is not a doctored photo and it really shows up and glows out on the sunset and we have five, mega watts of solar and that is the purchase agreement and so we purchase the output and the performance risk for the facility are held by the facility own and her we purchase the output and also to the extent and the clean power sf program is implemented and i heard that there is interest in us talking about that as well today, chair. and that would be a 100 percent renewable program. and it would be largely wholesale purchases of california, compliant renewable product. and moving then to the customer efficiency. and we have ten million dollars, set aside of our net operating revenue and our ten year capitol plan to send on energy efficiency and improvements for our customers facilities. and first off, we have 1.62 million of that dedicated to the civil center and sustainability district. and that is a program where we look at whole building upgrades driving for lead certification in the historic district and not only the historic are included however, the symphony hall is included and so, is

but it's the mega watt hour. you can see the pg and e is at 445 and light green which is at 380 and 0 for deep green because it's 100 percent renewable. the question i get asked is what is it going to cost me if i switch to mce. the exciting thing is even with the highest percentage of renewable energies, it's lower. this year we're expect to save our customers $5.1 million. this is showing what the average monthly bill would cost for a customer. light green is a little bit cheaper than what pg and e would be charging. deep green is more expensive. we charge our customers an additional penny per kilo watt. and then whole shares, the 100% local solar project which is going to come online later this year is more expensive. it's linked to a feed and turf program that we offer. so the cost of shares is the cost of what we're paying the producer in our service area to build that. it's a rate that is locked in to a 20 year term because it's directly connected to this contract so it will never exceed that amount and the

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 other places? >> yes it is mostly outside of san francisco. and in the ground field areas that we have looked at. but, we most of the opportunities are outside of the city, and frankly, they are more economic outside of the city not just because of the cost of the land but also because of the solar exposure and the solar opportunities are greater and so for the same solar panel located in san francisco and you will get more hours produced in senol than in san francisco. because it makes more sense for us to look at those opportuni

hours per year. 450 trillion watt hours per year.t's roughly one new brazil electricity demand being added to global electric gland every year for the last 30 years, and if you look at the forecast from the iea, exxonmobil, bp, they're projecting another brazil's worth of electric demand going forward for the next 20-25 years. so do the math. what would be required if we were to supply all of that incremental demand growth just with solar? and by the way, i'm bullish on solar. i have solar panels on the roof of my house. and for the record, i'm opposed to all energy subsidies unless i'm getting them. [laughter] i have 3200 watts of solar panels because, why? am i stupid? the city of austin paid two-thirds of the cost. my neighbors say, oh, i love your solar panels. i say, thank you, you paid for them. [laughter] seems to take a little shine off of the -- [laughter] but back to solar, if we only wanted to meet incremental demand growth with solar, what would it require? remember, we have to produce 450 terawatt hours of electricity ev
