Dana College Campus , Blair, Nebraska - Aerial View

The former Dana College is a 151 acre campus designed for a maximum capacity of 1,265 full-time students (765

residential and 500 commuter), and 300 administrators, faculty and staff. Decades of deferred maintenance, damages

due to the Hail Storm of June 3, 2014, and vandalism have reduced near-term capacity of the campus to 334 residential

and 250 commuter students, and 100 full- and part-time administrators, faculty and staff.

Current building condition reports (October 2015 – February 2016) prepared by McKinnis Roofing, Inc. and Kiewit

Building Group, Inc. indicate that an estimated $7.5 to $9.3 million is required to restore and/or secure core campus

facilities from further damage, and to provide occupancy at near-term capacity. An additional investment of an estimated

$6.5 to $7.5 million could achieve an occupancy of 600 residential and 500 commuter students, and 300 administrators,

faculty and staff. Full campus recovery to 765 residential students may not be financially feasible.

The United Nations Sustainable Energy for All (UN-SE4ALL)

Initiative is a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) designed to

stimulate $1 trillion in new investments in energy efficiency and

renewable energy by 2024. The Initiative was launched by United

Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in 2011.

The UN-SE4ALL Initiative has three goals: (1) To achieve universal

energy access for over 1.2 Billion people; (2) To double annual

global investment in energy efficiency; and (3) To double world

production of renewable energy. The Initiative is targeting the

year 2030 to complete these three goals.

See Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSGEWw_zW58

One of the key goals of the UN-SE4ALL Initiative is facilitating the

development of the institutional capacity necessary for

implementing policies and programs, and initiating projects that

are commensurate for the SE4All goals in all opted-in countries.

To achieve this goal, Knowledge Management hubs are required

to support the development, implementation and documentation

of best practices, and to facilitate the sharing of the successes. To

facilitate this process, SE4ALL is organized as follows:

The Capacity Building Hub for Sustainable Energy: The Hub was

launched by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and TERI

University. Over 1,000 global leaders, experts and energy

practitioners are participating in the deliberations that include

representatives from government, business, international

organizations and civil society groups, to review progress and

share innovative solutions.

The Energy Conservation Center, Japan: The ECCJ serves as the

Energy Efficiency Facilitating Hub of SE4All to help improve

energy efficiency in the world by offering technical advice and

assistance to cities, regions or countries to establish or implement

energy efficiency policies and measures. It has been conducting

capacity building and projects on energy efficiency with policy

makers around the world for more than a decade.

Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency (C2E2): A joint activity of

the Danish Government, the United Nations Environment

Programme (UNEP) and the Technical University of Denmark

(DTU), the C2E2 is dedicated to accelerating the uptake of energy

efficiency policies and programs at a global scale. C2E2 is the

SE4ALL thematic hub for energy efficiency.

The proposed Renewable Nations Institute at Dana College will seek to become the fourth Capacity Building Hub of the UN-SE4ALL

Initiative, a “Project Accelerator Hub” providing an integrated set of “Commitments” and “Deliverables” in Enabling Action Areas in

Energy Planning and Policies, in Capacity Building and Knowledge Sharing, and for developing investment-grade project proposals.

Page 13: Stakeholder Report - March 2016 - RENEWABLE NATIONS …...Campus Photo Portfolio 1.10 Clinton Global Initiative - University (CGI-U) 3.10 Organizational Ecosystem 5.10 Section 2: Sustainable

The Concept: The concept for the Renewable Nations Institute at

Dana College is a Work-College modeled after Department of

Education Title 34, Subtitle B, Chapter VI, Part 675, Subpart C,

§675.41, in which at least one-half of all students who are enrolled

on a full-time basis are required to participate in a comprehensive

Work-Learning-Service program for at least five hours each week.

Work-Learning-Service: The proposed Work-Learning-Service of

the Institute is to provide support services for national scale

transition planning to a low-carbon economy for the targeted 77

low- and middle-income UN-SE4ALL member countries,

including internship support for the development of investment-

grade proposals for funding under the UN-SE4ALL project fund.

US-SE4ALL: The proposed Hub will include the formation of the

U.S. Partnership for Sustainable Energy for All (US-SE4ALL) and

the proposed US-SE4ALL International Service Center. The Service

Center, to be located in the urban core of the City of Omaha

(NE), will host permanent offices from UN-SE4ALL member

country stakeholders to accelerate global project implementation.

Academic Programs : The Institute will offer a Certificate in Energy

Planning & Policies; an Associate of Science in Sustainable Energy;

a Bachelor of Science in Energy and Sustainability; and a Master

of Science in Sustainable Energy Development. All programs are

proposed to be offered through legacy collegiate institutions in

the State of Nebraska, as feasible.

Financial Sustainability: The Institute will seek a set-aside from the

UN-SE4ALL project fund in the amount of $500 million to finance

projects developed with the support of the Institute’s Work-

Learning-Service interns. A revolving loan fund for the project

development will yield approx. of $25 million annually after 7

years under a Payback+5x5 ESCO program..

Organizational Structure: The Global Challenge Award, Inc., is a

Vermont-based, federally registered, tax-exempt, not-for-profit

501(c)(3) corporation, d.b.a. Renewable Nations Institute at Dana

College. SolarQuest L3C is a Vermont-based low-profit, limited

liability company organized under Vermont State Statues to serve

the educational mission of the Global Challenge Award, Inc.

Project ERGAL Wind Turbine Construction (2008)

Project ERGAL (Renewable Energy Galapagos): This innovative

effort led to the articulation of the Renewable Nations Institute

with the mission to leverage America’s high-performing

undergraduate and graduate students in a study abroad mission

to provide technical assistance and human capacity building

services for low- and middle-income developing countries and in

First Nations.

Project ERGAL students provided background project research –

integrated energy systems and power grid demand and

consumption modeling, and socioeconomic and environmental

impact studies, and the preparation of investment-quality

proposals – for what became the first Clean Solar-Wind-Diesel

Mini-Grid installation in Latin America under the Clean

Development Mechanisms (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol.

Unprecedented international stakeholder cooperation across all

sectors – government, donor, industry, civil society and academic

and partners – provided the Work-Service-Learning model for

the United Nations Sustainable Energy for ALL (UN SE4ALL)

Initiative.

Subsequent to Project ERGAL, the United Nations General

Assembly unanimously declared the decade 2014-2024 as the

Decade of Sustainable Energy for All United Nations (UN)

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Sustainable Energy for All Forum

on June 4-6, 2014. SolarQuest L3C officially became a capacity

partner on June 12, 2015.

THE UNITED STATES PARTNERSHIP FOR SUSTAINABLE

ENERGY FOR ALL

International Service Center Omaha, Nebraska

(proposed)

A proposal for the United States Partnership for Sustainable

Energy for All (US-SE4ALL) will be submitted to the Office of the

Secretary-General of the United Nations as a joint proposal of

SolarQuest L3C and co-sponsoring stakeholders.

The US-SE4ALL is a proposed collaborative effort among U.S.

government, industry, academic and civil society stakeholders to

stimulate an estimated $200 billion in foreign and domestic

investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy projects as

the core “United States SE4ALL Commitment Proposal” under the

United Nations SE4ALL Initiative.

The Dana College campus will serve as the US-SE4ALL support

center for a proposed International Service Center under

consideration for development within the urban core of the City

of Omaha. The International Service Center will maintain

recruitment offices at Governor’s Island (New York, NY) and at the

Presidio (San Francisco, CA) under the shadow of the United

Nations Headquarters and access to the Pacific Rim. Greater than

30% of the nation’s 22 million college and university students are

with a 200 mile radius of New York City and San Francisco (CA).

The proposed US-SE4ALL International Service Center will host

delegates from 77 low- and middle-income sovereign member

nations of the United Nations. Government delegates will be

invited from the following foreign ministries – agriculture,

commerce, energy, environment, education, finance and the

executive branch of government. – and academic, industry and

civil society stakeholders.

The Institute’s Productivity-centered Service-learning (PCSL)

pedagogy is designed with the goal to engage students in the

preparation of investment-grade proposals on behalf of client

nations for funding under the SE4ALL project fund and other

Clean Development Mechanisms (CDMs). The Institute will

achieve this goal by replicating the U.S. Department of Energy

(DOE) Industry Assessment Centers (IACs) program under a

performance-based Energy Services Company (ESCO) model.

Work-Learning-Service assignments will engage student interns –

designated as US-SE4ALL and/or UN-SE4ALL Fellows – in every

aspect of SE4ALL project implementation, from coordinating

Country Actions to Monitoring and Reporting. Fellows will intern

at both the Dana College campus and the International Service

Center in the City of Omaha.

Economic Impact

The proposed Institute and SE4ALL International Service Center are projected to create an estimated 800 direct jobs in the Greater

Omaha Metropolitan Area. Based upon 30-years of data from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industry Assessments Centers

(IACs) program, over 681,000 construction and manufacturing jobs are created and or saved per $1 billion dollars invested in energy

efficiency services. The US Partnership for SE4ALL is projected to support the creation and/or retention of 68 million domestic

construction and manufacturing jobs through 2030.

S t a t e m e n t o f N e e d

Statement of Need: The U.S. Survey of Energy Management Capacity at Industrial Facilities conducted by the Department

of Energy indicated that only 1.7% of industrial facilities managers are highly sophisticated in BIM (Building Information

Management) services; 15% are at early stages of commitment; and 83.3% have little or no capacity. The energy

management capacity of industrial facilities managers and managers across all sectors in the targeted low- and middle-

income targeted UN-SE4ALL member countries is likely to be far less.

Furthermore, the need for trained professionals across all sectors of the emerging energy efficiency and renewable

energy industries – government, law, finance, insurance, education, industry and labor – is constraining the potential for

economic growth and compromising the ability of all nations to achieve UN-SE4ALL objectives. The Institute will take a

multi-sector approach to technical assistance and human capacity building services as a key “Accelerator Hub” strategy.

Wo r k - C o l l e g e M o d e l

The former Dana College campus is proposed to be repurposed

as the Renewable Nations Institute at Dana College and operate

under a modified federal Work-College model.

United States Department of Education Title 34, Subtitle B,

Chapter VI, Part 675, Subpart C, §675.41 defines a Work-College

as a public or private nonprofit, four-year, degree-granting

institution with a commitment to community service that, among

other requirements:

(1) Requires at least one-half of all students who are enrolled on a

full-time basis to participate in a comprehensive Work-Learning-

Service program for at least five hours each week, or at least 80

hours during each period of enrollment; (2) provides students

participating in the Work-Learning-Service program with the

opportunity to contribute to their education and to the welfare of

the community as a whole; (3) includes learning objectives,

evaluation and a record of work performance as part of the

student's college record; (4) provides programmatic leadership by

college personnel at levels comparable to traditional academic

programs; (5) recognizes the educational role of Work-Learning-

Service supervisors; and (7) includes consequences for

nonperformance or failure in the Work-Learning-Service program

similar to the consequences for failure in a regular academic

program.

The Institute will adhere to these requirements pursuant to a

Work-College application to the U.S. Department of Education.

The proposed Work-Learning-Service of the Institute is to: (1)

Provide an integrated set of “Commitments” and “Deliverables” in

Enabling Action Areas in Energy Planning and Policies, and in

Capacity Building and Knowledge Sharing, to 77 low- and

medium-income sovereign member nations of the United Nations

under the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) Initiative (2014-

2024); and (2) Provide such sovereign member nations and their

affiliated public and private stakeholders with technical assistance

and human capacity building services for transparent, inquiry-

based predictive modeling and decision support for national-

scale transition planning to a low-carbon economy.

Commitments and Deliverables to sovereign member nations of

the United Nations SE4ALL Initiative include, but are not limited

to: (1) Interactive Sankey Analysis Diagrams of national energy

flows for public policy and infrastructure planning; (2) Geo-

referenced Solar and Wind Energy Resource Assessment (SWERA)

resource mapping to facilitate changes in renewable energy

policies and stimulate an increase in energy efficiency and

renewable energy investments; (3) Systems Dynamic (SD)

modeling to support comprehensive, predictive modeling and

decision support services for integrated long-term national

development planning and comparative analysis of policy options

for energy services; (4) Investment-grade proposals for High

Impact Opportunity (HIO) energy efficiency and renewable

energy projects, and related Balance of Services (BOS) for project

development and implementation.

U.S.-AFRICA MINISTERIAL

SolarQuest in collaboration with the U.S Department of Energy

(DOE) provided services to 52 African nations as co-sponsor of

the U.S.-Africa Energy Ministers’ Conference (1999-2001).

Technical assistance and human capacity building services

provided under the DOE included such projects as Village Power

2000 and Solar Lights for Africa, which resulted in over 2,500 solar

energy installations in remote villages throughout sub-Sahara

Africa. The Institute will reinstate the U.S.-Africa Energy Ministerial

as a Public-Private-Partnership model led by a multi-sector

consortium.

OLADE MINISTERIAL

In collaboration with the United Nations under Project URGAL,

SolarQuest provided technical assistance and human capacity

building services to OLADE. Specifically, SolarQuest provided

economic modeling of policy options for structural reform

designed to assess the economic impact of feed-in tariffs and the

international transfer of carbon credits. Prior relations with OLADE

provide a framework for cooperation at the on-set of Institute’s

commitment to provide an integrated set of Enabling Actions in

Energy Planning and Policies, and Capacity Building and

Knowledge Sharing, under the UN-SE4ALL Initiative.

Assuming the sale of up to $50 million in securities, the remaining balance above $25 million will be placed in reserve for the build-out of

Phase 2 ($5.1 million) and Phase 3 ($14.3 million) as enrollment targets are met.

As FTE enrollment stabilizes, the College will leverage a proposed preliminary inducement from the City of Bristol for an Industrial

Development Bond (IDB) in the amount of not-to-exceed $50 million to recover campus development expenses.

These recovered funds will be invested in SE4ALL energy efficient and renewable energy projects developed by the Institute under an

Industry Assessments Center model in order for the College to fully transition to a federally sponsored Work College.

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) University-based Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs)

The Institute is partially modeled after the IACs program of DOE. At participating IACs, faculty and staff lead students in the performance

of energy assessments for small- and medium-sized manufacturers in their geographic region with the goal to identify opportunities for

energy savings, waste reduction, and improvements in both corporate sustainability and productivity. Each year, participating IACs

conduct in excess of 600 assessments. Assessments implemented under the IACs program have resulted in $2.2 billion dollars in energy

service contract value, have created or saved 1.5 million jobs, and have resulted in $5.6 billion in avoided cost savings for industry clients.

The Alliance builds on the Accelerate Energy Productivity 2030

goal of doubling energy productivity by 2030 by taking it

global, securing commitments from government and business

decision-makers around the world to be leaders in energy

productivity.

Key Alliance Objectives:

• ENERGY PRODUCTIVITY: Doubling energy productivity will allow

countries and businesses around the world to achieve twice as

much economic output per unit of energy used. According to

the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy productivity

improvements could generate an additional $18 trillion in global

GDP between 2012 and 2035.

• ENERGY SECURITY: Improving energy productivity enables

countries to reduce reliance on imported energy. For example,

doubling U.S. energy productivity could reduce imported energy

from 19 percent to 7 percent of its total energy consumption.

• COST SAVINGS: Real financial savings when energy productivity

is improved. The IEA projects that consumers could save as

much as $17.5 trillion in energy expenditures with available

energy efficiency improvements between 2012 and 2035.

PROPOSED ESCO MODEL

Financial sustainability for the Institute will be achieved under a

proposed Energy Services Contract (ESCO) and/or Energy

Performance Contact (EPC) revenue model in which projects

developed and financed with Work-Learning-Service technical

assistance and human capacity building support will accrue a fee

equivalent to 5% of the project’s annual avoided cost savings

after Payback for a period of 5 years:

Payback+5x5 ECSO/EPC Revenue Model

An ESCO or EPC contract is a method of developing, financing

and implementing energy projects by leveraging energy savings

along with grants, utility rebates and capital dollars. Projects are

typically funded within the leveraged repayment sourced from

existing operating budgets by allocating the avoided energy cost

savings realized as a result of the implemented energy efficiency

and/or renewable energy measure(s).

In the ESCO model, the implementing contractor finances the

project on behalf of the client (Off-Balance-Sheet), assumes cost

savings performance risks, and provides warranty risk insurance

(at a fee of approximately 3% of contract value) to “guarantee”

that the client achieves projected savings and repayment.

SolarQuest L3C is the proposed private sector manager of the

Payback+5x5 ECSO/EPC program.

SOLARQUEST L3C

Analysis of High Impact Opportunities

The Report of the SE4ALL’s Advisory Board’s Finance Committee

report - Scaling Up Finance for Sustainable Energy Investments

(July 2015) - utilizes Standard & Poor’s and World Bank Data to

identify both High Impact Opportunities (HIOs) and High Impact

Investments (HIIs) in “Reference Countries” selected among high

impact and fast moving countries with varying perceived credit

quality, ease of access to capital, and structural reform incentives

at federal and state governmental levels.

SolarQuest L3C, in collaboration with the Institute and its

academic partners, will extend Requests for Participation to these

targeted countries for priority membership and services at the

proposed US-SE4ALL International Service Center. To accelerate

project development with the aim to achieve financial

sustainability for the Institute, SolarQuest L3C will leverage

technical assistance services offered under the UN-SE4ALL Global

Energy Efficiency Accelerator Platform, which provides SE4ALL

partners with Integrated Policy and Investment Roadmaps

prepared with committed public and private partners. These

Roadmaps will guide project implementation supported by a

global network of experts, institutions and businesses.

Financial Plan

SolarQuest L3C aims to achieve a $500 million project portfolio to

generate an annual revenue for the Institute of a minimum of $20

to $25 million annually by Year-7 of program operations.

Based on the model of SolarQuest L3C’s biofuel energy capacity

partner, Vital CleanTech Ventures, the capital requirement to

develop a $500 million project portfolio will require a private

investment of 4%, or $20 million, in project development fees in

order to leverage the vendor-driven, sovereign-backed financing

for UN-SE4ALL projects.

This investment will be sourced from a combination of domestic

and foreign direct investment mechanisms utilizing U.S. federal

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) mechanisms, such as

Regulation D 506(c) exempt public offers (domestic), and/or

Employment-based (EB-5) finance instruments offered through

the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (foreign).

Program-Related Investments (PRIs) will also be solicited by

SolarQuest L3C from major charitable foundations supporting the

objectives of the UN-SE4ALL Initiative.

ROLE OF THE L3C

SolarQuest L3C is the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Energy for

All (SE4ALL) “Commitment Holder” and the proposed operator of

a United States Partnership for SE4ALL International Service

Center.

The proposed US-SE4ALL International Service Center will host

delegates from 77 low- and middle-income sovereign member

nations of the United Nations. Government delegates will be

invited from the following foreign ministries – agriculture,

commerce, energy, environment, education, finance and the

executive branch of government.

Academic, industry and civil society stakeholders from each

participating sovereign member nation will also be invited to

increase stakeholder participation and transparency at all levels of

government, as transparency remains a problematic barrier to

economic development throughout the developing world.

INTERNATIONAL SERVICE CENTER

The limited scope pilot project for the proposed US-SE4ALL

International Service Center is planned to operate from the Dana

Life Library at the former Dana College campus. The Service

Center will be fully integrated into the Work-Learning-Service

program of the Institute.

Honoring the Past, Envisioning the Future

Since its founding as Trinity Seminary in 1884 by Danish Lutheran

pioneers, until its tragic closing in 2010, Dana College has had a profound

social and economic impact on the Greater Omaha Metropolitan Area.

Generations of well-educated, civic minded graduates across all sectors of

society have contributed to the success of the Area. The name style

“Renewable Nations Institute at Dana College” seeks to honor this past by

preserving Dana College in name, and in spirit of service.

The redevelopment plan envisions the future of Dana College in the

context of the key emerging industries – the $1.2 billion biofuels-based

renewable energy sector – that drive the economy of the City of Blair.

The City of Blair is host the nation’s leading bio-fuels research center and

the region’s largest biofuel production hub. The proposed Renewable

Nations Institute at Dana College will place the City of Blair (and the

Greater Omaha Metropolitan Area) at the forefront of the energy

efficiency and renewable energy industries globally. This is arguably the

“Good Road” for the College and City.

Overlooking the Dana College Campus

I n t h e W i s d o m o f O u r E l d e r s

Black Elk

The inscription on the Tower of the Four Winds overlooking the Dana

College campus and the City of Blair, reads as follows:

“This Tower is a tribute to Oglala Sioux Holy Man, Black Elk (1863-1950), and

to Nebraska Poet Laureate, John G. Neiihardt (1881-1973), who in his book

Black Elk Speaks, captured Black Elk’s visions. These visions inspired Rev. F.W.

Thomsen, Professor Emeritus, Dana College, to design the mosaic.

The Universal Messiah with outstretched arms blessing all people stands

within the Tree of Life. Around them is an ever-widening circle of Light

forming the Hoop of the World which holds all living things. Singing birds fly

between the Cottonwood leaves radiating from this sacred tree.

Two roads cross the Hoop of the World. Black Elk said: ‘The Good Road and

the Road of Difficulties you have made to cross; and where they cross, that

place is Holy.’ ”

Closing Statement: Elders from each generation carry forward knowledge

to empower – and inspire – the next generation to create a prosperous

future. The prosperity of that future, however, depends upon responsible

“Creation Stewards” endowed through education with the courage to

express the profound practical wisdom of the Universal Messiah

embodied in the Gift of Creation.

Black Elk, would agree that all generations seek the “Good Road” but in

so doing leave a legacy of difficulties. Education is the Holy place where

the next generation crosses over the “Road of Difficulties” with Hope to

recreate to the Promise of the “Good Road” by embracing the wisdom of

the Elders. Dana College can once again be that Holy Place.
