Why now? You re spending these dollars now in your operating budget and will spend these dollars in FY 13-14 The money needed for energy investments is already in the budget and being spent on wasted energy. The financing source for the Energy Efficiencyi investment t is right there in avoided d utility costs. Financing Energy Projects through Performance Contracting, Shirley J. Hansen, Ph.D. The decision isn t if to spend, but how Government agencies spend more than $10 billion a year on energy while grappling with tightening budgets. Yet nearly one-third of the energy used to run typical government buildings goes to waste. Energy Star for Government, US EPA website 7/11/2013 2
What is Energy Savings Performance Contracting? ESPC is a Partnership: No-upfront-cost contracting method Siemens (ESCo selected by CCM member towns) installs improvements known as Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) Siemens is paid during construction from an escrow account funded via municipal lease purchase agreement Lender is paid over time from the energy, water, operations and maintenance savings resulting from the ECMs Siemens guarantees savings program costs; if not, Siemens pays Willington the difference 7/11/2013 CCM Energy Efficiency Program 3
What is a Municipal Lease Purchase Agreement? Market alternative to a cash purchase or tax-exempt municipal bond issue Interest is exempt from federal taxation, allowing rates to be set lower than for bonds, providing the municipality with significant cost savings Non-appropriation clause: municipal payment obligation terminates if it fails to appropriate funds to make lease payments Municipality holds title to the leased equipment Advantages include: Fast, simple approval process (as compared to issuing a bond referendum) Reduced transaction costs (most costs associated with bond financing are eliminated) Lower interest rates (the interest income is tax exempt; the lessor passes these savings to the municipality in the form of a lower interest rate) Full financing (covers all project costs; no down payment required; funding into an escrow account ensures the municipality has deepest vendor discounts) No large capital outlay (project costs paid for as they are incurred; helps local governments and school districts manage their capital reserve fund balances) (Information from US EPA Energy Star website: www.energystar.gov) 7/11/2013 CCM Energy Efficiency Program 4
Where do we find savings? Out of Each Energy Budget Dollar 75% 80% is typically used as intended for heating, cooling, ventilating, etc. 20% 25% is wasted by less efficient equipment and funds our program The budgeted dollars do not change; we simply use dollars that otherwise would be spent on electricity and fuel oil to fund installation of new, moreefficient efficient equipment; the resulting savings pays for the equipment 7/11/2013 CCM Energy Efficiency Program 5
How do we budget for this? (You already have) Current Energy Budget $231,329 Current Energy Budget $231,329 Budget impact of No $231,329 Budget impact of No $231,329 Budget impact of Yes $231,329* *Willington receives $757,500 in energy efficiency improvements with $0 capital cost in a 17-year program entirely funded by $47,700 or 20.62% annual energy savings from the existing energy budget. 7/11/2013 CCM Energy Efficiency Program 6
ECM Overview Energy Management System (EMS) Control strategies Add ability to current control system Programmable Thermostats Quick payback; will drive other measures Ensures no energy is wasted when buildings are unoccupied Increases occupant control Cooler Controls 7/11/2013 CCM Energy Efficiency Program 7
ECM Overview Network Controller Network based PC control system to power down machines when not in use Applies to every building Helps with IT department s current initiative to reduce energy usage and waste Lighting Incentives available from CL&P Good paybacks + O&M savings from longer life lamps Mix of LEDs, de-lamping, new lamps, new ballasts, and newer lighting technologies 7/11/2013 CCM Energy Efficiency Program 8
