4 STRATEGY EE.1 - Leverage Existing Programs, Rebates, and Incentives to Improve Efficiency of Existing Buildings Supporting Data Leverage Existing Programs, Rebates, and Incentives to Improve Efficiency of Existing Buildings Quantification assumes the actions under strategy, in conjunction with the financing tools in EE.2, will enable the City improve the energy efficiency of all (existing) buildings by 50% by 2030 (consistent with SB 350 goal), and an interim result of 15% efficiency performance by Strategy E3 accounts for Title 24 impact on new construction. Notes: RE strategies account for impact of renewable on future sales after accounting for efficiency gains). Energy savings are "negawatts" that reduce emissions from the BAU curve (Not affected by change in utility EF; Renewable strategy RE2 accounts for utility energy sales after efficiency gains PG&E Green Communities, Energy, Savings ; MCE Integrated Resource Plan; MCE Implementation Plan. From MCE's 2015 Integrated Resource Plan: MCE has set a goal to reduce annual energy and capacity requirements by 2% through energy efficiency and an additional 5% through demand response programs.

5 STRATEGY EE.2 - Leverage Existing Funding Programs and Financing Tools Third party funding programs and financing tools Reductions accounted for in EE1: energy savings attributed to third party energy conservation programs in 2020 and HERO Residential PACE was rolled out in Richmond in the summer of 2015; For illustration of third party program effectiveness, future participation and energy savings were estimated by averaging participation and savings data for Walnut Creek, Brentwood, Antioch, and Concord which are also located in Contra Costa County (includes kwh reduced through solar photovoltaics). Data for historic program participation and energy savings was provided by individual program administrators.

MCE's 2015 Integrated Resource Plan MCE, Understanding MCE GHG Emissions Factor, MCE, Revised Implemenatation Plan, correspondance with Alice Stover from MCE, dated MCE, Integrated Resource Plan, California Climate Action Registry The Climate Registry GHG Emission Factors: Guidance for PG&E Customers, November 2015 RPS Quarterly Report; Q Assumptions and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Quantification Table RE.2-1 GHG Reductions From Increasing Renewables in Utility Portfolio Utility Year kwh sales RPS Carbon Free EF (lbs/kwh) PG&E MCE Direct Acess Total By 2030, by partnering with the City, MCE will be supplying approximately 87% of the City's purchased electricity from sources that MCE is committing to be 95% zero carbon (by 2025), while PG&E will be supplying electricity the remainder from sources that are at least 50% zero carbon to be in compliance with the state RPS. Quantifies the GHG emissions difference in supplying electricity with a 2012 carbon content with the lower carbon electricity expected in MCE's and PG&E's supply for the horizon years 2020 and 2030 due to higher percentages of renewables. Note that we are accounting for impact of renewables on future sales after accounting for efficiency gains; annual electricity sales go down between 2020 and 2030 as the effect of efficiency measures outpaces growth of energy use.

9 STRATEGY RE.3 - Promote Switching From Natural Gas to Clean Electricity Assumptions Table RE.3-1 Projected Energy Savings from Residential Electrification Quantifies the impact of converting residential and commercial natural gas systems to electric systems powered by renewable energy or solar thermal systems. Assumes reductions are not double-counted in EE1 (50% energy efficiency improvement in buildings by 2030) as this strategy is about fuel switching, not efficiency. Residential: assumes 6.3 percent of existing homes replace natural gas water heaters each year, and 57% of replacements are electric models, consistent with NEEA Report. Commercial: assumes 6 percent of total natural gas use is electrified by 2020, and 13% by 2030, supporting a study by Wei et al that concludes that by 2050 electrification of 39 percent of commercial and industrial gas use is needed to meet the State's 2050 GHG reduction target.

11 O STRATEGIES TL7: Promote Low-Carbon Vehicles and Fuels - effective VMT reduction calculations Richmond is committed to supporting the proliferation of plug-in electric vehicles(pevs) and other zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs), and is actively seeking funding to expand programs for supporting and expanding PEV infrastructure, and incenting the purchase and and sharing of PEVs. Potential sources of funding inlcude the Chevron ECIA and CEC grants. The EMFAC2014 model accounts for the GHG emissions standards in future years that will reduce emissions as cleaner vehicles increase their penetration rates into the fleet. The Pavley standard determines the fleet average fuel economy of vehicles sold in California. The penetration of ZEV vehicles is one of many ways in which these standards may be met. Assumptions of ZEV penetration are built in to EMFAC 2014 at the county level. Currently the assumption in EMFAC is that ZEV sales as percent of total vehicles sold remain constant after Quantifcation for this measure is based on the assumption that EV sales continue to accellerate after 2025 esitmates built into EMFAC, but assumes the EV population increase rate in Contra Costa County continues through 2030, and in Richmond the EV population is 25% higher than the County average by On March 23, 2012, Governor Brown issued Executive Order B to encourage ZEVs in California and set a long term goal of reaching 1.5 million ZEVs on California s roadways by The Executive Order established milestones for three periods: 2015, 2020, and Infrastructure goals include by 2015, California s major metropolitan areas will be able to accommodate ZEVs through infrastructure plans; by 2020, California s ZEV infrastructure will be able to support up to 1 million vehicles; and by 2025, 1.5 million ZEVs will be on California s roadways with easy access to infrastructure. The metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, San Diego region, and the San Francisco Bay Area lead the State in PEV sales.

15 STRATEGY GB.5 - Reduce Emissions from Goods Movement and Assumptions and GHG Reduction Quantifiation Year Year MT CO2e Percent Notes Reduce Port Emissions Reduces industrial emissions, beyond those emissions reduced by other measures in the CAP. This measure accounts for reductions in carbon emissions by 2020 estimated for the Port of Richmond Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), and assumes the Port will reduce its emissions to 20 percent by 2030, consistent with similar efforts by Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. Port of Richmond Clean Air Action Plan (2010), Port of Long Beach Emissions Inventory (2014), and Port of Long Beach Emissions Inventory (2014) ,573 - Baseline Emissions (BAU) ,044 9% ,315 20% = Emissions reduced from implementation of CAAP (Port of Richmond Clean Air Action Plan (2010) Table 5, Page 20. Assumes scenario with "implementation of 0.1 [or 0.5] percent sulfur fuel requriements along with [vessel speed reduction] program and truck program.") = Emissions reduced from continued implementation of CAAP. Assumes Port of Richmond achieves up to 20 percent reduction in emissions, or double the estimated emissions savings, similar to that achieved by the Port of Long Beach by 2014 (see Emissions Factcard and Emissions Inventory 2014) and the Port of Los Angeles [see Port of Los Angeles Air Emissions Inventory (2010) Table ES.6 on page ES-11].
