Guam 100 Initiative

GPA Clean Energy Master Plan, UN SDGs, and Justice40

The Guam Power Authority’s Clean Energy Master Plan (CEMP) is a comprehensive plan for transitioning Guam from legacy fossil fuel fired generation to renewable energy and non-greenhouse gas emissions electric energy supply. The Clean Energy Master Plan is a living document and is continuously being updated. GPA is committed to providing 50% of the island’s electric power from renewable or non greenhouse gas emissions sources by 2030 and 100% by 2040.

The CEMP is a balanced plan including targets for renewable energy, energy resilience and security, energy efficiency, grid transformation, energy affordability, digital transformation, and transportation electrification. The CEMP is comprised of the following volumes or topic areas:

• Volume 1 – Generation System Reliability, Adequacy and Resiliency

• Volume 2 – Generation Expansion Plan

• Volume 3 – Addendum to the 2018 Environmental Strategic Plan

• Volume 4 – Demand Side Management Plan

• Volume 5 – Medium Range Distribution Plan

• Volume 6 – Information/Operational Technology Plan

• Volume 7 – Strategic Plan

• Volume 8 – Electric Vehicle Road Map

• Volume 9 – Net Metering Plan

• 
  

The CEMP supports the following United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

• SDG #7 - Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

• SDG #13 - Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

• 
  

The CEMP also supports the federal Justice40 Initiative. Section 223 of the Biden Administration Executive Order 14008 established the Justice40 Initiative directing 40% of the overall benefits of certain Federal investments in clean energy and energy efficiency; clean transit; affordable and sustainable housing; training and workforce development; the remediation and reduction of legacy pollution; and the development of clean water infrastructure – to flow to disadvantaged communities (DACs). Guam is a disadvantaged community.

Driven by its response to the U.S. U.S. Department of Energy’s Justice40 Policy Priorities, Guam Power Authority is developing grant proposals to obtain federal infrastructure grant funding for: affordable clean energy, energy efficiency, transportation electrification, clean energy training and workforce development, and the remediation and reduction of legacy pollution to support funding GPA’s energy transition. The Table below illustrates GPA’s Response to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Justice40
