message from the PresIDeNt & Ceo

This past year was characterized by growth and change for the clean technology business sector and for CleanTECH San Diego. A few years ago, not many companies had senior leadership dedicated to designing sustainability practices. Today, not only does such a position exist in most major companies, but this “Chief Sustainability Officer” also has a prominent seat in the boardroom. Executives now embrace that focusing on sustainability in all aspects of business operations reduces costs throughout their organizations, thereby increasing competitiveness, market share and profitability.

This exciting transformation is also reflected in CleanTECH San Diego’s 2011 membership acquisition. The largest single member category is energy companies involved in both reducing our energy use and creating the alternative energy sources of the future. Our roster of member companies, large and small, established and start-ups, is a testament to the huge market opportunities in front of us.

In this year’s report you will find an expanded list of strategic programs and projects, as well as a number of staff changes. Holly Smithson continues her outstanding work in program development, member services and international activities with the new title of Executive Vice President. As he has from inception, Marty Turock leads the Greening San Diego initiative and chairs the Regional Street Light Working Group, which has become a national model for energy efficiency and municipal cost savings through the deployment of tens of thousands of new, efficient street lights.

In September 2010, we recruited Jason Anderson as Vice President. With his extensive economic development and policy background he hit the ground running leading several mission critical initiatives, including the EDGE Initiative, advocacy efforts with emerging statewide and national cleantech organizations and spearheading several economic development programs.

Working through CleanTECH San Diego member Green Talent Staffing, we hired Pauline Ma as Program Manager responsible for supporting the team in programs and initiatives. We’re pleased to also add Ada Ramos to the team in handling administrative support.

For well over three years, CleanTECH San Diego has prospered under the bold leadership of its first President & CEO, Lisa Bicker. In August, Lisa announced to the Board and membership that she would step down as President & CEO to spend more time with her family. Nevertheless, Lisa expressed her commitment in remaining an intregal part of the team with specific responsibility for the Smart City San Diego initiative and our regional CREBs coalition. This organization and community is fortunate to have Lisa’s continued and invaluable contribution.

With Lisa’s move, I agreed to step in as her successor. In my new role, I intend to continue to work with our team, our members and the entire San Diego community in the development and success of our cluster. I will look to and count on your critical support.

Four years ago, when CleanTECH San Diego was formed, our region was one of only a handful of places that recognized the emerging potential for business and job growth in clean technologies. Through timely leadership by many of San Diego’s policymakers and broad-based support by the region’s business and academic communities, San Diego is now recognized nationally and internationally as one of the world’s leading cleantech clusters. This success reflects the power of San Diego’s extraordinary culture of collaboration and innovation. As CleanTECH San Diego enters its fifth year, we look forward to working with our members and the San Diego community to continue our region’s remarkable growth.

James T. Waring

President & CEO

INTeRNATIONAL ReACh | CleanTECH San Diego’s global brand and robust cluster of 800+ cleantech companies are stoking international interest amongst those eager to invest in our vibrant marketplace or model our prized ecosystem. As a founding member of the Global Cleantech Cluster Association (GCCA), CleanTECH San Diego was selected to host the North American launch of this new international association in November 2010. Our participating international members that were showcased during this launch event included: the Consulate of Canada in San Diego, Toronto Stock Exchange, Australia Trade Commission, WORLD TRADE CENTER San Diego, Swiss Cleantech Association, and the United Kingdom Trade & Investment. GCCA is now comprised of 30 participating member countries with clusters that represent 10,000 international companies and 500 universities and research institutions.

ADVOCACY | CleanTECH San Diego continues to represent its members and the region’s cleantech cluster in Sacramento and Washington DC. CleanTECH San Diego and its members meet regularly with legislative and administration officials at the state and national level to educate them on the region’s activities and to underscore the policies that both support and hinder the cleantech economy. CleanTECH San Diego participated in its first statewide campaign to defeat Proposition 23, a ballot measure backed by the oil industry to overturn the provisions of AB 32, The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. CleanTECH San Diego members Siliken Renewables, AMSOLAR, ClearEdge Power and many others touted their company’s support of AB 32 and raised concerns on how the measure would undermine market demand and technology adoption while impacting California’s market certainty. The measure was widely defeated at the polls and marked CleanTECH San Diego’s first statewide advocacy campaign in partnership with successful state and national stakeholders.

CLUster aND eCoNomIC DeveLoPmeNt

CleanTECH San Diego is representing its cluster as a member of the new statewide Green Technology Leadership Group as well as a member of a federally focused clean technology coalition. Both entities bring together leading regional cluster organizations to accelerate areas of common interest. CleanTECH San Diego is the first and only group with a regional database. We track and analyze new business formation, as well as assist relocating or expanding cleantech companies, service providers and facilitators. Working in conjunction with SDG&E, San Diego Regional EDC, UC San Diego, City of San Diego and others, we were able to attract France-based Soitec to the region. Soitec manufactures solar panels that use concentrator photovoltaic technology to capture more of the sun’s energy. Resulting from an existing relationship with UC San Diego and SDG&E’s laser focus on local job creation, Soitec chose San Diego to site its manufacturing facility. This factory will serve as the US headquarters for Soitec’s solar energy division and will generate more than 1,500 local jobs, including 450 direct jobs.

sMART gRID AND eLeCTRIC VehICLes | sMART CITY sAN DIegOIn January 2011, Mayor Jerry Sanders joined clean energy leaders to announce Smart City San Diego, a collaborative combining the resources of City of San Diego, San Diego Gas & Electric, GE, UC San Diego and CleanTECH San Diego to develop and implement local initiatives that will improve the San Diego region’s energy independence, empower consumers, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and drive economic growth. As San Diego prepares for one of the largest initial deployments of electric vehicles (EVs) in the nation, the initiative rolls out one of the most comprehensive electric vehicle infrastructure plans in the US Additionally, CleanTECH San Diego hosted an Electric Vehicle Showcase for over 150 EV enthusiasts earlier this year to enable and advocate for EV adoption.

sMART gRID | ResCOAs a partner to UC San Diego in its Renewable Energy Security (RESCO) project, CleanTECH San Diego successfully executed on year two of its three-year microgrid grant. This innovative project is focused on enabling renewable energy generation, energy storage, demand response, and energy efficiency with a community-based master controller. The fundamental goal of the RESCO project is to advance the understanding of the complex dynamics that drive community-scale energy use and to apply this knowledge in a way that resolves market barriers. CleanTECH San Diego supports the RESCO project as a subcontractor, providing “market connectivity” services including hosting events and ensuring the transferring of knowledge gained and lessons learned to key decision makers and industry stakeholders.

BIOfueLs | eDge PROgRAMCleanTECH San Diego and its partners: BIOCOM, SD-Center for Algae Biotechnology, UC San Diego, MiraCosta College, San Diego Regional EDC and San Diego Workforce Partnership successfully completed year one of the EDGE Initiative, an effort to create workforce training programs and curricula to support the growth of the region’s biofuels sector. A recent analysis, conducted by SANDAG, reports that the algae sector alone, provides our region with 410 direct jobs, $56 million in direct economic activity and $108 million in total economic activity annually. Year one included the convening of the region’s biofuels industry to develop the curricula and create two training programs. Since the beginning of March 2011, certificate courses have been offered at UC San Diego Extension and MiraCosta College. The Industrial Biotech Immersion Program launched in June 2011. The Masters program is scheduled for 2012 launch.

sOLAR POweR | CReBsAfter receiving authorization of $154 MM in Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) for new solar installations. CleanTECH San Diego hosted multiple sessions with the CREBs coalition, ensuring that its solar providers have the opportunity to benefit from the potential 20 MW of new solar installations. CleanTECH San Diego hosted multiple sessions with the CREBs collation, testified before the California Energy Commission and submitted formal comments to support ancillary programs. Senator Christine Kehoe participated in a coalition meeting to address her approach to California Solar Initiative (CSI) funding. Furthermore, Santee Schools reports that the new CREBs-funded solar PV system on the Hill Creek School, which went into service in September, enabled a 77% reduction in kWh purchased from SDG&E, fully delivering the anticipated benefits. The coalition remains intact and ready to consider pursuing other state and federal opportunities.

Mentoring | SBA/Doe grAnt | CleanTECH San Diego was selected as one of four cleantech accelerator organizations nationwide to support early stage cleantech companies as part of the Entrepreneurial Mentor Corps (EMC). EMC is a component of Startup America, a White House initiative to promote innovation, entrepreneurship and job creation. As part of the program, CleanTECH San Diego, through its members and partners, is mentoring 20 companies, including those specializing in battery storage, electric vehicles and solar.

The collaborative effort leverages the demonstrated success of UC San Diego’s Sustainability 2.0 by repopulating this proven model into participating municipalities.

ENErGY rOADMAp | CleanTECH San Diego worked with SDG&E and SANDAG to prioritize their comprehensive Energy Roadmap assessment for City of Santee and provided input to refine the process for rollout to the other cities in San Diego County.

GrEEnhousE Gas (GhG) BasElininG | CleanTECH San Diego collaborated with the San Diego Foundation, International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, and the University of San Diego on a region-wide program where university students received training as well as course credit for partnering with the 18 cities of San Diego County to complete GHG baselining. This will serve as a basis for developing Climate Action Plans that will identify specific climate mitigation and adaptation initiatives.

DoE EECBG BloCk Grant support | CleanTECH San Diego assisted our two “adopted” cities, Santee ($480K) and Lemon Grove ($131K) in identifying, prioritizing, and preparing applications to secure their DOE EECBG block grants.

san DiEGo unifiED sChool DistriCt (sDusD) solar pV EValuation tEam CleanTECH San Diego supported member SDUSD with a representative on their Solar PV RFP Evaluation Team. That support and insight into the CSI reservation process enabled SDUSD to secure the last 3 MW of PBI incentives remaining in Step 6. Having insufficient financial capacity and lacking an interest in owning and operating their solar PV systems, SDUSD opted to execute PPA contracts with CleanTECH San Diego member AMSOLAR and Main Street Power for a total of 9.6 MW of new solar roofs and car ports at 52 sites identified in our regional CREBs initiative. When added to the existing 4.17 MW solar infrastructure, the total SDUSD solar footprint will grow to 13.8 MW across 84 sites, accounting for 30% of total district electricity production.

rECyClED WatEr | City of Santee and Padre Dam Municipal Water District are working together to secure approvals from the Regional Water Authority and Department of Health to start utilizing recycled water in street cleaners. Upon Santee’s project completion, CleanTECH San Diego will take the lead working with San Diego County Water Authority in promoting the regional implementation of this new best practice.

susTAINABLe COMMuNITIes sTReeT LIghT wORKINg gROuP | Established in 2009, The San Diego Region Street Lighting Working Group (SLWG) is a peer-to-peer energy efficiency initiative. Participating member cities and other public agencies like the Port of San Diego, UC San Diego, and San Diego County are developing and sharing best practices and tools to accelerate the retrofit of SDG&E service territory’s 145,000 streetlights. With the potential for $60 million in contracts to replace these street lights, CleanTECH San Diego became a neutral co-chair of this working group ensuring the process remained technology-agnostic. This initiative provided all 18 cities with the necessary tools and templates used to contract for the retrofit of their incumbent streetlights with either induction or LED replacements, with both offering 40% increased efficiencies. With 13 of the region’s 18 cities either installing or under contract to install over 55,000 retrofits over the next year, this program is on track to deliver 20 million kWh in annual energy savings, accounting for $3 million in taxpayer savings and $20 million in local economic development.

In August, the SLWG transitioned into a Parking Lighting Working Group with 12 of the region’s largest cities, universities, the port, and Balboa Park committed to participate. The top priority is which entities can move to launch Phase I parking lot and/or parking garage retrofit projects before year-end to qualify for the significant incremental CEC ETAP incentives that are only available through December 2011.
