10 PG&E s Joint Proposal for Diablo Canyon Power Plant PG&E, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1245, Coalition of California Utility Employees, Friends of the Earth, Natural Resources Defense Council, Environment California, and Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility have developed a joint proposal to phase out PG&E s Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) by 2025 and replace it with energy efficiency, renewable energy and other GHG-free resources. The proposal includes: 1. Specific commitments to procure energy efficiency and renewables 2. Commitment to 55 percent renewable generation in 2031, compared to state target of 50 percent 3. Flexibility for procuring additional GHG-free resources as needed over the period, in consultation with many parties and oversight of California authorities MJB&A was retained by the parties to the joint proposal to facilitate development of this report and related documents. 10

20 Zero Emission Vehicle MOU In October 2013, eight state Governors signed a MOU committing to coordinated action to implement their ZEV programs. Collectively, these states are committed to having at least 3.3 million ZEVs operating on their roadways by To reach this goal, annual electric vehicle sales over the next ten years would have to increase by 400% or more compared to 2014, approaching 15% of all new vehicle sales. ZEVs include pure battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Source: California Air Resources Board 20

Massachusetts recently enacted legislation which requires utilities to enter into long-term contracts to procure 1,600 megawatts of offshore wind power by 2027 and 1,200 megawatts of hydropower or other renewable resources, such as landbased wind or solar, by
26 State Energy Efficiency Programs Many of the northeast states have leading energy efficiency goals and programs that rank in the top ten in the country. States prioritize energy efficiency for numerous reasons including CO 2 and criteria air pollutant emission reductions, reduced customer energy bills, increased demand for new products and services generating jobs, and broader economic benefits. Massachusetts' Energy Efficiency Resource Standard is one of the most ambitious fully-funded state savings targets in the country. Incremental electric savings targets ramp up from 2.6% in 2015 to 2.95% of annual sales in Incremental natural gas savings will increase from about 1.1% in 2015 to 1.25% of retail sales in State ACEEE State Ranking Connecticut #6 Massachusetts #1 Maine #14 New Hampshire #20 New Jersey #21 New York #9 Pennsylvania #17 Rhode Island #4 Vermont #3 26
27 Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative RGGI is a regional market-based trading system to reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from the electric sector in nine mid-atlantic and northeast states. The RGGI states have reduced CO 2 emissions of covered sources by 48% from 2001 levels due to a combination of factors including the recession, complementary energy and environmental programs, and fuel switching in response lower natural gas prices. The vast majority of CO 2 allowances are auctioned, generating more than $2.58 billion dollars cumulatively for reinvestment in energy efficiency, renewable energy, direct bill assistance, and GHG abatement programs. The RGGI states are actively negotiating the next phase of the program including further emissions reductions post 2020 of between 2.5-5% annually.
