2 About NYSERDA Basic Facts About NYSERDA Established in 1975 by State Legislature Executive level organization Cognizant energy agency for New York Mission: Advance innovative energy solutions in ways that improve New York's economy and environment Forge public/private partnerships with businesses, municipalities, residents, and other energy stakeholders to accomplish this goal

3 NYSERDA Programs Research and Development Advanced Transportation Technologies About $3 - $5 million per year for feasibility studies all the way up to late stage demonstration of new technologies cost share required up to a $500,000 grant per round of the program.

4 NYSERDA Programs Research and Development Underutilized Technologies About $1 - $3 million per year for feasibility studies all the way up to late demonstration of commercial technologies not currently used in New York cost share required up to a $500,000 grant per round of the program.

5 NYSERDA Programs Alternative Fuels and Technologies Natural Gas, Propane, Electricity, and Hybrid Vehicles Medium and Heavy-duty markets class 3-8 trucks Delivery, transit, fleet vehicles, trash hauling, school buses, over the road trucks Coolant Heaters for anti-idling

6 NYSERDA Programs Infrastructure Development Refueling stations for biofuels, electric charging stations, biofuel terminals Assists all light, medium and heavyduty markets Technology enabler

7 NYSERDA Programs System Efficiency Commuter/Rideshare Programs Carshare Programs Anti-Idling HOV Lanes Transit Oriented Development Traffic Signal Timing Fleet Studies

8 NYSERDA Programs Emission reduction DPFs, DOC, SCR, EGR, Crankcase filters Medium and Heavy-duty markets. Not just on road. Primarily reducing diesel emissions Delivery trucks, transit buses, trash hauling, school buses, ferries, Construction Limited Infrastructure Issues

9 Does It Work?

10 NYSERDA Programs Current Programs/Funding Available New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program PON 2290 Retail Biofuel Stations Fleet Studies and Educational Workshops PON 1896, Clean Air School Bus Program

11 NYSERDA Programs Alternative Fuel Vehicle Incentives NYT-VIP should be released within a few weeks with approximately $19 million available Class 3-8 EV Trucks for 30 counties across the state, including Capital District EV, Hybrid and CNG for NYC Diesel retrofits for NYC

12 NYSERDA Programs Electric Vehicle Infrastructure New state tax credit 50% of cost, up to $5K per installation PON 2301: Two rounds complete, with 25 awards for $8 million no more scheduled Projects will result in nearly 600 charging stations serving over 900 parking spaces Some projects are still looking for sites (especially workplace charging) contact us for more information

13 NYSERDA Programs Infrastructure - PON 2290 Biofuel Station Program 50% of the costs up to $50,000 to upgrade retail fueling stations to sell E85 ethanol or B20 biodiesel. PON 2454 Biofuel Terminal Program 50% of the cost to upgrade the terminal to sell E85 ethanol or B20 biodiesel. Recently awarded 6 terminal upgrade projects

14 Education and Outreach CNG Infrastructure Program for CNG infrastructure as a follow-on to our CNG outreach for local delivery trucks and refuse haulers. CDCC will be running program in Capital District

15 Education and Outreach EV Infrastructure Workshops for local government planners, building code inspectors, contractors, and electrical installers on EV charging station best practices CDCC will be working with NYSERDA on program in Capital District

16 Education and Outreach Fleet Studies Guidebooks available to help fleets understand the process for converting to CNG Studies on how to integrate alternative fuels into their fleets Through the NYSERDA FlexTech program NYSERDA covers up to 50% of cost

17 NYSERDA Programs PON 1896, Clean Air School Bus Program Retrofit school buses with emissions controls and idling reduction technologies Propane buses 100% of cost of equipment and installation covered, up to set limits per technology Open enrollment first come, first served

18 Innovative Financing Project For AFVs

19 Background US Department of Energy s Clean Cities Program award National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) and its partners a $500,000 award in November 2012 Project will focus on investigating multiple ways to get the financial sector and utilities more involved with financing AFVs

20 Objectives: Project Overview Develop innovative vehicle and infrastructure financing models to make AFVs more accessible to consumers and fleet operators; Enable utilities and policy-makers to fund AFV and infrastructure incentives and investments with ratepayer dollars; and Assist states in developing comprehensive energy plans that support private sector investments in AFVs and associated infrastructure. 2 Years (February 2013 January 2015) Electric, Natural Gas, Biofuels, and Hydrogen Vehicles and Infrastructure

21 Project Management NASEO NY-based Clean Cities Coalitions NYSERDA Colorado Energy Office Primary Partners Advisory Role Targeted Outreach C2ES VEIC TEP Project Advisory Committee Clean Cities Coalitions State Energy Offices (through NASEO and TEP)

22 Project Deliverables NASEO Policy guidance for state governments to consider when creating or revising their state s comprehensive energy plan that supports AFV and infrastructure deployment Transportation Committee ( ) comprised of State Energy Officials to provide input into work products and dissemination of final products VEIC Document the role of electric vehicles in utilities integrated resource plans Transportation Efficiency Technical Reference Manual Quantifies the efficiencies of fuel-switching (gasoline to EV) Quantifies the efficiencies of AC Level 1 and AC Level 2 charging relative to one another C2ES Suite of innovative business models and implementation plans to support private sector vehicle and infrastructure financing pilot projects TEP Presentations at the Energy Independence Summits in 2013 ( ) and Regional Trainings for State and Local Stakeholders in Year 2

23 C2ES Project Unlocking Private Sector Financing Develop new business models for financing alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure Create strategic plans to try out new business models Work with NASEO, TEP, Clean Cities, and the Project Advisory Committee throughout on all project deliverables

24 Project Motivation Public benefits of alternative fuels not captured today Energy efficiency Greenhouse gas reductions Energy security Local air quality Lack of available public funds for deployment; need new private funding mechanisms Exciting finance models are accelerating deployment of building efficiency and renewable energy technology

25 Project Timeline Identify Financial Barriers to Realizing Public Benefits Energy efficiency improvements Fuel savings Operating cost savings Environmental & energy security benefits Prepare Case Studies Existing AFVs or fueling infrastructure project Apply mechanisms used to finance building energy efficiency to transportation Develop Innovative Business Models Fuel & vehicle value proposition Target market Cost structures & revenue streams Implementation and/or demonstration guidance Test model with hypothetical examples Create Strategic Plans for Implementation Identify location or market-specific challenges & opportunities Apply business model to a particular market Develop guidance including key players, policy actions, cost & benefit, & anticipated results Year 1 Year 2

26 Project Advisory Committee National, regional, and local stakeholders advisory group Project Partners: NASEO, TEP, and Clean Cities Public: state energy offices (New York, Colorado, Oklahoma) and California Governor s Office Private: finance sector, vehicle and infrastructure purchasers, installers, and providers, etc. Committee will provide project team direction and feedback on private investment in AFV and fueling infrastructure related to: Barriers Possible solutions Outreach activities Committee will disseminate lessons learned, enhance findings, and implement recommendations (e.g., pilot new business models) Communication among committee members and project team will occur throughout project 2-3 in-person meetings Frequent conference calls and/or webinars
