A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF LAKE ELSINORE AND THE CITY OF TEMECULA FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
THE SOUTHWEST RIVERSIDE COUNTY ENERGY AUTHORITY (SRCEA)
Whereas, the Local Government Renewable Energy Self- Generation Program, Public Utilities
Code Section 2830, requires that the investor -owned utilities like Southern California Edison
(SCE) offer a tariff commonly referred to as the Renewable Energy Self- Generation Bill Credit
Transfer Program or RES -BCT tariff that allows Local Governments to generate energy from an
Eligible Renewable Generating Facility for their own use as a Generating Account, export energy
not consumed at the time of generation by the Generating Account onto SCE's grid, and have a
bill credit applied to designated Benefiting Accounts for the energy exported onto SCE's grid (as
such terms are defined therein); and,
Whereas, Assembly Bill 1773, signed into law on September 26, 2016, amended Public Utilities
Code Section 2830 to expand the definition of an eligible Local Government to include certain
joint powers authorities, and to provide the eligibility requirements for Benefiting Accounts of such
authorities. Specifically, the definition of Local Government was revised in Section 2830(a)(6) to
include a joint powers authority formed pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Chapter 5
(commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code) that has as
members public agencies located within the same county and same electrical corporation service
territory, ...; and,
Whereas, Assembly Bill 1773 further added a new subsection (b) to Section 2830(a)(1) to provide
the eligibility requirements for Benefiting Accounts of joint powers authorities as follows:
"The account or accounts belong to members of a joint powers authority
and are located within the geographical boundaries of the group of public
agencies that formed the joint powers authority, if the eligible renewable
generating facility and electricity account or accounts are wholly located
within the confines of a single county within which the joint powers authority
is located and electric service is provided by a single electrical corporation,
with the account or accounts being mutually agreed upon by the joint
powers authority and the electrical corporation ",
Whereas, the City of Lake Elsinore and the City of Temecula are located entirely within Riverside
County and are exclusively within the service territory of SCE; and,
Whereas, the City of Lake Elsinore desires to participate in the Local Government Renewable
Self- Generation Program pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 2830 as a member of a joint
powers authority that is comprised of members that are public agencies and are authorized and
empowered to contract with all the other members for the joint exercise of powers under Articles
I and II, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of the California
