  1. Renewables + Resilience National League of Cities: Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Steering Committee Meeting Eliza Hotchkiss, NREL September 5th, 2014

  2. Introduction

  3. Integrated Approach

  4. Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) RPS is a regulation that requires the increased production of energy from renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, biomass, geothermal, wind).

  5. RPS Policy Analysis 29 states,+ Washington DC and 2 territories,have Renewable Portfolio Standards (8 states and 2 territories have renewable portfolio goals). www.dsireusa.org

  12. Why all the Resilience Buzz? A secure and resilient Nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk. - FEMA, National Preparedness Goal (2011)

  13. What is Resilience? … the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and re-organize while undergoing change so as to still retain essentially the same function, structure, and identity… Source: www.energy-reality.org/art/

  14. Resilience and Renewables • New Jersey RPS • 20.38% Class I and Class II renewables by 2020-2021 • + 4.1% solar-electric by 2027-2028 • New Jersey was 2nd in the nation for solar PV installations • Only 2 PV systems were known to have operated during/after Hurricane Sandy William Paterson University, NJ SOURCE: www.onlinetes.com

  15. Resilience and Renewables • Metering policies • Grid controls • FEMA • State Agencies: • DEP • OEM • GORR • NJ BPU Bayonne School, NJ operated as a shelter during Hurricane SandySource: E. Hotchkiss, NREL

  16. Resilience and Renewables • Defined critical infrastructure • Identified energy loads • Reviewed resources for solar, wind, methane capture, etc. • Summarized technologies by building activity Sayreville Pumping Station Source: E. Hotchkiss, NREL

  17. Resilience and Renewables • Reviewing policies • Resilience Bank

  18. What Can YOU Do? • Share experiences • Learn from others’ experiences • Review policies • Conduct analyses • PLAN to use renewable energy to achieve resilience
