Community Choice Aggregation Feasibility Analysis Alameda County <br /> • Considers three scenarios with differing assumptions concerning the amount of <br /> carbon-free power being supplied to the CCA so as to assess the costs and <br /> greenhouse gas emissions reductions possible with the CCA. <br /> • Includes analysis of in-county renewable generation. <br /> • Compares the rates that could be offered by the CCA to PG&E's rates. <br /> • Quantitatively explores the rate competiveness of the three scenarios to key input <br /> variables, such as the cost of natural gas. <br /> • Explores what activities a CCA might take with respect to administering <br /> customer-side, energy efficiency programs <br /> • Calculates the macroeconomic development and employment benefits of CCA <br /> formation. <br /> This study was conducted by MRW &Associates, LLC. MRW was assisted by Tierra Resource <br /> Consultants, who conducted all the research and analysis related to energy efficiency. MRW was <br /> also assisted by Economic Development Research Group, which conducted all of the <br /> macroeconomic and jobs analysis contained in the study. <br /> This Study is based on the best information available at the time of its preparation, using publicly <br /> available sources for all assumptions to provide an objective assessment regarding the prospects of <br /> CCA operation in the County. It is important to keep in mind that the findings and recommendations <br /> reflected herein are substantially influenced by current market conditions within the electric utility <br /> industry,which are subject to sudden and significant changes. <br /> July,2016 2 MRW&Associates,LLC <br />
