Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: An Opportunity gy gy pp y

Size: 46.5 Square Miles

Population: +/- 50,000


What Motivated Biloxi:

• A new Comprehensive Plan

• Federal funding available to the City • Federal funding available to the City – Biloxi allotted $209,000

• Energy planning considered good f lfiscal management

• Greater environmental awareness

Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Getting Startedgy gy g

• EECBG Eligible Activities for Biloxi’s Strategy:gy

– Completing the Energy Strategy (EECS)

– Public Building Audits

– Energy Efficiency Retrofits

– Building & Facilities Programs

– Transportation Programs

– Traffic Signals & Street Lighting

Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Completing the Work gy gy p g

How to get it done!

• 120 day clock – create an aggressive schedule

• “Don’t reinvent the wheel” – Chicago model

• Have your team in place with experienced advisorsadvisors

• Gather data and resources prior to beginning if possible – especially on establishing a baseline p p y gof energy consumption

Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Completing the Workgy gy p g

Communication with the Department of Energy (DOE)

• Electronic communication very importantvery important

• Be flexible with change

Be aware of Federal reporting requirements –reporting requirements regular activity sheets

Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Crossing the Finish Linegy gy g

Attachment D:

• Executive Summary of EECS

• Four Pages & Six Questions

• Goals, Implementation, Coordination, and Monitoring

Biloxi’s Attachment D is currently being reviewed by DOE

Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Crossing the Finish Linegy gy g

Emphasis on Timelines & Measureable Results

EECBG Performance Metrics:

1 E S d

Biloxi’s activities is in four phases:

1.Energy Saved

2.Renewable Energy Capacity Installed

3.GHG Emissions Reducedp

• Phase 1: EECS Preparation

• Phase 2: Building Audits/Retrofits

4.Funds Leveraged

5.Jobs Created / Saved

Phase 2: Building Audits/Retrofits

• Phase 3: Monitoring

• Phase 4: Expand Improvements p p

EECS to be completed within first 120 days

Phases 1-3 are to be completed in 24 months (End of 2011)Phases 1 3 are to be completed in 24 months (End of 2011)

Phase 4, transportation improvements, and regional utility coordination are ongoing

Biloxi Energy Strategy: Lessons Learnedgy gy

• Prepare ahead!

• Use Experienced Technical Advisors for Improved ResultsUse Experienced Technical Advisors for Improved Results

• Think of the EECS as a catalyst/beginning for more comprehensive sustainable planning

• Balance bigger systems solutions with small, no cost/low cost actions
