Energy Efficiency – CaliforniaEnergy Efficiency – California• Building Standards – Title 24• Appliance Standards – Title 20
~ 23 different appliances since 1977
• Zero Net Energy Buildings• Cool / White Roofs• CPUC’s Energy Efficiency
Strategic Plan
- $3.1 billion over 3 years
- $175 million for Zero Net Energy Buildings

Energy Efficiency – Federal Energy Efficiency – Federal •2007 Energy Bill
- Reauthorized weatherization assistance - Established High-performance Green Building and
Zero Net Energy Building initiatives at DOE- Increased standards for ~12 appliances- Requires 25-30% greater lighting efficiency by
2012 to 2014
• Waxman-Markey Building Standards:
- 30% more efficient in 2012- 50% more efficient in 2016
Increases appliance efficiency standards for lighting, commercial furnaces, other appliances

Renewable Portfolio Standard -
California
• SB 1078 and SB 107 require 20% by 2010
• Current statutes apply to IOUs, ESPs and Aggregators, not POUs
• WREGIS provides tracking system for WECC
• Governor’s Executive Order requires 33% by 2020 and includes POUs
• Implementation at CARB with final rule adopted by July 2010
• SB 1078 and SB 107 require 20% by 2010

RPS - FederalRPS - Federal 26 States have RPS’s, but
currently no federal requirement
Waxman-Markey would require 20% by 2021- would allow portion to be met through energy efficiency- similar definitions of eligible
resources- no federal preemption
ITC and PTC renewed Renewable Tx bill ???

• Federal preemption on fuel economy (CAFÉ)
• Pavley Bill (AB 1493) passed in 2002, requires 30% reduction in GhGs from passenger vehicles by 2020; 12 states want to follow
• Auto companies sued to stop AB 1493• First ever Clean Air Act Waiver denied
by US EPA under Bush Administration• AB 118 Clean Fuels and Technology
~ $100 million/year to invest in clean vehicle fuels/technologies

2007 Energy Bill raised fuel economy standards to 35 MPG by 2020
Requires 4x increase in biofuels
In May, 2009, Presidentreached compromise with CA and Detroit to require 30% reduction in GhGs and 35.5 MPG by 2016
Climate Policy - CaliforniaClimate Policy - California
Climate Solutions Act (AB 32) enacted in 2006
Return to 1990 levels by 2020 (approx. 30% reduction from Business as Usual)
Reduce emissions from electricity sector by ~ 50 MMT (out of 174 MMT)
Governor ‘s Executive Order calls for 80% reduction by 2050

Climate Policy - FederalClimate Policy - Federal EPA proposed rule to regulate GhGs under Clean Air Act
- would apply to largest emitters only
ACES (Waxman-Markey) requires economy-wide emissions reductions of:
- 17% by 2020
- 42% by 2030
- 83% by 2050
- Electricity generation covered in 2012
- Natural gas distribution covered in 2016
- Cost containment from trading, offsets, efficiency
- Preempts state and regional trading programs from 2012 - 2017, but does not prevent states from enacting caps or other reduction measures
