1 Funding Opportunities for Energy Efficiency: Utility Programs and Tax Incentives 1 Indiana Energy Efficiency 2015 & Beyond What Has Changed In Energy Efficiency From A Commercial Customer & Utility Perspective Michael Goldenberg, Duke Energy michael.goldenberg@duke energy.com 2 1
2 Energy Efficiency ( EE ) Overview Utilities continue to support and offer EE programs Current spending could be impacted by opt out resulting in lower budgets than mandated by Phase II Order however it is significantly higher than pre 2010 Each utility is responsible for setting its own goals informed by its IRP. The portfolios will include significant C&I programs for those customers who have not opted out 3 Opt Out With passage of SEA 340, customers over 1 MW had the choice to opt out of utilitysponsored EE programs Customer participation in the large C&I customer segment (over 1MW) were major participants in EE programs from
3 Indiana Utility Opted Out Data Number of eligible customers and accounts 1030 customers representing 2227 accounts Number of opt out customers/accounts 419 customers representing 1544 accounts 5 Indiana Utility Opted Out Data Eligible opt out load as a percentage of total load (these numbers reflect varying customer mixes by utility) Range from 26% 55% (.3% 1 utility) Opted out load as a percentage of opt out eligible load Range from 60% 81% (3% 1 utility) Opted out load as a percentage of total load Range from 21% 39% (.8% 1 utility) 6 3
4 Indiana Utility Opted Out Data Opted out customers/accounts as a percentage of total C&I Core & Core Plus impacts for Range from 27% 60% 7 What The Data Means Utilities will have to expand on ways to reach the smaller customer (each utility defines small customers differently) Opportunities to engage the remaining larger customers through existing and new channels needs to be maximized (each utility defines larger customers differently) 8 4
5 Smaller Customers Hard to reach and connect with key decision makers Typically no onsite energy managers Obtaining capital improvement funding may be more challenging Less energy intensive in their usage 9 UTILITY SPONSORED PROGRAMS 10 5
6 Direct Install Program Small business direct install programs are now offered or are part of new filings by all the Indiana Investor Owned Utilities Programs vary Undertake a no cost audit which identifies measures which can be installed Eligible customers range from 100 kw 300 kw depending upon utility Some programs offer limited no cost measures such as LEDs, pre rinse sprayers, and efficient aerators at the time of the audit Recommendations from audits are then followed up on with buy downs that range from 50% to 80% of measure cost 11 Prescriptive Programs All IOUs offer prescriptive programs Fixed incentive amounts paid for measures such as lighting, chillers & VFD s Similar to what was offered in former Core & Core Plus portfolios Incentives vary; some measure paybacks are less than 2 years Main marketing channel is the trade ally that works with the customer on the purchase 12 6
7 Larger Customers All utilities have some large consumers of power who have not opted out Utilities need to reemphasize to these customers the opportunities that are available to reduce energy consumption through current programs Prescriptive programs are excellent sources for common measures 13 Custom Programs Offered by all investor owned utilities Designed to meet the needs of customers with electrical energy saving projects involving more complicated or alternative technologies, or those measures not covered by standard Prescriptive Incentives Customers work with utility to understand the project Incentives are determined through customer specific analysis of energy savings Process can take longer due to required analysis Meets very specific needs of customer where Prescriptive Program may not 14 7
8 Energy Efficiency Project Examples Alison Becker, Northern Indiana Public Service Company 15 LaPorte Community School Corporation Provides a walk through of the school and a comprehensive report on recommendations Provides the direct installation of various measures Helps schools utilize other programs for rebates and incentives This is all about energy efficiency and safety, said Marc Cizewski, Director of Facilities for the La Porte Community School Corporation. Over the last five or six years we budget every year to upgrade our lighting from T 12 to T 8 and we ve seen anywhere from a couple hundred to a thousand dollars in savings. We can then turn around and use that money to replace even more lights and fixtures. 16 8
9 Large Indianapolis Hospital Indianapolis hospital worked with IPL to improve the efficiency of cooling towers Incentive of $100,000 Annual operating savings expected to be $100,000 Also expected to save water Utilities have contractors to assist with evaluation of the project and rebate processing Custom programs are typically for larger customers/projects, but not always 17 Trade Allies Reaching Niche Markets: Convenience Stores Utilities offer a menu of measures that receive a rebate once installed Great for projects that are common: lighting, refrigeration, etc. Light emitting diode (LED) lighting is common In refrigerator applications, LEDs are ideal: no compensation for heat, LEDs perform well in cold environments, come on instantly and to full brightness, which works well with motion sensors/dimmers Energy Use in a Typical Convenience Store 18 9
10 Outside Lighting: Prescriptive or Custom Metal halide traditionally used outside Provide high levels of illumination, but extreme amounts of glare Operating and maintenance costs are high Induction lighting maintains lumen output Operates at cooler temperatures Uses up to 68% less energy then metal halide Bright, clean, glare free presentation 19 Project Small Business Energy Savings Retrofit 4 1 lamp T12 to 4 1 lamp T8 Retrofit 2 T12 Utubes to T8 Linears Retrofit 4 2 lamps T12 to 4 2 lamps T* Savings 118,093 kwh $14, annually Investment payback of 1.9 years Evansville Day School and Vectren Project Custom Retrofit 8 T12 high output (HO) fixtures with light emitting diodes (LEDs) Retrofit 2 T12 HO fixtures with LEDs Savings 118,093 kwh $17,042 Simple payback before incentive: 2.0 years Incentive $15,895 Simple payback with incentive: 1.1 years 20 10
11 IU Bloomington: Power Partner with Duke Energy A Campus Master Plan that prioritizes sustainability with a goal of becoming a carbon neutral campus and a commitment to design all new buildings for LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Silver or Gold Certification Building improvements that include: switching to high efficiency lighting fixtures with an estimated energy savings of $250,000 a year installing highly energy efficient equipment and cool roofs which led to almost $500,000 in monetary rebates. A Utility Information Project that includes metering of every building on campus and allows for the monitoring of each building's energy consumption and contribution to peak electrical demand. Central Control Center efforts which constantly monitor electrical usage and make adjustments to system and building equipment to shave to peak electrical demands. 21 Subaru: A Variety of Custom Projects Projects Lighting Occupancy Sensors Variable frequency drives Savings 10 million kwh/year Enough to power more than 800 Indiana homes for a year Incentive Subaru received over $400,000 in incentives from Duke Energy 22 11
12 Project Replacing HID fixtures with fluorescent fixtures Savings 3 M kwh annually Incentive $90,000 Automotive Manufacturing: Custom Lighting Retrofit 23 Federal & State Tax Incentives for Energy Efficiency Investments Tim Rushenberg, Vice President, Indiana Energy Association trushenberg@indianaenergy.org 24 12
