Smith, Finance Director J u n e 23, 2014 Council Referral item #504 - Solar Panels vs. Utility Surcharge Referral - Councilmember Maxwell requested that staff provide informat the credit received by citizens for having solar panels could reduce reven� from the utility surcharge. Response - The utility surcharge revenues received by the City each yea on the gross revenue receipts received by PG&E for their sale of elect revenues are a product of two factors; the quantity of electricity used ar they charge per unit of electricity. In theory, as more and more people panels on their homes each residence individually would use less electric utility providers. However, there are multiple factors to consider in dete overall impact in aggregate from year to year regarding the City's collec� surcharge revenues. One factor is the total quantity of electricity used in Bakersfield. Even tr individuals may use less electricity from year to year, others may use morE The California Energy Commission produced a report in 2012 which electricity demands for California through the year 2022. The report esi consumption of electricity in California will grow by 0.44� to 1.28� per y� the year 2022. The second factor is the price paid per unit for the given quantity used rates with PG&E have risen steadily over the past 30 years and accor Energy Commission forecast rates for electricity will continue to rise betweE 13.1 � from 2010 to the year 2022. The Building department has been tracking the number of residential s� since the year 201 1. The attached chart shows four different statistics that the above discussion points. The two lines on the bottom of the chart sho� building permits and residential solar permits for the 201 1 to 2013 calendai top two lines show (in relative terms) gross receipts of electricity revenue surcharge revenues. As you can see on the chart, while the number of solar permits excE construction permits in both 201 1 and 2013, both revenue streams continu The Gross revenue of PG&E for the Bakersfield area grew from $312 mil million and the utility surcharge revenues grew from $4,325,000 to $4,695,00� Given the relatively short data history available we would suggest that we monitor this issue and report back to the Council periodically.
