5 Lay the groundwork for wide-spread adoption of codes and standards to drive private-sector demand for energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies; Develop and market financing opportunities to spur the production of and demand for energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies; Garner support for EERE technology development by reinforcing the link between clean energy technology deployment and economic development; and Communicate the availability of new products developed by EERE R&D Through its existing network of state, territory, county, city, tribal, stakeholder and private-sector partnerships, WIP is uniquely positioned within EERE to: WIP’s Network Involvement Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

6 To date, WAP has weatherized over 650,000 HOMES including nearly… 165,000 MULTI-FAMILY UNITS WAP ranks 2 nd IN JOB CREATION as reported on Recovery.gov Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) Performance Under the Recovery Act Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program In quarter four of 2011, WAP supported 13,230 jobs. Nationwide, the weatherization of 650,000 homes is estimated to save $350 million in energy costs in just the first year. Approximately 32,000 homes were weatherized in the final month of 2011 alone. This is the highest month of production using Recovery Act funds.

7 State Energy Program (SEP) Recovery Act Funding: Nearly $3.1B to 56 states and territories – $760 million planned for efficiency, renewable and clean energy manufacturing financing programs – $1.5 billion for buildings retrofits Recovery Act Performance Spending (As of February 21, 2011): 38 of 56 states and territories are 70% spent as of February 21, 2012 Jobs (As of December 31, 2012): The SEP is currently #14 among job-creating and retaining Recovery Act programs Over 4,427 jobs created or retained in (Oct-Dec 2011) - includes only direct jobs Highlights (As of December 31, 2012): Contributed to the increased energy efficiency of nearly 75,000 buildings Supported the installation of nearly 99,000 kW of renewable energy systems. Supported the installation of over 4,500 energy efficient streetlights and 21,000 energy efficient traffic signals. Educated over 200,000 people in performing energy audits and upgrades and contributing to the installation of renewable energy systems. Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

8 Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program Recovery Act Funding: $3.2 billion total – $2.7 billion to Formula Grants Golden, Oak Ridge, LVSO, Golden Tribal – $456 million to Competitive Grants Better Buildings Neighborhood Program Recovery Act Performance Spending (as of February 20, 2012): Total Cumulative Payments: $1.9 billion Total Formula Payments: $1.8 billion Jobs (as of December 31, 2011): EECBG is currently one of top 10 job-creating and retaining Recovery Act programs Over 4,763 jobs created or retained in (Oct-Dec 2011) - includes only direct jobs Highlights (as of December 31, 2011): Contributed to increased energy efficiency of nearly 45,000 buildings, covering a total area of over 366 million square feet (roughly the equivalent of 183,000 single family homes). Supported the installation of 6,442 Solar Energy systems, with a total capacity of 148,197 kW. Supported the installation of over 242,000 Energy Efficient Traffic Signals (1.3x more traffic signals than the entire City of Los Angeles). Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

I will not walk away from workers … I will not cede the wind or solar or battery industry … It’s time … to double down on a clean energy industry that has never been more promising.” - President Obama, State of the Union, 24 January 2012 Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

11 WAP: 54 of the 58 grantees requested a period of performance modification ranging from 3 to 18 months. 96% of the requests have been reviewed and approved. SEP: 40 of 56 SEP grantees requested modifications. All have been reviewed and 39 have been approved thus far. 1 is still under consideration pending additional information. EECBG: To date, 8 grantees, including 5 states have requested modifications. For non-State/Territory recipients – If a grantee requests a modification, their request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

12 Under the Recovery Act, DOE invested nearly $139 million in Training and Technical Assistance to lay the foundation for high quality energy upgrades in America’s homes. The Guidelines for Home Energy Professionals The WAP Standardized Training Curriculum Training Center Grants National Weatherization Training Portal Multifamily Suite of Resources Weatherization Plus Health Initiative The Weatherization Plus 2015 Initiative is an expanded focus on whole-house energy usage and whole-community efforts. WAP intends to revive the initiative started in 1999 and carried through mid-2006 with strategic planning efforts to reach the goals of four subcommittees: Leverage assistance Developing new markets Improving quality Messaging of program WAP Investing in the Future Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

13 Weatherization: The Roots of the Home Energy Performance Industry Continued funding gives WAP the ability to take on long term projects and partnerships that support the entire industry Audit Tools Lab Research Building Science Case Studies Training Network Coordination with Federal agencies: HUD, EPA, USDA Leveraging WAP funding has long been a catalyst for leveraging additional weatherization funds for grantees. This consistent resource allows other opportunities to grow In PY2010 WAP was expected to leverage approximately $4.45 in federal and non-federal resources for every $1 invested by DOE (source NASCSP)

14 Policy and Technical Assistance Post-Recovery Act Continued Focus: drive market transformation in energy efficiency and renewable energy while creating jobs and economic development Seeking input to help shape WIP’s new policy and technical assistance platform Coordinating with state and local governments after the end of the Recovery Act. Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

15 Looking Ahead – Post Recovery Act Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program Federal dollars will lessen post-ARRA…but the mission continues! The Recovery Act laid the groundwork for the next phase of investment. The source of future investment will largely come from the financial communities and leveraging will be vital. Energy efficiency is a top priority energy resource Savings, Jobs, Competiveness, Economy, Environment Leverage ARRA Continued Progress Growing Partnerships Growing the energy efficiency industry
