round. the job to us at starbucks it's not only a way to make a living but hope young people with a career and from - this is most first job. the starbucks is the organization that our jobs include height benefits and tuition grrments so when a youth comes to us they get the same health care i get (clappin (clapping) you know, i individually remember the first year when we did the resume workshop and interviews we hired julie guatemalan in her senior year the job helped her with customer

it is in their interest to make the investments themselves we funded the audit there at the airport, and then the airport took that information and sunk some additional money and time into the improvements implementing the measures, and so that is a good example of the type of enterprise customer program, implementation that we have seen. and then, finally, we have had a number of customer departments come to us and say,

look, we are going to be making improvements on our facilities, and we know that you have the expertise on energy efficiency and we would like to pay you to lend that expertise to the facilities improvements and so that is where the green commissioning and design review program comes into. and focus on the new construction and the retrocommissioning and really it insures that the city is building energy efficient in, when they make those facility and improvements and so a good example of that is the recently opened public safety building. >> and with that, i think that i have given you a good teaser on the different things that we do and i am happy to answer any questions that you may have. thank you. >> thank you. and if i could ask a quick question, and we talked about it on the commission of the environment and the folks that we talked about today and can you give us status report on clean power sf? >> yes. so, we are and we are actively

cooperating collaborating with the lasco folks in performing some additional study on the feesbility on pursuing the clean power sf and we are also aware of the feesbility study ordinance that supervisor avalos sponsored along with a number of his colleagues, supervisor colleagues. and so we are in assistance mode on those two efforts that really are looking at the feesbility of joining or otherwise working with marine clean energy, or self-performing community choice ago agree gaysing program through the las co-study performance work. we are standing ready once the

policy makers have resolved ongoing forward approach to go forward but at this time, our focus really is on operating and maintaining our system and making sure that we are maintaining the financial stability and feesbility of continuing to operate. that core function that we have. >> okay. thank you. >> you are welcome. >> colleagues? commissioner josefowitz has a question. >> given that the cost of the power is so low, how do you think about sort of the energy efficiency up grades, for instance, or solar on municipal buildings, which would make a lot of sense financially, to most of the normal customers. but, which might not sort of pencil out financially with the cost of the power. >> so to take, first, the low cost of the power and how it works for energy efficiency. you know, the enterprise

customer departments and the enterprise, rates to paying the customers that we have are paying the rate that they would otherwise be charged by pg&e and so they have the incentive to make those. and the general fund departments pay the rates that are from 35 to 62 percent below what they would pay if pg&e were the electric provider and they don't have the electric incentive to make the investment and which is why for those customer departments we are performing the soup to nuts service and making the investments ourselves. and that frees up the kilowatts that are not consumed at that department to sell at a rate that is more advantageous to us than those highly subsidized rates that the departments pay. >> so, if you save a kilo watt hour you can sell at a pg&e or

a wholesale? >> today it is largely at a wholesale rate as our customer base grows, for example, as the hunters point shipyard neighborhood develops and our customer base grows, the hours could be sold at an rate that is more comparable to the pg&e rate and we factor that into the economics of the decision and with respect to the solar and the systems that we have installed it and that they are paying for completely are a more expensive resource, than the hetchy resource, absolutely, but it still makes sense for us to diversify and make the investments where we have the opportunities here in san francisco. >> and is there a plan to put the solar on every municipal roof top, where it would not, or whether it would otherwise not be something preventing it like the shade or the tremendous amounts of shading or tear down the building in a few years or something like that.

>> not every municipal roof top is suitable for the solar and we have identified a pipeline of of potential projects, not just on municipal solar roofs, but also on land that the city owns and so, there are opportunities for the ground mounted solar, and today, we are a fully resourced utility and we have all of the kilo watt hours to serve the customers and were the base to grow and then it will make sense for it to develop more of those facilities, but do we have a plan to cover every municipal roof? no, i can't show you a document that says that, but we have evaluated those options. >> and have you evaluated, sort of the ground mounted solar, in the city limits or the land owned by the puc outside of the city? because you must have tremendous rights of way going out sort of to
