Below are comments from the City of Oakland specific to the Energy
section of the Draft Scoping Plan. These comments were
also included in the City of Oakland's letter submitted to the
General Comments section of this website.

1. Encourage Distributed Renewable Energy Generation
The Plan recommends increasing the utility renewable portfolio
standard but does not address renewable distributed generation
(RDG), which is typically not part of the utility portfolio. The
State should extend policies that encourage RDG, such as feed-in
tariffs for California Solar Initiative-eligible projects,
self-service wheeling and tariffs for sale of RDG in master
metered buildings, and re-opening direct access contracting to
producers of clean, renewable electricity. The State should also
provide incentives to local governments to achieve better than 33%
use of renewable energy in their communities through a variety of
mechanisms (e.g., local installations, pooled purchasing).
