CEERT's team of professional staff, active board members, expert consultants, and clean-technology and environmental affiliates carry out our work through a set of focused advocacy programs. We act as participants and intervenors before all the major governmental energy, climate, and air-quality agencies. CEERT is pressing for the necessary changes in grid operations, renewable procurement, and climate policies that will enable California to reach its groundbreaking new energy and greenhouse-gas reduction goals, and put the entire Western region on the path to a low-carbon electric system and a clean-energy future. false false 652258 In 2022, CEERT: Helped pave the way for a proposed decision in the California Public Utilities Commissions (CPUCs) Integrated Resource Planning proceeding that recommends an unprecedentedly low greenhouse-gas emissions target for the power sector, a level that would allow the state to reach its energy and climate goals and underscore the necessity of accelerated cleanenergy deployment. Successfully pushed for critical changes in the final version of the California Air Resources Boards 2022 Climate Change Scoping Plan: the elimination of new gas-fired power plants, the adoption of an ambitious offshore-wind target, and a recognition of potential adverse impacts resulting from carbon capture and storage technology in fossil-fuel facilities such as oil refineries. Influenced the inclusion of essential new transmission lines and upgrades in the California Independent System Operators 20-Year Outlook, its 2022-2023 Transmission Planning Process, and its Transmission Planning Forum. Advocated for transmission expansions in the Central Valley to tap new solar farms; a line from the Imperial Valley to carry geothermal energy; lines from Wyoming and New Mexico to bring in low-cost wind power; an expansion of an intertie from the Pacific Northwest to Los Angeles; and an undersea cable to bring offshore wind power to the California grid. Continued working with our allies in nearby states on regional grid integration issues and the establishment of an Extended Day-Ahead Market, which will result in improved transmission planning, renewables trading, and cost savings throughout the West. Partnered with our affiliates in the Central Valley to realize the buildout of utility-scale solar farms, to help bring the benefits of those projects to local communities, and to secure residents full access to workforce training and employment programs. Championed policies to further co-production of renewable energy and lithium from geothermal plants at the Salton Sea and ensure community benefits and workforce training opportunities for Imperial Valley residents. Kept pushing for new CPUC Resource Adequacy counting rules for hybrid resources like solar-plus-storage, which could result in 60,000-80,000 MW of new generation. Convened periodic meetings on renewable hydrogen with environmental NGOs andacademic and industry experts to discuss green electrolyzers vs. fossil gas feedstocks; production, transport, and distribution of hydrogen; and best/least appropriate end uses. Strongly supported the Advanced Clean Cars II regulations for passenger vehicles and light trucks, which aim to ensure that by 2035 all new cars and light trucks sold in California will be either zero-emission vehicles or a limited number of plug-in hybrids. 652258 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 12 0 true 11 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 22 22 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false CA X CEERT 9164427785 1100 11th Street Sacramento CA 95864 V John White Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 123706 0 24072 Kimberly West Controller 40.00 0.00 X 86650 0 23759 Jonathan Weisgall Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mona Tierney-Lloyd Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arthur Haubenstock Sec/Treas 0.30 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bill Magavern Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Caldwell Jr Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Parin Shah Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alex Jackson Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Kim Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nick Goodman Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Specht Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Hughes Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rey Leon Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Virinder Singh Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jan McFarland Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Colvin Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cara Martinson Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Will Barret Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Smeloff Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Starrs Co-Chair 0.30 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jim Walker Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frank DeRosa Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Luis Amezcua Director 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 210356 47831 1 false false false 0 71914 814187 886101 Special Projects 900099 9000 9000 9000 0 0 0 86951 86951 86951 86951 0 71914 15210 -15210 -15210 0 0 Miscellaneous 900099 42380 42380 42380 1009222 51380 71741 X 0 0 0 0 210356 136088 74268 0 179273 115979 63294 0 106541 67139 39402 32615 20397 12218 0 567 567 22706 22706 0 0 0 107061 104204 2857 0 71122 44828 26294 0 0 143064 89743 53321 25582 22612 2970 0 34781 32860 1921 0 0 3986 2989 997 7307 7307 Fundraiser Expense 15953 743 15210 Telecommunication 15116 9476 5640 Other 6706 1345 3187 2174 Printing and Publications 4756 3401 1355 719 454 265 988211 652258 318569 17384 1805145 542264 0 374738 65895 0 0 0 0 0 0 85848 69445 8966 16403 0 0 0 200137 0 2188849 824699 1793227 211921 149703 148208 197640 1942930 557769 X 225919 256360 20000 10570 245919 266930 2188849 824699 21011 X false true X true false X 1604361 1029243 1061386 954442 814187 5463619 0 0 1604361 1029243 1061386 954442 814187 5463619 0 5463619 0 0 19265 11884 7843 26970 42380 108342 5571961 0.98060 0.98410 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 20412 20412 36806 26103 10703 28630 22930 5700 16403 Operating Lease Liability 197640 197640 X 1009222 1009222 1009222 988211 988211 988211 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.
