1. Which path to Choose? Zero Carbon Glendale Project
The Glendale City Council Has a Choice to Make
Which path to Choose?

2. Requirements GWP Stated Requirements Zero Carbon Glendale Project
Existing Plant Does not meet Air Quality or Reliability Needs – Must Go
350 MW Peak Load 1,500,000 MW Hr Annual load 167 MW Average Load
N – 1 – 1 Reliability MW Reserves (???)
GWP Stated Requirements
Zero Carbon Glendale Added Requirement
100% Carbon-Free Energy in Normal Operations By 2030

3. Zero Carbon Glendale Project
Option “Zero” – Carbon-Free Energy by 2030
Reliability Requirements, Peak-Load Reserve Requirements,
And Transition Period (2018 to 2030) Load Requirements
Can be met with no new Gas at Grayson
The Zero Carbon Glendale Plan Includes
Use of Unit #9, Magnolia, the 75 MW LADWP Commitment, Efficiency Increases, and
85MW Hr battery Implementation at Grayson
during the transition period (2018 to 2030)

5. Reliability Zero Carbon Glendale Project
GWP to the Water & Power Commission, 3 April 2018:
“Option 1, 191 MW of Gas and the 50 MW / 200 MW Hr Battery
Can meet all operational, reliability, and economic goals of the Project.”
Option Z, with No New Gas, 221MW Peak
(80 MW firmed) distributed solar generation
And 400 MW Hrs of distributed storage
Can meet all operational, reliability and economic goals of the project.

6. Commission Recommendation

100 MW / 400MW hr
Distributed Battery
Increased Renewables Purchases
64% to 75%
Efficiency Increases
(Estimated 10% of Load)

7. 90-Day Project Schedule Zero Carbon Glendale Project
Do Nothing, GWP Preferred, GWP Option 1,Option Z, or Other ??
The Glendale City Council Must Decide and Get Started

8. 12 – Year Transition to a Carbon-Free Glendale
Zero Carbon Glendale Project
12 – Year Transition to a Carbon-Free Glendale
Years 1 – Installations of Residential Solar with Battery
Installations of Commercial Solar with Battery
Installations of City Solar with Battery
Efficiency Improvements
Year Grayson & Grid Specifications & Design
Years 2 – Grayson Construction
The City Council Can Begin Now by
Funding the Solar Incentives Program at $20 Million per Year
And Urging GWP to Begin Approving Installation of
Grid-Tied Battery Storage Devices like the Tesla Powerwall 2
