Three Major Efforts

• Improve efficiency of existing

facilities

• Pursue high performance green

buildings for all new facilities

• Implement operational

adjustments

Projects and Programs

• $1.8M Energy Performance

Contract

Total City

Solar PV:

155.5 kW

2014: Creating the CitySolar Program

• CIP Funding Request (5 years; 17 projects)

• $100K per year • On the planning board (250+ kW by end of 2015)

▫ 155.5 kW existing ▫ Lugo-McGinness Academy (9.4 kW, Fall 2014) ▫ Public Works Warehouse (47.2 kW, Spring 2015) ▫ Smith Aquatic Center (40 kW, Fall 2015)

• Beyond 2015 ▫ 10-year plan to produce 10% of our own electricity

Solar in the Community

City Support for Community Solar

• City Footprint = 2.7% of Community Emissions

• Cite Our Own Experience & Results (ecoREMOD)

• Funding/Financial Support

▫ Solar Tax Credit (~ 5% over 5 years)

▫ Clean Energy Commercial Loan Fund

▫ Interest Rate Buy Down for Residential Loans

Solarize Charlottesville

• 3 Month Sign-Up: July - Sept 2014

• Over 1,000 Initial Assessments (over 200 in last days)

• Free Home Energy Check Up Offered

• Results Still Coming In, as of Nov. 10:

▫ Contracts Signed: 74 (City = 29 total or 39%)

▫ Aggregate Capacity: 415 kW (City = 120kW or 29%)

Sign-Ups

Key Take-Aways

Local Governments

• Evolution of Successful Projects (EE RE)

• Own & Maintain vs. Contract or Leased Services

• Cost Savings (Avoided Costs & Reduced Peak)

• Small Footprint within the Community

• Great Interest within a community, but many

smaller projects; Support Tools Helpful

Solar PV Looking Ahead

31

WGL Holdings is committed to continue investment in distributed generation , including solar PV.

WGL is actively seeking opportunities to deploy capital with Federal Government partners for distributed generation projects

Highly successful hedge fund manager David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital recently published a presentation in Business Insider noting the following:

Annual global Solar installations have grown from approximately 2GW in 2006 to over 45GW in 2014

Solar PV still makes up less than ½ of 1% of global electrical generation capacity

Solar PV Capacity is projected to triple by 2020 to approximately 120 GW
