TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: TIKAN SINGH, GENERAL MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 27, 2022
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE 2021 POWER SOURCE DISCLOSURE REPORT
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 Annual 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 the State of California for the reporting year. The 2021
PSD and PCL will report that 31.6% of Azusa Light and Water (ALW) electricity sales were
derived from eligible renewable energy resources, i.e. 12% wind, 19.2% solar, and 0.4% small
hydro.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Utility Board take the following action:
1) Approve the 2021 Power Source Disclosure Annual Report.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has prepared the City’s 2021 Power Source Disclosure Annual Report. This report includes
and claims Azusa’s procured 2021 power by fuel type.
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, ALW may submit an attestation certifying
such accuracy of the retail electricity product claims as reported.
Staff seeks board approval of the City’s 2021 Power Source Disclosure Annual Report and thereby
attesting to its veracity. Once the CEC publishes the Power Content Label forms (expected late
summer 2022), Staff will prepare ALW’s 2021 Power Content Label with its applicable fuel mix
with reference to the California overall 2021 power mix.
Staff anticipates publishing the 2021 Power Content Label on the City’s website by October 1,
2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with recommended actions of this consent item.
