  • Benchmarking is Best Practice Action 1 under Efficient Existing Public

Buildings in Minnesota GreenStep Cities

  • Benchmarking enables you to deriv

rive e metr etrics cs and conduct peer r comparis parisons

  • ns between other WWTPs in order to understand and

communicate your plants ener nergy gy performance

  • rmance to control and ultimately

reduc duce operat rating ng cost sts – in your WWTP and between other city buildings

  • A WWTP benchmark and associated metrics are being defined with the

intention of being incorporated into the B3 Energy Benchmarking Tool as a part of this project

  • State list of wastewater and stormwater projects

– State Revolving Fund (SRF) & Intend Use Plan (IUP) provides low interest loans up to 30 yr terms

  • Green Project Reserve (GPR) – 25% principle forgiveness

for energy efficiency and renewable energy features

– Wastewater Infrastructure Fund (WIF) provides affordability grants to high cost/high priority projects – Point Source Implementation Grants (PSIG) provides 50% grant with a max of $3 million per project

  • Other federal and state program use the PPL

PPL Technical Review and Approval

  • PPL = best blend of grant and/or loans for

municipal wastewater construction projects

  • E2 and RE project components can be

included in all projects and all programs

  • Facilities Planning has always required a cost

effectiveness analysis

  • Recent congressional and legislative actions

has only increased the importance of E2 & RE MPCA currently revising guidelines to add rigor…
