The Alliance provided comments on the Arizona Corporation Commission’s Proposed Energy Modernization Plan, which calls for numerous clean energy policies to increase renewable energy, energy storage, electric vehicles, energy efficiency, and other clean energy technologies in the state. The proposal also sets a goal for 80 percent of the state’s electricity generating portfolio to be “clean” by 2050. As the Commission considers this goal, we wrote to support: (1) the inclusion of an explicit CHP deployment goal in the proposed clean energy target and (2) the development and implementation of a new energy efficiency/DSM policy that begins in 2021, either as an extension, expansion, and update of the existing Energy Efficiency Standard, or as a new requirement as an enforceable target.
