The purpose of this solicitation is to fund applied research to increase California’s hydropower generation through precipitation enhancement (cloud seeding). Research funded by this solicitation will foster cost-effective, robust approaches to manage anticipated needs for zero-carbon, fast-ramping resources in the context of a rapidly evolving energy system and climate change.; The proposed research contributes to implementation of the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) 2021-2025 Investment Plan and responds to the strategic objective: “Inform California's Transition to an Equitable, Zero-Carbon Energy System that is Climate-Resilient and Meets Environmental Goals” (Chapter 7). Specifically, this solicitation supports the topic 44 within the Climate Resilience Initiative: “Integrating Climate Resilience in Electricity System Planning.” Hydroelectric power is an important source of zero-carbon, dispatchable power in California. It is a critical element of the state’s electricity system and in-state generation, providing peaking reserve, spinning reserve, and load following capacity, as well as transmission line support (Somani, et al., 2021). The percentage of the state’s electricity supplied by hydropower varies, as hydropower resources are strongly dependent on magnitude and timing of snowmelt runoff and rainfall. Between 2012 and 2021, hydropower (including in-state generation and imports) provided an average of 9 percent of California’s total energy mix (California Energy Commission 2022). As the state continues to contend with drought and other climate-driven impacts on water and hydropower resource availability, as well as develop more sustainable water management practices (California Water Action Plan, 2014), the proposed research will support opportunities for increasing and sustaining hydropower generation. Specifically, the research will contribute to more effective precipitation enhancement (cloud seeding) strategies.

The Climate Action Equity Project (CAEP) is an initiative distributing grants through the Greater New Orleans Foundation (GNOF) to support equitable climate action projects. This program aligns with GNOF's mission to address climate challenges by focusing on equity, ensuring that underserved communities in the Greater New Orleans area are actively involved and benefit from these efforts. The grants aim to further the goals outlined in the "Taking Steps Together for Equity & Climate" framework, emphasizing a collaborative and inclusive approach to climate resilience. The primary beneficiaries of this program are nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations serving the Greater New Orleans area, particularly those located in New Orleans and led by, or in partnership with, residents of underserved neighborhoods. The grants also encourage applications from smaller organizations and those with limited grant application experience, providing support to ensure broader participation. The impact goals are centered on fostering a more equitable and sustainable future for the region by empowering local communities to lead climate action. The CAEP focuses on several key priority areas: modernizing energy use, improving transportation choices, reducing waste, and creating a culture that supports workforce and small business opportunities in climate action. The program offers flexible support, covering general operations, various programs, and advocacy efforts including legislative, judicial, or executive advocacy, community organizing, campaigns, leadership development, and policy development. Additionally, capacity building is a significant focus, supporting technology needs, collaboration, professional development, communications training, organizational effectiveness, and evaluation and research. Expected outcomes include tangible improvements in local climate resilience, increased community engagement in climate solutions, and the growth of a green economy that benefits underserved populations. Applications will be evaluated on criteria such as meeting eligibility and guidelines, the plan for evaluating program impact, the proposed use of funds, and the organization's collaboration with underserved communities. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed as a collective target, the evaluation criteria suggest a focus on demonstrable project impact and community benefit, aligning with a theory of change that posits local, equitable initiatives will lead to broader regional climate resilience and social equity.
