RETI 2.0 is a review of data on resource potential, costs and benefits of renewable energy resources in different areas of California and the western US, and information regarding the ability of the existing bulk transmission capacity to access resources into the California Independent System Operator (ISO) Control Area. In addition, per SB 350 (2015), the State is exploring an expansion of its grid operations into other western states to enhance energy flow to meet the West's demand for reliable, affordable, and sustainable power. The shift to a regional ISO would expand resource flexibility, improve transmission planning and grid reliability, and promote clean energy. |
| 579 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Ongoing | Install natural gas power | Limited implementation | The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Long-Term Procurement Plan (LTPP) proceeding evaluates generation resources in the CAISO system every two years. The intent is to evaluate whether existing and projected resources are sufficient to meet future demand, and to authorize procurement of additional resources (including conventional generation and preferred resources) in the event that they are insufficient. While the State is moving towards grid decarbonization to meet its 2030 and 2050 climate targets, it is likely that some gas-fired generation will continue to be needed in the near-term to help meet grid reliability requirements and integrate variable renewable resources. |
| 580 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Planned | Install biomass power | Limited implementation | Markets for biomass energy in California are complex and in flux. Most existing wood-fired biomass generation facilities were built in the 1980s, when regulatory and economic conditions were more favorable. Generally, the number of biomass facilities has diminished over time primarily due to economic issues, including competition from wind and solar generation, as well as natural gas power. To aid new biomass plants, SB 1122 (Rubio, 2012) established a feed in tariff to new bioenergy facilities that are 3 MW and less, known as the Biomass Market Adjusting Tariff (BioMAT) program. BioMAT tasks the three largest investor-owned utilities (IOUs) to procure their share of 250 MW of bioenergy, with 50 MW allocated to facilities that use forest material from sustainable forest management. AB 1923 (Wood, 2016) adjusts the BioMAT size limits to allow electric generators to have a nameplate capacity of 5 MW while maintaining the export limit to the grid of 3 MW. In addition, SB 859 (2016) requires that IOUs and the larger local publicly owned utilities purchase their proportionate share of 125 MW of electricity from existing bioenergy facilities that use a specified percentage of fuel from High Hazard Zones in California. |
| 581 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Planned | Install carbon capture and storage | Pilot stage | California Air Resources Board is currently developing a quantification methodology for carbon capture and storage (CCS).

See more at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ccs/ccs.htm |
| 582 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Ongoing | Install combined heat and power or trigen | Limited implementation | The Scoping Plan sets a target of 4,000 MW of additional CHP capacity by 2020. AB 1613 (2007) created a feed-in tariff to incentivize the development of small CHP. The Governor's Clean Energy Jobs Plan calls for an additional 6,500 MW of new CHP capacity by 2030. The State also directly supports CHP development through the Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP), which provides financial incentives for a variety of small-scale distributed energy resources, including both conventional- and renewable-fueled CHP. |
| 583 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Ongoing | Install energy storage system | Comprehensive implementation | The State's three large investor owned utilities (IOUs) are in the process of acquiring 1.325 GW of energy storage as required by AB 2514 (2013). AB 2868 (2016) requires the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to direct the IOUs to accelerate the deployment of distributed energy storage by filing applications for new programs and investments of up to an additional 500 MW to increase the market for energy storage in California. |
| 584 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Ongoing | Install fuel cell power | Limited implementation | The State has a Fuel Cell Net Energy Metering Program (NEM) designed to encourage the development of eligible fuel cell electrical generating facilities using technologies the CPUC has determined will achieve GHG reductions. AB 1637 (2016) modified and extended the program. See more at, https://www.arb.ca.gov/energy/nem/nem.htm |
| 585 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Ongoing | Install hydropower | Limited implementation | Hydroelectric power is a major source of California's electricity, with contribution dependent on rainfall. Our hydro facilities fall into two categories: (1) facilities >30 MW are called large hydro; and (2) those <30 MW are called small hydro and qualify for the Renewables Portfolio Standard. As of October 2016, in-State operating small hydro generation was 1800 MW. New renewable capacity expected online in 2017 includes 4 MW of small hydro. |
| 586 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Planned | Install microgrids | Pilot stage | California Energy Commission (CEC) in collaboration with the CPUC and ISO is developing a Roadmap for the Commercialization of Microgrids in California. This Roadmap will be finalized by the end of 2017. |
| 587 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Planned | Install smart grids | Limited implementation | Increasing levels of customer-side intermittent renewable generation (primarily solar PV) has produced new operational challenges for the grid and is driving the current need for IOU investment in Smart Grid technologies. CPUC's new Distribution Resources Plan (DRP) proceeding underway will guide new Smart Grid investment requests in future General Rate Cases. The DRPs require the IOUs to begin planning and investing in the distribution system in a way that will enable higher levels of distributed energy resources adoption than traditional grid planning processes have previously allowed. |
| 588 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Ongoing | Install solar power (e.g. PV, CSP) | Comprehensive implementation | As of October 2016, in-State operating solar thermal capacity was 1300 MW and solar PV capacity was 13,000 MW (includes self-generation). New renewable capacity expected online in 2017 includes 785 MW of solar PV (not including self-generation). On the renewable distributed generation side, SB 1 (2006) provides up to $3.3 billion in incentives for installation of residential, commercial, and institutional rooftop solar PV systems, with a goal of 3,000 MW of solar capacity and solar PV system on 50% of new homes by 2020. The law includes three programs: (1) California Solar Initiative (CSI) implemented by the CPUC for solar PV system installation on existing residential, existing or new commercial, agricultural, government and non-profit buildings; (2) New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP) administered by the CEC for installation of solar systems on new residential buildings; and (3) publicly-owned utility (POU) component of the program, requiring the POUs to offer financial incentives for solar systems to customers within their service areas. The State has exceeded the 3,000 MW goal with installation of 5,100 MW. |
| 589 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Planned | Install geothermal power | Limited implementation | As of October 2016, in-State operating geothermal capacity was 2700 MW. No new geothermal capacity is expected to come online in 2017; however, there are 7 projects totaling 360 MW that have received environmental permits but are not yet operational. |
| 590 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Ongoing | Install wind power (e.g. onshore, offshore) | Comprehensive implementation | Wind energy plays an integral role in California's electricity portfolio. In 2016, turbines in land-based wind farms generated nearly 7% of the State's gross system power. Additionally, hundreds of homes and farms are using smaller wind turbines to produce electricity. 20 MW of new wind capacity began operating in 2016. In 2017, 132 MW of new wind capacity is expected to come online. Offshore wind power is in the planning and pilot stage. In October 2016, the U.S. Department of Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the State of California convened the BOEM California Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force (Task Force), a partnership of federal, state, local agencies and tribal governments, as a forum to provide information to the decision-making process for planning future offshore renewable energy development in federal waters offshore California. The Task Force is currently gathering environmental and use data for the entire coast of California to inform the offshore wind planning process. Initial emphasis for this effort is on the Central Coast region due to current commercial interest by offshore wind developers, readily available ex existing transmission infrastructure, and viable wind energy resources. |
| 591 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Ongoing | Measure energy productivity (e.g. GDP per unit of energy) | Comprehensive implementation | The U.S. Energy Information Administration provides statistics and analyses: https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=CA |
| 592 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Ongoing | Promote demand-side management programs | Comprehensive implementation | CPUC oversees programs and market mechanisms to help customer manage their energy use. Customers have a wide range of "distributed energy resources" (DERs) to choose from (e.g., energy efficiency, demand response, customer generation, energy storage, and water-energy conservation). A portfolio of DER solutions is available to customers through programs, tariffs, and procurements run directly by the utility of third-party implementers. In addition, CAISO's energy storage and distributed energy resources (ESDER) initiative is working to lower barriers and enhance the ability of transmission grid-connected DER to participate in the CAISO market. The number and diversity of these resources are growing and represent an increasingly important part of the resource mix. Integrating these resources will help lower carbon emissions and add operational flexibility. |
| 593 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Ongoing | Reform utility revenue policies and rate structures | Comprehensive implementation | In 2013, Assembly Bill 327 was enacted into law to reform residential rates, among other things. The CPUC implemented this law through rulemaking, R.12-06-013, the Residential Rate Reform Order Instituting Rulemaking, which established a regulatory pathway for realigning rates to reflect a number of guiding principles. These principles were outlined in the Assigned Commissioner's Ruling on Residential Rate Reform. In July 2015, Decision D.15.07-001 provided direction to the IOUs regarding specific steps that must be taken to reform the residential rate design structure resulting in an envisioned end-state of default time of use (TOU) rates and an optional two-tier rate. In addition, D.15-07-001 set a course for residential rate reform over the next few years. See more at: http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/General.aspx?id=12154 In 2016, CPUC submitted to the Governor and Legislature a report: Actions to Limit Utility Cost and Rate Increases. The report identifies some of the broader cost categories impacting the California Investor Owned Utilities' revenue requirement, while illustrating a few options for cost reduction (or sales growth) that the CPUC may wish to consider in future proceedings. |
| 594 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Energy | Ongoing | Replace coal-fired/inefficient power stations | Comprehensive implementation | The State continues to implement SB 1368 Regulations Establishing and Implementing a GHG Emission Performance Standard for Local Publicly Owned Electric Utilities which effectively prohibits utilities from making new long term investments in high-GHG emitting resources such as coal. |
| 595 | California | USA | North America | Yes | 2016 and 2017 | 39200000 | 2016 | Finance | Ongoing | Support clean tech clusters | Limited implementation | On September 2, 2015, as part of the Electric Program Investment Charge, the California Energy Commission released a competitive solicitation to fund awards to further advance Regional Energy Innovation Clusters in California. These Clusters will provide and coordinate key services, assistance, resources, and infrastructure needed by entrepreneurs and researchers in the region to successfully bring to market energy innovations that can benefit IOU electric ratepayers. Up to $20 million in Electric Program Investment Charge funding was available for this solicitation. Awardees included Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator, Inc. and CSU, Fresno Foundation.
