8 Energy and Economic Development

9 JobsOhio Classifies Energy as a Primary Industry Ohio s Utica shale presents substantial opportunities for investments at all levels. The state also is experiencing growth in the wind and solar supply chain, as well as advanced technologies for energy efficiencies and a diverse supply of power generation. Quick facts Employment - 40,835 people Gross state production - $17.5 billion Average wages - $72,705 Number of firms - 1,213 9

10 What is Economic Development? The main goal of economic development is improving the economic well being of a community through efforts that entail job creation, job retention, tax base enhancements and quality of life.

22 But Global Data also flagged the competitive advantage that U.S. companies will receive from the lower cost provided by shale gas. And this opportunity is attracting investment from some of the industry s bigger names. Just last week the International Energy Agency said some 30 million European jobs are at risk as manufacturers of petrochemicals, plastics and fertilizers are relocating to the U.S. Source: Shale Reshapes Petrochemicals Business. The Wall Street Journal. Ben Winkley (July, 2014)

23 Ohio Midstream Processing Terms Natural Gas Processing Plant - Natural gas processing removes impurities and separates higher- valued products known as natural gas liquids. Processing prepares a dry gas stream that meets industry standards for transportation in highpressure pipelines. Fractionation Plant - Fractionation is the process that involves the separation of the natural gas liquids into discrete natural gas liquid purity products (i.e., ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline). Steam cracker Plant - A steam cracker is a petrochemical plant that uses feedstocks (i.e., ethane, propane) to create ethylene, propylene, and other petrochemicals.

33 Energy as a BR&E Strategy

34 What Can You do Locally? Identify businesses that have an interest in energy efficiency and distributed energy investments. Research net metering rules for your county/township. Identify funding and support programs. Include rules for siting renewable energy projects in local zoning ordinances. Include space for energy development into future planning of business parks. 34

35 NFIB National Small Business (less than 250) Poll The energy costs of individual small businesses vary greatly. Ten (10) percent of small employers claim that energy costs are the largest single cost they have while 8 percent claim that they have no direct energy expenses. Small-business energy costs (closely related to consumption) are primarily linked to vehicles (38%), heating and cooling of occupied space (33%), operating equipment or processes (21%) and lighting (6%). 35

36 So, How Can We Help You? OSU has developed a Business Retention and Expansion Program. Program was created in 1986 and has been used in nearly all Ohio Counties. Originally created to focus on the manufacturing sector but has since expanded in the retail sector and specific sectors ie health care, downtowns

37 BRE Energy Development Program The primary objective of this program is to increase the knowledge, awareness of business owners and leaders concerning distributed energy generation, net metering, and renewable energy development. This program will provide participants the tools and knowledge to enhance decision-making capacity on energy investments, allowing Ohio businesses to prosper, grow, and provide stabilized employment opportunities

38 Components of the BR&E A customized business retention and expansion survey to be distributed to businesses in your community. This electronic survey will serve as a needs assessment, market the program to businesses, and collect critical data to assess overall compatibility with distributed energy projects. Presentation from OSU Extension providing renewable energy policy overview and foundation level information on distributed energy generation, net metering, and renewable energy projects. Expert Q&A panel session with utility, industry, and financial experts, to provide detailed information on net metering, rules, cost, construction, permitting, timing, and financing options.

39 Components of the BR&E Case study sessions presented by business leaders who have successfully implemented distributed energy generation projects in Ohio and can highlight both opportunities and challenges with their respective projects. Meetings with panel representatives to advance project discussions to a more detailed level. Companies (participants) will bring electric consumption data with them to take advantage of this initial consultation with facility visits to follow at a later date, if the company chooses.
