continuing our advocacy in the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, which will determine how much Southern California land will be available for solar and wind projects; helping mitigate wind projects' potential impacts on golden eagles and California condors in the crucial Tehachapi region; helping lead negotiations for unprecedented joint environmentalist and solar-industry comments to the Secretary of the Interior on the Bureau of Land Management's Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement and the lands it will be designating for solar energy development; urging the California Public Utilities Commission to adopt a fixed-price feed-in tariff that reflects the full value of renewable distributed generation, including the environmental costs of fossil-fired energy that renewables avoid; advocating for the long-overdue addition of renewable resources to pre-approved bundled procurement plans, which are currently limited to fossil resources; working to develop a symbiotic relationship between the California Air Resource Board's proposed cap-and-trade program and renewable energy markets; launching a new program to support technologies that capture methane from dairies, feedlots, landfills, food-processors, wastewater treatment plants, and oil and gas production operations, and use it to generate clean power through fuel cells, microturbines, and reciprocating engines; continuing to advocate before the California Independent System Operator for more just and reasonable treatment of variable-output renewables like wind and solar; and serving as technical lead for nongovernmental organizations on criteria emissions standards for revised LEV III regulations, which set performance stan-dards for typical passenger vehicles sold in California. 2277841 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 false true 15 0 true 18 true false false false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 24 22 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true false true true true false false CA X V John White 9164427785 1100 11th Street Sacramento CA 95864 Carl Zichella 0.30 X 0 0 0 Laura Wisland 0.30 X 0 0 0 Jim Walker 0.30 X 0 0 0 Tom Starrs 0.30 X 0 0 0 Rachel Shimshak 0.30 X 0 0 0 Roby Roberts 0.30 X 0 0 0 David Olsen 0.30 X 188360 0 0 Angela Johnson Meszaros 0.30 X 0 0 0 Jan McFarland 0.30 X 0 0 0 Jim Marston 0.30 X 0 0 0 David Markarian 0.30 X 0 0 0 Rey Leon 0.30 X 34068 0 0 Bonnie Holmes-Gen 0.30 X 0 0 0 Arthur Haubenstock 0.30 X 0 0 0 Anders Glader 0.30 X 0 0 0 Julie Gill 0.30 X 0 0 0 Diane Fellman 0.30 X 0 0 0 Kim Delfino 0.30 X 0 0 0 Jeff Cox 0.30 X 0 0 0 James Caldwell Jr 0.30 X 0 0 0 Darren Bouton 0.30 X 0 0 0 Kevin Lynch 0.30 X X 0 0 0 Ralph Cavanagh 0.30 X X 0 0 0 Jonathan Weisgall 0.30 X X 0 0 0 John Shahabian 40.00 X 191942 0 33691 V John White 40.00 X 155196 0 56445 569566 90136 3 false true false Sara Steck Myers 122 28th Avenue San Francisco CA 94121 Advocacy 105915 David Olsen 3804 Pacific Coast Hwy Ventura CA 93001 Consulting 188360 2 75500 1091990 1167490 Special Projects 900099 1082661 1082661 1082661 1756 1756 0 0 42000 42000 42000 42000 375 -375 -375 -375 19800 75500 15040 4760 4760 0 0 Other Revenue 900099 36409 36409 36409 2334701 1160695 6516 0 0 0 0 692146 401445 290701 0 522011 298755 223256 236590 137222 99368 150740 84655 66085 91597 54594 37003 0 3230 3230 17095 17095 0 0 0 923104 922490 614 0 70025 45026 24999 0 0 118421 67182 51239 102343 88865 13478 0 6844 6563 281 0 0 8472 6354 2118 4240 4240 Telecommunication 34248 20709 13539 Regulatory counsel 109440 109440 Printing and Publications 24375 7624 16751 Equipment rental 5081 5081 Board retreat and meetings 26803 24580 2223 10791 2337 8454 3157596 2277841 879755 0 189230 323706 1336302 498555 237750 139000 87464 56561 0 0 0 0 14000 0 108921 81338 29445 27583 0 0 0 0 0 1894191 1045405 238691 212800 238691 212800 X 117288 98896 1538212 733709 1655500 832605 1894191 1045405 -822895 X false true true X false false X 1028946 1758864 2369258 3017681 1091990 9266739 0 0 1028946 1758864 2369258 3017681 1091990 9266739 5527570 3739169 35954 37038 34638 34995 43756 186381 0 29673 21897 27298 16000 36034 130902 9584022 0.39010 0.36480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 20412 20412 65369 40240 25129 23140 20686 2454 27583 2334701 3157596 -822895 -822895 2334701 2334701 2334701 3157596 3157596 3157596 Part X 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. 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. false Clean Power Campaign AWA 95300 75500 19800 15040 95300 75500 19800 15040 15040 4760 X X false false false false false false false false false false V John White 155196 56445 211641 John Shahabian 150674 41268 33691 225633 David Olsen 188360 188360 Rey Leon Director 34068 CEERT Consultant false David Olsen Director 188360 CEERT Consultant false V John White Exec Director 12000 Reimbursed office exp. false Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies' governing documents, conflicts of interest policy, and Form 990 are available to the public upon request.
