  2. The Big Picture! View Here at Home! What “Energy Efficiency” really means What can you do??? What will we cover?

  3. Fact The US represents about 5% of the world population The US consumes about 25% of the total energy utilized in the world United States Energy Usage and Efficiency: Measuring Changes Over Time, Energy Information Administration, www.eia.doe.gove/emeu/efficiency/wec98.htm. 1995 data

  4. Newton’s Third Law of Motion: "To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"

  5. World Population Prospects: the 1998 Rev Vol I; Comprehensive Tables (UN Sales No. E.99.XIII.9)00

  6. Energy Consumption and Income are Linked 5 billion low-income people in countries with rapid economic growth rates

  11. So what do you think?? Many think there is a problem. Others say “No Problem - it is not man made”. What do you think? More importantly What can each of us do??

  12. So what are our future Energy Options? Can we build more coal stations?? How much wind energy is possible – and do we have it when we need it?? Can we build more nuclear stations and how long will it take?? The good news – Nebraska is positioned well for near term capacity and fuel mix!

  13. So what are our future Energy Options? Lets shed some “Light” on this question!!!

  14. Why does Energy Efficiency make sense? • Reduces the demand for electricity • Positively impacts the size & timing of future power plants • It is our least cost near term resource • Increasing energy costs and environmental consideration support increased focus on efficiency • As Public Power, helping our customers save energy – is the right thing to do! • Bottom Line – as a Community – Energy Efficiency can decrease community costs and enhance the quality of your community! • New businesses are asking about EE programs 27

  15. Energy Efficiency – our Least Cost Resource! • Range for Costs for Energy Efficiency $.01 to $.03/kWh • In 2009 our Program Costs for Energy Efficiency $.014/kWh Our most cost-effective resource is to invest in our customers to save energy and reduce peak demand Source – based on EPRI 2006 TAG with market adjustments – order of magnitude numbers
