Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Energy Innovation: Clean Energy Optimization Pilot (SCE)
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
CSUDH has one of the largest behind-the-meter battery storage systems in Southern California which currently provides demand response services that net the campus ~$80,000/year in savings on peak demand costs. This not only saves money for the students, but helps support resiliency for the local power grid and a battery storage solution for the 985kW in rooftop solar that is on five of its buildings.
Because of its innovations, CSUDH was also selected in 2019 as one of only two CSU campuses to participate in SCE's Clean Energy Optimization Pilot (CEOP) program which gives financial incentives to the CSU and UC to identify and apply sustainable actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (https://news.csudh.edu/clean-energy-pilot/). In Year 1 and Year 2 (2019-20, 2021-22) CSUDH was the top performer in the program with an overall reduction in behind-the-meter greenhouse gas emissions of 50%.
