Don Schjeldahl, Principal
New Energy Economy – who is at the table?
Just about everyone.
New Energy Economy
10,001 ways new energy is
changing the world.
New Energy
Economy:
A global revolution in how we produce,
distribute and use energy
Achieving economic growth through a new energy
economy cluster strategy:
1. Identify local assets, opportunities, and challenges
through a New Energy Economy filter.
2. Target what’s right for your community
3. Ready your community for targeted investment.
What is Right for Your Community?
Projects that
grow your
economy.
Gr
Our Energy Future:
Expect “all of the above.”

Natural gas
Coal including “clean coal”
Nuclear (SMRs)
Hydro
Renewable
– Bio-fuels (field crops, algae,
wood pellets, other)
– Wind – onshore, offshore
– Solar – thermal, PV
– Geothermal (heat pumps,
hot water thermal power)
– Ocean
• Natural gas share of
U.S. electricity
generation double from
16% in 2000 to 30% in
2012.
• U.S. wind energy grew
15% in 2010 to 40

• World solar PV grew to
18.2 gigawatts in 2010,
up 139% Y/Y
Domestic Natural Gas
Will this be “The Natural Gas Century?”
Robust Supply Chain

Energy Driven Innovations
• Transport optimization – “there’s an AP for that”
• GE Aviation – matrix ceramics composites – cowling
allows engines to run hotter (more fuel efficient)
reducing the need for compressor size reducing weight
(saving fuel)
• Borg Warner – turbo chargers – delivers same
performance with smaller engine – fuel savings. Ford
Motor’s “Eco-Boost”
• Elan Musk – Tesla – investing $5
billion / 6,500 employees Reno,
NV “GW battery plant”
Has the time come to pursue
“scale economies?”

Example of
Cluster Analysis
The wind industry is a
low volume market for
specialized products.
 Global = compete globally
from a single factory
 North America = compete
in North American from a
single plant
 Super Regional = plant
serves a super region, 2
plants serve North America
 Regional = 3+ regional
plants serve North America
Onshore Wind Supply Chain
Is Your Community Ready to
Support this Sector?
• Certified “project ready” sites and buildings are
aligned with sector requirements
• Utility infrastructure in place, priced appropriately
• Training resources aligned with sector needs
• Active industry association in support of industry
targets is present
