CEERT's team of professional staff, active board members, expert consultants, and clean-technology and environmental affiliates carry out our work through a set of focused advocacy programs. We act as participants and intervenors before all the major governmental energy, climate, and air-quality agencies. CEERT is pressing for the necessary changes in grid operations, renewable procurement, and climate policies that will enable California to reach its groundbreaking new energy and greenhouse-gas reduction goals, and put the entire Western region on the path to a low-carbon electric system and a clean-energy future. false false 2147944 In 2020, CEERT: Saw our many years of frustrated advocacy finally begin to pay off when the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) authorized an 11,500 megawatt (MW) clean-resources procurement, including 1,000 MW of both geothermal and long-duration storage. Urged the CPUC and California Independent System Operator (CAISO) to authorize large procurements of hybrid clean resources, notably solar-plus-storage, that will be crucial in meeting the states energy challenges. Hybrids totaling some 60,000 MW make up most of the utility-scale resources now waiting in the CAISO interconnection queue, yet the CPUCs current Resource Adequacy rules are hindering them from moving to actual construction. Learned of a significant backlog in constructing transmission upgrades that had been approved by CAISO but delayed by CPUC inaction. We initiated talks with CAISO, renewable developers, utilities, and others to get these stalled upgrades under construction and online. Campaigned to relieve the CPUC of its central role in transmission planning and replace it with a joint agency process based at the California Energy Commission (CEC). CAISO, CEC, and CPUC officials are now working together in the SB 100 interagency working group. Argued in the CPUC gas reliability proceeding that staff recommendations to expand the gas system should be soundly rejected, and the CPUC should authorize the substitution of clean, more dependable alternatives to gas for generating power and maintaining reliability. Highlighted how the economic impact of the August heatwaves rolling blackouts and capacity shortfalls was trivial compared to the price spikes and costs of inefficient gas plants and pipelines, which approached $1 billion in increased electric rates over the summer. Strongly supported microgrid commercialization as superior to diesel or gas power for community resilience during wildfires and power shutoffs. We detailed the benefits microgrids bring to the grid, despite the barriers the CPUCs Resource Adequacy rules put in their way. Worked to get backing for long-duration storage (LDS) projects from environmental-justice groups and organized labor and advocated for the CEC to include a portfolio of LDS projects in its plans for implementing SB 100s 100% clean-energy goal. Continued our efforts to realize the State Water Projects potential to supply substantial levels of pumped-hydro energy storage and demand response to the CAISO grid. Worked with other members of the Advanced Clean Cars II Coalition to ensure the state is on track to meet its goal of 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035. Protested the CPUC adopting a power sector greenhouse-gas reduction target of 46 million metric tons (MMT) by 2030, and strongly advocated for a 30 MMT target, which is the level thats required to achieve the states decarbonization goals. 2147944 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 27 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 21 21 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false CA X CEERT 9164427785 1100 11th Street Sacramento CA 95864 V John White Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 126556 0 21834 Kimberly West Controller 40.00 0.00 X 79116 0 20838 Jonathan Weisgall Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nate Sandvig Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arthur Haubenstock Sec/Treas 0.30 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bill Magavern Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Caldwell Jr Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Parin Shah Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alex Jackson Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mona Tierney-Lloyd Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nick Goodman Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nike Adeyeye Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Hughes Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rey Leon Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Schiller Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Virinder Singh Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jan McFarland Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lauren Navarro Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Will Barret Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Smeloff Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Starrs Co-Chair 0.30 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jim Walker Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erica Brand Co-Chair 0.30 0.00 X X 0 0 0 205672 42672 1 false false false Amy Rider 6 Douglas Street Petaluma CA 94952 Consulting 137709 James H Caldwell 1650 E Napa Street Sonoma CA 95476 Consulting 117539 Panama Bartholomy 346 Wilson Street Petaluma CA 94952 Consulting 180000 School of Thought 1200 Bay Street Alameda CA 94501 Consulting 398815 4 36713 922673 959386 Special Projects 900099 1564039 1564039 1564039 0 0 0 70800 70800 70800 70800 170 -170 -170 -170 36713 2295 -2295 -2295 0 0 Forgiven PPP Loan 900099 102000 102000 Miscellaneous 900099 7843 7843 109843 2701603 1571712 170505 X 0 0 0 0 205672 119521 86151 0 234460 136251 98209 0 103618 52614 51004 35702 17765 17937 0 156 156 11400 11400 0 0 0 1706143 1700375 5768 0 59357 30295 29062 0 0 138547 70647 67900 7241 6849 392 0 25 25 0 0 3621 2716 905 6572 6572 Telecommunication 16281 8157 8124 Bad Debt Expense 10096 10096 Printing and Publications 3784 2282 1502 Miscellaneous 2953 2852 101 1879 447 1432 2547507 2147944 399462 101 438217 1893539 0 93498 184129 4610 1320 0 0 0 0 0 74425 62393 8457 12032 0 0 0 0 0 544782 2091020 566640 1808612 150000 566640 1958612 X -21858 112408 20000 -21858 132408 544782 2091020 X 154096 170 X false true X true false X 1408156 1135574 1604361 1029243 1061386 6238720 0 0 1408156 1135574 1604361 1029243 1061386 6238720 0 6238720 0 0 31959 27300 19265 11884 7843 98251 6336971 0.98450 0.97480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false 20412 20412 25383 19051 6332 28630 22930 5700 12032 X 2599773 170 170 2599603 102000 102000 2701603 2547507 2547507 2547507 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires CEERT to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken.
