For us to, for both staff to at least discuss that. I certainly as the puc hears from the puc staff, i would like to get a sta sense from our lafco staff as to what they are thinking in terms of an expedited timeline. That would be helpful for me. Supervisor john avalos thank you, i appreciate that as well. I think the lafco staff nancy and others looking at the other programs out there and have some ideas for how we can leverage some of the work thats already been done and so its not just all on their shoulders and they can assist with the effort. I think its a great suggestion. Okay, seeing no other members with comments or questions, we can continue with the next part of the presentation with the department of the environment. Thank you, commissioners, this is a great day. I just wanted to make a couple of comments about activities that the department of the environment is doing and has been doing that are going to intersect with cca and talk about things that are on going right now
Proceedings with the California Public Utilities Commission that we are following closely that will intersect with cleanpowersf that is the Energy Efficient portfolio where the rules are being set for efficiency programs can operate and that included Community Choice aggregators and marin has been fighting on this alone and im hoping we can join with them from the cleanpowersf perspective to fight about the proceedings that will benefit San Francisco and the second is generating proceeding which is opening and we are just starting to follow that. Im not going to report anything on that.

Right now those two things are in silos. If you are management an Energy Efficiency program you cant bundle it with a response. I think thats a Real Advantage that Community Choice aggregation is going to be able to provide integrat
Yes, there is going to be some guessing involved in that because pg e can change their rates 46 times a year. There is going to be a little bit of guessing and perhaps go below of what the rate is in case they decide its going to be cheap now. So we go out there and start that part of the program and for lack of better terms get it towards launch and as harlin kelly was mentioning the deep green is where we have to figure out how to do that and that might take a little bit more time to figure out. Maybe we do two tracks of setting rights. One for light green. If we wait a month for launching deep green, we cant sign up people at that point. Maybe not the best for marketing purposes. There is nothing to keep us from launching a program as quickly as possible or the best time possible for us over the course of the year. Figure out when that is a go ahead and plan that and deal with the deep green as the pg e green tariff moves forward as we learn more about that. What i would like to see
Know what that rate is going to be. Its going to be a pg e rate to launch. They actually go to the Public Utilities commission to set their rates. So we know there is a schedule for rates based on that presentation. So, that seems like we can tailor to what we are seeing is going to be decisions made at the california Public Utilities commissioner what the rates are for pg es regular power for customers.
