  1. Jen Banksjenb@secoastalwind.org NC Sustainable Energy Conference Apr 23, 2014 | Raleigh, NC

  2. U.S. Wind Energy Share of Electricity by State Over 61,000 MW cumulative capacity at end of 2013 Source: AWEA 2013 Annual Market Report

  3. Why the Southeast?

  4. SE has Big Electricity Markets 2011 Electricity Sales for Coastal States

  5. Offshore Wind Cost vs. EIA Benchmark 15% higher Potential RESOURCE Estimated COST 15% lower Lowest Cost states on the East Coast and in the U.S. (incl. #2 TX) Source: U.S. Energy information Administration, Apr 2013

  6. Land Based Wind NOW: Projects “construction ready” & under development NEXT: MUCH more development is viable with taller towers & longer blades Newly viable areas if tower height increases from 96m to 110m Source: U.S. Department of Energy

  7. Source: AWEA 2013 Annual Market Report

  8. Offshore Wind Energy:75.8% Support15.1% Oppose9.1% Unsure/no answer Why NC? 2013 Public Opinion Survey (commissioned by NCSEA): Land-Based Wind Energy:80.9% Support13.1% Oppose6.0% Unsure/no answer Manufacturing in NC

  9. SE Supply Chain Project Database Land-based/offshore companies Current/potential suppliers Online Interface Searchable map Company survey available May 2014

  10. DOE Regional Resource Centers • PURPOSE of RRCs • Deliver fact-based, unbiased, relevant, and actionable information. • Expand or preserve access to quality wind resources, both onshore and offshore. • Improve predictability of wind deployment decisions.

  11. DOE Southeastern RRC • Stakeholder engagement • Land-based utility scale wind • Land-based distributed wind • Offshore wind • Affiliate network • High priority • Coastal land-based wind • Wind Imports • Offshore wind

  12. Southeastern RRC State Activities Proposed NC activities Engage military and provide information on mitigation measures in order to preserve quality wind sites. Engage with BOEM on US Coast Guard actions to preserve quality offshore wind sites. Support to continue Wind Working Group
