The following table may be used to determine eligibility for a permanent exemption based on oil and natural gas savings. Average Annual Utilization of Oil and Natural Gas for Electricity Generation by State [BTU's per KWHR sold] State name Oil/gas savings Btu/kWh Alabama33 Arizona802 Arkansas1,363 California3,502 Colorado289 Connecticut3,924 Delaware3,478 Washington, DC.895 Florida3,177 Georgia45 Idaho0 Illinois250 Indiana53 Iowa147 Kansas686 Kentucky34 Louisiana4,189 Maine2,560 Maryland895 Massachusetts5,250 Michigan256 Minnesota151 Mississippi1,519 Missouri57 Montana60 Nebraska139 Nevada761 New Hampshire2,695 New Jersey1,894 New Mexico1,528 New York4,219 North Carolina49 North Dakota47 Ohio36 Oklahoma5,180 Oregon0 Pennsylvania771 Rhode Island1,800 South Carolina24 South Dakota36 Tennessee20 Texas4,899 Utah107 Vermont105 Virginia460 Washington3 West Virginia126 Wisconsin72 Wyoming75 Data are based upon 1987 oil, natural gas and electricity statistics published by DOE's Energy Information Administration.
Example:The proposed cogeneration project is to be located in Massachusetts and is to use distillate oil. It will have a capacity of 50 MW, an average annual heat rate of 7600 BTU/KWHR, and be operated at a capacity factor of 90%. The annual fuel consumption is therefore calculated to be 2,996 × 10 9 Btu/yr. (50,000 KW × 7600 BTU/KWHR × .9 × 8760 HR/YR) The oil and gas backed off the grid would be calculated to be .2070 × 10 9 BTU/YR. (50,000 KW × 5250 BTU/KWHR × .9 × 8760 HR/YR) since the proposed unit would consume more oil that would be “backed off” the grid, the unit would not be eligible for a permanent exemption based on savings of oil and natural gas.
