Our impact

The Clean Coalition has had significant impact shaping policies and programs that enable the deployment of clean local energy to address climate change and secure economic, environmental, and resilience benefits for communities. Through cutting-edge programs, policies, and initiatives, we have helped bring nearly 3 gigawatts of clean local energy online — enough to provide peak power to nearly 3 million American homes.

Through our work, we have:

• Designed and implemented Feed-In Tariff (FIT) programs across the United States, from California to Indiana to Vermont, bringing hundreds of megawatts (MW) of local renewable energy online.
• Established precedent-setting interconnection policy in California, which was adopted by federal energy regulators as a new national standard, making it quicker and cheaper to connect clean local energy projects to the grid.
• Issued studies that influenced major decisions under California regulatory bodies to stall and stop construction in Southern California of gas plants in favor of solar+storage solutions.
• Led the creation of California’s innovative Distribution Resources Planning proceeding, which requires the state’s largest utilities to proactively plan for — and deploy — distributed energy resources (DER), such as local renewables and energy storage.
• Shaped New York’s Reforming the Energy Vision proceeding and received one of the first five NY Prize Community Microgrid Competition grants for our Long Island Community Microgrid Project.

In addition to these successes, we’ve accomplished much more:

Timeline of accomplishments

2022

Bringing resilience to a disadvantaged community in East Los Angeles
The Clean Coalition has partnered with Los Angeles (LA) County to unleash Solar Microgrids and Community Microgrids that deliver unparalleled economic, environmental, and resilience benefits to communities, starting with disadvantaged communities. As the first step in this collaboration, the Clean Coalition will perform Solar Microgrid feasibility studies for a hub of LA County critical community facilities (CCFs) that are clustered in the disadvantaged and unincorporated East LA community. LA County’s ultimate goal is to implement Solar Microgrids and Community Microgrids throughout the County. As such, the Solar Microgrid feasibility studies for the East LA hub are intended to be translated into a Request for Proposals (RFP) that leads to robust Solar Microgrid implementations within the next two years. The East LA Solar Microgrids are intended to showcase Solar Microgrids that can be proliferated to CCFs throughout LA County and beyond.

2021

Bringing renewables-driven resilience to the City of Camarillo
The Clean Coalition is engaged to bring expertise and depth to the City of Camarillo’s energy program by conducting a solar+storage microgrid feasibility study for five City facilities. The study finds that the most feasible and economic solutions for the facilities would be Hybrid Solar Microgrids at four of the facilities, incorporating solar, storage, and diesel generators, and a Solar Microgrid at the fifth facility. Following the Feasibility Study, the Camarillo City Council votes unanimously to award the Clean Coalition a contract for initial designs of the Hybrid Solar Microgrids and Solar Microgrid. These designs are targeted to provide the foundation for a comprehensive request for proposal (RFP) and are expected to be completed by the end of June 2021.

Bringing Solar Microgrids to the Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD)
The SBUSD Board unanimously approves an ambitious initiative with the Clean Coalition and Sage Energy Consulting to implement solar-driven microgrids and electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVCI) at schools and other sites throughout the District. The Solar Microgrids feature solar and energy storage that will provide long-duration energy resilience to the District. The Clean Coalition designs state-of-the-art RFP specifications and contract language and guides the selected designer-builder-owner-operator (DBOO) in the formation of a state-of-the-art Performance Guarantee Agreement (PGA) that defines the guaranteed economic and resilience performance requirements of the Solar Microgrids. Ultimately, 6 SBUSD sites are contracted for Solar Microgrids and another 8 sites for solar only, with deployments planned in the summer of 2021. The economic and resilience benefits over the 28-year PPA periods deliver guaranteed bill savings of nearly $8 million, with an additional $6.47 million in value-of-resilience for free.

2020

Standardizing a value-of-resilience (VOR123)
The Clean Coalition paves the way to unleash the Solar Microgrid and Community Microgrid market by developing and refining a standardized value-of-resilience (VOR123) methodology, which assigns a value to the significant resilience benefits of these deployments. VOR123 can be applied to any type of facility by tiering loads and then applying a standardized VOR for each: Tier 1 are critical loads, usually about 10% of a facility’s load; Tier 2 are priority loads, usually about 15% of the load; and Tier 3 are discretionary loads, usually about 75% of the load.

Designing and staging a Residential Solar Microgrid model
The Clean Coalition partners with a homeowner in Montecito, California, on an exciting project to manage the development, deployment, and standardization of two Solar Microgrids. The Solar Microgrid systems will allow the homeowner to achieve solar net zero; power all critical electricity loads during power outages using solar+storage, and power all other loads when energy is plentiful via solar+storage and/or via the existing natural gas generator; and save money on electricity bills. The project, expected to be operational by in early 2021, will provide a model for a replicable residential Solar Microgrid.

Partnering with the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD)
The Clean Coalition is contracted by LACCD to conduct a feasibility assessment of backup power solutions for critical and priority loads during long-duration grid outages at the LACCD Educational Services Center (ESC), in a high-rise building in downtown Los Angeles. Our technical assessment compares the feasibility of a Solar Microgrid and a Hybrid Solar Microgrid to the ESC’s existing diesel generator backup system. The Clean Coalition’s recommendations include adding 181 kWp of solar and 232 kW / 232 kWh of energy storage to the existing diesel system, with a follow-on phase within five years in which the existing 175 kW diesel is de-rated or eliminated by upsizing the energy storage to 580 kW / 2,320 kWh.

Ensuring that avoided transmission costs are considered in assessing the value of DER
In response to comments filed by the Clean Coalition and other parties, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) agrees to include avoided transmission costs as part of the valuation of distributed energy resources (DER) in their Avoided Cost Calculator, a key tool to calculate the value of DER projects, programs, policies, and deployments and to evaluate their cost-effectiveness. While all parties agree that further refinements are warranted, this decision is a big win for clean local energy in California.

Making progress on Transmission Access Charges (TAC) Campaign
The Clean Coalition continues leading on the Transmission Access Charges (TAC) Campaign, with a number of dedicated collaborators. This year, the Clean Coalition obtains Legislative Counsel approval of TAC legislative language and seeks to introduce that language into a bill in the California Legislature. 

2019

Making progress on the Goleta Load Pocket Community Microgrid (GLPCM)
The Montecito Fire Protection District and the Montecito Union School give the GLPCM a strong start when they both decide to move forward on microgrids. In a major breakthrough in late 2019, the Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD) unanimously approves an ambitious initiative led by the Clean Coalition to stage Solar Microgrids and EVCI at all of its 21 schools. With these and more projects continuing to be added, as well as strong community support, the GLPCM is positioned for success.

Advising on the Redwood Coast Airport Microgrid (RCAM)
The Clean Coalition’s Executive Director is invited to participate on the Technical Advisory Committee for the RCAM, in Humboldt County, staging to be the first true Community Microgrid in California — and potentially the US. The RCAM provides an excellent showcase of Community Microgrid capabilities and features tariff and business model innovations needed for Community Microgrid proliferation.

Assessing the feasibility of a Calistoga Community Microgrid
The City of Calistoga enters into an agreement with the Clean Coalition to conduct a feasibility assessment to determine whether to proceed with a Community Microgrid for the City. Facing wildfire threats and planned utility outages, the City seeks the unparalleled resilience benefits of renewables-driven Community Microgrids.

Realizing our vision in updated ICA 2.0 maps
The Clean Coalition plays a major role in the upgrade of the Integration Capacity Analysis maps, or ICA 2.0, as a leading advocate for streamlining the interconnection of distributed energy resources (DER) to the electric grid. This win is part of our ongoing work streamlining interconnection.

2018

Partnering with NREL and the City of San Diego to drive local solar development efforts
The Clean Coalition partners with the City of San Diego to participate in the Solar Energy Innovation Network (SEIN). The partnership is a significant step in helping San Diego meet its ambitious clean energy goals. SEIN explores new ways solar energy can improve the affordability, reliability, and resilience of the nation’s electric grid. The City of San Diego is one of nine teams selected by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for this collaborative effort. The Clean Coalition helps San Diego unlock  solar potential by conducting a Solar Siting Survey and designing a feed-in tariff with streamlined interconnection.

Launching the Goleta Load Pocket Community Microgrid Initiative (GLPCM)
The Clean Coalition launches the Goleta Load Pocket Community Microgrid Initiative, which provides a unique opportunity to bring resilience to the region with indefinite renewables-driven energy for critical emergency response and recovery facilities — while building back right in areas damaged by recent wildfires and debris flows. This deployment of clean local energy will showcase the grid of the future and will provide economic, environmental, and resilience benefits to the community.

Releasing the PAEC Master Case Study
For two years, the Peninsula Advanced Energy Community (PAEC) Initiative, with grant support from the California Energy Commission, studies what we can do to accelerate the deployment of Advanced Energy Communities (AECs). A aster Case Study report from the initiative details measures that government agencies and utilities can take to help build this future as soon as possible.

Partnering with the World Business Academy on the Montecito Community Microgrid Initiative
Along with the World Business Academy, the Clean Coalition launches the Montecito Community Microgrid Initiative. The Montecito Community Microgrid Initiative provides a unique opportunity to ensure indefinite renewables-driven energy for critical emergency response and recovery facilities. This deployment of clean local energy will showcase the grid of the future and will provide economic, environmental, and resilience benefits to the climate ravaged community.

Intervening to require Pacific Gas & Electric to procure more renewables
The Clean Coalition has played a major role in holding California’s investor-owned utilities accountable for the significant amounts of clean energy they were required to procure and connect to the grid under the California Public Utility Commission’s (CPUC) Renewable Auction Mechanism (RAM). The RAM program was designed to streamline and hasten the advancement of sub-20 (MW) distributed renewable energy projects in the state. Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) makes various attempts to delay or cancel their clean energy procurements required under RAM and, in response to these attempts, we intervene to ensure that this crucial market segment is supported in California.

Building up resilience benefits in the North Bay
The Clean Coalition, along with several strategic partners, launches the North Bay Community Resilience Initiative. The North Bay Community Resilience Initiative seeks to make the best of an otherwise tragic situation after the devastating October 2017 wildfires that swept through the North Bay in California. PG&E offers full support of the initiative, including a rebuild program for homes, a Community Microgrid, and overall grid modernization effort. The initiative also has support from Sonoma Clean Power, the community choice aggregator (CCA) in the area. Other collaborators include: Center for Climate Protection, County of Sonoma, Energy & Sustainability Division, Regional Climate Protection Authority, and Bay Area Air Quality Management District.

Expanding PURPA and defending ReMAT
In response to a ruling that the state’s Renewable Market Adjusting Tariff program did not meet PURPA requirements to offer long term fixed price contracts for distributed renewable resources up to 3 MW, the Clean Coalition successfully advocated to the CPUC in conjunction with other parties to open a new Rulemaking on an accelerated schedule to implement uncapped long term contract offers to purchase energy from PURPA defined Qualifying Resources at their full avoided cost value as determined at the time of the contract. This will offer reliable and predictable income to cost effective distributed renewables while also reopening ongoing ReMAT procurement.

Making progress on Distribution Resources Planning (DRP)
Continuing the vision of distribution resources planning that the Clean Coalition established in 2011 and which was subsequently adopted by the California Energy Commission and CPUC Guidance on utility distribution planning, 2018 marks several milestones in transparency in assessing and publishing grid needs, and in DER value and opportunity:

• Integration Capacity Assessment (ICA) maps
  Providing world leading detailed reliable data on the ability of the grid to accommodate additional DER without triggering grid upgrades, published and updated monthly for every node on every line section and circuit. Some confusion over the application of proposed data redaction standards has potentially delayed publication until the end of the year, but we are addressing this with the Commission.
• Locational Net Benefits Assessment (LNBA) maps
  This new resource identifies locational differences in the need for energy and other grid services and their value. This is providing critical input in assessing the full value of DER and development of solicitation and other DER compensation mechanisms now being taken up by the CPUC with leading engagement by the Clean Coalition. Issues related to ICA map publication apply the LNBA maps as well.
• Grid Needs Assessment (GNA) Report
  This new annual report provides critical transparency into the future needs of the distribution system after considering the forecast growth of both DER and customer loads
• Distribution Deferral Opportunities Report (DDOR) and DER solicitation
  Building on the GNA, this identifies the grid needs which are likely to be cost effectively resolved through the use of DER, and provides the foundation for both direct solicitation and location specific compensation programs and policy.

Leading on interconnection
The Clean Coalition continues to be a leading advocate for streamlined and predictable interconnection practices. 2018 has seen continuing enhancement and refinement of standards and practices related to the process of interconnecting resources to the distribution grid under California Rule 21, a standard frequently adopted by other states.  Issues addressed this year include utilizing the ICA hosting capacity data in the utility application review process, automation opportunities, ensuring telemetry is cost effective, implementing advanced inverter functions, enabling modifications in system design, and exempting distributed resources from lengthy transmission study processes. Final decisions by the CPUC are scheduled by the end of the year for implementation in 2019.

Making progress on our Transmission Access Charges (TAC) Campaign
Opposition from the Clean Coalition and other groups helps defeat AB 813, a bill that would have expanded CAISO into a regional electric system operator and would have further increased California’s already skyrocketing electric transmission costs. A significant development in constraining these costs is a major advance this year on our Transmission Access Charges (TAC) Campaign. The Clean Coalition is an active advocate in the CAISO stakeholder process, which includes holding a full-day workshop at CAISO to educate staff and stakeholders alike. After a year-long process, CAISO agrees that the customers of load-serving entities that procure wholesale distributed generation (WDG) should probably be credited for avoiding future transmission costs, but declines to make the reform because of opposition by the utilities and remote generation owners. In response, the Clean Coalition begins the process of introducing legislation in the upcoming session to direct the CPUC to take up this reform, as well as key reforms that will remove other barriers to WDG.

2017

Showing how solar+storage obviates gas peaker plants in Southern California
Clean Coalition studies show that solar+storage can cost-effectively replace the proposed Puente Power Project natural gas plant in Oxnard and the Ellwood Peaker Plant near Santa Barbara, both in the Moorpark Subarea, a grid-constrained area in Southern California. These studies are instrumental in the denial of the Puente project by the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the rejection of the Ellwood project by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). As a result, many analysts question whether another gas plant will ever be built in California.

Proliferating clean energy access for underserved communities
The CEC selects the Clean Coalition to receive a grant for our Valencia Gardens Energy Storage project. In collaboration with partners like Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), and the City of San Francisco, the Clean Coalition leads this project to add grid-scale energy storage to the roughly 800 kilowatts (kW) of rooftop solar that is already interconnected to the distribution feeder around the Valencia Gardens Apartments, a large low-income and senior housing apartment complex near downtown San Francisco.

Expanding EV charging in Palo Alto
The Clean Coalition’s work to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Palo Alto moves forward with the unveiling of new solar carport installations atop four City-owned parking structures. The solar carports and the EV charging infrastructure are possible only because of the Palo Alto Feed-in Tariff (FIT), which the Clean Coalition helped establish nearly five years ago.

Continuing our Peninsula Advanced Energy Community (PAEC) Initiative 
PAEC — a collaboration with the CEC — continues to streamline policies and showcase projects that facilitate clean local energy and other advanced energy solutions like energy efficiency, energy storage, and EV charging infrastructure. PAEC is a model for communities across the country that want to reap the trifecta of economic, environmental, and resilience benefits delivered by Community Microgrids, Solar Emergency Microgrids, and more.

Progressing on the Transmission Access Charges (TAC) Campaign 
The Clean Coalition makes progress on our campaign to eliminate the massive market distortion of 3 cents/kilowatt-hour (kWh) that TAC steal from local renewables in investor-owned utility service territories, including from Community Choice Aggregators. The 2017 legislative cycle features the Clean Coalition-sponsored Senate Bill 692 to force CAISO to fix the TAC distortion by implementing a consistent statewide “user-pays” approach. In response, CAISO starts the Review TAC Structure Stakeholder Initiative, which is based on the Clean Coalition’s proposed TAC fix. By the end of 2017, nearly 100 supporting organizations sign on to ensure our proposal is adopted.

Receiving the People’s Action for Clean Energy award
The Clean Coalition’s work is recognized by the People’s Action for Clean Energy, with their 2017 Judi Friedman Clean Energy Leadership Award for bold and creative leadership in the field of clean energy.

Deploying more clean local energy in Alameda County
The Clean Coalition partners with East Bay Community Energy (EBCE), part of California’s rapidly expanding Community Choice Energy market, to develop a program for deploying more clean local energy in Alameda County. Our Solar Siting Survey shows enormous opportunity for solar deployment in the region, and the innovative FIT with Market Responsive Pricing we designed for EBCE includes a Dispatchability Adder to incentivize energy storage.

Providing a game-changing solution for solar+storage in Hawaii
The Clean Coalition helps set the stage for a showcase solar+storage solution that spans multiple sites on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The solution is a game changer for the electricity industry because it illuminates the cost-effectiveness of local solar energy that is delivered when desired, rather than only while the sun is shining. The Clean Coalition was engaged to conduct analysis that maximized economic value and minimized fossil fuel usage for a solar+storage solution that will provide energy at 11 cents/kWh, which is 10% less than the 12.5 cents/kWh average cost of electricity in the United States. The same type of solar+storage solution can be configured to provide indefinite renewables-driven backup power to critical community facilities. This Kauai example, which spans multiple sites, combines 28 MW of solar with 20 MW/100 MW-hours of batteries and will provide 11% of Kauai’s electricity once online in 2018.

2016

Launching the Peninsula Advanced Energy Community, providing a framework for the future of clean energy
The Clean Coalition launches the Peninsula Advanced Energy Community, which was one of 13 projects selected for funding by the CEC. The PAEC will address policy, permitting, and financing barriers impeding the development of Advanced Energy Communities. Collaborators include PG&E, SamTrans, Facebook, Stanford University, and Kaiser Permanente.

Solarizing City-owned parking structures and enhancing EV deployment in Palo Alto
Working with the Clean Coalition, the City of Palo Alto creates a new model for deploying local renewables on municipal properties. Sustained efforts by the Clean Coalition and the City of Palo Alto brought 1.3 MW of local solar atop four City-owned parking structures, along with a significant amount of EV charging infrastructure.

Improving interconnection in California
The CPUC approves the Clean Coalition’s proposal to require all of California’s investor-owned utilities to publish a Unit Cost Guide, which is designed to improve pricing transparency, predictability, and consistency for the interconnection of distributed generation projects.

Expanding access to solar for Californians
The CPUC issues a decision on the Green Tariff Shared Renewables program, which included the Clean Coalition’s recommendation to include sub-500 kW renewable energy projects. This important modification will enhance the number of siting opportunities for clean local energy in the built environment.

Better valuing NEM bill credits for solar + storage systems 
The Clean Coalition successfully advocated for a NEM bill credit valuation methodology for solar systems paired with energy storage. This is a solution that will properly value energy export credits based on the size of the storage device, overall system, and consumption patterns.

Bringing 735 MW of solar online in Georgia
Georgia Power’s Advanced Solar Initiative, designed using our Local CLEAN Program Guide, brings over 735 MW of clean energy online. The Advanced Solar Initiative has enabled Georgia Power to cost-effectively expand its renewable portfolio, including 190 MW of local solar, without raising customer rates.

Refining California’s new regulatory incentive pilot
The Clean Coalition plays a significant role in refining California’s new regulatory mechanism incentive pilot. The pilot requires each utility to identify at least one grid-scale project — and authorize up to three additional projects — where the deployment of distributed energy resources would displace or defer the need for significant costs associated with new energy transmission infrastructure, such as power plants and power lines.

2015

Bringing resilience to New York’s grid with the Long Island Community Microgrid Project

2014

Leading Palo Alto toward a low-carbon future
The Downtown Palo Alto Net Zero Energy Initiative, initiated by the Clean Coalition, aims to achieve net zero energy for at least 100 existing commercial buildings in downtown Palo Alto by yearend 2017. Additionally, the Clean Coalition leads the process to bring solar projects to five City-owned parking structures.

Establishing renewable energy programs
The Clean Coalition works with utilities to establish FIT programs, such as the Northern Indiana Public Service Company’s FIT 2.0 and Sonoma Clean Power’s ProFIT program. We also help in the successful passage of the U.S. Virgin Islands’ Feed-In Tariff Act.

Planning proactively for solar, storage, and other clean energy technologies under AB 327
The Clean Coalition offers recommendations on implementing the Distribution Resources Planning requirement of California’s Assembly Bill 327 (AB 327), which includes a grid planning methodology shaped by the Clean Coalition for determining the optimal locations of distributed energy resources.

Utilizing advanced inverters in California
Advanced inverters are an effective tool for regulating voltage and enabling greater amounts of local renewable energy. The CPUC’s Rule 21 adopts numerous advanced inverter standards recommended by the Clean Coalition and makes California the first state in the country to require the use of advanced inverters with distributed generation.

2013

Playing a role in California Assembly Bill 327, which is officially signed into law
California Governor Jerry Brown signs into law AB 327, which mandates that the state’s largest investor-owned utilities proactively plan for a distributed power system. The new law brings together years of Clean Coalition work by including our language and recommendations and marks a significant step forward in smarter grid planning by ensuring that California ratepayers are protected from unnecessary investments in the outdated centralized power system.

Transforming a San Francisco neighborhood
In collaboration with PG&E, the Clean Coalition initiates the Hunters Point Community Microgrid Project. Once complete, this project will result in $200 million in regional economic stimulation and preserve 375 acres of land over 20 years, while eliminating 78 millions of pounds of toxic greenhouse gas emissions and saving 15 million gallons of water annually.

2012

Expanding biopower in California
Senate Bill 1122, designed by the Clean Coalition, is passed, which requires the state’s largest investor-owned utilities to create an additional 250 MW of capacity for biopower projects.

Providing policy support on Vermont’s expanded statewide CLEAN Program
Vermont Governor Shumlin signs into law the 2012 Energy Bill, which contains groundbreaking acknowledgement of the environmental and economic benefits of clean local energy and more than doubles the amount to be brought online through the state’s CLEAN Program. The Clean Coalition provides leading policy support to Vermont-based clean energy organizations engaged in the legislative process.

Influencing California’s Integrated Energy Policy Report
The Clean Coalition is highly involved in the CEC’s 2011 Integrated Energy Policy Report, which includes research and analysis of energy demand and generation trends relevant to California’s 33% Renewable Portfolio Standard and Governor Brown’s 12,000 MW goal for distributed generation. The Clean Coalition’s involvement results in a number of victories for proponents of distributed generation.

Fixing a clean energy program in California
Working with developers, Southern California Edison, the California Governor’s office, and the CPUC, the Clean Coalition removes barriers within the California Renewable Energy Small Tariff — demonstrating that with proper stakeholder collaboration, the clean local energy market can be unleashed to create powerful and immediate economic benefits for California communities.

2011

Stopping counterproductive policy
The Clean Coalition successfully prevents California utilities from weakening the Renewable Auction Mechanism, a program designed to bring clean energy online. The utilities sought to continue use of an inadequate data map, unfair deliverability requirements, and less frequent auctions.

Improving transparency into Pacific Gas & Electric’s grid
As a result of the Clean Coalition’s persistent requests, PG&E creates an online map and information resource to improve the process of connecting renewable energy to the grid. This lays the foundation for more advanced distribution grid mapping required in California’s Distribution Resources Planning proceeding.
