Electric Monitoring
• Duke Energy Ohio regulated
• DERS non regulated supply
• Both depend on PJM 5 CP
• 5 CP is determined by regional transmission operator
• 5 CP stands for top 5 highest coincident peaks in PJM total territory
Peak Load Is Main Priority
Weather in DC,
Philadelphia, New
Jersey, or Chicago

• Look at the trend• Peak is almost always
hour ending 17:00• Only 4 of 25 hours were
not hour ending 5PM and they were close

These results are excellent and avoided millions of dollars of additional demand charges on our electric bill
•Electric Bill would be additional $380,000 per month higher
CTG Performance
Simple Fuel Operation
• We use 600 cfm more gas to produce additional 5,000 kW
• This is equal to 36 MCF per hour
• $4 per MCF = $144/5,000kWh = $0.0288/kWh
• $5 per MCF = $180/5,000kWh = $0.036/kWh
• $6 per MCF = $180/5,000kWh = $0.0432/kWh
• $7 per MCF = $180/5,000kWh = $0.0504/kWh
• $10 per MCF = $180/5,000kWh = $0.072/kWh
O& M Costs
• 4 Additional Operators
• Full Service Contract with Solar
• $1,500,000 per year fixed cost
• $0.01/kWh
Debt Costs
• Tax Exempt Bonds
• Low Interest rates
• $40,000,0000
• $3,600,000/ yr
• $0.02/kWh
• Could be less if you needed more capacity
Gas is still low but climbing
EFFICIENCY RESULTS
Energy use per student down 30% over last 9 years
City water usage down 43% over last 9 years

Additional Benefits
• Improved Reliability
• Voltage Sags reduced
• Reduced carbon footprint
• Less transmission and distribution losses
• Good Publicity
Additional Concerns
• Increased Fuel Volatility
• Increased Operational Complexity
• Additional regulatory issues
• PJM Interconnect may be needed
• Increased Staff may be needed
• Additional environmental permitting, monitoring, and reporting
Summary
• Great technology, but it is not for everyone
• Need a medium - large summer steam load and year round need for power
• Adds complexity to operations
• Capital and regulatory intensive
• Works great with low gas prices
