2. WHAT IS CLEAN ENERGY DC? WHAT IT IS WHAT IT IS NOT
The District’s New Climate and Energy Plan
Roadmap for achieving the SustainableDC climate & energy targets
Companion to Climate Ready DC
Both a visionary and action-oriented plan
Beginning of a conversation
WHAT IT IS NOT
Not a detailed business or economic plan
Not a collection of bylaws
Not a measure-driven engineering plan
Not “shovel-ready”

3. DC CLIMATE AND ENERGY GOALS
Clean Energy DC is the District’s First Quantified Roadmap to meet Sustainable DC’s Climate and Energy Goals
Greenhouse Gas Goal was prioritized

4. ENERGY USE AND EMISSIONS IN DC
PROPORTION OF GHG EMISSIONS BY SOURCE
MODELED PROPORTION OF GHG EMISSIONS BY SECTOR

5. HOW TO TRANSFORM AN ENERGY SYSTEM
The CEP has been developed with over 15 years of experience and research on market transformation.
Everyone has an opinion how best to transform a market. It always includes one of these things. The truth is it needs the alignment of all of these things in order to happen.
Achieving the District’s 2032 goals requires a comprehensive market transformation.

7. CLEAN ENERGY DC APPROACH
(1) BUILDINGS
New Construction
Existing Buildings
cross-cutting building actions
(2) ENERGY SUPPLY SYSTEM
Clean & renewable energy supply
Electricity system modernization
(3) TRANSPORTATION
Electric vehicle readiness & adoption

8. ESTIMATED GHG SAVINGS

9. NEW CONSTRUCTION
Establish Pathway to Net-Zero Energy Building Codes Between 2020 and 2026
Provide Net-Zero Energy Incentive Package
Issue Net-Zero Energy Innovation Challenge To The Federal Government

10. EXISTING BUILDINGS Increase Access to Building Energy Performance Data
Increase DCSEU Flexibility
Coordinate District-wide Energy Retrofit Program
Coordinate Efficiency and Finance Programs
Lead by Example
Implement Building Energy Performance Standard
Drive Efficiency at Tenant Build-out
Encourage Green Leases
Develop Virtual Energy Audit Program

11. CROSS CUTTING BUILDING ACTIONS
18 SUPPORTING ACTIONS IN FOUR AREAS:
Increasing and Improving Access to Funding
Policy and Program Recommendations
Education and Training
Leadership and Catalyzing Change

12. ENERGY SUPPLY RENEWABLE ENERGY OUTSIDE DC Set 100% RPS Target For 2050
Provide Standard Offer Service through a Long-Term Power Purchase Agreement
Set GHG Targets For Electricity Supply
RENEWABLE ENERGY WITHIN DC
Implement Solar Proliferation Strategy and develop centralized solar platform
Adopt Solar Energy Code Requirements
THERMAL ENERGY & MICROGRIDS
Undertake Thermal Decarbonization Study
Develop Neighborhood-Scale Energy Strategy

13. ELECTRICITY SYSTEM MODERNIZATION
11 ACTIONS IN FOUR AREAS:
Planning and Coordination
Analysis of the Electricity System Needs and Capabilities
Immediate No Regrets Actions
Proof of Concept Projects

14. TRANSPORTATION Electric Vehicle readiness EV-Ready Building Code
EV-Ready Parking Lot Requirement
Electric Vehicle Adoption
Implement an EV Bulk Buy Program
EV Showcase and Purchase Center
Provide EV Purchase Incentive
Pursue an EV-Only Car Share Fleet
transportation demand management & mode-shifting actions from MOVE DC
The key issue here is that while EV’s form a small portion of total savings today they are critical to achieving 2050 targets. EV’s are also an opportunity to make significant gains over the conservative estimates in the model.

15. AREAS NOT YET ADDRESSED
Waste
Urban Heat Island
Methane Leakage
Equity
Economic Development
Interagency Collaboration

16. NEXT STEPS
Public engagement will continue throughout the rest of Fiscal Year 2017
Final Draft to be published in early 2018
Intended to serve as living document
Will be closely coordinated with Climate Ready DC and other plans
