CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION Comments on Air Pollution and Electricity Generation and Use Terry Surles California Energy Commission April 26, 2002

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION Driving to a Sustainable Future: The “E”s are Linked  Environment  Energy  Economics  Education  Equity

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION Current Status of Pertinent CEC Activities  Efficiency programs  R&D activities  Energy Technology Export Program

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION Updating Efficiency Standards  New building standards will reduce demand by 200 MW a year  We have added 8 new appliance standards w reduce demand by 133 MW w addressing AC standards and technology

How Did Businesses Conserve? 92% of respondents have taken energy conservation actions, mostly turning off lights and adjusting thermostats

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION “hardware”cooling How did Households Conserve?

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION Mexico’s Fuel Mix for Electricity Generation in 2001 Hydrocarbons (fuel oil, natural gas and diesel) 68% Hydro 14% Geothermal and Wind 3% Nuclear 5% Coal 10%

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION Expected Change in Installed Capacity and Peak Demand (Comisón Federal de Electricidad)

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION Reducing Electricity Use by 8% Leads to Additional Environmental Benefits (Emissions Reduction)  2,044 tons CO  2,307 tons NO x  175 tons SO x  263 tons PM 10  600,000 MT CO 2

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION California Energy Commission International Program  Stimulated $500 million in international energy projects  Additional $2 billion under negotiation  Focus on small and mid-size projects  Mexico if prime area w growth in demand w related environmental issues

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION Mexico/CEC Project Successes  Energy savings - Municipal governments and schools w $10 million to date, focus on lighting  Wind power - La Ventosa w $1.5 million to date, 40 MW proposed w same successful developer as in France and Greece  Industrial efficiency - Grupo Cysda w synthetic fiber plant in Guadalajara w energy savings calculated to be 18% w internal capital  CEC has also contributed funding and expertise

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION Mexico/CEC Program Activities  Maquiladora energy audits (May-Oct 2002)  Financing/investor sourcebook (available)  International energy fund (May-Aug 2002)  Energy company directory (available)  Western Governor’s Association -

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION Attributes for Selecting R&D Projects Program Integration Balanced Technology Portfolio - Temporal -Technology -Risk Technology Partnerships - Universities - Industry - Federal Focus on California - Specific to State needs

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION PIER Buildings Program Highlights Berkeley Lamp  Model partnership between CEC/DOE/California utilities w PIER funded Phase 1 to develop task/ambient lamp concept w DOE funded Phase 2 to develop specific lamp configuration w PIER was instrumental in moving technology into the marketplace via coordination with utility Emerging Technology Coordinating Council Project is both a technical success and a customer success

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION PIER Buildings Program Highlights Night Breeze Provides ventilation and cooling at night, reducing or eliminating the need for air conditioning during the day

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION PowerLight’s PowerGuard PowerLight’s insulated 30 year roof system reduces building air conditioning loads while it’s PV surface generates electricity during hot and expensive peak summer hours While California is known for its hot dry summers, that same solar resource provides a clean, safe and reliable way to generate electricity

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION The California Energy Commission is looking forward to working with its partners to w continue standards development for improving end-use energy efficiency w develop and demonstrate new, efficient, non-polluting energy technologies w promote Mexico/California projects that provide benefits to all parties We will meet public needs for affordable, reliable, environmentally-safe electricity.
