TRANSCRIPT
Purpose of the Energy-Efficiency and CHP/WER Working Groups
Peer learning 10 manufacturers have joined the working group
Connect Electric and gas utilities
State energy office, AQDA
Rural biz – Dep. of Ag.
PACE (property assessed clean energy)
Access to tools and expertise Tool library
Technical expertise, project developers
Advocate At the PUCO
With the utilities
Survey Results
50% want every other month, 50% want every month
Most want to cover efficiency and CHP
1.5 hours most common length
Majority would find a discussion thread/emails useful
Almost all would find a “tool library” useful
Everyone likes the idea of a plant tour, most willing to host
Suggestions
Monthly meetings alternate efficiency & CHP
Allow email discussions , consider a discussion thread if it is hyper-active
Try out a tool library
Future Schedule?
Wednesday, June 19th – Chillers
Wednesday, July 17th – CHP
Wednesday, August 14th – Fans / in conjunction with OMA Energy Resources, Energy Group
Wednesday, September 18th – Site tour / CHP & WER
Wednesday, October 19th – Pumps
8 am – 9:30 am ?
10 am – 11:30 am?
Utility Incentives
Question – What projects or purchases have you made without incentives? (What broke?)
Motors? Belts? Pumps? Bearings? Drier? Production equipment?
Comparison of Utility Program Manufacturing
Offerings
More than just Prescriptive and Custom measures
Prescriptive – Confident in average savings, reduce costs with streamlined offering
Custom – everything else, have to prove savings
Other – interest from members?
CHP specific program clarifying incentives, offering assistance
Operations & maintenance / low-cost/no-cost
Production oriented programs
Retro-commissioning (low-cost/no-cost for commercial systems)
State Production oriented programs CHP O&M RCx

Cooperatives, some DP&L
Columbia Gas
Loans
Ohio DSA (Development Services Agency)
AQDA
Grants & Loans
USDA – for rural, small businesses. Can be a manufacturer.
Financing
PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) – Toledo Port Authority, coming soon in Cincinnati
Rebate assistance
OMA! – FE and AEP
Shaping Utility Offerings
DP&L and Duke – Filing programs with the PUCO
AEP
Interested from OMA members – information on motor rewinds
Pilot programs
Compressed air leaks
Electric and hybrid IMM
Joint-pilot programs
Very interested in notched V-belt point-of-sales
Open to trying out other pilot ideas
Production-based opportunities
Low-cost/no-cost “track & tune” projects
Combined Heat & Power / Waste-Energy Recovery
Combined Heat & Power
Small to large power plants on site, use waste-heat for steam, hot-water, absorption chilling
Changes to economics
Low-cost gas (spark spread)
Counts as efficiency
Eligible for net-metering
Potential changes to stand-by rates
Financing
Others…?
Waste Energy Recovery (WER)
Ex., back-pressure steam turbine
Can qualify as an efficiency project, or renewable and receive “renewable energy credits”
Combined Heat & Power / Waste-Energy Recovery
Project screening
Free site screening/qualifier from Midwest CEAC
Intro to CHP from Midwest CEAC?
Boiler MACT
Technical assistance from Midwest CEAC or contractor
An extra year for compliance if CHP chosen
Steam assessment
No funding other than what we’ve already mentioned
