III. NATIONAL ACTIVITIES UNITED STATES Tribal Energy Grant Program DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Tribal Energy Program provides financial and technical assistance to tribes for feasibility studies and shares the cost of implementing sustainable renewable energy installations on tribal lands. DOE released two solicitations in 2004 under this program. The first is ‘Renewable Energy Development on TribalLands’. DOEissolicitingapplicationsfromFederally-recognizedTribes,Alaska Native villages and Alaskan Native Corporations to either conduct feasibility studies for the development of economically sustainable renewable energy installations; or for sustainable renewable energy development projects. The second solicitation is ‘First Steps Toward Developing Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency on Tribal Lands’. Under this announcement, DOE is soliciting applications for strategic planning, energy options analysis or resource planning, energy organization development, and human capacity building related to sustainable energy efficiency implementation or renewable energy development. GeoPowering the West (GPW) GPW is a DOE geothermal outreach program, which works with the U.S. industry, power companies, industrial and residential consumers, public interest groups, and Federal, state, and local officials to provide technical and institutional support and limited cost-shared funding for state-level activities. GPW provides information and assistance to States and local communities on how to explore and develop their own geothermal energy resources. 17.5.1.2 State Activities Renewable Portfolio Standards The approach used most frequently by the States is a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) which typically requires that a specified percentage of electricity supply be provided by renewable energy sources. In most of the States with RPS programs, the years of required compliance begin after 2000, with New Mexico’s 2006 initial compliance year being the latest. Because features of RPS programs and existing electricity supplies differ from State to State, the percentage of renewable energy specified in a given State’s RPS does not necessarily reveal the actual amount of new renewable energy capacity required. Key differences among the States include definitions of qualifying renewables, alternatives to new renewable capacity, approaches to cost recovery, opt-out provisions, and enforcement mechanisms. To date, RPS requirements are being met for the most part by output from existing renewable capacity within States or from adjacent States. Some requirements are being met by purchasing credits or by expecting deficiencies to be made up in the future. (‘State Renewable Energy Requirements and Goals: Status Through 2003’; Thomas Petersik, EIA) California's renewables portfolio standard dates to 2002, when the Legislature and Governor Gray Davis required utilities and other retail sellers of electricity to use renewables to generate 20 percent of their load by 2017. Under that law, the only way for the sellers to meet those goals was to build plants or buy power that relied on renewable sources, including small hydroelectric, solar, wind, geothermal and biomass. Legislation enacting California's Renewable Portfolio Standard was signed on September 12, 2002. Under the RPS, vendors of electricity are required to increase their procurement of eligible renewable energy resources by at least 1 percent per year so that 20 percent of their retail sales are procured from eligible renewable energy resources by 2017. Power companies in Nevada have until 2013 to provide 15 percent of their energy sales from renewable energy sources. The standard started at 5% new renewables in 2003, with 2% added every two years until it reaches 15%. The utilities estimate they will need 743 MWe in non-solar renewable generation and 155 MWe in solar by 2013 to comply with the law. IEA Geothermal R&T Annual Report 2004.doc 123
