Attachment 2 provides an energy dashboard that contains a breakdown of Central San's energy usage for the month of December 2023 along with a comparison of the energy used during the fourth quarter of the calendar year. The chart shows the cost breakdown of Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and Marin Clean Energy (MCE) electricity. NATURAL GAS PURCHASE 2) Natural Gas Agreement to Purchase On July 20, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the General Manager to agree to purchase natural gas through 2025 with a $7.00 per dekatherm limit. Staff has agreed to purchase 333 dekatherms per day at $5.50 per dekatherm for January 2025 to December of 2025. This is the first agreed -to -purchase amount for 2025. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE 3) 2023 Title V Clean Air Act Annual Report Submitted Central San's Treatment Plant operates under two air quality permits: the annual Permit - to -Operate (PTO) issued and enforced by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), and the five-year Federal Title V Major Facility Air Permit (Title V Permit) issued and enforced by both BAAQMD and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Central San is required to prepare a comprehensive report annually, summarizing its compliance status for both the Title V Permit and the PTO. During the reporting year of 2023, Central San complied with all Title V and PTO permit requirements except for four compliance deviations: a bypass event on Furnace 1, a scrubber differential pressure deviation on Furnace 1, and two inoperative monitor occurrences, one on the Furnace 1 opacity monitor and one on the Cogeneration nitrogen oxides monitor. BAAQMD issued one Notice of Violation in 2023 for the Furnace 1 bypass event. Regulatory Compliance staff works closely with the Operations and Maintenance divisions to identify the root cause of each compliance deviation, implement any necessary corrective actions, and communicate the findings and response actions to BAAQMD. A copy of the report is available upon request from Central San's Secretary of the District.
