  1. Enhanced Use Lease:Partnerships in Energy Innovation Dennis S. Guadarrama, P.E. Air Force Real Property Agency 9 June 2010

  2. Agenda • Introduction • Air Force Real Property Agency (AFRPA) • Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) • Renewable Energy Mandates • AF Renewable Energy Requirements • Renewable Energy Opportunities • Energy EUL Program • Projects overview • Questions

  3. Air Force Real Property Agency (AFRPA) • Field operating agency within the office of the Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment and Logistics • Manages the Air Force real property portfolio • Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) • Real Estate Transactions (RET) • Enhanced Use Leases (EUL) • Real Estate • Energy • AFRPA is working with MAJCOMs and Installations, to identify viable, market ready renewable energy opportunities for public-private partnership development • EUL process was developed for this purpose

  4. EUL Defined An EUL is a lease… • By the Government (U.S. Code, Title 10, Section 2667) • Of non-excess real or personal property • Not anticipated to be needed for the duration of the lease, but which the Air Force may need at some future date or needs to retain ownership for a mission-related reason • Under the control of the Government • To a public or private sector Lessee • In exchange for fair market value (cash or in-kind consideration) EULs are opportunities for public-private partnerships

  5. Renewable Energy Mandates • EPACT 2005/EISA 2007: • Renewable energy (RE): defined as electric energy generated from solar, wind, biomass, landfill gas, geothermal, and municipal solid waste • 3% in FY07-09, 5% in FY10-12, 7.5% in FY13 and beyond • E.O. 13423, and now E.O. 13514 (9 Oct 09): • 50% of RE from new sources (in service after 1 Jan 99) • Implement RE generation projects on agency property for agency use to the extent feasible; double credit • NDAA of 2007 goal: total electricity consumed by DOD from RE be equal to or greater than 25% by 2025 • Air Force currently at 5.8% to goal Business drivers for the Air Force renewable energy program

  6. Air Force Renewable Energy Requirements • Annual Air Force facilities power consumption: • 9,000,000 Mega Watt hours/year in 2009 • Nellis AFB Photovoltaic Solar Array: • 14.2MW, produces ~ 28,570 MWh/year • In one year, Air Force facilities consume the equivalent output of ~ 315 Nellis sized PV arrays • To meet 25% mandate by 2025, AF needs to develop the equivalent of ~79 Nellis PV arrays in the next 15 years

  7. Energy EUL Program • Opportunities exist for Air Force to partner with industry • Evaluating all types of Energy EULs (solar, biomass, geothermal, wind, natural gas, waste-to-energy, and coal) • Currently pursuing 5 energy EULs and multiple energy initiatives • Edwards AFB 450 MW PV Solar Array (EUL Phase III) • Hill AFB Natural Gas Co-Generation / WTE (EUL Phase II) • Many more opportunities in pre-feasibility

  8. Edwards AFB solar project • Largest energy EUL project in DoD • Nearly 3,300 acres • Photovoltaic solar • Potential to generate up to 440 MW • Signed Agreement to Lease with Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (Jan 2010) • Construction could begin as early as 2013 Potential • California Renewable Portfolio Standard increased to 33% by 2020 or an equivalent of constructing 40-50 projects similar to the Edwards EUL Edwards AFB, CA

  9. Hill AFB Current & Future • Current Energy Projects • Co-Generation/Waste-to-Energy Facilities – 3 Total Projects – Phase II EUL • Future Projects (Pre-feasibility EULs) • Algae-Based Bio-fuels development • Solar Development on Hill AFB /Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) • Geothermal Exploration on UTTR • 2025 Energy Goals • “Net-Zero” Installation • Self-sustaining capability • 25% of energy from renewables INSERT YOUR IMAGE Project: Renewable Waste-to-Energy EUL, WTE slated for 7-to-30 MW; paired with Cogeneration EUL60 MW

  10. AFRPA Energy EUL Projects AFRPA’s energy EUL portfolio is diversified and growing!

  11. Comparison: EUL v. PPA Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) • Power output sold to third party (typically utility) • Market drives project scope • Example: Edwards AFB photo voltaic Combination EUL and PPA (in development) Power output for on-base use Installation need drives project need Example: Nellis AFB solar project Base partial off-taker; remainder sold commercially Market demand shapes scope Maximum benefit to AF and developer Not viable for all bases

  12. AFRPA Evaluation of Renewable Energy Opportunities • Air Force real property portfolio encompasses 323 Air Force, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve bases • Renewable Energy EULs include: solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, co-generation, landfill gas generation, waste-to-energy, and alternative fuels • JBSA actively pursuing solar opportunities in partnership with CPS Energy Air Force 2025 renewable energy goals will require an investment in excess of $7.9 billion* *Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency
