LEAP Goal #2: All privately-owned facilities supporting residents with functional needs (FSFNs) will have sufficient electrical energy supplies for a minimum of 72-hours of continuous operation without refueling
Objective 2.A: Encourage Private Facilities to Install Adequate Tank Capacity
Action 2.A.1 Draft an advisory letter to facility managers on the need for the 72-hour capacity
Action 2.A.2 Conduct a briefing at each facility to explain the City’s request
Objective 2.B: Investigate Petroleum Set-Aside Program Supplements
Action 2.B.1 Contact the California Energy Commission to determine whether the inclusion of supplemental fuel requests for the privately-owned FSFNs can be included with the City’s application for supplemental fuel under California’s Petroleum Fuels Set-Aside Program. If so, take the following actions.
Objective 2.C: Determine Facility Supplemental Fuel Requirements
Action 2.C.1 Convene a workgroup of private facility managers and CVPW personnel to discuss fuel requirements for each private facility during an extended energy outage. Document generator run-times based on existing capacity and determine supplemental tank and or fueling requirements
Objective 1.D: Draft Emergency Fuel Requests
Action 2.D.1 Compose, review & finalize a fuel request to CEC for use in emergencies
Action 2.D.2 Develop delivery & refueling procedures with fuel vendor & facilities’ managers

(CCFs) have sufficient electrical energy supplies
for a minimum of 72-hours of continuous operation
without refueling

Sponsored by:
Toward A Long-Term Technical Solution A need to move beyond the current energy
supply model & energy assurance planning
paradigm to a model & planning focused on
decentralized, distributed energy resources
& hardened local-area distribution systems
The future energy assurance model will be one in which all critical community
facilities are connected to one or more hardened micro grids served by local
electricity and thermal energy generating plants across a community
A series of microgrids & local generating plants in each community
will be interconnected & connected to the larger area Smart Grids serving non-
emergency consumers
Plan Highlights

Sponsored by:
Toward A Long-Term Technical Solution This first model would support the City’s Emergency Operations
Center (EOC), other essential administrative, police, fire, ambulance and medical functions and two potential congregate care centers
Plan Highlights

Sponsored by:
Toward A Long-Term Technical Solution Each microgrid will have redundant natural gas-fueled combined cooling, heat &
power (CCHP) systems in place to ensure reliability
& extended onsite storage capacity for biodiesel & renewable fuel stocks
Thermal Energy Storage (TES), advanced electrical storage systems, advanced
communications & IT systems & interconnections for emergency fleet plug-in
electric & hybrid electrical vehicles will also play roles in the two-way exchange of
energy resources between all components of the energy assurance system of the
future.
