Study: City-Run Electric Utility Could Face ‘Financial Jeopardy’

A new study by economists at Point Loma Nazarene University concludes that a city-run electric utility would face “financial jeopardy.”

The study by Dr. Lynn Reaser and her team at the Fermanian Business and Economic Institute analyzed a report about the feasibility of San Diego becoming a “Community Chose Aggregator,” or CCA, to buy and resell power to residents.

California has adopted this program, which permits cities and counties to purchase or generate electricity for residents and businesses located within their boundaries, taking over from a privately-owned utility.

​“A CCA poses large risks to the city, which could jeopardize its financial stability and its ability to meet other funding priorities. This risk is particularly problematic in that the CCA is unlikely to achieve its objectives in terms of renewable energy, rate savings for customers, or economic benefits,” according to the study released earlier this week.

Economic Analysis Finds Major Flaws with City’s CCA Report

Project could expose San Diego to massive financial risks and offer few of the benefits claimed in report.
Picture
SAN DIEGO (September 21, 2017) – Leading business economist Dr. Lynn Reaser released an independent analysis today of the City of San Diego’s feasibility study for a government-controlled energy program that determined the city’s study is flawed, lacks critical information, and reaches a conclusion not supported by the facts.

​“The feasibility study’s finding that a CCA (Community Choice Aggregator) would be ‘feasible’ is at best a weak endorsement, especially in light of the number of risks regarding both its benefits and costs,” Dr. Reaser’s analysis says. “Our analysis finds that even this conclusion of feasibility cannot be supported on the basis of the 803-page study.”

“Given the sizeable financial risks associated with the many uncertainties involved in a CCA, the city should wait, or work with the local utility on potential alternatives that avoid incurring such serious financial jeopardy."

Group aims to ensure costs and benefits of Climate Action programs are fully understood before critical decisions are made.
Picture
SAN DIEGO (September 14, 2017) – A new coalition, Clear the Air, has been formed to urge the City of San Diego to achieve its ambitious Climate Action goals in a cost-effective manner that benefits our environment, stimulates the economy and protects local families and businesses. The City’s consideration of a government-run energy program, or Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), is the first major opportunity to ensure costs and benefits are fully considered before critical climate decisions are made.    
 
“The City of San Diego’s unanimous passage of a landmark Climate Action Plan is something we can all be proud of,” said coalition member Ruben Barrales, President of the Latino Leadership & Policy Forum. “It’s now time to build on that collaborative effort and have a robust discussion that helps achieve our climate goals in a way that benefits all San Diegans.”
