3 Non-Residential Energy Efficiency Program Guidelines All projects require pre-approval. Rebate application and necessary supporting document must be submitted prior to work the start of work to qualify for the PUD rebate programs. Appliance rebates are an exception to this rule. Eligibility requirements vary depending on the type of project. See program guidelines for more information. Please allow several weeks for the pre-approval process. Varying information must be submitted for pre-approval including application. Depending on size, Custom and Deemed projects may require an Energy Efficiency Implementation agreement to commit the funds in the annual budget. Projects, other than custom, should be completed within 6 months of pre-approval to receive rebate. Grays Harbor PUD must approve any extension to pre-approvals. The program provides rebates for deemed measures as well as non-standard (custom) rebates. Custom rebate amounts are calculated based upon annual kilowatt-hours saved, up to 50% of project cost. Eligible projects must have a simple payback analysis of one year or more. All projects must conform to local building, mechanical, electrical, fire, energy, ventilation, and environmental codes to be eligible for a rebate. Project materials must also meet the District s and regional conservation specifications and requirements. All deemed measures must comply with the latest version of the Bonneville Power Administration s Energy Efficiency Implementation Manual, which is subject to change on an annual basis. Grays Harbor PUD reserves the right to revise program rules and guidelines, including discontinuing all or part of the available incentives, at any time and without prior notice. All projects, once approved, will be subject to the guidelines in place at the time of approval. Although legal in the State of Washington, the production, processing, or sale of marijuana remains prohibited by federal law. Federal energy efficiency funding may not be used for these facilities.

7 ENERGY SMART INDUSTRIAL PROGRAM ESI PROGRAM COMPONENTS ENERGY SMART INDUSTRIAL PARTNER (ESIP): The ESIP is a dedicated industrial energy efficiency expert assigned by the ESI program who provides utility staff with a single point-of-contact for coordinating the ESI program and its resources. ENERGY MANAGEMENT: Energy Management is a pilot component of the ESI program that addresses the opportunities to acquire energy savings through improved operations and maintenance (O&M) and management practices. There are three core features of Energy Management: 1. Energy Project Manager co-funding The goal of Energy Project Manager co-funding is to increase end user management and engineering efforts devoted to electrical energy projects/activities and increase the number of industrial projects submitted. 2. Track and Tune Projects Track and Tune is designed to financially and technically help the end user do the little things well while installing a tracking system that allows ESI program staff and end users ability to track energy performance and savings over multiple years. 3. High Performance Energy Management High Performance Energy Management provides training and support to end users on how to implement energy management into their core business practices. High Performance Energy Management is the application of the principles and practices of continuous improvement to energy management within an end user s organization. SMALL INDUSTRIAL MEASURES: The Small Industrial component provides a cost-effective mechanism to handle specific efficiency measures where the energy savings on individual projects are small in relation to typical industrial projects. ENHANCED LIGHTING: Enhanced Lighting can be considered an extension of the existing Northwest Trade Ally Network to drive more industrial lighting projects. Industrial Lighting Specialists are assigned to participating utilities to assist in these efforts. Guidelines: Rebate application and all necessary supporting documentation will be required before approval. Program requires an Energy Efficiency Project Implementation Agreement to be signed to commit the funding for the project. Timeframes are determined in this agreement. Incentives levels*: $0.18/per kwh saved, limited to 50% of the project cost, or simple payback period. *Incentives are evaluated on a case by case basis and may be limited based on the availability of funds. Contact us at (360) for more details.

8 COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL/AGRICULTURAL CUSTOM REBATE PROGRAM The program provides rebates for any project with verifiable electric energy savings, including large projects for commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers. Rebates are determined based on actual energy savings up to $0.18/kWh and cannot exceed 50% of the total project cost. Some examples of projects include: Electronically Commutated Motor Variable Frequency Drive for Pump, Motors, Compressed Air, or Fan Systems Large Commercial Shell Measures New Construction HVAC Controls Commercial Refrigeration Measures NOTE: Custom projects follow the guidelines of Bonneville Power Administration s Measurement and Verification protocols. M/V Protocol: Before efficiency measure is installed, existing electrical consumption is measured. Based on this measurement and estimated energy savings, an estimated incentive is calculated. During post-installation measurement of efficiency project, energy savings are verified, these verified energy savings will be calculated into the actual incentive for the project. Guidelines: Rebate application and all necessary supporting documentation will be required before approval. Program may require an Energy Efficiency Project Implementation Agreement to be signed to commit the funding for the project. Timeframes are determined in this agreement. Incentives levels* : $0.18/per kwh saved, limited to 50% of the project cost, or simple payback period. *Incentives are evaluated on a case by case basis and may be limited based on the availability of funds. Agricultural deemed incentives are based on predetermined amounts, but are capped at $0.18/kWh saved, or 50% of total project cost, whichever is less. Contact us at (360) for more details.
