Principle Obstacles to Success Initial expectations - 40 million in savings fromcompetitive electricity markets in 1998 on totalnational electricity bills of 400 million The USPS/Enron golf course agreement 40,000 buildings Mis-aligned and inadequate authority(facility,district, area, hq) Lack of organizational home Lack of incentives/consequences Distrust of “contractors”/It’s not “Postal” Turf issues Old facilities Last few years – no capital
Utility Shared Energy Savings (SES)ContractsUtility SES Energy savings performance contract Sole source to utilities providing energy efficiencyservicesLBNL Role Technical and financial evaluation of projectproposals Utility rebates/m&v requirements Buyout analysis Examples-Envest contracts (So Cal Edison)PowerPact contracts (PG&E)Las Vegas P&DC (Nevada Power)Honolulu P&DC (Hawaiian Electric Co)
Competitive Shared EnergySavings ContractsCompetitive SES Competitively awarded (restructured states) Focus on technology cherry-picking (lighting, motors,motor controls only) Contracts awarded in 13 state area, but no projectscompletedLBNL Role Conduct market research to determine reason forfailure and suggest improvements for CA contract Technical and financial evaluation of contractor offers- Contracts awarded to Viron, now ChevronTexaco - NoCal;Honeywell - SoCal Technical and financial evaluation of projectproposals- 10M in projects awarded/completed; expected total 70M over 4 year contract life
Distinguishing Features of USPSCA SES Contract Audit risks borne by ESCO Single ESCO per facility No “cherry-picking” – all technologiesconsidered Performance risk borne by USPS Some key issues still being resolved- Use of savings in excess of 100% in a given yearprovided NPV is positive- Service level adjustments to baseline- Modeling out-year energy prices- Extend Delivery Order term to 25 years
Commodity Procurement Electricity procurement (CA, NY, NJ,IL, national) Green power procurement (CA, NY) Comprehensive energy services(national)
Purchasing Green Power in CA Creating realistic expectations of potentialsavings Developing senior management support Designing the solicitation Evaluating the offers and negotiating withpotential suppliers L’Affaire Enron Offer lost in a merger Awarding a contract – 100% renewable, 1100sites, no price premium ( 4aMW) Then-largest federal green power purchase
Developing a PV DemonstrationProject FEMP DER grant of 125k received on the basis of original plan– 4 sites @ 25kW Conducted market research- Price: 9 – 9.50/W @ 25kW; 8.50/W @ 100kW- Rebates: CEC - 4.50/W up to 50%; LADWP - 5/W, no limit,manufactured in LA (lower for other products) Non-competitive procurement approved – PowerLightPowerGuard product- No roof penetration- Manufactured in LA – higher rebate Site Selection- LADWP rebate program- Tariff, roof, site cooperation- 3 candidate sites Use of expense funding approved for 100 kW
Developing a PV DemonstrationProject (cont.) LADWP increased rebate to 6/W- PowerLight increased size to 127W (nameplate)- Rebate 684,000 (based on 114kW actual) Cost to USPS: 225,000- 9 year ROI LADWP self-gen tariff substantially increasedbenefits- 7 year ROI System included Data Acquisition System andSolar Load Controller Led to newly-approved 400kW system in W. Sac.

Design Assistance Comprehensive Review of USPS ConstructionDesign Standards- Recent request from USPS Facilities Department- Earlier reviews not influential Development of Large Facility Lighting DesignGuide Development of Small/Medium FacilityLighting Design Guide Proposed Santa Monica Green Building Technology case studies- Compressed Air- Carrier case lighting
Operations and Maintenance Pacific Area tele-metering and demandresponse program- Installation of energy information anddemand response systems at 24 CA largefacilities- Sole sourced to Viron Energy Services (nowChevronTexaco)- Funded entirely by CEC grant ( 1.2M) National tele-metering program- Developing technical specifications andbusiness case
Tele-metering: Building a BusinessCase Establish baseline technologies/services Determine incremental investment required Evaluate sources of potential benefits(high/medium/low cases)- More effective electricity and gas commodityprocurements- Improve facility operations & maintenance (O&M)- Improve energy efficiency retrofit project design- Tariff analysis- Reduce utility billing errors- Evaluate potential from economic demand response(programs and/or prices)- Evaluate potential from participation in demandresponse programs (grid emergency) Calculate return on investment
Lighting Lighting technology design (“Rodeo” orcarrier case fixture) Lighting design guides- Retail operations- P&DCs Berkeley Lamp test-bed
Direct Financial Benefits Tariff analysis - 200K refund from SDG&E foroverbilling CEC grant - 1.2M for demand response system LADWP rebate - 684K for Marina PV system FEMP grant - 125K for Marina PV system PG&E Self-Gen Incentive Program rebate - 2Mfor W.Sacto PV system Various smaller utility rebates
