2:24 pm
flush them out and have a discussion about them and what we did with community advocate support was put out an rsp and answer all the questions people were having about the program get solutions to them and address put into a report and we came up with enernex winning the bid and it's over 200 pages i hope you have all read it by now especially you commissioner arce you have plenty of time now to read reports i'm sure. >> cover to cover. >> i'm going through the presentation that they presented you can go and watch that on sfgtv if you want to go back and read the whole thing i'm going to skim over it but i wanted you to have the full presentation so if you have questions on any of the slides i can go ahead and pull them out but otherwise i'm going to skip on their selections here.
2:25 pm
first off they looked at a whole bunch of reports and meetings and part of the meetings were with the department of environment staff to make sure they were getting the best information on the work you guys were doing here so they could incorporate that that into the report as well and given 12 basic tasks the first one how to utilize sfpuc staff to run the program the first was using shell energy and doing a lot of the contracting and realized that puc staff actually does all the work that shell was talking about and they came back and said yes they could do this very well and we should utilize the staff more and get rid of shell which is one of the things the staff is doing at this point and looked at timing and benefits of local build out
2:26 pm
and one thing they did was the discussion around small scale the behind the meter work energy efficiency they were able to go through all the reports the puc put together a lot of reports to talk about all of the big scale projects available in the city and also property it owns outside the city the airport going all the way up through the water delivery system sites up there potentially available for solar and wind projects and scouring all of those things out and coming up with the average cost of doing work throughout the entire project and they came up with averaging of economic impact so we can understand how many jobs could be created and they listed here the sites they had throughout the system that we considered regional and we took the local hiring ordinance
2:27 pm
and said anything falling within the local hiring region would qualify as a local or regional job it's too hard from an economical scale san francisco being so small you can't do an economic report that's really san francisco based you have to look at a broader based area and they are two different models but similar in nature and you will see numbers missing those were projects that actually fell outside the regional jurisdiction and they took those out of this particular slide here and went through energy efficiency strategies that could be used emphasising the work and the city has the availability to apply for those moneys and some moneys actually still have to go through pg&e and they were pointing out some
2:28 pm
of differences and also the early discussion of this program was that it was going to be mostly focussed on residential but commercial and residential would be involved. it was in some ways on the back burner in some instances and so while the big picture stuff was on the residential and they were bringing up yes we know commercial can be done and highlighting some some of the things already in the program and the importance of of the commercial and industrial to the program. if we can change our climate and start reversing it back to where it needs to to be we might have some extra resource in hetchy and how we can utilize that better for
2:29 pm
for the residential and commercial customers in the city would be able to access hetchy if there's excess available after the city meets their net and solar incentives and behind the meter work and then they looked at how financing can work around these programs and looked at next steps and i guess i'm missing the one slide i was looking for for here. what they did was took all of the big commercial projects we have available to us right now the city knows they exist and i want to be blunt about this -- some of them are not cost effective right now and if you did build all of them became after analyzing it over 9 thousand jobs could be created not just locally but also regionally and statewide and the number gets cut down if you go to a
2:30 pm
regional based project. the city generate can s enough energy for its own needs we already have enough energy for our own needs we need more customers where do you find more customers? you can try to bring in large commercial customers. we have the bayview hunters point project but the biggest thing you can do immediately right away is launch a cca program that will bring in a whole bunch of newcomers and gives you the ability to go and look at which of these projects should we start to look at. it's going to be a to be a ten, , 20-year down the road type of thing. if we just kept
