W A T E R E N E R G Y L I F E <br />RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES <br />Board Memorandum <br />P U B L I C U T I L I T I E S <br />BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES <br />DATE: APRIL 10, 2023 <br />SUBJECT: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PUBLIC POWER AUTHORITY SEMI-ANNUAL <br />EXPENDITURE REPORT FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 2022 THROUGH <br />DECEMBER 2022 <br />ISSUE: <br />Consider receiving an update on the Southern California Public Power Authority semi-annual <br />expenditures for the period of July 2022 through December 2022. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />That the Board of Public Utilities receive, and recommend that City Council receive, the Southern <br />California Public Power Authority semi-annual expenditure report for the period of July 2022 <br />through December 2022. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) is a member of the Southern California Public Power Authority <br />(SCPPA), a joint powers authority, formed to capture the economies of scale by collectively <br />working with 12 local publicly owned utilities. <br />RPU's participation in SCPPA activities is voluntary and undertaken only when participating <br />through SCPPA is expected to add value in the form of 1) cost savings as compared to Riverside <br />acting individually; and/or 2) staff savings achieved by collaborating on common issues and <br />avoiding the duplication of effort at each utility. <br />The majority of RPU's expenditures associated with SCPPA relate directly to its participation in <br />generation, transmission, and renewable projects where there is joint interest by other utilities. <br />RPU has the choice to participate in other joint member utility services such as energy efficiency <br />programs, training, association dues, and legislative or regulatory advocacy where services are <br />procured using economies -of -scale pricing from the collective buying power of SCPPA members, <br />resulting in significant ratepayer savings. <br />On February 21, 2017, the City Council received an update on RPU's participation and <br />involvement in SCPPA and directed staff to provide a semi-annual report to the Board of Public <br />Utilities (Board) and the City Council on expenditures. City Council also directed staff to seek <br />Board and City Council approval for services procured through SCPPA over $50,000. Consistent <br />with the City's procurement process, services between $25,000 and $50,000 are approved by the <br />City Manager and services up to $25,000 are approved by the Utilities General Manager. <br />
