Arlen Orchard Board Monitoring Report 2017 SMUD SD-13, Economic Development *

1. Purpose & Background

Strategic Direction 13 (SD-1 3) Economic Development states that,

"Promoting the economic vitality of our region and the growth of our customer base is a key value of SMUD. Therefore, SMUD shall exercise strategic leadership and actively participate in regional economic development.

Specifically: a) SMUD shall promote innovation while maintaining rate affordability and balancing the other strategic directions. b) SMUD shall align its economic development activities with regional economic development initiatives. c) SMUD shall assist in retaining, recruiting and growing commercial and industrial rate-paying customers. d) SMUD shall offer economic development rates and program incentives. e) SMUD shall offer a contracting program for certified small businesses who are rate-paying customers."

2. Executive summary

SMUD is in compliance with SD-13, Economic Development.

SMUD continues to be a nationally recognized leader in corporate citizenship for our long standing commitment to the economic health of the greater Sacramento region. In 2017, we continued our history of visible support for and engagement with the business community, with a focus on playing a greater role in policy discussions and strengthening relationships with local leaders. We developed key partnerships to further a shared vision, delivering greater collective impact.

Our strategy to enhance the economic vitality of the Sacramento region is comprehensive. Key tactics to engage, inform and support the regional business community include:

Supporting business formation, attraction, retention and expansion efforts. Providing business development resources for entrepreneurs. Improving the Supplier Education and Economic Development (SEED) contracting program for local small businesses. Continuing to offer economic development rates. Providing program incentives and rebates.

GM 18-076 Board Monitoring Report — SD 13 Economic Development Page 1 of 16 Expanding partnerships with local agencies and non-profits to facilitate community development. Supporting the developer community. Broadening support of the region's emerging innovation ecosystem.

Recognizing that innovation drives productivity in all industry sectors, we continued to engage with the region's emerging innovation ecosystem. Our important partnerships with Hacker Lab and InnoGrove continued, and we reestablished a partnership with CleanStart. We also continued exploring ways in which we could partner with 1/0 Labs and the iHub. In addition to supporting entrepreneurs and startups and local and regional innovation efforts, these partnership also complement SMUD's research and development program and the Innovation Generator partnerships while balancing other Strategic Directions, such as maintaining rate affordability.

Through outreach and education, SMUD's SEED team teaches local small businesses how to contract with SMUD and positively impact their bottom line. In 2017, the SEED program partnered with Supply Chain Services, conducting a variety of outreach and education events and awarding 22.9% of SMUD's contracts to SEED-certified small businesses, exceeding the annual goal of 20%. 195 SEED contracts were awarded in 2017, totaling $58,150,545.

SMUD works with numerous local economic development organizations to enhance regional economic vitality. Our leadership roles in the Greater Sacramento Economic Council, Sacramento Metro Chamber, Sacramento Hispanic Chamber, Sacramento Black Chamber, Valley Vision, Sacramento Asian Pacific Chamber, SacPACand many others help ensure our activities support the region's efforts to attract, retain and expand companies in our service area. It also means SMUD has a seat at the table early on in economic development conversations. Other major tactics to encourage regional economic development include our dedicated Commercial Development team, participation in business walks and hosting international delegations to showcase SMUD and our region.

Business attraction was a key economic development focus in 2017. We participated in 29 new business attraction, retention and expansion projects. Our work resulted in five wins and the creation of an estimated 1, 130 jobs within our service area. Projects included a 320,000 square foot building at McClellan Business Park in which Dome Printing will consolidate and expand operations, a 150,000 square foot facility at McClellan Business Park for a Chinese solar manufacturer (CSUN), and purchase of a building in Rancho Cordova by software development company Redtail Technologies. To cultivate additional projects, SMUD participated in eight business attraction, retention and expansion missions and tradeshows outside of California. Staff engaged with site selection consultants and key attraction prospects at conferences hosted by groups including the International Council of Shopping Centers and the Industrial Asset Management Council.

GM 18-076 Board Monitoring Report — SD 13 Economic Development Page 2 of 16 With each new business attraction, retention or expansion proj. ect, SMUD offers an Economic Development Rate (EDR) to qualified companies. In 2017, SMUD added 4 customers to the EDR: Mitsubishi Rayon, CSUN Solar, United States Cold Storage and Mary Ann's Bakery.

SMUD launched the Shine Sponsorship program to support neigh bo rhood -level economic development initiatives across our service area. In its first year, Shine awarded approximately $400,000 to 20 local non-profits. Additional detail is provided in Appendix B.

3) Information about our 2017 efforts to achieve the specific elements outlined in SD-13 is provided in the following section.

a) SMUD shall promote innovation while maintaining rate affordability and balancing the other strategic directions.

SMUD continued partnerships with Hacker Lab and InnoGrove to promote innovation, job creation and the expansion of local startup companies. These partnerships, as well as those facilitated through the Innovation Generator (IG), helped incentivize startup companies to work on solving some of public power's most significant technology imperatives.

The IG program was created to provide opportunities for SMUD to support innovation with minimal risk. IG partnerships give businesses with new ideas and technology an opportunity to partner with SMUD and leverage our resources, expertise, and customer connections to test and refine their technology. In exchange, SMUD gains new revenue streams from successful IG pilots while alleviating pain points and/or improving processes of internal customers and SMUD customers. 2017 marked the final year of the Innovation Generator program, which has now been replaced with our New Business Development group.

SMUD continued to explore a partnership with 1/0 Labs, engaging with their foundation through the Sacramento iHub. We formalized a sponsor relationship with CleanStart as it relaunched a number of activities that had gone dormant following the closure of the Sacramento Regional Technology Alliance (SARTA). Detailed information about our 2017 partnerships that promote innovation is provided in Appendix A.

SMUD continues to effectively balance our goal of fostering innovation with our commitment to keep rates low. SMUD's average rates will remain competitive even after the adopted rate increases in 2018 and 2019. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) authorized PG&E on May 11, 2017 to increase its electric rates 5.33% in 2018 and 4.02% in 2019. In 2017, SMUD's system average rate was 32% below PG&E. A detailed summary of SMUD's rate competitiveness is provided in Appendix A.

GM 18-076 Board Monitoring Report — SD 13 Economic Development Page 3 of 16 b) SMUD shall align its economic development activities with regional economic development initiatives

Business aftraction is a key regional priority. SMUD plays a critical role in the Greater Sacramento Economic Council (GSEC) with SMUD's CEO serving on its Executive Commiftee and staff members serving as active members of its Economic Development Director's Task Force, Marketing Commiftee and Young Professionals Council. Through these roles, SMUD provided indirect support in the attraction of five companies that will create 1, 130 jobs in SMUD's service territory. We also supported GSEC's efforts to market the region through a targeted marketing and PR campaign executed by Edelman. Detailed information about SMUD's role in key regional economic development organizations is provided in Appendix B.

SMUD hosted 10 international delegations in 2017, which included 133 visitors from 16 countries. Through these visits, we showcased SMUD and promoted our service area as a destination for foreign direct investments and international trade. These efforts are aligned with the World Trade Center's Metropolitan Export Plan.

To promote workforce and community development, SMUD continued support for Valley Vision's Urban Jobs Initiative. We also played a critical role in the Oak Park Promise Neighborhood Initiative. SMUD is committed to provide no-cost energy upgrades to improve household stability for qualified low-income residents, valued at $4.6 million over the next five years. SMUD also committed to provide competitive needs-based college scholarships for students pursuing STEM degrees. In May, SMUD launched the Shine community development program to promote neighborhood improvements and encourage community development across our region.

In September, SMUD supported the Sacramento Black Chamber of Commerce and participated in the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's national conference. Staff participated in a panel discussion on "Sustainability in Underrepresented Communities" and shared the ways in which SMUD is working with a network of community partners to improve neighborhoods and shrink the widening disparity gap in underserved communities. We addressed policy issues related to environmental justice and ways that SMUD is increasing the depth, breadth and reach of its community involvement to enhance economic development.

Staff led the Sacramento Metro Chamber Study Mission to Austin, Texas which provided an opportunity to demonstrate SMUD's leadership role in economic development.

SMUD also played a key role in developing and executing the inaugural Capital Region Executive Leadership Mission to Washington, DC. This new federal lobbying program washosted by Congresswoman Matsui, chaired by City of Sacramento

GM 18-076 Board Monitoring Report — SD 13 Economic Development Page 4 of 16 Mayor Steinberg, and organized by the Sacramento Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce and Region Business.

c) SMUD shall assist in retaining, recruiting and growing commercial and industrial rate-paying customers

In addition to our 29 new attraction, retention and expansion projects, staff cultivated potential projects by conducting and participating in eight missions and tradeshows during 2017.

Staff worked closely with the developers of the Downtown Plaza Tower and Downtown Commons (DoCo), and our Commercial Development team actively engaged with more than 120 commercial, mixed-use and residential project developers through our service territory.

Staff from numerous departments partnered with the Sacramento Metro Chamber and the Capital Region Small Business Development Center (SBDC). To support the attraction and retention of small business, the SBDC helped 41 businesses start up, retained 19 jobs, created 83 jobs and helped businesses access $11.2 million in capital during 2017.

CCS has developed a team for the Cannabis Industries intake process. The team acts as the point of contact and support for all customer inquiries related to Cannabis Operations.

d) SMUD shall offer economic development rates and program incentives

We added four customers to the EDR- Mitsubishi Rayon, CSUN Solar, United States Cold Storage and Mary Ann's Bakery. For additional information on SMUD's EDR, please see Appendix D.

Our small and mid-size business accounts team actively engaged with 613 customers, providing personalized assistance and tailored energy advice and solutions to meet the individual customer needs. . Energy savings of 5.17GVvh and demand savings of 3.61 MW. There were also several Savings by Design and Customized Incentive projects completed with small and mid-size business customers.

e) SMUD shall offer a contracting program for certified small businesses who are rate-paying customers

Our SEED program offers certified small businesses incentives to participate in SMUD's competitive bid process. It also helps prime contractors find local sub- contractors to gain an advantage in developing their bids or proposals.

GM 18-076 Board Monitoring Report — SD 13 Economic Development Page 5 of 16 Our Small Business Outreach and Engagement (SBOE) team held 14 workshops, orientations or panel discussions and coordinated participation in over 150 outreach events, reaching approximately 15,000 people with information about SEED.

SMUD's annual goal is to award 20% of all contracts to certified small businesses. We exceeded that goal in 2017, awarding 22.9% of contracts to SEED qualified vendors, totaling $58,150,544.78.

The SBOE team also coordinated the Business Advisory Council (BAC). The BAC raises local business awareness about contracting with SMUD and makes recommendations for improvements to our contracting process. BAC has two ad-hoc commiftees and their primary function is to address critical procurement mafters affecting our local business community and SMUD's Supply Chain department.

For more information about our 2017 efforts to promote our SEED program and achievement of our SEED goals, please see Appendix E.

4) Challenges: The regulatory climate in California, particularly the costs of doing business and regulatory compliance, are often cited as reasons why companies choose to locate in other states.

In 2017 Forbes Magazine ranked California 31st out of 50 states in its "Best States to do Business" report. While the state received relatively high marks for Economic Climate and Growth Prospects, it ranked 44th for Business Costs.

SMUD is actively working with regional and state partners, such as the Greater Sacramento Economic Council, GO-Biz and the California Association of Local Economic Development, to address the state and local regulatory challenges that limit our ability to attract new businesses.

5) Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board accept the Monitoring Report for SD-1 3, Economic Development.

GM 18-076 Board Monitoring Report — SD 13 Economic Development Page 6 of 16 APPENDIX A

SMUD shall promote innovation while maintaining rate affordability and balancing the other strategic directions.

In a healthy innovation ecosystem, resources invested in the knowledge economy through private, government, or direct business investment are subsequently replenished by innovation induced profit increases in the commercial economy. SMUD's approach to innovation includes investments in the knowledge economy that compliment business development efforts.

We support the full complement of Hacker Lab's entrepreneurial and maker education programs, as well as its business accelerator (Startup Hustle) through our continuing partnership. In 2017, Hacker Lab launched Innovator, a publication devoted to covering the Sacramento region's startups and makers.

Hacker Lab supported 286 new companies in our region during 2017, in industries including information & communication technology, health, food & agriculture and advanced manufacturing.

Hacker Lab trained more than 1,300 people in diverse course offerings including 3D printing, business entrepreneurship, robotics, and, electronics.

Our partnership with InnoGrove supported a STEM-related summer camp and other programs throughout the school year. InnoGrove hired a new employee in 2017 who is running many of the summer camp activities. InnoGrove's programs use PodPi, a comic book and story-based platform for kids (ages 8 tol 5) to learn the basics of electronics, robotics, and programming. The story takes kids on a journey to understand how complicated systems work and along the way, they program a computer chip mounted on a board with some hardware, such as lights or motors. 30 students participated in the summer camp In 2017.

InnoGrove also started working with Innovation Playground, a new group in Elk Grove formed by two elementary school teachers who recently moved from . They are hoping to continue this program and get into drone education in 2018. Throughout the school year, a total of 60 students participated in Innovation Playground activities.

We added five new partnerships to our Innovation Generator portfolio, in addition to nine existing projects. A pilot with Simple Energy established SMUD Energy Store, an e-commerce site for vetted energy and smart home products. We also partnered with Clean Power Research (CPR) to develop a DER planning tool software. The full build- out is expected to take approximately two years. A pilot with GridX is underway to implement a Billing Scenario Tool for customer service representatives to help customers understand various bill impacts (e.g. rates changes, EV purchase, etc.). We

GM 18-076 Board Monitoring Report — SD 13 Economic Development Page 7 of 16 added on to the First Advisor services that FirstFuel already provides by developing additional modules to help our Strategic Account Advisors recommend products and programs to customers. Finally, we entered into a multi-year partnership with NEC and STI to jointly develop products and services for the recently deregulated Japanese electricity market.

2017 continued to be a year of transition for 1/0 Labs. While continuing to advance its plans for physical space, 1/0 Labs assumed management responsibilities for the Sacramento iHub — one of ten in California. The statewide network of iHubs is overseen by the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz).

Continuing our prior partnership with CleanStart as a program of the former Sacramento Regional Technology Alliance (SARTA), SMUD served as a sponsor of CleanStart, supporting the relaunch of programs such as their entrepreneur training classes and publication of the annual progress report for the region's Clean Tech industry.

Commitment to Low Rates: SMUD continues to maintain rates that are below PG&E's, both at a system level and by rate class.

Figure I compares SMUD and PG&E system average rates for the past 20 years. On a system average basis, SMUD's system average rates have averaged 23.6% below PG&E's since 1998. SMUD's average rates will remain competitive even after the adopted rate increases in 2018 and 2019.

SMUD shall offer economic development rates and program incentives.

SMUD offered economic incentives to help aftract new businesses and expand existing ones to grow the regional economy. Incentives ranged from helping design new construction, offering energy-efficient upgrades for equipment and proposing our economic development rate.

At the start of 2015, SMUD updated its EDR for potential customers or existing customers with a 299 or more kW load, who create or retain 25 full-time jobs in high unemployment areas or 50 jobs in the rest of our service territory. The company must also be in a specified North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. Customers that met this criteria receive a discount of five percent the first year, three percent the second year, and one percent the third year, based on a five-year full- service contract.

SMUD offers several energy efficiency incentives to help meet the financial responsibility goals and growing sustainability needs of our commercial customers. Our Savings by Design, Complete Energy Solutions, and Express Energy Solutions programs offer incentives to help customers finance and install new energy-saving equipment and make energy efficiency modifications to their building. We also offer assistance with energy management and incentives for load shifting and curtailment.

Our small- and mid-size business team fulfilled 306 Express Energy Solutions customer projects with combined energy savings of 5.17 GWh and demand savings of 3.61 MW. There were also several Savings by Design and customized incentive customer projects completed with small and mid-size business customers.

To increase visibility and raise awareness of SMUD's contributions to the regional economy, we launched the 70 Years Bright" integrated marketing campaign. This included promoting our efforts to support businesess throughout the entire lifecycle — from small business contracting opportunities and startup support to the aftraction and retention of Fortune 500 companies through website content, a promotional video and ads to showcase SMUD's impact. This campaign aligned with others, such as the SMUD Means Business Campaing, which highlighted successful partnerships with businesses to highlight ways in which commercial customers can save through SMUD.

Grand Total $58,150,544.78 195 100%

Note.- The acronym PO refers to "Purchase Orders."

The SEED team focused its efforts on the following key outreach initiatives:

Sacramento Public Agency Consortium (SacPAC) — During 2017, SMUD was chosen to chair SacPAC, a collaborative effort of public agencies and small business assistance organizations in the Sacramento region. Members include the State of California, County of Sacramento, CalTrans, Regional Transit, Small Business Association, SCORE, Sacramento Small Business Development Center, Hillsdale Business Information Center, Metro Chamber, Sacramento Asian Chamber of Commerce, Procurement Technical Assistance Center, Sacramento Black Chamber of Commerce and the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

"Meet the Primes" Events / HQ Rehabilitation Project — SMUD coordinated a Meet the Primes event in support of the Headquarters Rehabilitation Project. The event was designed to facilitate SEED sub-contracting participation. SEED staff coordinated the event for the prime contractor and Tier 1 subcontractors to connect with SEED sub-contractors. This effort resulted in approximately 28% SEED sub-contracting, representing $18M of the total contracts awarded.

"Meet the Buyers" Conference — SMUD staff partnered with SacPac members to host the 6 th annual "Meet the Buyers" conference. The event is a forum for

GM 18-076 Board Monitoring Report — SD 13 Economic Development Page 15 of 16 small local contractors to meet SMUD buyers and learn about contract'ing opportunities. 144 businesses attended and were able to meet one-on-one with the buyers, as well as register on-site in SMUD's EBSS and update their profile. New industry specific workshops were incorporated to enhance and add extra value to the event.

Connecting Point conference — SMUD, in conjunction with SacPAC, coordinated the Connecting Point conference during Capitol Region Small Business Week. More than 300 people representing local businesses attended the conference. The expo featured over 65 public and private sector exhibitors seeking small businesses to contract with and included a "Cyber Caf6," allowing vendors to register on the spot in SMUD's EBSS. Staff partnered with many of the exhibitors to provide workshops and panel discussions designed to remove barriers to contracting.

Capital Region Small Business Week — We supported, coordinated, exhibited and participated in all activities throughout the Capitol Region Small Business Week. SMUD was the "Powered by" sponsor for this regional event and the 70 Years Bright campaign was featured and highlighted with visibility throughout the week's activities.

How to Do Business with SMUD: Pilot Industry Specific Workshops — We piloted a new workshop format to engage new business vendors. SBOE staff collaborated with Supply Chain to deliver four industry-specific pilot workshops to help address some common barriers to participation by sector. The workshops featured industry-specific content tied to our top four procurement categories, allowing attendees to ask very targeted questions related to their work. This format improved understanding of SMUD's procurement program and increased the likelihood of future participation.

Sheltered Market Catering Contract — SEED and Supply Chain coordinated a Sheltered Market Master Service Agreement opportunity, awarding nine contracts to SEED qualified caterers.

New Partners — SMUD expanded external outreach efforts by creating two new MOU partnership agreements -- with the Capital Asian American Professional Society and the National Association of VVomen Business Owners.

Arlen Orchard Board Monitoring Report 2017 SD-14, System Enhancement Policy # SMUD

1. Background

Strategic Direction 14, the System Enhancement policy states that:

As a community-owned utility, SMUD recognizes that the relocation or underground placement of primary voltage power lines may be desirable to local J'urisdictions to improve aesthetics, economic vitality, safety and disabled access. Therefore, it is a key value of SMUD to make selected distribution system enhancements, such as permanent relocation or underground placement of primary power lines below 69 kV.

a) SMUD will, at its expense and where technically feasible, permanently relocate or underground existing overhead distribution facilities provided the governing body of the city or county in which the electric facilities are and will be located has:

i) Identified, after consultation with SMUD, a specific system enhancement project,- ii) Determined the project is in the public interest,- iii) Ensured all existing overhead communication facilities related to the project will also be permanently relocated or placed underground,- iv) Obtained and provided SMUD with all easements necessary for the project.

b) After achievement of core financial targets, SMUD will annually commit up to one-half of one percent of its annual gross electric sales revenue to system enhancements. The proposed projects will be subject to SMUD's annual budget approval process, and uncommifted funds from any given year will not be carried over to future years. Funding will be assigned to projects brought forward by local cities or counties based on applying the following criteria (not in order of preference):

i) Project scale and/or cost when measured against available District resources. ii) Requesting entity has developed full scope, obtained all necessary easements, and development plan for customer service conversion from overhead to underground, as required. iii) Extent to which the costs are borne by others.

GM 18-051 Board Monitoring Report 2017 SD-14 — System Enhancement Policy Page 1 of 8 2. Executive summary

SD-14 supports our North Star objective of Value Our Customers and Community by partnering with local agencies on their projects to improve aesthetics, economic vitality, safety and disabled access through the relocation or underground placement of existing power lines below 69kV.

SMUD has approximately 3,300 miles of overhead distribution lines (excluding 69kV), Approximately 4% (145 miles) of the distribution lines parallel commercial corridors and are likely candidates for System Enhancement proj'ects.

In 2008, the Board modified the policy to create more opportunities for System Enhancement projects rather than restricting them to just commercial corridors. The revised policy also included language to clarify that all communications facilities within the boundaries of the System Enhancement project must also be relocated or placed underground. In addition, the revised policy included the requirement that System Enhancement project funding must be approved through the annual budget process and uncommitted funds could not be carried into future years.

In 2017, the Board revised the policy to clarify that it applies to the permanent relocation or underground placement of existing overhead distribution facilities.

SMUD is in compliance with the policy. The policy states that SMUD "will annually commit up to one-half of one percent of its annual gross electric sales revenue to system enhancements." For 2017, this threshold was approximately $6.8 million.

There were no specific projects identified when the 2017 budget was developed. However, the County's Hazel Avenue Phase 2 project encountered delays and resulted in the construction of SMUD's underground facilities to carry over into 2017. In addition, a reimbursement was issued to the Ice Blocks project for the relocation of SMUD's existing facilities. The actual spending on these two projects in 2017 was $1 million and funded from the contingency budget. The table below summarizes the spending by project.

Grand Total: $2.4M $2.77M $0 $1.0m

Since 2017, there have been increased awareness and interest from the commercial development community regarding the SD-14 policy. As a result, SMUD staff initiated another round of education effort and reached out to City and County staff as well as their elected officials to describe the process for private development projects. SMUD Commercial Development staff will also be launching a proactive education and outreach effort to inform the nearly 160 identified developers in our service territory regarding the policy and the process for SD-14 funding considerat'ion.
