Renewable Energy: Project Types Solar Wind Biomass Landfill Gas Digester Gas Waste-to- Energy
10
Solar Electric Power Recognizable environmental commitment/reduces carbon footprint Uses local resources, reduces demand for imported fossil fuels (NG, Oil) Solar panels have a 25-year warranty, 35+ year life Solar power provides peak power, offsets most expensive electricity Warranties backed by substantial companies, e.g. BP, Shell, Sharp, Kyocera Low maintenance (~1% total project cost/yr) Available in various configurations (rooftop, parking canopy, ground mount)
11
Solar Power Rule of thumb: 1MW solar power needs 80,000 square feet of roof space Technology improvements – thin film, increased panel efficiency, storage Project costs continue to decline
12
Solar Economic Incentives Federal tax incentives (30% now avail as a grant per ARRA) 5 Year MACRS accelerated depreciation available + 50% Bonus Depreciation (ARRA) California Solar Initiative - SoCal Ed step 5 at 0.15/kwh Some examples of Municipal utility rebates available - Anaheim: $2.80/watt AC or $.39/kwh - LA DWP: upfront 20yr payment $.11- $.14/kwh.( Equiv. of $4.50/watt AC) - Glendale: 4 year PBI $.49/kwh - Pasadena: 5 year PBI ($.553 - $.632/kwh) Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) As a tax-exempt institution, you can not monetize most incentives …unless you go with a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Financial Options for Solar-Tax Exempt Entity PurchaseCapital LeasePPA Upfront Cash Outlay √ xx Monetize Federal Tax Incentives xx √ Monetize Accelerated Depreciation xx √ Maintain Equipment x √ x Contract Term x 10-15 years15-20 years Ownership √√ Buyout available after 7 yrs. REC Ownership √√ maybe
14
Benefits of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Allows tax-exempt institutions to monetize tax credits and depreciation Green power for less cost than “brown power” Fixed price hedge against significant utility cost increases All the benefits of solar power without the hassles of ownership No capital required No complicated rebates and tax credits to manage No maintenance and repair responsibilities Highly visible solar project drives green marketing Solar power reduces fuel price volatility impact on electric costs
15
PPA Model Host Customer Project Developer SIEMENS Manufacturer& Installer Investor Purchases electricity services at a fixed price schedule Provides legal access to facility No capital requirement Receives revenue from sale of panels, inverters Provides warranties for equipment and performance Receives low risk ROI from electricity sales, state & federal incentives Provides capital and owns equipment Arranges financing, system design and construction On-site solar PV system 15-20 Solar Services Agreement Equipment, installation, & warranties Sales and O&M revenues Financing Solar Services

1.16 MW Solar PV Project
17
Case Study: Solar Energy Installation Siemens Transportation Services Sacramento, CA Key Challenges Need for additional parking to accommodate growth Support corporate-wide sustainability initiatives Address need for greater predictability in energy pricing Solution 180 new parking stalls Expedited permitting process with solar component 1 MW solar project; over 5,000 panels, supplying ~50% of building load Weekend generation sold back to electricity grid Prevents over 700 tons of CO 2 annually

Siemens/ Shaw Waste to Steam Plant
19
Carpet and wood to energy – Project has been completely operational for 2 years on July 1 – 10,000 tpy of both carpet edge trim and wood waste are shredded and gasified to produce 50,000 pph of steam – Carpet plant has the lowest energy cost of all Shaw carpet plants – Two people per shift operate and provide day to day maintenance – Plant has 85% uptime – Plant utilizes almost 80% of waste
