1 Fort Chipewyan Community Energy Baseline Marc Huot Pembina Institute Sustainable Communities Group communities.pembina.org

2 What we ll discuss today What is an energy baseline The cost of energy in Ft. Chip Energy efficiency options Renewable electricity options

3 What is an Energy Baseline Study? Detailed look at current energy use Energy sources - wood, diesel, propane, gasoline and electricity Cost of energy use Greenhouse gas emissions

4 What does an Energy Baseline Study Tell You? Community Energy Breakdown Cost of energy use Greenhouse gas emissions of energy use Identify opportunities to reduce costs Tool for energy planning and evaluation

10 Residential Average home energy costs $2,900 Average electricity use is 14,250 kwh per year Average ~10 barrels of fuel oil per home per year (fuel oil range between 4 and 15 barrels) Annual*Cost*Per*Home:*$2,911* Space*Hea/ng* ($1,939)* 67%* Domes/c*Water* Hea/ng*($389)* 13%* Cooking*($134)* 5%* Appliances*and* Ligh/ng*($449)* 15%*

12 Diesel Generators Diesel use for electricity increasing slowly In part due to population change Total&Genera+on&& (kwh&per&year)&!12,000,000!!!10,000,000!!!8,000,000!!!6,000,000!!!4,000,000!!!2,000,000!!!"!!!! 2000! 2001! 2002! 2003! 2004! 2005! 2006! 2007! 2008! 2009! 2010! 2011!

13 Options for cleaner, sustainable energy use

14 Energy Efficient Houses Better insulation, lower water use R2000 construction 30% less energy than regular home Passive solar heating simple steps to use the sun s heat

15 Energy Audits: ACFN Multiplex may save up to 50% in heating

16 Solar water heaters Save $140 - $560 per year in electricity costs 50 homes with solar heaters à save 26,500 to 49,000 litres of diesel at generator Example West Moberly First Nation Solar Community - Local residents trained and certified installers.

17 Solar Electricity Costs are coming down quickly for solar Local people can be trained to install systems Systems can grow over time to use more solar Xeni- Gwit in First Nation in BC has small solar- diesel grid T Souke First Nation has 75 kw of solar PV installed and sells power to the provincial grid

18 Solar air heat Uses the sun to warm air before it enters the building Beaver Lake First Nation saves over $7,000 per year in natural gas heating costs

19 Hybrid diesel systems Solar, wind and hydro can be combined with diesel generators Ramea Island (NL) - a community of 700 people - has 390 kw wind farm that generates 800,000 kwh of electricity Kotzebue, Alaska - remote community has 17 wind turbines Xeni- Gwit in First Nation in BC has solar- diesel grid kwh Annual Avoided Diesel (L) Annual GHG reductions (tonnes) Current electrical demand 11,447, % from renewables 572, , % from renewables 1,717, , % from renewables 2,861, ,

20 Lighting options T5 and T8 lights Convert T12 lights 20 new fixtures would save $180 per year of electricity* LED exit lights Convert incandescent exit lights save $31 per sign* *does not include cost of lights
