Overarching Policy Themes


Energy Action Plan “Meeting this goal requires the cooperation and teamwork

of multiple sectors of the California economy,” (2008 Update, pg.2).

CPUC Long-Term Strategic Plan “California has taken this principle to heart and with three

decades of leadership and innovation in the public and private sectors, California leads the nation, and perhaps the world, in developing and implementing successful energy efficiency efforts,” (pg.1).

CAISO Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Roadmap “Based upon input receive during the roadmap’s stakeholder

process about the need for collaboration, the ISO, CPUC, and CEC are developing a cross-agency DR and EE workplan,” (pg.2).

State Senate Hearings


“Preliminary assessment of the state’s major energy incentive programs finds that the state currently lacks a comprehensive framework that fully coordinates these activities to help ensure that the state’s goals are being achieved.”

State Senate Hearings


“Since the needs of grid operation are dramatically changing due to the rapid investments in clean energy, the joint agencies are coordinating to ensure future energy efficiency programs can help reduce the need for generation at critical times of the day and year.”

Letter to Senators Padilla and Fuller February 25, 2013CEC, CAISO, CPUC

New and Forthcoming Initiatives


AB 32 and Prop 39 implementation facilitated through statewide approaches to developing statewide consistent savings estimates.

EPA’s proposed rule for regulating emissions from existing plans released June 1st EPA released proposed rule for regulating carbon

emissions from power plants on June 1, 2014, pursuant to Section 111(d) of the CAA

Energy efficiency will very likely be accepted method for achieving compliance

Cal TF may foster compliance using efficiency if it leads to statewide system of ex ante values for energy efficiency

Conclusion


Cal TF clearly supports and will help achieve state goals for energy efficiency.

Furthermore, Cal TF will facilitate implementation of new federal and state clean energy initiatives, including: AB 32 and Prop 39 implementation Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act
