San Joaquin Valley Clean Energy

Partnership

Paul Johnson

San Joaquin Valley Clean Energy Organization


Partnership

• Purpose– Bring needed clean energy stimulus funding to

the Valley through the CEC’s EECBG

– Create a platform of regionally diverse jurisdictions to pursue additional clean energy funding

• Goal– Provide participating jurisdictions with

information & access to a greater array of clean energy services & resources that if they applied directly to the CEC, without administrative burden.

Energy Efficiency Block Grant

Guidelines

Lisa Van de Water

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District

$3.2 billionnationwide for EECBG

$351 millionto California

$302 millionto large cities & counties; tribes

$49 millionto California Energy Commission

$30 millionto small cities & counties

EECBG Requirements

• Accountability & Transparency

• Prevailing wage must be paid

• “Buy American” when possible

• Strict reporting requirements; records available for Inspector General

• Funding prohibitions: gambling establishments, aquariums, zoos, golf courses or swimming pools

• Recipients must:– Have Dunn & Bradstreet (DUNS) number

– Register with Central Contract Registration (CCR)

– Comply with the Single Audit Act requirements, filing with State Comptroller

Multiple-Agency Reporting

Requirements

CEC EECBG Funding Allocation

($49.6 million)

• At least $29.8 million will be passed through to cities/counties not receiving a direct EECBG allocation from U.S. DOE

• Cities with populations < 35,000

• Counties with unincorporated populations

< 200,000

• Remaining $19.6 million used at

discretion of California Energy

Commission

Energy Commission Program Design

• Allocations based on formula– $5.00 per capita

– Unemployment “adder”

• Minimum allocations– $25,000 for cities

– $50,000 for counties

• Requires cost-effective energy efficiency– Minimum 10 million source Btu’s per year for each $1000

spent

• Feasibility study required to verify energy savings

• Allows for energy efficiency projects or direct equipment purchases

6

Other Factors

• California Energy Commission encouraging collaborative partnerships among eligible applicants including:

– Other public agencies

– Nonprofit agencies

• All funds must be used by Sept. 30, 2012 or revert back to Treasury

– Projects completed & operational

San Joaquin Valley Clean Energy Partnership: An Option for Smaller Valley Jurisdictions

Strategy– Regional delivery approach creates

economies of scale and regional benefits.– Packaged services are tailored to needs

of participating jurisdictions

– Each participating jurisdiction receives services equal to the amount of their CEC EECBG allocation

Key Partners

• Air District – Applicant and Project Administrator

• SJVCEO – Lead implementing organization

• Utilities – Leverage resources

• Service Providers will be selected once services have been determined

• Others to be added

8

Partnership Services

Administrative Services Package includes:

– Make arrangements for feasibility studies

– Prepare application for EECBG and

subsequent submission

– Develop RFPs and contracts

– Manage project and ensure service delivery

– Make timely payments to vendors

– Report to CEC

• Traditional Federal/state reporting

• Special ARRA reporting


Retrofit Services Package includes

– Facility assessments (when necessary)

– Retrofit services in at least one of the

following sectors:

• Municipal and institutional

• Commercial

• Residential

• A minimum of 50% of a jurisdiction’s allocation will be allocated to the retrofit service package.

9


Capacity Building Services Package includes at least one of the following:– Strategies & assistance to establish ongoing

financially self-sustaining energy functions in jurisdictions.

– Strategies & assistance to establish loans and financing mechanisms for energy retrofits

– Climate action plan development assistance

– Staff/occupant training on energy efficient practices & opportunities

– Education, outreach, and/or marketing activities


• The total value of all three packages will equal total amount of the jurisdiction’s allocation.

• Depending on needs and interest, jurisdictions will have opportunity to identify & select elements included in the retrofit & capacity building packages (e.g. particular retrofit measures, particular capacity building activities).

• The combined package of services for each jurisdiction will meet the CEC cost effectiveness test.

Partnership Costs & Needs

• We will seek to minimize our charge administrative costs.

• Administrative costs will range between 8% and 15% based on the total number & size of participating jurisdictions.

• The greater the number of large jurisdictions that join our partnership, the lower the administrative cost we will need to charge.

• We will need a minimal level of participating jurisdictions (likely in the range of 15-20) to make this approach viable.

Benefits

• Access needed block grant clean energy resources

• Simplified one-stop access to additional utility and Air District resources — ensuring all applicable rebates & incentives are leveraged for block grant activities

• Eliminate Administrative burden

• Be part of regional effort to benefit the Valley & its jurisdictions

• Be part of network to apply for additional ARRA & other funding opportunities

• Benefit from economies of scale in vendor selection, outreach efforts & scope of services.

• Rapid deployment of efficiency services – Partnership will have infrastructure in place.

12

Next Steps

• Jurisdictions state interest in pursuing EECBG funds by August 21st to CEC

• Development of Partnership continues into September 2009

• CEC issues final guidelines & issues solicitation in early September

• Jurisdictions state their interest in Partnership participation by September 2009

• Applications submitted on a rolling basis beginning in mid-October

• Partnership anticipates submitting application by October 2009 – based on accumulated interest

• Partnership anticipates program launch by early 2010
