Energy Opportunity Primer BC MAYO YORS RS Climate Leadership Council

Comparative Analysis of “Fuels” Cost per gigajoule • Total variable costs of the delivered fuel included, 38.28 35.54 (utility-delivered fuels 23.20 have many components) 19.44 12.00 • The costs are BC average prices (2014) and include Mobility Heating Oil Propane Electricity Natural Gas delivery charges where Fuels applicable. • Aside from coal, oil- based fuels like gasoline, Greenhouse Gasses per gigajoule diesel, and heating oil are the most GHG- intensive per unit of energy. • In BC, electricity is 0.072 0.070 0.060 0.051 0.007 nearly GHG-free Mobility Heating Oil Propane Natural Gas Electricity Fuels BC MAYO YORS RS Climate Leadership Council

Per-Capita Emissions by Community within NCLGA • Each community has its own starting point for energy and emissions, and its own specific opportunities • There are also some opportunities that are best pursued regionally BC MAYO YORS RS Climate Leadership Council

Energy is Money • Over $ 1 Billion annually spent on energy, mostly on residential and commercial transportation rd Transportation Electricity Natural Gas Total Buckley-Nechako $ 123,859,427 $ 36,958,402 $ 10,994,330 $ 171,812,159 • Does not include Cariboo $ 177,365,669 $ 59,340,975 $ 20,565,870 $ 257,272,514 Fraser Fort George $ 262,832,806 $ 83,580,224 $ 38,707,420 $ 385,120,450 large industry Kitimat-Stikine $ 85,084,065 $ 36,625,960 $ 9,647,200 $ 131,357,225 Northern Rockies $ 31,760,118 $ 7,367,114 $ 5,347,860 $ 44,475,092 Peace $ 211,925,501 $ 65,957,444 $ 36,559,400 $ 314,442,345 Skeena-Queen Charlotte $ 32,177,630 $ 21,541,950 $ 4,806,860 $ 58,526,440 Total $ 925,005,216 $ 311,372,069 $ 126,628,940 $ 1,363,006,225 TOTAL ANNUAL ENERGY SPEND Natural Gas, $126,628,940 Electricity, $311,372,069 Transportation, $925,005,216 BC MAYO YORS RS Climate Leadership Council

NCLGA Context NCLGA Capitol RD POP: 330,000 POP: 330,000 AREA: 650,000 sq km AREA: 696 sq km The rural and dispersed nature of the population in the North demands solutions that are innovative, collaborative and reflective of the local challenges and opportunities .

Strategies for addressing buildings, waste, and transportation at the community scale • Tools for policy, regulation, practice, infrastructure and incentive exist for all areas below. • Some are stronger (organics diversion, district energy service areas) and some have a lighter influence (sustainability checklists, marketing, ‘encouraging’) BC MAYO YORS RS Climate Leadership Council

EV Role in Transportation • Electric Vehicles can be one part of an integrated plan for transportation Fuel - Electrify what is left of the passenger fleet and / or biofuels, biofuels and natural gas for the heavy-duty fleet 4 4 Fuel Vehicle Efficiency - Reduce size of vehicles and improve engine efficiency, right-size vehicles to the need, minimize the tonnes of 3 Vehicle 3 steel being moved to move a person Efficiency Mode Shift - Shift remaining kilometers travelled to 2 Mode Shift 2 cycling, walking, public transit, ride-sharing and out of the single-occupant vehicle Trip Distance Reduction - Reduce need for 1 Trip Distance Reduction 1 vehicle travel through urban form and transportation demand management BC MAYO YORS RS Climate Leadership Council

Big Opportunities for the NCLGA • Buildings • Sign on to stretch code in 2017 for new buildings in a consistent way across the region • Require Energuide rating for major renovations • Utility program for low income renovations • Biomass and heat pumps • Transportation • Electric Vehicles (plug-in hybrid and battery-electric) charging network • Ongoing transit improvements • Waste • Organics diversion • Organization • Shared Community Energy Manager(s) BC MAYO YORS RS Climate Leadership Council

Actions 2014 CARIP reports for the region show 245 actions to save local governments, businesses, and residents energy, emissions, and money.
