2. Federal Energy Management Program BLM Assessment of RE Power Potential on Western US Lands BLM/NREL Partnership formed Aug 2001 –Lee Otteni, RE Program Mgr – WO Detail –Mike Kirby, Assoc Director, NSTC NREL tasked to conduct RE assessment to identify high potential for CSP, PV, Wind, Biomass, and Geothermal in Western US- Jan 02 FEMP provides NREL funding for BLM effort BLM/NREL use GIS to identify BLM Planning units for high potential for RE power production NREL/BLM/Industry develop screening criteria

3. Federal Energy Management Program BLM Assessment of RE Power Potential on Western US Lands NREL Technologists apply rules for high potential opportunities to GIS maps w/screening applied for CSP, PV, Wind, Biomass BLM/NREL team identify top pick KGRAs for near term Geothermal development Analysis results in top 25 planning units (of 116) for CSP, PV, Wind, Biomass 35 Geothermal Top Pick KGRA identified Draft Report posted on BLM Home Page for 60 day comment period – 5/13/02 30 comments received - all support BLM effort

4. Federal Energy Management Program BLM Assessment of RE Power Potential on Western US Lands Draft Report still available for review at: http://www.nrel.gov/femp/news.html Final Report with CD - GIS data, GIS maps (.ppt files), Planning Unit tables (.xls files) – Oct 02 Initial BLM objective to assist in prioritizing inclusion of RE in Land Use Plan revisions Surprising outcome of very high wind industry interest in BLM lands since draft report issued
