5. Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: An Opportunity
gy gy pp y
What Motivated Biloxi:
• A new Comprehensive Plan
• Federal funding available to the City
– Biloxi allotted $209,000
• Energy planning considered good
fiscal management
f l
• Greater environmental awareness

• EECBG Eligible Activities for Biloxi’s
gy
Strategy:
– Completing the Energy Strategy (EECS)
– Public Building Audits
– Energy Efficiency Retrofits
– Building & Facilities Programs
– Transportation Programs
– Traffic Signals & Street Lighting
10. Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Completing the Work
gy gy p g
How to get it done!
• 120 day clock – create an aggressive schedule
• “Don’t reinvent the wheel” – Chicago model
• Have your team in place with experienced
advisors
• Gather data and resources prior to beginning if
p
possible – especially on establishing a baseline
p y g
of energy consumption
11. Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Completing the Work

Communication with the
Department of Energy (DOE)
• Electronic communication
very important
• Be flexible with change
Be aware of Federal
reporting requirements –
regular activity sheets
12. Biloxi’s Energy Strategy: Crossing the Finish Line

Attachment D:
• Executive Summary of EECS
• Four Pages & Six Questions
• Goals, Implementation,
Coordination, and Monitoring
Biloxi’s Attachment D is currently
being reviewed by DOE

Emphasis on Timelines & EECBG Performance Metrics:
Measureable Results
1.Energy Saved
1E S d
2.Renewable Energy Capacity Installed
Biloxi’s activities is in four
p
phases: 3.GHG Emissions Reduced
4.Funds Leveraged
• Phase 1: EECS Preparation
5.Jobs Created / Saved
• Phase 2: Building Audits/Retrofits
• Phase 3: Monitoring
• Phase 4: Expand Improvements
p p
EECS to be completed within first 120 days
Phases 1 3 are to be completed in 24 months (End of 2011)
1-3
Phase 4, transportation improvements, and regional utility coordination are
ongoing
14. Biloxi Energy Strategy: Lessons Learned
gy gy
• Prepare ahead!
• Use Experienced Technical Advisors for Improved Results
• Think of the EECS as a catalyst/beginning for more comprehensive
sustainable planning
• Balance bigger systems solutions with small, no cost/low cost actions
