OPA Programs: TGRR The Great Refrigerator Roundup Program This program seeks to retire older, secondary refrigerators and freezers and recycle them in an environmentally responsible manner. The disposal or decommissioning process results in less than a small grocery-bag of waste ending up in a landfill for every appliance retired. Foam insulation is diverted from landfill, and all recyclable materials are reclaimed.
OPA Programs: peaksaver peaksaver Demand management program for residential and small commercial customers. Relieves peak load by remotely controlling the operation of central air conditioning units (and electric water heaters, where feasible) during periods of high demand. Participating customers will have a new programmable thermostat installed free of charge ($200.00 value), and receive a financial incentive of $25.00 for enrolling.
School Safety and Conservation Seminar EnWin will be providing this seminar to 60 schools in our service territory starting Mid November, 2007 Providing elementary students with education on Electrical Safety, Electrical and Water Conservation

Welcome & Agenda Situation Overview Introduction to the Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program (ERIP) Key Dates Getting Started Application Process Sources of Information
Situation Overview What Ontario Government target to reduce electricity peak demand by 1,350 MW between 2008-2010 How Conservation and demand reduction programs: Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program (ERIP) for non-residential customers Replace inefficient products with high-efficient ones Why You benefit from incentives and lower operating costs To ensure a sustainable supply of electricity Benefit the environment
Program Overview ERIP focuses on: Prescriptive technologies: Well known technologies with established electrical savings, i.e: 1.Lighting 2.Motors 3.Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) 4.Agri-business technologies Custom projects: Reduce peak demand > 5 kw
Prescriptive Track Examples of pre-defined technologies approved for use in the program: Lighting Fluorescent lighting systems (T8, T5, CFLs) Metal halide lighting systems LED EXIT signs Occupancy sensors Motors Three-phase premium-efficiency motors 1-200 hp Cooling equipment Unitary A/C units up to 25 tons that are ENERGY STAR qualified or CEE compliant Agriculture 24 ventilation fans Swine creep heat and controls Livestock waterers
Program Overview ERIP incentives: 1. Fixed fee per unit for prescribed technologies 2. $ 150 / kw peak reduction for custom projects The program is operated by EnWin Utilities and is supported by the Ontario Power Authority.
The Timeline Submission deadline December 31, 2010
The Timeline Project savings results deadline 12 months from application approval Projects with early in-service dates will be given priority for approval Improvements will remain > 36 months
Getting Started Step 1: Identify electricity retrofit efficiency project(s) manage internally, or consult product supplier, engineering consultant Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Determine eligibility of project and whether it is a prescriptive or custom project use guideline document Complete prescriptive / custom application form, worksheets and calculation sheets obtain from EnWin Utilities website Submit documentation see information on application form

ERIP Application Checklist Prescriptive Option Prescriptive project checklist is available on the website, examples of main elements: Complete as many prescriptive worksheets as are required. Provide manufacturer s specification sheets indicating efficiency information for all equipment listed on the worksheets. If the work is complete and you are requesting an incentive, include copies of paid invoices and proof of payment. If this is an incentive request for an application for which pre-approval was initially requested, and the scope of the work changed during installation, include an explanation of these changes.

Example Exit Sign Spec Sheet
Custom project checklist is available on the website, examples of main elements: ERIP Application Checklist Custom Option Provide additional documentation if necessary to clearly explain the proposed project. Also provide manufacturer s specification sheets, indicating efficiency information for all new equipment. Complete the Custom Project Calculation Sheet and the Custom Project Detail Sheet Ensure that the values provided in the tables of the Custom Project Worksheet agree with the values on the Custom Project Calculation Sheet. Provide sufficient documentation that a reviewer can verify the values. This documentation may include estimates from contractors.
