Coordinated Joint Investment Plan for Clean Technology Innovation Between

Jiangsu Science and Technology Department (JSTD), P.R. China And

The Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission of the State of California of the United States of America

In furtherance of the California-Jiangsu Clean Technology Partnership (the "Partnership") established in

Nanjing on June 5, 2017, between Jiangsu Province of the People's Republic of China and the

Government of California of the United States of America, the Jiangsu Science & Technology

Department (JSTD) and the Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (the "Energy

Commission") of the State of California (hereinafter the "Participants") hereby agree to focus resources

on developing the low-carbon and clean technology innovation categories identified in this Coordinated

Joint Investment Plan (the "Investment Plan 11).

The low-carbon and clean technology innovation categories identified in this Investment Plan are

consistent with the goals of the Partnership; specifically, they are mutually beneficial clean technologies

that help each Participant's region achieve shared climate change and air pollution reduction goals as

well as facilitate economic growth.

Paragraph 1

LOW-CARBON AND CLEAN TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION CATEGORIES

• Building & Transportation Energy Efficiency

• Renewable Energy

• Grid Modernization & Information Technology

• Energy Storage

• Water-Energy-Food Nexus

Paragraph 2

IMPLEMENTATION

According to the Partnership agreement, the Participants will create a Joint Working Group to carry out

this agreement. Each Participant will identify and fund eligible projects consistent with this Investment

Plan according to !ts own processes (the "Projects"). Each Project solicitation shall include a description

of the Partnership and the benefits of participating in the Partnership. This Investment Plan shall be

reviewed and updated every three years.

Projects funded by one Party should be communicated to the other Party, so that Project match funding

may be considered, according to all appropriate laws. The Participants agree to collaborate where

possible, including exchange of documents, workshops, webinars, and other forms of information

sharing, including in-person meetings in either Jiangsu or California.
