August 8, 2013, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM, EDT (18:00-20:00 GMT)

This webinar will present a practical guide developed by the U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (DOE/FEMP) to help navigate the complexities of developing large renewable energy projects at Federal Facilities and attracting the necessary private capital to complete them. The guide is available for download from the DOE FEMP website.

In addition, two specific areas will be discussed in which renewable energy was sited on Federal sites with historic contamination:

• The Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR), a property historically used for military training activities, has renewable energy projects — wind, solar and geothermal — installed and in development by multiple organizations within the Department of Defense, the U.S Coast Guard and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The MMR site participated in the first EPA-NREL RE-Powering Feasibility Studies in 2009 and is among the first feasibility study sites to move forward with a renewable energy development project. For more information on that solar study, go to the RE-Powering Feasibility Study webpage or access the report directly.
• At the DOE Pantex site near Amarillo, Texas, an 11.5 MW wind energy farm is being developed to generate approximately 45 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, meeting more than 60% of the installation’s annual energy needs.
