PARTNERSHIP … Ellsworth and MAFB – Montana Dakota Utilities Co.
Service Area Ellsworth AFB pro-active approach to energy
management Ellsworth AFB and the MDU Resources Group, Inc. have
a well developed partnership having completed numerous projects over the past decade Propane Air Mix Plant / Expansion Two UESC Task Orders
![Page 7: Ellsworth Air Force Base Advanced Metering ProjectEllsworth Air Force Base Advanced Metering Project ... territories in seven states for approximately 1 million gas and electric customers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022043011/5fa447d79e230061f218c135/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
UESC Task Order One… Involved the installation of energy
efficiency equipment such as new lighting systems, new windows, metering, natural gas pipeline looping along with the heating projects.
This work was done on 11 buildings, on the base and was completed in 2001.
Total Cost = $875,000Expected Annual Savings = $174,000

UESC Task Order Two… Involved 51 buildings on base. Involved new lighting systems, energy
efficient windows, heating and cooling system replacement and air de-stratification projects.
Total Cost = $4.3 millionExpected Annual Savings = $427,000

When EPACT 05 was passed mandating the installation of advanced electrical metering on all large buildings, EAFB and MDU Resources Group, Inc. again joined forces
Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. was in the process of integrating advanced metering throughout their service territories in seven states for approximately 1 million gas and electric customers
The Partnership Continues…

Project Specifics Methodology for EAFB System
Utilize a wireless system (Itron) Rely on extensive research done by MDU for their system Ensure compatibility with MDU data gathering and storage
system Concentrate on getting basic data.
Linking the data with EMCS systems is outside the scope of the project
Controlling HVAC systems is outside the scope of the project./ Make Bitter Creek responsible for all aspects of the
project/system.
