PG&E’s Projected 2009 Electric Delivery Mix

5

We’re committed to Energy Efficiency

PG&E has saved more than 155 million MWh and 12.5 billion therms from installed energy efficiency measures, which is the equivalent of powering over 23.5 million homes with electricity and heating 25 million homes with natural gas

1. Energy Conservation (No Cost) -Changing usage patterns to reduce energy consumption

2. Energy Efficiency (Low Cost) -Using less energy without changing patterns

3. Energy from Renewable’s (Investment) -Energy generated from natural resources (Solar, Wind, etc)

4. Carbon Offsets -Programs that allow individuals to reduce their impact on climate change

Why Energy Efficiency Before Solar?

• Bigger “Bang for your Buck”– Less usage = smaller energy bills

– Cheap, easy, and less destructive to implement than other methods of energy

– Less usage smaller solar system needed lower cost

• Energy Audit Required to Participate in CSI Program– Educate yourself and your customers

• Analyze usage

• Learn what to do

• Contractor– Competitive advantage

9

Before Solar

10

Energy Audit: SmartEnergy ™ Analyzer

• Create a profile of your home and appliances

• Identify how much energy and money you can save

• Create a customized energy plan

11

Step 1. Conservation Practices (No-Cost)

• Keep your thermostat at 68 degrees in the winter and 78 degrees in the summer (health permitting)

• Adjust thermostat up/down when you leave home or go to bed

• Lower your water heater’s thermostat to 120 degrees F

• Only run full dishwashers and loads of laundry

• Turn off the water when brushing teeth, washing dishes, etc.

• Take shorter showers

12

Step 1 (con’t). Conservation Practices (Low Cost)

• Install faucet aerators, ultra-low flow toilets and showerheads

• Install irrigation controllers or, even better, drought- tolerant landscaping

13

Step 2. Strive For High Efficiency (Low-Cost)

• Replace regular light bulbs with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs)– CFLs lasts up to 10 times longer and

use up to 75% less energy than regular bulbs

• Look for the PG&E sticker and save!

– Dispose of burned out bulbs properly by visiting Earth911.org to find a recycling facility

14

Step 3. Strive For Higher Efficiency (Investment)

• Buy high efficiency appliances (i.e., clothes washers, dishwashers, water heaters)– These appliances use 10% to 50% less

energy than standard appliances

– Look for the ENERGY STAR®

• Weatherize your home– Insulate your attic and your walls

• We offer Rebates!

Going Solar

40

Go Solar• Do your research:

– Roof conditions

– Shading and direction of roof

– Obtain bids from a minimum of 3 contractors

– How much usage to be offset (size of system)

•

41

Go Solar• Reduce Costs

– California Solar Initiative• 10 year program (2007-2017)

• Must be in Investor Owned Utility (IOU) territory

• Residential Retrofit, Non-Residential retrofit/new construction

– Federal Tax Credit• 30% of net cost

• Extended through 2016

– Net Energy Metering• Meter keeps track of debits/credits

• “Buy and sell” at the going rate

• Cannot make a profit
