On November 28, 2016, City Council approved the Sustainability Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) to lower the greenhouse gas emissions of the Palo Alto community; On December 11, 2017 Council accepted the Sustainability Implementation Plan which identified the need to development electric vehicle charging infrastructure to meet the community’s greenhouse gas reduction goals. B. City of Palo Alto has adopted a multi-faceted approach to install and facilitate the installation of EV charging in Palo Alto, primarily with the use of grant funds and revenues derived by City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU) participation in the California Air Resources Board’s Low Carbon Fuel Standards Program. C. The California Energy Commission (CEC) has approved funding of up to $200 Million (CEC Funds) for the design and implementation of an electric vehicle charger installation project – the California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP) – throughout California, and in turn contracted with the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE) to implement CALeVIP. D. At the request of CPAU and other Bay Area electricity providers, the CEC has authorized CSE to utilize $33 Million of the CALeVIP CEC Funds towards an incentive program in Santa Clara and San Mateo counites, the Peninsula/Silicon Valley Incentive Project (P/SVIP). The CEC has designated $1 Million of the P/SIP funds for City of Palo Alto utility customer rebates. The CEC funds will provide cash rebates for installation of EV chargers at multi-family residential, mixed use and commercial buildings in Palo Alto. E. In order to access the CEC Funds, the City of Palo Alto must enter into an implementing agreement with CSE and provide matching funds in the amount of $1 Million. $70,000 of the Matching Funds will be used for CSE’s program administration costs, with the remaining $930,000 being used to provide additional utility customer rebates for installation of EV chargers. F. It is anticipated that participation in the P/SBIP CALeVIP will facilitate the installation of approximately 180 Level 2 chargers and 180 Level 3 DC fast chargers, thereby helping to meet the City’s Sustainability and Climate Action Plan goal of reducing the City’s carbon footprint by 80% by 2030.
