55 %Renewable Energy by 2025

2025 Goals

900 95055% MW + MW +55% renewable energy

900 MW of savings from energy efficiency and demand response

200 MW local solar,100 MW customer-sited, 10 MW local storage

All City of Austin facilities, operations and fleet carbon neutral

As Solar PV output ramps down in the evening, other fast response energy sources must ramp up quickly to meet peak demand load for a short period.

Austin EV Adoption

Equates to approximately 100,000 kWh of distributed battery storage

Importance of “Smart Charging”

kW

Time of Day

Goal of “Smart Charging”

Minimize Charging During Peak:• Generates more CO2 from

utilizing peak generation• Higher cost to provision• May overload transformers

Instead Charge Off Peak:• Reduce CO2e• Lower cost per kWh to provision• Leverage wind generation
