This executive summary outlines the key findings and recommendations from the Texas River Cities Plug-in Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan. The plan assessed the needs and activities around plug-in electric vehicle adoption in the Texas River Cities region, which includes 10 counties and nearly 4 million people served by various public utilities. The plan found that plug-in electric vehicles are currently viable options for drivers in the region based on survey results showing owners can take most trips in electric mode. It also identified the need to continue expanding public charging infrastructure and developing policies and programs to encourage workplace, multi-family and fleet charging. The plan provides a template that other regions can use to similarly support the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles.
Energy Efficiency – Good for the World’s Economy; Good for the Nation’s Econo...Alliance To Save Energy
States awaiting stimulus funds will be pleased to know that when it comes to funding energy efficiency programs, their dollars will go far. Drastically reduced energy consumption and immediate job growth are just some of the benefits that effective policies and programs can bring, particularly to the Appalachian region, which has the highest energy consumption in the country. Kateri Callahan presented these findings to the annual Charlotte Regional Partnership Investors Board in Charlotte, N.C., where already progressive energy efficiency policies and programs are taking root. Callahan also briefed the audience of investors and board members on the climate and energy bills moving through Congress.

2011 has been touted as “the year of the plug-in electric vehicle”. With domestic fuel prices up 30 percent since last year, drivers are feeling pain at the pumps. Automakers have heard the cries of American wallets and have delivered a fleet of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). The Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt are the first in a new generation of PEVs. The Leaf, a full PEV, runs entirely on a battery powered by the electric grid. The Volt is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that runs on a grid powered battery but also has a conventional engine fueled by gasoline. The Volt can travel between 20-50 miles on a single charge while the Leaf can travel over 100 miles. Regardless of a driver’s selection, the charging costs of both vehicles are less per mile than gasoline or diesel – approximately three cents per mile for EVs versus 12 cents per mile for conventional engines.

Energy Journal Shifting Balance Gulf Countries and the Energy Transition BahrainPower System Operation
Today there is no country, no continent that isn’t forced to grapple
with environmental and energy challenges. All over the world, in
every nation, these challenges manifest specific characteristics
that translate into different decisions.
In recent issues of EJ, we explored what dealing with these challenges
means for African countries, for Europe and for the United
States. In this issue, we are bringing our global voyage through
the effects and perspectives generated by the energy transition
to a close, focusing on the Middle East, and the Gulf countries,
considered one of the most interesting and fast-changing areas in
the world.
These countries have always been key players in the traditional,
fossil fuel-based energy scenario. Today they are determined to
remain world leaders in the new energy horizon that is dawning
before our eyes. Therefore, they’ve chosen to face down the challenges
of diversification and sustainability in a radical manner.
The force driving them in this direction is unquestionably climate
change, but it’s not the only reason. As we explain in more detail
in the article “Life After Oil in the Gulf Region,” the theme of rising
and falling oil prices; an exponential increase in electric energy
consumption (driven by residential consumption); and the need to
diversify domestic industrial production have all inspired leaders
to profoundly rethink economic structures and objectives across
the area.
The strategic plans approved by different countries in the Gulf are
designed to take fuller, more efficient use of the region’s enormous
renewable energy potential. Just look at the green energy generation
targets set by two countries of reference: 50% by 2050 for the
Arab Emirates; 30% by 2030 for Saudi Arabia.
This is also why we’ve focused on things like Saudi Arabia’s Vision
2030 plan (in the article “Future Vision”); on Oman’s Country
Value Program and on Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030 plan.

Mark Gander, GPC Board member and AECOM Director, was among a group of leading scientists, researchers, innovators, officials, and corporate leaders to present recently at the World Green Energy Symposium (WGES) at the City University of New York (CUNY) in New York City.
His “Integrated Solutions in Sustainable Green Energy and Transportation” presentation focused on clean renewable energy; transportation; electric car vehicles; green parking; and place-based strategies such as an eco-district or transit-oriented development that are comprehensive ways to optimize land use efficiency, energy and water and to create jobs.
In her panel, 'Energy Efficiency: Greatest New Resource", Callahan looks at the chief forcing mechanisms - regulations and financial incentives - that have effectively accelerated the deployment of energy efficieny in the U.S. Her presentation covers the recent history of energy efficiency in U.S. policy, marked by President Obama's energy platform and FY2010 budget, as well as his recent overhaul of corporate average fuel economy standards. Callahan also examines the wealth of energy efficiency funding included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and the potential for carbon emissions reductions in the House of Representative's American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009.
Whitepaper: Priming the United States Grid for High-Powered Electric Vehicle...Black & Veatch
High-power electric vehicle (EV) charging stations can help reach emission reduction goals in the United States (U.S.) and Europe as the EV adoption increases. However, the energy demand associated with high-power charging stations is raising questions in the U.S. about the impacts to electric utilities, energy management, and grid stability. Energy solutions such as energy storage, managed charging, and controlling distributed grid assets are important considerations in the U.S. With a comprehensive approach, the industry can lay a foundation that prepares the market for EV adoption and adequate energy delivery for charging station infrastructure while minimizing grid impact.

Welcome
Austin Energy®
has a Strong
Commitment to Plug-in
Electric Vehicles
Austin Energy is proud
to present the Texas
River Cities (TRC) Plug-in
Electric Vehicle (PEV)
Infrastructure Plan.
The TRC vision is to
develop a convenient,
dependable charging
infrastructure network
for the widespread deployment of plug-in
electric vehicles throughout the Central Texas
region, including Austin and San Antonio.
The TRC Plan outlines concrete steps we can
take to promote PEV adoption. This in turn
reduces the use of imported oil in exchange for
domestically produced electricity, strengthens
the local economy, promotes energy security
and improves air quality.
Austin Energy is a recognized national leader in
demonstrating clean energy generation, energy
efficiency programs and electric transportation
initiatives. The Austin community recognizes
the utility, environmental, and energy
security benefits of plug-in electric vehicles.
The national Electric Drive Transportation
Association recognized Austin as a top
“plug-in ready” city in the United States due
to infrastructure already installed and utility
programs which signal our commitment to PEV
adoption. As an example, the Austin Energy
Plug-in EVerywhere™ network includes over
110 public-access charging stations that are
powered with 100% renewable energy through
Austin Energy’s GreenChoice®
program, the
most successful voluntary green energy sales
program in the nation.
The TRC Region (see pg. 11) In addition, Austin Energy is a founding
partner of Pecan Street Inc. and its smart
grid demonstration project in Austin. We
collaborate with numerous clean technology
research and development organizations,
such as CleanTX Foundation, Center for the
Commercialization of Electric Technologies,
Austin Technology Incubator and Clean
Technology and Sustainable Industries
Organization to identify the most cost-
effective, sustainable methods of producing
and providing energy to our customers.
Thanks to the outstanding support from
TRC partner utilities, local governments,
universities, industry advisors, consumers
and all those who are working to enable the
PEV market. The city and the region now have
an action plan supporting the widespread
deployment of PEVs.

Austin Energy is the prime recipient of
Department of Energy funding and has
successfully led an infrastructure planning
process called the Texas River Cities Plug-in
Electric Vehicle Initiative. The key deliverable
of the TRC PEV Initiative is an approximately
500- page report (the TRC Plan) that can be
downloaded from www.texasrivercities.com.
The TRC Plan represents one of the most
comprehensive Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment (EVSE) infrastructure assessments
to date in this industry. It is a regional/
community-based infrastructure readiness
plan, providing a series of templates and tools
that can be adopted by and adapted to any
region or community in the country.
This executive summary highlights key
components of the TRC Plan. The full report
identifies, assesses and summarizes key
stakeholders’ ongoing activities and future
needs critical to successful PEV adoption.
Austin Energy is able to deliver this federally
supported plan due to the outstanding support
and contributions from TRC partner utilities,
local and state governments, universities,
industry advisors, PEV drivers and all those
who support the PEV market.
What are Plug-in Electric Vehicles?
Hybrid and PEVs use electricity to charge
large battery packs that power an electric
motor. PEVs may plug into any power outlet or
connect to special equipment that allows for a
faster charging rate.
PEVs have the potential to double a home’s
electricity usage while at the same time
presenting an opportunity for managed
charging programs. Managed charging, or
“smart” charging programs, can reduce costs
by ensuring that vehicle charging occurs at
times when electricity prices are lower, for
example overnight.
Electric drive vehicles have great potential to
reduce U.S. petroleum imports, improve air
quality, improve utility operations and support
a healthy economy by stabilizing transportation
costs and promoting job growth. The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency rates all-
electric vehicles as zero-emission.

The purpose of this project is to identify,
assess, and summarize key stakeholders’
ongoing activities and future needs critical
to successful PEV adoption. The resulting
report, which can be downloaded at www.
texasrivercities.com, details an action plan
addressing infrastructure needs and policy
changes to support the adoption of PEVs. The
TRC Plan can be adapted and tailored to fit
other regions It includes needs analysis, best
practices, and stakeholder tools to develop the
PEV market in the TRC region. The TRC Plan is
composed of:
1. Needs Analysis, Typology and Best Practice Guide
2. Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Codes, Ordinances,
and Permitting Toolkit
3. Workplace and Multifamily Housing Issue Identification
4. New Utility Business Models with Third-Party PEV Infrastructures
5. EVSE Technology Interoperability Roadmap

This Plan represents one of the most
comprehensive Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment (EVSE) infrastructure assessments
to date in our industry. Stakeholders identified
the components for a roadmap leading to the
wide-spread adoption of PEVs for one of the
most innovative energy service corridors in the
country. Throughout the course of the project
several themes repeatedly emerged from
stakeholders and research.
Key Findings
1. PEVs are viable in Central Texas now
and are fun to drive. As supported by
the PEV owners survey conducted during
the planning process, PEV drivers are not
sacrificing trip mileage to drive the majority
of their miles in electric mode. The PEV
owners survey confirms that owners enjoy
driving PEVs and appreciate the vehicle’s
quiet, rapid acceleration. As more models
come on to the market, consumers will have
more choices and price points to meet their
demand. TRC partners expect increased
adoption as vehicle availability becomes
more uniform.
2. PEVs will become price competitive.
A recent McKinsey study forecasted
declining battery costs combined with a
$3.50 or more per gallon of gasoline price
will make PEVs a more economical choice in
years ahead. Price parity with conventional
vehicles – the single biggest determinant of
future market adoption – and/or attractive
lease options will help increase market
share, particularly if gas prices continue
their upward trend.
3. Charging infrastructure needs to be
seamless and easy to use. Stakeholders
identified a clear need for a convenient
network of charging infrastructure
throughout the TRC region. Utilities
have made initial investments in publicly
accessible infrastructure through support
from the U.S. Department of Energy. Absent
additional federal incentive programs,
future EVSE installations need to be
market-driven, particularly in the areas of
charging at workplaces and multifamily
properties. Public/private partnerships
between utilities, property managers and
infrastructure providers are essential.
Furthermore, EVSE should have a common
payment system as a convenience to PEV
owners throughout the TRC region.
4. Utilities need to monitor EVSE demands
and potential impact on the grid as PEV
adoption increases and faster charging
technologies become available. At this
time, partner electric utilities report no
major grid impacts due to PEV adoption.
Off-peak capacity is more than adequate to
support the emerging PEV market. However,
charge management programs and
policies will become crucial as the Electric
Reliability Council of Texas market does
not have the reserve capacity to support
future widespread on-peak charging. As for
potential grid issues, utilities will monitor
the installation and usage of EVSE and the
impacts on distribution grid operations. New
Fast-Charge technologies may also cause
localized grid impacts; therefore, utilities
will want to monitor the evolving EVSE
technology landscape closely. According to the Environmental and Energy Study Institute, electric
vehicles with a range of 60 miles can satisfy 83% of daily travel needs for
drivers. Further details about this chart can be found in the full report.
