California Energy Commission
Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan
The DRECP is a collaborative planning process that will guide the development of renewables in the California desert while ensuring the protection of environmental, cultural and military interests.
•
Mandated by Executive Order # S‐14‐08 •
Created to help California reach its 33% RPS goal
•
Expected completion – 2013
•
Agencies involved ‐ California Department of Fish & Game, California Energy Commission, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, California Public Utilities Commission, California Independent Systems Operator, National Parks Service, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Department of the Interior & the Department of Defense

California Energy Commission
Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan
• The CEC is currently conducting workshops to gather information and input in regards to:
– The Durability of Conservation Activities on Public Land within the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (August 22nd, 2012)
– Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan Governance, Costs, and Financing (September 24th, 2012)
– More to come…

Siting and Permitting
Jurisdiction, Compliance & Lessons Learned
•
•
Mandatory jurisdiction over thermal power plants ≥ 50 Megawatts (MW)
Energy Commission Monitors Compliance
– Construction:
• Adherence to all conditions of certification, pre‐ and during construction • Delegate Chief Building Official and Commission Project Manager visit site periodically
– Operations:
• Adherence to all conditions of certification throughout life time or project
• Compliance documentation collected from developers by Commission Project Manager
•
2010 Permitting Lessons Learned Proceeding
– On December 1, 2010, the CEC adopted an Order Instituting an Informational Proceeding (Lessons Learned) on issues that are critical to the licensing of power plants. – CEC staff has been assessing the CEC’s siting processes and examining critical issues common among solar‐thermal and conventional power plants. • Workshop held in February 2012 with local governments, BLM and stakeholders to examine best practices in siting processes
• Staff is currently examining the CEC’s siting regulations for potential modification

A joint Hidden Hills/Rio Mesa Solar Flux workshop was held on 8/28/12 in Sacramento. The Final Staff Assessment publication date is 10/19/12.
Project Info: HHSEGS is a 500 MW facility on 3,277 acres of privately owned land leased in Inyo County along the Nevada border, 45 miles west of Las Vegas. Heliostats (elevated mirrors mounted on pylons) will focus the sun’s rays on solar receiver steam generators (SRSG) atop two separate 750 ft. power towers

Source: http://www.brightsourceenergy.com/hidden‐hills
The PSA filing due date granted by the Committee is 9/28/12. Project Info: The Rio Mesa SEGF is located on the Palo Verde Mesa in Riverside County, about 13 miles southwest of Blythe, California. The project will include two solar power tower plants, each with a nominal output of 250 MW. The project would be executed in phases. Each 250 MW plant requires about 1,850 acres (2.9 square miles). 18
SB 1368 Emissions Performance Standard
Status & Updates
•
•
•
•
In 2007, the CEC adopted a GHG Emissions Performance Standard and related requirements under SB 1368. These regulations support the phasing out of dirty fossil fuel based electricity generation supplied to California by preventing long term investment in covered procurements.
In January 2012, the CEC initiated a rulemaking proceeding to consider the possibility of modifying the EPS.
In April 2012, the CEC held a public workshop on the four issues remaining in the rulemaking. 1.
2.
3.
4.
•
Whether to establish a filing requirement for POU investments in non‐
EPS compliant facilities
Whether to further define regulatory terms such as “covered procurement,” “routine maintenance,” and “designed and intended to extend the life of one or more generating units.”
Whether the Cap‐and‐Trade regulation constitutes an established, operational and enforceable GHG limit applicable to POU’s Whether or not to revise the EPS currently set at 1,100 IbsCO2/MWH
On August 31st, 2012 the CEC asked for reply comments from stakeholders on issues 1 and 4. Comments are due at the end of September.
