Preferred CA Loading Order

• Energy Efficiency - programs that require
  buildings and appliances to be constructed in a
  manner that uses less energy, including education
  and training
• Demand Response - dynamic rate pricing and demand
  response incentives for peak reduction
• Renewable Generation (RPS) - wind, solar,
  geothermal, biomass -
• Distributed Generation - PV, wind, fuelcells,
  cogeneration

Integrated Energy Management
5
Why Energy Efficiency?

• A history of success CA is celebrating 30 years
  of EE programs and is operating the largest, most
  diverse portfolio of programs anywhere.
• Customer Benefits Customers benefit from lower
  bills, better buildings and live/work
  environments, and better competitiveness.
• Utility/State Benefits
• Energy efficiency programs are far more cost
  effective to meet CA energy demand than building
  new generation or spot market purchases during
  peak periods at a ratio of 1.61
• Economic Benefits Energy Efficiency savings and
  investments stimulate the CA economy and job
  growth.
• Environment EE is key in reducing greenhouse gas
  emissions and reaching AB32 goals
• ,

30 Years of Energy Efficiency Success

• Energy efficiency programs have helped keep per
  capita electricity consumption in California flat
  over the past 30 years
• PGEs programs alone have avoided the release of
  over 125 million tons of CO2 into the
  atmosphere over the same period
• Equivalent to taking more than 17 million cars
  off the road for a year
