Subject: Withdrawal of Advice Letter 5392-E, Submission of Data Necessary to Calculate the Market Price Benchmark for 2019 in Compliance with Resolution E-4475 and Decision 11-12-018
Dear Energy Division Tariff Unit:
In accordance with General Order 96-B, Section 5.3, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) hereby withdraws the above-referenced advice letter without prejudice.
On October 1, 2018, PG&E filed Advice Letter 5392-E, in compliance with Resolution E- 4475 and Decision 11-12-018. PG&E noted in the advice letter that the data provided in the advice letter would be superseded by regulatory events in the PCIA OIR once a final decision has been issued.
Decision 18-10-019 was issued on October 19, 2018, in Phase 1, Track 2 of PCIA OIR and modified the inputs to the market price benchmark, effective October 11, 2018. Thus, at the request, of Energy Division, PG&E withdraws this advice letter.
In accordance with General Order 96-B, Section 5.3, this withdrawal letter is being submitted in the same manner and served on the same persons as the advice letter.
Sincerely,
/S/ Erik Jacobson Director, Regulatory Relations

Advice 5392-E (Pacific Gas and Electric Company ID U 39 E)
Public Utilities Commission of the State of California
Subject: Submission of Data Necessary to Calculate the Market Price Benchmark for 2019 in Compliance With Resolution E-4475
Purpose
In compliance with Ordering Paragraph (OP) 4, of California Public Utilities Commission’s (Commission or CPUC) Resolution E-4475, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is submitting data necessary to calculate the market price benchmark (MPB) for 2018, in accordance with that resolution. In addition, the value of the capacity PG&E plans to include in the benchmark calculation is discussed below.
Background
Resolution E-4475, OP 4, requires that by October 1 of each year, PG&E, San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), and Southern California Edison Company (SCE), shall file Tier 1 advice letters to update the data specified in OP 4 of Decision (D.) 11- 12-018 so that the applicable percentage weightings (32% for Department of Energy (DOE) data and 68% for utility data) are updated in subsequent years.
OP 4 of D.11-12-018 requires PG&E, SDG&E, and SCE to identify the data necessary to revise the Power Charge Indifference Amount (PCIA), Ongoing Competition Transition Charge (CTC), and Transitional Bundled Service (TBS) tariffs. Specifically, the information to be provided includes:
a. most recent 12-month figures derived from US Department of Energy survey of Western US renewable energy premiums in calculating a weighted proxy for the Market Price Benchmark compiled by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory; and
b. all Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)-compliant resources that are used to serve Investor Owned-Utility (IOU) customers during the current year (i.e., most recent 12 months) and those projected to serve customers during the next year, including both contracts Advice 5392-E - 2 - October 1, 2018
and IOU-owned resources, including the projected costs together with the net qualifying capacity of energy produced by each of these resources (providing relevant costs in dollars and volumes in MWh and qualifying capacity in kW).
From this information, the Commission will then adopt an RPS adder to be used to determine a MPB. The RPS adder proxy value will be based on a 32% weighting of the DOE data in relation to a 68% weighting of the IOU cost data and will reflect renewable resources in the calculation of the PCIA and Ongoing CTC.
The average cost of power from the IOU RPS resources will be determined by summing up all the costs from all three IOUs, subtracting the product of the net qualifying capacity of those resources times the IOU’s current resource adequacy capacity adder used in the MPB, and dividing by the sum of all the MWhs from all three IOUs.
Power Charge Indifference Amount Order Instituting Rulemaking
A Commission decision resolving Track 2 of the Power Charge Indifference Amount (PCIA) Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR), R.17-06-026, is expected to be issued on or about October 11, 2018. Both the Proposed Decision and Alternate Proposed Decision issued in that proceeding would modify the inputs for the green market price benchmark and the capacity value, as compared to the current market price benchmark methodology. Consequently, the data provided in this advice letter will be superseded by regulatory events in the PCIA OIR once a final decision has been issued.
DOE Renewable Premium for Voluntary Programs in the Western US
As noted above, pursuant to D.11-12-018 and Resolution E-4475, the “DOE Green Adder” portion of the Renewable MPB should be determined using “the most recent figures” derived from “reported contract premiums for renewable energy in the Western U.S.”[1] (DOE premium values). Attachment A to this advice letter includes the most recently published list of “voluntary” programs compiled by NREL for the DOE (NREL- published list).[2] The table includes only those programs offered in Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) member states that provide an identified $/kWh DOE premium value. The last available published data set that PG&E is aware of is what was presented in last year’s advice letter, which was published in September 2016. Even though the values presented in the table were outdated, these values were approved by the Commission for use in 2018 given they complied with Resolution E-
[1] D.11-12-018 at p. 23. [2] Although no longer available, PG&E accessed the following website on 9/12/2016 for purposes of filing Advice Letter 4927-E, PG&E’s 2017 submittal of data needed to calculate the Market Price Benchmark. Western States only: http://apps3.eere.energy.gov/greenpower/markets/pricing.shtml?page=1
Advice 5392-E - 3 - October 1, 2018
4475 directives to use the last available published data set.1 This data is presented again in this year’s Appendix A and the value is $16.64 per MWh.
Newly Delivering Renewable Portfolio Standard Compliant Resources
Confidential Appendix B provides all RPS-compliant resources that began serving customers in 2018 or are forecast to begin serving customers in 2019. Energy Division will combine this data with SDG&E’s and SCE’s data to provide a renewable adder for 2019. This adder will be used to update the 2019 forecast PCIA and Ongoing CTC in PG&E’s November Update of the 2019 ERRA Forecast.
Resource Adequacy Capacity Value
D.11-12-018 agreed that it is reasonable to provide a means for updating the Resource Adequacy (RA) capacity value included in the MPB and adopted SCE’s proposal to update the RA capacity adder using the Net Qualifying Capacity of the utility electric supply portfolio and the most recent California Energy Commission (CEC) estimate of the going forward costs of a combustion turbine.2 Based on the CEC’s most recent estimate, the RA capacity value to be included in the MPB would be $58.27/kW-yr. This estimate is based on data from Table E-4 of the CEC’s Final Staff Report of the Estimated Cost of New Renewable and Fossil Generation in California, and is the summation of three components: (1) Insurance ($9.29), (2) Ad Valorem ($13.47) and (3) Fixed Operations & Maintenance (O&M) ($35.51).3
