  1. Southeast MI Council of Government March 5, 2009

  2. Bureau of Energy Systems • Mission • The Bureau of Energy Systems will create energy policy to support, grow and transform the energy economy in Michigan • Goals: • Create new jobs • Diversify Michigan’s economy • Secure new investment • Use Michigan’s strengths to become a leader in the development and commercialization of advanced energy technologies

  3. Priorities: Advanced Energy Storage Distributed Generation Wind Energy Efficiency Workforce Development Bureau of Energy Systems

  4. Advanced Energy Storage Message Michigan must be the worldwide leader in battery research and development. Goal Michigan must capture large scale advanced energy storage commercialization opportunities for automotive battery, commercial and defense applications, and for large scale and distributed storage capacity.

  5. Distributed Generation Message Michigan must support solar and wind sectors by creating new demand and capturing full manufacturing value chain for small advanced energy systems. Goal Diversify Michigan’s economy by developing and deploying distributed small generation systems throughout Michigan and the Great Lakes Region.

  6. Large Scale Wind Message Michigan has the capacity and resources to lead the nation in wind development and manufacturing Goal: Michigan must become a regional manufacturing power for wind turbines and wind turbine components.

  7. Energy Efficiency Message Energy efficiency incorporates all of our energy goals and is the means to generate the most jobs in the fastest manner Energy efficiency is the least expensive means of avoiding energy cost • Deliverable • Benefits: • avoids cost of new generation • Residents can save 15-20% offtheir energy bills

  8. Common Threads • Need to include both retention and creation of Michigan businesses and jobs • Include job creation and wealth creation • Decrease CO2 emissions • Help support grid stability • Need price predictability in our energy profile

  9. Workforce Demand driven training for energy sector jobs • The Green Jobs Initiative • DELEG is investing $6 million for green jobs to: • Increase the number of green industries and businesses • Develop green education and training programs • Invest in worker education and training for green jobs • Support urban renewal by creating green jobs and training opportunities for a diverse mix of people • Unlimited jobs potential • Michigan is 1 of 4 states that will create more than 30,000 manufacturing job in the wind sector alone. U.S. Department of Energy • Michigan is the 4th best positioned state to expand wind power manufacturing jobs. Renewable Energy Policy Project Study Michigan has the potential to be one of the top 8 states for wind production.U.S. Department of Energy

  10. Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, and Green Practices programs Green Lodging Energy Demonstration Centers Collaboration with BWT on Green Jobs Training Initiative RETAP and REBUILD Clean Cities and Biofuels Tax Credit program New Green Communities Challenge and tools for: Business & Nonprofit Industrial Residential Wind; Solar; Agri-energy; Renewable Fuels; Transportation Bureau of Energy Systems

  11. Legislation • The long awaited energy legislation was enacted in by the Legislators and signed by the Governor – Fall 08’ • Renewable Portfolio Standard • Energy Optimization • State Government Energy Efficiency • Wind Energy Resource Zones • Net Metering • Efficiency Tax Credits • Utility Regulation • www.legislature.mi.gov

  12. Legislation • Regulated utility environment, guaranteed market share for DTE & Consumers Energy • Renewable portfolio standards – up to 10% by 2015 • User rates to fund energy efficiency initiatives with Energy Efficiency Target for the utilities • Tax credits for income eligible residents making home energy improvements • Net Metering • 20 kW or less – “true net metering” • Up to 150 kW – “modified net metering” • Up to 550 kW – methane digester

  13. Legislation • American Recovery and Reinvestment Act www.recovery.gov/ • Energy provisions: updates to the Federal financial rescue package – Fall 08’ • www.michigan.gov/documents/dleg/10-29-08_New_legislation_for_EE_and_RE_1013081_254665_7.pdf
