6 Public Citizen, Solar Austin, Resource Management Commission (COA) Be it Resolved: Goals specific for solar energy Solar electric integration into demand-side management Budget funding for clean energy industry economic development 20% RPS to replace the 5% goal Meeting all future demand for electric power with clean energy Amendments to AE s proposed energy resource plan Results: Approval of a new RPS of 20% by 2020 to replace the former goal of 5% by end 2004; Approval of solar rebates for the commercial and residential sectors; Approval of goals for solar energy of 15MW by 2007, 30MW by 2010, 50MW by 2014, and 100MW by 2020;
7 COA Climate Protection Plan Achieve 700 MW in savings through energy efficiency and conservation by Meet 30% of all energy needs through renewable resources by 2020, including 100 MW of solar power. Achieve carbon neutrality on any new generation units through lowest emission technologies, carbon sequestration and offsets. Establish CO2 cap and reduction plan for all utility emissions. Power 100% of city facilities with renewable energy by 2012.

11 Sustainable Energy Roadmap The City of Austin and Solar Austin have commissioned this policy research project with the LBJ School of Public Affairs (UT) to review options for Austin s electric utility, Austin Energy, to achieve sustainable energy generation and become carbon neutral by The Roadmap will take into account: (a) projected energy needs; (b) available and reasonably anticipated technology for energy conservation, efficiency and energy generation; (c) economic costs of production and distributing electricity as well as carbon dioxide, nuclear waste and other byproducts of energy generation; (d) planning challenges; and (e) options for community investment. The goal of this process is to develop a reasonable set of short-term and long-term investments that can become a model for other utilities nationwide.

21 The Pecan Street Project Create a consortium: The city of Austin will help create and fund a new local, public/private consortium devoted to the research and development of clean energy technologies and distributed generation systems. It will thus work to reduce energy consumption, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. City as lab: Austin Energy will open its grid to entrepreneurs and researchers to test a few megawatts of their prototype technologies after ensuring they pose no threat to our energy system's safety and reliability. Create business model: As the consortium develops a new distributed generation system for clean energy, Austin Energy will correspondingly develop a new profitable business model for the utility's services. Show the world how it works: Austin will become the first city to test-drive the new system and business model. As a result, we'll enjoy energy savings that will in theory prevent the need for an entire new power plant.
