Focus on Energy Program Mission Accelerate energy efficiency in Wisconsin by supporting projects that otherwise would not be completed
Why Focus on Energy? • Approx 2/3 of each energy $1 leaves Wisconsin • Efficient businesses are more competitive • Wisconsin’s home owners & businesses save more than $250m annually with Focus programs • Increases in efficiency will reduce the need for future power plants
Target Sectors Pulp & Paper Food Processing Metal Casting Plastics Waste & Wastewater Focus on EnergyPrograms • Residential (single and multi-family) • Renewable Energy • Business • Schools & Government • Commercial • Industrial • Agricultural
Industrial Energy In Wisconsin Electricity 24,329 GWh Natural gas 1.4 Trillion therms Industrial market 35% of total energy
Over 2,000 industrial facilities have participated Focus on Energy Industrial Program
Focus on EnergyAssistance • Technical • Facility-wide assessments • System assessments • Project-specific assessments • Industrial Best Practices • Emerging Technologies • Facilitated Energy Management • Training & Awareness • Financial • Prescriptive Incentives • Custom Incentives • Study Grants • Service Grants • Renewable • New Construction • Special Incentives • Special Promotions www.focusonenergy.com/Incentives/Business
Renewable for Business Now under each Sector (ie: Industrial) • Biomass Combustion • Biomass Digestion • Solar Electric • Solar Water Heating • Distributed Wind
Special Incentives • Incentive options that offer flexibility for businesses • “RFP” programs: businesses can “bid” on incentives needed to complete a project. Winning proposals are selected on competitive basis • Staffing Grants: initiative that funds the staff time required to get energy efficiency projects implemented. Also a competitive grant.

Best Practice Technologies • Off-the-shelf, market-proven technologies • Little or no perceived technological risk • Focus incentives promote deployment
Common Industrial BP’s • Compressed Air • Repair Leaks • Reduce Pressure • Eliminate Inappr. Use • VSD Compressors • Waste Heat Reuse Lighting - Upgrade to T8 Fluor. - Occupancy Sensors • Ventilation • Air Balance • Reduce Vol. of O.A. • System Controls • Pumps & Fans • Right-size Motors • Variable Speed Control
BP Sector Guidebooks Process Specific Opportunities • Pulp & Paper (pulping rotors) • Dairy Processing (floating head pressure) • Plastics Industry (ceramic barrel heaters) • Water & Wastewater (fine bubble diffusion) • Metal Casting (reduce scrap) www.focusonenergy.com/Business/Industrial-Business/Guidebooks/default.aspx
Emerging Technologies • Technologies that have not been adopted in Wisconsin • Real or perceived technical risk • Eligible for FOCUS incentives as well • Investment or shared savings available
Program Updates • Significant reductions in incentives (about 25%) starting July 1st, 2010 • Some incentives eliminated like: • Compressed air leak repair • Feasibility studies • Boiler/Chiller tune-ups • Steam trap repair
Why Incentive Reductions? • Reduced energy use in Wisconsin in 2008 and 2009 resulting in reduce program funds • Strong participation in program during first half of 2010
Feedback • Ultimate goal is to reduce energy costs for industrial businesses • How can we make it work better for you?
Industrial Energy Metering • Assistance and demonstration of increased energy metering and dashboards to increase energy use knowledge and control • Monitoring plan and follow through required • 50% funding of new systems • Up to $20,000 in incentives
Staffing Grants • Provide incentive for staff to manage and implement energy efficiency projects • Competitive • List of projects required • Payment when specific project is completed
Compressed Air Leak Repair • Pay for qualified vendor to tag and fix most leaks • Leak repair can be low priority • Leaks on key equipment will be responsibility of facility personnel • No cost to facility except to participate in follow-up assessment
Other ideas? • Provide funding for targeted national experts to provide process assessments • Provide support for % of energy intensity reduction • ????
