  2. Increasing Load Requirements

  3. Increasing Retail Rates

  4. Increasing Energy Expense

  5. Why consider EE programs? • Increasing need/cost of generation • Help customers manage increasing costs • Customers’ Environmental Expectations • We’re Not-For-Profit • Responsible Energy Use: It’s the Right Thing To Do

  6. Beyond Year 2 Emerging Initiatives New Initiatives Year 1 -Schools -Smart Grid Roadmap -Training Academy -Commercial Audits -Statewide EE Image Campaign -PHEV Program -Other? 6 Programs ARRA Funding (32 EMCs) Schools Initial Program (1 EMC)

  7. Current Programs--From ARRA Funding Training and Tools Agriculture Residential Industrial Energy Assessments 99 Customers* 25% Complete EE Loans 3,900 Loans* 7.8M sq. ft. $19M Loans 18% Complete Poultry Lighting 300 Houses* 5% Complete 76 Certified Home Auditors (32 EMCs) State of the Art Web and Auditor Tools (28 EMCs) HVAC Tune-Up 3,350 Homes* 7.5M sq. ft. 43% Complete

  8. School Energy Assessment Program • Draft Proposal • Create EMC staffed Assessment “Strike Team” • Train Strike Team to accomplish consistent professional assessments • Strike Team: • EMC staff Volunteers • EMC gains highly trained individual and experience with other EMCs/systems • Goal would be to only perform assessments, outside of home EMC, once each month.

  9. Student School Energy Assessment Program • Need • Competitors want their customers to Think __PC when they think “Energy Efficiency” • What can we do? • Students are some of our best marketers • Make sure our Youth knows our good story and opportunities • Looking for good programs • Please send me your ideas • Hope to bring alternative for your consideration this fall

  10. Emerging Issues/Opportunities Training and Tools School Programs • Launch Audit Program • Student initiatives • Continuous, Statewide School Engagement Smart Grid/Econ Dev • Increase EMC staff expertise • Develop EE/Green “Training Academy” for EMC staff • Maintain Certifications • Provide Advance Training • Industrial Energy Training • Commercial Energy Training • Connect EE/Green Energy and Utility Operations/Planning • Evaluate demonstration projects • Create Roadmap • Help State attract Green Industries Public Image • Programs to increase statewide “green” image • Statewide Image Campaigns • Capitalize on programs and initiatives Residential/PHEV • Create/Grow Programs • Create Coordinated PHEV Program • Find Solutions for Manufactured Housing • Explore Education Programs Commercial/Industrial Green Power EMC • Create Sustained Industrial Assessment Program • Build Commercial Audit Program • Provide Technical Support • Develop Project Evaluation Process • Link Programs where possible

  11. Oh Yeah, What about the “Smart Grid”, Climate Change and Green Power

  12. Choice for Customer?

  13. Response to Load—Reliability • Response to Price—Rates

  14. New Opportunities---NEED YOUR HELP School Programs Continued Financing Programs Equipment/Displays (energy wall) Continued Training/Education PHEV New Low Temp Heat Pumps Green Energy Opportunities Commercial Energy Assessments Solutions for Manufactured Homes Smart Grid Activity Support
