Vice Mayor Hamilton
Attended first Peninsula Clean Energy Board of Directors meeting on April 27th and unanimously approved many administrative items. Will report on most interesting items.
Approved a $142 million contract for 180 megawatt hours of electric storage capacity at a storage facility near Barstow. This storage capacity is a big step toward PCE renewable energy at night. A lot of that comes from solar so having the storage capacity is gong to get them to that goal.
Also approved amended language in the PCE's board policies to address diversity equity accessible and inclusion. Approved language for several existing policies ad gave staff direction to meet with labor and environmental justice groups to gather input on extending similar language to the rest of the policies and bring those back PCE executive committees and the full board within three months. Lastly, received a report on the CPUC's sunsetting of NFS to install solar by allowing them to sell back excess generated energy back to the grid at rates to help them recoup the installation costs of solar. The NEM 3.0 program rolled out in April reduces these incentives to allow the incentive program to remain sustainable and under NEM 2.0 the average homeowner would recoup their solar costs in 4-5 years. Under the new rules this average extends to 8-9 years. •
