Table 3 —EBCE and PG&E Rate Comparisons for a Typical Small Business Customer According to EBCE staff in July 2019, commercial and residential customers on EBCE's Bright Choice plan had collectively saved approximately $6.5 million since EBCE service began in June 2018. This is because Bright Choice is offered ata 1.5% price reduction compared to PG&E. Staff examined the City of Pleasanton's estimated 2017 residential electricity load of 182,355,700 kWh and plugged in EBCE and PG&E's September 2018 rates for a quick comparison. If all Pleasanton residents were switched to EBCE's Bright Choice plan, combined they would save approximately $293,600/year. Assuming approximately 27,818 households in Pleasanton would mean a saving of approximately $11 per year per household. The City of Piedmont opted into EBCE's highest -tiered Renewable 100 for its electricity customers, while giving them an option to either opt down or opt out of EBCE completely. As explained above, Renewable 100 provides carbon -free electricity derived entirely from renewable sources, similar to PG&E's SolarChoice. In an attempt to simulate a situation similar to that of Piedmont's, staff compared the financial implications of the two programs if all Pleasanton residents were to sign up for the greenest service. The PG&E option would cost approximately $47.7M annually, based on the 2017 load, whereas EBCE's Renewable 100 would cost around $45.9M. That is approximately $1.8M of savings to Pleasanton residents. Existing PG&E customers that are a part of the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program, Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) program, and medical baseline program can easily transition to EBCE. CARE and FERA are programs that provide energy bill discounts to low-income households and these customers can automatically have their discounts transferred when they begin their EBCE service. The same applies for medical baseline customers who, due to their medical condition, get bill discounts and additional notifications before PG&E performs a Public Safety Power Shutoff - a program that cuts power in anticipation of extreme weather events - in their area.
