Solar in most conservative zip codes in state; number 1 area conservative senior citizens. When solar reaches grid parity, consumers will exit. Evolving role for utilities. Customer satisfying process, compete with vendors on distribution, generation and efficiency. Perfect storm in power industry--lower gas and solar prices, building efficiency technologies. Richard Kauffman, DOE, innovative business models, with that comes innovative technology. Students in school demanding solar on school rooftops. In theory, projects financable. Long term power purchase agreements, but source of funds not there. Challenge is that to use tax benefits have to get equity. Not market issue but tax equity and debt--tough to get for small projects. Can't get financing. More interest in lower prices, reliability--munis looking to do dist gen. Scaling an issue; make service model more efficient. Gen side-what should utilities do? Low demand growth with uncertain future investment in assets. What can utilities do to get bigger share of wallet? Services efficiency, increase value of product. Kris--commissions can pre-approve transmission, accept more technologies like storage, order 1000 good thing to find agreement on cost allocation.

Efficiency will save $9 billion in AZ. Storage business model, digitization, decoupling, Arizona citizens believe solar is their economic destiny.
