A presentation will be made by the Energy Resilience Advisory Board <br />(ERAB) and the project team. <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />On August 4, 2014, the Joint Development Authority (JDA) appointed an Energy Resilience <br />Advisory Board (ERAB) for the redevelopment of the TCAAP property. The role of the ERAB <br />is to assist staff and consultants in the development of an Energy Integration and Resiliency <br />Framework (EIRF) and Policy White Paper for TCAAP. It is intended that this team will <br />establish a foundation for cost effective, energy efficient alternatives and opportunities for <br />TCAAP over the next 50 years. A project team led by Ever-Green Energy, Burns and <br />McDonnell, Center for Energy and Environment, and Fresh Energy was selected to prepare the <br />EIRF and Policy White Paper. <br /> <br />Over the past few months, during the first phase, the ERAB has assisted in the preparation of the <br />Policy White Paper. This document was developed from discussion with the ERAB along with <br />input from both City and County staff. A presentation of the Policy White Paper was given to <br />the JDA at their November 3, 2014, meeting. After review and comment the JDA formally <br />accepted the Policy White Paper and expressed their support for the ERAB as they continue to <br />work on the EIRF. <br />
