Community Choice Aggregation Feasibility Analysis Alameda County <br /> Table ES-1 shows the average annual savings for Residential customers under Scenario 1. The <br /> average annual bill for the residential customer on the Alameda County CCA program could <br /> average about 7% lower than the same bill on PG&E rates. <br /> Table ES-1. Scenario 1 Savings for Residential CCA Customers <br /> Monthly <br /> Bill with PG&E Bill with <br /> Residential Consumption Alameda Savings($) Savings(%) <br /> (kWh) ($) County CCA($) <br /> 2017 650 147 142 5 3% <br /> 2020 650 160 145 15 9% <br /> 2030 650 201 188 13 6% <br /> Scenario 2 (Accelerated RPS) <br /> Under Scenario 2,Alameda County CCA meets 50% of its load through renewable power <br /> starting from 2017, while 50% of its non-renewable load is met through hydro-electricity(i.e., <br /> overall 50% qualifying renewable. 25%hydro, 25% fossil or market). In this scenario, the <br /> differential between PG&E generation rates and Alameda County CCA customer rates is slightly <br /> lower than that under Scenario 1,but continues to follow a similar pattern over the years with <br /> respect to PG&E rates. As was the case under Scenario 1,because of this positive differential, <br /> Alameda County CCA customers' average generation rate (including contributions to the reserve <br /> fund) can be lower than PG&E's average customer generation rate in each year under this <br /> scenario as well. <br /> The annual bill for a residential customer on the Alameda County CCA program in Scenario 2 <br /> could about 6.5% lower than the same bill on PG&E rates (on average over the 2017-2030 study <br /> period). This is less than, but close to, bill savings under Scenario 1. <br /> Scenario 3 (80% RPS by 2021) <br /> Under this scenario, the Alameda County CCA starts with 50% of its load being served by <br /> renewable sources in 2017, and increases this at a quick pace to 80% renewable energy content <br /> by 2021. In addition, 50% of its non-renewable supply is met through large hydro-electric <br /> sources. <br /> The differential between PG&E generation rates and Alameda County CCA customer rates in <br /> Scenario 3 is the lowest of the three scenarios, as this scenario has the most expensive supply <br /> portfolio(Figure ES-4). However,the expected Alameda County CCA rates continue to be lower <br /> than the forecast PG&E generation rates for all years from 2017 to 2030. Although this positive <br /> differential still allows for the collection of reserve fund contributions through the CCA's rates in <br /> all the years under consideration,between 2026 to 2028 the differential is very small. Similarly, <br /> the annual bill for a residential customer on the Alameda County CCA program will be on <br /> average only about 3% lower than the same customers on PG&E rates. <br /> July 2016 v MRW&Associates,LLC <br />
