DRIVING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INTO THE FUTURE

Gone are the days where electric vehicles (EV) were a novelty. Californians are expected to buy a record 60,000 EVs in 2017.

Electric and hybrid cars are within reach for more Californians—but electric vehiclechargers are needed to keep their motors running, shifting the responsibility of fueling clean transportation options onto the utility sector. To meet booming demand and the challenge of providing enough power head-on, California’s public utilities launched a host of innovative programs to ensure EV drivers can plug into California’s transportation future.

$2.8 MILLION IN REBATES

>> Pasadena doubled its number of public EV charging stations

over the past two years, bringing the total to more than 200.

>> Burbank established the nation’s first curbside charging network in

2015 and doubled the number of public chargers available in 2016.

2X MORE PUBLIC CHARGERS

>> Anaheim debuted its Public Access EV Charging Station Rebate

Program. Funded by Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits, Anaheim

is providing rebates to customers up to $5,000 for public charging

stations and $10,000 for schools and affordable housing locations.

INCENTIVES UP TO $10,000

>> Colton leveraged its investments in EV chargers at multi-family

and low-income housing by accessing AB 2766 matching funds,

helping make electric vehicles a reality for more residents.

CHARGERS FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING

>> SCPPA members have installed more than 400 public

EV chargers in their respective service territories.400 PUBLICLY- ACCESSIBLE CHARGERS

1,970CHARGERS INSTALLED TO DATE

>> Los Angeles’ “Charge Up LA!” program has paid

more than $2.8 million in rebates on 1,970 chargers

to date, and installed 300 chargers on city property

and at public locations including the LA Zoo and

LAX. In February, Charge Up LA! raised rebates to

$4,000 for commercial customers to foster even

more public access.

STORING SUNSHINE TODAY, SCPPA MEMBERS HAVE MORE THAN 1,330 MW OF ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS INSTALLED AND OPERATING, ENOUGH TO POWER 178,000 HOMES FOR A YEAR.

>> Glendale launched

a new 2 MW battery

energy storage system

with black start

capability, allowing

stored energy to be

used to restart the grid

following an outage.

Over time, Glendale’s

storage may serve as

an emergency energy

source for other utilities.

>> IID integrated a 38.2

MVA battery energy

storage system,

increasing grid reliability.

Considered a utility

first, IID demonstrated

the system’s black start

capability in May 2017,

using the battery to fire-

up a 44 MW natural gas

turbine.

>> Los Angeles is building

a 20 MW utility-scale

battery storage project

in the Mojave Desert,

adding to the city’s

existing 1,296 MW of

energy storage capacity.

>> Azusa installed 35

thermal energy storage

units in commercial

and city facilities to

dramatically reduce

peak demand. The units

work with existing HVAC

systems to cool buildings

without running the HVAC

system’s energy-hogging

compressor during peak

daytime hours.

California’s sunshine should be put to good use. SCPPA members are investing in energy storage to safeguard against climate realities and population challenges that can strain the grid. With more renewable sources coming online, storage is more important than ever. The region’s public utilities are investing in energy savings accounts to ensure reliability no matter what.

ALL SCPPA MEMBERS OFFER PROGRAMS AND SUBSIDIES TO ENSURE ENERGY ACCESS FOR CALIFORNIANS OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE.

>> Vernon’s business-friendly energy policies include an Economic Development Rate Tariff that can save new businesses up to 20% annually. Vernon also has a Commercial Energy Audit program that provides customers with an analysis of their energy-using systems, and customer incentive programs to promote a switch to high-efficiency equipment.

ENERGY FOR EVERYONE

Imagine living in the dark because you can’t pay your energy bill. It’s a possibility for many vulnerable Southern Californians, as high energy costs place the biggest burden on fixed- and low-income families. Meeting renewable goals while keeping energy affordable for all is a key focus for the region’s publicly-owned, locally-governed utilities.

2017 AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL UTILITY RATES (CENTS/KWH)

$0.30/KWH

$0.16/KWH

$0.22/KWH

$0.35/KWH

SCPPA members have provided more than $650 million in assistance to low-income customers during the last 20 years, including $30 million in 2016 alone.

LOWEST RATES (SCPPA Members Average)

>> In what is expected to be a utility first, IID is developing a program that will provide solar energy to all of its 15,000 low-income customers. IID’s eGreen program will offer utility-grade solar power to customers who would like the benefits of solar energy without the need for individual rooftop systems.

>> Burbank promotes tuning up your house just as you would your car. By combining rate assistance and efficiency measures, BWP helps low-income residents get the most “miles per gallon” out of their homes. To date, the program has served more than 6,000 households, investing between $2,000–$5,000 per home, cutting customer bills by an average of 20%.

>> Riverside offers multi-family and mobile home residents direct installation of HVAC tune-ups, lighting efficiency upgrades, weatherization and advanced power strips. More than 1,000 participating customers have saved approximately $200,000 in energy bills since the program’s start.

>> Anaheim offers incentives for high efficiency upgrades to its affordable housing developments. In 2016, Anaheim provided $105,000 in high efficiency windows, appliances, air conditioning and lighting rebates to the Rockwood Apartments project, a 70-unit housing project with support services for homeless families. The energy efficiency improvements resulted in savings of 147,000 kWh per year.
