CleanPowerSF, operated by the SFPUC, provides electricity from renewable sources to approximately 380,000 San Francisco customers.

This ordinance proposes to appropriate $759,000 in CleanPowerSF revenue for Capital Improvements and $848,220 in CPUC grant funds to implement the Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff and Community Solar Green Tariff Programs for FY 2023-2024, for a total appropriation of $1,607,220.

The appropriation will support various programs, including new renewable energy development and customer incentive programs. Retail rates are projected to decrease by 10.8 percent in FY 2022-23, increase by 15 percent in FY 2023-24, and then decrease by 3 percent from FY 2024-25 through FY 2032-33.

This funding aligns with the SFPUC’s 10-Year Financial Plan, where approximately $73 million is allocated to various CleanPowerSF Capital Improvement programs from FY 2023-24 to FY 2032-33, including renewable energy development and discounts for eligible customers under specific tariff programs.

This ordinance requires approval by the Board of Supervisors upon the Controller's certification of funds availability according to Charter Section 9.105. Additionally, Charter Section F1.113 mandates that 0.2 percent of the City's budget, excluding bond debt, be set aside for the Controller's audit fund.

The recommendation of the Budget and Legislative Analyst is to approve the proposed ordinance.
