1 IEPR Lead Commissioner Workshop Electricity Infrastructure Issues in California South Coast AQMD Air Quality-Related Energy Policy Affecting Electricity Infrastructure Barry R. Wallerstein, D.Env. Executive Officer Los Angeles June 22,

2 South Coast Air Quality Management District Local air pollution control agency in Southern California (non-desert portions of LA, Riverside & San Bernardino counties and all of Orange county) Population of 17 million (about half of State s population) Worst air quality in the nation (Ozone & PM 2.5) Receives and processes about 10,000 permit applications annually Regulates over 27,000 stationary sources 2

3 Ozone Exposures* 8-Hour NAAQS = 75 ppb Nationwide California Sacramento Valley 5.6% South Coast 48.1% San Joaquin Valley 10.5% Rest of Nation 9.2% San Diego 5.0% Rest of Calif 3.2% Houston/Galvest on 4.4% Atlanta 1.3% Dallas/Ft Worth 4.1% Philadelphia/Wil mington 3.9% New York/New Jersey Phoenix 3.8% 1.0% South Coast 66.4% * Population-weighted incremental exposure to ozone above the 8-Hour NAAQS (> 75 ppb), based on design values San Joaquin Valley 14.6% Sacramento Valley 7.7% San Diego 6.9% Rest of California 4.4% 3

4 PM2.5 Exposure* Annual Average NAAQS = 15 µg/m3 Nationwide California South Coast 43.4% San Joaquin Valley 33.6% New York 3.8% Arizona 3.1% Texas 2.7% Pennsylvani a 5.8% Rest of Nation 7.7% South Coast 56.4% San Joaquin Valley 43.6% * Population-weighted incremental exposure to PM2.5 above the NAAQS annual standard, based on data 4

5 Mobile Sources Cause 80% of Remaining Air Pollution in South Coast Off-road Mobile 41% On-road Mobile 39% Other 20% 5

6 Top NOx Source Categories (2023) (2012 AQMP Draft Inventory) + Draft 2012 AQMP as of May 4, 2012 (preliminary estimates) * Oceangoing vessels = 33.8 tons/day **RECLAIM: 320 largest stationary sources, including all refineries and power plants 6

7 Nitrogen Oxides Emissions in 2023 with Adopted Standards and Additional Needed Emission Reductions (tons per day) 7 * Source: Ambient ozone modeling conducted by SCAQMD, 2012; data preliminary

8 SCAB Ozone Attainment Preliminary Basin NOX Reductions Needed Year Federal Standard (PPB) Percent Reduction of NOX Emissions from 2023 Base Year Carrying Capacity (tpd)

9 The Relationship Energy Use Air Quality Health 9

10 Multiple Issues, Separate Solutions Climate Change Air Quality Energy Mobility Climate Change Air Quality Energy Mobility 10

11 Integrated Solution Climate Change Global Warming Energy Air Quality Mobility Air Quality Improvement Needs Transportation & Mobility Energy Reliability and Security 11

12 AQMD Energy-Related Policy: Key elements Zero- and near-zero emission technologies Demand-side management programs (energy efficiency, conservation, load shifting) Distributed renewable generation and energy storage Continued need for fossil fuel plants Community mitigation Public education 12

13 AQMD Energy-Related Policy: Key actions Feasibility studies of zero- and near-zero emission technologies, costs, impacts Working groups standardized charging installation, rate structure Develop and demonstration of biogas and other clean energy sources from biomass Participate w/ CEC, PUC & partner to promote energy efficiency through local actions Tracking and reporting 13

14 Regulatory Structure Prior to Electricity Deregulation Public Utilities Commission (PUC) Regulated entire system of Generation, Transmission, Distribution and set energy prices Prices for energy for IOUs (SCE, PG&E and SDG&E) based on cost of running power plants California Energy Commission (CEC) License power plants (> 50 MWs) and perform Needs Analysis Forecast energy needs IOUs provided 77% and Municipalities 23% of power 14

15 Regulatory Structure After Electricity Deregulation Public Utilities Commission (PUC) Three IOUs divested their generating plants and sold them to five private energy companies (AES/Williams, Dynegy/NRG, Reliant, Duke and Mirant) Continues to regulate retail rates for IOUs, but prices mostly determined by wholesale prices California Energy Commission (CEC) License power plants (> 50 MWs) w/o Needs Analysis Prepares IEPR Utilities sign PPAs with private energy companies Private energy companies provide 42%, IOUs 31% and Municipalities/governments 27% of power 1

16 Emission Offset Shortage / PM10 ERC Supply & Cost * Supply decreased by 57% since 2000; Cost increased by 2,621% since 2000 Highest price of PM10 ERC (sold in 2009) is $350,000 per lb/day 16

17 Status of Power Plants in SCAQMD Since Early 2000 Power Plants MW Permitted & in Operation (NG-Fired) 7,745 Permitted Not Operational (NG-Fired) 2,815 Permitted Not Operational (Cogen) 87 Pending Final Permits (Cogen & Solar ) 620 Total Addition 11,267 Shutdowns 4,539 Generating Units Subject to Termination of OTC 7,646 Denied or Cancelled Projects due to lack of Offsets 2,399 17

18 SCAQMD Staff Observations / Concerns Electricity Deregulation has transferred power generation from a small group of utilities to a small group of energy companies State of California may have inadequate energy planning, (e.g. Huntington Beach Units 3 & 4) Availability and cost of emission offsets are of significant concern that impacts economic growth in SCAQMD 18

19 Take-away: Clean Energy Future Public investments in energy infrastructure must focus on projects that achieve maximum co-benefits, including: reductions in criteria pollutants, air toxics, and greenhouse gases energy security and energy diversity energy cost certainty, especially for sectors key to SoCal economy 19
