  1. Event Location Event Date and Location

  2. Development Issues Energy Project Siting Considerations Tom Graves, Burns & McDonnell

  3. Traditional Generation Options Base Load • Nuclear • Coal Intermediate / Peak Load • Natural Gas Combined Cycle • Natural Gas / Oil Simple Cycle • Natural Gas / Diesel Reciprocating Engines

  4. Base Load Characteristics Nuclear • 10+ year gestation period • High development cost $$$$$ • Massive land (1,000+ acres) Coal • 5-10 year gestation period • High development cost $$$$ • Immense regulatory pressure • Significant land (500-1,000 acres)

  5. Intermediate / Peak Load Characteristics Combined Cycle • 3-4 year gestation period • Moderate development cost $$ • Moderate land (100 acres) Simple Cycle / Reciprocating Engines • 2-3 year gestation period • Low development cost $ • Minimal land (50 acres)

  6. Renewable Technology Options Abundant and viable • Biomass • Solar • Wind Limited capacity and/or technology • Geothermal • Landfill methane • Hydro • Others

  7. Wind Advantages • Small footprint • No emissions • Free fuel • Declining costs • Quick installation • Phased growth

  8. Wind Disadvantages • Doesn’t match load • Transmission • Intermittent resource • Size (40-60 acres / MW) • Environmental impacts • Birds • Noise • Visual

  9. Wind Resources

  10. Solar Advantages • No emissions • Free fuel • Matches load • Quick installation • Easily scalable • Low operational costs • Residential/Commercial • No noise

  11. Solar Disadvantages • Capital intensive • Transmission • Intermittent resource • Weather • Land requirements • Efficiency

  12. Solar Resources

  13. Biomass Advantages • Capacity Value • Easily retrofit • Easily scalable • Familiar operations

  14. Biomass Disadvantages • Emissions • Low heating value • Fuel storage • Cost • Significant off-site impacts

  15. Biomass Resources

  16. Which Option is Best? • Renewable development options are largely dependent upon regional resource availability factors • Traditional generating resources impose fewer restrictions

  17. Considerations for Realigned Bases • Physical space demands • Voltage control on distribution system • Potential need for flexible resources • Plant operation is foreign to bases • Security considerations • Potential flight approach path impacts • Potential LSE standby energy charges • Likely Notice of Availability requirements

  18. Considerations for Closed Bases • Interference with remediation programs • Energy development projects have long gestation periods • Public support often less durable • “Feed-in tariffs” can prop up public support • Nodal pricing changes as the base becomes a net energy exporter
