  • A Frontline Vision to Retire New York City's Peaker Plants by 2030
    MARCh 2021 A PEAK COAlition REPORT A Frontline Vision to Retire New York City’s the Peaker Plants by 2030 fossil fuel end game New York City Environmental Justice Alliance New York Lawyers for the Public Interest THE POINT CDC • UPROSE • Clean Energy Group THE FOSSIL FUEL END GAME • ii • A PEAK Coalition Report ABOUT THE PEAK COALITION The PEAK coalition—UPROSE, THE POINT CDC, New York City Environmental Justice Alliance (NYC-EJA), New York Lawyers for the Public Interest (NYLPI), and Clean Energy Group (CEG)— has come together to end the long-standing pollution burden from power plants on the city’s most climate-vulnerable people. This coalition will be the first comprehensive effort in the US to reduce the negative and racially disproportionate health impacts of a city’s peaker plants by replacing them with renewable energy and storage solutions. Our collaboration brings technical, legal, public health, and planning expertise to support organizing and advocacy led by commu- nities harmed by peaker plant emissions. Together with communities, we are advocating for a system of localized renewable energy generation and battery storage to replace peaker plants, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, lower energy bills, improve equity and public health, and make the electricity system more resilient in the face of increased storms and climate impacts. This report lays the groundwork to make the case for that transformation. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Fossil Fuel End Game was prepared by Strategen Consulting on behalf of and in collabora- tion with the PEAK Coalition. This report was made possible through the generous support of The Scherman Foundation’s Rosin Fund, The JPB Foundation, The New York Community Trust, and the Merck Family Fund.

    2019-2030 Repowering Clean Gigawatt-Scale Potential for Residential Solar & Battery Storage in Los Angeles REPOWERINGREPOWERING CLEAN CLEAN | 1 | 1 Executive Summary The City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) have taken a leadership position by pursuing a path to 100% clean energy, including retiring aging fossil fuel powered plants in the coming years. This report Table of Contents shows how LADWP can raise its targets for local clean energy with residential solar to create a city-wide clean energy ‘virtual power plant’: rooftop solar Executive Summary .................. 1 and battery storage on as few as 75,000 Los Angeles homes can replace peak capacity of one of LADWP’s retiring gas plants. Setting the Stage for Solar and Batteries in Los Angeles ............2 Home solar has grown rapidly across California and nationwide. By 2030, LADWP can build a fleet of roughly 150,000 homes and 5,000 apartment buildings with home solar. This goal is achievable: as of 2018, nearly this much rooftop solar has Home Solar and Batteries in a already been deployed in San Diego Gas & Electric’s territory, along with a rapidly Virtual Power Plant .................5 increasing amount of battery storage. Through programs focused on areas with low solar penetration, LADWP can also bring savings and clean energy to 25,000 LADWP’s Home Solar and Battery homes and 2,500 apartment buildings in traditionally underserved and low income Potential ................................9 communities. What Will it Take to Realize This The cost of advanced batteries has declined rapidly, supporting the rapid growth of energy storage.

  • Nrg Astoria Repowering Project Volume 1 - Proposal
    NRG ASTORIA REPOWERING PROJECT VOLUME 1 - PROPOSAL INQUIRY NUMBER Q13-5441LW CONTINGENCY PROCUREMENT OF GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION SUBMITTED TO: NEW YORK POWER AUTHORITY DATE: MAY 20, 2013 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Inquiry No. Q13-5441LW Astoria Repowering Proposal Safe Harbor for Forward Looking Statements This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions and typically can be identified by the use of words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “should,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “plan,” “guidance,” “believe” and similar terms and include our strategy, expected benefits and timing of the Astoria project. Although NRG believes that its expectations are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct, and actual results may vary materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated above include, among others, general economic conditions, hazards customary in the power industry, weather conditions, competition and changes in wholesale power markets, the volatility of energy and fuel prices, failure of customers to perform under contracts, changes in government regulation of markets and of environmental emissions, the condition of capital markets generally, our ability to access capital markets, unanticipated outages at our generation facilities, adverse results in current and future litigation, failure to identify or successfully implement acquisitions and repowerings, the inability to implement value enhancing improvements to plant operations and companywide processes, and our ability to realize value through our hedging strategy.

Some energy basics For thousands of years, man has been using wind energy to facilitate his work both on land and at sea. On land, wind energy was used to operate grinding mills or pumping stations, at sea to sail boats with- out rowing. While in former times the emphasis was on purely mechanical work, such as the milling of grain and water pumping for irrigation, the focus today is on converting wind energy to angular mo- mentum to turn a generator and thus produce electrical energy in a most environmentally compatible, resource-saving and cost-efficient way. Let us start with some energy basics to explore the worldwide potential of wind power, this renewable energy source which is fed by the sun.
