The Impact of SDG&E Exiting the Energy Procurement Role 

CCAs in San Diego will be the first to enter a new regulatory environment because at some point in the near future SDG&E will no longer be the provider of last resort and the concept of opt-out will change.

Other changes include the loss of a competitive tariff from SDG&E.
Other issues will be discussed including the timing and the availability of SDG&E's resource portfolio for sale.
Legislation was introduced to clarify how the electricity market will change in this environment but it did not pass.
CALCCA and some IOUs have proposed the creation of Central Procurement Entity (CPE)
to resolve sourcing Resource Adequacy (RA). RA issues will be considered.

Two JPAs are in formation in San Diego. Many jurisdictions remain on the sidelines uncertain about how and when to make the inevitable decision to form a CCA or join a JPA.

Presentations will cover what entities may come into existence and what new roles CCAs will have to assume.

​San Diego: Past, Present and Future of Community Energy

San Diego and its Community Energy Providers could assume the power supply mantle during the next few years now owned and controlled by San Diego Gas & Electric since 1881.

What is the historical context? Are there immediate obligations of SDG&E to the emerging Community Energy Providers (CCAs & JPAS)? As load serving entities (LSEs), what can local CCAs do to provide for a more economic, carbon-neutral, and advanced community energy future creating opportunity for all?

This webinar is the last of the 2019 Energy Futures Webinar. It brings together three visionaries and leaders with different perspectives on how local control of energy can empower the economic, environmental, and utility reforms required for a resilient, just and safe future.

Panelists:
Lane Sharman - The Historical Context
San Diego CCA First Mover, Executive Director, San Diego Energy District

Shawn Marshall - The Present Formation Process with an emphasis on San Diego
Founding council member of Marin Clean Energy, Executive Director, Local Energy Aggregation Network

Dr Lorenzo Kristov - The potential future of Advanced Community Energy in San Diego
18 Years of Senior Positions at the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), Consultant

Moderator: Dr Jose Torre-Bueno
