  3. PG&E’s Integrated Energy Management Pyramid

  4. PG&E’s Ag & Food Processing Targeted Market has program offerings for: • Farms and Irrigation • Postharvest facilities • Wineries & Vineyards • Dairies • Greenhouses • Food Processors • Refrigerated warehouses

  5. Energy Efficiency Services at a Glance • Analysis: Energy Audits and Pump Tests • Cash Rebates for equipment replacement • Customized Incentives for retrofit and new construction projects • New: Retro-Commissioning (RCX) • Third Party and Government Partnerships provide special services and program bundles • Education and Training • Emerging Technologies • Codes & Standards

  6. Energy Audits • PG&E will conduct an on-site audit of your facility, equipment and bills • Audit can evaluate efficiency, DR and distributed generation opportunities • Audit report itemizes 1) no cost 2) low cost and 3) investment grade recommendations. • Includes estimated energy/cost savings, investment paybacks, and available PG&E incentives. • Use this report as a Project Roadmap to help prioritize and plan your energy investments.

  7. Pump Tests and Repair • Ag Pumping Efficiency Program (APEP) available to irrigators and MUNI Water Ag • Pump Tests: Pays $150 - $200 subsidy towards test costs - Customers select from a list of participating testers at www.pumpefficiency.org • Pump Test report indicate water flow rate, pumping lift, discharge pressure & energy input, and identifies repair opportunities • Incentives: APEP pays .08/kwh saved for pump repairs. Post-test report is required • Seminars: Available for your area with a mobile pump testing unit • Help: APEP pump efficiency hotline at 1(800) 845-6038

  8. Rebates • Rebates are the fastest and easiest way to get cash back for common energy efficiency retrofits • Hundreds of pre-determined rebates are available in different equipment categories • Check out the Ag and Food Processing Rebate Catalogue for all rebates that apply • Tank insulation, greenhouse heat curtains, sprinkler to drip, pipe insulation, high bay lighting retrofits, etc… • Applications get sent in after the project is completed, along with your paid invoices • Rebate is delivered in about 4 weeks

  9. Customized Incentives • For projects not available on the rebate catalog • Standard incentive rates paid per kWh or therm reduced • PG&E will pay up to 50% of project implementation cost for retrofits up to $3.6 million - can go to facility owner or owner’s project sponsor (ie,vendor) • Calculation support is available • Important! PG&E needs to pre-approve your project and do a pre-inspection of your existing equipment

  10. Savings By Design New Construction Program • Encourages high-performance building and process system design • PG&E offers free consulting services to help you optimize the performance of your planned expansion and calculate savings and rebates on different options you may be considering • Performance-based incentives are based on energy savings beyond either Title 24 or industry standard practice, up to $500K/project • Bring your project to PG&E as early as possible for the best result. A project manager will be assigned to usher your project through the program

  11. Retro-Commissioning (RCX) • Offers audits and incentives to do bring existing equipment up to optimum operating conditions (i.e., control systems, wine tank insulation repair, HVAC) • Provides an audit, report, and incentives to pay down the project to a 1 year payback

  12. Competitively Selected “Third Party” Programs serving Ag/Food • Comprehensive Dairy Audit and Retrofit Program (RSG) – Integrated Audits, technical support, project support, incentives • Dairyrebate program (Ensave) offers rebates on VFDs, precoolers, lighting, compressors, vent. Fans, controls, and motors. • Industrial Refrigeration audit and retrofit program(VaCom) provides audits, rebates, controls strategies, ongoing monitoring and facility ops training • Enovity Boiler Efficiecy Program – Focusing on efficiency projects that can be paired with NOX upgrade requirements • Ag Mercury Vapor retrofit program (RHA) provides free mercury vapor retrofits for ag communities and also acts as a fundraiser for local ag organizations for each retrofit submitted. • Comprehensive Food Processing Program (Global Energy Partners)

  13. Education and Training • Education and Training • Hundreds of classes offered throughout the year - green building, LEED, solar, Title 24, HVAC, lighting, process systems, materials, daylighting, etc. • San Francisco, Stockton, partnership locations, and web-based learning. Click on “Education and Training” on www.pge.com home page for a full schedule • Industry-specific and System-specific • Irrigation efficiency, winery and vineyard workshops, dairies, food processing • Refrigeration, boilers, compressed air, motors and VDS, steam systems • Go to www.pge.com home page, top right to search for classes

  14. Emerging Technologies to Codes & Standards • Emerging Technologies: Brings new opportunities into the portfolio by identifying market-ready emerging energy efficient technologies and deploying them. Examples: • Electrodialysis for winery tartrate stabilization • WWT - oxygen injection, solar-bee pumping • Dairy refrigeration design improvements • Thermosorber for hot and cold water apps • Field precooling efficiency improvements • Codes and Standards: Sunsets incentives for technologies by working with the CEC to codify them
