Thank you. By any Public Comment on this next item. General manager. So the next item is and just want only the drought steve richie. Steve richie providing the just want this is quite short of first item over the weekend hetch hetchy filled and confirm that commissioner moran is filled and good news and the water bank is 84 percent of capacity much better than it has been our precipitation has leveled out pretty much done tour the year with the rainstorm and the snow pack is basically it melted heavily in the last two weeks weve seen the runoff coming down from that that provides about 6 hundred and 22 thousand feet of water available to the city we needed 8 hundred plus to fill were shy of that which is a bit unfortunate 1922 why well call for commercialism but better than over the past several years on the total deliveries front we have had warm weather this year deliveries are a little bit above last years but see on the graph on the 5 year average line the red squares theyre a black line dash dot dash dot the new target that we set for ourselves from 2013 our demands with well blow the the fact of the matter we have to meet so folks are doing the same thats a good thing and lastly on drought actions we continue to call for the volunteery demand of 10 percent we as i said weve gone through the state water board process and not any state requirements levels for us we firmly believe that we need to achieve the 10 percent to fulfill the water bank and coming back to reduce the Optical Retail from thirty percent to 10 percent with an excess charge for the retail chars of mandatory 25 to a 10 percent with no fees charged it is different in the sf fee charge and working towards modifying the restrictions to incorporate in any statewide restrictions those are consistent nothing not doable on the list so with that, ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Commissioners . No questions at this time thank you very much any Public Comment on the drought update . Hearing none, next item. All right. Next item is an update for cleanpowersf barbara hale. Good afternoon barbara hale for power i have two items first a quick operations update, and, secondly, some information on our planning and effort for our august enrollment to in terms of operations weve began to receive payment from our customers that is good nice to see money coming in a small amount and proves our sidebars with pg e and Data Management and transfer fund that happening with notable is it so working well, this is good we have issued our third opt out notice out of the 4 that total that are required by statute the fourth notice is mailed in july were experiencing about a 1. 2 percent opt out out were well blow the 20 percent and happy to see a 3 percent in supergreen offering weve set out in december of last year was 5 percent so were doing pretty well on the supergreen uptake we so 4 hundred and 32 customers for the august enforcement that combination and the fact we had much lower opt out rates means if we stay on course and immoral 20 megawatts in the next phase as weve planned and experience the same opt out rate we expect to exceed a total of 50 megawatts unless we take a different approach weve run the numbers were assume before 5 to 10 percent opt out instead of the 10 and enroll the 20 megawatts weve serve a total of 55 or 56 megawatts full of customers im highlighting that when we started on this road we were talking about 50 megawatts thirty in the phase one and 20 in the second enrollment so our recommendation is to stay that course alm that weve had a lower opt out rate than expected and serve a total of 45 or 56 megawatts assuming the next set of customers have a similarly low opt out rate we propose to then move forward with testing the market for the renewable procurement well need to serve that total 55 or 56 megawatts and if we find affordable prices available supply then we propose to move forward and improperly act target 80 megawatts in the august enforcement enrollment and serve 56 as of november so with that, ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. And then. What happens from november on. Is he we are meanwhile making plans for subsequent phrases were also putting together our resource procurement plan that is required sorry our renewable procurement plan by the state of california and were going looking to have a Resource Planning work that helps us make sure that our programs for customers like rooftop solar and be able efficiency and our procurement put together a good package of resources for our customers compliant with state law thats the next larger planning document that will bring forward the phasing effort figuring out you know what the the right size for the next phase that is our first page capacity and what the counter parties will require of us when we go out to procure more supplies to serve overseeing additional fees of customers were doing more work on collecting the information for that now we have a bit find a track record seeing more community ago gas station programs and implemented than 2 more to serve the customers this year i think the marketplace is getting suppliers is getting more comfortable with the model and certainly the low opt out numbers were experiencing are encouraging from a financial picture. It sounds like good news commissioner moran. Ive been getting a lot of questions about the the incentive programs well be offering for solar rooftop solar and that would be great to have a 1 or twopackage document. Sure. For people that are concerned. Yeah. I know that you can ask for followup on supergreen and the go Solar Program and i think that last month at the end of the month whatever we had. One meeting so far and very good responses from folks good participation and have a followup meeting next week the week after and be able to bring represents to the general manager and then to the commission. On how to continue the integration of cleanpowersf and go solar sf. I guess that pg e still has a determination how much rooftop solar you can install; is that right. The expectation i believe this is in their transfer im not sure if it was bound by statute on this is that rooftop systems will serve will be sized to match the load behind the meter so there is an exception that youre not going to offer build the system if you at that particular time in a Net Metering Program if you participate in the program of selling the kilowatt hours and not consuming them the caps the sizes limitations are larger but they still exist. Okay smells in our interests to encourage people to put an amount of solar their rooftop can support and an aggressive feed and tariff that supports that ill be interested in what kind of caps. Thats great feedback weve developing a feed and tariff your expectation to try to maximize the use of Available Space and so we are looking at size limits that will probably be greater than most roofs available in San Francisco it is consistent with the feedback youre getting. Any other comments. Im curious what are those folks that have opted out do they give a reason. We ask for a reason by opt out by calling us for most people that is varied i can bring back the statistics what weve learned from the interactions with the customers. Ill be interested. Great ill do that. Anything else commissioners Public Comment increase mr. Brooks are you making our way up here. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners good to hear that good news im eric brooks with the eric brooks sf green party our city sf clean energy advocates. And the local Grassroots Organization in our city and just once again thank the staff for getting us where we are at slightly higher than one percent the best performance of my Choice Program in over one thousand this is incredible i think that is a strong signal we can move in customers and do a higher megawatt i urge you to push staff in 2, 3, 4 direction and calling your attention to hopefully seen the email he sent last week that champions the sid neither under all the circumstances trail the master plan if not ill make sure you get that all the community Choice Programs in the state are getting off the ground and looking at the monopoly of utilities getting ready to switch to choose but the big drawback from the orienters of the Community Choice weve pushed for none of those plans has a comprehensive detailed local installations plan for renewables and the thing we push and push for, of course, the jobs component i sent the sidney australia to show you what an amazing report i recommend you read it i think we heard staff say their going to work on this thing with the sidney aau trail plan ill have one caution sidney australia relies on bio mass for i shouldnt say a lot but part of components are bio mass it is problematic be usually increases Green House Gas emissions and doesnt reduce them it seems like a good idea but ill just add that one caution do model on sidney we make that mistake instead of that use Battery Storage to balance out accident load that is much better than mass and stuff like that so thats my one big comment about cleanpowersf look at the sidney model and get that concept for the citywide role and thats correct. Yes. Ill hope that has a plan develops well look to the cities everywhere to the development of the next phase good afternoon mr. Fried. Jason fried, executive officer wanted to talk about the opt out numbers increases the size by a few megawatts to not squeeze out the residential does the second part of the first launch the first was commercial with those that raised their hands hands and making sure the residential will be 20 megawatts assuming in the financial side i encourage you when staff talks about the approvals youre getting them to them and encouraging such actions the best way the more customers the more financially sound and the quicker to get to the jobs quickly and more to full launch out and others involved the quicker is great i agree with mr. Brooks with the next phases how were launching lets continue to Pay Attention
