Ratepayer Benefits:4 The Agreement will result in the ratepayer benefits of greater electricity reliability, lower costs, and increased safety. The electrification of water heating in multifamily buildings represents a huge opportunity for grid harmonization through thermal load shifting. During off peak times, these systems can be programmed to heat and store water, even when there is little domestic hot water demand in the building. Off peak hot water charging not only reduces costs for the owner, but also provides increased electricity reliability by putting less strain on the grid at peak times. Traditionally, central water heaters have relied on natural gas to heat water. If not fully combusted, natural gas produces harmful exhaust that can be detrimental to human health. Under the worst conditions, gas leaks from improper installation can pose an explosion risk to the building. Additio...
Agreement Goals. The goal of this Agreement is to install ten TESS systems in small and medium size commercial buildings in California and: • Demonstrate their ability to shift electric load out of peak periods. • Prove utility xxxx savings to business owners across a wide variety of product usage characteristics. • Calculate benefits to grid operators for use in developing incentives to drive adoption. • Improve product and controller performance to deliver 12-month performance. • Lower product first-costs to ≤5 years payback to facilitate market adoption. • Develop energy modeling tools to aid in TESS engineering and deployment • Prepare for commercialization at scale. Ratepayer Benefits:2 This Agreement will result in the ratepayer benefits of: • Greater reliability: The product aims to simplify the challenge facing grid operators by increasing use of daytime renewable energy and reducing use of late-afternoon and evening ramp-up energy, thus reducing the risk of energy shortages, Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPSs), brownouts, and blackouts. • Lower costs: The proposed technology is intended to lower electricity costs of business owners by shifting their use out of peak periods, as well. The Recipient’s TESS should be capable of a wide range of energy shifting configurations to meet regional rate plans and grid challenges. It can save businesses electric xxxx expenses through reduced demand charges based on peak kW usage and by shifting kWh usage into lower priced periods. Technological Advancement and Breakthroughs:3 This Agreement is intended to lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome barriers to achievement of the State of California’s statutory energy goals by supporting development of first-of-its-kind thermal energy storage technology. The project will target a hard-to-reach segment of electricity usage, 4-9 pm, when energy demand is high and renewable contributions diminish. As a result, GHG emissions savings of 10,530 metric tons of carbon dioxide (MT co2) are predicted annually at 10% adoption, helping California meets its various statutory climate goals. This development and demonstration project can ensure this technology will reach maturity and be introduced significantly to the market.
Agreement Goals. The overarching goal of the Plan, as outlined in the Agreement, is to reform WV’s children’s mental health system to ensure that children can receive mental health services in their homes and communities. The Plan will lead WV to successful reform in a timely manner to reduce the number of children unnecessarily placed in RMHTFs and reduce the length of stay for children at these facilities, when appropriate. Specifically, the goal is three-fold:
1. Prevent children with serious mental health conditions from being needlessly removed from their family homes in order to obtain treatment
2. Prevent children with serious mental health conditions from unnecessarily entering RMHTFs
3. Transition children with serious mental health conditions who have been placed in an RMHTF back to their family homes To support these goals, DHHR is committed to providing HCBS to children in the target population. These programs will be family driven, youth-guided, and culturally and linguistically competent; they will include a broad and diverse array of community-based services that are individualized, as well as strength and evidence based. Through continuous quality improvement efforts, DHHR will ensure statewide access to timely services to help prevent crises and promote stability in the home. Key priorities for the coming year, as identified through quality improvement reviews, are captured in the Open Tasks subsection of each section of the Plan. The target population of these services, as defined in the Agreement, includes all children under the age of 21 who:
1. Have a serious emotional or behavioral disorder or disturbance that results in a functional impairment, and (i) who are placed in an RMHTF or (ii) who reasonably may be expected to be placed in an RMHTF in the near future; and
2. Meet the eligibility requirements for mental health services provided or paid for by DHHR The expected goal by December 31, 2022, is a 25% reduction from the number of children living in RMHTFs as of June 1, 2015.2 The expected goal by December 31, 2024, is a 35% reduction from the number of children living in RMHTFs as of June 1, 2015. Additionally, any children residing in an RMHTF on December 31, 2024, will have been assessed by a qualified professional and determined to be in the most integrated setting appropriate to their individual needs.
