Home Improvement and Beyond January 27th, 2010 Presented at: The California Contractors Exchange Presented by: Steve Galanter Manager of Strategic Planning and Technical Services Energy Efficiency Division
Home Improvement and Beyond • California’s energy policy approach • The benefits of an integrated approach • Issues that will shape our energy future • California’s Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan • What the future holds
California’s Energy Policy Approach • The “Loading Order”… • Energy efficiency, California’s “number one fuel of choice” • Demand response • Renewable sources of power and distributed generation • If needed, clean and efficient fossil-fired generation Source: California Energy Action Plan
Federal legislation, International agreements Federal Programs Executive orders State legislation Standards Integrated resource plans Strategic plans State partnerships “Reach codes” Local partnerships ARRA, GHG, cap and trade Appliance standards One million solar roofs Energy Action Plan AB 32, AB 811, AB 1109, AB 1103 … IOU statewide coordination CPUC working groups Flexible compliance for GHG goals Irvine Great Park Currently over 100 partners Local energy plans, GHG ordinances, green jobs … Expanding Scope and Breadth of DSM Policy Scope Examples International and National State Local
Significant Market Opportunities Exist Energy Savings Demand Reduction Lighting (SF) Lighting (SF) Ind/Motors Ind/Motors Food/Refrig Food/Refrig HVAC (SF)
The needs and benefits of an Integrated Project Approach • A lot of the “low hanging fruit” has been reached • Cost effectiveness is still a driver • Some measure improvements are very cost effective • The least cost effective opportunities may never be realized • Lost opportunities • It maybe a long time before anther purchase decision is made • Multiple “measure” solutions provides higher customer, societal and contractors benefits… right away
What’s In Store For the Next Decade? • The need for “clean” energy will continue • Automated Meter Infrastructure will be implemented • Zero Net Energy homes and businesses will be encouraged • Local generation/ renewable generation will increase • Electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles ARE rolling out • Lighting will be transformed (LED technology) • Regional HVAC will be pushed
California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan • Sets forth a roadmap through 2020 and beyond • Articulates a long-term vision and goals for each economic sector • Identifies specific near-term, mid-term and long-term strategies
What is The Plan? Incorporates the “Big Bold*” Strategies • All new residential construction in California will be zero net energy by 2020 • All new commercial construction in California will be zero net energy by 2030 • Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) will be transformed to ensure that its energy performance for California's climate is optimal; and • All eligible low-income customers will have a meaningful opportunity to participate in LIEE program and will be provided all cost effective energy efficiency measures in their residences by 2020 *Note: Established by CPUC Decision 07-12-051
California’s Response to Global Warming: Assembly Bill 32 • AB 32 requires the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to: • By 2020 reduce CO2 to 1990 levels. • Establish mandatory GHG reporting system. • Encourage voluntary actions.
Fuel Mix Comparison: SCE, California and U.S. Other Large Hydroelectric Coal Renewables Nuclear Natural Gas Low-GHG Resources 39% 42% 28% Sources: * SCE’s 2005 Power Content Label ** CEC’s “Net System Power: A Small Share of California’s Power Mix in 2005” report, April 2006 *** Energy Information Administration’s Electric Power Annual, November 2005 Table 1.1 12
The Smart Meter • SCE will invest $1.2 billion equipping every household and small business we serve with a, ‘smart,’ meter • Among the benefits of Edison SmartConnect™ will be time-of-use pricing options • Such options could reduce peak demand by as much as 1,000 megawatts • A smarter grid will also improve basic services. New technologies will enable faster outage response remote activation for new customer’s service
Demand Response: Programmable Communicating Thermostats and Pool Pump Load Control
In Conclusion… • Opportunities abound • Challenges will be many • Technology innovation • Buildings • Transportation • Policy challenges • Increased cost of energy • California is Leading the Way
