## Electricity Resource Need Through 2008

- *

- * Assumes that 1/3 of the total capacity of plants over 45 years old will be retired in the next 5 years.

## Power plants certified for construction = 1,562 MW
Power plants in the certification process = 1,100 MW
Transmission lines certified for construction = 550 MW
Transmission lines in the certification process = 2,000 MW
Energy efficiency and distributed generation potential = 1038 MW

- Power plants in the certification process = 1,100 MW
- Transmission lines certified for construction = 550 MW
- Transmission lines in the certification process = 2,000 MW
- Energy efficiency and distributed generation potential = 1038 MW

**Electricity Resource Options in the Pipeline**

## The Energy Policy Task Force arrived at 28 specific
recommendations in the following 4 areas:
Energy Supply - generation, transmission and gas pipelines
Distributed Resources - energy efficiency, clean on-site generation and peak load management
Energy Delivery - electric, gas and steam distribution system
New York City/Leading by Example - energy efficiency, clean on-site generation, high-performance building design and peak load management

**recommendations in the following 4 areas:**
- Energy Supply - generation, transmission and gas pipelines
- Distributed Resources - energy efficiency, clean on-site generation and peak load management
- Energy Delivery - electric, gas and steam distribution system
- New York City/Leading by Example - energy efficiency, clean on-site generation, high-performance building design and peak load management

**Summary of Task Force Recommendations**

## New York City – Leading By Example

- Enhance and augment the City’s menu of energy efficiency programs
- Create a City energy efficiency plan
- Tie economic development assistance to energy efficiency
- Expand the use of steam and gas chillers and thermal energy storage systems where cost effective
- Include clean on-site generation strategies as part of a least cost resource plan to supply the electricity needs of City Agencies
- Seek direct incentives and low cost financing for peak load management enabling technologies
- Incorporate high-performance design strategies into City-led capital projects for long-term value
- Partner with private sector New York City developers, and building community at large, to promote the benefits of high-performance building design

## Next Steps

- Keep the Energy Policy Task Force intact
- Work with the Energy Policy Task Force members to implement the specific action items under each recommendation
- Develop and establish an Energy Policy Task Force Scorecard to measure and communicate progress on a semi- annual basis
