consumption in 1999 compared to 1990
Renewable Energy Goal
•
E.O.-required Guidance on Federal Government Renewable Energy Goal

1,335 GWh -- equivalent to 500 MW wind power plant
173 GWh already in place
•
Reporting Renewable Energy
- New renewable energy only -- installed since 1990
- Green power or RE fuel purchases included in annual reporting
- Renewable project reporting optional -- data submission to FEMP
- Renewable energy treated the same as energy efficiency projects in terms of satisfying energy
conservation goals not added to overall energy consumption
•
Qualifying projects:
- RE outside of facilities and electricity
solar thermal,
passive solar, off-grid wind and solar,
renewable energy transportation fuels

- Excludes renewable energy generation by energy service providers unless agency specifically
contracts for it
Water Conservation Goal
