“Renewable Energy in California Today” Key TakeawaysCA has been ahead of current milestones to meet renewable generation mandate, however, there are notable issues that could be exacerbated by the 100% renewable objective of SB100
• Renewable energy has shifted the hourly profile for gas fired generation, making the late-afternoon ramp needs most critical to California
• Economic curtailment of renewable generation, especially for wind has steadily increased over time
• Electric rates paid by California consumers have continued to rise, largely driven by decline total load and CCA. If electric rates continue to rise, customers will be more likely to leave the grid, creating a death spiral
• Gas constraints has impacted wholesale electric prices which could trigger a quicker movement to renewables in the short term

Curtailed Renewable Energy
21
Curtailed Renewable Energy Provide Opportunities for Electric Vehicles, Hydrogen Gas, and New Time-of-Use Tariffs
Lowest Curtailment Week (Late Aug – Early Sept 4)• Electric curtailment highest during April – June primarily due to solar generation
• On a weekly basis, curtailed energy could power up to 10 Million electric vehicles
• Day-time peak hour prices will become lower than off-peak night time due to solar generation output
Investment Costs
22
Transmission, Distribution and Battery Investment Costs to meet SB 100 objectives will increase the electric rates in California
SB 100 will require• Renewable generation capacity
development• Transmission improvement to
transmit renewable energy to load centers
• Improvement in distribution infrastructure, including battery storage

Energy Storage
• Longer term storage solutions
• Power to Gas, Flow batteries
Transmission Build
• Facilitate exports to WECC and beyond
• Significant costs & environmental impacts
Renewables Overbuild
• Renewables curtailment
• Export capabilities
• Land access and environmental costs
Broaden RE Definition
• Include gas & Renewable Energy Credits
• Flexible resources become key

Evolving Roles of CAISO, CARB, CPUC to determine SB 100 Rules
Today’s Key Takeaways• Electric load growth and electric vehicles can help
alleviate renewable energy curtailment and meet GHG reduction targets
• Economic incentives to build wind and solar generation must exist in order to meet SB 100 goals
• Inter and Intra-regional transmission upgrades needed to move solar and out of state wind generation to electric loads in California
• Trajectory of battery and energy storage cost declines will determine the rate of procurement and utilization
