7 Carbon Free Water by 2015 Local, Leaner, Cheaper, Greener California Climate Action Planning Conference SLO Dale Roberts Energy Resources Group Principal Engineer Dale.Roberts@scwa.ca.gov

8 The Sonoma County Water Agency Core Business Functions: Wholesale water supplier to over 600,000 people Sonoma & Marin Counties Flood Control Sanitation Power Generation/Renewable Energy Development Our Approach to Business: Integrated Resource Management Partnerships Innovation

9 Sonoma County Water Agency Working Today for Water Tomorrow Progressive Climate Goals Energy Hog Diverse Energy Resources Energy Policy Carbon Free Water 2015 Regional Collaboration on Energy Projects

10 Water Agency Energy Policy Carbon Free Water Measurable Projects of Regional Benefit Floating Solar; CCA

11 Carbon Free Water Approach Conservation How much to pump o Delivered 21% less since 2006 Efficiency How to pump o Improved efficiency by 7% since 2006 Use renewable energy How to power pumps o All power from renewable sources

12 Water Conservation Water Conservation Programs Low water use landscaping promotion Rebates Direct install programs for low water fixtures Multimedia advertising Water Education Programs

13 Historical Data Reduced water deliveries of 21% Improved system efficiency by 7% 2006: 2,426 kwh/mg of electricity for water delivered 2014: 2,247 kwh/mg of electricity for water delivered

14 Purchased Electricity Power and Water Resources Pooling Authority: 95% PG&E/SCP: 5% Total kwh [CATEGORY NAME] 95% Other Transmission 3.1% Sonoma Valley Sanitation [PERCENTAGE] Other Sanitation 5.8% Building Facilities 1.6% PG&E/SCP 5% [CATEGORY NAME] Collector Wells [PERCENTAGE] Booster pumps 15.1% PWRPA has allowed us to control our own power sources, AND saves over 15% on power costs

15 Electricity Sources Other hydro from Sierra Nevadas

16 2015 Power Content 100% of energy consumption demands are met through carbon free sources*! 93% Local! PWRPA Large Hydro 7% PG&E/SCP 5% SCWA PV 6% PWRPA Warm Springs Dam 27% PWRPA Landfill Gas* 55% 2015 Power Content * While landfill gas combustion is not a source of CO 2 emissions for the Agency, it is a source of GHG emissions from CH 4 and N 2 O and is accounted for as CO 2e in our GHG Inventory

17 Electricity Emissions (metric tons)

18 Carbon Free Water A Successful Program Over 21,000 metric tons reduced Equivalent to 4,600 passenger vehicles off the road; or Electricity supplied to 3,000 homes annually

19 Take-Aways Goal set and supported from the top Measurement, tracking, 3rd party verification Accountability to the public Employ staff with key skills, knowledge, and passion Regulatory hurdles R&D for feasibility Priority Setting Resource Availability Constructability Cost Reliability Demand Matching Use private industry for real solutions & prices Don t depend on research Can be done cost effectively with innovative approaches

21 Energy Roadmap Program California Climate Action Planning Conference August 14, 2015

22 San Diego Region Orange County Riverside County Oceanside Carlsbad Vista San Marcos Escondido Encinitas Solana Beach Del Mar Poway County of San Diego Imperial County Coronado Imperial Beach San Diego Santee La Mesa El Cajon Lemon Grove National City Chula Vista San Diego 22 MEXICO

23 Energy Roadmap Program SDG&E Local Government Partnership since 2010 Focus on 16 non-lgp cities Energy savings in government operations Long-term communitywide energy savings Collaboration and best practice sharing 23

24 Energy Engineering Technology-neutral energy assessments 16 cities Over 200 facilities Savings potential 1.33 MW 7.7 million kwh Average simple payback of 2.25 years Project implementation Product specs, contractor selection, financing 24

25 Additional Facility Services Utility rate analysis Streetlights Verify rates Reconcile inventories EnergyStar Certification 25

26 Subregional Collaboration Collaboration and information sharing among local governments Facilitate similar collaborations in other subregions in the future 26

27 Additional Resources Trainings for Municipal Staff Community Outreach Recognition Opportunities SDG&E Emerging Cities Transportation Programs: icommute/tdm Electric Vehicle/Alternative Fuels Planning 27

28 San Diego Regional Energy Partnership Collaborative partnership among SDG&E and five LGPs in San Diego region 2015 activities include: Coordination with real estate community Regional energy mapping Community outreach and Home Energy Coach Zero Net Energy Roadmap implementation Regional Green Business 28

29 Examples from Local Cities City of Vista Roadmap identified new outdoor lighting rate Rate change saves $99,600 annually Case Study highlighting success 29

30 Examples from Local Cities City of National City South Bay Energy Action Collaborative Community Outreach PACE Adoption Energy Star at City Hall Beacon Award

31 Examples from Local Cities National City Green Business Green business program expansion Pilot Program: Energy/Water audits for businesses 31

32 Looking Forward How to get more projects done? Ways to monitor CAP implementation? Collaborating on green business? Resources beyond LGP funding? 32

33 Lessons Learned Economies of scale with contractors Persistence with retrofit projects Constant communication Coordination with utility on data Navigating resources can be overwhelming Importance of recognition Opportunities for collaboration 33

35 Water & Energy Programs in Action August 14, 2015 Joshua Brock Director of Community Development Renovate America, HERO Program 2015 Renovate America, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 35

36 Why Are We Here?... $40+ billion per year in California spent on electricity, natural gas and water (EIA) Barriers of adopting efficiency programs exist (per 2009 McKinsey Report) Low participation in energy and water conservation programs Conventional financing does not address barriers (HERO does) Case In Point: Current Water Crisis Mandatory water restrictions of 25% (different for each city) Community issue: Long-term impact on value/quality of life Individual issue: What can I do? HERO as a potential answer individual choice voluntary assessment 2015 Renovate America, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 36

37 Quick PACE Refresher Voluntary Assessment on Property (at no cost to Municipalities) 100% financing payments made through Property Tax Bill Broader access as more people qualify Implemented at local level with local control over 400 municipalities in California participate Supported by CAEATFA s Loan Loss Reserve Program in California 2015 Renovate America, Inc.
