Handling Instructions The title of this document is [FACILITY NAME] Energy Resiliency Plan. This document is classified as For Official Use Only and may not be copied or distributed without the consent of [FACILITY NAME].

Section 1 – Plan Overview

Purpose This document describes the systems and processes needed to support continued operations at [FACILITY NAME] during periods of municipal power interruption. Although the facility is well-prepared to handle a short-term power disruption, a changing climate and the attendant severe weather and other events have increased the likelihood of a catastrophic emergencies resulting in widespread and long power outages. To mitigate the consequences of these events, this plan specifies the current configuration of the facility’s Emergency Power Supply System (EPSS) and provides recommendations to further enhance the emergency resiliency of [FACILITY NAME] during emergencies and disasters.

Policy This plan will be referenced as applicable for situations affecting the EPSS both during normal operations and emergency or disaster situations. [FACILITY NAME] leadership will review this plan at least annually. This plan will be updated regularly in response to changes at [FACILITY NAME].

2 [FACILITY NAME] Energy Resiliency Plan 2015 Scope This plan is designed to assist [FACILITY NAME] staff in their ability to provide continued operations during periods of municipal power interruption. Details described in this plan pertain specifically to [FACILITY NAME] and should not be applied elsewhere.

Section 2 – Current Operating Configuration This section will outline the current configuration of [FACILITY NAME]’s Emergency Power Supply System (EPSS), the areas of the facility that are supported by the EPSS, the areas of the facility that are not supported by the EPSS and contingencies for non-supported areas during municipal power failure.

Emergency Power Generation Item Description Generator Brand Generator Size (kW) Generator Location Monitoring Panel Location(s) Date of Installation Fuel Type Fuel Supply (in gallons) Docking Station / Pigtail Location (if applicable) Switchgear Location

Supported Departments, Areas and Systems The following departments, areas and systems are fully supported by the EPSS and will be supplied with electricity during municipal power interruption:

Area / Department / System Explanation of Coverage

Non-Supported Departments, Areas and Systems The following departments, areas and systems are not supported by the EPSS and therefore will be inoperable during municipal power interruption:

Area / Department / System Contingencies

Section 3 - EPSS Sustainability This section will outline the parameters and metrics associated with [FACILITY NAME]’s ability to maintain operations during municipal power failure.

Fuel Sufficiency The following parameters govern the overall operating capacity of the EPSS:

Item Description Generator Fuel Consumption at Full Operating Load (in gallons per hour) Generator Fuel Supply Capacity (in gallons) Maximum Operating Time without Refueling

Maintenance and Upkeep While the generator is running, staff should periodically conduct a visual inspection from a safe distance, checking for any leaks, uncommon noises or vibrations. The following tasks should be performed at appropriate intervals (when the generator is off and after the manufacturer recommended cool off period) to ensure continued generator operations without interruption. These tasks do not supersede any similar tasks outlined by the generator manufacturer or similar recommendations for other components of the EPSS. These tasks may be performed by [FACILITY NAME] staff:

Section 4 – Considerations for Extending EPSS Operating Times

Energy Conservation Most generator manufacturers agree that the best method to ensure the generator functions correctly is to maintain a full load during operations. However, during extraordinary situations the facility may need to take certain measures to extend the fuel life of the generator until refueling can occur. It is generally acknowledged that such measures may impact mechanical components over time. However, the following measures may be used to temporarily extend the operating time of the generator to avoid shut-down due to a lack of fuel. The following actions may be taken to reduce generator load and subsequent fuel consumption:

Alternative Energy Sources Installation of alternative energy systems may serve to augment resiliency during municipal power interruptions. Prior to installing all systems [MUNICIPAL PROVIDER, E.G., National Grid] should be contacted to identify any potential issues with the municipal power system that may affect stand-alone operations.

Type of Energy Source Installation Cost Estimate Benefit Dual-fuel Generator May operate on municipal gas system for extended operation or diesel fuel during gas system interruption Solar Power May operate independently, providing the facility can use the power prior to it being redistributed through the municipal grid Combined Heat and Power Provides emergency power and Unit heating capabilities

8 [FACILITY NAME] Energy Resiliency Plan 2015 Energy Efficiency Considerations By investing in the following initiatives, the facility will both decrease its annual energy costs and reduce the burden placed on the EPSS during municipal power outages:

Area / Item Installation Cost Estimate Benefit Window Replacement Reduced heat and cooling loss and subsequent burden on fuel / EPSS systems LED Lighting Reduces the load on the EPSS and reduces the long-term cost of bulb replacement throughout the facility.
