when MBCE thinks it may be able to contract for new generation and where such
projects might be located, specifically whether such projects might be located in Santa Barbara County or if the
focus is mainly on the original 3 county participants?
We issued an RFO for long term renewables in conjunction with SVCE. The offers are due tomorrow and we’ll evaluate
the results and select few options for negotiation and eventually signing contracts by Jan 2018. These contract will
provide sufficient power to meet roughly 10% of MBCP’s electricity demand. We’re likely to repeat in 12‐18 months
from now. We have no conceived plans for local generation and hopeful that some of the offers will be well priced to
justify keeping the deal local.
3. It doesn’t look like Santa Barbara County will make a decision to join MBCE by the Thanksgiving time period to
be include in your Phase 2 launch in July 2018. If we were to join later in 2018, is your ballpark cost estimate still
$0 up to $25‐50,000 to modify your implementation plan?
Yes.
Many thanks,
Jen

will be done jointly by the Board of Directors and any decision made by the Board will applicable to all. Regarding
increasing the % of eligible renewable in the mix, it’s very likely that we’ll see the return of SB100 in early 2018, which
will accelerate the 50% eligible renewable in the mix to 50% by 2025. Meanwhile, I believe that during the next 2 years,
the decision to go with 100% carbon free and meeting 100% of the RPS using type 1 renewable is a prudent approach to
maximize the reduction of GHG and to help us accumulate enough reserves and become credit worthy
2. Can you provide some information on MBCE’s plans for investment in new local renewable energy generation,
including timeframe for when MBCE thinks it may be able to contract for new generation and where such
projects might be located, specifically whether such projects might be located in Santa Barbara County or if the
focus is mainly on the original 3 county participants?
We issued an RFO for long term renewables in conjunction with SVCE. The offers are due tomorrow and we’ll evaluate
the results and select few options for negotiation and eventually signing contracts by Jan 2018. These contract will
provide sufficient power to meet roughly 10% of MBCP’s electricity demand. We’re likely to repeat in 12‐18 months
from now. We have no conceived plans for local generation and hopeful that some of the offers will be well priced to
justify keeping the deal local.
3. It doesn’t look like Santa Barbara County will make a decision to join MBCE by the Thanksgiving time period to
be include in your Phase 2 launch in July 2018. If we were to join later in 2018, is your ballpark cost estimate still
$0 up to $25‐50,000 to modify your implementation plan?
Yes.

Subject:FW: Santa Barbara County MBCE follow up
Good morning, Chris. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your whirlwind visit to Sacramento. The tone was certainly different
at this year’s BLES!
I checked in with Tom at MBCP to see if it was still an option to have the northern part of SB County join them as a back
up to forming a new CCA. Please see his response to one of the questions below – can you weigh in on what your
prospects are for joining MBCP vs starting your own? Also, can we chat about what it might look like if our PG&E
territory were to join with you (and southern with CPA)? I have pretty good availability tomorrow and Thursday. Any
open slots for you?
1. Are there other jurisdictions currently interested in joining MBCP? We made a proposal to provide services to
SLO and Morro Bay, potentially a new CCA to be formed by July.
Thanks,
Jen

Subject: RE: Santa Barbara County MBCE follow up
Hello Tom,
117
I hope this email finds you well. Pacific Energy Advisors has completed our new CCE feasibility study (attached), this time
just for Santa Barbara County rather than our tri‐county region with SLO and Ventura. The new study looks promising for
our elected officials to move forward with a CCE program serving all or part of Santa Barbara County, should they choose
to do so. That said, our Board of Supervisors remains interested—likely as a back‐up option—in splitting ourselves in two
and potentially joining MBCP for the PG&E parts of our county and CPA for the SCE parts.
I’ll be taking the new study results to our Board on July 17. To inform my presentation of options, I would appreciate if
you could advise on the below questions related to MBCP’s interest and process in taking us on. Do you have some time
to discuss in the next week or two?
1. Are you/your board potentially still interested in having Northern Santa Barbara County join MBCP? YES
2. What is the current process for joining MBCP? Have the county pass a resolution expressing the County’s desire
to join MBCP. Once our Board approves of including SBC to our JPA, you’re in.
3. Would a new member have any joining fees? If so, can you help us understand how the fees are calculated,
what they would cover, and whether the fees would be paid back through future revenues generated by
customers located in SB County? There is no fee to join. You may need to front $30,000 to pay for amending our
implementation plan. This fee will be refunded to you roughly 90 days after enrolling SBC customers
4. How soon could a new member’s customers begin receiving electricity service from MBCP? More specifically,
would it be possible to submit an updated implementation plan to the CPUC by January 1, 2019 to begin service
for our customers in 2020? Yes and yes provided the decision to join is made no later than July or August at the
latest
5. What would you need from a new member to update MBCP’s implementation plan? A signed resolution
expressing your desire to join which we can draft for you
6. What is the likelihood that potential future new renewable generation projects could be built in Santa Barbara
County? Good, assuming the price is within acceptable premium to MBCP (inclusive of SBC)
7. Can you describe your current power supply portfolio and overall approach (e.g., content, contract length, plans
for local generation, open position)? So far, we have signed 56 confirmations for hedged price energy, indexed
priced renewable (bucket one), indexed priced carbon free resources (large hydro) and RA. These agreements
range in duration from one month (RA) to four years (carbon free). Our open position range from 20% in 2019 to
70% in 2022. In addition, we, along with SVCE, are in negotiations with 3 developers for wind (200 MW) and
solar + storage (300 MW), of which MBCP’s share will be 225 MW, meeting 18% of our customer demand. We
expect these negotiations to conclude in July and the resources to be online by 2021. Finally, the approved
power resource mix for 2018 is 30% eligible renewable (all bucket one) and 100% carbon free. This is likely to
change in favor of eligible resources in future years
8. Are there other jurisdictions currently interested in joining MBCP? We made a proposal to provide services to
SLO and Morro Bay, potentially a new CCA to be formed by July.
9. For the unincorporated parts of Santa Barbara County to join MBCP, we would also need to join/form another
CCA serving the SCE parts of our county. The CPUC has been unwilling to confirm whether they would accept
this split‐CCA approach to offer service to 100% of our residential customers, as required by PUC Section
366.2(b). This could present a risk to the CPUC certifying your implementation plan should your plan include
unincorporated Santa Barbara County. Are you/would you anticipate your board would accept this risk?
Obviously we’ll need to do some homework to get the CPUC to take position on this issue. To the extent they
stick to the letter of section 366.2 (b), then SBC has a decision to make, they can have the city of SB join while
we litigate the county split with the CPUC or they can have the entire county become a single CCA and struggle
with the issue of devising different generation rates for the County’s north and south section. Either way, I don’t
see any risk to MBCP
Thank you, as always, for letting me pepper you with questions. Any time
Have a wonderful weekend,
Jen

Subject: Santa Barbara County MBCE follow up
Hi Tom,
We presented to the County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors last week on the results of our CCE feasibility study
and options for how to proceed, including the possibility of our North County customers joining MBCE (and LACCE for
our South County customers). Our Board asked us to further study the feasibility of starting our own CCE program, as
well as additional details related to joining MBCE (and LACCE). Can you please respond to the follow‐up questions
below?
1. If Santa Barbara County were to join MBCE, would we have the ability to modify the base electricity product
offered to our customers? Specifically, could we increase the RPS‐eligible renewable energy content above the
planned RPS‐equivalent, say to 50%? Would this incur any additional cost to the County or our customers?
Provided that Santa Barbara join MBCP, all decisions regarding the proper power supply mix, rates, reserve policy, etc.
will be done jointly by the Board of Directors and any decision made by the Board will applicable to all. Regarding
increasing the % of eligible renewable in the mix, it’s very likely that we’ll see the return of SB100 in early 2018, which

Importance: High
Hi everyone,
After taking a pass at the proposals (and given that there are only 3 submitted), I propose that
we invite all 3 teams to interview on the 19th. If that makes sense to everyone else, I’d like to
extend interview invitations tomorrow so folks have extra time to make travel arraignments.
121
Please express your disagreement or agreement with this approach by start of business
tomorrow. If I don’t hear any objections, I will move forward with invitations tomorrow morning.
For the review team, there are no changes to schedule. I still expect review comments to be
submitted to me by 6/12 and everyone is still expected to participate in the 1p conference call
on 6/13.
I’m sure you have also noticed that the price proposals came back very different. To help
compare apples and oranges, Shawn is putting together a comparison of the costs and what
they get us. We should be able to share that with the review team tomorrow afternoon.
Finally, for the interview, I propose that each one be 60 minutes, with a 5 minute vendor
presentation, 30 minutes of standard questions (same across all three proposals), and 25
minutes of proposal specific questions. Please provide thoughts on this by the end of the week.
Given the importance and complicated nature of the interviews, I’d be open to 90 minute
interviews if you all think that is necessary…
Thank you all so much for your help with this. Exciting times!

This is an unusual solicitation because there is no dollar amount. The costs incurred are deferred until the
program is operational, at which point, the revenues from the program will pay the deferred costs. The term of
the contract is also open to negotiation. We describe it in the RFP as, “Requested services are to be provided
during the Program assessment and implementation/launch period, anticipated to be July 2018 – December
2019, followed by a 36 – 48 month initial Program operating period expected to commence on or about
January 1, 2020.”

This looks perfect, thanks Lorraine. Kristen’s name was in the standard RFP template for spec contact, so I
assumed it would be you. If it is consistent with our protocol and policies, I have no problem being the contact.
Thanks again!

This is an unusual solicitation because there is no dollar amount. The costs incurred are deferred until the
program is operational, at which point, the revenues from the program will pay the deferred costs. The term of
the contract is also open to negotiation. We describe it in the RFP as, “Requested services are to be provided
during the Program assessment and implementation/launch period, anticipated to be July 2018 – December
2019, followed by a 36 – 48 month initial Program operating period expected to commence on or about
January 1, 2020.”

Chris,
Great, I will work on the RFP. Do you have a copy (final)?
You will have to add the business names and address to your list, so they can be added to BidSync.

Dear Community Choice Energy Technical and Energy Services Vendors:
We are writing to inform you that the City of San Luis Obispo’s City Council is scheduled to consider
authorizing the release of a Request for Proposals for CCE Technical and Energy Services at its May 15
meeting. The Council Agenda Report for the item (#9) is now available at:
http://www.slocity.org/Home/ShowDocument?id=19421.
Due to condensed project scheduling that is further described in the draft RFP, the response window for
submittals is expected to be three weeks; however, you may review the draft RFP now as an attachment to the
Council Agenda Report. Pending the City Council’s approval, the official RFP should be available via Bid Sync
no later than May 17. City staff will be conducting an optional pre-proposal conference in City Hall (and
available via conference call) on May 24th at 11:00 AM.
We look forward to reviewing your proposal.

Yes that was my suggestion to Juliette and Becky but it seems they are more interested in just talking about the compass

have to schedule that for the second half of the day.
201
As for Juliette and Becky‐ we should have a short session early in the day to talk about all the different planning
requirements and efforts out there that locals are on the hook for. They can be part of that context setting. Does that
make sense?
Thanks,
Abby

HI ABBY
I can field calls if it's problematic for you until we have leadership in place. Ruth Langridge was on my list to contact. IT
would be great to have her involved.
Also, how do we want Becky Lundy and Juliette Hart to plug into the conference...as speakers or jsut participants? They
suggested Michael McCormick to do the Overview of GP, LHMP, and Other Policy Context which I'd feel more
comfortable with as I don't know the nuances of the policy context and not sure who else does on steering committee.
Michael indicates he is coming. Maybe extend invite soon?
Then perhaps Becky and Juliette could talk at the end of the day on their compass tool in development?
Waht do you think? Thx.

Hi Tiffany, Chris, and Rachel,
This is the second email or call I’ve gotten to find out more about the project and the Collaborative in general. I’m okay
with taking this call and filling people in on the workshop, but I wanted to let you know I’m starting to get more inquiries
because Zak cc’ed me on the email blasts yesterday, and folks can’t find any specific contact info on the 4C website
(maybe something to think about for the future).
202
If any of you prefer to field these calls, let me know. Otherwise, I can take the calls, do my best to get them to the
workshop, and then the follow‐up connections can happen on site.
Also, I talked to Ruth Langridge from UC Santa Cruz, who is putting in a grant to the SGC on land use and climate change
on the Central Coast, along with Tamara Wilson from USGS. She’s doing some interesting work and wants to stay
plugged into this project.
All good news!

I talk to Mark very regularly and was the one who sent him the invite. You can send him back to me. They won’t have
surplus $ for some time and it will go through a length appropriation/evaluation process but yes it could be that some
gets prioritized toward climate resilience. But I think it has to have some kind of energy nexus.

Hi Tiffany, Chris, and Rachel,
I just had a great call with Mark Bachman at Monterey Bay Community Power. They’re a community choice energy
agency doing some great work in Santa Cruz, San Benito and Monterey Counties. They’re really curious about working
with the Collaborative.
I mentioned some of your challenges with staff and a fiscal agent, and he talked about how flexible they can be with
their surplus revenues, including possibly teaming up to hire staff and work on projects together. It sounds like they’re
interested in engaging on replicable models for creating resilient energy systems, which is a big topic but lots of
potential overlap.
He’s checking to see who from MBCP can come to the workshop, but I suggested he talk to someone on the Steering
Committee in advance, in case there are some real collaborations we could think about in advance, then follow‐up on in
person, maybe even on April 25 with the full Steering Committee.
Can I follow up by giving him your names and contact info? Maybe Tiffany and Chris especially with your portfolios that
touch on energy more than Rachel’s?
Thanks,
Abby

Hi Tom and Marc,
I hope you are well. When we last spoke, I was helping lead the County of San Luis Obispo CCE effort. Since
then, I have transitioned to a new role at the City of San Luis Obispo.
CCE is a top priority for the City this year. As Marc saw, our Council’s direction in December was to consider
creating our own regional CCE, while also learning more about the MBCP option as an alternative approach.
Given the length of time since we last spoke, I am hoping to reconnect on a number of issues related to
potentially joining MBCP. Let us know if you have some availability in the next several weeks to talk for 30 to
60 minutes, and we will work to accommodate your schedule.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for reaching out.
Tom has asked Bren to schedule a conference call to include Tom, Mark Bachman and myself.
She will reach out to you with some preferred times for a 30‐60 minute call.
We look forward to circling back, now that we have launched Phase I, to hear what progress you are making in SLO and
how we might assist in your efforts.

Hi Tom and Marc,
I hope you are well. When we last spoke, I was helping lead the County of San Luis Obispo CCE effort. Since
then, I have transitioned to a new role at the City of San Luis Obispo.
CCE is a top priority for the City this year. As Marc saw, our Council’s direction in December was to consider
creating our own regional CCE, while also learning more about the MBCP option as an alternative approach.
223
Given the length of time since we last spoke, I am hoping to reconnect on a number of issues related to
potentially joining MBCP. Let us know if you have some availability in the next several weeks to talk for 30 to
60 minutes, and we will work to accommodate your schedule.
Thank you for you time; we look forward to speaking with you.

Subject: City of San Luis Obispo / MBCP Check‐In
Hi Tom and Marc,
I hope you are well. When we last spoke, I was helping lead the County of San Luis Obispo CCE effort. Since
then, I have transitioned to a new role at the City of San Luis Obispo.
CCE is a top priority for the City this year. As Marc saw, our Council’s direction in December was to consider
creating our own regional CCE, while also learning more about the MBCP option as an alternative approach.
Given the length of time since we last spoke, I am hoping to reconnect on a number of issues related to
potentially joining MBCP. Let us know if you have some availability in the next several weeks to talk for 30 to
60 minutes, and we will work to accommodate your schedule.
Thank you for you time; we look forward to speaking with you.
Best,
Chris Read

Hi Chris,
Thank you for reaching out.
Tom has asked Bren to schedule a conference call to include Tom, Mark Bachman and myself.
She will reach out to you with some preferred times for a 30‐60 minute call.
We look forward to circling back, now that we have launched Phase I, to hear what progress you are making in SLO and
how we might assist in your efforts.
Best Regards,
‐Marc
