3. Energy Conservation Approach
Minimal initial focus on energy conservation in the first year – entire focus was on successful plant start up
In September of 2017 joined the first Strategic Energy Management Cohort in North Alabama along with 10 other large industrial energy consumers
Established cross functional Energy Management Team
Developed energy maps identifying energy users by area based on motor name plate data and run times
Expanded our employee suggestion program to specifically include a category for energy conservation
A corporate sustainability project was kicked off to evaluate supply and demand side options to evaluate opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint in North America
The Energy Management Team evolved into the Green Team looking at our total footprint
Completed certification for DOE in January 2019

4. Quick Impactful Wins
Timers added to dust collectors in weld (30 units) to shut them down when weld is not in production – saves over 800,000 kWh/yr
Temperature controls added to ceiling fans to control VFDs – 2462 kWh savings
Compressor settings adjusted and plant air pressure dropped from 115 to 96 psi - saves over 1,300,000 kWh/yr
Projects completed in 2018 saved 2,400,000 kWh and over $150,000 annually

5. Focus for 2019
Working to establish new capital installation standards to make sure that improvements are installed the first time including sub- metering
Engage purchasing team on non-capital acquisition standards for energy using equipment
Increase focus on employee awareness and engagement in improvement activities in the coming year – Strong VIP focus
Utilization of energy dashboard to drive conversations with the management team about improvements
Secure capital funding for large scale projects in 2020
Transition plan from TVA Strategic Energy Management Team to site Sustainability Team
