Benefits Matrix

May 2016

Through the RE-Powering America's Land initiative, the EPA encourages renewable energy development on potentially contaminated land, landfills, and mine sites when aligned with the community's vision for the
site. Using publically available information, RE-Powering maintains a list of completed renewable energy installations on contaminated sites and landfills and compiles this information in its Project Tracking Matrix.
The following list tracks benefits associated with completed sites identified and reported by parties directly involved with their respective projects (e.g., information from the associated city, town, or county; site
owners; developers; utilities; and/or financiers) or from other EPA resources. Common benefits reported include revenues from land leases and taxes, electricity cost savings associated with the reduced need
to purchase power from the grid, job creation, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, et al. This resource is for informational purposes only. Please note that the benefits listed here are not a comprehensive
representation of all benefits associated with completed renewable energy projects on contaminated lands and such benefits are calculated in various ways; nevertheless, this list illustrates the
breadth of benefits being realized and highlighted across the country by those developing these types of installations.
