San Joaquin Valley Clean Energy
Partnership
• Purpose– Bring needed clean energy stimulus funding to
the Valley through the CEC’s EECBG
– Create a platform of regionally diverse jurisdictions to pursue additional clean energy funding
• Goal– Provide participating jurisdictions with
information & access to a greater array of clean energy services & resources that if they applied directly to the CEC, without administrative burden.

CEC EECBG Funding Allocation
($49.6 million)
• At least $29.8 million will be passed through to cities/counties not receiving a direct EECBG allocation from U.S. DOE
• Cities with populations < 35,000
• Counties with unincorporated populations
< 200,000
• Remaining $19.6 million used at
discretion of California Energy
Commission
Energy Commission Program Design
• Allocations based on formula– $5.00 per capita
– Unemployment “adder”
• Minimum allocations– $25,000 for cities
– $50,000 for counties
• Requires cost-effective energy efficiency– Minimum 10 million source Btu’s per year for each $1000
spent
• Feasibility study required to verify energy savings
• Allows for energy efficiency projects or direct equipment purchases
6
Other Factors
• California Energy Commission encouraging collaborative partnerships among eligible applicants including:
– Other public agencies
– Nonprofit agencies
• All funds must be used by Sept. 30, 2012 or revert back to Treasury
– Projects completed & operational

San Joaquin Valley Clean Energy Partnership: An Option for Smaller Valley Jurisdictions
Strategy– Regional delivery approach creates
economies of scale and regional benefits.– Packaged services are tailored to needs
of participating jurisdictions
– Each participating jurisdiction receives services equal to the amount of their CEC EECBG allocation
Key Partners
• Air District – Applicant and Project Administrator
• SJVCEO – Lead implementing organization
• Utilities – Leverage resources
• Service Providers will be selected once services have been determined
• Others to be added
8
Partnership Services
Administrative Services Package includes:
– Make arrangements for feasibility studies
– Prepare application for EECBG and
subsequent submission
– Develop RFPs and contracts
– Manage project and ensure service delivery
– Make timely payments to vendors
– Report to CEC
• Traditional Federal/state reporting
• Special ARRA reporting
Partnership Services
Retrofit Services Package includes
– Facility assessments (when necessary)
– Retrofit services in at least one of the
following sectors:
• Municipal and institutional
• Commercial
• Residential
• A minimum of 50% of a jurisdiction’s allocation will be allocated to the retrofit service package.
9
Partnership Services
Capacity Building Services Package includes at least one of the following:– Strategies & assistance to establish ongoing
financially self-sustaining energy functions in jurisdictions.
– Strategies & assistance to establish loans and financing mechanisms for energy retrofits
– Climate action plan development assistance
– Staff/occupant training on energy efficient practices & opportunities
– Education, outreach, and/or marketing activities
Partnership Services
• The total value of all three packages will equal total amount of the jurisdiction’s allocation.
• Depending on needs and interest, jurisdictions will have opportunity to identify & select elements included in the retrofit & capacity building packages (e.g. particular retrofit measures, particular capacity building activities).
• The combined package of services for each jurisdiction will meet the CEC cost effectiveness test.

Partnership Costs & Needs
• We will seek to minimize our charge administrative costs.
• Administrative costs will range between 8% and 15% based on the total number & size of participating jurisdictions.
• The greater the number of large jurisdictions that join our partnership, the lower the administrative cost we will need to charge.
• We will need a minimal level of participating jurisdictions (likely in the range of 15-20) to make this approach viable.
Benefits
• Access needed block grant clean energy resources
• Simplified one-stop access to additional utility and Air District resources — ensuring all applicable rebates & incentives are leveraged for block grant activities
• Eliminate Administrative burden
• Be part of regional effort to benefit the Valley & its jurisdictions
• Be part of network to apply for additional ARRA & other funding opportunities
• Benefit from economies of scale in vendor selection, outreach efforts & scope of services.
• Rapid deployment of efficiency services – Partnership will have infrastructure in place.
12
Next Steps
• Jurisdictions state interest in pursuing EECBG funds by August 21st to CEC
• Development of Partnership continues into September 2009
• CEC issues final guidelines & issues solicitation in early September
• Jurisdictions state their interest in Partnership participation by September 2009
• Applications submitted on a rolling basis beginning in mid-October
• Partnership anticipates submitting application by October 2009 – based on accumulated interest
• Partnership anticipates program launch by early 2010
