POWER SYSTEM PROBLEMS
Physical: System balancing
Economic: Utility reward systems
Policy: Both of the above, plus creating certainty

FUTURE OF UTILITY POLICYSOFT COSTS
U.S. soft costs are 2X higher than Australia’s, and 4X higher than Germany’s
![Page 16: Investment-Grade Policy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062905/587208921a28ab176b8b6bbb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

WHAT IS INVESTMENT-GRADE POLICY?
Reward performance (e.g. RPS) Continuous improvement Long time horizon Siting certainty Pre-cooked PPAs Contract sanctity Minimize soft costs
This is the formula for Investment-Grade Policy
This will slash costs and volumes will explode

IF YOU REDUCE RISKS, YOU SLASH COSTS
LCOE of solar doubles when interest rates increase from1% to 11%
Effect of WACC on LCOE,
constant GHI

WHAT INVESTORS NEED TO DO
Communicate, clearly and emphatically, that they are ready to invest, given good policy
Enunciate the precepts of good policy: Long-term, continuous improvement, contract certainty, siting certainty
Deliver that message to key venues: Governors, PUCs, Energy Ministers
