  5. Staff Report on California Energy Outlook, AB 32, Executive Orders S-3-05 and 12-04, Board of Governors Energy and Sustainability Policy 3.1. Draft Climate Action Plan – KWHSeptember 30, 2008

  6. AB 32-California Global Warming Solutions Act-2006 Executive Summary-California Air Resources Board Cut green house gas (GHG) emissions by 30% less than BAU 2020 levels or 10% less than today. Reduce to 1990 levels by 2020. Reduce from 14 tons CO2 to 10 tons CO2 per person by 2020. Need to cut by 80% from today to stabilize GHG effects by 2050. Includes cap and trade directives that will establish and certify Renewable Energy Credits (REC’s).

  7. Executive Order S-3-05 Mandates an eighty percent (80%) reduction in GHG by 2050. Executive Order S-12-04 State agencies will reduce electrical consumption during stage 1 power events. UC/CSU/CCC’s are asked to participate. Board of Governors January 14-15, 2008 Energy and Sustainability Policy 3.1 Establishes the following goals: • Reduce energy use by 15% by 2011/12 using 2001/02 as a baseline. • Exceed Title 24 Energy Standards by 15% for new construction. • Exceed Title 24 Energy Standards by 10% for renovations. • Increase self generation by 50% by 2014. • Procure 20% of electricity from renewable sources by 2010. • Procure 40% of electricity from renewable sources by 2014. • Designate an Energy Manager for each campus. • Develop energy plans. • LEED certify or equivalent all new construction. • Capital Outlay support increases in funding of 2% for new construction and 3% for renovations.

  8. Holland * Knight Environment Alert - Current Status of Climate Change Under CEQA U.S. Supreme Court April 2007, Massachusetts vs EPA ‘Environmental assessments must include global warming analyses.’ As of April 2008, the California Attorney General and environmental groups weighed in on and challenged 14 major project decisions based on lack of GHG-CO2 analysis. Challenges impacted projects on transportation, new development, large scale planning, general and city plans. Settlement included doing a GHG inventory and commitment to reduce and financial considerations. A.G. vs Conoco Phillips: Challenge to a refinery upgrade netted $10 million for carbon emissions offsets, reforestation and wetlands. S.B. 97 Codifies California Attorney general CEQA and GHG reviews.

  9. PG&E (as of August 1, 2008) Electrical rates have increased 6% per year since 2002. Energy prices are increasing across the nation. Market experts are predicting continued upward pressure on natural gas prices across the nation, which can cause natural gas bills to increase, and can drive up the cost of electricity. PG&E’s electric rates are currently forecasted to increase by about 4.4% on October 1, 2008, and by about another 11% on January 1, 2009.* Examples of utility markets proposed and enacted rate increases across the U.S. Ø       Xcel                            +25% Ø       Appalachian Power                     +25% Ø       Potomac Edison                  +29% Ø       Public Service of Oklahoma        +25% Ø       Con Edison                      +18%   Ø       Dominion Virginia Power            +18% Ø        Palo Alto                              +14%*  

  10. PE Consulting, 2008 Forecast on Rate Escalation in California- May 19, 2008 Natural Gas increased 22% per year over the last twenty years. Electrical costs increased 4.5% per year over the last twenty years. Electrical costs will increase 3-4% faster per year for an 8% or higher annual cost increase for the foreseeable future. Drivers to the increases in coming years are: Population increases AB 32 and Environmental Regulations in California Global energy demand increases Geo-politics China/India Industrial revolution AB 32 California ‘Global Warming Solutions Act’-2006: Utilities will reduce emissions to 25% below 1990 levels by 2015. Utilities will reduce emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.

  11. The Outlook for Energy-A View to 2030- ExxonMobile November 2007 Total world energy demand to grow by 40% by 2030. Even with aggressive achievements in technology: • Ten fold increase in solar each year, • Double efficiency of vehicles, • Start up of 120 nuclear plants, • Cellulosic ethanol development, • Bio-fuels production grows 8% each year, • Reduction of coal by 40%, • IGGC-Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle, in-ground CO2 storage for coal, • Decrease energy intensity by 1.6% per GDP each year (60% increase in efficiency), Global Energy Demand Grows 1.2% each year. MBDOE grows 1.3% each year through 2030. Fossil fuel consumption increases 80% by 2030. Oil and gas increases 60% by 2030. Globale CO2 emissions double by 2030.

  12. President’s Climate Commitment Butte-Glenn Community College District “Goal to Be Neutral By 2015”

  13. Main Campus Climate Action Plan for Electricity YEAR Project 2008/09 Scheduling and Set points - "68/78" *Estimated 15% reduction in overall usage 2008/09 Solar Phase II - 958 kWdc *Estimated annual production - 1.341 MkWh 2009/10 MBCx - retro-commissioning project implementation *Estimated 10% annual energy savings 2009/10 Lighting I - C.E.C. proposal implementation *T12>T8, H.I.D. retrofit, reduction of .285 MkWh 2010/11 Lighting II - L.E.D. conversion campus wide *Estimate a 20% reduction of campus lighting electricity usage utilizing fixtures currently being developed for market introduction in 2010. Major selling point for L.E.D. lighting will be reduced life cycle cost over fluorescent

  14. Solar Phase IICriteria for Future Potential Projects The criteria set forth for each potential project was: • The total maximum annual payment for both the cost of the solar installation and any residual utility cost must not exceed current annual cost electricity for each meter. • The annual payment for the solar project remains fixed with no escalators attached. • The payment must result in ownership of the system by the District. • The payment period must not exceed 20 years. • All meters need to be analyzed. • The proposals must include a viable financial partner and contractual methodology. • The contractor and contractual methodology must demonstrate a successful track record.

  15. Business as Usual (BAU) Costs 30 Year Costs Business As Usual Cost (cumulative total of cost for the five meters) $25,302,580. Residual electrical usage from grid (cumulative total costs with solar) (5,612,588) Total District cost for Solar Phase II (7,468,817) Estimated lost interest revenue for the 4.1M Bond funds (4% per year for three years) (539,696) Actual cash savings on utilities 2,480,000. Net savings to the District over 20 years at an average $14,161,479. cost escalation of 7% Savings year 20-30 $10 million Savings year 30-40 $10 million BAU costs at 40 years at 10% increase $92 Million

  19. GHG Inventory Results for 2006 12,812.27 Metric Tonnes eCO2

  20. What makes up 12,812.27 Metric Tonnes?

  21. Bus Fleet Roughly 15.25% of the students surveyed use the bus system exclusively If the sample is representative of the rest of the student population then the system saved you 905 Metric Tonnes eCO2

  22. Global Warming US EPA Since 1850 Temp > 1.0 ° to 1.7° F Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded in 2007 that warming of climate is now “unequivocal”. NOAA • Since 1970’s temp > 1° F • Eight warmest years on record (since 1850) have been since 1998 • Warming trends include both minimum and maximum temperatures • Wide spread reduction in the number of days below freezing during last half of 20th Century • Temperature increases in Arctic 2X global rate • Sea levels increased 4.8 to 8.8 inches during last century but mostly 1993-2003

  23. Future of Energy AB32 Reduce GHG To 1990 Levels by 2020 To 80% below 1990 by 2050 Exxon Mobile 80% increase in Fossil Fuel Consumption 2030 Double GHG by 2030 Earth Policy Institute Plan B - 80% reduction by 2020 Energy Efficiency Transportation Industry Appliance Lighting Buildings Solar, Wind, Thermal CO2 at 384 ppm. 400 ppm may be crisis point.
