Environmental Defense Fund’s Approach
CLIMATE + ENERGY
Unleash the power of private capital
Level the playing field for clean energy resources
Align utility business models with desired objectives
Modernize the electricity grid
Climate Change Mitigation
• Conservation Voltage Reduction
• Voltage Optimization
• Renewables Integration
Climate Change Adaptation
• Enhanced Visibility, System Monitoring, and Control

Where it’s WorkedWhere and how EDF has advanced grid modernization
The Clean Power Plan
EDF successfully advocated for:
Recognition of CVR as a potential
component of state compliance plans
Need for EPA to provide guidance to
ensure savings are properly
accounted for
Duke Indiana Grid Modernization
EDF supported and advocated for:
Voltage optimization throughout 50%
of Duke’s territory
Grid modernization with
environmental metric reporting on
voltage, energy, carbon reductions
Access to data through pilot
programs
New York Distribution System Implementation Plans
EDF instrumental in defining the
required plans from New York utilities to
provide a roadmap for how they will
invest in grid modernization
Currently working to further refine the
plans
Grid modernization priorities already
included
Thank You

Distributed Energy Resource PlanningAn Update from California
AB 327 Requires Better Planning and Integration
of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)
• Public Utilities Code Section 769 was instituted by AB 327, Sec. 8 (Perea, 2013).
• This new code section requires the electrical corporations to file distribution resources
plan proposals by July 1, 2015. It defines “distributed energy resources” as
“distributed renewable generation resources, energy efficiency, energy storage,
electric vehicles, and demand response technologies.”
• Currently active at the California Public Utilities Commission in two proceedings:
– Distribution Resources Plans (DRP) - R.14-08-013
– Integrated Distributed Energy Resources (IDER) – R.14-10-003
19
DER Integration Requires Improved
Planning + Sourcing
• Distribution Resources Plans (DRP) - This proceeding
requires the utilities to submit more detailed distribution-
level plans than ever before, creates tools and access to
public data to inform DER integration, and aims to value
the distribution-level benefits of DERs.
• Integrated Distributed Energy Resources (IDER) - This
proceeding is intended to explore options for “sourcing”
DERs including tariffs, programs, competitive solicitations,
and other mechanisms.

Distribution Resources Plans (DRP)
Proceeding Activities
Key elements:
• DRPs (submitted July 2015)
• Integration Capacity Analysis (ICA)
• Locational Net Benefits Analysis (LNBA)
• Demonstration projects
• Other policy issues (Track 3)
• Data Access

Speaker #3
Name Background
Cara Lee Senior Conservation Manager at The Nature Conservancy• Leads work on energy issues in New York, ranging from grid
modernization and renewable energy to creation of “Development by Design” tools
• Initial project was creation of the state’s first comprehensive biodiversity and energy development mapping tool, in collaboration with the NY State Energy Research Development Authority
• Continues to work on developing science-based tools and information that will promote responsible energy and infrastructure development and will improve the ability to establish policies and make decisions that will reduce carbon emissions and will avoid, minimize and mitigate impacts on natural resources
• Received her Masters in Environmental Management from Yale University’s School of Forestry and Environmental Studies

• “Smart” Technologies
• New Business Models
Reinventing Electricity in New York
New York’s “Reforming the Energy Vision” (REV)
Empowering
Customers to
better manage
energy…
Improving

NY Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goal
40% Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2030
NY’s Clean Energy Standard
50% generation from renewables by 2030
REV Programs
Is climate change a concern?
Do people want more clean energy options?
Are New Yorkers willing to pay more for cleaner energy?
Would New Yorkers be willing to change behaviors?
Do New Yorkers support REV concepts?
