PAEC goals and objectives

In order for the PAEC to be successful, replicable, and aligned with the California’s energy vision, it must meet these strategic goals: A high percentage of power in the coverage regions will be generated from local, renewable sources. The energy used by residential and business customers will be used as efficiently as possible. New commercial construction will consist of 100% zero net energy buildings before the CEC’s 2030 Title 24 requirement. More than 50% of existing commercial buildings in the coverage regions will be retrofitted to zero net energy before the CEC’s 2030 Title 24 requirement. Approval of AEC projects will be quick and efficient, and capital to fund AEC projects readily available to be disbursed. Interconnecting local renewables to the electrical grid will be straightforward. The grid will be stable, robust, and reliable. Energy storage will be affordable and widespread. Electric transportation will replace the internal combustion engine and electric vehicles in the coverage regions will support the grid. Solar Emergency Microgrids will be installed at all critical facilities, including police and fire stations, emergency operations centers, and emergency shelters.

Our 2020 objectives

From 2020 onward, at least 80% of all electricity from new generating facilities in the United States will be from renewable energy sources. From 2020 onward, at least 25% of all electricity from new generating facilities in the United States will be from local renewable energy sources. Locally generated electricity does not travel over the transmission grid to get from the location it is generated to where it is consumed. By 2020, policies and programs are well established for ensuring successful fulfillment of the other two objectives. Policies reflect the full value of local renewable energy. Programs prove the superiority of local energy systems in terms of economics, environment, and resilience; and in terms of timeliness.
