CA’s Clean Energy Landscape Collaboration with Local Governments to Amplify State Efforts Terra Weeks Advisor to Commissioner David Hochschild California Energy Commission Ken Rider Chief of Staff to Commissioner David Hochschild California Energy Commission

California Energy Commission Primary energy policy and planning agency Created in 1974 in response to energy crisis and growing energy demand Reduce energy costs and environmental impacts, while ensuing safe, resilient, reliable supply 5 Commissioners, appointed by Governor and confirmed by the Senate Bob Weisenmiller Chair Karen Douglas Siting & Compliance David Hochschild Renewables Andrew McAllister Energy Efficiency Janea Scott Transportation

CA’s GHG Reduction Goals 2020 Target 1990 levels 2030 Target 40% below 1990 levels Transportation Electricity Gen. (In-State) Electricity Gen. (Imports) 2050 Target 80% below 1990 levels Residential Commercial Not Specified Industrial Ag & Forestry Source: CARB California Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory - 2017 Edition

CA’s Renewable Portfolio Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) 50% 33% 20% 2013 2020 2030 Today: ~30% renewable energy 2016 CA Electricity Mix

Largely Due to Bold State Efforts Aggressive Targets Goal of 20,000 MW renewable energy by 2020 (~30 power plants) Goal: 8,000 MW utility-scale Today: 17,210 MW installed Goal: 12,000 MW distributed Today: 10,520 MW installed Goal to double energy efficiency by 2030 Goal to install solar on 50% of new homes by 2020

Largely Due to Bold State Efforts Robust Programs California Solar Initiative (CSI) $2.1 Billion in solar incentives Net Energy Metering (NEM) Compensation for rooftop solar Cap & Trade Sets emissions cap R&D funding $140 Million per year Low-Income Barriers Study Increase equitable distribution of clean energy benefits

Community Choice Aggregation Benefits: Customer choice Increased local accountability Flexibility to reach more aggressive renewable energy targets Complement local policies Another avenue for cities to go beyond state requirements Operational: 8 Launching 2018: 7 Exploring: 13

Zero Emission Vehicles 2018 Executive Order: 5 million ZEVs by 2030 (now ~350,000) 200,000 EV charging stations 200 hydrogen stations Renewables integration Workplace & public charging City ordinances for EV charging SF, Oakland, Fremont

Building Decarbonization Buildings responsible for 11% of total CA emissions—equal to all emissions from in-state power generation 86% of onsite emissions from residential buildings are from water heating and space heating alone.

Building Decarbonization Benefits GHG reductions: can be up to 6x as efficient as conventional heating technologies Cost savings in new construction Comfort and air quality Renewables integration Water Heating Space Heating Natural Gas Water Heater Heat Pump Water Heater Natural Gas Furnace Heat Pump Space Heater Swap for Swap for  

Model Solar Ordinance

CA Building Code New construction & major retrofits Different requirements for different building types Updated every 3 years Current code is 2016 2019 in development, in effect in 2020 Energy Efficiency Standards housed in CEC Title 24, Part 6 Section of code amended by solar requirement

Local Reach Codes - Beyond State Cities can adopt local standards beyond state requirements Referred to as “reach codes” Example reach codes include: Increased energy efficiency Solar requirements EV charging infrastructure All-electric buildings (no natural gas) CEC must approve code before it can be enforced

Reach Code Requirements What is it? Proposed energy standard (ordinance) Is it cost-effectiveness? Findings and analysis Will it increase energy consumption? Statement that it will not increase consumption above code CEQA documents Any findings or documents required pursuant to CEQA (none for rooftop solar)

Reach Codes Beyond 2016 Code Healdsburg Efficiency 2017 Novato Efficiency 2017 Mill Valley Efficiency 2017 Davis Efficiency/Solar 2017 Marin County Efficiency 2017 Fremont Solar/Lighting 2017 San Francisco PV/Solar Thermal 2016 Portola Valley Efficiency 2017 Brisbane Cool Roof/Solar 2017 Lancaster Solar 2017 San Mateo Cool Roofs/Solar 2016 Palo Alto Efficiency/Solar 2016 Santa Monica Efficiency/Solar 2017

Solar Costs Have Declined Steeply Source: LBNL Tracking the Sun, 2017

Additional Savings in New Construction Save 20% in new construction Economies of scale in developments Reduced customer acquisition costs Shared labor/materials Source: LBNL Tracking the Sun, 2017

Solar Mandate Benefits Increased solar access Reduce barriers to solar Satisfy growing demand for clean energy Energy & cost savings for homeowners/tenants Stimulate local economy, create local jobs

Model Solar Ordinance Goal: Reduce barriers to adoption of local solar ordinances Includes: Ordinance language Sizing requirements tailored to city’s climate zone(s) Specifications, exemptions, alternative compliance, etc. Cost-effectiveness study

Reach Code Requirements 1 Outreach to municipalities, introduce model ordinance, explain process 2 Cities modify ordinance if needed/desired 3 Ordinance adoption by City Council 4 City submits application to CEC to amend building code 5 If CEC approves, ordinance goes into effect

2019 Building Code Starting in 2020, rooftop solar will be required on all single family homes and low-rise residential buildings Thanks to work by cities implementing solar reach codes
