CEC Releases Clean Transportation Plan: Last week, the California Energy Commission (CEC) released its clean transportation plan with ~$384MM of investments scheduled over the next 3 years for electric vehicle (EV) and zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure. The spending includes ~$133MM for light-duty EV charging systems, ~$130MM for medium- and heavy-duty ZEV infrastructure, and ~$70MM for hydrogen refueling infrastructure. California currently has ~26MM automobiles and ~6MM trucks registered in the state – ~726k of which are ZEVs (vs its goal of 1.5MM by 2025 and 3MM by 2030). It also currently has 57k Level 2 chargers and 4.9k DC fast chargers vs its 2025 goal of 240k Level 2 and 10k fast chargers.
New York Set 70% Renewable Energy Mandate By 2030: On 10/15 New York’s Public Service Commission (PSC) announced it would formally adopt a 70% renewable energy initiative by 2030 as part of its Clean Energy Standard. The announcement includes a directive for NYSERDA to enter into annual contracts for 4,500MWh for upstate renewables and 700-1,000MW of offshore wind.

ENPH Partners With Natura Living In Thailand: On 10/12 ENPH announced it partnered with Natura Living to develop commercial solar projects in Thailand for PepsiCo (PEP). Natura installed a 60kW solar array on PEP’s snack division building using ENPH’s IQ 7+ microinverters and is currently installing another 60kW array on PEP’s agronomy division building (expected completion in Q420).
