1 The Future of the Energy and the Grid for Morongo Basin Peter Brooks Morongo Basin Conservation Association

2 Game Changer #1: California s Energy Future: Climate Bill SB 32 Expanding Renewables and Emission Reduction = 40% below 1990s emissions by 2030 Solar Revolution and Resource Balancing Grid Impacts and equity concerns

3 CA s Energy Future: CAISO Duck-Shaped Curve A consequence of the Solar Revolution Expect Time-of- Use Rates changing in 2018 New Super Peak rates at 4pm to 9pm

4 Local Innovations to Modernize the Grid

5 Modernizing the Hi Desert Grid

6 Spectrum of Options for Morongo Basin Greener / Smart Grid Community Choice

7 Carbon-full: coal, natural gas Large-scale generation Dumb meters No incentives for conservation Greener / Smart Grid Community Choice

8 Greener / Smart Grid Utility-scale storage Smart meters and demand response Electric Vehicles Rooftop and utilityscale solar Energy Efficiency Greener / Smart Grid Community Choice

9 Western Regional Grid AZ Solar CA Solar exchange Helps green other western states grids Could mean more coal/gas-powered electrons in CA grid Large, utility-scale renewables Large-scale transmission lines Potentially threatening small distributed renewables HUGE efficiencies and cost savings Greener / Smart Grid Community Choice

10 SoCal Edison New Programs Green Rate Premium CPUC-mandated Customers can choose renewable energy portfolio for all of your electricity use from local independent companies 50% = $10/month increase to average household 100% = $20/month options Can disenroll anytime Community Renewables Plan Developer SCE Community joint development Greener / Smart Grid Community Choice

11 Community Choice Examples: Sonoma, Marin Benefits Greater control of fuel mix Piggy-back on existing T&D Challenges for Morongo Basin Governance County, JPA Energy source Scheduling, staffing costs Greener / Smart Grid Community Choice

12 Examples: MCAGCC 29 Palms, Anza Borrego Benefits: Complete independence and local control 100% resilient from grid interruption Challenges: Diesel backup power = 500% more expensive and 6x more Greenhouse Gases Depending on reliability issues, may produce MORE GHG. Greener / Smart Grid Community Choice

13 Cost of onsite Solar + Storage < Cost of gridfed power CA around 2031 Greener / Smart Grid Community Choice

14 Challenges of Reliability Standby Charges Departing Load Charges Equity of Impacts to Grid Greener / Smart Grid Community Choice

15 Two Directions of California s Energy Future Integrated Western Grid Interstate Transmission Lines Lowering costs, greener other western states, HUGE efficiencies Tendency towards utility-scale renewables Decentralized Local Grids Renewable, local, resilient Higher Costs Lower penetration and potential inequities 15 years away

16 Conclusion: Immediate Impact for the Hi Desert 1. Consider SCE Options Green Rate Premium Community Solar 2. Potential Threats to the Desert: Monitor Wester Regional Grid expansion Utility-scale solar still likely (e.g DRECP, other NV and AZ developments) 3. Opportunities for the Desert: Embrace the new Time-of-Use Rates Start small: EV Charging Stations More Local Renewables LIKE SMALL HYDROPOWER!
