Clean Energy Is on the Right Side of History

Global Perspective:-1

A record 157 GWs of renewable power commissioned in 2017, up from 143 GW in 2016, nearly a 10% increase, and far more than the 70

GW of fossil fuel added.

Renewable energy, excluding large hydro, contributed 61% of the world’s new generation capacity built in 2017.

Solar alone accounted for 98 GW or 38% of the net new power capacity added in 2017, more than the net additions of coal, gas and nuclear combined.

Global Perspective:-2

The $280 invested in renewables in 2017 far exceeded the $103 billion invested in fossil fuel generation, $42 billion in nuclear, or $45 billion in large hydro dams.

Renewables still have a long way to Last year 12.1% of electricity produced worldwide came from renewables (up from 11% in 2016).

Even so, renewables prevented the emission of 1.8 gigatons of carbon dioxide.

Clean Energy Jobs

Clean energy sectors employed 3 million Americans in 2016

Energy efficiency provided 2.2 million jobs in

2016 according to the US DOE.

Solar has been the fastest growing job-creator among all electricity generation technologies It creates more than twice as many jobs as the

fossil fuel industry.

Solar added almost 74,000 jobs between 2015 and 2016 Wind was second, adding 24,650.

The electricity storage sector is growing like mad, added 91,000 jobs in 2016

How Is Oregon Doing?

Net Metering Policy Grade: A (but need to raise cap)

Interconnection Policy Grade: A (but needs an upgrade)

Tax Credits: Incomplete (RETC expired; will WRAP

residential solar tax credit or another alternative rise from the ashes?)

Renewable Portfolio Standard: 50% by 2040

RPS Solar Carveout: Needs an upgrade with “teeth” and include local distributed solar

Resource Value of Solar Proceedings: In process but the devil is in the details

How Is Oregon Doing?

Community Solar: Legislation enacted and OPUC

proceedings underway, but the devil is in the details

Oregon Clean Energy Jobs (Cap and Invest) Bill: Did not pass in 2018 Governor and legislative leaders have committed to getting revised legislation

passed in 2019.

The First Solarize Campaign

The first Solarize campaign began with local Portland residents who wanted to install solar power, but didn’t know where to start They imagined that if they could organize a group of neighbors to “go solar” together, they could collectively make an informed purchase and negotiate a volume discount They turned to the local neighborhood coalition, Southeast Uplift, for assistance Southeast Uplift approached Energy Trust of Oregon for technical and program planning support By coincidence, Energy Trust had developed a solar PV volume purchasing program and was eager to test the model With community volunteers, neighborhood association staff, and Energy Trust support and rebates, the first Solarize campaign was born

Within six months of starting their campaign, Solarize Southeast had signed up more than 300 residents and installed solar on 130 homes The 130 installations added 350 kilowatts of new PV capacity to Portland and created 18 professional-wage jobs for site assessors, engineers, project managers, journeyman electricians, and roofers.2

Eighteen full-time permanent jobs were created by three solar installation firms (2010 self-reported numbers)

The SAC grant has supported a half-time employee for two years Additional City staff provided technical and

management assistance Portland has also provided sub-recipient grant funding to eight communities in Oregon totaling

$47,000 with the intent of replicating the successes of Solarize Portland across the state
