week to receive a report from the
EmPower Commission;: This 16-
member commission was created by
the 2007 Legislature, and includes
representatives from all major ener-
gy industries When you think about
it, this is a unique concept. All of
the major energy groups from
ethanol and wind to oil and coal
coming to common ground, and
finding consensus on policy issues
to bring to the legislature.
When it comes to energy North
Dakota has it all, and we have been
celebrating many successes. North
Dakota has moved into the second
largest oil-producing state in the
nation with production over
640,000 barrels per day. We have
coal generation at seven locations
providing low cost, reliable electric
power to two million customers.
The state leads the nation in the
production of nine different agricul-
tural commodities including two
commodities used for liquid fuels.
Between 2007-2010 North
Dakota increased its energy produc-
tion by 65 percent and it is well on
its way to doubling statewide pro-
duction by 2025. The ethanol
industry continues to thrive, and
contributes more than $300 million
annually to the economy and sup-
ports more than 10.000 direct and
indirect jobs. We are a national
leader in flex fuel pump infrastruc-
ture and have seen a 55 percent,
increase in flex fuel vehicles over
the past two years with 65,000 cur-
rently on the road.
By the end of 2012, natural gas
processing in North Dakota will
have increased 383 percent over six
years. With the addition of a facili-
ty coming online later this year.
there will be 17 plants processing

many successes.
Bakken natural gas.
In 2012. North Dakota ranked
tenth in the nation in installed wind
energy capacity. The PSC has per-
mitted over 2,900 megawatts of
wind generation.
The state's only oil refinery has
expanded by 20 percent or 10,000
barrels per day. In addition, three
new refineries were announced and
are at various stages of planning,
permitting, and construction•
Even with all of these successes
we are now facing a future where
energy development in all sectors
can continue to grow and develop
ew economies based on second-
ary. value-added industries. But in
order to do this the state needs to
address several key areas crucial to
the expansion of energy production
and extraction. North Dakota needs
!o work with the industry to begin
.xploring ways to capture opportu-
nities to develop raw resources into
aew products, including petro-
chemicals, plastics, nanofibers, and
other manufactured products.
This year's EmPower report
identified four areas considered
zritical for continuing to grow ener-
gy production and new energy-
related industries. They were infra-
structure, research and develop-
ment, workforce, and a regulatory
environment, at both the state and
federal levels, that encourages eco-
nomic growth while ensuring envi-
ronmentally-responsible develop-
ment of natural resources.
Under each of these tour issues
the Commission gave recommenda-
tions to legislators indicating which
policy changes they would be most
likely to support for the upcoming
session. Adequate infrastructure is
key to the efficient and effective
development of our energy
resources. They recommend revis-
ing the state's oil and gas tax formu-
la so more money goes directly
back to the cities and counties to
address funding shortfalls for roads,
wastewater treatment facilities.
water supply facilities and other
needs.
Under research and development
they recommended allocating a
portion of the Resource Trust Fund
up to $3 million tbr a renewable
energy research and development
program, and adding $1 million to
the Oil and Gas Research fund to
explore opportunities related to

Workforce issues continue to be
a challenge for all of North Dakota
and the commission recommends
increasing efforts to educate stu-
dents about our natural resources
by developing curriculum to
encourage interest in energy
careers. Greater accessibility to
career and technical education pro-
grams along with adequate training
facilities were another recommen-
dation to help the workforce short-
age.
One of the members of the
Commission indicated how impor-
tant it was to provide adequate
funding and staffing levels for the
ND Health Department. State Water
Commission. ND Department of
Mineral Resources, and the Public
Service Commission• because of
the additional burdens new energy
developments are placing on the
state regulatory agencies.
The work that this Commission
has put in will be invaluable for
developing energy policies in the
upcoming sesston.
