1 Emerging Renewables Program Solar Conference North State Renewable Energy Chico, CA March 10, 2005 BILL BLACKBURN Lead, Emerging Renewables Program California Energy Commission

2 Today’s Talk To Cover Today: Emerging Renewables Program Overview Update Solar Schools Performance-Based Incentive Program (PBI) Problem Areas Future Directions

3 Program Overview Renewable Energy Program New Renewable Facilities Program Accelerate the addition of new renewable capacity to CA’s electric generation system Existing Renewable Facilities Program Encourage economic viability of existing renewable projects Emerging Renewables Program

4 Goal is to accelerate cost reduction and market acceptance through high volume production of emerging renewable technologies Provides rebates for purchasing & installing distributed generation renewable systems Reduces the up-front costs for customers Focuses on grid-connected systems designed to meet on-site load

5 ERP Eligible Technologies Small Wind Fuel Cell Thermal Electric Solar PV

6 Emerging Renewables Program Solar PV, is by far the most common type of application we receive in the ERP

7 New Guidebook Highlights New Guidebook (4 th Ed.) was approved January 19, 2005, and can be ordered from our call center or downloaded from web Highlights: Reservation Request Form (R1) changed Extensions no longer be available for new applications after 1/19/05 Simplified extensions for previous applications Seller registration form (R4) has changed

8 New Guidebook Highlights Sellers still required to re-register by March 31 each year An inverter test protocol has been adopted and the inverter ratings must be provided by 4/1/05 with new data Applicants can now cancel and reapply during the reservation period if reapplying for a lower rebate level The Pilot Performance-Based Incentive (PBI) Program has been added and related new forms

9 No funding Nov ’02 through Feb ‘03 Applicants allowed to reapply for higher rebate ERP Rebates Requested ERP Update

10 No funding Nov ’02 through Feb ‘03 Energy Crisis Note: Excludes Solar Schools Program applications. Demand over $45 million at $3.00/Watt ERP Rebate Level & Demand ERP Update

11 Prices, PV Installed Retrofits Includes all applications based on the date the application was received (1 to10 kW between $3 and $15 per Watt). Excludes applications for housing developments, affordable housing rebates, and Solar Schools Program. Rebate Level ERP Update

12 Systems Installed - ERP YearNumber MW Amount (mil.) $ $ $ , $ , $ , $ , $69.4 Grand Total 11, $180.3 ERP Update

13 Systems Installed - ERP YearNumber MW Amount (mil.) 2005 (so far) $8.9 _____________________________________________________________ New Total 12, $189.3 ERP Update

14 Solar Schools Program 2004 SSP launched May 2004 $4.5 million in funding, evenly split from AG Alternative Energy Retrofit Account funds and the ERP For eligible K-12 public and charter schools within the four utility areas: PG&E, SCE, SDG&E and Bear Valley Electric. $6.40/Watt rebate level (twice ERP rebate at the time)

15 Solar Schools Program Less than 30 kW; need to provide school board resolution, proof of energy efficiency measures as established by CEC and agreement to set up a curriculum tie-in about solar energy and energy conservation. 60 districts applied; 30 were awarded totaling 703 KW Fully subscribed before June 30, 2004 Most schools located in PG&E territory, six from SCE, two from SDG&E

16 Performance-Based Incentive PBI Highlights: Began January 19, 2005 Program included in new Guidebook (4 th Edition) Solar systems only, any size Pilot, three year program $10 million budget Quarterly payments of $.50/kWh produced Can not combine with other programs (e.g., ERP or SGIP)

17 Problem Areas 50% of applications incomplete or with errors Service address on utility bill not provided Equipment different on R1 form than in supporting documents Unclear equipment listed Unsigned documents No performance meter identified Companies without contractor’s license charging for labor Have no proof of customer payments to contractor….results in lower self install rebate

18 Reservation Process Turn in: Reservation application form (signed R1 form) Recent utility bill Copy of agreement with installer and purchaser Payee data record (STD 204) If not previously paid by CEC

19 Future of ERP Funding, we have $71 mil. may run out around late 2005 (plus $10 mil. for PBI) Will return applications that have errors or incomplete Moving to “ramp up” whole program We would like to hear from you with suggestions on how to best manage a much larger program
