EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction

Through the months of April, May and June, the Smart Columbus Program continues to

actively move toward the city’s electrification goals. We achieved several significant and

legally required milestones that will position our team to move into execution of the

electrification plan. On May 22, Columbus City Council approved legislation to enter into

agreement with the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation to initiate the first year of the program.

On June 5, Columbus City Council authorized legislation for the GPD Group proposal and a

sub recipient agreement with The Columbus Partnership.

Setting up for Sustained Success

The Smart Columbus Team has taken proactive steps and measures to ensure the success

of the program and ensure that are organized for sustained success.

The first step toward this objective was to bring the Smart Columbus Team together

under one roof to foster a cooperative environment to discuss and share ideas. The

team has relocated to the Columbus Idea Foundry, where The Columbus

Partnership, AEP and OSU have been working alongside the Program Management

Office, continues to be an innovative and collaborative workspace.

The Smart Columbus team welcomed Mandy Bishop as the Program Manager on July

10, 2017. Mandy has significant program management experience and is a results

driven professional who knows how to meet program goals while building consensus

with stakeholders. Mandy is a leader with a record of successfully delivering complex

projects, and has been involved with Smart Columbus in her current role as a Senior

Project Manager with the GPD Group. She also has experience working with USDOT

during her time as Deputy Director with the Ohio Department of Transportation.

Select representatives of the Smart Columbus Team, including members of the City

of Columbus, The Columbus Partnership and AEP attended the EV Roadmap 10

conference in Portland, Oregon. The team members learned a great deal in the

formal sessions and make strong connections for future information and best

practices sharing.

After winning the Smart City challenge and the Paul G. Allen (Vulcan) Foundation grant,

Smart Columbus undertook a rebranding effort paid for by The Columbus Partnership’s

Acceleration Fund to create a distinctive identity and improve the messaging for this

critical initiative. The new brand has been met with excitement by the community.

In an effort to raise public awareness for Smart Columbus and better communicate to

others the details of the program, we have developed and launched “Smart Columbus

Live”, a weekly series of two-hour educational experiences that are held at the

Columbus Idea Foundry.

With the new brand and improved messaging, collateral pieces have been

developed including an Electric Vehicle purchase guide that has been sent to all

members of the Columbus Partnership to continue to push the executive vehicle

purchase program. Five CEO’s have purchased electric vehicles, including

Columbus Partnership’s Chairman, Les Wexner the Chairman of L Brands, Inc.

In order to advance the electrification goals of the Smart City Grant, the Smart

Columbus Team hosted an Electric Vehicle Charging Station Expo. This event was

held to connect electric vehicle charging companies and industry leaders with

organizations, companies and governments who are interested in learning more

about electric vehicle infrastructure and relevant policies and procedures.

Smart Columbus Partner Agreements

Smart Columbus entered into agreement with Honda and INRIX in June 2017:

The Honda agreement includes a commitment from Honda to bring the Clarity PHEV model to the central Ohio market. In addition, Honda commits to providing used FitEVs for fleet and consumer leasing, participation in all program advisory working groups.

The INRIX agreement includes a commitment from INRIX to provide traffic data and the ParkMe smartphone app. The ParkMe app will provide to the user information on parking availability in downtown Columbus, including locations and availability of EV charging.

The following table details the status of agreements that remain to be executed that

Columbus is endeavoring to leverage the Smart City Challenge Grants to form

additional partnerships to financially support the programmatic goals of reducing and

replacing carbon-based fuel usage with clean energy sources.

Priority Area Achievements

The overarching goal of the electrification plan is to measurably decrease light duty

transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through five priority areas:

decarbonization, electric fleet adoption, multi-model transportation systems, consumer

electric vehicle adoption and charging infrastructure. A high-level summary of the

achievements for each priority is included below.

Priority 1: Decarbonization and Grid Modernization:

Columbus Division of Power Green Power Marketing Plan:

The Division of Power has created a marketing activity timeline for their green energy portfolio,

which is the basis for the marketing plan. More information is included in Appendix E.

Bob Evans Solar Project:

Several activities took place during the past quarter relevant to the De-carbonization/Grid

priority. Among these activities include a site visit to the newly constructed Bob Evans

headquarters in central Ohio. Bob Evans Farms new complex achieved LEED Gold certification

for their campus which includes several green initiatives such as rooftop generated solar power.

DC Solar Deployment:

The Smart Columbus team and members of DC Solar met with individuals from The Ohio State

University, Ohio Dominican University, The Columbus Zoo, and Columbus State Community

College to explore the possibility of each of these groups using mobile solar units manufactured

by DC Solar.

Priority 2: Fleet Electric Vehicle Adoption:

Fleet EV Bid Status:

EV acquisition plans for the City of Columbus, The Ohio State University (OSU), Franklin

County, City of Dublin and AEP have been advanced. The City of Columbus solicited a bid

in May and received six quotes, which are currently being reviewed. Purchasing and Fleet are

currently meeting with one bidder to better understand lease vs. purchase and contract

language.

The City of Dublin recently programmed the purchase of 10 EVs into their 2018 through 2022

plan, with purchases planned in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Fleet EV Progress indicator update:

By contacting 15 local public fleets, Clean Fuels Ohio helped the Smart City program office

surpass one of its progress indicators this quarter. CFO focused on updating fleet managers

about the options and opportunities that fleets have for reducing operational costs, improving

efficiency, and minimizing environmental impacts by implementing electric vehicle technologies.

Though the presentation was framed in overall fuel neutral capacity, particular focus was given

to the cost effective and easily implementable electric vehicle options.

concerns related to poor air quality.

Fleet Training:

The Fleet subgroup has been working on preparations for Strategy 2.1.1, Training and

Technical Assistance Workshops; which will consist of an EV Intro Class, Safety,

Maintenance and Repairs.

Priority 3: Transit, Autonomous and Multi-Modal Systems:

This priority is a part of the Smart Columbus program driven by the USDOT grant. The city

also remains committed to other modes of travel such as bicycles. Bicycle infrastructure

remains a top priority of the city. Current design has arranged for approximately 30 street

segments expected to be under construction in 2017 that will involve bikeways work.

Projects expected to be completed in 2017 will add:

3.6 miles of bike lanes

3.5 miles of shared-use path

0.8 miles of sharrows

So far this year, the City has installed:

1.2 miles of bike lanes 1.2 miles of shared-use path 0 miles of sharrows

Priority 4: Consumer Adoption:

The Program Management Office (PMO) and Columbus Partnership are in detailed

discussions with automakers Daimler and Ford about their desired commitments to the

program on several initiatives, including:

Providing more EV models and number of EVs (used and new) to the seven-

county central Ohio region over the next three years

Providing more robust dealer training and engagement on EV sales

Increasing advertising and assisting with customer education efforts of EVs

to help educate consumers and reduce range anxiety

established to educate and inform local residents, visitors, stakeholders, and

other cities and leadership delegations from around the world about how

Columbus is becoming a Smart City


Coordinating with the ride and drive initiatives

Coordinating and collaborating on EV charging initiatives and incentives

The source of data supporting the Smart Columbus tracking of consumer EV adoption is

National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) and HIS Polk. Data reporting compares EV and PHEV

new vehicle registrations compared to all vehicle fuel type new vehicle registrations during the

same period. The geographical area covered by the reported data is comprised of the seven

Central Ohio counties of Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Licking, Madison, Pickaway, and Union.

As the program progresses, the Program Management Office will continue to seek

out additional automakers as partners.

Priority 5: Charging Infrastructure: Charging infrastructure has been a focus for the Smart

Columbus team as the success of consumer adoption and deployment of electric vehicles,

both private and public, relies on such infrastructure. The progress this quarter includes:

EV Expo where an estimated 150 people attended to learn more about EV Charging

stations. 13 vendors shared their product in the garage adjacent to the site.

Establishment the framework to deploy a multi-unit dwelling (MUD) rebate program for

the 7-county central Ohio region. The City Program Office has tasked Clean Fuels Ohio

to act as the agent to distribute funds to developers for installing charging stations. Six

developers have signed the pledge forms to date.

The City of Columbus Facilities Management Office installed five Level 2 chargers in the

new city parking garage

MS Consultants signed on to provide recommendations to install DC Fast charging for

downtown streets with direct access to and from the interstate highways

Meeting with Association of Regional Councils (OARC), Mid-Ohio Regional Planning

Commission, and Ohio Environmental Protection agency to discuss took place on 6/28.

Topics covered were the public charging siting study prepared by NREL as related to the

VW settlement funding available to the entire state. The OARC is comprised of statewide

MPO Directors.

st floor. The 141 N. Front Street garage is also a

targeted location for 50 additional plugs.


City Projects and Charging Stations

I-71/I-70 Interchange

The City of Columbus is working with ODOT planning for electric vehicle fast charging stations along Mound Street (between High and Fourth) and Fulton Street (between Fourth and Grant). These stations could be considered for placement adjacent to a couple of the new on-street parallel parking stalls on these streets as part of ODOT’s project that is about to start construction. The goal is to make sure that any infrastructure required for these stations be constructed as part of the ODOT project so that this new work would not need to be disturbed when the charging stations are installed later.

Columbus EVI – Pro Hot Spot Map

In order to support Smart Columbus' public charging station initiative, National Renewable

Energy Lab (NREL) has prepared a draft report to identify optimal locations for charging

station placement. Following is an example of a map created by NREL:


NREL acquired individual GPS travel trajectories from INRIX (a commercial traffic &

mapping provider). INRIX products are based on anonymized GPS data collected from

hundreds of millions of devices. For this effort, INRIX provided NREL with all GPS travel

trajectories (mode imputed as driving trips by INRIX) that intersected the Columbus region

at any time during 2016. Each trajectory features trip-level data such as start and end times

and GPS coordinates (including origins, destinations, and intermediate waypoints). The

"heat map" depicted above is an illustration of the data provided by INRIX.

Governor Kasich mentioned Smart Columbus in his State of the State Address on April

4th.

Vital input on certain policies was provided to retain inclusion of Smart Columbus related

initiatives in the state’s transportation budget. Those considerations include:

An amendment to allocate $30 million of Volkswagen settlement dollars for public transit,

which would have hampered our ability to obtain funding in the first two years of the

project to deploy required charging infrastructure.

Discussions by local and county leaders to generate revenue by taxing CNG and electric

vehicles. Discussion involved a highway funding and study committee, which will be

handled by the Ways and Means committee in the Senate. The smart Columbus policy

team is working to provide input about the early stage market EVs are in and how they

can use the study committee to look at creating thresholds as the markets grow.

With advisement from the Smart Columbus policy team, Governor Kasich vetoed a bill

on March 31, 2017, that would have slowed down funding efforts for the project.

Creation and activation of a Smart Columbus Policy Committee

Four meetings have been held with policy committee members including City, County,

Partnership, OSU, Nationwide, AEP and Columbus chamber of Commerce

representatives. Joining upcoming Committee meetings will be the Mid-Ohio Regional

Planning Commission (MORPC) and Clean Fuels Ohio.

It is important to engage elected officials and policy makers in conversation about electric

vehicles and smart mobility in order to ensure the legislators make informed policy decisions

that support the Smart Columbus program. Federal support of Smart Columbus initiatives from

the Ohio Delegation has been encouraging.

charging infrastructure and grid modernization in supporting the rapid growth of this technology.

Section 2: INDICATOR STATUS TABLES

This section includes activities scheduled to take place during Quarter 1, April to June 2017,

but some activities have already been initiated by the Smart Columbus Program.

2.1 Priority 1, De-carbonization and Grid Modernization

Progress Report through July 2017

Successes: AEP received PUCO approval to extend gridSMART with a Phase 2 deployment

that will be comprised of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI); The City of Columbus

Division of Power and AEP negotiated an agreement for AEP’s technical support during the

O’Shaughnessy Dam hydroelectric project.

Progress: DC Solar deployment plan exceeded 10 units.

Challenges: PUCO Approval for Charging Stations

Lessons: Several agencies and companies such as Franklin County and Bob Evans Farms

are already engaged in decarbonization activities, and it is important to coordinate Smart

Columbus with other regional efforts.

2.2 Priority 2 – Fleet Adoption

Progress Report through June 2017

Successes: By contacting 15 local public fleets, Clean Fuels Ohio helped the Smart City

program office surpass one of its progress indicators this quarter. CFO focused on updating

fleet managers about the options and opportunities that fleets have for reducing operational

costs, improving efficiency, and minimizing environmental impacts by implementing electric

vehicle technologies. Non-binding letters of intent signed between AEP and Clean Fuels

Ohio and Workhorse to procure up to 500 EV Trucks over a two year period. An XL Hybrid

Ride and Drive event was held on June 19th

Progress: EV acquisition plans for the City of Columbus, The Ohio State University

(OSU), Franklin County, City of Dublin and AEP have been advanced. The City of

Columbus solicited a bid in May with quotes due June 8, and then extended to bid

opening June 11, 2017. 6 quotes were received and are being reviewed with an

anticipated recommendation for award to the Director of Finance in mid to late July.

Purchasing and Fleet are currently meeting with one bidder to better understand lease

vs. purchase and contract language. The City of Dublin recently programmed the

purchase of 10 EVs into their 2018 through 2022 plan, with purchases planned in 2018,

2019 and 2020. The Fleet subgroup has also been working on preparations for

Strategy 2.1.1, Training and Technical Assistance Workshops; this training will consist

of an EV Intro Class, Safety, Maintenance and Repairs. It’s more of overview training,

not specific to certain models or machines.

Challenges: Installation of charging station locations for city fleet vehicles

Lessons: As other agencies are working on their own initiatives, it is important to remain

engaged on new opportunities such as the Electric School Bus

2.3 Priority 4 – Consumer Adoption

Progress Report through March 2017

Successes: Honda committed to distribute the Clarity EV in Columbus by Q4 of 2017; in the

last week of March, seven AEP employees purchased Nissan Leafs due to a group

purchase discount that was extended through AEP; the CEO of L Brands and Chairman of

the Columbus Partnership kicked off the Executive Electric Vehicle commitment by

purchasing and regularly driving two Chevy Bolts.

Progress: An EV employee purchasing program has been organized and other companies


will be challenged to do the same; three automakers are being actively engaged for deep

commitments to the program, including Honda, Ford and Daimler.

Challenges: Fully executed agreements not yet in place

Lessons: Partnerships with OEMs, local dealers, and utility companies require time and

attention to nurture and secure; Companies and employers are eager to engage with Smart

Columbus; there are key areas where charging is needed throughout the community and

there might be a need for additional trained electricians to install residential charging

stations.

EV Adoption According to Vehicle Registration Records

Columbus region registration data is reflected in the tables below from the periods beginning in

2014 through April 2017.

2014 and 2015 registration data was obtained through summary information from IIHS Polk

aggregated at the National Renewable Energy Lab based on Polk Subscription data.

2016 vehicle registration data was also obtained through IIHS Polk, but the base data set were

more detailed, quarterly statistics were aggregated from monthly queries of fuel type and model

years.

2017 vehicle registration data (Jan through April) was obtained through specific Polk data

acquisition by Smart Columbus, aggregated into monthly totals for PHEV and BEV against all

registrations.

The data shared in the table below is the percent of new vehicle sales (meaning ‘new vehicles’

entering the overall fleet) based on registration data.


The 2016 data set was detailed enough that the total number of EVs in the fleet (not just new

vehicle sales) could be assessed. Out of approximately 1.7 million registered vehicles in the

area, 2197 are VEV or PHEV – for a percentage of about 0.13%.

Section 4: PERFORMANCE METRICS PLAN

PERFORMANCE METRICS PLAN - Version 1.2 July 10, 2017 This performance metrics plan (PMP) supports the Smart Columbus Electrification Project

(SCEP), providing traceability, verification, and responsibility of the targeted goals that support

the implementation of the SCEP initiatives. This includes overall project goals, performance

indicators for projects, priorities and initiatives, and other indicators of progress along the way.

As the ultimate goal of the SCEP enabled by the Vulcan grant is de-carbonization, wherever

feasible the indicators are further extended to estimates of green-house-gas (GHG) reduction at

the overall project level. This PMP is organized consistent with the five primary project priorities

and their related initiatives as conveyed by the SCEP agreement with Vulcan.

Overall Performance Metrics Plan Objectives, Principles, and Organization

1.0 Objectives

The objective of this performance metrics plan (PMP) is to layout a framework for the reporting

of quantitative progress towards accomplishing of the objectives of the SCEPs, the identification

and collection of various data sets, and the methodologies to process the data into performance

metrics that support the execution, analysis, and reporting of performance indicators at all levels

along the way. It serves as a resource for the various stake holders involved in carrying out the

SCEP to be informed of the required reporting and to provide the required data that supports

documenting the accomplishments of program. The plan encompasses the goals, performance

indicators, and trackable initiatives to be quantitatively reported, the requirements of the data

the will be collected to support the reporting, and the processing of the data to create effective

performance measure indicating attainment of goas and the ultimate GHG reduction to validate

the success of the Vulcan grant program.

To the extent possible and within the financial resources of the contract, it is the intent of SCEP

to validate the performance indicators based on primary data, that is data directly observed or

collected as part of the SCEP program activities. There are instances where secondary data

sources (such as published national or regional averages) will need to be utilized because direct

observations are infeasible or cost prohibitive. One such example of secondary data is the

utilization of EVs adopted by consumers in which published averages of consumer vehicle miles

traveled on an annual basis will be used in the calculation of GHG benefits. Even in such

situations, indirect data can be complimented (or validated) with surveys of the population.

However, it is the goal to use primary data for the majority of the program, ensuring that

appropriate data collection and reporting are incorporated from the beginning.

1.1 Principles and Framework

This PMP is developed concurrently with the USDOT Smart City award which concentrates on

the deployment of connected and automated vehicles and transportation infrastructure to

increase mobility, increase safety, reduce energy and GHG emissions, and enhance quality of


life, particularly with respect to underserved communities. The principles of the SCEP PMP

merges with the overall USDOT data management plan (DMP) governing the larger Smart

Columbus project. The data from the SCEP PMP will be part of the Integrated Data Exchange

(IDE) as outlined in the USDOT data management plan (DMP) which emphasizes open data,

data sharing, and an agile approach to developing software to support the program objectives.

Data items collected to support SCEP PMP will be integrated into the USDOT funded Columbus

IDE for reuse, sharing, curation, and application development.

1.2 Roles/responsibilities

The Smart Columbus Program Management Office (PMO) will be the central coordinator with

respect to the collection, analysis, and dissemination of performance metrics and reporting

described herein, and will fall under the responsibility of the PMO performance measures

coordinator. It will be the responsibility of the PMO performance measures coordinator to insure

that all partners are cognizant of the PMP, that all participants assess performance in conformity

with the PMP, and that the PMP satisfies the needs of the projects, participants and sponsors.

As such, the PMP will be revised from time to time, such that is responsive to the needs of the

SCEP as it evolves through implementation and feedback. It is also the responsibility of the

SCEP performance measures coordinator to monitor the adequacy of the plan, and suggest

revisions and extensions in collaboration with the PMO, Vulcan, project partners, and supporting

working groups.

The PMO performance measures coordinator will provide templates and guidelines as

appropriate to guide the multiple stakeholders in submitting data. It will be the responsibility of

the performance measures coordinator to insure the appropriate descriptors (meta-data) is

available, and consistent formats are used across initiatives.

1.3 Sharing, preservation and protection SCEP will rely on the framework of the Integrated Data Exchange (IDE) in co-development

under the USDOT concurrent Smart City grant award. The IDE will provide the sharing,

preservation and protection architecture.

1.4 Terminology Performance indicators are addressed at three levels: the overall project level, the five project

priorities (grid de-carbonization, EV fleet adoption, Transit, Autonomous and Multi-Modal

Systems in the City, EV consumer adoption, and EV charging infrastructure), and the specific

initiatives under each priority area.

Project, priority, and initiative indicators are provided and are hierarchical. Priority indicators

contribute directly to a project indicator, and similarly initiative indicators contribute directly to

one of their respective priority indicators. Progress indicators are also defined. Progress

indicators encompass anything that can be numerically evaluated and reflects progress towards

objectives, but does not contribute directly to either higher level indicators. Examples of project,

priority, initiative and progress indicators are provided below.

Category #1: Project Indicators

Columbus Metropolitan Area (7 county region) transportation system during the

time period of the grant.

Project Indicator:

#3) Total New EV's Added to the Region (Consumer + Fleet)

Category #2: Priority Indicators – example from Priority 2 – Fleet Electric Vehicle

Adoption

EX. Priority Goal/Objective: Work with public, private and academic sectors to

integrate a minimum of 780 electric vehicles into their fleets by the end of 2019.

(300 public fleet, 450 private fleet, 30 Transportation Network Companies)

Priority Indicator: Fleet Electric Vehicles Purchased

Category #3: Initiative Indicators – example from Priority 2, initiative 2.1, Public Fleet

Adoption

EX. Initiative Objective: Work with public and academic sectors to integrate a

minimum of 300 electric vehicles into their fleets by the end of 2019.

Initiative Indicator: Number of EVs purchased within public fleets

Project, priority, and initiative indicators have overall targets for the life of the project.

These overall targets are typically subdivided in quarterly targets for tracking/reporting

purposes.

Category #4: Progress Indicators

All other types of report indicators apart from project, priority and initiative indicators

previously explained will be progress indicators. Such indicators are countable, but do

not directly contribute to a higher level indicator. Progress indicators will assist the team

in tracking and reporting on activities. Progress indicators also help validate if the

resources invested in a specific strategy are having the expected effect or “moving the

needle” on the priority indicators (which have defined targets based on objectives).

EX. Progress Indicator under Public Fleets Initiative 2.1:

Progress Indicator #1: # of contacts made with other government or institution

Some progress indicators will be included within the grant agreement, but others will be

developed as the program progresses and new strategies and activities are launched (for

example, initial market assessment in Q1 may result in new strategies and associated indicators

to be tracked in the remaining quarters).

As appropriate for each indicator the following are defined for performance metrics.


1. Definitions of terms or phrases used in the indicators. For example, in the example

project indicator, what constitutes an electric vehicle? Are only light duty vehicles

included in the goal, or do EVs include golf carts or all-terrain off-road vehicles as well?

2. Data needed for estimating the performance measure. For example, vehicle

make/model of EVs acquired by fleets, and miles driven by each vehicle in a public fleet.

3. Area (or location) where data should be collected for estimating the performance

measure. For example, for consumer adoption the seven county area encompassing the

City of Columbus will define the target goal. The area for most indicators will be the

seven county area unless otherwise stated.

4. Temporal resolution or extent of the data needed for estimating the performance

measure. For example, consumer EV registrations may be analyzed on a quarterly

basis.

5. Method to estimating the performance measure. This may be a high-level algorithmic

approach, modeling procedure, or pseudocode. In some instances, existing analytical

tools may be used to estimate a measure. For example, EPA’s MOVES may be used to

estimate emissions based on vehicle speeds collected from the field.

6. Baseline measure for existing conditions. For example, the increase in consumer

adoption of EVs is factored from the number of registered EVs as of Dec 31, 2016.

7. Assumptions used in estimating performance indicators.

1.5 Organization Starting with section 2.0, this document follows as closely as possible to the order of the project,

priorities and initiatives as outlined in the overall agreement, specifically section 2.0. The

project, priority and initiative objectives and indicators are duplicated from section 3.0 of the

Columbus Electrification Plan, and then additional detail (Definitions, Data, Area, Temporal

Resolution, Method, Baseline Measure, and Assumption) are provided for each indicator as

appropriate. Progress indicators from section 3.0 of the agreement are also carried over to the

PMP for additional detail. Note, additional progress indicators may be developed as the project

evolves and new information learned and new strategies are developed. As a result, as the

project progresses and new strategies develop, this performance metrics plan (PMP) will be

updated and will contain indicators not present in the original Columbus Electrification Plan

(CEP).

Section 2 of this PMP provides detail for the project level indicators.

Section 3,4,5,6 and 7 provide detail for the priorities 1 through 5 respectively, as well as the

initiatives and strategies associated with each priority.

The numbering scheme used in the CEP is used/referenced whenever possible for ease of

cross-reference.

All targets listed as TBD will be finalized by the respective Smart Columbus working groups no

later than quarter 4 of grant period unless otherwise noted. Timelines for indicators contingent

upon Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) approval will be adjusted as approval is

received.

Green power is defined as renewable energy certificates from any of the resources defined as Alternative Energy Resource, including Advanced Energy Resources and Renewable Energy Resource as defined in the Ohio Revised Code.

Contacted customer : [TBD]

Data: When delivery occurs, it will be accompanied by an Attestation Form that specifies the

Renewable Energy Resource, REC quantities, period of generation and other information.

Area: Region covered by Columbus Division of Power Baseline: Current percent of green power in DOP portfolio

Data: Total power from non-green sources in 2016

Method: The amount of GHG emission reduction for the City’s total Green Power will be

calculated based on the savings from net power purchased each year: GHG Emission Reduction for Net Generation, MT CO2e/yr

For Biomass Energy: Biomass and other organic matter are left to decay within the project boundary, and methane is emitted to the atmosphere, possibly with capture of LFG and destruction through flaring to comply with regulations or contractual requirements. Baseline emissions shall exclude methane emissions that would have to be removed to comply with national or local safety requirements or legal regulations. • Project emissions consist of : (a) CO2 emissions from fossil fuel or electricity used by the project activity facilities (PEpower,y); (b) Emissions from flaring or combustion of the gas stream (PEflare,y); (c) Emissions from the landfill gas upgrading process (PEprocess,y), where applicable.


PEy = PEpower, y + PEflare, y + PEprocess, y Where: PEy = Project emission in year y (t CO2e) PEpower, y = Emissions from the use of fossil fuel or electricity for the operation of the installed facilities in the year y (t CO2e) PEflare, y = Emissions from flaring or combustion of the landfill gas stream in the year y (t CO2e) PEprocess, y = Emissions from the landfill gas upgrading process in the year y (t CO2e) 1 Calculation based on the Clean Development Mechanism Landf ill methane recovery methodology • The amount of GHG emission reduction for the total MWh of renewable electricity generated annually: GHG Emission Reduction for Net Generation, MT CO2e/yr

Assumptions:

The reported emission value for power generation is 1,387 MT CO2e per megawatt hour (MWh) for the region containing Columbus (per the EPA eGRID 2012).

91500 vehicles sales yearly (new registrations). Targets for number of EV sales will

be based on percentage of all vehicle sales for the seven county area.

Data: Vehicle registration database accessed either commercially (Polk) or directly

through Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles

Area: Seven county region surrounding Columbus (Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Licking,

Madison, Pickaway, Union)

Temporal: Reported quarterly during the three year period

Baseline: Number of registered EVs in the Columbus region as of Dec 31, 2016


Assumptions: Both BEVs and PHEVs will be reported quarterly.

Number of miles driven for EVs will be based on available survey data for the region.

See Appendix A - Evaluating the effectiveness of Electric Vehicle adoption for

reduction of GHG for procedure and details of methodology

EV Adoption According to Vehicle Registration Records

Columbus region registration data is reflected in the tables below from the periods beginning in 2014

through April 2017.

2014 and 2015 registration data was obtained through summary information from IIHS Polk aggregated

at the National Renewable Energy Lab based on Polk Subscription data.

2016 vehicle registration data was also obtained through IIHS Polk, but the base data set were more

detailed, quarterly statistics were aggregated from monthly queries of fuel type and model years.

2017 vehicle registration data (Jan through April) was obtained through specific Polk data acquisition by

Smart Columbus, aggregated into monthly totals for PHEV and BEV against all registrations.

The data shared in the table below is the percent of new vehicle sales (meaning ‘new vehicles’ entering

the overall fleet) based on registration data.


The 2016 data set was detailed enough that the total number of EVs in the fleet (not just new vehicle

sales) could be assessed. Out of approximately 1.7 million registered vehicles in the area, 2197 are VEV

or PHEV – for a percentage of about 0.13%.

Smart Columbus is in the midst of gaining access directly to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Once

available and processed, more detailed location specific queries can be run and a greater level of detail

shared both publically and with Smart Columbus partners for research and marketi ng.

INITIATIVE 4.1: RESEARCH AND ASSESSMENT

Initiative Objective: Develop performance measures through researching and assessing the local market shifts and behavioral change related to electric vehicles in order to validate, inform, and measure the strategies and tactics undertaken as part of Consumer Adoption.

4.1.1. Strategy: Consumer Research (Section 2: 4.1.1)

Description: In order to create sustained consumer demand for EVs a culture shift must occur in the attitude of consumers towards EVs. Greater focus will be placed on early adopters. Consumer perception change will be closely monitored and measured throughout the grant period to ensure preferences move in a positive direction toward EVs. During quarter one of the grant period, research parameters and methodologies will be developed. A survey of the Columbus population will be conducted at the beginning of year one and at the end of year three of the project. Survey will track awareness, consideration, and perception.


Description: The Columbus sales environment of EVs and the dealer attitudes toward selling EV models will be assessed with the objective of (1) understanding the baseline interest and attitude towards selling EVs and (2) measuring the culminating impact the Smart Columbus Electrification Plan has on the favorability of EVs among dealers.


Description: The availability of EV models will be monitored and measured to ensure product is increasingly available through the duration of the grant period and is on par with model availability in peer cities and ZEV states.

Evaluating the effectiveness of Electric Vehicle adoption for reduction of GHG

Each electric vehicle (EV) adopted in the Smart Columbus Program (SCP), whether pure battery electric vehicle (BEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), will displace an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. The benefit in terms of reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for each displaced ICE vehicle is dependent on a number of factors including the efficiency of the EV, the utilization of the vehicle in terms of miles driven, and the upstream factors that contribute to the carbonization of the electrical supply used for recharging. The SCP will assess the GHG reduction resulting from EV adoption using scientific yet simple and straight forward methodologies as demonstrated and documented through the US Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE through the office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) provides data and a number of tools to support the GHG performance measure reporting as well as various resources for alternative fuel vehicle adoption for cities through their Clean Cities program. Furthermore, the DOE, through the EERE office, has signed a memorandum of understanding with the US Department of Transportation in support of the Smart Cities program. The methodology used to assess GHG reduction will consist of assessing the number and type of EVs adopted through the SCP, the efficiency of each EV model adopted, the extent of utilization of vehicles within the Columbus area, the average fuel efficiency and utilization of displaced ICE vehicles, and the upstream factors related to carbonization of the grid. This general method is applicable to EVs put into service in public fleets, private fleets, service fleets, or by the general consumer. To estimate mobile source emissions resulting from an EV replacing a conventionally fueled vehicle, the DOE, through the Argonne National Laboratory, provides the Alternative Fuel Life-Cycle Environmental and Economic Transportation (AFLEET) Tool (https://greet.es.anl.gov/afleet). AFLEET takes into account all of these factors. The base case results of this Excel-based spreadsheet model allows the city to calculate and compare the current annual GHG emissions as well as air pollutant emissions from alternative fuel and conventional vehicles. Tailoring AFLEET to Columbus’ needs requires information on present and future decarbonization of the

https://greet.es.anl.gov/afleet

local grid. Reasonably current carbon intensity estimates of the local grid are available through another DOE tool called GREET which provides regional emissions of fossil -based power generation within various regional aggregations of the United States. These aggregation levels include state, Emissions and Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) subregion, and North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) levels. GREET (Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions and Energy Use in Transportation) was developed over 20 years ago. GREET provides a fuel -cycle model to generate the necessary wells-to-wheels petroleum use and GHG emissions for multiple fuel production pathways and vehicle types. It is updated annually. To understand vehicle lifetime emissions benefits, estimates from GREET can be further refined with the electric generation mix from the local utility company as they implement additional renewable energy sources, as the mix of fossil fuel generators changes, and in response to different charging profiles encouraged by the Smart Columbus Program.

Vehicle utilization measured in annual miles driven for average consumer vehicle utilization is available through national and state survey data. Aggregate average fuel economy of the existing ICE fleet is estimated based on the existing fleet composition revealed from vehicle registration records and the fuel economy rating from each vehicle model (available from fueleconomy.gov ). Vehicle registration data is available either directly from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles or from data aggregators such as R. L. Polk. Utilization from fleet service of any type is typically available directly from the fleet managers in terms of miles driven on a quarterly or yearly basis. Examples using this methodology are provided through the Alternative Fuels Data Center’s (AFDC) Emissions from Hybrids and PEVs page (http://www.afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_emissions.php). This site provides a representative breakdown of electricity sources and current annual emissions per vehicle type by geographic location as well as national averages. As an example, the current annual emissions per vehicle in Ohio are included below. The data sources and methodology used to calculate the emissions, fuel use, and electricity sources for conventional and electric drive vehicles on this page are consistent with data and methodology that will be employed by SCP, and available through DOE tools such as AFLEET and GREET. Whereas sample calculations are provided for large geographic regions (such as Ohio statewide in the table below), the GHG performance measures for the SCP program will be tailored to the jurisdictional and geographic areas impacted by the program, and will also take into account anticipated changes in the mix of generators serving plug-in vehicles as a result of the anticipated evolution of the generation mix and charging patterns of the vehicles.

Data Requirements to Perform a GHG using AFLEET Tool

The AFLEET Tool provides default data for both ICE vehicles and BEVs including: annual vehicle mileage,

fuel economy, and grid mix by NERC region. However, Columbus should update values using vehicle

fleet and utility data to more accurately calculate GHG emissions. Public and private fleets may collect

annual vehicle mileage and fuel economy through the use of fleet management software. In that case,

the data can be easily aggregated by vehicle type and entered into AFLEET (Table 2).

http://www.afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_emissions.php

Table 2 - AFLEET Key Vehicle Inputs

For ride-share and personal vehicles, this information may not be easily accessible. AFLEET has national

average mileage (Table 3) and fuel economy (Table 4) data, though more detailed estimates looking at

regional driving patterns of both ride-share and personal vehicle drivers could refine the analysis.

Table 3 - AFLEET Default Average Annual Vehicle Miles Traveled

Calculate the net electricity saving (NES) by correcting the gross electricity savings for any leakage and transmission & distribution losses.

Once the project is installed, the electricity saved by the project activity in year y is calculated as follows:

𝑁𝐸𝑆𝑦 =∑𝐸𝑆𝑖,𝑦×1

(1− 𝑇𝐷𝑦)

𝑛

𝑖=1

Equation (1)

Where: 𝐸𝑆𝑖,𝑦 = (𝑄𝑖,𝐵𝐿 × 𝑃𝑖,𝐵𝐿 ×𝑂𝑖 ,𝐵𝐿 × (1− 𝑆𝑂𝐹𝑖,𝐵𝐿))

− (𝑄𝑖,𝑃 ×𝑃𝑖,𝑃,𝑦 × 𝑂𝑖,𝑦 ×(1 − 𝑆𝑂𝐹𝑖,𝑦))

Equation (2)

𝑆𝑂𝐹𝑖,𝐵𝐿 = 𝐴𝐹𝑅𝑖,𝐵𝐿 × 𝑂𝐹𝑖,𝐵𝐿 Equation (3)

𝑆𝑂𝐹𝑖,𝑦 = 𝐴𝐹𝑅𝑖,𝑦 ×𝑂𝐹𝑖 ,𝑦 Equation (4)

Where:

𝑁𝐸𝑆𝑦 = Net electricity saved in year y (kWh)

𝐸𝑆𝑖,𝑦 = Estimated annual electricity savings for equipment of type i, for the relevant type of project equipment in year y (kWh)

𝑦 = Crediting year counter

𝑖 = Counter for luminaire type

Section 5: GREEN POWER MARKETING PLAN

COLUMBUS DIVISION OF POWER GREEN POWER MARKETING PLAN OVERVIEW

The Division of Power will raise the green energy portfolio from 50,760MWh which amounts to 5.7% of

their total power sold as of 2016 to 28.4% by the end of the grant period and to 29% by 2022. It is

estimated that between 2017 and 2022 a minimum of 1.2 million MWh of new green energy will be

consumed through the Columbus Division of Power.

The Columbus Division of Power purchases on average 885,000 MWh of power each year to serve

approximately 13,000 customers and the street light system throughout the city. The division is

committed to reducing its GHG emissions and diversifying its total energy mix through three (3) green

power purchasing programs:

GREEN POWER PROGRAMS

Program #1: 8,760MWh of the 50,760 MWh green energy purchased in 2016 is sourced from Central

Ohio Bio-Energy (COBE) and Quasar Energy Group, which develops biomass waste-to-energy technology

utilizing anaerobic digestion. The Columbus Division of Power is committed to continuing this green

power purchase annually at a cost of $140,000 to the City.

Program #2: EcoSmart Choice Green Pricing Program option for its customers allowing them to offset up

to 100% of their electric usage. This green pricing program funds the purchase and retirement of

renewable energy certificates through American Municipal Power. The Division of Power intends to

increase participation in the program by 5% of renewable energy supplied by the end of the grant

period.

Program 3: Purchase power agreement (PPA) clause that necessitates 20% of the total power

requirements come from Green Power. Through this agreement the Columbus Division of Power will

purchase approximately 180,000 MWh of renewable energy certificates each year at an estimated cost

of $1/MWh. The City of Columbus will utilize Vulcan grant funds to cover fifty percent of the cost for

the first two years, future years will be funded 100% by the City of Columbus.

MARKETING PLAN

Build awareness of green power programs and enroll customers in EcoSmart through:

Outreach: Designing targeted materials to promote program to all existing customers

Education: Creating content and research on renewable energy

Access: Updating website and linking DOP and AMP sites

Partnership: Find with other organizations & programs to engage (Smart Columbus, Ohio

Environmental Council, GreenSpot, APPA, AMP etc.)
