The California Regulated Utility Financial Structure
How PG&E makes money,
and why it can support energy efficiency and conservation.

California’s regulated utilities cover most of the state.
PG&E Southern California

They are essentially monopolies in their respective territories, and so need to be regulated.
CPUC
The California Public Utilities Commission is the regulatory body.
![Page 8: Integrating Energy Efficiency and Renewables in Home Retrofits...$0 $25 $50 $75 $100 $125 $150 $175 $200 49 $82.64 84 $86.04 $87.75 $101.44 14 95 84 00 $134.74 $0 5 $50 $75 00 25 $150](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042711/5f72d18cccf77078f355bf58/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
30 years ago, the utilities made money like most businesses: on profits from sales.
Energy Sales Profits
The more energy they sold, the more profit they made.
![Page 9: Integrating Energy Efficiency and Renewables in Home Retrofits...$0 $25 $50 $75 $100 $125 $150 $175 $200 49 $82.64 84 $86.04 $87.75 $101.44 14 95 84 00 $134.74 $0 5 $50 $75 00 25 $150](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042711/5f72d18cccf77078f355bf58/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Also 30 years ago, California’s power consumption was rising rapidly, along with the rest of the country.
U.S. Per-capita power California consumption.
![Page 10: Integrating Energy Efficiency and Renewables in Home Retrofits...$0 $25 $50 $75 $100 $125 $150 $175 $200 49 $82.64 84 $86.04 $87.75 $101.44 14 95 84 00 $134.74 $0 5 $50 $75 00 25 $150](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042711/5f72d18cccf77078f355bf58/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Projecting this into the future made people realize that it was not sustainable, and that something needed to be done.
Very high utility bills
Many more new power plants
Serious environmental consequences
![Page 11: Integrating Energy Efficiency and Renewables in Home Retrofits...$0 $25 $50 $75 $100 $125 $150 $175 $200 49 $82.64 84 $86.04 $87.75 $101.44 14 95 84 00 $134.74 $0 5 $50 $75 00 25 $150](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042711/5f72d18cccf77078f355bf58/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
We needed to lower people’s energy usage, but how? The utility companies had to be involved, but how could you require them to encourage less energy usage, since their profits and business model depended on more sales?
Conclusion: The utility financial structure must change.

Since 1978 (gas) and 1982 (electricity) California’s regulated utilities have made profits on INVESTMENTS, not SALES.
These investments are directed by the CPUC and include energy efficiency and conservation.
![Page 14: Integrating Energy Efficiency and Renewables in Home Retrofits...$0 $25 $50 $75 $100 $125 $150 $175 $200 49 $82.64 84 $86.04 $87.75 $101.44 14 95 84 00 $134.74 $0 5 $50 $75 00 25 $150](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042711/5f72d18cccf77078f355bf58/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Example of EE investment and target:
1.The CPUC authorizes PG&E to spend the money to give away 1,000,000 CFLs.
2.The target over 3 years is to reduce electric consumption [xx] mWh.
3. If PG&E makes the target they can set rates so that they earn [x]% for their shareholders.
4. If they exceed the target they can earn more, if they miss the target they earn less or even get penalized.
![Page 15: Integrating Energy Efficiency and Renewables in Home Retrofits...$0 $25 $50 $75 $100 $125 $150 $175 $200 49 $82.64 84 $86.04 $87.75 $101.44 14 95 84 00 $134.74 $0 5 $50 $75 00 25 $150](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042711/5f72d18cccf77078f355bf58/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
California utilities have NO incentive to increase energy usage. They DO have mandates and incentives for energy efficiency, conservation, and renewables.
The result? California, and PG&E, is the leader in energy efficiency and renewable generation.

Foundations of Home Performance
• Focus on performance rather than products – “when all you have is a hammer…”
• Holistic approach to analyzing systems – “when we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it
hitched to everything else in the Universe.” • John Muir
• Solution based approach • Building science

Nature Out of Balance
Natures forces are always trying to reach equilibrium insides and out while we are trying to maintain consistent temperature, humidity, etc on the INSIDE only.

Heat Flow
• Heat travels from hot to cold. • No absence of heat
• Heat does not rise! • Hot Air rises. • Heat can only be slowed, it cannot be stopped

37
Heat Flow
• Forms of Heat Transfer – Conduction is the transfer of heat energy between objects that are in
contact • touching a hot iron is one form of conduction
– Convection is a mechanism for heat transfer in gases and liquids; it requires air or liquid movement to transfer heat
• a hair dryer moves heat this way
– Radiation is the transfer of heat in the infrared spectrum, and will occur even in the vacuum of space
• how the sun's warmth reaches us

Pressure
• We study and track the transport of Air, Heat and Moisture with these principles – Hot moves to cold – High pressure moves to low pressure

Pressures
Driving Forces: • Stack Effect – the taller the building, the
more pronounced the stack effect.
• Wind Effect – wind creates a positive pressure on the windward side of the building and a negative pressure on the leeward side of the building.
• Mechanical Systems – Fans, HVAC

Energy Metrics
Gas Electricity
BTU: British Thermal Unit Energy required to raise 1 lb. of water 1 degree F. Therm = 100,000 BTUs
Watt Energy of 1 amp current flowing across 1 ohm resistance Kilowatt = x 1000 Megawatt = x 1,000,000
= Watt-hour = 3.4 BTU BTU = .29 Watt-hours Kilowatt-hour = 3,413 BTU
kWh = .03413 Therms Therm = 29.3 Kilowatt-hours
No time factor Usage is total embodied heat
Time factor Usage is power over time (kWh)

Bill Analysis
Use to determine baseload and seasonal variations Can often infer specific appliance usage.
Baseload is usage that is always there year-round. • Gas baseload can include: water heating, cooking,
clothes drying • Electric baseload can include: lights, appliances,
water heating, pools, ponds
Typical seasonal variations • Gas: space heating • Electric: air conditioning

Demand Management Strategies
1. Reduce overall load. -- Energy efficiency, conservation
2. Inform people so they can cooperate voluntarily. -- Publicity, “Flex Your Power” alerts
3. Create the ability to remotely turn off certain appliances. -- Smart AC
4. Monitor energy usage in real time. -- Smart Meters
5. Charge more for peak usage. -- Time-of-Use rates, Peak-Time pricing

Air Conditioning: Specs
Efficiency • EER / SEER rating • (Seasonal) Energy Efficiency Ratio • BTU of cooling / watt-hour of electricity • Higher SEER = more efficiency
• Old systems typically around 7 - 10, newer ones up to 18 and above
Do the Math 3 ton AC uses 2.7 kW/hr 36,000 / 2,700 = 13.3 = 13 SEER

Assessing Existing AC System
• Primary goal to find SEER • Look for nameplate on compressor • Check model number • Check manufacturing date • Possibly call distributors in the area • Get electrical usage (draw)

Air Conditioning: Upgrade
• SEER ratings depend on combination of outdoor and indoor units, plus thermostat.
• To get full SEER must replace condenser, coil (evaporator), refrigerant and thermostat.
• Must have “communicating equipment”.
• In combo furnace unit, can replace coil separately or go with full unit, also giving high-efficiency heater.
• ALWAYS check/upgrade ductwork as well.

Ballasts
• Required for all discharge lamps – Fluorescent – High Intensity Discharge
• What does a ballast do? – Supplies sufficient voltage to start the lamp – Regulates (limits) the arc current – Heats lamp electrodes, in some cases

Multi-Speed Pool Pump or Motor
A single speed pool pump and motor can account for up to 20% of your home’s total electrical costs!
By switching from a single-speed pump to a multi-speed pump you may save up to $477 per year
That's up to $4,770 over the 10 year estimated product lifetime!
