  2. Community Energy Strategic Planning The Context Worldwide energy use grew five-fold 1950-2000 and is expected to double again by 2030, straining supplies, prices, and delivery systems $1.205 trillion is spent on energy in the U.S. annually1 Our households and businesses spend 10-50% of income on energy Government agencies spend more than $10 billion annually on energy to provide public services Energy efficiency has the potential to save 23% of energy demandthrough cost-effective measures2

  3. Efficiency Potential in 2020 by Economic Sector

  4. Community Energy Strategic Planning The Problem Opportunities to save energy and money are going untapped by governments, businesses, and households Incomplete assessment of current energy use and supply hinders ability to make informed decisions Reactive approach to energy challenges wastes valuable resources Lack of clear energy vision and direction hinders certainty needed for businesses to optimize investments

  5. Community Energy Strategic Planning The Solution: Proactively Planning for Our Energy Future Reveals energy and cost-saving options, saving taxpayers, businesses, and residents money Allows for great influence over energy facility siting Articulates community vision for others to invest in Provides defined guidance through a specific action plan

  6. What is a CESP? Community Energy Strategic Planning • A business plan to optimize the use and supply of energy throughout the community • A roadmap to meet short- and long-term energy-related goals • A plan to manage energy resources and consumption • A plan to prioritize actions, implement changes, and measure results • A comprehensive look at how energy is being used and opportunities for improvement

  7. Developing a CESP can help … Community Energy Strategic Planning • Save money • Create local jobs • Strengthen economic development • Ensure energy reliability • Demonstrate leadership • Optimize infrastructure costs • Promote local resources • Leverage greater regional collaboration • Minimize environmental impacts

  8. Common Elements of a CESP Community Energy Strategic Planning Energy efficient buildings Renewable energy sources Transportation planning Fuel efficiency of fleet Public infrastructure savings Financing strategies Policy, codes, and regulations Education and outreach

  9. What are Other Communities Doing?

  10. Community Energy Strategic Planning Example: Arlington, Virginia

  11. Case Example: Arlington Community Energy Plan Goals for Plan Ensure economic competitiveness Provide energy supply security Protect the environment Focus Areas Buildings District Energy Renewable Energy Transportation Public Enabling Strategies

  12. Each dollar the County invests in energy efficiency projects returns about 20¢ per year in reduced operating costs.* Case Example: Arlington Community Energy Plan Achievements * Source: AIRE Community Energy Plan website: http://freshaireva.us/2012/04/energyplan/

  13. Community Energy Strategic Planning Example: Chicago, Illinois

  14. Case Example: Chicago Climate Action Plan Plan Goals Reduce energy costs to city buildings, residents, and businesses Create 5,000 to 10,000 jobs by redirecting household savings from energy consumption costs Cut GHG emissions from city operations to 25% below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 Focus Areas Energy efficient buildings Clean & renewable energy sources Improved transportation options Reduces waste & industrial pollution Adaptation

  15. Achievements Reduced 1.2 MMTCO2e, in the first 2 years, 8% of 2020 goal* Case Example: Chicago Climate Action Plan * Source: Chicago Climate Action Plan – Progress Report – First Two Years (2008-2009) www.chicagoclimateaction.org/filebin/pdf/CCAPProgressReportv3.pdf

  16. Community Energy Strategic Planning Example: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

  17. Case Example: Pittsburgh’s Climate Action Plan Goals Accelerate opportunities for economic development within Pittsburgh Reduce energy consumption and produce cost savings Enhance Pittsburgh’s reputation Focus Areas Energy reduction Recycling and waste management Transportation Green building practices Engagement & education

  18. * Pittsburgh resides in an deregulated electricity market and can negotiate rates. Local governments in regulated markets do have the right to negotiate rates with their utility, and may partner with neighboring governments to increase their purchasing leverage. Achievements Case Example: Pittsburgh’s Climate Action Plan

  19. Community Energy Strategic Planning Why Now? (Content will vary, depending on audience) Start saving taxpayers, businesses, and residents money as soon as possible Continue momentum of EECBG investments Seize opportunity to demonstrate leadership Leverage current community support for effort

  20. Typical CESP Timeline Project start Formulate goals and strategies Draft implementation blueprint and monitoring plan Recruit leadership team Identify and prioritize actions Draft vision statement Plan finalized, adopted, and publicized Promote effort to stakeholders and secure commitment Develop financing strategy Assess energy profile Program evaluation and plan revision Month 1-2 5-6 7-8 12–24 3-4

  21. Options to Consider (Presenter to propose suggestions on the following) Government operations v. community-wide scope Ideas for plan integration with other efforts Proposed budget for plan development Leadership team suggestions

  22. Community Energy Strategic Planning Request for Today (Content will vary, depending on audience) Express your support for our community to develop a CESP Consider serving as member of the leadership team Communicate your support and willingness to others Dedicate resources to the effort

  23. Community Energy Strategic Planning Let’s Get To Work Next Steps Executive sponsorship Appoint Plan Manager Assemble Leadership Team Stakeholder engagement Develop plan Implement plan Enjoy the benefits Celebrate our success
