22 Focusing the 2012 Energy Strategy Buildings Efficiency Transportation Efficiency Distributed Energy jobs slide 22

23 Distributed Energy district heat distributed generation CHP slide 23

24 Transportation Efficiency Nearly half of primary energy consumed Over 60% of annual statewide energy expenditures (much of which leaves the state economy) Over 44% of statewide GHG emissions slide 24 Source: Washington State Energy Office 2011 Biennial Report W0018 (expenditures); Washington State Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory S0027 (GHG emissions).

25 Transportation Efficiency Builds on successful heritage of efficiency Leverages our strengths in electricity generation Builds on themes from CELC report (biofuels; advanced vehicle opportunities) Connects to WSDOT Moving Washington and Sustainable Transportation efforts Has a lot of room for analysis, learning, and discovery of opportunities slide 25

26 slide Energy Strategy Recommendations

27 Near-term recommendations: transportation vehicles & fuels electric vehicle support RFS diesel engine fuel efficiency improvements travel efficiency Commute Trip Reduction program expansion smart growth and transportation planning transportation systems management Regional Mobility Grants pricing electric vehicle mileage pricing pilot car sharing and mileage based insurance slide 27

28 Near-term recommendations: buildings performance & transparency non-residential disclosure residential disclosure marketing and quality assurance funding & financing meter-based financing energy efficient property conversions low income & rental housing minimum standards for rental housing sustaining investment in lowincome weatherization programs prevailing wage class for weatherization slide 28

29 Near-term recommendations: distributed energy facilitating DE development interconnection standards net metering policies streamlined permitting for distributed energy financial incentives long-term options only slide 29

30 Long-term policy options: transportation vehicles & fuels revenue neutral feebate low carbon fuel standard advanced aviation fuels improvements to railroads travel efficiency comprehensive trip reduction program energy efficient transportation choices pricing emerging pricing methods - congestion pricing - mileage pricing - cordon pricing 6 carbon pricing slide 30

31 Long-term policy options: distributed energy facilitating DE development DE-compliant power purchase agreements distributed energy in I-937 (contingent on I-937 revision) streamlined permitting for distributed energy financial incentives rationalize DE incentives - renewables sales tax - production incentives - biomass incentives - distributed energy credit in I-937 (contingent on I-937 revision) 6 carbon pricing slide 31
