I-5
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: MANNY ROBLEDO, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JUNE 15, 2020
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE 2019 POWER SOURCE DISCLOSURE REPORT, THE
2019 POWER CONTENT LABEL, AND ATTESTATION TO THE CALIFORNIA
ENERGY COMMISSION
BACKGROUND:
Senate Bill 1305 (SB 1305), enacted in 1997, requires retail providers to disclose sources of electric
generation by fuel type. Commonly referred to as the Power Source Disclosure Program Report
(PSD), the City submits this initial information by June of each year to the California Energy
Commission (CEC). Thereafter the CEC releases the Power Content Label (PCL), a template used
by retail providers to provide information to customers about the utility’s mix of electricity with
reference to the mix of resources used in California for the reporting year. The 2019 PSD and
Power Content Label will report that 30.3% of Azusa Light and Water (ALW) electricity sales were
derived from eligible renewable energy resources, i.e. 10.3% wind, 17.5% solar, and 2.5% small-
hydro.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Utility Board take the following action:
1) Approve the 2019 Power Source Disclosure Program Annual Report;
2) Approve the 2019 Power Content Label; and
3)Authorize the Director of Utilities, or his designee, to execute and submit the Power
Source Disclosure Program Attestation Form.

ANALYSIS:
Staff has prepared the City’s 2019 Power Content Label with its applicable fuel mix and will update
the California power mix column once it is published by the CEC by late summer.
The CEC regulation was updated with a change that includes a provision that retail providers
engage an independent third party to confirm the veracity of the utility’s claims. The regulation
includes an exemption from this provision “if the governing board approves at a public meeting an
attestation of the veracity of the annual report.” Further, Azusa Light and Water may submit an
attestation certifying such accuracy of the retail electricity product claims as reported.
Staff seeks board approval of City’s 2019 Power Source Disclosure Program Report and 2019
Power Content Label (attached), and seeks authorization for the Director of Utilities to execute and
submit the Power Source Disclosure Program Attestation Form. Staff anticipates publishing the
2019 Power Content Label on the City’s website by October 1, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with recommended actions of this consent item.
