Description of the Minnesota Energy Agency : , ' , , � . . � , � . I. ` STATE CONSERVATION PLAN The State oP Minnesota Statutes 1161�f.07(i� require the Minnesota F�ergy Agency, (MEA), to prepare a conservation plan. The MEA is parti- cipating with the Federal �ergy Agency, {FEA), in the development oP " this �nergy Conservation plan. The planning process, and to some extent � pro�ects to be included with the plan, are funded under the �nergy Policy and Conservation Act, (EPCA}, PL 9�-163. Outlines of the salient points of this act and the �ergy Conservation and Production Act, (ECPA), are attached. The EPCA mandates the FEA to set a goal for the state plans that meets the constraints of technical and economic feasibility. � The basic goal =selected by FEA is a 5� reduction in energy consumption � , by 1930 from what is forecast to occur without the conservation plan. The N''..:.A expects its plan to meet this goal, but will consider the long � f term needs of the state as overriding concerns. The plan will serve as the framework for all state administered con- serva�ion pro�ects and will provide orderly coordination of these pro- �ects with non-state pro�ects. ;'he plan will be formed around a modern database pro�ect management and i*�formation retrieval system presently �under development by MEA staf�. All available conservation pro�ect information will beco me a ' part of this database. The system will allow access by categories such ; as end-use sector, fuel type, funding source, or intersecting combinations of t'r,ese. St is anticipated that this system will enhance energy conser- vation within the State in a variety of ways, including: . • -EYiergy accountin� of conservation efforts for FEA use � -Provision of information for long term planning -2- -Coordination of overla in ro�ects _ PP� g P 6,,�, - �`�;�� -Efficient direction of resources and multi-source funding information -Technology transfer among participants and with outside sources -Fair treatment of energy users in the even� of severe shortages The effectiveness of this system will be dependent largely oY� ��=r= acquisition of information on conservation pro�ects. Pro�ects c:zrren�:�.i� underway or planned by the MEA �s well as those funded through �he plan-- ning process under the EPCA will automatically be included. These, however, represent a small fraction of the effort underway or planned with�n the state. It is essential that ir�formation on the many programs not administered� by the MEA also be en�ered int� �he database. T?ie procedure for the submission of this inz'or�^ ion is outlined in Section III. Al1 participants in tne pr�gra�� to devzlop a conservation plan will be kept apprised of the plan status and technology transfer ser- vices available. It is emphasized that this program is service_=oriented and strictl;� volun�ary. - 3- 4 �: 1 . YI. ��-:';�� , PROPOSALS FOR FUNDED PROJECTS � The MEA has set the following broad goals and guidelines for con- servation pro�ects to be funded under the EPCA. � � -The pro�ects should be directed toward . ' meeting the long term energy needs and interests oP Minnesota. This does not rule out short-term pro�ects, but requires them to be �ustifiable in the ' • longer term. � -The pro�ects should recognize the differences , in cost, utility ?�?a availability $mong energy sources. � Since the overall goal is energy conservation, it is expected that proposals will be directed to that area rather than related areas such as energy conversion. Also, pro�ects that are strongly research oriented, while not ruled out, will be evaluated on the same basis as others regarding direct savings likely to result. These proposals may also be forwarded to the Research Division of the MEA for separate evaluation. Proposals should include forecast energy savin�s and identif'� the metrodology used for calculation. The forecast and methodolo�y will be evaluated by the MEA economics and forecasting staff. All assumptions and calculations and sources of data should be clearly displayed or referenced. ; Evaluation of technical mertt and feasibility will be the responsi- bility oP the 1�A with outside reviewers as required. Informal contact with the plan coordinator is encouraged to assist in rapid resolution of tech.z�cz1 questions. Proposals should include some provision for the MEA to monitor ener� conservation results independent o� the actual pro�ect review or _q_ . , )I � report process. The MEA w�ll require contintring information or a way o� obtaining it on the actual energy savin�s occuring. Proprietary information should not be included. The proposals should include as a minimwn the Pollowing information: (1) Name(s) and address (es) of person(s) or � organization(s) submitting. (2) An outline oP the pro�ect. (3) An abstract of the pro�ect. (�) The amount of funds required with an . . itemized breakdown of the eosts oP the project: equipment and tnstruments (including transpor- tation and installation costs) , expendable supplies, services (such as computer rer�tal or chemical analysis}, salaries and wages, indirect costs, secretarial expenses, travel, and other costs. Indicate what other sources of funds are, or might be, available to assist in the pro�ect. (5) Biographical information on key personnel. (6) Estimated energy savings effect. The Agency recognizes that the time for proposal preparation is limited and will accept less detail than that usually required. Al1 proposals oust be submitted in triplicate by February 1, 197?. , Proposals that meet the above goals and guidelines will be selected according to the followin� criteria: Cost-benefit ratio, Technical merit, , Environmental suitability, Opportunities for future funding, Opportunities for technology transfer. Regardless of the overall disposition of the pro�ect, an evaluation of the pro�ect will be returned to the proposer. Final budgeting and pro��ct details will be negotiated at a later - 5- . . . � ,. , . � �� date Por those proposals selected as promising. . Participants in this program should be aware that funding through CY 1979 is allocated in the EPCA, but that flinds have only been appropriated for CY 1977. Approxima.tely $400,000 will be available • under the EPCA for the State of Minnesota during that year. The ECPA� PL 9�F-385, also allocates funds for State planned pro- �ects for CY 1978-1980. The MEA intends to participate with the FEA under the provision of this act. However, no� funds have yet been � eppropriated. Funding f'or the years 1978-1980 under EPCA and ECPA is necessarily vague; it probably will be in the $�00,000 to $1 million/ year range for Minnesota, but there could be no funds or as much as $1. 5 million/year. 1 : " � � : . _ ��'�t� � - �zz. . � NON-MEA PROJECT INFORMATION The MEA Conservation plan database is designed to accept the infor- mation outlined on the following form.
