Senate Passed
Baucus/Grassley Amendment to HR 6049 • Production Tax Credit (PTC)
– One-year extension wind PTC – Three-years for biomass, geothermal, hydro, LFG, waste-energy
+ marine energy• Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
– Solar: 6-year extension of 30% ITC– Fuel cells: 6-year extension and increase cap to $1,500/kw– New 10% ITC on CHP– Removes limitation on use of ITC by electric utilities
• Personal / Residential– Efficiency / solar 30% ITC extended 6 years– Increase cap from $2,000 to $4,000– Offset AMT
• Clean RE Bonds: $2 billion authorization

Kansas Solar Energy
• Western Kansas:– “Excellent” potential
for photovoltaic power– “Particularly good”
potential for solar thermal-electric
• No major projects underway yetSource: DOE
Kansas Biofuels and Biomass
Biomass
Crop and crop residue biomass: 13.9 million dry tons
Cellulosic biomass: 8.1 million dry tons
Upcoming projects: Biomass cofiring plant under construction in Goodland—owned by Energy Holdings.
Biofuels
11 existing ethanol plants
Total capacity: 527 mgpy
9 ethanol plants in development
Additional capacity: 628.3 mgpy
Abengoa Bioenergy constructing $400 million cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton—will produce 30 mgpy of second generation ethanol.

– Colorado energy plan– Nolan County, Texas: Economic impact
• Policy Perspective
Manufacturing Job Loss
• In oast 6 years, Kansas has lost 10,944 manufacturing jobs– 6% of total manufacturing workforce
• Manufacturing fell from 18% of the total non-farm workforce to 16.6% over that time.
• Manufacturing is important to Kansas
Source: US Department of Labor
Renewable Energy is a Growth Industry
• For every 1000 MW of wind/year, about 3000 manufacturing jobs are created(ref: NREL).
• Attracting renewable energy companies to Kansas will increase the economic base:– Component manufacturers– Systems engineers and installers– RE equipment manufacturers– Support professionals

Economic Case Study: Nolan County, Texas
• Current Wind Capacity: 2,500 MW• Future: add 3,000 MW by 2009• More wind capacity than California• 1,124 direct jobs in Nolan County
– 20% of the county’s workforce.– Permanent O&M jobs make up 29% of
direct jobs
• 2008 economic impact in Nolan County: $315 million/year

• Wind• Solar• Biomass / biofuels
– Jobs in Kansas• Case Examples
– Colorado energy plan– Nolan County, Texas: Economic impact
• State Policy Perspective
Additional Policy Benefits of Renewable Energy
• Energy Supply– Coal Money goes out of Kansas to Omaha and London– Wind, Solar and Biomass can be Kansas-growth energy sources
• State response to Climate Change– Regional and state-level innovation today– Preparing for longer-term reduction of GHG emissions
• Environment:– Reduced emissions of all pollutants associated with power generation– Reduced water consumption
• Health Benefits– Lower smog, soot, acid rain, and toxic air emissions. – Lower rates of asthma, respiratory illness in children, cardiovascular
failure, and chronic bronchitis (ref: EPA)
Policies to Promote Renewables
• Current Kansas renewable energy policies:– Property Tax Exemption– Solar Easements– Interest-free loans and utility
rebates• Future legislation under
consideration:– Renewable Portfolio Standard– Financial incentives– Transmission line development
• ACORE recommends:– Economic development incentives– Continuing to protect the
environment and important view shed
Closing Thoughts
• Kansas has excellent renewable energy resources:– #3 state in wind potential: 12x state peak load– Very good opportunities on solar energy– Substantial opportunities in biomass power
• Kansas can begin to receive economic benefits:– Investment in new manufacturing facilities– Construction, operations and maintenance jobs– Increased land lease payments to Kansas farmers– Increased property taxes to local governments– Higher average wages and disposable income– Lower unemployment.
• ACORE urges Kansas to continue its commitment to renewable energy, and we stand ready to help.
