Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth Existing Clean Heat & Power Programs & Initiatives CHP CAPex Measure in Utility Administered State EE Program  Portfolio Standards (Performance Based Incentive) Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)  Electricity only from renewable sources PV, wind, hydro, LFG, MSW, ADG, Bio-mass  Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard CHP with eligible fuels (includes natural gas) Thermal output only with renewable fuels (new)  Grants : Resiliency, Storage, Green Coms. 2

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth Principal Program Goals  Cost Reduction  Reduce Cost of Grid Electricity for Ratepayers  Reduce Cost (amount) of fuel to generate  Reduce T&D Costs by Reducing Demand  Promote Growth of Renewable Energy  Reduce Carbon Emissions  Stimulate Renewable Industry Sector There is a strong interconnection between the two objectives based reducing consumption of emitting fuels. 3

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth CHP IS AN EFFECTIVE EE & GHG MITIGATION MEASURE Example: Performance of a “vanilla” 1 MW CHP unit compared with energy supplied by the grid and boiler (the BAU) Electrical Efficiency: 30% Heat Recovery: 57% of the by-product heat Overall Efficiency: 70% Capacity Factor : 66% PERFORMANCE: Annual Source Fuel Savings.vs. BAU: 15,021 MMBTU ( 19%) Net Source GHG Reduction.vs. BAU: 708 Tons (16%) 5

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth Utility EE Plan CHP Incentive Three Level Tiered Incentive for Qualifying Systems: Based on level of efficiency of existing facility and commitment of owner to implement further measures recommended from audit. Hard cap of 50% total cost on all awards. ≤ 150kW : T1 = $750/kW; T2 = $1000/kW; T3 = $1200/kW >150 kW: T1 < $750/kW; T2 < $950/kW; T3 < $1100/kW Schedule of Payments: 80% on completion; 20% verification of performance. 6

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth APS CHP - Basics Established by GCA law Complimentary and Supplemental to the C&I CHP measure Credits typically worth about 2 and 3.5¢ per net kWh electric. Qualified generators earn credits (AECs) for performance based on values for the  Fuel input  Net MWH output  MMBTU heat to a useful load There is no end date set for this incentive Which are terms in the APS formula for CHP AECs. The DOER is the qualifying authority. 46

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth APS AECS Incentive 1 AEC = 1 MWH of Net Source Fuel Savings The AECs Formula: # AECs = MWH elec / MWH therm / MWH CHP fuel AECs are tradable certificates that LSEs purchase in order to meet their obligation under the APS law. APS GROSS For the 1 MW “vanilla” system in previous slide = $158,000.00/yr 47 BAU Source Fuel

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth State of Clean Heat & Power Today 2015 a very active year: The as projected kWh savings from CHP project approved by the EE plant accounted for 17% the projected savings for the entire portfolio for In general good with promise sustainable growth: Some Favorable Factors: Great Support from Exec, Legislature General Public and NGOs. Growing market pull by owners/operators of Intensive and/or Critical facilities. High cost of grid supplied electricity Increasing recognition of the risk avoid dance that energy resiliency of CHP can deliver. 14

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth State of Clean Heat & Power Today Growth in the number and experience of the various members that make up the community that provides information, systems and other services to the various CHP market sectors. The potential growth in renewable thermal applications. Some Challenges Increasing complexity, costs and delays for interconnecting with the grid. Opposition to any generation with fossil fules 15
