Offshore Renewables for Community Benefit
“Beyond Cape Wind” Process & 2020 Goals
Stakeholder Process• “Beyond Cape Wind” approach depolarizes discussion, finds
common ground, and sets 2020 goals
• EPRI-funded Cape & Islands Energy Technology Strategy Project defines RDD&D priorities
Regional Goals for 2020• Reduce direct fossil fuel use for heating and transport
by 50%, relative to 2007 baseline• Develop renewable resources to meet 100% of net
annual electricity needs
Cape & Islands Energy Technology Strategy Project – 2020 Budgets & Priorities
• 2007 Inventory 2020 Budgets• Energy-Intensive Economy: 61 trillion Btu • Heavy Carbon Footprint: 3.9 million MT• High Energy Bill: $1.35 billion
• 50% Heating - 10.4 TBtu in 2020• Fix existing buildings, switch to lower-
carbon sources
• 50% Transport - 11.5 TBtu in 2020• Accelerated transition to clean vehicles,
including plug hybrids
• 100% Green Power - No Limit in 2020• Offshore wind is critical path for electricity
independence, transport electrification

• Cape Wind-size project could meet total 2020 needs if sales decline
• Community-scale projects could meet needs of most individual towns
• “Beyond Cape Wind” deployment required
• Electrify transport: ~100 MW for 25% plug hybrids
• Achieve state goal: 500 MW for “2000 by 2020”
• Barriers to overcome • Community acceptance• Cost-competitiveness• Technology

Community Benefit Considerations for Developing Offshore Renewables
“Visions of Success” (6/18 Forum)
• Community-based siting, planning, construction, and operations
• Creation of jobs and additional economic activity
• Stabilization/reduction of electric rates through long-term contracts
• Minimal or no adverse impacts on community character and cultural values
• No adverse impacts on navigation and sustainable fishing
• Protection of habitats and species• Positive effects on real estate market and
recreational fishing• Revenues for addressing energy justice
and environmental issuesTalisman Energy
Integrating Community Benefits at Local, Regional, State & Federal Levels
• Launch coordinated and proactive community planning processes
• Empower stakeholders and the public
• Participate on state-federal task force (MOMP-MMS)
• Establish right of first refusal (MOMP)
• Develop performance standards (MOMP and MMS multiple-factor auctions)
• Secure fixed percentage of leasing and operating revenues (MOMP)

Community Benefit Responses
• Inform final MOMP and MOMP-MMS implementation
• Consensus statement and legislative breakfast
• Pursue planning and development of community-scale projects
• Edgartown
• Create infrastructure to support local ownership and power purchasing
• Vineyard Clean Energy Cooperative
• Integrate offshore renewables in economic development plans
• Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
