Where do we go from here?
Energy Facilities Development in Massachusetts’ Coastal Ocean
Environments
Moderator: Charlie Natale, President, ESS Group, Inc.
OFFSHORE ENERGY FACILITIES AND THE MASSACHUSETTS COASTAL OCEAN
• Explore the Challenges of Currently Proposed Offshore Energy Facilities Already Under Review
• The Relative Importance of Ocean Management Planning in the Ability to Use the Coastal Ocean as an Important Regional Energy Pathway
• Where Do We Go from Here? CORMA Legislation (June, 2006) Ocean Sanctuaries Act Revisions Chapter 91 / CZM Authority EOEA Oversight and Management
Pathway to the Future?

THE MASSACHUSETTS COASTAL OCEAN’S ROLE IN REGIONAL ENERGY SUPPLY INITIATIVES
1. Energy Generating Facilities Renewable Energy Nuclear Energy
2. Submarine Electric Cable Transmission Facilities Local Distribution Regional / Interstate Energy Transfer
3. Marine-Based Transportation & Fuel Supply Natural Gas Fuel Oil Associated Interstate Commerce
4. Other Uses Telecommunications Sand and Gravel Mining
THE DILEMMA OF REGIONAL ENERGY SUPPLY
1.Fuel Costs Discouraging Investment in New Land-Based Energy Facilities
2.Regional Load Growth Demand Continues (annual Net Energy for Load)
2002 2006
Natural Gas Prices ($ per thousand cubic feet)
$2.20 $13.50
Fuel Oil Prices ($ per barrel) $45.00
$75.00
Gasoline Prices ($ per gallon) $1.50 $3.15
Demand % Change from Previous Year

Northeast Gateway Deepwater PortDeepwater Port Project Facts
• Based on Excelerate Energy’s proprietary Energy Bridge shipboard regasification technology
• Port will be located in federal waters roughly 13 miles south-southeast of Gloucester
• A dual-buoy system will be capable of ensuring continuous delivery of natural gas
• Throughput capacity available will range from 400 to over 800 MMcf/d
• Only project that can be in-service by 2007

The Challenge• How to meet Massachusetts' Coastal
electricity demand with minimal environmental impact
• Focus on Boston market:– Aging power plants (New Boston, Salem)– Extremely high cost of building new plants (Mystic)– Overdependence on nat gas;Desire for green
power;– Complex New England transmission system– Shifting regulatory regime
Anbaric LLC 24 Independent transmission development
Boston’s Situation
• Overall power adequacy– OK until 2012 or so… – To get new capacity by 2012, development efforts have to start
in 2007
• Cost of building new plants– The next baseload urban power plant likely to cost up to
$2000/kw ($1.2 billion for 600MW facility) compared with $700/kw ($420 million) in more accessible areas
– No one stepping forward to build plant on merchant basis
• Green power– Boston is extremely dependent on LNG… has little “power
portfolio diversity”– Wind development opportunities both north and south of
Boston… with transmission implications
Anbaric LLC 25 Independent transmission development
Sub-Sea Transmission
• Sub-sea transmission broadens the power choices of urban areas – The Neptune example:
• Long Island Power Authority award in 2005 to build a sub-sea, 660MW HVDC line to PJM
• LIPA Chairman Rich Kessel announced Neptune would save Long Island ratepayers more than $1 billion in power costs
• The cost of the cable + capacity in PJM + energy savings < cost of gas-fired capacity on Long Island
• Bottom line: Sub-sea transmission from “distant markets” to urban areas can be good for reliability and is economically efficient
