Energy Planning Proposal
Project: Alternative Energy Organization: City of Seattle, Washington Requestor/Sponsor: MAYORS NAME City of Seattle Mayor
Description of Request: Develop and implement an Alternative Energy Plan for City of Seattle. The potential stakeholders include small business owners, Fortune 500 companies including Apple, Boeing, Amazon, and numerous other large scale industries. The bases around the Seattle-Tacoma area host vital capabilities toward the nation's defense from all branches of service. Service members and their families will benefit from a safe and efficient source of energy that will be cost efficient and safe for all residents. ("Welcome To The Beautiful Pacific Northwest", 2013) Approximately 850,000 residents will be supported by the new Alternative Energy Plan.
Background of Request: The stakeholders are people who are interested in making money to benefit the company. In Seattle, everyone likes to complain about how hot it gets in the summer and how cold it gets in the winter. And we laugh at how the rest of the country thinks that it rains all the time here, right up until November, when it is raining all the time. But what does that mean for energy efficiency? The basis for this Alternative Energy Plan is to ensure that the City of Seattle can resolve the issues of cost, safety, efficiency and conservation.

Resources: In 2013, the Alternative Energy Plan will be supplied from four resources: Geothermal Energy from the Raft River project in Idaho. Water heated deep in the earth's crust is pumped up and used to heat a "binary liquid" which forms a gas at lower temperatures than water. As this vapor expands, it spins a turbine which generates electricity. ("Seattle City Light/Seattle Green Power", 2013) Biogas
