| This worksheet is used to capture information on Clean Energy Manufacturing and Recycling project proposals. Input data and assumptions should be substantiated in and show clear correspondence to applicant's project narrative. Applicant should first fill out the relevant user input (green) cells in the Project Overview tab. Next, applicant should fill out the user input cells in the Supply Chain, Community Benefits and Jobs, Emissions, and Voluntary Disclosure tabs, as well as the yellow tab that is specific to your Technology Area. Data will be extracted from this workbook to compare submissions. Therefore, no cells, rows, or columns should be added. |

Qualified Investment ($) |
|
|
Dollar amount of the qualified investment that "re-equips, expands, or establishes" the facility, as defined in 48C(b). |
|
Expected Credit Rate |
30% |
|
Applicants should select a 30% tax credit if they anticipate meeting the wage and apprenticeship requirements under 48C(e)(5) and (6). Applicants who do not anticipate meeting those requirements should select 6% from the dropdown. |
|
Tax Credit ($) |

Please list the direct jobs that will be created during both construction and operations of the facility. For retrofits/reequipped facilities, please list the number of current jobs for the purposes of calculating incremental operating jobs created by the project. Please be as specific as possible.
Direct jobs are those jobs represented by the number of people whose work is directly billed to the project.
Do not list Indirect Jobs, defined as employees included in the supply chain who are not directly billed to the project. Examples include:
- Producers of equipment or services that are used on the project
- Accounting or administrative services
- End-use installers
- Operating jobs unrelated to the project (for a GHG reduction project in a steel facility, do not count steelworkers not working on the GHG reduction)
The review team will calculate indirect jobs using a consistent methodology. |

Comment:
How do we capture the benefits of fuel switching? Cold climate heat pump might use a lot of electricity, but it should still have an emissions benefit relative to heating oil.
Reply:
Good point. I can add in fuel source for the system consumption, since different fuels have different emission factors
For fuel switching, it partly depends on assumptions the applicant makes e.g. will the cold climate heat pump manufacturer assume every heat pump will replace heating oil? Not sure how to tackle the baseline emissions factor there - might be a good argument for letting applicants tweak assumptions on the data sheet in the full application?

Note: Utility-scale technologies are evaluated using a 30-year investment recovery period. However, these technologies will remain in service as long as going-forward revenues (system value) exceed going-forward costs (variable and fixed operating costs). Thus actual service life may be shorter-than or substantially longer than 30-years. |
