RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX APRIL 2022 *>EPA United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Communications, Partnerships, and Analysis Office of Land and Emergency Management ------- RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX APRIL 2022 Across the United States, communities are generating revenue, realizing energy cost savings, and creating jobs when redeveloping formerly contaminated sites with renewable energy projects.1 Community goals such as meeting a local clean energy goal, cleaning up a former brownfield, or protecting greenspace may stimulate action on a project. If you are considering developing a renewable energy project in your community, the information presented here can be used to educate stakeholders on the benefits of redeveloping formerly contaminated sites. EPA's RE-Powerina America's Land Initiative fRE-Powerina Initiative) presents the latest benefits findings from publicly available information from fact sheets, case studies and other resources on 419 projects across the country. In this Report Summary findings show nearly 44% of projects reporting energy cost savings. The list of projects details community benefits for hundreds of projects. Examples of sites across the country exhibit benefits in a variety of technology types—wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal. If you are considering developing a renewable energy project in your community, the list may help you locate an example project in your community or a nearby community. Further, you can cross-reference the site benefit information with additional information in the October 2021 Tracking Matrix- Read information about environmental justice . community solar projects and mine-scarred lands. ENERGY COST SAVINGS REPORTED AT: 44% OF SOLAR PROJECTS 35% OF WIND PROJECTS m 419 PROJECTS HAVE REPORTED BENEFITS TO COMMUNITIES Energy cost savings are consistently one of the top three reported benefits for renewable energy projects. Other benefits include job creation, revenue from land leases and taxes, and environmental benefits including reduced greenhouse gas emissions. 1 To date,the RE-Powering Initiative has identified 459 renewable energy installations on contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites with a cumula- tive installed capacity of 1,973.0 megawatts (MW) in a total of 46 U.S. states and territories. In this document, installation and project refer to a single renewable energy tech no logy installation, while site and location refer to a single contaminated property. A site or location may have more than one installation or project. For example, the former Dave Johnston Mine (one site) has three separate wind installations, two of which reported benefits that are highlighted here. The RE-Powering Initiative list tracks completed projects where renewable energy systems have been installed on contaminated sites.

Note that the benefits reported may have been calculated using different methods and/or expressed in different units; therefore, a cumulative expression of the total benefits achieved by renewable energy projects on contaminated lands is not possible from publicly available sources. In addition, the specific benefits of each project can vary due to a number of factors, including electricity prices, site clean-up status, incentives and policies such as renewable portfolio standards, development costs, availability of transmission and infrastructure, and renewable energy technology type and capacity. 4 I Office of Communications, Partnerships, and Analysis Office of Land and Emergency Management SERA ------- RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX APRIL 2022 Inside the Numbers RE-Powering has documented benefits for 41 renewable energy projects on contaminated land installations currently tracked in the RE-Powering Tracking Matrix. Many installations publicly reported multiple benefits; as such, the RE- Powering Benefits Matrix includes citations of 704 total reported benefits. In addition to these, many expected benefits have not been publicly reported. Benefits are anticipated for every renewable energy project on contaminated land, including energy cost savings, revenue, greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, or a combination of these. Although not comprehensive of all realized benefits, the following charts represent a snapshot of the types of benefits stakeholders are touting publicly as measures of success. Many of these contaminated lands redeveloped with renewable energy were no longer revenue generators for the community or their owners. Renewable energy provides a unique opportunity for a return to revenue. For RE-Powering sites, revenue can typically be broken into three categories tax or payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT), lease or renewable energy credits (RECs).

Office of Communications, Partnerships, and Analysis Office of Land and Emergency Management ------- RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX APRIL 2022 RE-Powering Projects Benefit Underserved Communities EPA's RE-Powering America's Land Initiative encourages renewable energy development on current and formerly contaminated lands, landfills and mine sites when such development is aligned with the community's vision for the site. The Initiative identifies the renewable energy potential of thousands of sites included in the RE-Powering mapper tool. And provides other useful resources such as the Tracking Matrix. Best Practices and trainings for communities, developers, industry, state and local governments or anyone interested in reusing these sites for renewable energy development. Communities near contaminated sites are typically overburdened and underserved, creating environmental justice concerns. "Approximately 60 percent of the sites to receive funding for new cleanup projects are in historically underserved communities." (source: EPA news release on Superfund investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, 12.17.21). For example, more than 1 in 4 Black and Hispanic Americans live within three miles of a Superfund site, a higher share than the overall population, and thousands of these contaminated sites exist nationally. EPA is investing $1 billion to initiate cleanup and clear the backlog of 49 previously unfunded Superfund sites and advance progress at dozens of other sites. Renewable energy development offers many advantages to communities interested in finding a beneficial reuse for contaminated sites. The benefits from placing renewable energy on contaminated lands are numerous and range from revenue generated to environmental protection benefits. The RE-Powering Initiative seeks to encourage renewable energy development on these underutilized lands in communities with environmental justice concerns.This can be achieved by providing data, tools, best practices, case studies, examples of benefits and outreach resources to encourage renewable energy development on contaminated lands, landfills and mining sites (collectively "RE-Powering sites"). Below are a few of examples of RE-Powering sites reporting benefits that assist the overburdened and underserved in their communities. 3.6 acre Oxon Run brown f elds site. Photo credit: DOEE DC. Oxon Run, Washington, DC The Oxon Run community solar installation is the largest clean energy project in the District focused on serving neighborhood residents.The 2.65 MW solar installation covers approximately 3.6 acres of an underutilized brownfields site with solar panels. About 750 eligible low- to moderate-income households will receive up to $500 a year to help reduce electricity bills by half. The project had local subcontractor hiring requirements and preference points. The system reduces air pollution and asthma by reducing electricity from fossil fuels. The environmental benefits include approximately 30,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions avoided. This is equivalent to removing more than 6,300 cars from the road for a year, or to planting 777,000 tree seedlings grown for 10 years. Site redevelopment also included beautification of the area through the restoration of native pollinator plantings and planting pollinator meadows, native plant and shrub landscaping throughout.The solar installation went online in 2020.

Subscribers in the community solar program benefit from the clean energy produced and save 10-15% on their regular electric costs. This site is also part of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) Solar for All program, with 1 MW of the project reserved specifically for income-eligible NY residents who apply through NYSERDA. Income-eligible New Yorkers can save up to $180 annually through the Solar for All program. The 5.6 MW installation reduces 10,044,000 pounds (lbs) of carbon dioxide (C02) annually. Norwood Community Solar in Norwood, Colorado The rural electric cooperative San Miguel Power Association partnered with GRID Alternatives to develop this 0.2-MW community solar array that will reduce energy costs for 30-40 income-qualified households. Subscriptions of up to 2 kW of generation per household are free of charge to qualified applicants and allow access for five years, after which residents may reapply. Coyote Ridge Solar in Fort Collins, Colorado Located on nine acres of landfill buffer in Fort Collins, CO, this 1.96-MW community solar partnership was planned and developed by electric cooperative Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association and GRID Alternatives. The subscriber model includes 70% of output earmarked for nonprofit and low-income customers. The project also provided more than 1,000 hours of hands-on solar job training during construction. Office of Communications, Partnerships., and Analysis Office of Land and Emergency Management ------- RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX APRIL 2022 Community Solar Model Aides in Addressing Environmental Justice Concerns Many of the RE-Powering sites that are serving the overburdened and underserved communities use a community solar model.This model is well suited to assist communities and individuals with both reducing power costs and providing renewable energy options where they would otherwise not exist. The U.S. Department of Energy defines community solar as any solar project or purchasing program, within a geographic area, in which the benefits of a solar project flow to multiple customers such as individuals, businesses, nonprofits and other groups. In most cases, customers are benefitting from energy generated by solar panels at an off-site array. Community solar allows everyone to benefit from solar energy, even if they cannot install solar panels on their property. Community solar customers subscribe or lease a portion of the solar panels in the array, and they typically receive an electric bill credit for electricity generated by their share of the community solar system— like someone who has rooftop panels installed on their home. Programs may also have options for selling or donating subscriptions. Community solar can make a positive impact in low- and moderate-income (LMI) areas. Community solar can overcome financing, contract flexibility, project size and siting challenges that largely shut out LMI homes, apartments and small businesses from the solar market, while offering added local economic development benefits if the community solar project itself is located in LMI areas. The RE-Powerina Initiative provides data, tools, best practices, case studies and outreach resources to encourage renewable energy development on RE-Powering sites. RE-Powering sites are uniquely suited for siting community solar because they are frequently located in or near LMI areas, often do not have other reuse options due to contamination or restrictions on the property and are located near transmission lines and population centers. RE-Powering sites represent a large and varied collection of sites that include former Superfund sites, brownfields, landfills, and mine sites, as well as other formerly contaminated sites under various federal and state cleanup. 8 I Office of Communications, Partnerships, and Analysis Office of Land and Emergency Management Mine Scarred Lands Incentives, Initiatives and Projects As many states and communities are moving toward more sustainable energy options and even net-zero energy production, mine-scarred lands are becoming attractive options for siting renewable energy. Often a skilled technical workforce is located nearby, infrastructure is in place and the mine lands have been graded and could be suitable for solar panels and wind turbines with little additional surface disturbance needed. Looking to the future, the RE-Powering Initiative hopes these mine lands become a major part of the benefits matrix. Currently, EPA's RE-Powering Initiative is tracking several renewable energy projects on former coal mine lands in the Appalachian Basin that are in various stages of development. Several groups and states are working to create incentives and initiatives that take advantage of the unique conditions surrounding mine-scarred lands. For example, through its Mining the Sun Initiative. The Nature Conservancy is working with partners to make it easier to put renewable energy facilities on already developed sites across Nevada, rather than on healthy, undeveloped lands that are important for clean water, open space and wildlife. In Nevada, closed mining lands offer the biggest opportunity for this use. Even in the Appalachian Coal Basin, where coal has been a dominate energy source for decades, renewable energy is seeing support. With its mountainous terrain and extensive coal mining legacy, there are few places that may seem less hospitable for renewable energy than West Virginia. However, West Virginia's long coal mining history has created optimal conditions for solar development—several hundred square miles of previously cleared mine lands waiting for redevelopment. Many of these abandoned mine lands have existing infrastructure, including roads and transmission lines, and are in proximity to major markets for energy. SERA ------- RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX APRIL 2022 Coal mining operation in West Virginia. Photo credit: Kate Wellington. West Virginia leaders, businesses and communities are beginning to explore this opportunity. For example. West Virginia Senate Bill 583 has preferential utility cost recovery to encourage development of up to 400 MW of solar on former mining sites, closed landfills, brownfields, hazardous waste sites and certain other preferred sites. Virginia is also working to install renewable energy on abandoned coal mine lands. The Nature Conservancy and Dominion Energy Virginia are collaborating to develop utility-scale solar projects on former surface mines in the coalfields of Southwest Virginia. One such project is the Highlands Solar project, which will repurpose roughly 1,200 acres of the former Red Onion surface mine and surrounding properties in Wise and Dickenson Counties. The project will generate approximately 50 MW of solar energy, enough to power 12,500 homes at peak output. Additional benefits to the area include an increase in local tax revenues, the ability to provide additional funding through Solar Siting Agreements and the creation of clean energy jobs. This project will support the goals of the Virginia Clean Economy Act, which requires Dominion Energy Virginia and American Electric Power to retire electric generating units located in the Commonwealth that emit carbon as a by-product of combusting fuel to generate electricity by 2045 and 2050, respectively. In Kentucky, the old Martiki coal mine is slated to become the Martin County Solar Project, a 200 MW solar farm on 1,200 acres. The project is projected to produce enough energy to power the equivalent of more than 33,000 Kentucky homes and create 11 fulltime Kentucky Jobs. Construction is expected to begin in 2022, and the solar project should be commercially operational by early 2024. As more mine lands are mined out or closed due to a declining market, the RE-Powering Initiative looks to help identify both policy to support the development of these lands and identify the lands themselves that might be suitable for renewable energy development. vvEPA Office of Communications, Partnerships., and Analysis Office of Land and Emergency Management ------- RE-POWERING AMERICA'S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX APRIL 2022 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.
