2 Support Target Markets Industry interface Clean energy grants Assess Innovative Technology Competitive grants Analyze Policy & Regulations Legislature Public Service Commission Conduct Outreach & Education Community groups Companies and non-profits Individuals Advise the Governor MEA

3 Background Farm boy from Illinois Education Pre-med/Biology Environmental Studies/Alternative Energy Career Ecological economics non-profit Energy efficiency consultant to DOE Clean energy consultant to DOE, DOD, EPA, MEA MEA Clean Energy Program Manager - Solar - Geothermal Heating & Cooling - Game Changers - Smart Energy Communities - Clean Energy Grants ME

4 Presentation Overview Energy Efficiency Goals Policies Practices Sustainable Energy Goals Policies Practices

5 Energy Efficiency Goals 15% reduction in per capita electricity consumption and demand by 2015 from a 2007 baseline On track to meet peak demand goals, not consumption goals Policies EmPOWER Funded ECMs will: Reduce energy usage by 2 million MWh per year Save $250 million annually Save $3.7 billion over ECM useful life

6 Energy Efficiency Practices Evaluate best ECMs - State Agency list Ensure payback is shorter than expected useful life - EECBG/ARRA Consider use of ESCOs, bonds, etc. Standardized procurement?

7 Energy Efficiency Practices Leverage available incentives - Federal - State - County - Utility

8 Energy Efficiency Practices Apply for MD Smart Energy Communities grants to: - Set EE/RE/TR goals - Craft and adopt resolutions - Receive free technical assistance - Exchange ideas with peers - Develop real-world projects

9 State goals 20% by % solar by 2020 In 2011, the Governor decided to focus on instate renewable generation RPS Creates SRECs for solar Created RECs for all other technologies MEA is assessing TRECs for geothermal, solar thermal, biomass thermal, etc. Sustainable Energy

10 State goals 20% by 2022 Sustainable Energy

11 Sustainable Energy State goals 2% solar by 2020 (150/1212 = 12.4%) Utility Scale PV: 58 MW Residential Scale PV: 28 MW Commercial Scale PV: 64 MW Solar PV Installed Capacity October 2013 Residential Scale ( MW) Commercial Scale ( MW) Utility Scale (2+ MW)

12 Sustainable Energy RPS Creates SRECs (tradable attributes from 1 MWh) for solar energy Created RECs for all other technologies MEA is assessing TRECs for geothermal, solar thermal, biomass thermal, etc.

13 Practices Net Metering - 1 generator, 1 customer, 1 load - Full electricity rate offset - Costs and benefits debated Aggregate Net Metering - 1 generator, 1 customer (ag, nonprofit, local governments), 2-20 loads - Full electricity rate offset Community Energy in 2014? - 1 generator, unlimited # of customers, unlimited # of loads - Negotiated electricity rate offset Sustainable Energy

14 Sustainable Energy Practices No-cost financing with PPAs and 3 rd party leasing

15 Practices Responsible solar siting Sustainable Energy

16 Practices Responsible solar siting Sustainable Energy

17 Practices Responsible ag land management Sustainable Energy

18 Practices Prepare for EVs Sustainable Energy

19 Sustainable Energy Practices Make property tax exemption status transparent

20 Practices Aggregated/bulk solar purchasing Solarize is one model Sustainable Energy

21 Sustainable Energy Practices Consider Net Zero Energy incentives or standards California passed NZEH standards

22 Practices Standardized solar permitting Expedited solar permitting Sustainable Energy

23 Practices Standardized solar permitting Sustainable Energy

24 Sustainable Energy Practices Expedited solar permitting/administrative burdens?

25 Practices Expedited solar permitting/models Sustainable Energy

26 Practices Standardized/expedited solar permitting Solar industry willing to pay for services
