ANSI SCTE 218:2015 pdf download.Alternative Energy, Taxes, Incentives, and Policy Reference Document.
This document provides cable operators with references and resources to evaluate alternative energy technology options based on a given geographic location, facility type, and existing or planned infrastructure. It functions as a selection tool to aid in describing various alternative energy technologies by recognizing which resources would have the greatest impact on reducing energy costs, electrical grid dependency and environmental impact, as well as improving system reliability and mitigating climate change risks.
Immediate and long term benefits of utilizing this document include:
• Potential for reducing electricity costs over conventional electric grid; lower transmission and distribution charges
• Potential for reducing carbon fuel consumption and emissions
• Potential for reducing dependency on electrical grid
• Potential for reducing purchase of high cost per kilowatt hour (kWh) power during peak usage periods
• Time saving in researching alternative energy technologies
• Time saving in identifying additional state and federal alternative energy incentives availability
This document impacts the industry and Cable’s Energy 2020 roadmap by potentially reducing the industry’s impact on the electrical grid during peak usage periods, enhancing the customer experience by improving reliability by generating power on site with less grid dependence and by reducing the environmental impact and mitigating climate change risks.
Some of the key provisions of this document are:
• Outlines decision-making priorities and evaluation strategies and provides rules, regulations and policies for both energy efficiency and alternative energy technologies
• Summary road map of Federal & State incentives and policies with links to information
o Includes links to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE), National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) research and development, and other alternative energy financial modeling tools
To achieve maximum benefit from this document, collaborate across regions either internally or with other multiple system operators (MSOs) and leverage lessons learned by in house personnel, project managers and vendors from prior MSO alternative energy deployments.
Additionally, partner with alternative energy technology manufacturers to develop costeffective, scalable and repeatable alternative energy solutions and develop standardized kits for deploying alternative energy technologies based on a given facility type and energy consumption needs.
This document will require regular maintenance and upgrades at a minimum on an annual basis.
