4. DOE’s Weatherization & Intergovernmental Program (WIP) • WIP Sub-programs serve to: • Effectively leverage federal funds; • Engage communities in economic development opportunities via clean energy deployment; and • Provide a path toward a secure energy future. Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

5. WIP’s Network Involvement Through its existing network of state, territory, county, city, tribal, stakeholder and private-sector partnerships, WIP is uniquely positioned within EERE to: Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

6. Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) Performance Underthe Recovery Act To date, WAP has weatherized over 650,000 HOMES including nearly… 165,000 MULTI-FAMILY UNITS WAP ranks 2nd IN JOB CREATION as reported on Recovery.gov Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

7. State Energy Program (SEP) Recovery Act Funding: Nearly $3.1B to 56 states and territories $760 million planned for efficiency, renewable and clean energy manufacturing financing programs $1.5 billion for buildings retrofits • Recovery Act Performance • Spending (As of February 21, 2011): • 38 of 56 states and territories are 70% spent as of February 21, 2012 • Jobs (As of December 31, 2012): • The SEP is currently #14 among job-creating and retaining Recovery Act programs • Over 4,427 jobs created or retained in (Oct-Dec 2011) - includes only direct jobs • Highlights (As of December 31, 2012): • Contributed to the increased energy efficiency of nearly 75,000 buildings • Supported the installation of nearly 99,000 kW of renewable energy systems. • Supported the installation of over 4,500 energy efficient streetlights and 21,000energy efficient traffic signals. • Educated over 200,000 people in performing energy audits and upgrades and contributing to the installation of renewable energy systems.

9. WAP Financial Report Recovery Act Allocation Regular Appropriations As of February 28, 2012 Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

10. FY12 & FY13 Funding “… I will not walk away from the promise of clean energy. I will not walk away from workers … I will not cede the wind or solar or battery industry … It’s time … to double down on a clean energy industry that has never been more promising.” - President Obama, State of the Union, 24 January 2012 Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

11. Period of Performance ModificationsSEP, EECBG, WAP ARRA Grants WAP: 54 of the 58 grantees requesteda period of performance modification ranging from 3 to 18 months. 96% of the requests have been reviewed and approved. SEP:40of 56 SEP grantees requested modifications. All have been reviewed and 39 have been approved thus far. 1 is still under consideration pending additional information. EECBG: To date, 8 grantees, including 5 states have requested modifications. For non-State/Territory recipients – If a grantee requests a modification, their request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

12. WAP Investing in the Future • Under the Recovery Act, DOE invested nearly $139 millionin Training and Technical Assistance to lay the foundation for high quality energy upgrades in America’s homes. • The Guidelines for Home Energy Professionals • The WAP Standardized Training Curriculum • Training Center Grants • National Weatherization Training Portal • Multifamily Suite of Resources • Weatherization Plus Health Initiative • The Weatherization Plus 2015 Initiative is an expanded focus on whole-house energy usage and whole-community efforts. • WAP intends to revive the initiative started in 1999 and carried through mid-2006 with strategic planning efforts to reach the goals of four subcommittees: • Leverage assistance • Developing new markets • Improving quality • Messaging of program Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

13. Weatherization: The Roots of the Home Energy Performance Industry Continued funding gives WAP the ability to take on long term projects and partnerships that support the entire industry • Audit Tools • Lab Research • Building Science Case Studies • Training Network • Coordination with Federal agencies: HUD, EPA, USDA Leveraging WAP funding has long been a catalystfor leveraging additional weatherization funds for grantees. • This consistent resource allows other opportunities to grow • In PY2010 WAP was expected to leverage approximately $4.45 in federal and non-federal resources for every $1 invested by DOE (source NASCSP)

14. Policy and Technical Assistance Post-Recovery Act Continued Focus: drive market transformation in energy efficiency and renewable energy while creating jobs and economic development  Seeking input to help shape WIP’s new policy and technical assistance platform Coordinating with state and local governments after the end of the Recovery Act. Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

15. Looking Ahead – Post Recovery Act Energy efficiency is a top priority energy resource Savings, Jobs, Competiveness, Economy, Environment Federal dollars will lessen post-ARRA…but the mission continues!The Recovery Act laid the groundwork for the next phase of investment. The source of future investment will largely come from the financial communities and leveraging will be vital. • Leverage ARRA • Continued Progress • Growing Partnerships Growing the energy efficiency industry Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program
