  1. AETC Energy Program Energy Independence & Security Roadmap Col Scott Hartford, P.E. HQ AETC/A7CO

  2. Overview • Background • AETC Strategic Energy Vision • Where We’ve Been • Where We Are • Where We’re Going • Strategy & Execution

  3. BackgroundFederal Energy Goals • Energy Consumption • Reduce energy intensity 3% annually thru 2015 (2003 baseline) • Water Consumption • Reduce water use 2% annually thru 2015 (2007 baseline) • Facility Metering • Electric meters on >35 KSF facilities by 2012 • Natural Gas & Steam meters on >50 KSF facilities by 2016 • Renewable Energy • 3% per year of electricity purchases (FY07-09) • 5% per year of electricity purchases (FY10-12) • 7.5% per year of electricity purchases (FY13+)….25% by 2025 • AF Goal: 1% on-base generation by 2012; 3% by 2015 • Where economically feasible and technically practicable

  4. BackgroundDefense Science Board (Feb 08) Key Findings: • DoD has unacceptably high/growing battlespace fuel demand • Compromises operational capability & mission success • Complete dependence of fixed installations on grid • Commercial grids fragile & vulnerable • Unacceptable risk to military & Homeland defense missions Key Recommendations: • Take steps to reduce the risk to critical missions at fixed installations from loss of commercial power and other critical national infrastructure. • Invest in energy efficient and alternative energy technologies to a level commensurate with their operational and financial value.

  5. AETC Strategic Energy VisionThe Big Picture “Make AETC the Air Force benchmark in energy efficiency and use of alternative energy”. • Leverage AETC’s unique position as the First Command • Involve schoolhouses to infuse awareness culture in all Airmen… ”Energy a consideration in all we do” • Partner with utility companies & government officials • Demonstrate and insert new technologies • Improve critical infrastructure security & mission continuity • Reduce carbon footprint of AETC installations • Beat Emerging DoD Goals for “Net-Zero” Installations

  6. Strategic Energy VisionThe End State • 100% On-Base Energy Generation Capability • 100% Use of Renewable Energy Sources • Wind, Solar, Biomass, Geo-Thermal, Hydro, Nuclear • Clean energy technologies • Stable & predictable commodity cost profile (zero volatility) • Safe, Secure Energy Distribution Grid • Smart-Grid/Micro-Grid technologies • Intelligent, “learning” grid control logic • Autonomous plug & play of distributed generation sources • Ability to “island” the base grid from commercial power • Mission Alignment • National: Reduced dependence on foreign oil / gas • DoD: Continuity of Mission Operations (DSB study) • AETC: World-Class Military Installations

  7. Where We’ve Been (1975 – 2005) • Energy Conservation • Reduced Footprint • BRAC – Closure of Reese, Mather, Chanute, Williams AFBs • Upgraded Infrastructure & Facilities • Legislative authorities for 3rd Party Financing • Installed Energy Monitoring & Control Systems • Installed Energy Star Appliances • Modified processes & behavior • Instituted “No heat / no cool” periods in spring & fall • Reduced lighting & HVAC use after hours • Recognized Conservation – Awards programs Reduced energy intensity 40% since ‘85 - 1st in AF

  8. Where We Are (2005 – 2015) • Improving Infrastructure • Reducing infrastructure (“20% by 2020”) • Upgrading HVAC systems • “Energy Hog” HVAC Re-Commissioning • A/C Centralization; Heat Plant De-Centralization • Thermal Energy Storage Systems • Ground-Source Heat Pumps • Paint Hangar Recirculation • Hangar Infrared Heating • Installing LED lighting – Airfield & Street Lights • Implementing water conservation measures • Designing into MILCON -- LEED “Silver” Certification • Executing Building Envelope Upgrades

  9. Where We Are (2005 – 2015) • Improving Infrastructure • Improving Energy Acquisition & Management • Resource Efficiency Managers (REM) • Retail Electric Provider (REP) – Champion Energy Corp. • Smart Metering & Expanding EMCS systems (dynamic demand response) • Fostering Relationships with Industry • Green Power Purchases • Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) • AETC Energy Awareness Campaign • Monthly CV reports to NAFs, Wings • Energy Incentive Award Competition • Monthly PA Articles; Bi-Monthly Newsletter • Energy Governance & Strategic Plans • Executing HAF $250M/year program • Reduced energy intensity 9% to date from ’03 baseline

  10. Where We Are Current Peak Energy Use by Base Maxwell/ Gunter Lackland Keesler Tyndall Sheppard

  11. Where We Are Renewable Energy • Altus AFB: Green Power Purchase, Wind (30% of demand) • ECD: Complete (May 10) • Laughlin AFB: Green Power Purchase -- Corpus Christi Bay • 4 MW Wind Turbines • ECD: 2QFY11 • Sheppard AFB: Green Power Purchases • 3 MW on-base solar array in development • 10 MW off-base wind purchase; ECD: May 10 • Luke AFB: Power Purchase Agreement • 15 MW on-base solar array via Arizona Power • ESD: Oct 10; ECD: Sep 11 • Goodfellow / Eldorado Pave Paws Solar Array • Wind Turbines – test stations to be installed May 10 • 5 MW off-base wind purchase; ECD: May 10 Briefer: Col Scott Hartford, A7CO

  12. Luke AFB Solar Array 15 Megawatts Briefer: Col Scott Hartford, A7CO

  13. Where We’re Going2015-2050 265 MW (Current Peak Load) Milestone #3 (2035 – 65%) Milestone #2 (2025 – 25%) Milestone #1 (2015 – 12%) Milestone #4 (2050 – 100%) DoD Goal = 25% RE by 2025 (66 MW) Including Off-Base + RECs AF Goal = 3% On-Base RE by 2015 (8 MW)

  14. Where We’re Going (2015-2025) • On-Base Renewable Generation • Assess regulatory & RE resource environment • Fed & State Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) • Tax Credits, Rebates, Incentives • Develop “Net Zero” plan for each AETC base • Master planning & environmental impact analysis • Concept designs for RE resource development (wind, solar, etc.) • Develop Energy Surety MicroGrid (ESM) plans • Determine critical mission load requirements • Partner w/ Sandia Nat’l Labs on design • Develop and Execute Command Priorities • Milestone #1 -- 30 MW by 2015 (12%) • Milestone #2 -- 66 MW by 2025 (25%) • Critical infrastructure / missions secured

  16. Where We’re Going (2025-2050) • Independence & Security • Expand RE resource development • Monitor/Incorporate new technologies • Improved solar efficiency solar; integrated solar roofing material • Smaller, more distributed wind power • Improved efficiency ground source heat pumps (all facilities) • Improved water & solid waste recovery/reuse technologies • Enhanced/expanded smart grids…autonomous / adaptive / learning • Monitor/Incorporate new regulations • More stringent RE portfolio standards = motivation for 3rd party deals • Milestone #3 -- 150 MW by 2035 (65%) • Milestone #4 -- 200 MW by 2050 (100%) • All infrastructure / missions secured

  17. Strategy & Execution • Execution Methods (Projects) • Self Fund: MILCON, ECIP, SRM • 3rd Party Financing: ESPC / UESC contracts • Power Purchase Agreement – utility/AF RE project • Enhanced Use Lease – developer/AF RE project • Purchase Programs (Non-Projects) • Green Power Purchase – existing utility RE programs • Renewable Energy Certificates (open market) We can’t do it alone…need 3rd party financing, PPAs, & EULs
