2 Agenda What are we trying to achieve? Energy Monitoring and Metering Trends ActOnEnergy Metering/Monitoring Incentive Program InfoWise Program - Xcel Energy Energy Intelligence for Industry Pilot Program Overview Next Steps Q&A

3 What are we trying to achieve? How much energy am I using? What is it costing me? What can I do about it? What should I look for in an energy monitoring/metering platform? A robust energy monitoring platform should serve as a customer engagement tool which transforms raw data into actionable energy saving insights

4 It s the Wild, Wild West Out There Energy monitoring/metering is a new & emerging industry Metering technology and data analytics have driven down cost and improved customer engagement Utilities and Public Utility Commissions (PUCs) typically consider this a premium service Utility incentivized behavior modification programs are emerging for C/I customers 4

5 Typical Utility Cost Tracking Approach Bills paid by accounting Facility manager has limited knowledge of energy usage and costs Some facilities utilize Excel spreadsheets or Energy Star Portfolio Manager Some collect the data but don t know what to do with it Tracking is typically retrospective looking back on what has already occurred 5

6 Drilling Down The Data Billing Level Data Easily accessible Monthly/Daily 15 Minute Interval Data Requires utility interval data recorder (IDR) or pulse device Requires data handshake with utility Real-time 1 Minute Interval Data Requires equipment deployment Monitoring device and current transformers 6

7 Making the Data Accessible Ameren Illinois AMI Deployment Investment in Interval Data Recording (IDR) devices Initiated in 2014 Residential and Commercial/Industrial Customers Future programs may leverage this data Green Button Initiative Secure way to get your energy usage information electronically 7

8 Making the Data Accessible (cont) Green Button Initiative (continued) Industry led effort that responds to a White House call to action Provide electricity customers with easy access to their energy usage data in a consumer friendly and computer friendly environment Ameren Illinois, Ameren Missouri, ComEd have made Green Button commitments 8

9 Behavior Modification Opportunities No cost/low cost operational changes 5-15% annual savings achievable Load profile management Is the building going to sleep overnight? Is the building going to sleep on the weekends? Are there demand spikes that are driving higher utility costs? Is equipment running when it s not intended? 9

10 Energy Efficiency Retrofit Opportunities Capital equipment retrofits identified by continuous metering/monitoring Incentives available through ActOnEnergy Standard or Custom Programs Lighting VFDs HVAC Energy Management Control Systems 10

11 ActOnEnergy Metering and Monitoring Incentive Behavior Modification/Operational Savings Program Energy Advisors available as a resource to assist you in leveraging the benefits 11

12 ActOnEnergy Metering and Monitoring Incentive Base Incentive Metering/Monitoring Installation Cost Lesser of 50% of cost or $10k Performance Incentive 1 cent/kwh up to $10k Based on implemented custom and standard projects identified by metering/monitoring 12

13 Project Example-Real Time-Monitoring Budgetary cost (per meter) $100 one time setup $1,000 equipment $100 monthly recurring $2,300 total first year cost Base Incentive $1,150 financial incentive (50% of first year) Performance Incentive 50,000 kwh custom/standard project identified $500 financial incentive 13

14 InfoWise Program-Xcel Energy Provided to commercial/industrial customers for the past 8 years Service territory includes CO, NM, TX, ND, SD, MN, WI, and MI Customer fees are included in monthly bills Customer choice/premium service no incentives provided Currently launching a behavior modification pilot program 14

15 Customer Satisfaction Xcel Energy Survey of Customers After using reports, customers reported a significant improvement in understanding of energy usage. After using reports, customers reported a significant improvement in understanding of energy usage. *Conducted 2010, 28% responses ran, with $10 gift card incentive to participate. 15

16 Customer Satisfaction Xcel Energy Survey of Customers After using reports, customers reported: 71% saw improved energy efficiency 67% saw behavioral changes at facility 40% undertook additional efficiency projects 16

17 Examples of Customers Using Metering & Monitoring Technology 17

18 Energy Intelligence for Industry Pilot program for industrial customers in Minnesota Customer engagement is provided by the Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) 18

19 Energy Intelligence for Industry Goal was to prove the feasibility of capturing energy savings through behavior modification/operational changes Preliminary results show success in behavior modification savings as well as identification of capital equipment project retrofits 19

21 Common Uses of Metering & Monitoring 1. General understanding of day-today usage 2. Identify peak demand 3. M&V of energy efficiency projects 4. Identify cost saving opportunities 5. Build up management understanding and awareness 7. Interruptible or peak control curtailment 8. Cost allocation 9. Live dashboards for troubleshooting 10. Real-time alerts 11. Benchmarking 6. Review data with consultants/partners 21

22 Compare Multiple Years, Months, and Days 22

23 Track & Compare Energy Performance in Real-time 23

24 Real-time, Multi-user Alerts & Goals Voice call to your phone to your computer or cell Text message to your mobile 24

25 Independent Monitoring Solutions Equipment agnostic Cellular, Wi-Fi & Ethernet Wireless solutions Sub-metering Advanced capabilities 25

26 Normalization Engine: Normalizes via 15 minute or finer interval data at the monthly and daily level Utilizes interval weather data, occupancy, production Improved accuracy for both demand and consumption Automatically excludes days Compliant with IMPVP Option C & ASHRAE Guideline 14 Can integrate other logged weather variables, including wind speed and cloud cover, and customer input of weather variables (temperature, pressure, etc.) Adding capability to track multiple baseline periods 26
