Demand Side ManagementSlide8

Why Demand Side Management?

Demand side management programs consist

of the planning, implementing, and monitoring activities of electric utilities that are designed to encourage consumers to modify their level and pattern of electricity usage

IRP: Outlines the cost of the future power supply and correlates it to the cost of DSM programs

For the utility, research has shown that it is cheaper for us to “buy” efficiency than it is to produce electricity. This helps your rates stay low.Slide9

Why Demand Side Management?

Columbia Water & Light offers a variety of DSM programs that are offered to its residential, commercial and industrial customers. These programs include, but are not limited to, education, active load control and load shedding, appliance and lighting rebates and loan programs, energy audits, and tree planting.Slide10

Lighting Incentive

Lighting upgrades save your company money through reduced energy use but also improve the quality of your lighting.

Your business looks more appealing.

Improves work environment for your employees.Slide12
Slide13

Lighting Incentive

Must submit the application to be eligible.

Must reduce at least 1 KW to be eligible for a rebate. (1 KW is 1,000 watts.)

We rebate $300 per KW reduced with the new lighting, or one half the cost of project, whichever is less.

Must be hardwired projects or LED, cold cathode or GU-24 base lamps.Slide14

Lighting Incentive

#1 Fill out and submit the application

Be sure the lamp and ballast are compatible. (Don’t replace T12s with T8s without changing the ballast.)

Take your time choosing the brightness and color temperature of your new lights. You have options, and they’re going to last a long time.

Factor into your payback decision how long the new lights will last, and how little you’ll have to change them.

You will likely need to change your dimmer switch, but it’s worth it.Slide15

Slide19

HVAC Rebate

If your cooling system is older than 10 years, you have frequent service problems and/or you see your utility bills going up, it is time to consider installing a new unit.

Upgrading to a more efficient air conditioning unit can substantially reduce your cooling costsSlide20

HVAC Rebate

The amount of the rebate

depends on the size of your

unit and goes up with a more efficient unit. The rebates

start at $50 and go up to $3,770.

Commercial sized units – 6 tons and greater – use the Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) system.

Residential and small commercial sized units – 5 tons and less – use the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) system. Slide21

Load Management &Load Shedding

Customers participating in these programs receive an incentive to curtail their electrical load during periods of peak demand for the utility. Typically these periods are hot and humid summer workday afternoons. Slide22

Free Infrared &Ultrasonic Leak Detection

Infrared thermography identifies problems with your electrical equipment by detecting abnormal heat, which may identify malfunctioning equipment, or wasted electrical energy.

Ultrasonic leak detection finds leaks in compressed air systems, saving significant energy and dollars when repaired. Slide23
Slide24

Solar Rebate & Net Metering

To help defray the cost of installing rooftop solar, we offer a rebate of $500 per KW for eligible systems, up to 10 KW, sometimes higher.

Net metering allows you to sell back extra energy you don’t use.Slide25

Super Saver Loans

Save money on your utility bills now with fixed, low-interest loans available for energy efficiency and solar for your home and business.

Up to 3 years: 1%

4 to 5 years: 3%

6 to 10 years: 5%

Maximum loan amount for commercial customers is $30,000 for energy efficiency

and

up to $30,000 for solar installation. Must be a property owner.Slide26

Demand Side Management FY2014 Report

37,450,000 Kilowatt Hours Saved

The yearly amount of electricity saved by energy efficiency program participants is equal to the power used by 3,877 homes in one year.Slide27

Demand Side Management FY2014 Report

$24 Million Dollars

Columbia Water & Light customers have spent $24 million in the local economy on energy efficiency projects since 2008.Slide28

Demand Side Management FY2014 Report

33.88 Megawatts reduced

Peak energy reduction programs can drop Columbia’s load by 29,000 kilowatts. Energy efficiency contributes another 4,880 kilowatts.Slide29

Why Are We Doing This?2013-2015 plan: Most comprehensive portfolio of energy efficiency programs in MO’s history

Goal: to reduce energy usage by approximately 1 Billion kWh in energy savings; equivalent to powering 75,000 homes annually2016-2018 plan: Help delay the need to build new power plants. Eliminate the need for 2 additional plants in the next 20 years.More than $260 million in total Customer benefits34Slide35
