The Western Renewable Energy Zone Initiative: Phase 1 Dr. David Hurlbut Senior Analyst November 20, 2009 NREL is a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy operated by the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC

WREZ work phases Phase 1: Identify renewable energy zones (REZs), estimate quantity of REZ resources, estimate busbar cost of REZ resources Phase 2: Develop modeling tool to estimate delivered cost of energy from any REZ to any major load center in the West; submit scenarios to WECC for detailed study Phase 3: Assist load-serving entities (LSEs) in coordinating renewable energy procurement plans and new transmission needs Phase 4: Institution-building

Progression toward REZs All renewable resources (primarily based on NREL global assessments) Candidate Study Areas (eliminate least competitive resources) Qualified Resource Areas (best of the best in each state, after exclusions) Renewable Energy Zones
