1 EU/GOJ DEVELOPING AN ENERGY SERVICES COMPANY (ESCO) INDUSTRY IN JAMAICA STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION JULY 2ND 2013 ESCO EXPERIENCE IN JAMAICA EATON HAUGHTON, P.E. CARIBBEAN ESCO LTD. Website: caribbeanescoltd.com Tel: (876)

2 ECONERGY/CARIBBEAN ESCO LTD. HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF ENERGY SERVICES IN THE REGION SINCE 1980

3 PCJ BUILDING 2001 US$300, ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM LIGHTING RETROFIT AC OPTIMIZATION THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM HIGH EFFICIENCY CHILLER SHAW PARK BEACH 2004 US$350, COMPLETED ESCO PROJECTS HIGH EFFICIENCY CHILLER GUEST ROOM AUTOMATIC AC CONTROLS HIGH EFFICIENCY MINI-SPLIT AC SYSTEMS PRODUCTION OF FREE HOT WATER FROM THE CENTRAL AC SYSTEM UWI MONA CAMPUS 2004 <US$1.75M POWER FACTOR CORRECTION CHANGE-OUT FROM F TYPE TO HYDROCARBON REFRIGERANT LIGHTING RETROFIT AND OPTIMIZATION FROM T 12 TO T 8 LAMPS AND ELECTRONIC BALLASTS AC EQUIPMENT OPTIMIZATION

4 PROJECTS IN PROGRESS BERMUDEZ TRINIDAD 2012 ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM POWER FACTOR CORRECTION LIGHTING RETROFIT AC OPTIMIZATION WITH LIQUID DESICCANT SYSTEMS MYERS FLETCHER AND GORDON BUILDING ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM LIGHTING RETROFIT AND OPTIMIZATION POWER FACTOR CORRECTION HIGH EFFICIENCY AC SYSTEM 40 KW RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEM WITH SOLARMILLS HIGH EFFICIENCY ELEVATOR WINDOW TINT

5 HOPES FOR THE FUTURE EXTEND SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE CARIBBEAN PARTNER WITH JPS ON SPECIAL PROJECTS eg. THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE (TES) SYSTEMS CAPACITOR BANKS, AND RE SOLARMILL RE SYSTEMS PARTNER WITH LOCAL INVESTOR/S TO IMPLEMENT PROJECTS ESTABLISH A NETWORK OF AFFILIATE ESCOS PARTNER WITH NORTH AMERICAN ESCO ON MAJOR PROJECTS

6 CARIBBEAN ESCO S ULTIMATE ESCO GOAL ESCos have come up with a novel technique for improving the energy efficiency of business establishments that in many ways eliminates the uncertainties and complexities surrounding performance-based contracting, energy services agreements. A big part of the appeal is the simplicity. The ESCo will pay the utility bills for a building, that is, literally write the check on behalf of the owners or tenants. In exchange, the owner or tenant must pay the ESCo a fee, typically less than what they would ordinarily pay for fuel and electricity.

7 WHAT IS AN ESCO A ONE STOP SHOP FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY SERVICES, PROVISION OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS. CARRIES OUT ENERGY AUDIT TO IDENTIFY COST- EFFECTIVE SAVINGS SOURCE AND EFFECT ENERGY PROJECTS FINANCING PROVIDES CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT GUARANTEES RESULTS

8 HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK PRELIMINARY WALK THRU ENERGY AUDIT PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY REPORT LETTER OF INTENT OR MOU INVESTMENT GRADE ENERGY AUDIT PROJECT FINANCING PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION & MANAGEMENT MEASUREMENT & VERIFICATION 7/1/2013 8

9 ENERGY OPTIMIZATION PROJECT FINANCING OPTIONS LEASE AGREEMENT. FACILITY PAYS MONTHLY LEASE PAYMENTS OVER 3 5 YEAR PERIOD. + PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CONTRACT OPTION.

10 PROJECT FINANCING OPTIONS PERFORMANCE/SHARED SAVINGS CONTRACT WITH AN ESCO. FACILITY CHARGED FOR ENERGY DELIVERED BY COGENERATION OR ENGINE DRIVEN CHILLER AT 85% OF PREVAILING UTILITY RATES. FACILITY LEASE OR PURCHASE ENERGY CONSERVATION PRODUCTS.

11 HURDLES TO ENERGY PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION LACK OF CONSISTENT ENERGY POLICIES AND STRATEGIES. DEARTH OF ENERGY PROJECTS IMPLEMENTATION EXPERTISE. POTENTIALLY HIGH DEBT BURDEN MAKES GUARANTEES DIFFICULT. LOW BUSINESS ACCEPTANCE OF EE & RE TECHNOLOGIES DUE TO COST STRUCTURE FAVOURING FOSSIL FUELS AND LITTLE INCENTIVES. LOCAL BANKS APPEAR RELUCTANT TO FUND RE/ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECTS, REFLECTING A LACK OF CONFIDENCE OR KNOWLEDGE. LOCAL INSURANCE COMPANIES SEE THE INVESTMENT AS HIGH RISK REFLECTING A LACK OF CONFIDENCE OR KNOWLEDGE.

12 HURDLES TO ENERGY PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION FACILITY OPERATORS ARE NOT TOTALLY AWARE OF ENERGY RATE FACILITY OPERATORS ARE NOT TOTALLY AWARE OF ENERGY INDEX FACILITY OPERATORS ARE NOT TOTALLY AWARE OF THE VALUE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES FACILITY OPERATORS ARE NOT TOTALLY AWARE OF THE VALUE OF ALTERNATIVE OR RENEWABLE ENERGY MEASURES FACILITY OPERATORS ARE NOT TOTALLY AWARE OF WHO TO TURN TO ESCOS NOT AVAILABLE OR LIMITED CHOICES FACILITY OPERATOR MIGHT NOT BE TOTALLY AWARE OF HOW TO IDENTIFY SAVINGS BENEFITS, PERCENTAGES, PAYBACK PERIODS AND ROI

13 SHORT LIST OF ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES IDEAL FOR ESCO IMPLEMENTATION (POTENTIAL SAVINGS) ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (5% - 10%) COMMERCIAL SOLAR WATER HEATING SYSTEMS (90%) HIGH EFFICIENCY AIR CONDITIONING AND REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT (50%) WATER RECOVERY SYSTEMS (20%) OCCUPANCY SENSOR CONTROLLERS FOR HOTELS (30%) POWER FACTOR CORRECTION AND ELECTRIC POWER CONDITIONERS (5%) AIR CONDITIONER HEAT EXCHANGER (90%) 7/1/

22 ESCO S WISH LIST Government and the utility providers (JPSo) partner in developing a rebate programme JPSCo to play a role as a Super ESCo participating in project implementation and applying a line item on electricity bills for recovery of funds. DBJ to establish a special window for funding qualified ESCo or ESCo projects Concentration on human resource development HEART especially in AC and refrigeration repairs Training and development of applications engineers Electricity utility or ESCo to provide distributed energy systems inclusive of trigeneration systems. Local ESCo teaming with ESCos from developed countries
