California Will Only Achieve Its Building Energy Reduction Goals Through Leveraging Private Capital
The California Legislature has set ambitious goals to mitigate climate change:
AB 32 2006 Requires state to reduce its GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
AB 758 2009 Recognizes the need for California to address climate change through reduced energy consumption in existing buildings (residential, commercial, and public).
AB 802 2015 Authorizes energy efficiency programs to bring existing buildings up to current code and creates a building energy use benchmarking and disclosure.
SB 350 2015 Requires doubling of the state’s energy efficiency savings by 2030.
SB 32 2016 Requires the state to reduce GHG emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030.
SB 100 2018 Requires 100% of retail electricity sales to be RPS-eligible or zero-carbon by 2045

California Public Utilities Commission Authorized $75 Million Toward a Series of Statewide Financing Pilots to:
CHEEF - administered by CAEATFA, isa public-private partnership engaging lenders and contractors, designed to encourage an uptake of energy efficiency projects through increased access to financing
CAEATFA - housed in the State Treasurer’s Office, develops programs to leverage private capital to support the State’s energy and environmental policy goals.
The Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) are CAEATFA’s partners in developing and implementing the CHEEF pilots.
Marketing ImplementerCenter for Sustainable Energy runs the Statewide marketing campaign, connecting small business owners to the Program.
1. “Develop scalable and leveraged financing products to stimulate deeper EE projects than previously achieved through traditional program approaches (e.g., audits, rebates, and information)”
2. “Test whether transitional ratepayer support for Credit Enhancements can lead to self-supporting EE finance programs in the future”

Affordable Multifamily Program is Designed to Address Barriers to EE Financing
Today’s Challenges CHEEF SolutionsAffordable MF owners lack sufficient capital
to make EE upgradesExpand access to capital and improve rates and terms.
Senior mortgage holders & tax equity investors restrict ability to take on debt.
Offer non-debt products like Energy Service Agreements
Property owners see EE investments as too much work and a low priority.
Program designed to be easy to use with Program staff assisting the customer through the process
Accessing rebates and incentives is already a time intensive process for property owners.
Leverages IOU and other affordable MF programs (LIWP, SOMAH, BayRen, SocalRen, MCE) to streamline qualification and offers single measure pathway.

Finance Company May Recoup 90% ofClaim-eligible Charge-off Amount
o Financing is “Claim-Eligible” for 10 yearso Payments are paid “net of recovery” – company
won’t be made more than 100% wholeo If finance company recovers additional funds after
claim is paid such that they are more than 100% whole, finance company reimburses the Program
o Finance company takes reasonable steps toward recovery (in line with industry standard) through liquidation of collateral or collecting personal guarantees, if applicable
o Finance company can assign payment to a third party
o If funds in LR Account are insufficient to cover 90% of charge-off, future contributions can be accessed to cover the charge-off.
Claims Process
Financing customer defaults Loan/lease/agreement is charged off
Finance entity takes reasonable collection steps
Finance entity files claim with Program within 180 days of charge-off
Program pays out 90% of claim-eligible charged off amount, funds in LR account permitting

CAEATFA Will Rebalance the Loan LossReserve Accounts Annually
o CPUC Decision 13-09-044 requires CAEATFA to recapture funds periodically for Program use or to return to Ratepayers for other programs
o CAEATFA wants to balance allowing finance companies to build up their LR account balances with having credit enhancement funds available for additional projects
o Proposed rebalance methodology makes allowances for claims, supporting the “portfolio insurance” feature of the LR Account
Rebalancing ProcessIn July, CAEATFA looks at previous fiscal year to see which
enrolled loans/leases/agreements have fully paid off
CAEATFA recoups original LR contribution amount for paid off loans/leases/agreements
If a claim has been made during the fiscal year, CAEATFA will reduce the recapture amount by the amount of the claim
If the claim amount is larger than the recapture amount, there will be no recapture of funds for that year

Example of a ClaimOriginal Total Service Agreement Amount $500,000
Original Claim-Eligible Financed Amount $300,000 e.g. $200,000 of original amount for solar and PV charging station
Claim-Eligible Percentage 60% Original Claim Eligible Financed Amount / Original Total Service Agreement Amount
Total Outstanding Amount at time of charge-off $100,000
Total Outstanding Claim-Eligible Amount at time of charge-off $60,000 Claim-Eligible Percentage x Total Outstanding Amount at time of
charge-off
Total potential claim allowance $54,000 90% x Total Outstanding Claim-Eligible Financed Amount
“Charge-Off” means: For loans and leases - outstanding principal balance at the time of charge-off. For service agreements or savings-based payment agreements - the Original Total Financed Amount divided by the number of months in the term multiplied by the number of months remaining in the term.
