Energy conservation is the low-hanging fruit of climate action.
<br /><br />
In celebration of Earth Day, the California Energy Commission (CEC) is launching Watt’s Up, a video series that educates and entertains households about all things energy – from energy saving tips to programs.
<br /><br />
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, residential energy use has increased by 20 percent as more people in California are working and learning from home. Our first episode outlines what you can do to reduce your energy consumption. The tips are small tweaks that can save you big bucks on your energy bill.

<b>Here are some simple steps you can take right now:</b><div>
<b>
<br /></b><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Lighting
</b></li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>•Take advantage of natural daylight instead of flipping the switch.
<br /><br />
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>•Use task lighting like a desk lamp to avoid unnecessary energy.
<br /><br />
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>•Replace incandescent lightbulbs with LED lights that are 75 percent more efficient and last 25 times longer. You can use the same LED bulbs every day for about a decade without ever needing a replacement.
<br /><br />
<b>The home office</b>
<br /><br />
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>•Activate sleep and power management settings on electronic devices.
<br /><br />
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>•Use smart strips to better manage power.
<br /><br />
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>•Unplug phone chargers, power strips (those without a switch) and other equipment when not in use. Taken together, these small items can use as much power as your refrigerator.
<br /><br />
<b>Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)</b>
<br /><br />
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>•Clean your filters: A dirty filter forces your air conditioner and furnace to work harder, wasting money, energy or natural gas.
<br /><br />
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>•Turn off your AC when you leave home.
<br /><br />
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>•Check your AC manual for energy saving tips for your specific model.

<br /><br />
The energy efficiency standards we’ve adopted for buildings and appliances over the past 45 years have saved Californians billions of dollars. This <span style="color: #2b00fe;"><u><a href="http://calenergycommission.blogspot.com/2021/01/california-nabs-top-ranking-from.html">nationally recognized leadership</a></u></span> has helped keep the state’s per capita electricity use relatively flat during that time so that today California residents use 31% less energy than the average Americans.
<br /><br />
Now, the CEC, which is the state’s primary energy policy and planning agency, can boast about another kind of energy savings. Our <span style="color: #2b00fe;"><u><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac">2020 California Clean Energy Almanac</a></u></span> makes it easy to find key facts and figures.
<br /><br />
We’ve completely transformed a series of regular reports from detailed compendiums to a handy reference of easy-to-read graphics and factoids about California energy.
<br /><br />
Here’s a sampling:
<br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>• The state’s appliance and building energy efficiency standards have resulted in $100 billion in consumer savings over the past 40 years.
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>• The electricity sector is leading the state’s greenhouse gas reductions — emissions from power generation have dropped 43 percent since 1990.
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>• California arrived three years early in meeting its 2020 goal of having 33 percent of its electricity coming from solar, wind, and other renewable sources.
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>• Twenty-two energy innovation startups that received CEC’s Electric Program Investment Charge Program grants tripled their total private investment.
</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>• About 65 percent of CEC-funded demonstration projects are in low-income or disadvantaged communities, more than double the required proportion.
</li></ul><br /><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><u><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/about/commissioners/david-hochschild"> CEC Chair David Hochschild</a></u></span> said the makeover helps to tell the story of California’s commitment to energy efficiency and progress toward 100 percent clean energy.
<br /><br />
“It shows statistics and examples of how far we’ve come — and need to go — on the road toward a more resilient, affordable, equitable, and environmentally sustainable energy system,” Hochschild said in the almanac’s introduction. “Transforming California’s energy requires accurate and timely information for decision-makers, consumers and businesses.”
<br /><br />
The statistical milestones and examples cover nine areas:
<div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>•Greenhouse gas emissions reductions
</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>• Energy equity
</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li> • Innovation
</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>• Efficiency
</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>• Impacts of Covid-19
</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>• Clean transportation
</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li> • Investments in clean energy
</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>• Energy storage
</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>• Renewable energy
</li></ul></div><div><br /><br />
The 2020 Almanac is designed for energy buffs and novices alike. But if you want to drill deeper, the CEC offers detailed analysis on energy markets, power plants, transportation energy, and electricity data — all on the <span style="color: #2b00fe;"><u><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac">Energy Almanac webpage</a></u></span>.

The CEC is the data depository for all things energy-related. Thanks to the new 2020 Almanac, you can conserve time and energy because all the gems are easy to find and explore! </div></div>California Energy Commissionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07080111681805087811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059910598054985272.post-72181188827633840932021-02-03T14:05:00.018-08:002021-02-04T17:10:56.940-08:00Vice Chair Janea A.

Over the past 40 years, California has become a national leader in land-based wind energy. In 2019, the state had the fifth largest amount of wind capacity in the United States. Now, California is looking to offshore for help in its transition to a carbon-free electric system by 2045.
<br />
<br />
Estimates by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory show that California has the technical potential for more than 100 gigawatts of offshore wind. The vast majority of those resources are located in deep water.
<br />
<br />
Wind turbines off the East Coast are generally mounted on the seabed because the continental shelf tends to slope gently away from the coast . Turbines on the West Coast must be attached to floating platforms because the continental shelf drops off steeply a few miles from the coast.
<br />
<br />
The California Energy Commission (<span style="color: blue;"><u><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/">CEC</a></u></span>) partnered with Guidehouse Consulting to publish recommendations for developing cost-effective offshore wind projects.
<br />
<br />
The report, “<span style="color: blue;"><u><a href="https://ww2.energy.ca.gov/2020publications/CEC-500-2020-053/CEC-500-2020-053.pdf">Research and Development Opportunities for Offshore Wind Energy in California</a></u></span>,” was funded through the CEC’s Electric Program Investment Charge (<span style="color: blue;"><u><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/programs-and-topics/programs/electric-program-investment-charge-epic-program/">EPIC</a></u></span>) program, the state’s premier public interest research program that drives clean energy innovation and entrepreneurship to help meet the state’s climate and energy goals.
<br />
<br />
“This work supported by EPIC is an important investment into identifying research activities to overcome challenges to deploying floating offshore wind turbines,” said Commissioner <span style="color: blue;"><u><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/about/commissioners/karen-douglas">Karen Douglas</a></u></span>. “Some of these challenges include limited information from the handful of floating demonstrations from around the globe, the depth of the ocean offshore California, the cost of floating technology, and potential impacts on species, habitats, and other ocean uses.”
<br />
<br />
The report identifies 10 key barriers to offshore wind energy development and 11 research, development, and deployment opportunities that could lower the development risk of offshore energy projects by removing or reducing technological, manufacturing, logistical, and supply chain barriers.
<br />
<br />
The recommendations are based on case studies of global markets, interviews with various stakeholders, public comment, and a review of more than 200 independent research efforts in the offshore wind industry.

The <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/">California Energy Commission</a></span> (CEC) recently awarded a $9 million grant to demonstrate an advanced energy community that will provide affordable, locally produced renewable energy and energy services within a disadvantaged community in Los Angeles County.
<br />
<br />The grant was awarded through the CEC's Electric Program Investment Challenge (EPIC) program. EPIC, which is California’s premier public interest research program, drives clean energy innovation and entrepreneurship to help meet the state’s climate and energy goals. More than $130 million is awarded annually to support innovations in energy efficiency, energy generation, storage, grid resiliency, renewable integration, electrified transportation, and to bring breakthroughs from the lab to the market.
<br />
<br />
About 65 percent of EPIC technology demonstration and deployment funded are invested in projects located in disadvantaged or low-income communities, according to the <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://ww2.energy.ca.gov/2020publications/CEC-500-2020-009/CEC-500-2020-009-SUM.pdf">2019 EPIC Highlights</a></span> report.
<br />
<br />
The recipient of the $9 million grant is Irvine-based <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://energycoalition.org/">The Energy Coalition</a></span> (TEC), a non-profit organization that works with communities, public agencies, and others to design and implement sustainability strategies.
<br />
<br />
TEC, in partnership with electricity provider Clean Power Alliance, will demonstrate how locally produced renewable and affordable energy can benefit residents of the adjoining Avocado Heights/Bassett area of Los Angeles County. The communities are located in the San Gabriel Valley, approximately 25 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, and are in the 90th percentile of California communities most burdened and vulnerable to multiple sources of pollution, according to the state of California.
Almost 300 low-income households in the Bassett-Avocado Advanced Energy Community (BAAEC) will be powered by solar and storage resources. The community will also feature electric vehicle charging stations, van pooling and a micro-transit program.
<br />
<br />
The project is funded through the EPIC program’s EPIC Challenge, a two-phase design-build competition. Phase one began in 2016 when up to $1.5 million was awarded to 13 teams to plan and design advanced energy communities.
<br />
<br />
The BAAEC was among four selected to advance to the next phase where the clean energy innovations will be built out and demonstrated. The project is expected to reduce net electricity consumption by 96 percent and greenhouse gas emissions by 64 percent over the project’s 25-year period.

Sarah Lehmann from BW Research presented the report findings during the CEC’s July 2020 business meeting. While businesses reported optimistic outlooks at the time of the survey, projecting 2-8 percent employment growth in 2020, researchers reported the sector has experienced an 18 percent decline because of the public health response to COVID-19, including nearly 180,000 jobs lost as of May. This contraction is consistent with trends in other states.
<br />
<br />
However according to preliminary numbers from June, the sector experienced a slight increase compared to May and may be trending in a positive direction.
<br />
<br />
“The report’s findings on 2019 clean energy jobs numbers are remarkable and represent a significant part of our economy,” said Commissioner <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/about/commissioners/j-andrew-mcallister-phd"> J. Andrew McAllister</a></span>. “With the right suite of project-oriented incentives and training programs, we can bring these jobs back as part of a robust economic recovery solution, creating well-paying employment opportunities for the Californians who need them most.”
<br />
<br />
In addition to energy employment numbers, the report also details workforce challenges, wages and demographics. Commissioner <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/about/commissioners/patty-monahan"> Patty Monahan</a></span> pointed out the energy sector’s gender gap, with only 26 percent of the jobs filled by females.
<br />
<br />
“Although we’re seeing positive trends in this area, we need to continue to nurture the diversification of the clean energy movement and ensure we fill gaps in communities where workforce development opportunities aren’t available,” said Commissioner Monahan.
<br />
<br />
“We have to focus on diverse workforce – it’s a major priority,” agreed Commissioner McAllister. “Everyone needs to be part of the clean energy future.”

<br />
<br />
The California State Senate has confirmed Commissioner<span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/about/commissioners/patty-monahan"> Patty Monahan</a></span> to the California Energy Commission <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.energy.ca.gov/">(CEC).</a></span>
<br />
<br />
The Governor appoints, with Senate confirmation, five commissioners to staggered five-year terms. The commissioners must come from and represent specific areas of expertise: law, environment, economics, science and engineering, and the public at large.
<br />
<br />
Governor Gavin Newsom appointed Monahan in March 2019 to fill the remainder of the science and engineering position vacated when former Chair Robert B. Weisenmiller retired. In January 2020, Newsom reappointed her to a five-year term for the science and engineering spot, which is the position that the Senate voted on February 24.
<br />
<br />
As the state's primary energy policy and planning agency, the CEC plays a critical role in creating the energy system of the future - one that is clean, is modern, and ensures the fifth largest economy in the world continues to thrive.
<br />
<br />
Before joining the CEC, Monahan was the transportation program director at the Energy Foundation, where she funded campaigns across the United States to advance electric transportation and cleaner, more efficient vehicles.
<br />
<br />
She also worked in a variety of positions with the Union of Concerned Scientists and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, which covers the Pacific Southwest. Monahan also worked at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory International Studies Program.
<br />
<br />
Monahan’s primary goal as a commissioner is advancing clean, safe, affordable energy. Her priorities include: advancing energy equity, supporting the state’s emerging electric vehicle manufacturing industry, diversifying the state’s suite of transportation fuels beyond oil, accelerating the deployment of electric vehicle infrastructure statewide, and interagency coordination on transportation policy and planning.
<br />

<br />
The California Energy Commission <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/">(CEC)</a></span> and the consulting firm <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://guidehouse.com/about">Navigant</a></span> will hold a public workshop on March 4 to present the results of a study examining research and development opportunities for offshore wind energy in California.<br />
<br />
Offshore wind could play a key role in helping California meet its renewable energy goals by contributing to California's total system electric generation, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.<br />
<br />
The workshop begins at 10 a.m. in Sacramento.<br />
<br />
The CEC contracted with Navigant though its Electric Program Investment Charge <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/programs-and-topics/programs/electric-program-investment-charge-epic-program">(EPIC)</a></span> program to identify opportunities to remove technological, manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain barriers that could hinder the progress of offshore wind deployment.<br />
<br />
The EPIC program drives clean energy innovation and entrepreneurship by investing more than $130 million annually in research that accelerates achieving California’s goal of a 100 percent clean energy generation system by 2045. <br />
<br />
Offshore wind farms would likely be sited in federal waters far from the coast, which begins three miles from shore and extends to 200 nautical miles. California wind farms would likely use floating wind platforms given the depth of the ocean past the Continental Shelf.<br />
<br />
Public comments will be accepted during the workshop, however, there may not be adequate time to review written comments before the workshop ends. Comments can also be submitted <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://efiling.energy.ca.gov/Ecomment/Ecomment.aspx?docketnumber=19-ERDD-01">electronically </a></span>before 5 p.m., March 20. <br />

<br />
<br />
Former State Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León considered the California Energy Commission <span style="color: blue;">
<a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/">(CEC)</a></u></span> a longtime partner in the efforts to champion California’s global leadership in combating climate change and building a 100 percent clean energy economy.
<br />
<br />
De León recognized that effort at a December 3 talk at the CEC.
<br />
<br />
“Regardless of who occupies the White House, no one is ever going to outdo California and the Energy Commission, and everything that we do here in California that is cutting-edge,” he said.
<br />
<br />
De León, who is a candidate for the Los Angeles City Council in the 14th District, is a distinguished policymaker-in-residence and senior analyst at the University of California, Los Angeles Luskin School of Public Affairs.
<br />
<br />
During his talk, he spoke about his personal history, political beginnings, and dedication to sponsoring environmental legislation.

“We moved Senate Bill 350 and it was not easy, but we did get it across the finish line,” he said.

<br />
Following the passage of SB 350, he said he was inspired to further boost California’s clean energy targets after the 2016 election, and subsequent federal rollbacks on clean energy regulations.

SB 350 and SB 100 are part of California’s ambitious clean energy and climate policies that the CEC is working with other state agencies to implement.
<br />
<br />
SB 350, which was signed into law in 2015, established clean energy, clean air, and greenhouse gas reduction goals. SB 350 increases California's renewable electricity procurement goal from 33 percent by 2020 to 50 percent by 2030. It also requires the state to double statewide energy efficiency savings in electricity and natural gas end uses by 2030.
<br />
<br />
SB 100, signed into law in 2018, established a landmark policy that requires the state to get 100 percent of its electricity from zero-carbon resources by 2045.
