As a direct result of this verdict, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved three Requests for Proposals to procure carbon-free resources for LCR needs and allow the retirement of six gas plants that now supply LCR in four regions of the state.CEERT Director of Grid Policy Liz Anthony began an analysis of the generation and emis-sions profiles of each gas-fired power plant in California to identify which are the most-polluting and the least-needed, and which clean-energy resources can be cost-effectively substituted for each plants output.CEERT held active talks with the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), the Bonneville Power Administration, and Pacific Northwest stakeholders on California exporting surplus solar generation at midday in return for Northwest hydro resources providing flexible capacity to California starting in late afternoon.We made arguments that resulted in key changes to the CPUCs final decision in the Diablo Canyon power plant proceeding, including a confirmation that procurement to replace the plants output should avoid an increase in greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions.We strongly advocated for early procurement of GHG-free resources to be an outcome of utilities and other load-serving entities Integrated Resource Planning processes.CEERT helped persuade the CAISO to add 500 MW of transmission capacity from the Imperial Valley, which will enable the statewide grid to bring in new geothermal genera-tion from the Salton Sea region.We influenced the Los Angeles Department of Water and Powers decision to delay plans to repower 2,500 MW of gas-fired plants while it studies the viability of low-carbon alternatives.We helped develop and secure adoption of the states Short-Lived Climate Pollutant (SLCP) Reduction Strategy, a culmination of CEERTs decade-long advocacy leadership on SLCPs.We coordinated with state and national organizations to defend the 2022 2025 vehicle emissions and fuel economy standards against current federal efforts to roll them back. 1873272 true true false false 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 true false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false true 24 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 24 24 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true true true false CA X CEERT 9164427785 1100 11th Street Sacramento CA 95864 Jonathan Weisgall Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ralph Cavanagh Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin Lynch Sec/Treas 0.30 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bill Magavern Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Caldwell Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Delfino Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 JC Sanberg Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Webster Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mona Tierney-Lloyd Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anders Glader Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arthur Haubenstock Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bonnie Holmes-Gen 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 Parin Shah 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 Rich Ferguson Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roby Roberts Co-Chair 0.30 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rachel Shimshak Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Starrs Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Walker Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Wisland Co-Chair 0.30 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Carl Zichella Director & EC 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kimberly West Controller 40.00 0.00 X 80504 0 27574 V John White Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 137103 0 26620 John Shahabian Dir.

CEERT has determined whether any tax positions have met the recognition threshold and have measured the exposure to those tax positions. Management believes that CEERT has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded tax liabilities. Federal and state tax authorities generally have the right to examine and audit the previous three years of tax returns filed. Any interest or penalties assessed to CEERT are recorded in operating expenses. No interest or penalties from federal or state tax authorities were recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
