The Challenge The Opportunities

• 2008 Maryland updated its Renewable Portfolio
  Standard (RPS)
• 20 by 2022
• Reaching this goal is a challenge but solution
  will necessitate economic development
  opportunities.

3
A closer look

• Estimated electricity demand by 2010 is thought
  to be
• 70,000,000 MWh 8000 MW
• 20 1600 MW.
• Assume average turbine is 2.5 MW 640 turbine
  (if 100 utilized)
• Wind is intermittent assume capacity _at_ 30
  2130 turbines
• or 66,000 acres of solar panel
• How are we to achieve this? And what are the
  economic development significances?

4
We need all technologies

• Solar
• Geothermal
• Biomass
• Wind
• Ocean Energy including wind
• Plus
• Energy storage
• Distribution

5
Economic Development Significances

• Investment and job creation
• National ranking
• Biomass
• Wind 85,000 for US in 2008
• Geothermal
• Solar

CEEDIs Strategy

• A coordinated clean energy economic development
  plan that targets and attracts clean energy
  companies (energy generators, developers,
  component and supply chain manufactures), to
  Maryland with the result in job growth.

7
Strategy Outline Phase 1
Outreach to US clean energy companies that i)
seek east coast presence or ii) foreign
companies seeking entry to the North American
Market
RETECH Feb 24-27
European Wind Energy Conference March 16-19

• MD with raised profile by
• One of 7 states participating in the economic
  development panel

MD with raised profile with side event -
Maryland the Gateway to Obama's Stimulus
Package and the North American Wind Energy
Market .
8
Strategy Outline Phase 2
Use outreach to inform prospects about the State
and use in-state events to attract prospects to
visit the state

• Proximity to DC and Fed agencies
• Access to NW corridor with population of 134
  million
• Skills
• Advanced Tech businesses
• Excellent schools, colleges and universities
• Highly educated and trained workforce
• Infrastructure
• Port, rail, road and air

Phase I Highlighting the Gaps to be filled

• Abundant demand for residential solar and growing
  mid-size solar
• Potential of utility scale solar
• Imminent generation of on-shore commercial scale
  wind
• Abundant off-shore wind potential
• Untapped biomass

Interest Generated

• Possibly a delegation of Australian Clean Energy
  companies visiting MD in May
• A small European Wind turbine producer looking
  for US manufacturing facility
• A Canadian battery cell producer considering
  manufacturing in Maryland for US market
• A Finnish ethanol producer to use MD as a gate
  way to introduce its technology to the US market
• Interest from Spanish wind turbine blade producer
  to use Maryland as its North American
  manufacturing site 200 people in 2010 and
  additional 400 within 18 months. Incentives
  beyond s a site, skilled workforce and
  experience with composites.

20
Coordinating the effort

• MD has a cross-agency greenEr jobs initiative
  in which many play an active role

Follow-on Activities

• Reduced Barriers MEA / UMD / DGS has an RFP
  issued to purchase locally generated clean
  energy with a Power Purchase Agreement
• Strategic Partnerships reciprocated clean energy
  trade missions through such as MD/Australia Clean
  Energy MoU.
• Financial Incentives Stimulus Package

23
The Stimulus Package

• 5 billion for the Weatherization Assistance
  Program
• 3.1 billion for the State Energy Program
• 3.2 billion for Energy Efficiency and
  Conservation Block Grants
• 2.5 billion for Applied Research, Development,
  Demonstration and Deployment including
• 800 million for Biomass
• 400 million for Geothermal
• 50 million for Information and Communications
  technology
• 2 billion for Advanced Battery Manufacturing
  Grants
• 400 million for Transportation Electrification
• 300 million for an Energy Efficient Appliance
  Rebate Program and ENERGY STAR
• 300 million for an Alternative Fueled-Vehicles
  Pilot Grant Program

24
Marylands State Energy Stimulus

• 3.1 billion for the State Energy Program
• MEA to receive 51 million of which about 1/3
  will be used for Clean Energy
• MEA financial support for CEEDIdetails
