This eleventh report explores the latest results from public power’s wide range of energy efficiency programs. During the 2016 reporting cycle, POUs spent over $154 million on programs, resulting in more than 825,000,000 kWh of gross annual energy savings. When added to the total investments since the signing of SB 1037, public power has spent over $1.37 billion on energy efficiency and achieved nearly 63.6 billion kWh in lifecycle energy savings. As a whole public power is becoming more efficient at energy efficiency. From 2014 to 2016, annual energy savings grew by 3.7%, while program costs declined by 11.3%. As the state looks to double the energy savings from energy efficiency by 2030, the ingenuity and collaborative spirit of public power will be even more critical. The continued success of the past year provides an excellent foundation on which public power looks to build upon. Energy Efficiency in California’s Public Power Sector: 11th Edition — 2017 2 INTRODUCTION This report reflects public power’s response to a number of key pieces of legislation. This report compiles the required data from individual POUs into a single, comprehensive Assembly Bill 1890 (Brulte, 1996), infamous for document in compliance with §9505 of the facilitating the Energy Crisis in 2001, also Public Utilities Code. Furthermore, this plays a prominent role in California’s energy compilation fosters analysis of broader energy efficiency legacy. The bill established the efficiency trends and offers policymakers Public Goods Charge through which publicly data-driven considerations regarding the owned utilities (POUs) have funded energy practical impacts of their policies. efficiency programs for over two decades. The purpose of this report is not only to look Senate Bill 1037 (Kehoe, 2005) required each back on the success of the past year, but also POU to report annually to its customers and the to look ahead and inform discussions on how to Energy Commission on its energy efficiency and achieve additional energy savings in the future. demand reduction programs. Assembly Bill 2021 (Levine, 2006) directed “Energy efficiency is each POU to identify all potentially achievable cost-effective, reliable, and feasible electricity an enduring efficiency savings and establish 10-year challenge. Inefficient energy efficiency targets. use of energy and Assembly Bill 2227 (Bradford, 2012) changed hence waste of money the frequency of the 10-year energy efficiency and resources will potential studies from once every three years merit our attention for to once every four years to be consistent with the State’s Integrated Energy Planning process. the foreseeable future, and I believe the same Senate Bill 350 (De León, 2015) required the can be said of the annual report to include a comparison of actual energy efficiency savings to the annual target threat of climate adopted in the most recent 10-year potential change.” study. The bill also directed POUs to develop energy efficiency targets consistent with the Arthur H. Rosenfeld statewide energy efficiency targets adopted by the Energy Commission.

  • List of Itu Carrier Codes (According to Recommendation Itu-T M.1400 (03/2013))
    Annex to ITU Operational Bulletin No. 1060 – 15.IX.2014 INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION TSB TELECOMMUNICATION STANDARDIZATION BUREAU OF ITU _____________________________________________________________________ LIST OF ITU CARRIER CODES (ACCORDING TO RECOMMENDATION ITU-T M.1400 (03/2013)) (POSITION ON 15 SEPTEMBER 2014) ______________________________________________________________________ Geneva, 2014 List of ITU Carrier Codes Note from TSB 1. As the number of telecom operators in each country is growing rapidly, the number of interconnections between their networks is growing even faster. The standardization of designations of all the network interconnections is therefore of great concern for the operators involved. Only then are they able to do the provisioning and maintenance in a systematic and efficient way. 2. The proper use of Recommendation ITU-T M.1400 requires the identification of the operators sharing the interconnection. To that end an overall list of operators working in a country, with an officially recognized and standardized code for each of them, is of great help. It enables them to identify each other in a comprehensive and unique way. This will eventually result in one integrated database for all connections, in turn improving network operations and administration to the benefit of both providers and clients. 3. Due to liberalization of telecommunications and increased competition in the telecommunications industry, there is a mandatory requirement that telecommunications operators that interoperate be identified.
