<br /> <br /> <br />Joint Development Authority <br /> TCAAP Redevelopment Project <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DATE: April 6, 2015 <br /> <br />TO: Joint Development Authority Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />FROM: Heather Worthington, Administrative Director <br /> <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Energy Integration and Resiliency Framework Final Document <br /> <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br />n/a n/a n/a <br /> <br />Summary <br />The draft Energy Integration and Resiliency Framework—Final Report is attached. The report includes the analysis of <br />energy alternatives for the site and an implementation plan. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />In 2014, the Joint Development Authority (“JDA”) requested an analysis that would set the foundation for approaching <br />energy related decisions at the TCAAP site so that cost effective, energy efficient alternatives and opportunities are <br />addressed during initial development while allowing for flexibility to adapt to new opportunities over the next 50 years. <br />The Energy Resiliency Advisory Board (“ERAB”) was established to provide advice during the project. <br /> <br />Ever-Green Energy was chosen to prepare the TCAAP Energy Integration and Resiliency Framework (“Framework”) with <br />ERAB providing advice, review and comments. Phase 1 of the project was presented to the JDA on November 3, 2014. It <br />included an Energy Vison for the TCAAP site, Guiding Principles and a White Paper. The White Paper reviewed a broad <br />range of energy supply and demand-side management alternatives and assessed their relevance for the TCAAP site. <br />Alternatives that were most likely to be cost effective and energy efficient were recommended for further analysis. <br />After presentations to the JDA and the Arden Hills City Council, Phase 2 addressed the recommendations. <br /> <br />Phase 2 included a more detailed review of the energy alternatives recommended in Phase 1. The technical and <br />financial aspects were analyzed to get a better understanding of what is likely to work with the site’s special <br />characteristics and whether what works is cost effective. The work was done in consultation with related activities <br />including infrastructure planning and site land use planning.
