7. SMUD Board Policy on
Sustainable Energy
⢠Sustainable Power Supply reduces SMUDâs long-
term greenhouse gas emissions from generation of
Electricity to 10% of its 1990 carbon dioxide emission
levels by 2050 (<350,000 metric tonnes/year), while
assuring reliability of the system; minimizing
environmental impacts on land, habitat, water quality,
and air quality; and maintaining a competitive
position relative to other California electricity
providers. T guide SMUD i it resource evaluation and
id To id in its l ti d
investment, the Board sets the following interim goals:
Year Net Greenhouse Gas Emissions (metric tonnes)
2012 2,608,000
2020 2,318,000

9. Meeting our Goals â RPS, EE
⢠To meet our carbon objectives SMUDâs
objectives,
Board has adopted a 33% by 2020
Renewable Portfolio Standard goal
goal,
extending our 20% by 2010 goal,
consistent with state policy
⢠In addition, the Board adopted more
aggressive energy efficiency goals of
ff f
15% of retail load by 2023

SMUDâs Energy Efficiency Programs
⢠Programs initiated in 1970âs, have been aggressively
g , gg y
deploying EE for nearly 4 decades
⢠Current levels are just shy of 1.5% of customer retail
sales per year, with a goal of attaining th t l

21. Role of the Cap and Trade
Program and AB 32
P d
⢠SMUD supported the development of AB 32 and the
stateâs C and T d program, which reduce the
â Cap d Trade hi h d h
stateâs GhG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020
⢠1st Auction is November 15th, 2012, program covers
electricity and industry beginning in 2013,
transportation and natural gas beginning in 2015
⢠We are well positioned to comply with the p g
p py programâs
carbon reduction objectives given our RPS and EE
goals
⢠We are hopeful that the p g
p program creates appropriate
pp p
incentives for reducing statewide emissions while
providing benefits to the economy through clean tech
growth
22. Conclusions
⢠SMUD has had a long history of investment in efficiency and
renewables to benefit our customers and reduce our impact
on the environment
⢠Many challenges arise as renewables (e.g., variability &
integration, transmission to access new, high density
resources) and efficiency ( g , developing new, emerging
) y (e.g., p g , g g
efficiency technologies) grow as sources to reduce GhG
emissions
⢠The future requires continued dedication and new solutions
such as th S
h the Smart Grid t enable significant renewable
t G id to bl i ifi t bl
penetrations and emerging energy efficiency solutions
⢠Achieving this transition while maintaining our customer
satisfaction will be challenging but SMUD staff are up to the
challenging,
challenge!
