California regulators have released a plan that could radically change the way demand response is managed in the state. California Public Utilities Commission laid out a path for fuel-fired generators to be phased out of the state’s demand-side resource mix by 2018. First, in an upset for the traditional practice of firing up backup diesel generators for demand response, the CPUC wants to set a January 1, 2018 deadline to ban certain fossil-fuel backup generation resources -- anything using diesel, natural gas, gasoline, propane or liquefied petroleum gas. Second, the proposal calls on utilities to create “newer model programs to enable fast-response demand response and help meet California’s future capacity and ancillary service needs.”

The state will aim to generate half its power from renewable sources by the year 2030, an ambitious plan that will rely on big subsidies to nuclear power plants to help reduce the state's reliance on fossil fuels. The policy adopted Monday by state utility regulators puts New York in the company of California, Hawaii and Vermont as having one of the strongest clean energy goals in the nation. New York now generates roughly a quarter of its energy from renewable sources.

Smart Grid Canada Conference 2016

Modernizing the country's electricity system will take more than upgrading aging equipment; it will also require engaging consumers in order to integrate renewable energy and electric vehicles that we will see in the coming years. The electric grid has been hit with stronger storms in recent years and grid resiliency has become a key concern of citizens and politicians. These pressing issues were key themes at the 2016 SmartGrid

th thCanada Conference held in Montreal from September 26 – 28 2016. David Murray, President, Hydro-Quebec Distribution kicked off the conference with his insights and vision for the future. He highlighted Hydro Quebec's new storage technology in partnership with Sony. The conference was the platform for publishing the 5th annual Smart Grid Consumer Research. This research has become the benchmark in the industry for understanding the customer and how to better engage them in the modernization of the electricity system.

SmartGrid Canada hosted multiple inbound trade delegations from India, Norway, Korea, Japan, Austria, Belgium and Philippines giving delegates an opportunity to understand new perspectives via this Trade Mission. Representatives from Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL), Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation (CESC) and India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) attended this Trade Mission. There were International Business-to-Business Matchmaking Sessions co-hosted by SGC and Global Affairs Canada. In prior years, the SmartGrid Canada conference has attracted trade delegations from abroad including Brazil, China, India, Europe, Chile and the United States.

The conference has become a key international event with the members of the Global Smart Grid Federation (GSGF) holding their Fall 2016 face-to-face board meeting in Montreal in concert with the Conference. The Global Smart Grid Federation (GSGF) is a global stakeholder organization committed to creating smarter, cleaner electrical systems around the world. GSGF is comprised of national smart grid organizations from fifteen countries and the European Union that brings together the intellectual capital of smart grid stakeholder organizations from around the world.

Other side events included a Smart Grid Cyber Security Symposium, hosted by the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces. This was the first of its kind in the country, attracting nearly 100 attendees. The symposium was targeted for utility security professionals, cyber security industry, security academics and government regulators. Designed to address the current security issues facing the industry and develop a community of practice, which was a resounding success with audience members having to stand outside the hall to hear the speakers.

ICEF 2016 Statement from the Steering Committee -Toward achieving net zero anthropogenicCO emissions2

ICEF (Innovation for Cool Earth Forum) was established in 2014, by the initiative of Mr. Shinzo Abe, the Prime Minister of Japan, and the ICEF’s Third Annual Conference was held on October 5-6, 2016 in Tokyo. More than 1,000 experts from governments, businesses and academia representing about 80 countries and regions attended and discussed a variety of topics in plenary and concurrent sessions.

The Steering Committee of the ICEF welcomes the historic Paris Agreement reached at COP21 in December 2015. Taking into account the Agreement as well as active discussions at ICEF, the Steering Committee is pleased to announce the following statement:

1. Our basic understandings: The climate is changing and global emissions continue to rise despite global effort since 1997 when The Kyoto Protocol was agreed. As a result, the global temperature is on the rise, posing a great threat to humanity. Since the recent rise is caused mainly by human activities, we must ultimately stabilize the global temperature at levels that are not dangerous.

2. Our goal: The Fifth Assessment Report by the IPCC states that “cumulative total emissions of CO2 and global mean surface temperature response are approximately linearly related”. This means we must adopt as a goal to achieve at least NET ZERO ANTHROPOGENIC CO2 EMISSIONS in the long run in order to stabilize global temperature levels. This is the principle applicable to any level of temperature stabilization including the 2-degree target. We should pursue this goal together with other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as poverty alleviation, economic growth and energy access as articulated in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This is not an easy task; rather, it is very challenging. Achieving net zero CO2 2 emissions requires, for example, 100% carbon-free power generation (renewables, nuclear and fossil fuel with CCS) and all energy sources of automobiles must be converted to bio-fuels, electricity and hydrogen that are produced in carbon-free processes. In doing so, technological innovation and policies to transform global energy and socio-economic systems are essential.

3. Role of ICEF: ICEF is an international forum to promote innovation in addressing climate change. Therefore ICEF is one of the best-suited platforms to discuss the longterm innovations needed to achieve our goal. Innovation is crucial not only to achieve our goal but also to enhance our ambition for deep emission cuts without causing additional burden to our economy.

4. Role of public and private sectors in promoting technology innovation: Technological innovation in both supply and demand sides should be promoted through free competition among actors in the private sectors. At the same time, the role of the public sector is essential especially for the long-term research and early deployment of new technology through institutional arrangements and financial supports. It is rather hard for actors in the private sectors to bear the full cost to develop innovative but

uncertain technologies while the fruits will be shared with competitors. To mobilize massive amount of financial resources for investing in innovation, it is essential for governments to show the private sector the clear direction of our future. The best combination of private and public roles in innovation should be pursued.

5. Need for international cooperation: To cope with global climate change, international cooperation is imperative in every aspect from policy to technology innovation. In this sense, we welcome “Mission Innovation” launched in November 2015 by 20 Major Economies, and other international initiatives in this area being promoted. In view of enormous demand for infrastructure in developing countries, developed countries should cooperate with developing countries to promote diffusion of technologies to avoid “lock-in” effects. Such efforts should be accompanied by financial and other means of assistance.

ICEF2016 Roadmap Projects: Two ICEF Roadmap drafts were presented in concurrent sessions of ICEF 2016 annual meeting and discussed as global industry-academia-government initiatives for sharing visions for the development and dissemination of innovative low carbon technologies. They were also presented at the Closing Session of the annual meeting.

2The roadmap for CO Utilization resulted from the efforts of the Steering Committee member Mr. David Sandalow (former Under Secretary of Energy, U.S.DOE) et al. After assessing almost 180 global technology developments on the basis of their technology feasibility, readiness, markets and momentum, 4 fields (fuel, construction materials, chemical products and polymers) have been shown close to practical use.

The other roadmap is for ZEB / ZEH (Zero-Energy Building / Zero-Energy House). Many roadmaps of this area have been created by international organizations or national/local governments, but none took the humidity factor fully into consideration, even though it greatly affects the level of comfort. The draft ICEF roadmap focused on humidity because the regions where population and energy demand are expected to increase are located in humid areas. In the concurrent discussion, humidity, natural ventilation and insulation of windows were the main topics of discussion.

The two drafts will be revised to reflect the opinions and comments received at ICEF, and the finalized versions will be presented at an ICEF side event of COP22. The final roadmaps will also be published on the ICEF website.

Regulators and Policymakers Retreat, Goa, Sept 2016

thThe 17 Regulators and Policymakers Retreat (RPR) 2016 with an aim to trigger out-of-the-box thinking by interspersing the intellectual discourses was successfully conducted by the Independent Power Producers Association of India (IPPAI) from 22 - 25 September 2016 in Goa. The RPR was inaugurated by Shri Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India. Ministry of Power, Ministry of Coal, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and Punjab State Electricity Regulatory Commission provided their support to this event. The event looked at the aspirations of young Indians keeping in mind the ways of improving their living standards by benchmarking it to the western narrative of development.

Mr. Nitin Gadkari while addressing the theme of the conference – 'India- Meeting the Aspirations?' said: “We need to start an agricultural revolution in India using cheap electricity for farmers from pit-head power plants and urea produced using domestically available coal bed methane (CBM) or coal gasification. Expensive urea imports would not be required.”

Mr. Piyush Goyal, Minister of State with Independent Charge for Power, Coal, New and Renewable Energy, in a pre-recorded message, said that the UDAY scheme is the most significant step ever taken to remove the financial constraints in the distribution segment and will bring efficiency in the workings of the state electricity distribution companies.”

The event spanning 3½ days included 10 sessions, 75 + speakers, 1 masterclass, 300 + participants, and 25 + awards. Some of the key topics of the debates and deliberations

included: Meeting the Aspirations – infinite desires and finite resources; transmission challenges and the way forward; smart India; challenges for solar and wind; and environment: India to meet the energy demands of 1.25 billion people through a low carbon trajectory/strategy?; Smart Grids and Smart Cities.

The RPR provides a platform for its participants to engage with cerebral persons in the industry and across sectors. It has over the years won itself a position of distinction and has been recognized as a confluence of innovative and informative flow of ideas and knowledge.
