SUBJECT: 4.5(a)--Approval to exercise Renewables Portfolio Standard Optional Compliance
1Vleasure 3.2(C)
Recommendation
Authorize staff to exereise Optional Compliance Measure Section 3.2(C) within the Redding
Electric Utility RPS-100 Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) Enforcement Program and
Proeurement Plan for Complianee Period 4 in order to meet California's RPS Mandate set by the
California Energy Commission.
Fiscal Impact
Exercising the Cost Limitation for Expenditures Optional Compliance Measure (OCM) for
Compliance Period 4 results in $9.3M in complianee savings.
Alternatzve Action
The City Council (Council) may chaase not to exercise the Cost Limitation for Expenditures
OCM in the Redding Electric Utility (REU) Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Procurement
and Enforcement Program for Compliance Period 4 (CP4) and provide alternative direction to
staff.
Background/Analysis
REU is required to proeure 60 percent of its retail electricity sales from eligible renewable
energy resources by 2030 under California's RPS. To comply, REU must meet interim targets
and follow strict procurement rules set by the California Energy Commission (CEC).
REU staff regularly evaluates the renewable energy credits (RECs) for compliance with the
CEC's RPS requirements. REU forecasts the number of RECs reQuired to meet the compliance
targets and develops long-term plans to satisfy those obligations, which can include using banked
Excess Procurement RECs, executing long-term renewable energy procurements, as well as
negotiating long- and short-term REC purchases. CP4 covers a four-year span, running from
2021 to 2024.
Report to Redding City Council May 13,Z025
Re: 4S(a)--Approval to exercise Renewables Portfolio Standard Optional Compliance
Measure 3.2(C) Page 2
In 2022, the CEC notified REU that during the Compliance Period 3 (CP3) verification process,
over 121,000 RECs were deemed ineligible due to an administrative error in the reporting too1.
REU staff worked with CEC staff to appeal the decision and reinstate the ineligible RECs.
However, CEC staff is not permitted to move RECs once they are retired in the software system,
thus ultimately, CEC staff determined the RECs would remain ineligible. Several other publicly-
owned electric utilities encountered the same administrative error, causing the CEC to
subsequently update the reporting software to avoid future mishaps. As a result, REU staff
utilized RECs earmarked for CP4 compliance and applied them to CP3, avoiding a shortfall in
that Compliance Period.
On March 21, 2023, the Council approved REU's updated RPS Procurement Program and
Enforcement Plan. This change aimed to clarify how REU may use OCMs if"factors beyond
reasonable control interfere with its ability to meet the procurement requirements outlined in §
3206 of the RPS regulations." In particular, REU� updated the Cost Limitation provision by
adding the following application scenarios:
• As written in REU's RPS Procurement Program and Enforcement Plan, any changes
not attributed to a load forecast deviation; or
• Any increase in cost that exceeds the budgeted amount can lead to the use of an
OCM.
Compliance Pe�iod 4 Activities to �neet RPS Obligations
The CEC's determination on the ineligible RECs, along with additional impacts beyond REU's
control, have affected REU's ability to meet the compliance taxget far CP4. Other contributing
factors include:
• Load Forecast: The 20241oad forecast for CP4 (2021-2024) is 5.9 percent higher
than the 2021 forecast for the same period. This results in nearly 90,000
additional RECs (an 8.3 percent increase) required to meet the RPS target for
CP4; and
• Unit 9: Maintenanee at the Whiskeytown hydro generation facility forced the unit
offline during the latter part of 2024, resulting in a loss of roughly 5,500
forecasted RECs.
As a result, REU staff have taken additional steps to mitigate the shortfall:
• REC Purchase: In 2021, before CP4 began, staff assessed the load forecast and
available resources, identifying a projected shortfall. To address this, the team
arranged the purchase of 100,000 RECs from Shell Energy North America. This
Index transaction was finalized in 2021 at$15.00 per REC;
• CP4 REC Request for Offer: To verify that the cost of replacement RECs
exceeded the forecasted costs adopted in REU's power supply budget, staff issued
a formal solicitation for 175,000 vintage 2024 Portfolio Content Category 1 and
Portfolio Content Category 3 RECs in December 2024. Of the three responses,
none were sufficient to satisfy the entirety of the CP4 shortfall.
Report to Redding City Council May 13,Z025
Re: 4S(a)--Approval to exercise Renewables Portfolio Standard Optional Compliance
Measure 3.2(C) Page 3
Despite these actions, REU is sti11 six percent short of ineeting CP4 compliance obligations
without intervention. REU currently has over 30,000 Excess Procurement RECs banked for
future compliance. While REU intended to use them for CP4, the banked amount will not satisfy
the deficiency. In October 2024, REU staff inet with the CEC's RPS Verification and
Compliance staff to discuss whether REU could retain its banked RECs without penalty. In
parallel, staff sought ]egal review from internal and external experts to determine whether this
was a legally available option.
Next Stetas
Based on the analysis, discussion with the CEC, and ]egal review, REU staff recommends the
following actions to meet RPS Compliance:
1. Exercise Cost Limitation Optional Compliance Measure
Based on the qualifying criteria for available Optional Compliance Measures, staff
recommends exercising the Cost Limitations for Expenditure clause in the RPS
Procurement Plan and Enforcement Program 3.2.C(2), ref§ 3206 (a)(3) of the RPS POU
regulations.
2. Retain Excess Procurement Banked RECs
Staff recommends retaining the roughly 30,000 banked excess procurement RECs for use
in a future compliance period. The CEC and legal counsel found that carrying forward
excess procurement RECs would have no negative impact on REU's compliance with the
RPS regulations. Based on the CEC's guidance and legal affirmation, REU staff
recommends retaining the current bank of RECs to meet the RPS target in a future
compliance period.
If the Council approves, REU staff will submit the request to utilize a Cost Limitation OCM in
the CEC's Annual RPS Report, due July 1, 2025.

Report to Redding City Council March 16,2023
Re: 4.5(a)--Redding RPSProcurement Plan and Enforcement Program Page 2
Since passage of earlier legislation requiring procurement of renewable energy, the California
Energy Commission (CEC) developed procedures for enforcement of the RPS Plan for publicly
owned utilities. As part of that enforcement �authority, on June 12, 2013, the CEC adopted
Enforcement Procedures for local, public�y-owned electric utilities (RPS Enforcement
Regulation). �The RPS Enforcement R�gulations require utilities� to �adopt� RPS Plans�� and file
�them with the CEC. On October 15, 2013, the City �adopted an RPS Plan — when substantive�
changes are made to the RPS Plan,REU provides continual updates.
As required by regulations,the CEC uses Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to track compliance
with RPS regulations. One REC represents one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity generated
�from�a renewable energy source. In 2022�, REU�staff was notified by the CEC that over 121,000
of its RECs that were retired for the 2020 Compliance Period were deemed ineligible due to an
administrative error in the ��C's online reporting tool. Staff has continued working diligently

1. Introduction
Senate Bili 2 in the First Extraordinary Session {SBX1-2)1 defines the California Renewables
Portfolio Standard (RPS) and imposes minimum renewable energy procurement targets for
all retail sellers and publicly-owned utilities{POUs), including the City of Redding (Redding).
SBX1-2 authorized the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop procedures for
enforcement of the RPS for POUs. As part of that enforcement authority, the CEC adopted
"Enforcement Procedures for the Renewables PortfoTio Standard for Local, Publicly-Owned
Electric Utilities" {RPS Enforcement Regu(ations} z and updated regulations were
subsequently adopted in 2021. This document describes Redding's RPS Procurement and
Enforcement Plan�t���y���+�'�G��`�� by the�Public Uti�l�ity�Code (PUC}sectio�n�399�.3�0(a), which must�
be�approved b�€tt����„��t�c�in����,�ouncil.

The purpose of the RPS Procurement Plan is to identify t��ttT�ol�����}'���'°`procedures for
Redding to me�t the RPS requirements and any,future a����C'��t����te=defined renewable�
goals. SB350 was signed by Governor Brown in ����r�������i���ng that 50 percent (50%) of�
retail sales must be served byRPS eligible resources ��r;�030. SB350 also mandated Redding
to produce an Integrated Resource Plan that will guide the Procurement Plan as allowed by
PUG section 399.17(d). In 2018, SB100 was signed by Governor Brown, which increased the
RPS goals to 60%o by 2030, and in 2021,the CEC approved updates to the RPS regufations.
l SBX1-2(Simitian,Stats. 2011,Ch. 1)was signed by Galifornia's Governor on April 12,2011:
Z The CEC adopted the RPS Enforcement Regulations on June 12,2013,in Order No. 13-0612-5.

of the portion of the POU's retail sales unsatisfied by the POU's large hydroelectric
generation, or the soft target for the relevant year of the compliance period.
2. Adjustment for Qualifying Gas-Fired Power Plant
If all requirements in RPS Enforcement § 3204(b)(11} are satisfied, Redding may
reduce the amount of eligible renewable energy resources that it procures for a
compliance period beginning lanuary 1, 2025, if the gas-fired power plant is operating
at or below a 20 percent (20%) capacity factor on an annual average basis during a
given compliance period.This amount is calculated by the difference between the gas-

1. Introduction
Senate Bili 2 in the First Extraordinary Session {SBX1-2)1 defines the California Renewables
Portfolio Standard (RPS) and imposes minimum renewable energy procurement targets for
all retail sellers and publicly-owned utilities{POUs), including the City of Redding (Redding).
SBX1-2 authorized the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop procedures for
enforcement of the RPS for POUs. As part of that enforcement authority, the CEC adopted
"Enforcement Procedures for the Renewables Portfolio Standard for Local, Publicly-Owned
Electric Utilities" {RPS Enforcement Regu(ations} z and updated regulations were
subsequently adopted in 2021. This document describes Redding's RPS Procurement and
Enforcement Plan�t���y���+�'�G��`�� by the�Public Uti�l�ity�Code (PUC}section�399�:30(a), which must�

t( 1� F t�f4 1}t'„r��`
Redding to meet the RPS requirements and any�future a��,�,���������te=defin�ed renewable�
goals. SB350 was signed by Governor Brown in �����<��������ing that 50 percent (50%) of�
retail sales must be served by RPS eligible resources`��`��730. SB350 also mandated Redding
to produce an Integrated Resource Plan that will guide the Procurement Plan as allowed by
PUG section 399.17(d). In 2018, SB100 was signed by Governor Brown, which increased the
RPS goals to 60%o by 2030, and in 2021,the CEC approved updates to the RPS regufations.
l SBX1-2(Simitian,Stats. 2011,Ch. 1)was signed by Galifornia's Governor on Apri) 12,2011.
Z The CEC adopted the RPS Enfdreement Regulations orrJurre 12,2013,in Order No. 13-0612-5.
