California Energy Commission Diverse Responsibilities

• Energy Analysis develop key energy metrics and archive historic data

• Permitting: review and permit thermal power plants >= 50 megawatts (MW)

• R&D: research and development program administration (e.g. PIER and EPIC)

• Energy Efficiency: promulgate appliance and building energy efficiency regulations (Title 20 & 24)

• Transportation: support deployment of alternative vehicles and renewable fueling infrastructure

• Renewable Energy: administer renewable

incentive programs, provide certification, and

verification of renewable generation, and

promulgate POU RPS regulations

• Contingency Planning: State energy

emergency planning and oversight

• IEPR: publication of the “Integrated Energy

Policy Report,” the State’s official source of

energy policy guidance 3

California’s Energy PolicyKey Policies & Goals

Assembly Bill 32 2006 legislation reducing GHG emissions to or below 1990 levels by 2020.

Executive Order S-3-05GHG Emissions

Issued by Gov. Schwarzenegger, establishes goal to reduce GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.

Energy Action Plan’s Preferred Loading Order

Issued in 2003 and 2008, prioritizes cost effective investments in: 1st) EE and DR; 2nd) renewables and DG; and 3rd) clean fossil fuel sources and infrastructure improvements .

Clean Energy Jobs Plan Established in 2010 by Gov. Brown, directs production of 20 gigawatts (GW) of new renewables by 2020, 12 GW of distributed energy, and 6.5 GW of CHP.

Senate Bill X1-2 2011 legislation requiring all electricity retailers to meet 33% of retail sales with renewable energy resources by 2020.

CPUC Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan Sets efficiency goals, including zero net energy (ZNE) goals for new homes by 2020, and for new commercial buildings by 2030

Executive Order B-18-2012Green State Buildings

Issued by Gov. Brown, directs efficiency improvements in new or renovated state buildings larger than 10,000 square feet; sets ZNE and GHG reduction goals.

Executive Order B-16-2012 Zero Emission Vehicles

Issued by Gov. Brown, sets long-term target of reaching 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) by 2025; establishes goal to reduce GHG emissions from transportation sector to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.

Low Carbon Fuel StandardAdopted in 2009, the regulation requires a 10 percent reduction in the carbon intensity of California’s transportation fuels by 2020.

California Energy Commission2013 Integrated Energy Policy Report Scope

• Demand response – Demand Response action plan • Efficiency – Definition of and pathway to zero net energy,

efficiency in existing buildings• Renewables – Status of bioenergy development, barriers

to biomethane• Electricity – Demand forecast, reliability given SONGS

outage, strategic transmission plan• Nuclear – Utility progress on 2011 IEPR recs on seismic

safety, spent fuel storage, and station blackouts• Natural gas – Demand forecast, market trends and outlook• Transportation – Supply/demand forecast, evaluation of

projects funded under AB 118 • Climate change – Impacts on energy supply and demand

California Energy CommissionDesert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP)

• Mandated by Executive Order # S-14-08

• Created to help meet RPS goals

• Initiated in late 2010, draft expected in 2013

• PARTICIPANTS: Energy Commission, CPUC, CAISO, CA Department of Fish & Game, BLM, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, National Parks Service, U.S. EPA, Department of Defense

A collaborative process to guide renewable development in the California desert that protects environmental, cultural and military interests.

Transportation Sector

Key to meeting both GHG and air quality goals

Mobile sources are largest source of both GHG and air pollutant emissions

• 40% of state GHG emissions • Over 80% of NOx emissions

Fundamental transformation needed

• Fuels• Vehicles• Infrastructure

Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program

• $100 million annual Investment• Supports climate change, low-carbon fuel, and air

pollution policy• Promotes economic development• Invests in fueling and vehicles

Page 10: Energy Policy Challenges and Transportation Opportunities

Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (AB118)

The Purpose “…develop and deploy innovative technologies that transform California’s fuel and vehicle types to help attain the state’s climate change policies.”

(Health and Safety Code Section 44272(a))

The Investment Plan• Advisory panel provides guidance from broad cross section of

California stakeholder groups• Allow members of the public to participate in funding allocation

process• Direct program activities to assist in achieving state policy goals

ARFVTP (AB 118) Funding and Objectives

• Invest in a portfolio of alternative low-carbon and renewable fuels and advanced vehicle technologies in California to help meet our energy, environmental, and economic goals.

• Alternative fuel production, distribution and dispensing• Alternative technology vehicle development and

manufacturing for trucks and light duty vehicles – (EVs, CNG/LNG, Fuel Cell, Flex Fuel)

• Workforce training• Environmental, market and technology assessments• Leveraging private sector investments
