Alliance Associate Schneider Electric hosted Alliance President Kateri Callahan at its North America Leadership Forum, where Callahan discussed opportunities and obstacles in the energy efficiency movement in 2010 and beyond.
Looking Ahead: 2010 and Beyond – The Decade of Energy Efficiency
1. Kateri Callahan, President Alliance to Save Energy Schneider Electric North America Leadership Forum January 27, 2010 Looking Ahead: 2010 and Beyond The Decade of Energy Efficiency
2. Presentation Overview A few words about the Alliance Why energy efficiency? Why Now? Policy required to deploy energy efficiency at scale Kateri’s “Crystal Ball”: Forecasting future federal policy action on EE
19. Source: McKinsey Global Institute Efficiency: Enormous Potential for Savings in ALL Sectors…
20. Energy efficiency should be fully considered in GHG reductions. All items to the left of the arrow represent “negative marginal costs” And: A No-Cost Way to Reduce GHG Emissions
21. Many “Non-Price” Barriers Energy Subsidies Uncertain costs? Externalities Choices SPLIT INCENTIVES Lock-in Small savings Bounded Rationality Information
34. 12 months later – Opening the Decade of Energy Efficiency January 2009 October November December October November December June June July May May May Executive Order on federal energy use House Passes $75 Billion “Jobs for Main Street” bill Stimulus package American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) Ongoing approps in House/Senate climate/energy bills HVAC standards agreement President’s Fiscal Year 2010 budget HOUSEPASSES ACES (6/26) COP15: Secretary Chu announces Climate REDI Program Outdoor Lighting standards President’s new CAFÉ standards DOE: new lighting standards Bilateral agreement: U.S.-China Energy Efficiency Action Plan
53. Requires that 95% of all applicable procurement contracts will meet sustainability requirements
54. Requires 15% of buildings meet the Guiding Principles for High Performance and Sustainable Buildings by 2015
55. Design all new Federal buildings which begin the planning process by 2020 to achieve zero-net energy by 2030 Executive Order 135814:Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance October 5, 2009: President Obama signs EO 13514 For more information: www.femp.energy.gov 6
56. NZE: Commercial Buildings Consortium (CBC) Goals: 2030: New construction net-zero energy (NZE) 2050: Entire stock NZE Comprehensive approach (R&D & deployment) Coordinate (initiate) national and local actions Measure, benchmark, disclose energy performance R&D for critical technologies and systems Demonstrate scalable, replicable system solutions Transform market: education/training, finance, appraisal, incentives, codes, buyer demand-pull Funding from Omnibus 2009 Appropriations bill: $33 million to initiate Plus about $50 million from ARRA (stimulus) funds
57. Up Next???Climate & Clean Energy Bill Senate Has Adopted Energy “Piece” Will consider climate “Piece” in early 2010?? House Adopted Climate & Energy bill in June Additional Support for Energy Efficiency in legislation Significant Funding through CO2 Allowances (House bill) Building Labeling Programs (both) Utility Energy Efficiency Resource Standards (both) Innovative Finance Programs (both) Appliance Standards (both) And much more…..
63. Jobs Bill Overview Narrowly passed in House (Dec. 2009) Of $75 billion: $27.5B towards highway infrastructure $8.4B for public transportation ($.8B Amtrak) $2B for DOE Loan Guarantees – EE Included $750M – job training for high growth fields Also includes: Small business loans Moving targets: 2 key proposals HOME STAR Building STAR
64. HOME STAR (“Cash for Caulkers”) Recommended by PERAB $7 -10 billion for residential retrofits Two types of consumer incentives: SILVER STAR Prescriptive Path: $5.5 billion Rebates for specific energy saving investments 50% of project cost, up to $3,000 per home Covered measures: air & duct sealing; insulation; window and door replacement; HVAC, water heater, and appliance upgrades GOLD STAR Performance Path: $2.3 – 3 billion Rebates for demonstrated energy savings $3,000 for 20% savings, plus $1,500 for each additional 5% Up to 50% of project cost and $12,000 Proposal likely to include a financing component
65. Building STAR Commercial Buildings counterpart to HOME STAR ~$8 billion for commercial, industrial and multi-family building retrofits Two types of consumer incentives: Rebates Like SILVER STAR, for specific energy saving investments Covered measures: SILVER STAR measures plus low-slope roofing, variable speed motors, lighting, water efficiency, energy management and training Tax Incentive Expansions Prescriptive and performance pathways in existing code Increase incentives for buildings demonstrating energy savings 50% above code for lighting, envelope, HVAC Expand other tax incentives: refundable tax credits to certain entities, technology specific incentives (variable speed drives, mechanical insulation)
66. Kateri’s Crystal Ball:U.S. Energy Efficiency Policy in 2010 Clean Energy Legislation w/ Strong EE Building Codes Appliance Standards Innovative Financing Mechanisms Significant Funding from Allowances New Jobs Bill Loan Guarantees Workforce Training Federal Transit & Fixed Guideways Home Star??? Residential Retrofit Building Star??? Residential Retrofit Stagnant FY 2011 Appropriations International Accords & Binding International Climate Treaties???
