2 The Energy Landscape in Massachusetts, or The Case for an Aggressive Clean Energy Agenda 2
3 Mass. is at the End of the Energy Pipeline 3
4 Energy Dollars Flow Out of MA We spend $22B per year on energy; 80% leaves MA -- $18B Oil & Natural Gas - Canada MA Energy Imports $B 2008 Fuel Oil (heating, diesel) $5.0 Gasoline $9.2 Jet Fuel $1.4 Other Petroleum $0.9 Natural Gas $5.2 Coal $0.3 Total $22 B Per Household Average ~ $4,600 Natural Gas - PA,NY Natural Gas - U.S. Gulf Coast Oil & Natural Gas - Middle East Natural Gas - Caribbean Coal Colombia Oil - Venezuela 4
5 5 Energy Costs: Low now; Will inevitably increase and remain volatile in the future
6 Concerns about Fuel Diversity ISO-NE 6
7 Mass. Has One of the Most Aggressive Climate Policies Required Emissions Reductions 7
8 Seizing the Window of Opportunity 8
9 A Clean Energy Policy Revolution Since 2007 An integrated approach in legislation, regulation and investment to: Lower energy costs Mitigate volatility Grow clean energy sector Become more energy independent Improve the environment 9
10 A Clean Energy Policy Revolution Since 2007 New Tools: All cost-effective Energy Efficiency must be procured by distribution utilities De-coupling to align incentives for utilities Renewable Portfolio Standard to send the right market signals 10
11 A Clean Energy Policy Revolution Since 2007 New Tools: Requirement of long-term contracts to provide certainty for the development community Incentivize and remove regulatory barriers to net-metering to expand distributed generation Remove regulatory barriers to expedited interconnection 11
12 A Clean Energy Policy Revolution Since 2007 New Tools: Create a level playing field for demand resources and renewable energy in Regional Markets Open proceeding to explore the right regulatory path for grid modernization and dynamic pricing. Create innovation center and state funding to help fund clean energy development and job growth 12
13 Clean Energy Still Needs Government Incentives Without the current capital provisions in place, we would not have been able to fail over and over again, which is what it took to advance the technology needed 13
14 Clean Energy Still Needs Government Incentives "The development of horizontal drilling took trial and error. Without the current capital provisions in place, we would not have been able to fail over and over again, which is what it took to advance the technology needed to produce the Bakken and numerous other resource plays across America. Harold Hamm, the CEO of Continental Resources at the June 12 Senate Finance Committee hearing on the relationship between the tax code and energy policy 14
15 The Results 15

33 CONCLUSION Conventional fossil-based market: The more it changes, the more it stays the same Regional to global demand will increase prices Gas prices will stay volatile NE is congested Lack of fuel diversity is a challenge Subsidies still needed Clean energy sector creates economic opportunities Need to address air emissions/climate Window of opportunity is now Lowest energy prices in years Investments in clean energy are relatively small and result in significant savings for customers and greater reliability 5 years experience of ramping up the most aggressive EE and RE programs in the country
