Comment:
Below are comments from the City of Oakland specific to the Energy section of the Draft Scoping Plan. These comments were also included in the City of Oakland's letter submitted to the General Comments section of this website. 1. Encourage Distributed Renewable Energy Generation The Plan recommends increasing the utility renewable portfolio standard but does not address renewable distributed generation (RDG), which is typically not part of the utility portfolio. The State should extend policies that encourage RDG, such as feed-in tariffs for California Solar Initiative-eligible projects, self-service wheeling and tariffs for sale of RDG in master metered buildings, and re-opening direct access contracting to producers of clean, renewable electricity. The State should also provide incentives to local governments to achieve better than 33% use of renewable energy in their communities through a variety of mechanisms (e.g., local installations, pooled purchasing).
