2 Agenda Presentation Overview Usage Deconstruction Electricity Fundamentals Renewable Portfolio Standard Energy Master Plan Renewable Resources Value Drivers

3 National Consumption Trends Energy Consumption by Fuel Type Percent of Total Site BTU Increase in Electricity Use is driven by: Large increase in use for appliances and lighting Increased penetration of air conditioning units (from 57% in 1978 to 78% in 2001) Reductions in Natural Gas and Fuel Oil consumption is driven by: Increased efficiency in heating systems Reduction of units using Fuel Oil (from 22% to 8%) 0 Electricty Natural Gas Fuel Oil LPG

4 National Consumption Trends Energy Consumption by End Use 80 Percent of Total Site BTU Space Heating A/C Water Heating Appliances & Lighting

5 80 Mid Atlantic Region Consumption Trends Energy Consumption by End Use Percent of Total Site BTU Air Conditioning: Units with A/C 75% Central A/C 33% Room Unit 42% Annual Spend $ Annual Usage 995kWh 0 Space Heating A/C Water Heating Appliances & Lighting

6 Appliance Penetration Trends Penetration (%) Air Conditioner Microwave Dishwasher Clothes Dryer Home Computer Penetration of various household appliances helps to explain the shift of electric use to lighting and additional appliances. Household appliance trends are as follows: 17% of homes have more than 1 refrigerator up from 14% in % of homes have a separate freezer down from 38% in % of homes now own at least one color TV, up from 82% in 1980 Home computer ownership is up to 79% in 2003 Slow growth of air conditioning usage despite its increase in penetration indicates fast acceptance of high-efficiency units

12 Representation of Non-Conventional Electricity Generation Renewable Generation Clean Energy Wind Solar Fuel Cells Wave/Tidal Biomass Geothermal Hydro vs. Conventional Generation Wind Solar Fuel Cell Wave/Tidal Biomass Geothermal Hydro Nuclear Clean Coal (IGCC) Coal Trailings Tire Burners No Carbon Footprint Addresses an existing environmental issue The definitions vary from state to state program to program In absence of Federal legislation states have required that certain percentages of their load be derived from renewable or clean energy sources. These requirements are called Renewable Portfolio Standards.

13 U.S Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Status Currently there are 24 states plus the District of Columbia that have RPS policies in place. Together these states account for more than half of the electricity sales in the United States. Four other states, Illinois, Missouri, Virginia, and Vermont, have nonbinding goals for adoption of renewable energy instead of an RPS. (Vermont has a voluntary goal which converts to man.)

14 NJ Class I Renewable Energy Electric energy produced from: Solar technologies, photovoltaic technologies, wind energy, fuel cells powered by renewable fuels, geothermal technologies, wave or tidal action, and/or methane gas from landfills or a biomass facility, provided that the biomass is cultivated and harvested in a sustainable manner. Types of class I renewable energy that qualify for use in meeting the requirements of this subchapter are set forth at N.J.A.C. 14:8-2.5.

15 NJ Class II Renewable Energy Electric energy produced from: Hydroelectric facility that has a maximum design capacity of 30 megawatts or less from all generating units combined. Resource recovery facility located in New Jersey, covered by all required NJDEP approvals, and operating in compliance with all applicable New Jersey environmental laws. A resource recovery facility located outside of New Jersey qualifies as Class II renewable energy if both of the following criteria are met: 1. The facility is located in a state with retail competition; and 2. NJDEP makes an environmental compliance determination, stating that the facility meets or exceeds all NJDEP requirements that would apply to the facility if it were located in New Jersey, or meets equivalent environmental requirements.

16 Renewable Energy Certificates Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are a market mechanism to track and trade attributes of renewable energy A REC represents the environmental benefits or attributes of one megawatt-hour of generation from a renewable generating facility. Electric power generators are required to obtain RECs to satisfy their RPS goals. In absence of sufficient RECs generators are required to pay an Alternate Compliance Payment (ACP)

17 Solar Renewable Energy Certificates Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) are a market mechanism to track and trade attributes of photovoltaic solar renewable energy An SREC represents the environmental benefits or attributes of one megawatt-hour of generation from a generating facility. Electric power generators are required to obtain SRECs to satisfy their RPS goals. In absence of sufficient SRECs generators are required to pay an Solar Alternate Compliance Payment (SACP)

18 Net-Metering and Interconnection Standards Interconnection State regulations that permit small generators (< 2MWs) to be installed behind the meter. These generators cannot be sized to over produce based on current site consumption. Mandates that utilities connect them to the grid. Net-Metering State regulations that allow interconnected generators to offset their electric consumption with an on-site resource. Allows production of electricity beyond site consumption to be sold to the grid and be compensated at the wholesale price of energy.

19 Energy Master Plan Goals 1. To provide New Jersey with secure, safe and reasonably priced energy supplies and services. 2. To encourage and maintain economic growth prospects for the State. 3. To promote the achievement of Federal and State environmental requirements and objective in a low cost manner. (Environmental protection and impact)
