Premium-Efficient Motors Initiative • Launched in 1996 • Based on EPAct 1992 scope of motors: • Aligned with NEMA PremiumTM in 2001 • For motors covered under EPACT • Forty-seven participants in 2006-7 • Majority offer prescriptive programs for 1-200 hp motors • Custom programs for larger motors and motor systems
Scope of Covered Products • CEE Specification • 1 – 200 Hp • Low-voltage • General-purpose • NEMA Premium Specification • 1-200 Hp • Low-voltage • General- purpose • ----PLUS---- • 250 – 500 Hp • Medium-voltage • Special & definite purpose
Major Accomplishments in Motors • Revised CEE Premium-Efficiency Motor Initiative to include a guidance specification for large, low-voltage electric motors (250-500 hp) • Released the 2007 Motor and Drive Program Summary describing the program offerings of 47 CEE members Available on CEE’s website: www.cee1.org. • Current motor research: • Impacts to programs of the recently enacted federal minimum efficiency standards for motors • Exploring medium-voltage, special and definite purpose motors • Exploring 50hz motors (most commonly found in Europe) given limited baseline information and industry proposed performance levels.
2008 Priorities • Prepare for implementation of Energy Independence and Security Act • Anticipate motor standards’ impact on industrial market and on programs. • For example: • Develop best practice repair guidance for programs • Review energy performance and market readiness of advanced motor technologies • Develop consistent language to facilitate customer education
2008 Priorities • Monitor proposed tax credits for motors prior to the new standards going into effect. • Purchasers of qualified energy efficient motors would be allowed a credit in an amount equal to $15 per horsepower of qualified energy efficient motors placed in service by the taxpayer during the taxable year. • Potential implications: • Encourage end-use consumers to invest in premium efficiency • Encourage replacement rather than extend the life of inefficient motors
Motor Management: Motor Decisions MatterSM • A national campaign designed to improve the way industrial motor repair/replace decisions are made by promoting the financial and performance benefits of sound motor management policies to industrial managers • Increase industry’s awareness of motor management opportunities • Increase demand for NEMA PremiumTM motors & best practice motor repair • Encourage the market to engage in motor planning • Collaborate nationally to enhance local effectiveness

What is the opportunity? • Current environment for broader and deeper energy savings is driving members to re-assess industrial energy savings in the process area and to identify program opportunities. • identifying cross-cutting, process-specific measures • targeting industrial sub-sectors
The refining, chemical, paper and metal industries together use 71% of total inputs of energy for heat, power, and electricity generation. Industrial Sector Energy Use by Sub-sector
Emerging Program Models Sector-Specific Approaches • Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance is focusing on food processing and pulp and paper • PG&E and SCE are focusing on data centers, bio-tech, water treatment, agriculture, food processing, wineries and oil refining • NYSERDA is focusing on sector-specific strategies, such as hospitality, municipal water and wastewater and industry.
Industrial Process Energy is an Emerging Opportunity for Programs • CEE members are coming together through the Industrial Program Planning Committee: • to provide a forum for members to share program strategies in the industrial sector • to tap into the collective experience of member industrial efficiency programs (Technical Assistance, Custom Projects, Demonstration Projects, SPC/Standard Offer) • to identify and prioritize industrial opportunities & resources (DOE, EPA) • to recommend program strategies, as appropriate
Priorities for 2008 • Review member program needs and priorities in the industrial sector in order to understand where the greatest opportunities are for programs nationally • Continue to explore opportunities for an enhanced performance specification for distribution transformers (particularly low-voltage, dry-type) • Establish a framework to assess savings opportunities by industrial sub-sector and cross-cutting technologies (system, process, etc.)
Priorities for 2008 • Assess available DOE and EPA research and resources that could potentially support member programs • Map DOE and EPA industrial program offerings to member priorities • Identify program initiatives aimed at particular industrial sub-sectors and/or process opportunities • Explore a process to accelerate market acceptance of newly developed industrial technologies
CEE’s C&I High-Efficiency Distribution Transformer Initiative • Launched in 1998, serves as a platform for programs to build demand for more efficient transformers in the commercial and industrial sector. • The initiative consists of four key components: • A voluntary low voltage transformer efficiency performance specification • Guidelines for using cost-of-ownership methods in transformer purchases • Awareness building • Incentives (where possible) • Energy Star began labeling low-voltage transformers soon afterwards.
The Opportunity for an Enhanced Performance Specification • The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) established federal minimum standards for low-voltage, dry-type distribution transformers which went into effect on January 1, 2007. • New standard is equivalent to the NEMA specifications supported by CEE and ENERGY STAR on a voluntary basis since 1998. • During the last few months of 2006 and early in 2007, a CEE subcommittee met to explore the development of specifications for dry-type, low voltage transformers based on the analysis developed by DOE during a transformer rulemaking process. • DOE rulemaking in process for medium-voltage products.
Major Accomplishments in Distribution Transformers • The CEE Distribution Transformers Committee has • reviewed DOE research on low-voltage, dry-type distribution transformers • explored the availability of products that exceed the new federal minimum standard. • The Committee is considering an enhanced specification for low-voltage products that will be vetted with industry later this year. • The Committee has also identified “super-efficient” performance level for distribution transformers that are not currently available on the market.
