SORE Subject SOREs by 2024. Instead, the agency and lawmakers are only seeking to ban the sale of this equipment in California. From that point, the state would create a retail environment where going forward only zero-emission equipment could be purchased in the state after 2024. Hence, as older equipment ages, operating costs for businesses are set to skyrocket as zero emission equipment is typically more expensive than its gas-powered equipment. In addition, the use of batteries is a hindrance to operations as equipment running time will be limited. According to a recent report by the Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association (PGMA), these ZEE units are typically five to 20 times the cost of gasoline-powered portable generators, yet they only provide backup power for a short period of time (typically 1-2 hours) before the battery is discharged. That organization specifically warned of the life-threatening impact this pending legislation could have on how Californians prepare for and respond to power outages, wildfires, and other calamities. “An estimated 1.5 million portable generators exist in California, primarily used by residents during natural disasters such as wildfires, and during the frequent rolling blackouts enacted by local utilities to mitigate demand on the power grid or protect against fire danger. During these times, average Californians rely on portable generators to power their freezers, refrigerators, water pumps, communication devices, and even life-sustaining medical equipment,” the organization wrote. PGMA estimated that the average load homeowners need during these periods can be fully powered by a typical portable generator for 10 to 12 hours. “After a simple refueling, the portable generators are good for another 10 to 12 hours,” it wrote. “In contrast, a comparable ZEE unit required under the new proposal would power that same load for a scant 35 minutes to three hours, after which there would be a need for fresh batteries or a re-charge from unreliable and expensive solar panels.” Joseph Harding, technical director of PGMA, concluded, “The use of Spray Non-Corrosive Reel – Manual and Power Rewind Options Always working when you need ıt. hannay.com | 877-467-3357 6 HNY80604 | PRESSURE PressureWashNews_March<strong>2021</strong>_HPH_SNC_VF.indd WASH NEWS | VOL. 3, NO. 4 | FALL 1 <strong>2021</strong> 2/9/21 2:40 PM
