Summary of Discussion Topics & Community Input in Fairmead

Accessibility of Programs and Discussion

The Fairmead presentation was conducted entirely in English, with real-time

translation to Spanish provided by headset.

1. Overview and Introduction [CPUC]

Statements by Commissioner Martha Guzman-Aceves:

o The Commissioner introduced the CPUC and the CPUC staff working on

this proceeding. The Commissioner described the CPUC’s function and how

it is focused on several parts of the economy including electricity, natural

gas, telecommunications, water, rail and transportation, including recently

Uber and Lyft.

o Commissioner Martha Guzman-Aceves will propose potential projects for

investments, but is going to need the support of the other Commissioners.

Several steps will be required to obtain their support.

o There are a variety of current programs that the CPUC offers – such as

CARE, which provides electricity discounts. The discussion at this

workshop is important because the Commission can offer different types of

programs.

o California is already experiencing the impacts of climate change. One of

California’s goals is to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution

by 80 percent by 2050. Energy is one of the sectors that impacts GHG

pollution. California is reducing its reliance on natural gas to meet climate

and air quality goals.

o The Commissioner also discussed pollution resulting from emissions of fine

A-3

particulates on a scale of very dirty to very clean.

o The Commissioner asked, “Why are we here?” In 2014, Assembly Bill 2672

passed by Assemblyman Perea – directed the CPUC to seek solutions for

communities lacking access to natural gas and affordable energy options.

After Assembly Bill 2672 passed in the California Legislature, the

Commission began the San Joaquin Valley proceeding. From the 170

disadvantaged communities identified in Phase 1, 12 pilot communities were

chosen to potentially host pilot projects. Phase 2, the current phase of the

proceeding, is to explore the pilot projects. The Commissioner’s goal is to

facilitate investment in all 12 communities, but this goal and the selected

pilots must be voted on by all five CPUC Commissioners.

o The Commissioner presented a map of all 170 disadvantaged communities.

Some communities have partial natural gas service, others have none. She

also presented a map of the 12 proposed pilot communities including

Fairmead with an estimated 385 households. PG&E provides electricity

service and partial natural gas service in Fairmead.

o Residential electric alternatives (to convert propane to electric) will be

presented today as ideas for potential pilots. The CPUC is here to listen to

your input. The Commissioner will make a recommendation and return to

the Central Valley with what the Commission can do, but she will not be able

to come back to every community. The Commission needs you to go to

cities such as Fresno and Visalia to attend the future public participation

hearings. The Commissioner’s Advisor Sarah Sharpe is here in Fresno if you

have questions, or you can visit the CPUC website or send a letter to the

CPUC. The Commissioner asked attendees to please subscribe to the service

list so they can know when the public participation hearings will be held.

A-4

o Next steps after community energy option assessment workshops in May-

June 2018 include the following:

• CPUC releases staff recommendation for pilot phase (August 2018),

• Workshops on staff proposal with parties (August 2018),

• Public participation hearings (2-3) in larger cities in San Joaquin

Valley (September 2018),

• Administrative Law Judge and Commissioner release a Proposed

Decision (Fall 2018), and

• Commissioners vote on Proposed Decision (Fall 2018).

• If Proposed Decision is approved, pilot work could potentially begin

Winter 2018-2019.

o This will be a quick turnaround so the Commission needs communities to

say what they prefer, today. We are here to listen today.

• Customer asked what are the two choices being offered to the 12 pilot

communities. The Commissioner responded with the two choices

being offered to the 12 pilot communities: 1) helping propane go all

electric (two options will be presented tonight) or 2) gas extension.

Customer asked if solar is a part of the options being presented

tonight. The Commissioner responded, affirmatively.

• Customer asked how the pilots will be funded. The Commissioner

responded that both recommendations are proposed to be funded by

PG&E’s ratepayers, except those in the pilot communities. This is a

proposal.

2. Overview of community energy options [Utilities/Third Parties]

Larsen Plano (PG&E) – Electric Presentation

o Mr. Plano introduced PG&E's electric proposal to take homes that are on

propane and convert to all electric service, which is called electrification.

Few things to note: 1) This is a proposal that could change, 2) We need your

feedback, and 3) It is important to know what you like and do not like.

o Mr. Plano presented a map of PG&E’s electric and gas service territories.

o The benefits of PG&E’s proposed electrification option are: 1) new efficient

electric appliances, 2) lower energy cost, 3) improvements to make your

home more comfortable and safer and 4) opportunities for qualified local

contractors to participate.

o Elements of PG&E’s proposed electrification option: 1) you will be switched

to a program where PG&E will purchase electricity from solar in California

that is not on your roof, 2) PG&E would replace propane (or wood)

appliances with efficient appliances, and 3) PG&E would perform other

work to improve your home comfort, safety and air quality.

o Mr. Plano asked the audience to first raise their hand if they use propane,

then to raise their hand if they have natural gas service. About half of the

audience raised their hands to indicate they receive propane service, and

about half of the audience raised their hands to indicate they receive gas

service. Mr. Plano said the community is probably wondering what their

savings will be from this proposal. The bill savings calculations on the slides

assume you use propane today. But PG&E still has solutions for those who

are on natural gas service.

A-6

o Mr. Plano asked the audience to raise their hand if they use wood. 3

customers raised their hands.

o Mr. Plano explained that with PG&E’s proposed electrification option,

customers will see their electric bill increase slightly since you have new

electric appliances. But the propane bill goes away. Then after the propane

bill goes away, the electric bill goes up slightly, but you overall save.

o PG&E expects propane customers in Fairmead will save between $1,000-

$1,300 per year after conversion from propane to electric appliances.

o If the electric proposal goes forward, the following changes will happen to a

customers’ home: 1) PG&E will remove old propane appliances and replace

them with new, efficient electric appliances. A customer will receive a new

cooking stove/oven, a new hot water heater to replace a heat pump water

heater, a new space heating/cooling system, and a new clothes dryer, 2)

PG&E will upgrade the electrical wiring and panel, if needed, and 3) PG&E

will make other improvements such as air sealing to reduce drafts, insulation,

lighting replacements, replacing old refrigerators, and new microwave.

• Customer asked what will happen to a tankless water heater. Mr.

Plano responded that it will be taken out and replaced with a more

efficient heat pump water heater.

• Customer asked if she will get an appliance of similar quality to her

old one. Mr. Plano said these questions are important for PG&E to

hear. If it is important for customers to receive the same brand, color,

or level of quality of appliance, it is good for PG&E to hear that

today. Price reflected in these slides is for a more efficient appliance,

but not a high-end appliance.

A-7

• Customer asked if his name needs to be changed on his PG&E bill,

who can help him. The Commissioner indicated that a PG&E

customer service representative is present to address questions

pertaining to his bill.

o Advantages of PG&E’s proposed electrification option include 1) save

$1,000 to $1,300 per year on energy bill, 2) eliminate propane and wood

usage, 3) improvements to home air quality, safety and comfort, 4) reduced

GHG, and 5) having just one energy bill.

o Disadvantages of PG&E’s proposed electrification option include: 1) many

contractor visits - for refrigerator, water heater, dryer, etc., 2) if electric

outage occurs, it would affect heating and hot water, and 3) customers may

prefer propane for cooking.

• Customer asked what would happen to fireplaces on propane. Mr.

Plano said that is a good question. The proposal is to take propane

away entirely not just for heating and appliances.

• Customer asked if the CARE program is part of this option. Mr.

Plano responded that yes, one of the main advantages of going from

propane to electric is you can still use CARE. There may be some

customers already on CARE. Customers will not lose CARE. The

plan is to dissolve propane and go all-electric. This is a proposal to

get community input of what PG&E may be missing, and what the

community wants and needs.

• Customer stated it seems electricity is higher priced than natural gas.

Mr. Plano responded generally that statement is true when heating

house with natural gas, as natural gas is more efficient when heating

A-8

the home. Commissioner Guzman-Aceves asked PG&E to provide

its estimate for extending gas to Fairmead. Mr. Plano stated its

estimate to extend natural gas to Fairmead is approximately $100k

per home for natural gas extension versus $36k per home for this

proposed electrification option. PG&E will offset increased cost of

heating a home with more efficient appliances and a discount to

decrease the electric bill. PG&E is trying to balance the cost

effectiveness to ratepayers. PG&E proposes that Fairmead customers

will not pay the $36k per home. PG&E’s ratepayers in aggregate will

pay.

• Customers asked if community centers, businesses, and other non-

residential customers would qualify for solar. Mr. Plano responded

that right now they are not included, but that is another element that

PG&E is seeking feedback on.

Tom Esqueda (GRID Alternatives) and Mina Jimenez (Proteus) presented the GRID

Alternatives/Proteus/Tesla proposal as summarized below:

o GRID Alternatives, Proteus and Tesla is the Clean Energy Program Team.

GRID has significant history with solar serving 12 counties in the Fresno

area. Proteus also has a strong presence in the Central Valley. This team is

going through the San Joaquin Valley counties and bringing home upgrades

to these communities, increasing comfort in each home, air quality, reducing

GHG emissions, and water conservation measures. Home upgrades will

include new electric appliances such as, refrigerator, stove, dryers, water

heater, and other heating systems.

o GRID and Proteus have been working as a team since 2009. Proteus works

A-9

with high schools to provide job training and local hiring. Proteus offers

training classes to learn solar industry skills. Once students are certified and

pass the classes, they can work on solar panels.

o Tesla provides battery energy storage to store your own energy in the event

there was a grid outage. The battery would be installed on your home, away

from the house. GRID and Proteus have construction certification to conduct

these minor home upgrades. The GRID Team explained home energy

upgrades included and how community solar looks: new solar panels will be

installed in one central, to-be-determined area, not on roofs. Benefits of

solar will be shared with all households in the community. Each community

member will receive a credit for what those solar panels produces. Eligible

individuals include those who rent, own, in a mobile home, whichever home

– you would get savings as long as you have an electric bill. The large solar

array is a cleaner, more reliable, and less expensive source of energy. The

financial benefits from this energy option will be at a cost savings of $1,600-

$2,500 annually. Solar is a clean and better source of energy. This proposal

converts your home to all electric. Your new propane payment will be $0. A

visual was provided of how the community solar project works – with a

dedicated portion to each household. This proposal maximizes household

savings with new solar panels relying on the sun that are not on top of your

roof. GRID is responsible for maintenance of system.

o Proposed home electrification upgrades include: appliances will be replaced,

energy efficiency measures, may need home repairs, which are also included

to ensure home is up to code, and battery storage that provides energy if

power were to go out.

o The Clean Energy Program timeline and process was presented. The Clean

A-10

Energy Program Team would work together with the communities to ensure

this process is an efficient process to do a good job in your home. Time can

vary depending on the needs of your home. Each home would be unique.

o Residents in nearby communities may also receive benefits. There is no cost

to program participants. Costs would be recovered through utility sources

and incentives at a cost of approximately $34,000 per home.

• Customer asked who is eligible. GRID and Proteus responded that

everyone would get the benefit – whether you are a renter, home

owner, or mobile home. The battery will also kick in if the electricity

goes out as it is located at your residence.

• Customer asked where these services will be offered. GRID and

Proteus responded that these services will be offered to all customers

in Fairmead and to other customers nearby as well.

• Customer asked if there will be any cost to the Fairmead customers.

GRID and Proteus responded that there will be no cost to Fairmead

customers. The utilities or tax credits will be responsible for paying

the cost of the pilot. The battery will be yours.

• Customer asked if battery will eventually need to be replaced. GRID

and Proteus confirmed that the battery will need to be replaced at the

end of its useful life.

• Customer asked if their refrigerator is a better quality than what is

offered, what can be done about that. GRID and Proteus stated there

are standard energy efficient appliances that are included. They may

not be the top of the line, but they are designed to meet your needs.

Customers are not forced to change appliances.

A-11

• Customer asked if there is any community where GRID and Proteus

tried this pilot. GRID and Proteus responded that in California they

have not done a solar project but have a history with solar projects.

• Customer asked if they would have to pay the money used for this

pilot back to GRID and Proteus. GRID and Proteus confirmed there

is no cost to Fairmead customers. GRID and Proteus believe the

reason Fairmead customers would pay nothing is because when the

utilities are expanding services, it is the role of the utility to pay for

the expansion of the service. GRID and Proteus reminded attendees

that this is a proposal.

• Customer asked how much the battery pack costs. Tesla confirmed

that a fully maintained and serviced battery is included in the

proposal. The cost starts at a few thousand dollars.

• Customer asked how far the battery pack can be from the home to

effectively bring electricity to the home. Tesla said the distance from

the home does not change the effectiveness of the battery.

• Customer asked PG&E if PG&E has done community solar before.

Mr. Plano pointed to Cantua Creek as an example of community

solar. Customer asked where the community solar would be located.

Mr. Plano indicated the community solar would be located

somewhere in the State. GRID indicated their solar will be located

closer to the community.

• Customer asked whether they need to have equity in their home to

qualify. GRID and Proteus responded that customers do not need to

have equity in their home to qualify.

A-12

• Customer asked if there is any restriction based on household size.

GRID and Proteus said no, but there may be county requirements

they would need to abide by. Also, both proposals today cover

updated wiring to cover the increased electric needs from the new

appliances.

• The Commissioner reiterated that other Commissioners may not be

convinced to spend the amounts presented today. The approved

amount per home may be much less – could be $1,000 per home,

could be $10,000 per home. This is why it is important to hear today

what is most important to the community.

• GRID and Proteus reminded the audience that their proposal includes

the benefits associated with being in the community, which are job

opportunities and training.

• Customer who works as an electrician entered the room asking for a

brief summary of the 2 proposals. The Commissioner responded that

the 2 proposals are unique. PG&E’s proposal is going to allocate

customer use to solar. GRID proposal will have a full service solar

array in the community.

• Customer asked if there is an advantage for the solar being closer to

the community. GRID and Proteus said the advantages are job

opportunities, training, and gaining the skills associated with solar.

The solar array may not be within the community boundary but

would be in the area. GRID’s central office is in Fresno. It would

work with the community to provide job opportunities.

• The Commissioner reminded the community that if it is important for

A-13

the solar project to be in the community, let us know.

• Customer asked what happens to solar in summer versus winter time.

GRID and Proteus explained the solar array is able to generate

electricity throughout the year, but more credits would be received in

the summer versus the winter when there are more cloudy days.

• The Commissioner clarified the discount structure between the 2

proposals. PG&E proposes a fixed 10 percent discount. GRID’s

discount fluctuates.

• The Commissioner asked what are the times for PG&E’s time of use

rates. Sid Dietz (PG&E) responded that it depends on the tariff.

• The Commissioner asked the community if there are any preferences

for gas versus electric appliances. A customer stated she prefers gas

appliances. Some customers asked again how expensive the

appliances will be that they will get. The Commissioner suggested

the customers recommend an amount. Some customers also

mentioned the importance for the proposal to be offered to churches

and businesses.

3. Listening session: Questions on energy options and next steps [Pilot Team Moderated discussion

with public]

Leslie Martinez and Erica Fernandez Zamora from Leadership Counsel for Justice

and Accountability (on behalf of the Pilot Team) circulated a questionnaire to be

filled out by the community members.

4. Wrap up, Q&A and next steps [CPUC]

o The Commissioner shared the timeline and process from her presentation

A-14

earlier.

o Mr. Plano asked the community whether they like contractors coming out to

their homes. Customer asked how many times. Mr. Plano asked, “if was 5-6

times would they be concerned?” Customer said 5-6 times would not be a

concern but 5-6 contractors at the same time would be a concern.

o The Commissioner asked members at one table about how much are their

propane costs. One customer stated she fills up twice a year, but does not

need that much, so it cost $275 for each fill up. Cost depends on how long

you are with the propane company. Another customer stated it can be about

$3.50 a gallon but costs do vary.

El camino de California hacia adelante

– Meta: reduzca dramáticamente la contaminación de los gases de invernadero-80% reducción por 2050

– Objetivo: centrarse en las comunidades con alta contaminación y pobreza

– Objetivo: eliminar gradualmente los combustibles fósiles de todos los sectores para satisfacer 50% de energía renovable por 2030

– CPUC se centró en los sectores de energía y transporte

6A-41

Transición a la energíarenovable de California

Estrategias de CPUC:• Usar menos energía-

con programas de eficiencia energética

• Energía más limpia-aumentando las fuentes de energía renovables

7A-42

Gas natural en residencias• Propano y gas natural = combustibles fósiles

(fuente no renovable de energía)• Utilizado sobre todo para la calefacción, la agua

caliente, para secar la ropa y cocinar• California está reduciendo su dependencia del

gas natural para cumplir con los objetivos de calidad del clima y del aire

Summary of Discussion Topics & Community Input in Cantua Creek


The Cantua Creek presentation was conducted entirely in Spanish, with real-time

translation to English provided by headset.

This summary is based on the real-time Spanish-to-English translation provided, not

the original Spanish in which the workshop was conducted.

1. Overview and Introduction [CPUC]

The Commissioner’s Advisor Sarah Sharpe introduced a community member and

representatives from Leadership Council who will speak today.

A community member explained the history of the community and the work that is

proposed to be done here. She talked about the needs of the community: 1) First is

water, which is very bad quality, 2) Second is the prices for energy and propane,

which are high, and 3) Third is the transportation cost for energy, which is also high.

This is a small community so there is nearly no public transportation – only one

called Come and Go is available. That transportation is a good support for the

community, which the community needs help on to get more public transportation.

The community members use propane for cooking, heating in the winter, and for hot

water heaters, so they want the CPUC’s help to see what is the best option so energy

can be less expensive. Some community members are single mothers, one income,

or fixed income, so the community needs help.

Statements by Commissioner’s Advisor Sarah Sharpe:

o Ms. Sharpe introduced the CPUC and the CPUC staff working on this

proceeding. Ms. Sharpe described the CPUC’s function and how it is

focused on several parts of the economy including electricity, natural gas,

B-3

telecommunications, water, rail and transportation, including recently Uber

and Lyft.

o Commissioner Guzman-Aceves will propose potential projects for

investments, but is going to need the support of the other Commissioners.

Several steps will be required to obtain their support.

o There are a variety of current programs that the CPUC offers – such as

CARE, which provides electricity discounts. The discussion at this

workshop is important because the Commission can offer different types of

programs.


California’s goals is to dramatically reduce GHG pollution by 80 percent by

2050. Energy is one of the sectors that impacts GHG pollution. California is

reducing its reliance on natural gas to meet climate and air quality goals.

o Ms. Sharpe also discussed pollution resulting from emissions of fine

particulates on a scale of very dirty to very clean.

o Ms. Sharpe asked, “Why are we here?” In 2014, Assembly Bill 2672 passed

by Assemblyman Perea – directed the CPUC to seek solutions for






proceeding, is to explore the pilot projects. Commissioner Guzman-Aceves’

goal is to facilitate investment in all 12 communities, but this goal and the

selected pilots must be voted on by all five CPUC Commissioners.

B-4

o Ms. Sharpe presented a map of all 170 disadvantaged communities. Some

communities have partial natural gas service, others have none. She also

presented a map of the 12 proposed pilot communities including Cantua

Creek with an estimated 121 households. PG&E provides electricity service

and no natural gas service in Cantua Creek.

o Residential electric alternatives (to convert propane to electric) will be

presented today as ideas for potential pilots. The CPUC is here to listen to

your input. Commissioner Guzman-Aceves will make a recommendation

and return to the Central Valley with what the Commission can do, but she

will not be able to come back to every community. The Commission needs

you to go to cities such as Fresno and Visalia to attend the future public

participation hearings. Ms. Sharpe is here in Fresno if you have questions, or

you can visit the CPUC website or send a letter to the CPUC. Ms. Sharpe

asked attendees to please subscribe to the service list so they can know when

the public participation hearings will be held.




• Workshops on staff proposal with parties (August 2018),

• Public participation hearings (2-3) in larger cities in San Joaquin

Valley (September 2018),




B-5


Winter 2018-2019.

o This will be a quick turnaround so the Commission needs communities to

say what they prefer today. We are here to listen today.

2. Listening session #1: Gather community feedback on current energy conditions and needs [Pilot

Team Moderated discussion with community panel]


and Accountability (on behalf of the Pilot Team) led a discussion to gather

community feedback.

o Pilot Team asked: “Who now using propane?” Most community members

raised their hands.

o Pilot Team asked: “Who uses natural gas?” A few from neighboring

community El Porvenir raised their hands.

o Pilot Team asked: “What do you like and dislike about propane?”

o Customer stated propane is expensive and goes up in the winter. Customer

has to pay the amount of rent a month for propane. Customer pays $65 for

just the tank. To fill the tank, it can cost sometimes $200, other times $300.

That $300 is paid every 3 months. About 5 in the audience pay about that.

o Customer with a big tank pays almost $700 for 6 months, so $1400 a year.

o Customer said if the heater is turned on, there is not enough money left, so he

just puts another cover on himself to keep warm.

o Pilot Team asked who uses propane stoves. A majority of the customers

present use propane stoves.

B-6

o Pilot Team asked, “Would you change propane stove to electric?” Customer

said he likes the propane stove because there is no other option.

o Customer stated propane use is good but it is expensive. Natural gas is less

expensive and stronger as the fire lights up stronger. Customer spends about

$900 a year on propane.

o Customer said when she cannot stand the cold, then she turns on the heater

because in the bedrooms she just uses a plug-in heater. The whole house

heater is used starting in November when it starts getting colder. Customer

spends about $400 a year on propane gas.

o Customer says she has to face the cold because she cannot afford to pay for

gas. She has to use electric heaters. Her electric bill is $170-190 a month.

o Another customer stated he pays $200 almost for electricity but does not

know why. He stated, “if we all have the same type of house, and other

houses pay $30, I do not understand the difference.” Customer uses propane

only for stove. Costs $280 for propane. Customer would like someone from

PG&E to come check his box to see if something is wrong with it. Bill goes

up for no reason. Customer does not know why his bill is so different every

month. Pilot Team pointed customer to PG&E’s customer service staff who

were in attendance to address his concerns.

3. Overview of community energy options [Utilities/Third Parties]

Maira Salazar (PG&E) – Electric Presentation in Spanish

o Ms. Salazar indicated that today she is going to provide some options PG&E

has prepared for Cantua Creek. PG&E would like to hear what you like and

do not like.

B-7

o Ms. Salazar first talked about what the Company does. She presented a map

of PG&E’s electric and gas service territories.

o The benefits of PG&E’s proposed electrification option are: 1) new efficient

electric appliances, 2) lower energy cost, 3) improvements to make your

home more comfortable and safer and 4) opportunities for qualified local

contractors to participate.

o Elements of PG&E’s proposed electrification option: 1) you will be switched

to a program where PG&E will purchase electricity from solar in California

that is not on your roof, 2) PG&E would replace propane (or wood)

appliances with efficient appliances, and 3) PG&E would perform other

work to improve your home comfort, safety and air quality.

o Ms. Salazar explained how customers’ energy bills will go down. PG&E

will replace the propane appliances with electric ones so the propane bills

will be eliminated.

o PG&E expects propane customers in Cantua Creek will save between

$1,000-$1,400 per year after conversion from propane to electric appliances.

o If the electric proposal goes forward, the following changes will happen to a

customers’ home: 1) PG&E will remove old propane appliances and replace

them with new, efficient electric appliances. A customer will receive a new

cooking stove/oven, a new hot water heater to replace a heat pump water

heater, a new space heating/cooling system, and a new clothes dryer, 2)

PG&E will upgrade the electrical wiring and panel, if needed, and 3) PG&E

will make other improvements such as air sealing to reduce drafts, insulation,

lighting replacements, replacing old refrigerators, and new microwave.

o Advantages of PG&E’s proposed electrification option include: 1) save

B-8

$1,000 to $1,400 per year on energy bill, 2) eliminate propane and wood

usage, 3) improvements to home air quality, safety and comfort, 4) reduced

GHG, and 5) having just one energy bill.

o Disadvantages of PG&E’s proposed electrification option include: 1) the

contractors will be visiting your home, 2) loss of electricity would affect

your appliances, and 3) customers may prefer to cook with propane.

o This is a proposal. No questions were asked.

Tom Esqueda (GRID Alternatives) and Hector Uriarte (Proteus) presented the GRID

Alternatives/Proteus/Tesla proposal as summarized below:

o Proteus started in 1967 working with farmworkers so they can have a better

life. Proteus has worked with GRID for more than 10 years. GRID and

Proteus want to bring better quality of life and reduced energy bills to Cantua

Creek. Mr. Esqueda is from GRID Alternatives. GRID brings solar energy

to over 10,000 families with job opportunities in communities like Cantua

Creek. In this proposal, GRID does not want to install solar on your roof.

Solar energy will come from a central location. GRID will replace the

appliances for electric, and a battery will come from Tesla, with one in each

of your homes. If you lose electricity, you will get the benefit of the battery.

The community will have the opportunity to work with Proteus. Proteus has

many high schools where it works with the students and also provides job

placements. Proteus has programs where they can teach people to do this

solar type of work. Many people use solar, so the opportunity is vast for this

work. Goal is to lower your cost by up to about $2,400 per year. This

energy is cleaner from the sun. GRID and Proteus will identify all

appliances that need to be replaced to get rid of propane and wood. This will

B-9

get rid of the propane bill, saving you 45 percent after GRID and Proteus put

in the new appliances – this is going to change everything. GRID and

Proteus is going to lower cost for each home by approximately $1,700-

$2,400 annually.

o GRID and Proteus pointed to slide with the panels the community will

benefit from stating, “See how many panels we’ll have there.” These panels

will be in another place, not on your home. All customers will be able to use

the solar energy. Also, when GRID puts the solar in place, they are going to

be responsible to maintain the system. If something happens, GRID will

come and fix it themselves. You will not have to do anything but use the

energy from the sun. Proteus will train you to install the solar system so your

children can learn too. GRID and Proteus is going to replace use of wood

and propane with electric appliances - going to change everything - how you

clean your clothes and heat house - all will be changed. GRID and Proteus is

going to make sure your home is well sealed. Also, GRID, Proteus and Tesla

is going to do everything so you can use everything from the solar system

and the battery. If you lose electricity, you can use the battery.

o GRID and Proteus presented a slide indicating how much time they will be in

each home – estimated time is 1-2 hours for each visit. Electricity is going to

take 1-2 days then going to activate everything, which takes a couple of days.

To install the solar system will happen from another place. If GRID and

Proteus needs to change something, it will take 1-2 hours, not too much in

each home. The entire community will be able to obtain the solar energy.

This is for everyone who lives here. All of you will get this service from the

solar system and battery for when there is no electricity. Also, if battery

installation is not possible because roof requires more work, then you will

B-10

still receive the benefits from the solar system. The proposal is: currently

you are paying $115 for propane and $120 for electric. You will not pay

propane. You will only pay electric of $66 per month. GRID and Proteus

will decrease your bill by 45 percent. Monthly and annual savings will be

$169 and $2,029 at no cost to you.

• Customer stated the following given his concern with the President’s

position on solar projects: “I know that solar projects in California

and the country started with Obama. He always talked about solar

projects. Now we have a different administration that is against these

projects. What is the chance the President will do away with these

plans?” The Commissioner’s Advisor stated that since these are

California state programs, with a State Governor protecting

Californians’ rights, our State is very dedicated to solar and all the

programs to clean up the energy in California.

• Proteus stated that the State of California has to meet the State’s goals

for renewable energy.

• The Commissioner’s Advisor stated the Commission has more

control on energy issues since the Commission controls the energy

companies in the State.

• Customer asked, “Do we buy the appliances or are they going to be

provided?” The Commissioner’s Advisor stated no, you do not buy

the appliances, and that is part of both proposals.

• Customer from El Provenier asked if they are included in the

proposals. GRID and Proteus confirmed they are included because

they are part of the Cantua Creek area. PG&E will have to go back to

B-11

confirm. The Commissioner’s Advisor commented she did not know

there were two communities, but she has a map to confirm. The

Commissioner’s Advisor stated that if El Provenier wants to be part

of this community, tell us now. Customer says only difference is El

Provenier has natural gas.

• Customer asked on GRID and Proteus proposal, if the savings will be

stable monthly whether customer uses the electricity or not. GRID

and Proteus stated the numbers provided are just estimates and it is

not a set payment savings. Savings depends on how much energy

you use.

• Customer commented that they like the GRID and Proteus proposal

more as it is a little more help for the community. Another customer

also likes the GRID and Proteus proposal more because PG&E is

saying if there is a power outage, there will be a power outage. But

with GRID and Proteus, there is power backup from Tesla battery.

• Customer commented that both PG&E’s and the GRID and Proteus

proposal are 2 favorable options. Customer is looking at the situation

they are in right now, and given that, customer is interested in solar,

but has concerns with federal regulations that may change. Customer

believes lawmakers could threaten the project.

• Pilot Team asked: “How many of you would like solar?” 14


• Customer is concerned that after changing everything to electricity,

she may get a really high bill, and that is her fear.

• Customer from El Provenier on all natural gas pays at most $70.

B-12

Now, here in Cantua Creek it is at least $100 something. Jan-Feb

propane bills can go up to $300.

• Pilot Team asked: “How many of you will be interested in

electrification? All appliances will go electric for free.” 17


• Customer mentioned she used to pay $300 a month like lady who just

said she spends $300.

• Customer asked if there is something PG&E can do to give credit to

make the electric bill less expensive. Customer lives in a part of the

community where everything is all electric. Electric does not go up

that much during the summer, but in the month of November even if

you do not use the heater, PG&E still charges. And if there is more

usage, then bill will really go up.

• Pilot Team asked: “How many of you are interested in using both gas

and electric appliances?” Three customers raised their hands.

Customer stated gas is more expensive, so bills would be the same.

Pilot Team asked, “Who wants another energy source than gas?”

Five customers raised their hands.

• Customer would like to know if in both proposals if the companies

can go half and half propane gas and electric. The Commissioner’s

Advisor stated that is a good question. Proposals are to get rid of

propane for good. But these proposals are expensive. It is possible

that the State or Commission would choose something less expensive

like maybe to only change two appliances, for example. Proposal is

for you not to pay. All the customers of PG&E would pay for this

B-13

proposal. Six to seven million of the customers in the State would

pay. It is going to be difficult to get votes from all the

Commissioners since it is a big investment in small communities.

• Pilot Team reminded the community that there will not be any

expense to them. PG&E will charge the other residents in the State

that pay electricity. From 170, the CPUC picked 12 pilot

communities including Cantua Creek. This would be an experiment

to see if the pilots can produce cleaner, cheaper energy. Pilot Team

said it is important to answer the survey that will provided later

today.

• Customer asked why there is no proposal for natural gas for Cantua

Creek. Pilot Team explained the reason why is because the

Commission is looking at a less expensive solution for the

community. Natural gas will be more expensive because the pipeline

is not already in the community.

• The Commissioner’s Advisor said because there are 12 communities

that the CPUC wants to offer something and 170 to also offer

something to - if it costs several million dollars per community, it is

too expensive for the PG&E customers to pay. It would be difficult

to raise everyone's bills to help 12 communities. But the Commission

is trying to see what is less expensive to bring the community savings

and reach California’s clean energy goals. There are many things to

consider.

• Ms. Salazar says it would cost more than $25 million to bring natural

gas to the community. Option today is only for electric due to lower

B-14

cost and because it benefits our environment.

• Ms. Salazar stated that a majority of her appliances are electric. Like

everything, she had to learn how to use those appliances when they

were switched. In the summer, you can dry your clothes on the line.

And in the winter, you can see online how much you consume on

pge.com. If you continue using as you are using, you will get an

alert, and there are customer service representatives to help you.

Market changes affect future electric prices. The Commission may

not be able to offer proposals that are costly, but wants to find

proposal that will work for your house.

• Customer wants to know if she does not want to get any of the

proposals, can she only get the appliances. Ms. Salazar indicated

there is the CARE/ESA program where contractor comes in that you

can call PG&E and qualify for. Pilot Team reminded those who are

already on CARE, this program will not affect CARE. You will get

an additional discount on your bill on top of CARE for each proposal.

• Customer asked if part of the community decides to stay how they are

and part of the community wants to change to electricity, would that

be possible? Ms. Salazar stated these proposals are voluntary.

PG&E will not bring in the natural gas lines and not all the houses

have to participate. But it is an option that is being offered to these

12 communities. If you decide not to participate, you can still get the

10 percent discount. GRID stated their credit is 45 percent of the

electric usage. Cost can go up and down, but credit will be 45

percent of the usage.

B-15

• Customer stated doubt because customer cannot imagine all the

panels will work the same, as there are offers from those who install

solar on the roof, but after they provide the amounts that customer

will save and solar is installed, bill turned out higher. That makes the

customer question the difference from the ones on the roof. GRID,

Proteus, and Ms. Salazar stated they are not talking about residential

solar, the proposal is for community solar. The customers are not

renting the system, just paying for the electricity used, and getting a

discount for having the solar. Also, customer will have to think if

they are concerned with GRID’s contractors in their home, after the

contractors seal the house, customer does not have to use more

energy in the winter, so that efficiency is going to reduce their energy

cost, and that is part of the 45 percent discount.

• The Commissioner’s Advisor asked if anyone has solar already. Two

customers raised their hands. The Commissioner’s Advisor asked if

either of the customers experienced any problems or if their bills have

gone down. One customer stated he is paying $105 a month, which is

less, as before was up to $180, at times.

• No one in the room has had bad experiences with solar.

4. Listening session #2: questions on energy options and next steps [Pilot Team Moderated discussion

with public]


and Accountability (on behalf of the Pilot Team) circulated a questionnaire to be

filled out by the community members.


B-16

To close, the Commissioner’s Advisor provided a summary of what she heard –

many want to change to electric only. Some customers want a partial solution. And

others want to keep propane. Other thing she heard is the community wants to

include El Provenier as part of Cantua Creek. And a lot of people are interested in

some sort of solar, but there are fears about politics and prices, and what happens in

the future.

o Customer asked how much is going to be invested in the house. The

Commissioner’s Advisor advised it is going to be different in each home

depending on how many propane appliances, if new electric panel or wiring

is needed, and to see what you need and what you qualify for. So, we will

see. All the proposals include betterments in the home. Customer stated she

invested in new wiring and windows. The Commissioner’s Advisor stated if

you invest in the home, that will help in the long term.

o Customer asked, since she is not the owner of the home, and is ok with

changing, what will happen if the owner does not agree? The

Commissioner’s Advisor stated proposals will need permission from

landlords especially if something needs to be done to the home. The Pilot

Team indicated that on their survey, there is a question about if you rent or

own. If owners need information, the Pilot Team is more than willing to

inform them. The landlord will need to sign a document for betterments to

the home except things like lightbulbs that do not need approval of the

owner.

Summary of Discussion Topics & Community Input in California City


The California City presentation was conducted entirely in English, with real-time

translation to Spanish provided by headset.

1. Overview and Introduction [Moderated by CPUC]

Statements by Commissioner Guzman-Aceves:

o The Commissioner introduced the CPUC and the CPUC staff working on

this proceeding. The Commissioner described the CPUC’s function and how

it is focused on several parts of the economy including electricity, natural

gas, telecommunications, water, rail and transportation.

o Commissioner Guzman-Aceves will propose potential projects for

investments, but is going to need the support of the other 4

Commissioners. Several steps will be required to obtain their support.


California’s goals is to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas pollution by 80

percent by 2050. Discussed CA’s path forward and energy is one of the

sectors that impacts greenhouse gas pollution. California is reducing its

reliance on natural gas to meet climate and air quality goals.

o The Commissioner also discussed pollution resulting from emissions of fine

particulates on a scale of very dirty to very clean and where propane fits on

that scale.

o The Commissioner asked, “Why are we here?” In 2014 Assembly Bill 2672

passed by Assemblyman Perea – directed the CPUC to seek solutions for


C-3





proceedings, is to explore the pilot projects and to bring clean energy to these

communities. The Commissioner’s goal is to facilitate investment in all 12

communities, but this goal and the selected pilots must be voted on and

approved by all five CPUC Commissioners.

o CA City is one of the 12 communities selected to potentially host a pilot with

approximately 64 percent of the City with access to natural gas. Southern

California Edison and SoCalGas will present 3 options to the community. 1)

convert propane use to all electric, 2) convert propane use to natural gas, and

3) convert propane to something in between and I am here to listen to

community input.

o The Commissioner noted that CA City has sent the most letters to her and

applauded the CPUC for their community engagement and noted that she

will work with their government on this effort.

o Purpose of the workshop is to discuss energy options so that the CA City

community members can offer their opinion on which energy option is

preferred.

Statements from California City Mayor Jennifer Woods

o Mayor Woods described the City’s strong interest in natural gas service. She

further described their City’s Resolution 2708 that was submitted to bring

natural gas to California City. It has been a long time for which some

residents have been waiting for natural gas, and the benefits to local residents

C-4

and businesses.

2. Listening Session #1: Gather community feedback on current energy conditions and needs

[Moderated by Self-Help Enterprises]

Community feedback during discussion moderated by Abigail Solis of Self-Help

Enterprises.

o Propane presents many challenges: costs are high & volatile; delivery can be

slow and inconvenient; some providers require a minimum volume purchase

for delivery (minimum of 100 gallons) and may charge delivery fees on top

of the unit cost for propane. Due to high costs of propane the residents

described using the fireplace to heat the home in the winter. Resident also

stated that they have an electric dryer, but hang clothes outside to get them

somewhat dry and then finish drying in the dryer to keep electric costs lower.

o A resident stated that a cord of wood is approximately $340.00, this will be

used in the fireplace to heat his home in the winter.

o Approximately 12 community members currently have solar on their homes.

o Some residents felt inequities in that neighbors had less costly access to

natural gas while others cannot afford to pay for the costly infrastructure

($45k for a natural gas line). Other residents were concerned with higher

electricity costs during the summer if they switched to electric.

3. Overview of community energy options [Utilities]

Presented by Davi Ibarra of Southern California Edison – Electric Proposal

Presentation

o Presented an overview of SCEs electric service territory and electrification

energy option: 3 main goals - 1: Alternative to propane and wood appliances

C-5

to deliver predictable prices, are functional and efficient. 2: Achieves overall

reduction in total household energy costs and 3: Improves air quality.

o Key features of the pilot include: 1) Replacing propane or wood burning

appliance with electric appliances, 2) Provide select energy efficiency

measures, and 3) Develop a local renewable energy project.

o Provided illustrative monthly bill savings averaging $68 based on average

usage in the region; pilot participants would receive for example, electric

appliances, which may include heating & cooling systems, water heater,

cooktop/oven and clothes dryer; and work inside the homes would be

expected including inspections to ensure safe installation of appliances.

o Approximate timeline for the pilot assuming Commission approval in 2nd

quarter of 2019 would include outreach and enrollment, safety inspections

and in-home work, and renewable energy project development with the pilot

completing in about 4th quarter 2020.

o Explained that the total cost per household is approximately $26K and a total

pilot cost of $37 million for all three SCE communities. The costs would be

covered by all electric customers over many years and would be so small that

it would not be noticiable.

o A resident brought up their concern about current reliability and the current

power outages they experience. They then asked if the electric system could

support the additional electricity needed for these new projects and what

would happen if they brought on more customers. SCE responded that they

will carefully design the project to account for reliability and feasibility of

the pilot. Also, SCE is looking into pilot designs and technologies such as

battery storage that could potentially help mitigate reliability concerns.

C-6

Presented by Daniella Thurman (SoCalGas) – Natural Gas Proposal Presentation

o Explained the benefits of natural gas including cleaner, safer and more reliable energy than

propane. Explained that renewable gas is even cleaner, and can be produced from a variety

of sustainable sources, like animal waste, landfills, crop residuals and food waste and is

better than solar.

o SoCalGas has no-cost services and customer assistance programs such as CARE and ESA.

o Map of construction area was provided on screen. Residents asked what

would happen if they lived outside marked area.

o Provided a timeline for the pilot consisting of three phases.

Planning/assessment, upon approval the next phase would include 22 months

for construction, and a 20-month household conversion phase.

o Audience was provided with a slide showing sample of natural gas

appliances that would replace existing propane or wood-fired items in home.

o Estimated the current cost of $3.50 per gallon of propane (including delivery

fees) and came up with current monthly propane cost $128 per month.

Community residents noted that they pay higher propane costs.

o Further showed how much residents would pay each month on natural gas if

the proposal is approved. Future monthly costs would be between $21 - $38.

Monthly savings: $90 - $107. If residents qualify for CARE, the monthly

savings would be approximately 20 percent more.

o Explained how the cost for construction would be approximately $51K per

household and total project cost of $56 million resulting in a total rate

increase of $0.09 across all gas customers in territory or approximately 6

million customers.

C-7

4. Listening session #2: Questions on energy options and next steps [Pilot Team Moderated

discussion with public]

Abigail Solis (Self-Help Enterprises)

o Residents expressed multiple concerns about electric appliances, including:

electricity costs would be too expensive especially in the summertime; the

community faces frequent & long-duration electric outages, raising concerns

that electric appliances would be ineffective during brownouts or outages.

o Multiple residents expressed hesitancy about appliance conversion (whether

to electricity or gas): some residents wanted to keep their propane appliances

and just retrofit it to use natural gas.

o Multiple residents expressed interest in a hybrid option that included

elements from both the electric and natural gas options.

o Multiple residents expressed interest in an idea raised by Commissioner

Guzman-Aceves, who floated an idea of an “appliance stipend” that residents

could use at their discretion, so long as the money went toward appliance-

related costs (e.g., gas and electric appliances or retrofits).

o One resident suggested the use of residential wind turbines paired with

energy storage to help with resiliency.

o Another resident asked how swamp coolers can be considered in a pilot.

However, swamp coolers are electric and are currently not considered as the

intent is to switch from propane to electric or gas and that SCE currently has

a discount program for qualified customers with swamp coolers.

o A community resident reiterated that the objective is to improve local

infrastructure and improved lifestyles, no decisions would be made at the

C-8

meeting, however the intent was to have their voices heard and consider

alternatives.

o Concluded with a request for residents to fill out Energy Options

Questionnaire at the completion of the workshop.


o The Commissioner shared the timeline and process. She stated one of the

challenges is the cost.




• Workshops on staff proposal with parties (August 2018), includes an

economic review of pilots

• Public participation hearings (2-3) in larger cities (i.e. Bakersfield) in

San Joaquin Valley (September 2018), to share preliminary decision

on pilots





Winter 2018-2019.

o Commissioner Guzman-Aceves encouraged residents to return their completed surveys to

City Hall, and to consider attending an upcoming Public Participation Hearing to share

their opinion.

C-9

o Mayor Woods recommended Bakersfield as a potential site for one of the Commission’s

Public Participation hearings, as it may be more accessible for California City residents.

o A resident requested that the Commission provide a webinar/livestream capability for the

public participation hearings.
