2
Funding Low cost & no cost improvements CT Energy Efficiency Fund Fund up to 75% of project cost $1M / customer / year Funding provided as a rebate after project completion Funding currently available
3
Incentive Programs What’s eligible Prescriptive rebates (lighting/HVAC) Custom projects Pumps, aeration, VFDs, controls/automation Baseline data Calculating savings (kW & $) Correspondence with utility
4
Public Benefits Charge
5
What is the Program? Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund (CEEF) – 3 mill charge on all electric and gas bills – CL&P and UI Administer the Fund Electric Programs – CL&P Administers the Fund Gas Programs Incentives to Do the Right Design – Provides funds to promote use of energy saving designs and equipment
6
The Big Picture Gas and Electric Projects Eligible EO - Energy Opportunities – For existing process equipment that are within design life ECB - Energy Conscious Blueprint – For new designs – For replacement of process equipment beyond design life
7
EO Projects Additions to existing equipment that will save energy – VFD on motors – Air Receiver tanks that allow lower pressure – Energy efficient lights – Automated Process controls – Software to shut down unused computers – Will need savings calculations
8
EO Project Incentives (CL&P) Lesser of – 40% of installed cost or – Greater of $0.35/annual kWh savings or $1,000/ summer peak kW savings or – $500 / point for Energy Management System or – prescriptive $ per unit
9
ECB Projects New Design/ Equipment or Replacement of Equipment > 75% Useful Life – Compare energy efficient equipment to base non energy efficient equipment – Will need $ for base and efficient equipment – Will need calculations for savings
10
ECB Project Incentives (CL&P) Lesser of – 75% of incremental (base vs efficient) cost or – Greater of $0.50/annual kWh savings or $1,100/ summer peak kW savings or – prescriptive $ per unit Incentive may vary according to the application and Electric Company
11
Additional $ Caps (CL&P) EO – $1,000,000 annual cap per Federal Tax ID – http://www.cl- p.com/downloads/Retrofit%20Incentives.pdf?id=4294 986588&dl=t ECB – $1,000,000 annual cap per Federal Tax ID – Gas Projects require PURA approval > $100,000 – http://www.cl- p.com/downloads/ECB%20Incentives.pdf?id=4294986 560&dl=t
12
Pumping Project Example Pump System Improvements VFDs PLC control system Instrumentation WW level, pressure & flow, kW Discharge flow & pressure Online pump efficiency monitoring Optimized pumping controls 50% Incentive (total installed cost) $150,000 (EO) Discharge flow & pressure Online pump efficiency monitoring Optimized pumping controls 50% Incentive (total installed cost) $150,000 (EO)
13
Aeration System Process modification Dissolved Oxygen controls New instrumentation - Air flow meters & air flow control valves New blower VFDs PLC control panel Expected savings = > 1 million kWh/yr Incentive funding $270,000 (EO) Expected savings = > 1 million kWh/yr Incentive funding $270,000 (EO)
14
Pumping Project Example Pump System Improvements (oversized pump replacement) Incentive: $19,950 (ECB) Estimated Project Cost Replace existing 25 Hp Pump$17,000 Install 10 Hp Pump with VFD & enhanced controls $38,000 Differential Cost$21,000 Annual Savings$2,574 Payback Period (yrs)8.2
15
Aeration System – Blowers & Controls New Blowers High Efficiency units selected instead of standard design/models Enhanced controls also installed Dissolved Oxygen control Air flow meters & flow control valves PLC control panel Expected savings = > 1 million kWh/yr Incentive funding $900,000 (EO & ECB) Expected savings = > 1 million kWh/yr Incentive funding $900,000 (EO & ECB)
16
Wastewater Plant Upgrade Multiple measures – part of substantial facility upgrade Pump improvements – VFDs & controls New Blowers – aeration system Expected savings = > 1 million kWh/yr Incentive funding $480,000 (EO & ECB) Expected savings = > 1 million kWh/yr Incentive funding $480,000 (EO & ECB)
