9. What Are the Opportunities?  Efficiency  Wind  Solar (PV & Thermal)  Geothermal (esp. Heat Pumps)  Small Hydro  Financing  Regulation & Policy 26 June 2013Energy and the Economy Summit | L. M. Baer | Economic Opportunity in EE & RE9

10. Efficiency  Colorado’s Feasible Energy Savings 31% feasible savings by 2020 Generate ~12,000 net jobs by 2020  Saves Billions in $ Across State  Saves Billions of Gals. of Water Across State 26 June 2013Energy and the Economy Summit | L. M. Baer | Economic Opportunity in EE & RE10

11. Wind  ~$0.03/kWh  80 m Resource: 387 GW  Current: 1,800 MW  Planned: 16,600 MW  Jobs: ~5,000  Small wind improving 26 June 2013Energy and the Economy Summit | L. M. Baer | Economic Opportunity in EE & RE11

12. Solar Photovoltaic  Adams County 989 MW 1,370 GWh/year ~3% of national 9,500 jobs over 5 years  Statewide 8.8 mil GWh/year ~30% of ALL U.S. energy (rural utility scale) 26 June 2013Energy and the Economy Summit | L. M. Baer | Economic Opportunity in EE & RE12

13. Solar Thermal  5 Times More Efficient Than PV— Do the Math!  1,500 Jobs by 2020  Storage  Works for Ag  Air Ventilation for Poultry and Grain Drying  Propane/Electric: PB ~ 5–7 yrs; ROI ~ 15-20% 26 June 2013Energy and the Economy Summit | L. M. Baer | Economic Opportunity in EE & RE13

14. More Opportunity  Other Techs: Research Your Options! Geothermal: COP ~ 4 (!) Small Hydro: ~ 900 MW potential Biomass: cogen, combined heat and power  Share the Information  Financing: Opportunities for Free Fuel Utilities (OK/NM geo projects) Communities: PBF, PPPs or PACE?  Regulations, Permitting and Zoning 26 June 2013Energy and the Economy Summit | L. M. Baer | Economic Opportunity in EE & RE14

15. Economics of Opportunity  Gross County Product  Real Disposable Personal Income: Spend/Save More  Jobs: Existing Installers Will Hire  Tax Revenues  Utilities (electric and thermal) Reduced generation requirements (esp. peak) Reduced system losses Localized system support Fuel-price certainty Reduced regulatory burden 26 June 2013Energy and the Economy Summit | L.
