whose names that i don't know about specifically have highlighted the very important nature of trees as part of the climate change efforts that we are undergoing here. before i continue, i would like to say, i would like to add to the resolution packet, i haven't exactly been involved in the resolution as it has gone forward, but through my research , i have come up with three documents, which i would ask that this particular committee, as well as the board of supervisors, as well as the public, there is the climate action strategy of 2013. the second is a san francisco urban forest plan of 2014, and the third, i guess is the 2017 greenhouse gas reduction strategy update. i would ask that each of these be, if possible, appended,

perhaps amended, perhaps included in the public record, or perhaps provided by hand to the supervisors and the legislative aides. i have been working with supervisor mandelman, a lot of these documents, as i'm sure you know are very difficult to find online. if we pulled them from the p.d.f. and provide them to the public, et cetera, we will have a more robust discussion as the resolution goes forward. some of the other people have talked -- one of the things i specifically want to identify is that this particular resolution, to the extent it goes forward, will have the department of the environment put together in the proposal, and i hope, number 1, that the department of environment has the funds to put forth a quality report, second, that the department itself is

given the funding to keep -- i forgot what the second point is, but the third is, i really want to make sure that the department of environment has somebody on staff specifically who knows about urban canopy and trees. those are very specific kinds of evaluations that have to be made , and i would like that there be consideration of that, and forth, simply that the budget goes forward with the mayor, with the supervisors and needs to have commitment, which obviously is unfortunately -- i just can't figure out what the budget does. >> thank you. >> sarah?

>> hello. i have a comment from 350 bay area, my friend, who couldn't stay, he has a couple of suggestions. first, we need concrete actions, of course,. one, move up the electricity resource plan goals. we need to achieve 100% renewable energy before 2030. we have to do it. two, get out of buildings, get out the natural gas used for space and water heating. you can start by setting a future effective date to ban the sale or ends the sale of gas furnaces. we no longer need that technology, that stuff is a

methane, it is a vicious greenhouse gas. you guys know this. okay, then from 350 san francisco, we wholeheartedly support this resolution. we are delighted to see it. you know the urgency of the work i will just leave you with something that might be good to tell your colleagues that struck me when the ipc was -- in his latest and most dire report was being presented in a press conference, at a question was asked, so looking at your recommendations, what should we do? should we do this, or this, or this, and the answer came back in this context, we cannot say or. the conjunction we must use is and. we must do everything. >> thank you. next is max dennis. >> hello. i am a member of ccl.

i am here because climate change affects the most vulnerable among us. i think we all know that. like most of us here, i have friends and family who are among the most vulnerable. my grandparents are low income and they have to pay increasingly high air-conditioning just to pay to live in san francisco and to stay alive. my brother also uses a real chair and he studies the relationship between disability and climate change. they're much more likely to get killed in climate disasters. hopefully with research, this will be reduced, but it will still be a huge problem. san francisco has felt the impact of climate change already and we will feel it more. we can expect more seawall flooding, homeless people in greater danger, and climate refugees from other parts of the state as their homes maybe burnt down and will need to find places to live. we will see the effects of that. that said, i'm excited we have an opportunity to advocate an an

effective climatology -- policy. they recently endorsed the ccl and the energy innovation carbon dividend bill, that is a carbon dividend nationally. the comments -- economist and scientist think this is the best solution we have. and that report said that with high enough carbon fees, we can avert the warming. we also need more housing. i'm here on behalf of the action as well and morton on car transportation infrastructure. we have way too many super communities in california and many of them come into san francisco and also california can take more people from the rest of the country because we have moderate climate and that will help us reduce carbon from a.c. and heating and all of that i think the most important climate bill in california today is more homes in sacramento from senator scott weiner. i hope that san francisco will endorse this bill.

i know it is an issue that is going out right now. we can also accelerate our own info housing and protect the bike lanes and transit. a bonus is both of these solutions, both the carbon dividend and more homes and general housing will reduce poverty. california has the highest poverty rate in the whole country. that is abysmal given our economic success and it's really because of housing costs and san francisco has the highest rate. the dividend will help people pay their bills, it will be a lot of money for low income families, and reducing the shortage will make housing more affordable. these solutions are a win-win, and i'm excited we have the opportunity to really infuse them into the debate in san francisco. thank you. >> thank you. any other public comment? >> good evening, commissioners. san francisco clean energy advocates, green party and california strategy choice. i started working on the climate

crisis policy way back in the mid-eighties when i first learned about it. i read a book by jeremy rifkin, and i have been working on this a long time, and it is obvious that we need to declare an emergency, that is a no-brainer. it is something that every city on earth needs to do, and so it's good that this resolution is coming forward from the supervisors and from you all, but i do want to talk about implementation because that's crucial. if we declare an emergency and don't implement our response properly, we could get into trouble, and a good example is james hansen himself, the man who warned us all in the mid- eighties about the climate crisis, about global warning. he is so caught up with the fact that this is an emergency that he promotes nuclear power, so how we choose to respond to the emergency is just as important as declaring it, and so first i

want to agree with the folks who spoke for the trees, and say we have to do that, that is crucial we need this. we can start by not cutting down 15,000 trees at sharp park, and this department saying to the recreation and park department, no, you don't. so the bigger issue i want to talk about is something that i've seen as someone who is working statewide on community choice policy, and that is a lot of people that are getting these climate emergency declarations forward in various cities and counties and are saying we should use community choice programs they clean power s.f. to immediately switch to 100% clean electricity, and what that means is you just change on paper what you are buying, it doesn't mean building any clean energy, it doesn't mean putting in battery storage, it doesn't mean building efficiency, it doesn't mean building microgrids

if we were to do what some folks that are well-meaning want to do in response to the emergency, and declare every communities now switched to 100% clean energy and what we purchase, that would create a very serious problem of there being so much demand on the market that the removal cost would skyrocket, because they wouldn't be enough supply to meet the demand. so construction infrastructure has to come first, and then we get to 100%, in other words, in san francisco, we need to make sure that we declare that we want to get to 100% renewable by 2030, and the way that we get there is to build a local infrastructure, and reasonable infrastructure that actually is solar panelled, wind turbines, battery storage, efficiency and the rest of it. if we are not doing that, we are not building anything, we're just creating higher demand, and

that doesn't solve the climate crisis fast enough, and it might even slow it down because it could cause the price price of renewables to go up. it is very important that as we move this forward we consider that we need to keep our focus on local infrastructure and building a local clean energy network, and that also ties in with the green deal aspect of this that we need to make a new deal to put people to work, not just make the energy cleaner. thanks. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> good evening. bayview hunter's point community advocates executive director. i am so honored that you guys are considering this on the night that you also honored cal broomhead because i was one of those people who was blessed to have him to look up to. he's an amazing person, and on this night, i do want to say

with the climate emergency resolution, that we need to push through our hesitancy that we have a lot of times on these issues. this is critical. we need to think aspiration only if there weren't people thinking aspiration only, your board would not be -- robert haley lived here who is head of zero waste, we would not have a bad then, a straw ban, we wouldn't be the leading light in recycling composting, we are the model for the world in composting because we his thoughts about our goals for 2020. it doesn't matter if we hit it, we set that goal. i really want to emphasize to you respected colleagues. stop saying 2014. the goal is 2030. you as well, lindy, we know that

you are fishing for 2030. do not even put 2050 in your documents. we wouldn't have madame director of the department of environment here as director. we would not have the state actually passing its ban on fire retardants in the state, we would not have, i have worked at unhealthy nail salons because of those aspirational programs. we need to focus on this. we do need to, as they said, focus on the equity of this because these are really expensive, really hard decisions we put in this resolution that we needed to have communities, disadvantaged communities, communities of color, those communities that keep getting forgotten. i don't want to just stress of communities of color, though that is my wheelhouse, but doing this work on equity has made me realize that there is a huge percentage of people who are

only in the city because of proper 13. they are doing as poorly or worse as i am in terms of keeping up with the finances, and realistically, if we were to preserve any character that we have in this city, of this city, we need to really be thinking about solutions that are fully funded, that are fully committed , that bring us all along, and that is really what we worked on in crafting this resolution. thank you very much. >> thank you. [applause]. >> next speaker? >> hello hello, commissioners. i am the program to mentor -- director for friends of the urban forest. i'm here representing trust and also dan flanagan, our executive director who regrets he cannot be here today. i'm excited to be here and to give our support of the climate emergency resolution, and because i am coming from friends of the urban forest, i will talk a little bit about trees.

i will not talk about the benefits, i think we all know that, and many of the previous speakers spoke to that. san francisco is a 17th amongst the top populist -- top 20 populist cities in san francisco. we rank 17th. we have a big opportunity for planting trees in san francisco, it is something we are very passionate about. we realize that a comprehensive tree planting initiative is a local action. that we can take in response to this global climate emergency. unfortunately, our tree population is shrinking rather than growing. in 2016, we passed the healthy treat safe sidewalks initiative. we had -- the passing of that initiative showed the passion that san franciscans have for our urban forest, and one of the things that public works has been focusing on is removing some of the most dangerous trees that we have on our streets. the initiatives in 2016 did set

aside funding for the maintenance of the trees, it did not set aside funding for the planting of trees. we are really struggling to make that happen. that is one of the reasons that we are losing trees and not gaining them right now because we are removing trees that are dangerous and we don't have all the funding that we need to plant more trees. the dire state of our urban forest is in parts of the decades of underfunding, and also seeing trees as decorative -- decorative and not as important parts of the urban infrastructure, and our climate. we do think it's important that -- and we are advocating for including treeplanting in our climate action strategy and our experience in the 2016 ballot initiative is that the people of san francisco support that, and also we know that as experts in the environment of community who

stand with us entries are important aspects of fighting climate change. as the saying goes, the best time to plant trees was 20 years ago, the second-best time is to plant trees today, and we don't have any time to lose. we need trees to adjust the climate emergency. thank you. >> thank you. >> any further public comment? if not, commissioner -- >> welcome. >> my name is lance, i would also like to talk about city trees is a factor in the urban climate change. the director of the san francisco department of environment pointed out that 35% of our carbon footprint comes from transportation. she also pointed out we have the greenest mass transit fleet in the country, but our city related vehicles only account for small sliver of that energy

footprint. basically the only way to really palatal the biggest chunk of our carbon footprint is to encourage people to use more earth friendly transportation modes like walking, biking, and increased transit usage. in order to get people walking in writing transit we need to make it welcoming, safe, and clean. there's plenty of research that shows reduce crime rates in areas that have trees, lower car speeds and a nice fact for the city, a vision zero initiative, and that trees provide u.v. protection, a more engaging environment, increased traffic to local businesses, and more. according to her, san francisco has some great and bimetal programs in place right now, some of the best in the country. but our climate efforts are being outpaced by our growth. our department is looking for every angle they can find to cut into that outpacing. trees are one answer, our city is not topped, letter loan prioritized. thank you.

>> thank you. >> anyone else? [indiscernible] >> thank you. >> thank you for the parrot movie. >> commissioner walt? >> thank you. i also want to thank supervisor mandel men and kyle for developing this resolution and especially for making it an action for saying resolution opposed to just a feel-good resolution. i also want to thank the members

of the public and the organizations who pushed for this resolution in the supervisor's office and before the policy committee when we met recently to talk about it. i want to thank the department's staff for not just bringing the resolution to the policy committee, but for being so responsive to the concerns and issues that the policy committee raised at the time of that meeting. those issues didn't include the budgetary issues that have been raised tonight, which to be perfectly honest, was not -- i was not aware of. and therefore, i don't know if

it's therefore, but i don't have any ideas for amending this resolution now, instead i just want to say, number 1, i would be interested in hearing more in the committee about this issue and what option we might have two address it but until that time, and given that this is what is before us, i would like to urge my colleagues on the commission to vote in favor of it. this evening and to do as somebody said earlier, to do it for cal. >> one moment, commissioner sullivan.

>> as a proud zealot. i am so happy to be able to hear everything today and to be able to support this resolution, and i am especially eager to hear about the action plan and the implementation that will follow this because as commissioner walton said, i really think it would be a shame that this was just a photocopy. we really need to find actions to follow-up, whether it is infrastructure, or solar, or efficiency, or getting to 100% green, i think whenever this department tries to move the needle on climate, there is often a reason why it can't be done. it is cost, artist too hard, or some other reason. i think the climate emergency can be used to battle all of these issues in the future. especially i want to thank

supervisor mandel ' office. i know when the activists went to the second floor of city hall and looking for someone to sponsor the resolution, supervisor mandelman when he was asked, his update was hell, yeah , and he jumped in with both feet with what phrasing would be best, but he didn't have to be asked a second time, so i want to thank supervisor mandel ' office, and i also have a fair amount of zealotry for trees. it was very exciting to hear the advocates for urban forestry out tonight and as a member of the urban forestry council, i know what carla said is exactly right , which is the set aside in street trieste f. provided around $20 million a year for tree maintenance, and it allowed it through removal, and as much as i love trees, many of the trees in the city are getting to the end of their useful life and they need to be replaced but we need to find the funding for

tree planting, and i think we especially need to prioritize trees that will sequester carbon i'm not sure that has a real factor in terms of the trees that we do plant, thank you to the department for all the work you've done on this. thank you supervisor mandel men and i'm so excited about the implantation of this. >> i know you ask questions on the front end of public testimony, but i have a clarification question and i want wanted to echo echo your support in your thank you to supervisor mandel men and two cal's parents. my question is, it would be helpful if wendy or kyle, either of you could share a little bit more about the implementation pathways, because when i read it , it is not really calling out any particular strategy.

it is very specific around the declaration of emergency, equity , which is great, but could you share more about the implementation pathway? and i'm assuming that would be an opportunity for the public to engage in issues like trees and public infrastructure and so on. >> thank you. >> can we have the power point? >> thank you for asking that question. i will just answer briefly about what the plan is. as you all know, this is how the arrow that is moving us along a trajectory. with the timing as we know it today, the resolution was submitted, and the next step is for us to complete the technical analysis, which is our pathway, an analysis of the action, the impact the actions have on reducing emissions. it is the first step towards the climate action strategy. it is a pacesetting and eight data-driven exercise to look at

what would happen if we just, as i showed you, what would happen if we met our 2030 goal that we have set for the city, and how close can we get to eliminating all emissions by 2050. that report will be completed. we are working with other city partners on this to make sure that the facts and the data and the analysis aligned with what we know from other efforts around the city and transportation on buildings and waste. the next step will be to present the findings of that effort which is the base and the foundation to build our action strategy upon. the argument i had made, i hope successfully as we want the policy basis, we'll have a technical understanding of where the emissions can be reduced, we next need to have a policy basis to build and implement strategies. once we have the policy basis that will identify and guide us, towards how we want the climate action strategy to talk about equity, to talk about inclusive

benefits, to talk about what we do with the emissions that we cannot reduce or eliminate, that we need to sequester, and they will direct that as a city towards what we want the climate action strategy to look like and to embody. the next step is to develop that implementation plan, and that is where we will be working along the way on early actions that we know we are already implementing , there i've said it it is like attaching a strategy to a flying plane. is a lot of action happening in this city, so we need to build the strategy around what is happening, and layout principles so we do achieve those equity goals that we all ascribe to, and that we do bring forward those inclusive benefits such as health and affordability, and a statics and the things that people in the city really care about alongside the emissions reduction. so that strategy we are hoping will be the action

implementation peace and one of the goals is that it will have implementation in it and it will clearly identify what the actions that is necessary, who is responsible for it to to its unique -- and use be informed or consulted or involved in the decision-making and if we are able, we will identify where the funding will come from to pay for that action. if he can't get there because decision sometimes come along the way through implantation of the action, we will identify what is a relative cost of the action. so we are building a robust plan that we can measure our progress against, beyond our missions -- emissions progress. >> perfect. that was helpful. thank you for revisiting that slide and the extra content was helpful. my quick follow-up question is what are the engagement pathways for the public? as was noted, trees seem like an important issue, as do other

issues, and i want to say i know this city is already making great strides in public vehicle infrastructure, but in terms of the specifics of the engagement possibilities and inform the process, could you share more what that looks like,. >> the first places that we will engage is at the board hearing, and invite people to come to the board hearing whether you are from an organization or you are a resident or a business. the board hearing will be the place the city will publicly begin the discourse on what the technical pathway looks like, what is possible to achieve if we actually take action towards the goals of the city has set already. the next will be the policy developments. we will have an opportunity for people to engage in that as well , community advocates and the community. one of the things we're working on that we have not talked to you about is a building sector strategy that we have working on for a year, and we have the next

year to finish it. we are starting with our community partners. we have a network of allied partners that have been working on affordable housing, on jobs and on community organizing. that is our first step to talk to them about how do we bring the questions we have about advancing building decarbonization to community. we are going to work with community partners to have them help us organize, develop, and implement community engagement on the building sector strategies, which is the first thing we are working on. there is the zero emission roadmap coming on and there's a lot of community engagement around each of those individual activities around transportation , and so we need to bring all that together and make sure that people -- they have the information that they need to engage on and we allow them to engage with what they need to. hopefully not on the entire strategy, because i believe that is quite large, but on the pieces that they value whether

it is the reducing heat and sequestering carbon, whether it is informing the building sector strategy so we have highly efficient, healthy, affordable and climate resilient focus. >> so the final quick thing. if you are a member of the public, and you are not a stakeholder that you maybe externally reaching out to, then with the best pathway for engagement be to ensure they are in touch with you, and secondarily, will there be any kind of web update in the way that the department so effectively updates people on the web about engagement opportunities? will there be web opportunities? >> i am happy to be the contact. we are working on how we have a digital presence, as well as an actual presence through community partners and allied networks on the ground. >> thank you so much. >> any further questions? if no further questions, then do

i hear a motion to approve the resolution file number 2019-01-0 e., declaration of a climate and reduced -- >> i moved. >> second. >> so moved. is there any further discussion? all in favor? >> aye. >> any opposed? motion carries. [applause] thank you for the questions and the presentation. the next item. >> the next item is item seven, discussion of how clean power s.f. is helping san francisco achieve its goals of being 100% renewal electricity by the year 2030 under the city charter, the

commission on the environment conduct public education and outreach to the community on san francisco charge of sustainability experts, the sponsors and the director have discussion and the president, there has been a request to switch a and b. is there any objection? >> no objections. >> okay, director raphael will introduce item seven, which will go seven b., and then seven a. there are two parts. we will have questions at the end of both presentations. >> thank you. yes, thank you to mike for being so patient. so as you all know, with san francisco climate action strategy being at 100% renewable energy, that is key, and part of

that is to have all of our electricity be 100% renewable and greenhouse gas free. one way we have been working towards that is with our community choice aggregation programs. this effort started back -- well , it started a long time before that, but in 2002, there was an important milestone in the state of california and carol meghan was part of this and adopted a law that enabled more jurisdictions to create their own community choice programs, and that legal permission started a very deep conversation in san francisco about what would our program look like, and since that time, we have not only had those discussions, but we have launched, and i want to very much acknowledge the work of the california -- of san francisco public utilities commission with leadership of barbara hale, and all the staff who have worked on her -- under her. mar is here tonight to talk with

us about how sign-ups are going. it is something that we have all been curious about for a while. they have some bold goals, and he will talk about how they are nearly complete. we will also be hearing from becca on our own staff. she will be talking about our promotions. our role for clean power s.f. at the department his not so much the implementation, but to help on the community outreach, and the uptake, so our department kicked off a 100% renewable super green program, and we thought it would be great to have the two together so you could see how our department is working with the san francisco p.u.c. in concert. with that, mike? >> thank you, director for that nice introduction and background and for having me here this evening. item seven b....

>> thank you. i the history is really helpful. i think it does show how long this has been in the works. it is an honor to be here tonight, especially on the night to are honoring cal broomhead. i worked with him in 2003 and 2004 when the city embarked on trying to launch a community choice aggregation program, so i can't think of somebody more committed to the environment than him. so he has inspired me, and i know a lot of people around here it is an honor to be here and share all the progress we have made so far. i would also note that with april being earth month, it is also an opportune time to be here, and it also happens to be

the month that coincides with our largest and final major enrolment into the clean power s.f. program. so it is exciting, but also very busy for us, but i am really looking forward to sharing some of that with you. i had a presentation, i will run through the slides, and i will be happy to entertain any questions you have afterward. i will provide some background on the clean power s.f. program. i will provide an update on our efforts to scale the clean power s.f. enrolment city wide, and i will share with you some information about clean power s.f.'s contributions to the city of renewable energy and greenhouse gas reduction goals. sends clean power s.f. is part of the san francisco public utilities commission, i want to start at the outset with a little bit about our enterprise.

the p.u.c. has been providing clean power to san francisco for nearly 100 years, so we have been in the business for quite a while. as the publicly owned electric utility in the city, the p.u.c. provides clean energy to city services and property, streetlights, redevelopment areas, waterfront sites and new development projects. the san francisco international airport is one of the power customers. of course, we operate the clean power s.f. program, our community choice aggregation. the slide illustrates those two services. the first are the electric services right now. so the first graphic on the slide shows how it is generated it is delivered to the statewide grid operated by the california system operator over city-owned

transition lines. it is then carried into the city and to our customers through pg and the distribution wires and city-owned wires. and ultimately to the end user. the second program illustrated here is a clean power s.f. under the model, the city takes responsibility for sourcing the production of electricity from clean and renewable sources of generation. when this power is produced, it is delivered into the high-voltage grid, and distributed locally by pg and e. it is a similar model. when the ethics easy developed and launched clean power s.f., we were guided by the following program goals. has developed over time with input from the mayor, the board of supervisors, and i were

commission. that is leading with affordable and competitive rates, and reliable service to provide cleaner electricity alternatives that deliver more renewable energy and he carbonized the city's energy supply by 2030 to invest in the city's electric supply revenues locally in new, renewable, and demand side projects with measures to reduce energy use in homes and businesses, and in the process, create new, clean energy jobs within the city and the bay area we are balancing the goals and providing long-term rate and program finance -- stability. one example of how we balance these goals when we launched clean power s.f. is by offering two product options for customers. when the city first considered launching clean power s.f. in 2013, it was planning to move

forward with a single product that would have been 100% renewable, but come at a premium over the prevailing pg and the rates. there was concern at the time about only offering that kind of a product, especially given the model becomes the default supplier of electricity in san francisco. when we ultimately launched this time around, we decided to offer two products to achieve a broader market appeal for the city, a default product, evergreen offering, which is priced -- price competitively with standard projects, and is 48% california rpf certified renewable energy, and that compares to pg and e. 39% renewable. we also offer a product customers can opt up to. we call it super green, and that features 100% renewable energy at a slight premium over the green product price.

to put that in perspective, super green cost the average customer about $4 more per month on their electricity bill than our green option. so for about the price of a latte or something like that. of course, clean power s.f. is a choice program. customers can opt out of the program and continue to take their supply service from pg and the -- pg and e. the court value proposition of clean power s.f. is to offer san francisco cleaner, more renewable energy at stable and competitive rates. you can see with this chart that much is the same for customers only transition to clean power s.f. service. i mentioned before that they continue to deliver the power, they are responsible for maintaining the grid and power outages, and you have an outage you want to report then you

still call pg and e. they continue to receive a single bill. clean power s.f. charges continue to be on that bill. it is a seamless experience on that bill. let's talk about enrolment and the status. when it committed to launching clean power s.f., the city and p.u.c. decided to stay in possible enrolment as a way of gauging interest. they have been serving customers in may of 2016 when they enrolled commercial customers and supervisory districts five and eight, and commercial and residential customers throughout the city who have signed up for the program prior to that time. it was approximately 8200 customer accounts in total. the s.f. p.u.c. called on staff to develop a growth plan which we delivered in may of 2017.

at that time, and consistent with directions from the mayor, the s.f. p.u.c. adopted two goals to complete citywide enrolment by july of 2019 or sooner, and to increase noble energy content for greenhouse products to 50% by 2020 or sooner. so how have we progressed. today we are actively serving 111 customer -- $100 -- 100,000 customers citywide that represent about 30% of our potential clean power s.f. accounts across the city. our customer retention rate since we launched is about 90 7% , and our super green upgrade rate is currently 3.8% of enrolled egg accounts. we have been happy that that has exceeded our opt out rate of three-point 3%. that amounts to about 4,000

homes and businesses that have voluntarily signed up to take 100 renewable energy from clean power s.f. i do want to plug that the department of the environment has been a great partner in putting the word out and helping us to recruit sign-ups. i do want to think director raphael understaffed for doing that. will continue for some time. i'm looking forward to our continued collaborations. we also have been very busy preparing for the upcoming enrolments. we will be welcoming 250,000 additional accounts next month which is in five days, so customers start heading out on the 1st of april. after that, the upcoming april enrolment, we estimate will be serving about 365,000 san francisco customer accounts. we have prepared a series of maps to illustrate what this growth looks like and has looked

like overtime. this first map shows that the distribution of enrolment in the program has -- as of june, 2018. think of this as the first phase and sign-ups that happen from 2016 to june of 2018. at that time, we were serving 82,000 accounts. you can see the icon -- the high concentration of enrolment in the center of the city. the districts that we had enrolled back in may and november of 2016 and you can also see that at that time we were serving accounts all over the city in every district. this next slide shows where we are at today and these changes reflect the addition in july of 2018 that are approximately 25,000 mostly commercial accounts that we enrolled. and again, around ever major enrolment, we did quarterly enrolments for customers who

have signed up. we have also been enrolling customers -- solar customers that meet their demand and we have been doing that to protect them from truing up their net metering balance off cycle, so we have done that in cycle with the regular process. finally, looking forward, this is what we expect the map to look like in june after we have completed our april enrolment, and you can see very clearly how it fills in. there is some grey spaces in there which are parks, for the most part, and in some cases, services that are provided by power that is not reflected on this map. as you would expect, citywide

enrolment involved a significant amount of outreach and customer education, under state law, the city must provide notices to customers informing them of the terms and conditions of the program and their choices, including the opportunity to opt out. as a result, we have conducted a major enrolment noticing campaign, and you can see here on this slide, images from the checkbook style enrolment noticed that we started mailing to customers in february, so by the time customers start to get cut over this april, they will have received two notices from us, and then following the cutover, they will receive another two notices over the following 60 day period. our communications team is also very busy engaging the community in presentations and public events. we have been preparing target outdoor and digital advertising. you may have already seen our munimobile bus advertisements,

which started rolling out last week. of course, we are leveraging social media, we're partnering with the board of supervisors and other city departments like the department of the environment, and i think today, our staff conducted a training with the department of the environment staff, and we have also been coordinating with the green building certification program to help identify super green customers, but also connect super green customers with that program as an incentive to sign up. and we have also been expanding research -- outreach to some of the limited english communities within language advertisements and the community presentations. here are some examples of those advertisements. you can see it is a little dark, but the rear of the munimobile bus, there was recently an ad in the examiner as well with some

catchy engagement with readers. so with that background, with updates on enrolment efforts, i will turn to looking at how clean power s.f. is contributing to our renewable energy targets and greenhouse -- greenhouse gas emission goals. this pie chart here illustrates clean power s.f.'s power makes for 2008, and this is a preliminary power content label. it is mislabelled. i think this is 2017 or 2018. so last year we delivered more than 40% renewable energy to customers. with an additional 45% carbon free energy from hydroelectric resources that we procured including from the system.

only 7% of our electric energy delivered to customers came from emitting sources, which was grid purchases, unspecified grid purchases the power mix was at least 90% greenhouse gas last year. we are planning to expand our renewable and clean energy supply to meet the city's goal of 50% renewal biked by 2020 and a limit carbon by the climax in 2030. you can see that with this slide it summarizes the annual program sales. those are the bars here and either targets for the future. they extend out to 2030. you can see the light green

segments of each bar the dark green segments supplies what we are planning to provide an additional amount of energy for our super green sales. the blue segment represents other zero carbon sources like hydroelectric, of course, renewable energy, nonhydro energy could substitute here, and finally the grey segment record represents conventional power purchases for the grand. you can see the significant growth in our program sales. that is one of the things that really stands out to me. in this slide, we are on that dotted line right now. i guess we are technically in 2019, but that is a really big jump from 2018 to 2019.

that has been a lot of work to develop the portfolio, of course, to get there, but one thing, two is we are planning to shrink that grey segment over time so that by 2030, it is gone this is part -- this represents our regular, by annual planning process that informs our procurement work for entergy. in the last slide i have for you , it is intended to give you a sense of how clean power s.f. 's program has performed from a target standpoint since we began serving customers in 2016. what you see here is the average portfolio carbon emissions for the energy produced and delivered for both pg and e. and clean power s.f.

we are benchmarking ourselves for pg and e. and the green bars represent clean power s.f. annual emissions rates, so you can see that immediately when we launched clean power s.f. in 20 16, they delivered electricity resources that emitted 30 7% less carbon on average than pg and e. in 2017, we had a very wet year

it was a small program at that time, as you can tell from the previous slide, and for the year we just completed in 2018, we are projecting the emissions rate will be less than pg and the pick one really important thing i want to point out, and maybe you all deserve this -- have observed this is what is happening to pg and the's emissions, which is pretty dramatic. this is the other side of the effect of community choice aggregation, is that communities all throughout the state are taking on the responsibility of outsourcing electricity for their communities and taking that responsibility from them for the most part, and as a result, their existing resources become a greater part of the energy supply that they are delivering so that they are able

to have a greener portfolio, just because their sales are decreasing. but it does put the burden on san francisco and the other communities to make that growth in new renewable energy happen. i am really happy to say that clean power s.f. has already contributed to that. we buy renewable energy from operating plants, we have to do that in order to serve our customers, but we have also entered into two long-term contracts to develop newer renewable resources in california, a solar project, and a wind resource repowering, so they are taking old turbines down and putting up new ones, in those projects, the first project will come online in july this summer. that will produce enough power to produce about hundred 30,000 average san francisco homes, and the project will come online at

the end of next year. we are also working on some additional new projects as well. so that's how we are really pushing new development and new renewable energy resources, or have so far. there is a lot more work to do. i think that will stop and i'm happy to to take any questions you might have. >> thank you. we will do comments and questions and then public comments before we go into our next speaker. commissioners? >> great presentation. i want to zero in on one number. 3.8% of clean power s.f. has upgraded to 100% renewable. is that after our advertising program? does not reflect the advertising that we did? >> we have definitely seen -- we saw a very big bump last fall

around the global climate action summit, which i think coincided with the advertising effort. it was one of our best periods in terms of sign ups. >> i used to be even lower. >> yes, and it grows every week, every day, by a little bit. and they have a similar program. >> it is called solar choice. >> what is their percentage? >> i don't know offhand, but i do believe it is lower, but he don't know offhand. we do keep track of that kind of stuff. >> i got an e-mail today from a friend who signed up from 100% renewable and he copied me on the e-mail to you guys because i have been hounding him to do this.

>> the process was way harder than it needed to be. and then he went, i have the same experience my switch to 100% renewable. i went online, and i needed my account number, but i had tossed my bill. i never keep the bill, so i didn't have it. i have to believe that there is a way to make it easy for people to switch, and if we made it really easy, we have way more than 3.8%. i hope we can find a way to help people like my friend who would -- >> thank you for the feedback. >> thank you. i have a follow-up question on super green and another question my follow-up question is, are

you satisfied with the three-point eight% enrolment, is that what you all projected before you launch the program? it seems very low to me. >> i can understand that. we actually set a goal of 5%. we thought it was a reasonable starting point. most reform lower than where we are at, and part of it is because it requires taking an action on the part of the consumer. if i could have the slides again what we are trying to do in the bigger picture. i think i understand where we are coming from from the environmental perspective here, and we are trying to make the entire energy mix that we deliver as clean as possible.
