A summary of activities and an evaluation of progress toward the achievement of energy consumption and energy efficiency goals, through fiscal year 1982, as established by the Department in its 10-Year Management Plans is presented. The mission, organizational structure and reporting relationships of the Department of Energy and of the Department's field offices are shown. (ERA citation 09:000654)

In February 2005 the Aroostook Band of Micmacs submitted a grant application to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Tribal First Steps Program. The purpose of the application was to request funding and technical assistance to identify and document Tribal energy issues, develop a Tribal energy vision, evaluate potential energy opportunities, and to develop an action plan for future Tribal energy activities. The grant application was subsequently funded by DOE, and the Aroostook Band of Micmacs hired an energy consultant to assist with completion of the project. In addition to identification and documentation of Tribal energy issues, and the development of a Tribal energy vision, the potential for wind energy development on Tribal land, and residential energy efficiency issues were thoroughly evaluated.

The goal of the Western Wind Strategy project was to help remove critical barriers to wind development in the Western Interconnection. The four stated objectives of this project were to: (1) identify the barriers, particularly barriers to the operational integration of renewables and barriers identified by load-serving entities (LSEs) that will be buying wind generation, (2) communicate the barriers to state officials, (3) create a collaborative process to address those barriers with the Western states, utilities and the renewable industry, and (4) provide a role model for other regions. The project has been on the forefront of identifying and informing state policy makers and utility regulators of critical issues related to wind energy and the integration of variable generation. The project has been a critical component in the efforts of states to push forward important reforms and innovations that will enable states to meet their renewable energy goals and lower the cost to consumers of integrating variable generation.

This document, Appendix D of DOE's 1980 Policy and Fiscal Guidance, presents a set of energy projections for use in strategic-planning activities. The forecasts reflect assumptions about key input variables - world oil prices, economic growth, nuclear capacity, domestic oil production potential, and policy initiatives - that are consistent with information available to the Office of Policy and Evaluation as of February 1980. These projections use the same analytical framework as those presented in the Second National Energy Plan (NEP-II), published in May 1979. This analytical framework is described in Appendices A and B of NEP-II (available from the Office of Analytical Services). The projections differ from those published in NE-II in the following assumptions: (1) world oil prices are higher, reflecting the June and December 1979 OPEC price hikes and the current instability in world oil markets; (2) GNP growth is lower than NEP-II, primarily a result of the expected recession in 1980; (3) domestic oil production is lower due to a reevaluation of lower-48 and offshore oil production potential; (4) nuclear capacity is assumed to expand at a slower rate of growth; and (5) Presidential initiatives are incorporated into the analysis, including the windfall profits tax bill H.R. 3919, synfuel corporaton legislation S.932, utility oil backout program - 750,000 bbls/day savings by 1990 to 1995, and conservation savings of 250,000 bbls/day.

The policy environment for energy emergency planning has changed as a result of the election of Ronald Reagan. This was made clear by the President's veto of the Standby Petroleum Allocation Act of 1982 (S.1503) signifying once and for all the death of the allocation approach to coping with future energy emergencies. Recognizing this change in policy attitudes, the Georgetown University Center for Strategic and International Studies, with funding assistance from the US Department of Energy, is sponsoring a series of three meetings on energy emergency planning. The first, held on June 7, 1982, focused on the role of the private sector in energy emergencies. (ERA citation 10:044475)

The Annual Energy Outlook 1998 (AEO98) is the first AEO with projections to 2020. Key issues for the forecast extension are trends in energy efficiency improvements, the effects of increasing production and productivity improvements on energy prices, and the reduction in nuclear generating capacity. Projections in AEO98 also reflect a greater shift to electricity market restructuring. Restructuring is addressed through several changes that are assumed to occur in the industry, including a shorter capital recovery period for capacity expansion decisions and a revised financial structure that features a higher cost of capital as the result of higher competitive risk. Both assumptions tend to favor less capital-intensive generation technologies, such as natural gas, over coal or baseload renewable technologies. The forecasts include specific restructuring plans in those regions that have announced plans. California, New York, and New England are assumed to begin competitive pricing in 1998. The provisions of the California legislation for stranded cost recovery and price caps are incorporated. In New York and New England, stranded cost recovery is assumed to be phased out by 2008.
