through September 30. The rate charges $0.2563 per kWh and $0.1056 per kWh for energy used during on‐peak and off‐peak hours, respectively from October 1 through May 31. On‐peak hours are 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. everyday all year long, and off‐peak are all other hours. APU plans to establish EV rates for commercial customers in 2018.
B.3. PUBLIC PROGRAMS FOR CUSTOMERS INCLUDING DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES B.3.1. IRP Customer Survey Results
The IRP Customer Survey results indicate that 6% of the surveyed residential customers currently own or lease an EV, and 14% anticipate acquiring an EV within the next three years. The residential customers
also indicated that the $500 EV charger rebate and the availability of public charging stations would increase their likelihood of acquiring EVs.
Per 2015 census data, 53% of Anaheim housing units are renter occupied. The IRP Customer Survey indicates that within APU territory, renters are more supportive of renewable initiatives than home owners; and slightly more renters already own or anticipate acquiring an EVs within the next three years.

Anaheim Public Utilities
Currently APU reimburses customers for out‐of‐pocket expenses up to $500 per EV charger for a maximum of five EV charger rebates per customer, and the charging facility may be used for personal or business purposes without being made available to the public. Eligible expenses include the cost of the charger and the cost of installation. In addition to the rebate, APU pays the City’s permitting fees for the EV charger.
Since the program inception in 2012, APU has issued rebates for a total of 364 EV chargers. These rebates sum up to $350,138 and are funded by APU’s Business Development Funds.
APU plans to continue offering the $500 rebates and promoting the Public Access EV Charging Station Rebate Program, which is discussed in the next section.
B.3.3. Public Access EV Charging Station Rebate Program (2016 – Current) Program Design
The new Public Access EV Charging Station Rebate Program is designed with multi‐unit dwelling customers and disadvantaged communities in mind. It provides rebate of actual equipment and installation costs up to $5,000 per EV charging station installed for public access at workplace, schools, or multi‐unit dwelling locations within Anaheim. This program also pays for City of Anaheim building permit fees.
Disadvantaged Communities, Schools, and DC Fast Charging Charging locations serving Affordable Housing locations or K‐12 schools will receive a rebate for actual equipment and installation costs up to $10,000 per EV charging station, including City of Anaheim building permit fees. In 2017, APU revised the program design to extend the $10,000 allocation to customers installing direct current (DC) fast charging stations. APU recognizes the need for more publicly available EV charging station infrastructure and considers the typical charging duration of 4‐8 hours on Level 2 chargers to be a barrier to EV adoption and ownership.
APU believes the revision to include DC fast charging stations can help enhance Anaheim’s EV‐ friendly environment.
Funding
The funding of this program is from the sale of Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits, which are part of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) LCFS funding program. The additional rebates for the Affordable Housing installations are funded by APU’s Public Benefits Funds under the low income category, and the additional rebates for K‐12 schools are funded by Business Development Funds. Additional rebates for DC fast charging stations are funded by GHG Allowance proceeds if LCFS funds are exhausted.

Customer Participation
Since inception, the program has had over 60 rebate reservations, which are anticipated to incentivize about 180 public access charging stations. The additional $5,000 for locations serving Affordable Housing locations and personalized customer outreach (described more in detail under Education and Outreach Plans below) show APU’s efforts in prioritizing disadvantaged communities.
APU plans to continue offering the rebates and working closely with customers to understand their specific needs and how to best assist them.
B.3.4. Future Programs
Public Space Charging
APU is collaborating with other City
departments including Public Works,
Community & Economic Development, and
Community Services to identify more
locations to install city owned EV charging
stations. In neighborhoods with high
concentrations of multi‐unit dwellings,
public spaces such as parks, community
centers, and police stations may be
locations where residents can potentially
charge their EV’s. APU anticipates to begin with a pilot program, and then evaluate the feasibility of program expansion. APU is currently evaluating two locations for the pilot program:
Brookhurst Community Center and Ponderosa Park Family Resource Center. Both locations are located in disadvantaged communities and are adjacent to schools and parks.
DC Fast Charging Plaza
As previously discussed, APU believes DC fast charging stations can help enhance Anaheim’s EV‐ friendly environment, and APU plans to facilitate DC fast charging plazas in Anaheim. The three major freeway corridors (Interstate 5 freeway, State Route 57, and State Route 91) give Anaheim a unique advantage to host a cluster of DC fast charging stations where EV drivers can quickly refuel their cars and then get back on the road. The revision of the Public Access EV Charging Station Rebate Program will help this concept come to fruition. Additionally, APU is in preliminary discussions with a number of private entities to evaluate the feasibility of installing DC fast charging plazas within Anaheim.

CtrCity MicroTransit
CtrCity MicroTransit is a project proposed by Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN). ATN has applied for grant funds to transform transit/transportation in downtown Anaheim (CtrCity) through the creation of a new CtrCity Microtransit service. The service will be a combination of “alternative transit services” and “ride hailing” using zero‐emission “Micro‐cruiser” vehicles.
CtrCity Microtransit will be tailored to the specific needs of the disadvantaged neighborhood to ensure zero‐emission transit becomes an integral part of the community.
The proposed service will encourage
visitors to use public transit from
nearby ARTIC and use free Micro‐
cruisers for first/last mile
connections. Service will also be
available from area parking garages,
to discourage motorists from
circling/idling in cars while waiting
for parking spaces. Community
residents and workers will be able to
use the service to reach the larger
regional transit system, through
both fixed‐route and demand‐
responsive elements of a hybrid fixed/flex route system. APU will provide electrical charging infrastructure advice to assist ATN to operate its “Micro‐cruiser” fleet to eliminate pollutant‐ heavy short trips and encourage car‐free living in downtown Anaheim.
Electric Buses at Anaheim School Districts
Three school districts within APU’s service territory – Savanna School District, Anaheim Elementary School District, and Anaheim Union High School District – each received a $536,000 grant ($496,000 to purchase two electric buses and $40,000 for charging infrastructure) from the South Coast Air Quality Management District.19 APU is in discussion with these three school districts to provide advice on charging infrastructure and energy usage management.
B.3.5. MARKET BARRIERS AND SOLUTIONS
APU has observed two main market barriers related to TE:
1. Infrastructure capital costs of charging stations: More grants and incentives can help solve this barrier;

2. Americans with Disabilities Acts (ADA) requirements: Parking spaces are often scarce, especially in popular public areas, and the ADA requirements on disabled access parking spaces may deter the adoption of more charging stations. APU will continue to work with City of Anaheim’s Planning Department to overcome these barriers.
C. Prioritization and Funding Leverage
Where feasible, APU maximizes external funding sources to facilitate transportation electrification. Below is a summary of external grants and credits APU has utilized to build up the EV charging infrastructure.
INCENTIVES AND GRANTS
1. ChargePoint America Program (June 2011)
ChargePoint provided 9 free EV Level 2 “ChargePoint” charging stations (approximately $50,000 value) and APU paid for the labor used to install the stations (approximately $7,000). These stations were installed at the parking areas for Anaheim West Tower, Anaheim City Hall, Anaheim Canyon Metrolink Station, and Anaheim Convention Center.
2. ECOtality North America (September 2012)
ECOtality awarded 10 free EV Level 2 “Blink” charging stations (approximately $50,000 value) and also for the installation of these stations. These stations were installed at the parking areas for Anaheim West Tower, Anaheim City Hall, Anaheim Maintenance Yard, and Anaheim Police Department.
3. Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (April 2014 – ongoing) Grant funds are up to $69,000 for purchasing and installing 20 Level 2 EV charging stations. APU has installed 6 charging stations at the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center.
Other locations will possibly be at Anaheim City Hall, Anaheim Public Works Facilities, and other City parking structures.
4. CEC’s Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (PON‐13‐606) through SCPPA (January 2014)
CEC provided approximately $50,000 towards the purchase and installation of 4 Level 2 EV charging stations and 1 DC fast charger. These stations are all located at the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center.
5. Nissan North America, Inc. (August 2015)
Nissan donated 3 non‐network Level 2 Aerovironment EV charging stations (approximately $1,500 value) for APU’s fleet. APU leased 6 Nissan Leaf EVs through a Nissan dealer and was eligible for this donation. These stations were installed at Anaheim West Tower. 2018 Integrated Resource Plan

6. ChargePoint Trade Out Program (September 2017)
ChargePoint provided opportunities for APU to swap out existing EV chargers with newer EV chargers at a discounted price. APU was able to replace older, single‐port EV chargers with dual‐ port EV chargers equipped with communication module and retractable cord management for $3,000 each instead of the normal cost of about $6,000 each. This program allowed APU to renovate its EV chargers at CtrCity Anaheim (Anaheim West Tower) and the Anaheim Convention Center.

CREDITS
1. Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Credits
Under the CARB LCFS funding program, APU has reported energy usage and applied for the associated LCFS credits. The reported energy usages are generated from three categories: APU’s public EV charging stations, residential EV charging data, and the electric forklift data within the City of Anaheim. APU sells these LCFS credits through competitive solicitation to generate revenues and to fund the abovementioned Public Access EV Charging Station Rebate Program.
The use of LCFS credit revenue is limited to the benefit of current and future EV customers.
2. Energy Policy Act (EPAct) Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Credits Under Department of Energy’s State and Alternative Fuel Provider Fleet Program, APU filed reports to demonstrate its compliance with EPAct requirements to acquire alternative fuel vehicles. From Model Years 2015 and 2016, APU banked a total of 5 AFV credits. The credits may be sold to generate funding in the future.

XI. Solar and Other Distributed Generation
Anaheim Public Utilities
XI. SOLAR AND OTHER DISTRIBUTED GENERATION
A. Customer Owned Solar PV
Customer owned solar photovoltaics (PV) are evenly spread throughout the APU territory. As of the end of 2017, 2,827 solar PV systems have been installed in Anaheim for a combined total of 26 MW of solar capacity. Solar growth is expected to continue, increasing by roughly 500 new solar PV systems annually for an estimated 5 MW of new solar capacity each year in APU territory. As solar panel costs continue to decline, APU expects more customers to adopt solar.
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOLAR PV
1. Residential and Commercial Customers
The SB 1 program was successful in accelerating the rapid growth of solar in Anaheim. With the SB 1
solar incentives and the 30% Federal income tax credit, residential customers were able to recover more than 50% of the cost of a solar PV system in the early years of the ten‐year program. The majority of commercial customers that installed solar were able to do so because of the SB 1 program.
Solar growth in APU territory has climbed at a steep rate over the last five years and has plateaued to about 500 new solar installations annually for an additional five (5) MW each year. With the 30% Federal income tax credit scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2019, APU expects to see a drop in solar installations in 2020 before picking back up in 2021 and beyond.
2. Income‐qualified Customers
The State required SB 1 incentives for residential customers to start at $2.75 per watt, or higher, for each solar watt installed. APU offered an additional income‐qualified solar incentive to those that met the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development low income guidelines. Approximately $2.9 million in income‐qualified solar incentives were paid out to 141 customers for a total of 650 kW capacity of solar which equals $4.46 per watt installed. Almost all of the low income customers who received SB 1 incentives would not have been able to afford solar otherwise and will continue to benefit over the lifetime of their solar panels.
OVERALL PRIVATELY OWNED SOLAR GROWTH
The chart below shows the rapid growth of
solar in Anaheim that resulted from declining solar panel prices and SB 1 incentives. Over the past decade, APU’s commercial and residential customers have installed over 26 MW of solar.

Net Energy Metering
Net energy metering (NEM) is a special billing arrangement that provides a credit to customers with eligible renewable electric generation facilities (e.g., solar PV systems) that send excess energy back to the Grid. Customers can then use that excess energy to offset the energy provided by APU. Customers with renewable electric generation facility installations enter into the Interconnection Agreement for Net Energy Metering with APU to receive an energy credit or an annual compensation payment for the excess solar generation greater than the total energy usage.

NEM 1.0
State law requires that APU offer customers retail NEM until the total generated capacity of eligible customer‐generators exceed 5% solar penetration of APU’s all‐time peak aggregate load of 593 MW, which equates to 29.6 MW. Currently, the total generated capacity of NEM customers is at approximately 4.2% and is projected to reach 5% in late 2018. Approximately 2,800 NEM customers currently participate in the retail NEM program and when APU transitions to a successor program they will have the option to remain in the original NEM program until 2040.
NEM 2.0
APU is in the process of developing a successor NEM program to become effective once the Utility reaches its 29.6 MW goal under the current NEM program. The new Net Energy Metering Program 2.0 (NEM 2.0) is expected to become effective, upon City Council approval, in 2019. It is anticipated that NEM 2.0 will compensate customers at avoided cost for all excess energy that APU receives from any customer owned distributed energy resource (DER) that is designed to offset 100% or less of their load.
B. Solar for Schools
APU created a pilot Solar for Schools program that builds solar carport facilities and/or lunch shelters on school properties throughout Anaheim and compensates the school for use of the property. This program solicited local school districts to submit an application for two schools of their choosing to be evaluated to be a host solar site for APU. The program was very well received by the school districts, and APU received seven applications for a total of fourteen host solar sites to be evaluated. After a consultant evaluated each solar site for feasibility of solar being installed at each school, nine schools were selected to be a host solar site. A nationwide Request for Proposals (RFP) was advertised for a solar developer to design and build these nine school solar sites. A solar developer was selected and awarded the design and build contract in December 2017. The total capacity of all nine schools is rated at 1.5 MW.
Construction of the Solar for Schools projects is estimated to cost $6 million and be completed during the summer of 2018. Once in operation, these systems are to be included in a pilot Solar Power Program described below. In return for licensing their property to the City, the school districts will receive a fixed annual license payment without the risk of intermittent solar production. These projects will be built, owned, and operated by APU and all energy produced will be included in APU’s renewable energy portfolio. Along with supporting local school districts and the new Solar Power Program, the projects themselves will provide real‐life examples to support students pursuing an education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. APU plans on subsequent phases of the Solar for Schools program pending success of this pilot program. 2018 Integrated Resource Plan

C. Solar Power Program
APU is planning a Solar Power Program pilot that will encourage participation from income‐qualified customers. At its inception, APU’s Solar Power Program will utilize energy locally produced from the Solar for Schools program, but could be expanded to include other renewable resources. This pilot program will be available to income‐qualified customers and is designed to extend the benefits of solar energy to customers who may not otherwise have access to solar energy due to the cost or because they do not own their own roof. By participating in the program, income‐qualified customers would receive a set amount of solar energy each bill cycle at a discount over their normal rates. As APU builds more solar resources within its service territory, the program could expand to include more income‐ qualified customers.
D. Anaheim Solar Energy Plant at the Convention Center
In 2013, APU partnered with the Anaheim Convention Center to install a 2.4 MW solar PV system on the roof of the Anaheim Convention Center. Completed in August 2014, the Anaheim Solar Energy Plant includes 7,902 panels, produces 3,500 MWh annually, and supplies about 17% of the convention centers annual electricity needs. The solar PV system allowed the Convention Center to attain LEED Gold certification.

APU reports distributed generation and internal generation above 100 kW in the 1306C Report: UDC List of Power Plants Semi‐Annual
Report semi‐annually to the California Energy Commission. Within the City of Anaheim, currently there is a total of 2.46 MW of installed capacity of fuel cell technology, and a total of 0.13 MW of installed capacity of micro turbine technology.
APU’s IRP Customer Survey indicated that four (4) out of the six (6) large business customers, who were willing to disclose their on‐site power generation, stated that they have fuel cells. Fuel cell technology appears to be the preferred non‐solar distributed generation technology within APU’s service territory.
The impact of these installations is part of APU’s load forecast – accounting for future system expansions.

XII. ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND DEMAND RESPONSE PROGRAMS A. Program History
APU has historically provided energy efficiency (EE) programs to its customers, even before AB 1890.
Since the inception of AB 1890, APU has set aside 2.85% from electric retail sales for the implementation of Public Benefit programs. The funds are allocated to the following four program categories:
1. Cost‐effective energy efficiency and conservation activities;
2. Research, development, and demonstration programs to advance science or technology that are not adequately provided by competitive and regulated markets;
3. In‐state operation and development of existing, new, and emerging renewable resource technologies; and
4. Programs and rate discounts for low income electricity customers.
Currently, there are over 45 energy and water efficiency programs to help Anaheim customers reduce their utility bills and operating costs. Since 1998, APU has expended nearly $135 million in residential, income‐qualified and commercial energy efficiency programs. Over the past five years, APU reported savings of 154,630,745 kWh between FY12/13 and FY16/17. The following chart illustrates APU’s FY energy savings over the past five years.
Graph 70: Annual kWh Savings Targets
B. Target Setting
SB 350 (De León, 2015) directed POUs to develop energy efficiency targets consistent with the statewide energy efficiency targets adopted by the California Energy Commission (CEC).

APU, in conjunction with other members within the California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA), contracted with Navigant Consulting, Inc. (Navigant) to identify all potentially achievable cost‐effective electricity efficiency savings and establish annual targets for energy efficiency savings for 2018‐2027.
The purpose of the study is not only to look back on the success of the past years, but also to look ahead and inform discussions on how to achieve additional energy savings in the future.
The final report “Energy Efficiency in California’s Public Power Sector” was published and submitted to the CEC in 2017. Based on the Navigant report, APU presented its ten‐year goals (required by AB2021 every four years) to the City Council in 2016 to achieve an average annual energy savings equal to 1.1% of retail electric sales.

forums for discussing and pursuing projects that benefit varying groups of all POUs. Anaheim is joint powers member of SCPPA, which allows collaboration among other publicly owned utilities which helps encourage volumetric discounts.
In addition to collaboration with other POUs, APU also collaborates with other stakeholders. One of the major program enhancements in FY15‐16 was Anaheim’s successful collaboration with the Southern California Gas Company (SoCal Gas Company) to provide the Weatherization Program. This program utilizes a one‐stop approach to provide efficiency improvements to Anaheim’s income‐qualified residential customers. In this program, Anaheim residents receive electric, gas, and water conservation measures through a single point of contact and by a contractor qualified by the SoCal Gas Company.
Anaheim also has contracted with third party contractors that assist with the school, residential, and commercial programs. For school programs, contractors help promote and educate students about energy efficiency and water conservation. To date approximately 30 schools have participated in the school programs, which allowed over 21,000 students to participate in energy and water programs.
Other contractors help with some of the residential and commercial programs, such as the Home Utility Check‐Up and the Refrigerator Recycling Programs, as well as the Small Business Energy Management Assistance Program.
Creative Synergy with Other City Departments
APU works closely with other City departments, including Community Services, Community and Economic Development, Planning, and Public Works. Collaborating with other departments helps APU learn new ideas and find out ways to engage more customers in its various programs.
Inter‐departmental
collaboration also enables greater understanding of community needs, which results in better program design and participation. For example, Community Services interacts directly with seniors and income‐qualified customers, and assists with promoting the Income‐Qualified Energy Discount and Emergency Assistance programs, including referrals to APU for other programs that help customers manage their utility bills.
Community Outreach and Student Engagement
Anaheim holds 40 community outreach events annually throughout the City to promote the energy and water savings programs offered to residential customers. These events are held at City parks, Anaheim schools, local neighborhoods, home improvement stores, and on the Center Street Promenade near Anaheim City Hall and Anaheim West Tower during Farmer’s Market days. Each event brings in numerous customers that visit APU booths to ask questions and receive information about the programs and services provided by APU. Community outreach remains a vital activity to keep customers informed and to help APU meet its energy and water savings goals. 2018 Integrated Resource Plan
XII. Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Programs

APU also provides multiple student engagement events throughout the year for high school, junior high, and elementary school students. Students get to learn how and where APU procures its water and power. They learn about the water cycle and greenhouse gas emissions, so they can incorporate the energy efficiency and water conservation lessons into personal actions at home and on campus.
Students at the high school level participate in the design, development and management of their own California friendly demonstration gardens. Students at all levels are taught how they can be leaders in their communities by incorporating sustainability into their personal lifestyles. In addition, APU sponsors student engagement activities that include mentorships and career exploration opportunities with APU.

D. Existing Programs
In order to meet Anaheim’s annual energy efficiency goal, it is important to reach both its residential and commercial customers. Anaheim residential customers make up 85% of APU’s total customers; however, almost 75% of total load is consumed by commercial and industrial customers. A brief description and end use overview of Anaheim’s existing EE programs are shown in the following section.

E. Challenges and Future Program Development
Address Diminishing Return by Embracing Emerging Technologies The unit costs of implementing energy efficiency programs will decline with increases in scale, but at some point unit costs for the first year savings will increase due to diminishing returns. To achieve cost effectiveness, APU must identify programs and technologies that have not been impacted by the diminishing returns.
APU is dedicated to research and investment in new and emerging energy efficient technologies, such as lighting, HVAC and plug loads. Through these efforts, APU is looking into opportunities to enhance existing energy programs and expand customer participation in multi‐family developments, Commercial/Industrial/Institutional (C/I/I) upgrades, new construction projects, and residential and business customer equipment rebates.
2018 Integrated Resource Plan
XII. Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Programs
Anaheim Public Utilities
Address Evolving Communication Preference by Expanded Methods of Communication Customers today are requesting information in a variety of ways, languages, and with an expectation of 24/7 accessibility. APU is continually adapting its methods of communication with customers through social media and all forms of electronic communication.
The Latino population in Anaheim increased from 46.8% to 54.8% in 2016. Anaheim has always offered its communication materials in both English and Spanish. Most community outreach events have Spanish‐speaking staff to assist Spanish speaking customers with questions and program details. APU strives to keep pace with current technologies and be responsive to the best mechanisms to communicate with customers and offer its programs and services throughout a diverse community.
APU will continue to provide outreach events throughout the community to bring awareness and promote new programs and services. APU will also continue to expand its methods of communication through various social media outlets.
Approach Disadvantaged Communities with Targeted Outreach One of the challenges that APU faces in meeting its energy efficiency target is being able to serve the income‐qualified community in the rental housing market. Anaheim residents living in rental properties account for 50.9% of the population. However, due to the nature of some programs, consent is required from the property owners in order for income‐qualified renters to participate in the programs.
Many of APU’s incentive programs are designed to provide rebates directly to the customer account holder. However, if a renter would like to upgrade to new windows or HVAC system but does not have the homeowner’s permission, or the homeowner is not willing to pay for the improvements, the efficiency upgrades are not implemented.
APU is making a concerted effort to design and promote programs to customers in low income and disadvantaged communities within Anaheim. Please see APU’s full efforts in Section XIII. Programs for the Low Income and Disadvantaged Communities.
Two of the key assistance programs APU will promote and market moving forward will be the 1) free Home Utility Check Up program where customers receive energy and water savings measures, as well as a customized report on applicable programs and behavioral recommendations and 2) the Weatherization Program that provides free electric, gas, and water measures installed at customers’ homes at no cost. Critical to all these efforts is APU’s collaborative efforts with third parties, other utilities, other City departments, and community based organizations to provide the most comprehensive and targeted energy efficiency program and services.
2018 Integrated Resource Plan
XII. Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Programs
Anaheim Public Utilities
F. DEMAND RESPONSE PROGRAMS
F.1. VOLUNTARY LOAD REDUCTION PROGRAM
The Voluntary Load Reduction Program is designed for large commercial, industrial, institutional, and municipal customers who can curtail a minimum of 200 kW of their load within 30 minutes of being notified APU. These eligible customers are capable of assisting APU comply with a CAISO order to curtail system load during a Stage 3 Alert and/or a transmission system emergency.
A CAISO Stage 3 Alert is called when statewide operating reserves for electric generation fall below 3%, which increases the likelihood of system and regional electric system outages. In order to prevent widespread outages, the CAISO will take certain actions to ensure the stability and reliability of the State’s electric power Grid. During a Stage 3 Alert, the CAISO may institute mandatory load curtailment throughout the State for typically one to four hours to maintain system reliability when electricity usage is at its peak. APU may be ordered to participate in load curtailment if sustained high electric loads threaten blackouts throughout the State.
This voluntary program does not offer financial incentives to participants and does not include any financial penalties for not curtailing load when requested or not sustaining load curtailment during the duration of the CAISO Stage 3 Alert. Participating customers receive the benefit of eliminating the risk of unplanned total electric service outages that result from CAISO orders to curtail firm load during a Stage 3 Alert, in exchange for voluntary load reduction during the entire duration of a CAISO Stage 3 Alert.
The economic benefits to participating customers are a function of the savings realized from a coordinated interruption of individual business processes and the expected risk of a CAISO ordered load curtailment event. For those customers that maintain continued participation in this program, APU bypasses, where feasible, that customer’s circuit from mandatory rotating outages during an order by the CAISO to curtail load.
Currently APU has 10,688 kW of load in the Voluntary Load Reduction Program that includes business customers, City properties, and water pump stations.
F.2. MYPOWER SAVINGS PROGRAM
APU currently has a one‐year pilot residential demand response program named myPower Savings Program.
It is based on behavioral demand response, and APU plans on calling events and sending dispatch signals to enrolled customers based on criteria such as high wholesale energy prices, CAISO Alert or Warning notices, system emergencies, and extreme or unexpected weather conditions. Events are limited to non‐holiday weekdays, and the total number of events is capped during the program duration.
Eligible customers can receive a one‐time bill credit for enrolling in the program. When a program event is called, APU notifies enrolled customers of the upcoming event by email or text message based on customers’ preferences. Enrolled customers have the freedom to reduce energy consumption however 2018 Integrated Resource Plan
XII. Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Programs
Anaheim Public Utilities
they wish during the event hours, and they can also earn bill credits based on the kilowatt‐hour (kWh) they reduce.
During the pilot period, APU assesses enrollment, customer participation, and actual performance during program events. The program was officially launched in July 2017, and six myPower Savings Events had been called thus far. The total estimated amount of kWh reduction of these events is 794 kWh.
The expected peak and load impact from the pilot program is deemed negligible. In addition, future program design is contingent upon measurable results from the pilot program. As such, APU does not include the impacts of demand response programs in its peak load and energy forecast at this time. APU anticipates conducting phase two of the pilot myPower Savings Program from July 2018 through June 2019 by expanding the program City‐wide, and based on the outcome, APU may determine appropriate estimates of peak and load impacts.

Anaheim Public Utilities
XIII. PROGRAMS FOR THE LOW INCOME AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES A. DEFINITION OF LOW INCOME AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES Pursuant to Senate Bill 535 (De León), disadvantaged communities (DACs) are communities designated by
CalEPA, using the California Communities Environmental
Health Screening Tool (“CalEnviroScreen”).
Beyond the CalEnviroScreen defined DACs, Anaheim
maintains information about the different types of neighborhoods of concern within the City. The areas that Anaheim provides assistance to include:
Disadvantaged Communities as defined by Proposition 84 Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Guidelines (2015).
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)21 areas as defined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Essentially, Anaheim’s communities of concern include geographic areas greater than the CalEnviroScreen‐defined DAC areas. The graph below is a comparison of DACs as defined by CalEnviroScreen versus the CDBG areas. The CDBG area is greater than the DAC area. For the purpose of this IRP, the DAC and CDBG areas are utilized to demostrate APU efforts in reaching out to the low income and disadvnataged communities (LI‐DACs).

B. INTERDEPARTMENTAL STRATEGIES
The City of Anaheim has strong interdepartmental ties and APU works closely with Community and Economic
Development, Public Works (Streets and Transportation), Planning and Community Services (which includes Parks and Libraries).
APU participates in a biweekly Interdepartmental Review Committee that examines all new proposed and
rehabilitation projects. APU assists the other departments with their respective environmental and community health goals in particular, as it pertains to disadvantaged communities.
Below are examples of inter‐departmental collaboration to ensure that investments are made in the City’s most vulnerable communities.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
APU projects that approximately 750 new affordable housing units will be
developed over the next 3 to 5 years, and works closely with the Community and Economic Development Department in writing RFPs for affordable housing developers. In these RFPs, APU requests enhanced energy efficiency requirements beyond Title 24 and the inclusion of at least two (2) fully functional Level 2 charging stations for electric vehicles. Both of these additionally requested elements are incentivized by APU. These additionally requested elements improve emissions reduction and promote transportation electrification within LI‐DACs.
PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
APU works with the Planning Department and Community and Economic Development Department on new, private developments to identify and leverage
opportunities to improve the
quality of life within LI‐DACs. APU provides funding for eligible project elements such as weatherization, shade trees, and electric vehicle charging and tracks the following projects closely:
Transitional housing shelters

STREET REPLACEMENT PROJECTS
The Public Works Department identifies approximately two neighborhoods a year that are in need of street replacement. These neighborhoods are frequently located within LI‐DACs. APU funds and installs LED street lights simultaneously with the street replacement. In addition, the Weatherization Program is offered to all qualifying properties and residences so that residences are enhanced at the same time.
INCOME ‐QUALIFIED RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION
APU coordinates with Community and Economic
Development on an income‐qualified Residential
Rehabilitation Program that provides forgivable loans to homeowners for major home improvements or repairs.
APU funds the weatherization portion of the
rehabilitation, including
roof repairs, siding repairs,
window repairs, and insulation.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS AT CITY SITES
APU has collaborated with the Community Services Department to identify two community center sites as a pilot project to install two Level 2 vehicle chargers at each. If proven successful, the pilot will expand into
an annual program to install chargers at City sites with first priority within the disadvantaged or low income communities. In addition to community center and park sites, other public spaces are also examined for possible electric vehicle charging stations, such as libraries, police stations, and fire stations.

EXPANDED CUSTOMER EDUCATION
APU hosts a number of educational courses that
can be used for both professional development and home improvement. These classes include energy
efficiency for facilities managers and energy managers, water efficient landscaping to improve greenhouse gas reduction, and other climate and energy related classes that teach best practices.
Traditionally, these courses were only offered through the Public Utilities Department. Going forward, APU will host these courses through the Community Services Department and aim for a broader reach into LI‐DACs.
Classes will be advertised in Anaheim’s recreation catalogue and offered to residences and small business owners in community centers throughout Anaheim.
EXPANDED CUSTOMER OUTREACH
APU has historically participated in Community Services hosted neighborhood events, such as neighborhood cleanup and other activities in the
neighborhoods of concerns. This allows APU to
reach out to communities that may not have means
to obtain information on APU’s programs.
Research has shown that associating programs with
public libraries increases trust that utility efficiency programs are legitimate in low income and
immigrant communities.
APU now also partners with the Library Division and reaches families that do not typically have time or resources to visit APU booths during scheduled community events. Anaheim’s Library Division operates a bookmobile that makes 24 different neighborhood visits annually within LI‐DACs. During these visits, APU distributes energy efficient devices such as lightbulbs, and shares information on energy efficiency incentives and assistance programs.
In addition, APU is working with the Planning and Housing Departments to develop training programs for the Code Enforcement officers and Section 8 inspectors regarding incentives and assistance programs available to qualified residents and property owners. The officers and inspectors are often at the front lines when working with customers in the City’s neighborhoods of concern. After equipping the officers and inspectors with program information, APU can reach more customers going forward.

C. APU STRATEGIES
In addition to all energy efficiency programs and rebates offered to all customers, APU has programs available to specifically assist residents in the neighborhoods of concern.
ENHANCED DATA ANALYTICS
Enhanced data analytics is utilized to maximize disadvantaged residents’ participation in efficiency programs. As an example, through data analytics, APU found that a significant majority of the customers who participated in the Home Utility Checkup Program were within LI‐DACs. In addition, many participants were simply having trouble paying bills and wanted to reduce the consumption for financial reasons.
Graph 75: Map of Home Utility Checkup by Dollar Spent 2016‐2017
With this knowledge, the Home Utility Checkup is now enhanced to include one‐stop education opportunities on how efficiency can be managed, and other programs that customers may be eligible for, such as the Weatherization Program that provides direct install measures to income‐qualified customers.
The Weatherization Program provides smart thermostats, LED lighting, duct repairs, and many other home improvement and energy efficient devices. Traditionally, the Home Utility Checkup and Weatherization Programs are provided by two different vendors. APU is working to train the Home Utility Checkup contractors on income verification in order to pre‐qualify customers for weatherization, so that the two programs appear seamless to APU's customers. For customers who have participated in the past, APU plans to go back and offer weatherization.

APU routinely conducts customer feedback surveys. Methods on reaching out and methods on improving APU's service for low income customers are part of the surveys. With customer feedback, APU's outreach team targets the LI‐DAC neighborhoods with fliers in Spanish and English and information designed for broader reach within these communities.
LOW INCOME DISCOUNT AND BILL ASSISTANCE
APU offers multiple bill assistance programs and rate discounts for customers in need.
The Income‐Qualified Senior, Long‐Term Disabled, and Military Veteran Energy Discount Program provide a 10% discount on residential electric charges for income‐qualified senior, long‐term disabled, and military veterans. A medical lifeline allowance, which provides additional energy at the lowest tiered rate, is also offered to customers who rely on medical equipment powered by electricity.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
program helps income‐qualified residents receive financial assistance for their utility bill and other energy needs.
Customers who are facing hardship can also receive forgiveness for one electric utility bill. In addition, APU provides arrears payment plans for customers that have fallen behind and prepayment plans for customers that would like assistance in budgeting their month‐to‐month consumption.
TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION
APU’s disadvantaged communities are primarily along freeway corridors. The air quality associated with freeway corridors is a major contributor to health concerns. Through its transportation electrification programs, APU reduces area pollutants along freeway corridors and improves quality of life within the disadvantage communities. Please see the Transportation Electrification section for more information.

A. CUSTOMER SURVEY SUMMARY
In late 2016, APU retained a market research and consulting firm to gain a better understanding of customers’ thoughts and preferences regarding APU’s plans to increase renewable power to 50% by 2030, reduce coal power to zero as contracts expire, and doing so over a 10‐year period to help keep the impact on electric rates to a minimum. This outreach consisted of a series of surveys conducted over a period of five months starting in early 2017, and reached nearly 1,200 APU customers including residential, large businesses, small‐to‐medium business customers, high school students, and Anaheim’s Latino Utilities Coalition representatives.
The survey results showed high satisfaction with APU services. Customers indicated they are likely to contact APU for advice on solar and other distributed generation, and feel that APU will offer fair and balanced advice. Customers also expressed high support of the IRP plan to eliminate coal and reach a renewable energy target of 50% by 2030. However, they expressed concern with potential rate impacts should APU procure renewables beyond 50%.
B. CUSTOMER SURVEY TYPES
Two types of surveys were conducted: controlled surveys and open surveys.
CONTROLLED SURVEYS – RESIDENTIAL AND LARGE BUSINESS CUSTOMERS The controlled surveys were conducted by invitation only, with samples selected via a random statistical approach for the residential customers and by business representation for the large business customers.
A controlled survey collects additional user demographics data for analysis and offers greater precision.
According to the 2015 census, 19% of Anaheim’s population are primarily Spanish speaking; as such, the residential survey was made available in both English and Spanish.
Also according to the 2015 census, 53% of Anaheim housing units are renter‐occupied. To ensure correct representation, the survey’s sampling results were weighted by renters versus homeowners percentage to ensure it is reflective of the general population. Several key residential survey topics were analyzed by income level and also by renters vs. homeowners.

Appendix B – Public Engagement
Anaheim Public Utilities
OPEN SURVEYS – ALL CUSTOMERS
In addition to the controlled surveys, APU further extended an open survey which was available in English and Spanish to all APU customers. Mail inserts, email invitations, and website announcements were used to encourage customer participation over a four month period.
The open surveys were conducted without a random sampling selection. As such, minimal customer demographic data was collected due to the uncontrolled nature of the survey.
APU examined the open survey results to capture customer input, along with comparisons and contrasts versus the controlled survey results to identify differences, if any.

LATINO UTILITIES COALITION REPRESENTATIVES
The Latino Utilities Coalition (LUC) is an outreach and advocacy group established by APU to help solicit input and feedback on utility matters pertaining to the Latino community. Members are comprised of community leaders, City policy makers, school administrators, concerned citizens, and members of the business community.
2018 Integrated Resource Plan
Appendix B – Public Engagement
Anaheim Public Utilities
The key goals of the LUC include: provide community outreach and education on utility services and programs; improve communication with the Latino customers; and explore collaborative opportunities to support the Latino community.
During the May 2017 LUC meeting, APU facilitated a roundtable discussion regarding the sustainable energy options. 19 surveys were collected to assist the development of the IRP and other APU programs.
D. SURVEY TOPICS AND SUMMARY RESULTS
APU sought customer input on the following topics: customer satisfaction, perceived value of services, energy sustainability, planning for future electric needs, perceived air quality, rooftop solar, community solar, electric cars, and energy efficiency. The survey results are summarized below:
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND PERCEIVED VALUE OF SERVICES Customer satisfaction sets the tone of the survey. When customers are satisfied with APU, they tend to agree with APU’s plan for the future. This set of questions was intended to assess customer satisfaction with APU services; and if satisfaction has improved, stayed the same, or worsened. Customers were also asked about their perceived value of APU services for the price they pay.
Customers from all surveys overwhelmingly expressed their high satisfaction of APU electric services. 74% of Anaheim residential customers from the controlled survey awarded APU a top three box (8, 9, and 10 on 0‐10 scale) score or “very satisfied” rating. As a point of reference, the California Municipal Utilities Association’s (CMUA) 2016 Statewide Residential Survey found municipal customers statewide offering a 55% “very satisfied” score. This means APU’s residential customer satisfaction is significantly – 19 points – higher. The residential open survey observed similar results; with 75% of the survey respondents awarding APU a “very satisfied” rating.

APU’s customer satisfaction rated by small‐to‐medium businesses is in line with the 2015 CMUA statewide survey for Business and Key Accounts Customers, which included both small‐to‐medium and large business customers. Notably, APU’s customer satisfaction rated by large business customers is significantly – 19 points – higher than statewide municipal customers’ average results. In addition, 46% of large business customers felt satisfaction has improved. The survey results validated APU’s efforts to continuously improve customer satisfaction.

ENERGY SUSTAINABILITY
In this section, customers were asked about their thoughts on the use of renewable energy. Customers generally expressed their support of renewable energy such as wind, solar, biogas, and geothermal.
Large business customers expressed the highest level of support for renewable energy, followed by residential customers. Residential responses from the controlled and open surveys observed similar results. While the majority of small‐to‐medium businesses still expressed support of renewable energy, this group offered a moderately lower level of support.

PLANNING FOR FUTURE ELECTRIC NEEDS
1. Support of the IRP Approach
This section touched on the center of the APU’s IRP approach to further reduce carbon emission and increase the use of renewable energy resources. APU plans to increase renewable power to 50% by 2030, reduce coal power to zero as contracts expire, and doing this over a 10‐year period to keep the impact on electric rates to a minimum. Customers were asked to rate how strongly they support or oppose this approach.
Similar to the previous section, the majority of the customers expressed support of such an IRP approach. The controlled and open residential survey observed similar responses. The customer group expressing the highest level of support were the large business customers.
Graph 79: Customer Survey – Support of IRP Approach
2. Support for Greater than 50% RPS
Moving beyond a 50% RPS will likely cause upward pressure on customer rates due to the costs associated with existing long‐term contracts, owned generation assets, and the integration of renewable energy resources to the energy grid. All customers were asked how strongly they support or oppose going above a 50% RPS and any associated impact on rates.
Less than one third of customers in all customer categories expressed strong support of going above 50% renewable when facing rate increases, indicating most APU customers are sensitive to any potential rate increase associated with going beyond a 50% RPS.

AIR QUALITY
These questions were intended to collect information regarding customers’ thoughts about local air quality and their thoughts on what may be affecting local air quality. Quantitative responses as well as open‐ended questions were both used to collect customer input. Responses were only sought from residential and small‐to‐medium business customers.
The survey results showed that 43% residential and 49% small‐to‐medium customers believe they experience excellent air quality (scored 8 to 10 on a scale of 0‐10). On a scale of 0 to 10, the average score for all customers surveyed was 7 for residential and 7.3 for business customers.

With the controlled residential survey, respondents were also asked if air quality has improved, stayed the same, or worsened. For those responding “improved” or “gotten worse”, they were encouraged to share the contributing factors under an open‐ended question.
Customers mostly contributed worsened air quality to the following factors (listed in the order of frequency):
‐ Cars/traffic/freeway
‐ High density housing/population explosion
‐ Manufacturers
‐ Fires/fireworks
To improve air quality, APU recognizes the importance of transportation electrification and supports it with a variety of programs. More details can be found in Section X. Transportation Electrification
ROOFTOP SOLAR AND DISTRIBUTED GENERATION
This section asked all customers if they own solar panels, if they are satisfied with their solar panels, and how likely is it that they will acquire rooftop solar panels within the next three years. The large business customers were asked additional questions regarding their thoughts on onsite distributed generation including fuel cell and micro turbines.
The survey results indicated some growth potential for the next three years, with the largest growth opportunity in large businesses, followed by residential customers. The survey results were used in the demand forecast for solar growth. (See Section VI. Energy Demand and Peak Forecasts for discussions related to expected solar impact to APU energy demand and peak demand.) Customers also expressed overall satisfaction with their existing solar or distributed generation systems.
In addition, they are very likely to ask APU for advice, and believe APU would offer fair and balanced advice.

COMMUNITY SOLAR
Community Solar is a concept in which customers that are unable or unwilling to install solar panels at their home receive solar energy from a central solar facility owned and operated by APU. Participating customers receive the environmental benefits of solar power without the risks associated with ownership, but pay a premium price on their electric bill for the solar energy received.
Residential and small‐to‐medium businesses were asked about their interest in community solar. A small percentage of customers expressed interest in paying a premium price for community solar.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
In this section, customers were asked if they have participated in one or more of APU’s energy efficiency programs; and if yes, how satisfied they were with the results or benefits. Customers were also asked about what motivated them to use energy more efficiently.
Large business customers have the highest energy efficiency participation rate amongst all customer groups. 79% of large business customers have participated in EE programs. The controlled residential respondents had the lowest participation rate of 15%. Similarly, large businesses have the highest satisfaction ratings, followed by residential and small‐to‐medium commercial customers.

The survey results were incorporated in APU’s energy efficiency program design. More details may be found in Section XII. Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Programs and Section XIII. Programs for the Low Income and Disadvantaged Communities
DEMAND RESPONSE
APU’s large business customers were asked whether or not they have interruptible processes, and if so, what was their interest in receiving compensation for APU’s right to interrupt their electric service during an electrical event. One third of customers surveyed have interruptible processes, and among them the interruptible processes represent 62% of their power usage; 36% are interested in receiving compensation for APU’s right to interrupt electric services.
Graph 90: Customer Survey – Large Business Customers Demand Response Potential
E. RESIDENTIAL ANALYSIS BY INCOME LEVEL
The controlled residential survey was further analyzed by respondents’ income levels to evaluate the effectiveness of APU programs and services offered that reach the low income and disadvantaged communities (LI‐DACs). APU provides many programs that are available to, or specifically designed for, customers in LI‐DACs. The survey results are viewed as a growth opportunity to perform targeted outreach, extend inter‐departmental collaboration, and develop new programs specifically designed for residents located in LI‐DACs. Details of such efforts can be found in Section XIII. Programs for the Low Income and Disadvantaged Communities.
Survey results by homeownership showed disparate responses in the topics of air quality and participation in efficiency programs. Homeowners were more likely to report excellent air quality, improved air quality, and participation in energy efficiency programs.
2018 Integrated Resource Plan
Appendix B – Public Engagement
Anaheim Public Utilities
Note that survey respondents generally attributed the improved air quality to reduced vehicle emissions, and worsened air quality in more traffic and cars. As such, APU focuses on transportation electrification to improve air quality throughout the service area, with early emphasis on LI‐DACs. For details, see Section X. Transportation Electrification.
APU also recognizes challenges in reaching renters and developing renter‐specific energy efficiency programs. Discussions on how to address such barriers can be found in Section XIII. Programs for the Low Income and Disadvantaged Communities.

F. OTHER SURVEY RESULTS
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Compared to adult respondents, high school students are more supportive of renewables and would be willing to pay more to obtain higher renewable penetration. Similarly, high school students showed overwhelming support toward solar panels and higher support of electric vehicles than adult survey respondents.
The only area where adults had a higher response rate was in the participation of energy efficiency programs. High school students did not seem to have overall awareness of the energy efficiency programs available, and were not certain which programs their families might have participated in.
Many students also asked, “Why are renewables more expensive?” In future education outreach events, APU may introduce students to energy efficiency programs available and to various components of the power supply and renewable integration costs as appropriate.
LATINO UTILITIES COALITION
Consistent with other survey types, the Latino Utilities Coalition (LUC) expressed overall support of renewable energy and the IRP plan. APU specifically asked LUC representatives regarding their thoughts about the Solar for Schools program. Respondents were highly supportive of this program. 2018 Integrated Resource Plan

B. REGULATORY RISK
PERFORMANCE MEASURE VARIABLE MIXED BASELOAD
Regulatory Risk 3 2 1
Objective:
To minimize risk associated with new regulations, the portfolio should have high flexibility to absorb additional renewable resources beyond the current 50% target and should have low emissions.
A portfolio is considered lower risk and more flexible if it 1) has funding available to cover additional purchases needed to meet new regulations and 2) is diverse, which lowers restrictions for the type of resources that may be added to the portfolio.
Lower expected portfolio cost ‐> greater flexibility ‐> higher grade. Higher portfolio diversification ‐> greater flexibility ‐> higher grade. (Please see the Expected Cost Matrix and the Portfolio Diversification Matrix for more detail.) REGULATORY RISK GRADING MATRIX Grade:
1) Identify the total net cost of each portfolio (see "Expected Cost" Matrix) 2) Identify the diversification of each portfolio (see "Portfolio Diversification" Matrix)

Conclusion:
1) Each portfolio requires capacity purchases to meet system capacity requirements
2) The Variable Portfolio requires the most amount of purchases over the study period, followed by the Mixed and Baseload Portfolios
Grade:
Higher grade is awarded to portfolios with lower required purchases amounts. Even though the Baseload and Mixed require the same amount of capacity purchases, the cost is slightly higher in the Mixed Portfolio (due to timing and escalation rate of purchase price). Therefore, the Baseload Portfolio is graded the highest, followed by the Mixed and Variable Portfolios.
