CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
f REQUEST FOR. CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 6/5/2017
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Antonia Graham, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve and authorize execution of a Southern California Edison (SCE) Non-
Disclosure Agreement
Statement of Issue:
The City would like to explore the concept of community choice aggregation (CCA). In order to
explore CCA the City needs to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Southern California
Edison (SCE) to obtain customer class energy usage data. This data is used to create a Pro Forma
and conduct an analysis to see if a CCA would be economically viable for the City's customers
(residential, industrial, government, and commercial).
Financial Impact:
There is no fiscal impact by signing the NDA with SCE.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the "Community Choice Aggregator
Non-Disclosure Agreement" with Southern California Edison.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Non-Disclosure Agreement and direct staff on
next steps.
Analysis:
Since 2002, thirty-three (33) communities have launched or are in the process of launching
community choice energy programs. All of these CCAs have signed an NDA with their respective
Investor Owned Utility (IOU). Currently, the cities of Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Orange,
Garden Grove, Tustin, and Lake Forest are in various stages of CCA exploration. At the January
2017 Strategic Planning session, City Council discussed the concept of Community Choice
Aggregation. In February, staff received quotes from firms to conduct a feasibility study. Good
Energy was selected to perform the study for the City. In order to perform the study, Good Energy
on behalf of the City needs to acquire data from SCE to understand the electricity load and usage
trends in the City for both residential and commercial. This Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) will
enable the City to receive energy usage data that will be analyzed by Good Energy to determine if
CCA is feasible in Huntington Beach
A feasibility study is the first step in investigating CCA. If the potential margin for cost savings is
large enough as identified in the study, the City Council may elect to continue to investigate the
formation of a CCA as a next step. The results of the study will be presented to City Council upon
completion.
Item 17. - 1 HB -282-
Dept. ID Ad-17-015 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date:6/5/2017
Community Choice Energy/Aggregation would enable the City of Huntington Beach and others in
Orange County (should we wish to partner with other cities) the ability to have local control over
electricity rates, efficiency programs, and local generation. This is an economic development tool
that allows communities to realize reduced energy costs and create workforce development
programs that create jobs.
The California Public Records Act explicitly exempts utility customer information from disclosure.
Additionally, the Public Utilities Code Section 8380 requires utilities, and via Public Utilities
Commission decision, CCAs as well, to execute these NDAs and take other appropriate measures
to safeguard customer data privacy. This NDA form is necessary for compliance with the rule of
law.
The NDA has been reviewed by the City Attorney's Office and has been approved-as-to-form.
Concerns were raised about data and the California Public Records Act. These concerns were
vetted by the City Attorney's Office, and the City and SCE have come to terms on what can and
cannot be shared.
Environmental Status:
Not Applicable

Subject: Clarification of CCA NDA
Mr. Vigliotta,
As we discussed during our telephone conferences, you raised concerns about your client's
compliance with Section 2 of SCE's Community Choice Aggregator Non-Disclosure Agreement,
Filed Form 14-769 (NDA), given disclosure obligations you believe you may have under the
California Public Records Act (CPRA) as well as the need to disclose certain materials regarding
the decision to create a CCA to the City Council including public review. The relevant NDA
provision, which is within a filed form approved by the California Public Utilities Commission
(and thus has the full force and effect of law), states:
"Confidential Information shall also include specifically any copies, drafts, revisions, analyses,
summaries, extracts, memoranda, reports and other materials prepared by CCA or its
representatives that are derived from or based on Confidential Information disclosed by Utility,
regardless of the fonn of media in which it is prepared, recorded or retained."
You expressed concern that the definition above would prevent the City of Huntington Beach
from publicly disclosing documents in two ways that do not themselves contain—or cannot, in
the City's assessment, be reasonably reverse-engineered to identify—any customer-specific
infonnation. While SCE does not offer legal advice to you about your compliance with statutes
that may bear on your client's rights and obligations under various disclosure laws, SCE
interprets this provision of the NDA consistent with Schedule Community Choice Aggregation-
Infonnation Fees (CCA-INFO), which explains in Special Condition 1 that customer
confidentiality is protected if customer-specific information is aggregated in compliance with the
15115 Rule. As such, information aggregated in compliance with the 15115 Rule may be
disclosed pursuant to the CPRA or as part of public presentations. The 15115 Rule requires any
aggregated infonnation to contain at least 15 customers and a single customer's load must be less
than 15% of an assigned category. SCE does not view reports, analyses, or studies that do not
include customer-confidential information, or that include only data aggregated in compliance
with the 15115 Rule (as described in Schedule CCA-INFO), as being confidential infonnation
within the scope of the NDA.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

AGENDA COMMENT
Hello-
As a long time resident of Huntington Beach as well as a local business owner, I strongly urge the Huntington Beach City Council to approve and
authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the"Community Choice Aggregator Non-Disclosure Agreement"(NDA)with Southern California Edison
(SCE).
The City Council has already discussed the concept of Community Choice Aggregation (CCA)back in January of 2017 and in February quotes were
received and a firm was selected to conduct a feasibility study regarding the economic viability of a CCA for Huntington Beach.Given these previous
steps,the execution of the NDA with SCE would appear to be a"no-brainer". For without the energy usage data from SCE, a feasibility study cannot be
conducted.
First,since we are here about the NDA, let me say that in terms of personal privacy,as both a resident and business owner, I am not concerned at all
about my information being used as part of the feasibility study.There is nothing particularly private or personal about the amount of electricity
consume at home or at work. In fact,SCE sends me a monthly report with regard to my electrical consumption versus my neighbors. I would think the
only people wishing to keep such information private might just be up to no-good.
With regard to CCA's, I am relatively new to the concept. However after much research, I believe this is a concept could be very beneficial to our local
community and therefore should be thoroughly investigated.
I support the further investigation of CCA viability for four main reasons: 1)choice/competition,2)local control,3)economic benefit, and 4)
environmental leadership.
1. 1 don't like monopolies! I like a competitive market where I am allowed to choose. Right now SCE is the only game in town. If I want power for my
home or business, I am forced to buy power from SCE. I would like to have a choice, and a local choice at that.A Huntington Beach or Coastal Orange
County CCA would provide me with a choice when purchasing my electricity
2. 1 like local control, and I like services and policies tailored to benefit my community.SCE services 14 million customers from coastal Orange County to
the California/Nevada border. It is simply impossible for SCE to focus their service goals on the needs and desires of our community here in Huntington
Beach. By law they must be locally controlled, and with local control comes local focus.
3.When possible, I find it preferable to deal with local businesses and entities. I buy goods and services in Huntington Beach.Why not the same for my
electricity? I would much rather pump my hard earned dollars into our local economy rather than sending cash to SCE who services 50,000 square
miles. How much of the money I send to SCE every month is coming back to Huntington Beach now?In addition to having my money staying local when
I pay my power bills, I also see the benefits of more local jobs related to infrastructure upgrades and improvements.Economically speaking I see a CCA
as being able to have our cake and eat it too!
4.As a coastal resident, I like to be a good steward for our environment.Our local environment-ocean,beaches,wetlands,clean water and clean air-
was one of the things that originally attracted me to Huntington Beach decades ago, and now that my adult children and grandchild live here as well, I
want to pass along our community's natural wonders to them.A CCA appears to be a good vehicle that will allow me to be both a good business person
as well a good coastal steward. I see a terrific opportunity for renewable energy production through both wind and solar in Surf City,and given the
importance of preserving our coastline and wetlands,this would appear to be a"win-win"for both my business and our environment future.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce Supports Exploring the Development
of a Community Choice Aggregation
The Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce has taken a position in support of
researching the formation of a community choice aggregation. Taking time to see
if a CCA would provide ample rate savings is something the City of Huntington
Beach should strongly consider. Measures such as the CCA allow for a more
competitive field when looking to recruit employers and jobs to Huntington Beach.
Permitting the signature of the non-disclosure agreement with Southern California
Edison in no way obligates the City to develop a CCA, it merely provides adequate
access to data. Exploring the possibility of a CCA without this data would be
impossible or at best incomplete.
The Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce is an association of business
representing 700 companies and more than 25,000 jobs. We serve as the champion
for those who create the jobs which make Huntington Beach great.
