Overall Energy Use
Electricity Only

Natural Gas

• Natural gas is primary source of electricity
  generation
• New York is the fourth largest consumer of
  natural gas in the United States
• New York has 315 billion cubic feet of natural
  gas reserves, 5,913 producing gas wells and
  27,787 million cubic feet (mcf) of production in
  2001. This production level is far less than the
  total natural gas consumption of 1,171,158 mcf in
  2001
• All new planned generation (15,000 MW) is gas
  fired

9
Nuclear Energy

• Accounts for 28 of electricity production
• Second only to natural gas
• Most plants built in the early 1970s
• No imminent license expirations
• Indian Point facility is one of the most
  controversial plants in the U.S.

10
Coal

• New York does not have any coal mining operations
  or any known reserves
• State has 16 coal electricity plants and 4000 MW
  of generating power
• 8,955 thousand tons of coal were imported to New
  York in 2002
• Total usage represents only 1 of the coal used
  in the U.S. each year
• Use in electricity generation relatively stable,
  all other uses declining

11
Petroleum

• 4th Largest Petroleum consumer in the U.S.
• Single largest source of energy used in the state
• Ranks 28 of 31 of oil producing states
• Decreasing reliance over time in all but
  transportation
• Last major oil find was 1981
• Latest oil production s were 452 bpd

Renewable Energy
13
Renewable EnergyHydroelectric

• New York has 4440 MW of hydroelectric generating
  power
• Uses nearly twice as much hydroelectric power
  than the average U.S. state
• Largest user in the Northeast
• 75 capacity comes from two large projects
• 2160 MW Niagara Power Project
• 912 MW St. Lawrence -Franklin D. Roosevelt Power
  Project

14
Coal Regulation

• State and Federal Regulation
• NY Acid Deposition and Control Act aimed at
  reducing SO2 emissions
• Title IV of the federal Clean Air Act (CAA)
  Amendments of 1990
• Resulted in 50 reduction in SO2 from 1980 levels
• Limits summer NOx emissions for coal plants -
  reductions of up to 75 from 1990 levels required
  for 2003
• Governors Acid Deposition Reduction (ADR)
  Program should result in regs requiring
  electricity generation plants to reduce SO2
  emissions to 50 of that required by the federal
  CAA Amendments of 1990

15
2002 New York State Energy Plan

• Implemented and administered by the NY State
  Energy Research and Development Authority
  (NYSERDA)
• Goals include
• Reducing primary energy use per unit of Gross
  State Product (GSP) 25 below the 1990 level by
  2010
• Increasing renewable energy use as a percentage
  of primary energy use 50 by 2020 (from 10 to
  15)
• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions 5 below 1990
  levels by 2010 (10 below by 2020)
• Increasing energy resource diversity in
  electricity generation

16
Promotion of Renewables

•  
• Executive Order 111 Issued by Gov. Pataki to
  increase purchase of energy generated from
  specific renewable technologies
• Goal of 10 of their energy requirements by 2005,
  and 20 by 2010
• Net Metering Law - Allows residential elect.
  customers to offset electricity use with power
  from renewable energy.
• Provides 25 tax credit for purchase and
  installation cost of a qualifying renewable
  system
• New York Environmental Disclosure Program - PSC
  requires electricity providers to include
  "environmental disclosure labeling
• Provides information about the percentage mix of
  fuels used to generate electricity sold to a
  given customer

17
Other Regulations

• Cap and trade programs - patterned after
  existing programs
• Regional strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from
  power plant
• Based on commitment of 10 NE states
• Set-Aside Program
• Funds set aside to provide financial
  incentives/awards for
• End-use electric energy efficiency measures
• Renewable energy projects
• Installation of control devices on fossil
  fuel-fired electricity generation sources
• Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Task Force
• Comprised of business, community, and government
  leaders.
• Advise the Gov. on actions and policies to
  achieve GHG reductions across all sectors of the
  economy
• Position NY as a national leader on these issues

18
Energy Mix
http//www.nyserda.org/trends2003.pdf
19
Energy Mix

• Disproportionately high nuclear, hydroelectric
  and natural gas
• Moved from dependency on coal and oil to natural
  gas
• Reduced petroleum as a share of primary energy
  from 52 in 1988 to 39 in 2002
• Only 11 of total energy requirements are met by
  resources produced within the State

20
Energy Mix Influences

• Scarcity of coal
• New natural gas generation facilities
• Transportation price
• Environmental concerns with hydrocarbon-based
  energy and clean energy incentives
• Retirement of some coal and oil plants
• 85 of its petroleum imports from foreign sources.

21
Energy Mix Effectiveness

• 4 of the nations total primary energy
  consumption 7 of the nations population.
• Sulfur Dioxide (3,000 tons/sq. mile), Nitrogen
  Oxide (3,000 tons/sq. mile), and Carbon Dioxide
  (1.4 million tons/sq. mile) emissions rank 24th,
  27th and 21st amongst states, respectively
• Lack of coal blessing in disguise?

22
Future

• 2002 New York State Energy Plan
• Natural gas growth of 1.5 annual through 2020
• Reduction in the use of coal (-1.0) and
  petroleum (-.07)
• Increasing renewable energy use as a percentage
  of primary energy use 50, from 10 of primary
  energy use currently, to 15 by 2020
