21 Estimated Remaining $114.5 M 21

22 New ECAA-Ed Competitive Loan Program 22

23 Who is Eligible for a Loan? Local Education Agencies (LEAs) Public School Districts (K-12) County Offices of Education Charter Schools 23

24 Eligibility Administrative Screening Criteria Applications must be received by due date in solicitation no exceptions Applications include: Eligible energy measures Required authorizations and certifications Required back-up documentation 24

25 Eligible Energy Measures Lighting Systems Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) Controls/Thermostats Pumps and Motors Plug Loads Building Envelope Clean Energy Generation (solar photovoltaic) 25

26 Preliminary Program Design Legislative Direction Competitive priority based on: 1.Geographic diversity 2.Diversity in size of LEAs student population 3.Percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals (FRPM) in prior year 4.Energy savings 26

27 Geographic Diversity Green = North Purple = Central Pink = South Yellow = Los Angeles Co 27

28 Diversity of size of LEA student population Tier 1 - Up to 1,000 students Tier 2 - >1,000 to <2,000 students Tier 3 - >2,000 students 28

30 Funding Amount Maximum Loan $3,000,000 No more than: Total Energy Costs Savings over the Estimated Useful Life (EUL) of Measures Actual Project Cost 30

31 Percentage of students eligible for FRPM in the prior year FRPM participation provided by the California Department of Education FRPM multiplied by weighing factor of 15% Number of students eligible for FRPM X 100% X 15% Total Enrollment 31

32 Energy Savings Baseline energy consumption before implementing energy project Energy savings multiplied by weighing factor of 85% Energy Savings X 100% X 85% Baseline Energy Use 32

33 Energy Savings Calculations Step 1 Energy Benchmarking 12 Consecutive Months Energy Consumption Data Convert Electricity, Natural Gas, Propane, and Fuel Oil Consumption into MMBtu Conversion Factors: Electricity 10,716 Btu/kWh Natural Gas 100,000 Btu/therm Propane 92,500 Btu/gal Fuel Oil 138,500 Btu/gal 33

34 Energy Savings Calculations Step 2a Energy Savings Estimate Annual Energy Savings from EACH Measure Energy Saving Method Must be Articulated Calculations and Assumptions (if any) must be provided in Audit Report If software is used, the output must be provided with assumptions (if any) Convert Each Measure s Annual Energy Savings into MMBtu using Conversion Factors in Step 1 34

35 Energy Savings Calculations Step 2a Energy Savings Multiply Each Measure s Annual Energy Savings (MMBtu) with its Respective EUL to get Total Energy Savings Over Measure s Life Span (EUL for ECAA-Ed Loans will be the Lesser of Actual EUL of the EEM or 20 Years) Add Individual Energy Savings (MMBtu) for All Measures to Estimate Total Energy Savings From the Project 35

36 Energy Savings Calculations Step 2a % of Energy Savings Convert Energy Savings into Million Btu Divide Energy Savings (MMBtu) by the Energy Benchmarking (MMBtu) to get the % of Energy Savings 36

37 Energy Savings Calculations Step 2b Total Cost Savings from Measures Multiply Annual Energy Cost Savings from Each Measure with Respective EUL to get Total Cost Savings from the Measure over its EUL Add Total Cost Savings from All Measures to get Total Savings from the Project 37

38 Energy Savings Calculations Step 2c Role of Simple Payback Period Add First Year s Cost Savings from each Measure to get Total First Year Cost Savings Divide Project Cost by Total First Year Cost Savings to get Simple Payback period If the Final Score of Two Applications is the Same, the Application with the Shorter Simple Payback will be Ranked Higher 38

39 Example of FRPM and Energy Savings Calculation/Total Score/Ranking 39

40 Bright School Program (Technical Assistance) Apply, Apply, Apply!!! Technical Assistance can be used for an Energy Audit to help identify eligible projects and energy cost savings A simple application is all that s needed to get started 40

41 Program Implementation Funding Awarded by Competitive Solicitation Limited time period to apply Application subject to evaluation criteria Energy Commission reviews and scores Applications based on final overall score Competitive loans approved at CEC Business Meeting 41

52 Senate Bill 110 Funding: $75 million Eligible applicants: school districts and county offices of education (COE). Priority should be given to the oldest school buses, or school buses operating in disadvantaged communities and to schools that have a majority of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals in the prior year. Any school bus replaced shall be scrapped. C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N 2

53 CARB and Local Air Districts: Historical Funding Since 2001, more than $500M has gone to retrofit or replace school buses through CARB and local air districts. Objective: To reduce kids exposure to toxic diesel exhaust, and reduce air pollution overall, by replacing the oldest school buses. State School Bus Funding schoolbus_fa.htm C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N 3

54 Program Goals and Objectives Follow SB 110 and Governor's Executive Order Children s health and safety Allocation scheme that best provides a level of funding equity Build the future supporting network of advanced next generation infrastructure Position as many schools with the options to embrace next generation zero emission vehicles GHG reductions C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N 4

55 Proposed Design Concept Comprehensive Design: School bus replacement (2 Phases) Phase 1: Identify list of buses eligible for replacement. Phase 2: Solicit manufacturers to design, construct, and deliver the replacement buses to school districts. Provide EV fueling infrastructure to support bus and future expansion. Provide workforce training and development for EV buses. C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N 5

56 Accomplishments to Date Focus Group Meetings Public Workshops: Sacramento February 14, 2018 Los Angeles February 20, 2018 Clovis February 21, 2018 School Bus Replacement Program Web Page Call Center Hotline (855) C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N 6

57 Next Steps Conduct a competitive solicitation for school districts/coe Award school districts/coe in ranked order until all funds available are exhausted. Provide grant funds directly to the eligible school districts/coe to purchase the buses identified in their application. Conduct a competitive solicitation for school bus manufacturers Award school bus manufacturer Order and build buses Install infrastructure and provide workforce training C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N 7

58 Emphasizing Electric School Buses 1. Benefits Children s Health 2. Lowered Emissions 3. Quieter Smoother Ride 4. Charging Overnight 5. Lower Maintenance 6. Lower Fuel Cost 7. Potential Vehicle to Grid C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N 8

59 Cost Savings of Electric Buses Electric School Buses are an emerging technology They have a higher up-front front capitol cost compared to mature technologies. But have much lower annual operations and maintenance costs! Cost Diesel CNG Electric Maintenance $9,075 $3,360 $1,770 Fuel $5,930 $5,000 $2,714 Total $15,005 $8,360 $4,484 This program will cover the up-front capitol costs, passing on the annual O&M cost savings to the school districts, while replacing an older bus with a clean new one!
