  • Meijer Renewable Energy Strategy
    Meijer Renewable Energy Strategy Client: Meijer Inc. Master’s Project Final Report April 2018 A project submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree of Master of Science (School for Environment and Sustainability) University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability Student Team: Chun Yin Anson Chang, Xiaodan Zhou, Geoffrey Murray Advisors: Professor Greg Keoleian Michael Elchinger, National Renewable Energy Laboratory Abstract As one of the largest energy consumers in the Midwest, Meijer is seeking opportunities to decrease its fossil fuel based electricity consumption. The SEAS MS project team worked to identify and evaluate opportunities to expand Meijer's renewable energy portfolio by understanding the current state of energy consumption, benchmarking Meijer with their competition, and developing a tailored renewable energy strategy to meet Meijer's sustainability goals. The scope of this project included understanding the baseline of Meijer's electricity consumption, evaluating on-site generation opportunities, evaluating off-site procurement opportunities, and developing a pre-development guide tool to be used to analyze specific projects before making investments into project development. The project resulted in a per year prioritization list that considered the economic benefit of potential projects at every store site given annual budgetary constraints and project NPVs, an analysis of off-site Power Purchase Agreement opportunities, a comprehensive renewable energy strategy for on-site and off-site renewable energy generation, and an excel based pre-development guide to further analyze specific projects. Executive Summary The School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) team worked with Meijer, Inc. to continue the work of improving energy sustainability at Meijer. The 2014 SNRE team that previously worked with Meijer identified energy consumption as the sustainability category with the greatest environmental impacts (SNRE Team 2015).
