Slide 2: Georgia is the 4th fastest growing state in the union. 4th Slide 3: By 2020, Georgia’s population is expected to grow by almost 33%! 2020 2000 2030 By almost 47%, by 2030! Slide 4: Georgia’s EMCs serve about 4.5 million of the state’s 9.4 million residents. More than 90% of EMC customers are residential. The EMCs serve 73% of the state’s land area in 157 of the state’s 159 counties. Slide 5: In August 2007, Georgia’s EMCs set a new record peak of more than 9,000 MW. This figure is projected to almost double by 2020. Slide 6: The world it blessed with many different kinds of energy resources, Each country has its own unique blend! Slide 7: 52% of the world’s oil reserves are located in four countries: Saudia Arabia (20%) Canada (13%) Iran (10%) Iraq (9%) #12 USA (1.6%) Source EIA, 2008 OIL Slide 8: 57% of the world’s natural gas reserves are in three countries: Russia (27%) Iran (15%) Qatar (15%) #6 USA (3.4%) Source EIA, 2008 Natural GAS Slide 9: Coal Source EIA, 2008 61% of the world’s coal reserves are in three countries: United States (28%) Russia (19%) China (14%) Slide 10: Coal is the most cost stable! By 2030, the price of oil is expected to increase by 261% natural gas by 175% coal by 53%. Source: EIA , compared to 2000 in 2007 dollars Coal is a Bargain! : It’s like buying gasoline at $0.40 a gallon,natural gas at $0.33 per therm, or a barrel of crude oil for $18.85! Source: EIA , 2008 data Coal is a Bargain! Slide 12: China plans to add 562 new coal-fired plants The world’s preferred choice for FUTURE baseload energy is Coal! 562 213 India is on track to add 213 new plants Slide 13: The United States has the world’s largest reserves of Coal. Slide 14: In terms of energy, the U.S. has more coal than the Middle East has oil. Slide 15: We have a 270 year supply of coal. Slide 16: Coal is used to produce over half of the nation’s electricity. Slide 17: Georgia has not built any new significant baseload generation since 1989! Slide 18: Today’s coal-based generation is more than 77% cleaner than the technology used just 30 years ago. 1979 2009 Slide 19: Coal is the preferred source of future baseload energy in the United States. Slide 20: Currently in the U.S., 28 coal-fired power plants are under construction, 7 are near construction, 13 have been permitted, 47 have been announced. Slide 21: Plant Washington will obtain water primarily from the Oconee River, secondarily from the Cretaceous Aquifer. Slide 22: On an average day, Plant Washington will use about 13.5 million gallons of water . Most will evaporate into the atmosphere or be returned to the Oconee River. Slide 23: The average flow of the Oconee River is almost 1.4 Billion gallons per day. Slide 24: The amount of water needed to operate Plant Washington each day is less than one percent of the daily flow of the Oconee River. Slide 25: The Oconee River can meet needs of Plant Washington over 93% of the time. Slide 26: At other times, Plant Washington will drawn water from the Cretaceous Aquifer system. Slide 27: Drawing water from the aquifer will not impact any existing rivers, ponds, streams, wells or wet lands. Slide 28: Plant Washington will use about 0.6 gallons of water to produce each kWh of electricity. Slide 29: The amount of water used by Plant Washington to power a home for a year… Slide 30: will be LESS than the amount of water used by that home’s washing machine! Slide 31: Over 40% of the cost and 60% of the footprint of Plant Washington is related to protecting the environment. Slide 32: Plant Washington will use the best available air quality control technologies. Slide 33: Plant Washington will meet ALL state and federal clean air standards. Slide 34: Plant Washington will be designed carbon capture ready. Slide 35: Plant Washington will be THE cleanest coal-fired power plant ever built! Slide 36: Plant Washington will provide up to 1,430 annual construction jobs. Slide 37: Plant Washington will provide 128 full time jobs… with over $7.0 million in annual wages. Slide 38: Last summer, families earning $50,000 a year spent over 25% of their income on energy. Slide 39: Families earning less than $25,000 a year spend an even greater percentage of their income on energy. Slide 40: Compared to 10 years ago, households receiving Low Income Home Energy Assistance spend 33% more of their income on home energy. Slide 41: The pine trees that dominate Georgia’s forests are among the better trees at sequestering carbon. Slide 42: One acre of 20 year old loblolly pines can capture and store up to 6.6 tons of CO2 each year. Slide 43: About 66% of Georgia is covered in valuable forest land. Slide 44: About 66% of Georgia is covered in valuable forest land. Each day, Georgia loses about 300 acres of forest. Slide 45: POWER4Georgians has developed an innovative carbon offset program. KeepingForestsinForestsSM It rewards Georgia landowners for keeping their forests in forests. Slide 46: Georgia’s 42 EMCs offer a combined 21 different energy efficiency and green power programs to its members. Slide 47: In 2007, Georgia EMCs invested over $12 million in energy efficiency, energy conservation and demand management programs. Slide 48: Georgia EMC members saved over 28,000,000 kWh of electricity and reduced their demand by 157,000 kW. Slide 49: Georgia EMCs have installed or plan to install advanced metering systems on over one million members’ homes. Slide 50: Georgia EMCs have installed over 144,000 load control switches on central AC units and water heaters. Slide 51: When activated, the switches can reduce summer demand by 135 MW, which is equivalent to a medium size peaking power plant. Slide 52: Georgia EMCs have invested in over 27,000 kW of renewable “green power”. Slide 53: Georgia EMCs receive 25,000 kW of green power from two landfill gas projects and one chicken litter project. Slide 54: Georgia EMC’s “Sun Power for Schools” program has installed solar PV systems in 22 schools. Slide 55: POWER4Georgians is attempting to develop a 2,000 kW solar PV facility in Georgia. Slide 56: Georgia EMCs are in the second phase of a wind power assessment project near Rome, GA. Slide 57: According to a University of Georgia study, the total energy potential for biomass projects in Georgia is about 675 MW. Slide 58: Georgia’s EMCs are developing over 200 MWs of biomass facilities in Georgia. Slide 59: Plant Washington the safe, smart choice. You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
