3 Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) Established by CPUC in 2012 to fund investments to advance clean energy technologies and approaches for the benefit of investor-owned utility electricity ratepayers. The Energy Commission administers approximately $130 million per year. EPIC uses an energy innovation pipeline approach to creating new energy solutions, fostering regional innovation, and bringing clean energy ideas to the marketplace 3

4 State Energy Policy Drives Energy RD&D Investments 63,000 GWh/year Zero Net Energy Residential Buildings Goal Zero Net Energy Commercial Buildings Goal Double Energy Savings in Existing Buildings Goal Energy Efficiency % RPS Goal 12 GW DG Goal 8 GW Utility-Scale Goal 50% Renewables Goal Renewable Energy 10% Light- Duty State Vehicles be ZEV 25% of Light- Duty State Vehicles be ZEV Over 1.5 million ZEVs on California Roadways Goal 50% Reduction in Petroleum Goal Transportation Energy Reduce GHG Emissions to 1990 Level (AB 32) Represents 30% Reduction from Projected GHG Emissions Reduce GHG Emissions by 40% Below 1990 Reduce GHG Emissions 80% Below 1990 Levels GHG 2 4

8 Distributed Energy Resources (DER) CA s energy goals including adding ~ 15 GW of DER into the electric system High penetrafon DER problemafc on distribufon grids designed for centralized, not highly variable, one- way energy flow Need to ensure implementafon of DER results in cost effecfve improvements to grid reliability, stability and efficiency MiFgate variable energy sources (forecasfng, flexible generafon) Storage for over and under- generafon Increase mulfple component inter- communicafon capabilifes (operafons management, Advanced Metering Infrastructure, customer choices) Community microgrid resiliency Vehicle to grid (smart charging and discharging) Technological advances to increase operafonal efficiency, reduce costs 8

9 Grid Reliability and Community Resiliency Community scale generation and community wide strategies that can provide load shifting or peak load reduction for communities to minimize or control demand fluctuations. Community is defined as A group of customer loads, or a single large customer load, with a historic yearly demand of no less than 65,000 kwh, approximately the demand of 10 average California residential customer loads Microgrids strategies at scale and in environments that reflect real world conditions to enable appraisal of operations, performance, and risks. Low Carbon-Based Microgrids for Critical Facilities High-Penetration, Renewable-Based Microgrids 9

10 College of San Mateo Internet of Energy (IoEn) Project Development of a networked energy system, integrating solar PV, electrical storage, and power electronics in an advanced module with College of San Mateo (CSM) grid control services. Internet of Energy describes the seamless operation of components on the CSM grid. Demand Charge Reduction Demand Response PV Firming Power Quality Prospect Silicon Valley (Bay Area Climate Collaborative), GELI, EPIC Funding: $2,999,601 Match Funding: $2,315,960 10

11 City of Fremont Fire Station Microgrids Demonstrate low-carbon based microgrids at three fire stations in the City of Fremont to demonstrate increased electrical infrastructure resiliency, reduce CO2 emissions and optimize energy use to enable energy-smart critical facilities. 11

12 Advanced Energy Communities Building Blocks of Renewable- based Energy Secure Communities (RESCO) Wind Solar PV Energy Efficiency Demand Response Biomass Biogas Renewable Energy Heating & Cooling Community Geothermal Low-impact small hydro Smart Grid Energy Storage Minimize the need for new energy infrastructure costs such as transmission/distribution upgrades. Provide energy savings by achieving and maintaining zero net energy community status Support grid reliability and resiliency by incorporating technologies such as energy storage. Provide easier grid integration from a CPUC and CAISO perspective. Can be replicated and scaled-up to further drive down costs. Are financially attractive from a market standpoint. Provide access for all electric ratepayers within the community. Align with other state energy and environmental policy goals at the community level 12

13 Oakland EcoBlock- A ZNE, Low Water Use Retrofit Neighborhood Demonstration Project Test the hypothesis that retrofitting on the block-scale can be more efficient and costeffective than the individual house-scale Advance research and development of the EcoBlock integrated system concept into a shovel-ready demonstration and field testing Schematic of UC Berkeley Oakland EcoBlock electricity production, distribution, and storage systems EPIC Funding: $1,500,000 Match Funding: $769,846 Design and blueprint a pilot system that demonstrates a highly-efficient, affordable neighborhood block-scale energy, EV charging, water, and wastewater treatment platform 13

14 Clean Coalition- Peninsula Advanced Energy Community Incentivize and accelerate the planning, approval, financing, and deployment of Advanced Energy Communities Schematic of a solar emergency micro grid to provide backup to a critical facility EPIC Funding: $1,319,003 Match Funding: $330,000 Utilize ZNE, efficiency, local renewables, energy storage, and other DER to reduce 25 MW of peak energy across San Mateo County to: Strengthen the grid Reduce use of natural gas Minimize need for new energy infrastructure Create a model project that can be replicated throughout the state 14
