  1. Conservation, Efficiency and Sustainability in Energy J. Todd Hall Vice President Lincoln Electric System Lincoln, Nebraska

  2. Energy Consumption Per Person

  3. Interesting Fact For every reduction in Kwh…. 2 pounds of Carbon Dioxide reduction

  4. Interesting Fact • It’s A Paradox. • LES Is Not Driven By Increasing Sales. • LES Is Driven For Increasing Efficiency In System Operations.

  5. Is it Conservation… • Conservation, By Webster a careful preservation and protection of something ; especially: planned management of a natural resource to prevent exploitation, destruction, or neglect 2: the preservation of a physical quantity during transformations or reactions

  6. …or Efficiency… • Efficiency, by Webster's effective operation as measured by a comparison of production with cost (as in energy, time, and money) (2): the ratio of the useful energy delivered by a dynamic system to the energy supplied to it

  7. …or Sustainability? • Sustainability, by Webster's of, relating to, or being a method of harvesting or using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged <sustainable techniques><sustainable agriculture>b: of or relating to a lifestyle involving the use of sustainable methods

  8. Actually, It’s Easy to be all of these things…

  9. Existing Facilities Whether it is residential, commercial or industrial, Success is in 5 areas… • Space Conditioning • Lighting • Envelope • Ancillary Appliances • Process

  10. LES’ Sustainable Energy Program Goals • Financial savings to the consumer; • Mitigation of year-to-year system load growth; and • Concerted effort to reduce peak load impact. Year 1- Potential reduction of 6.4 MW in demand and 13,246 MWh in energy.

  11. Current Program Overview Continue to promote services currently built into service delivery & annual budgets, including: On Going Services Walk-thru Audits Compressed Air System Audits Residence and Facility Thermography Energy Star Homes Energy Ideas on City Access Channel 5 Energy Depot for Home & Business Energy Efficient Mortgages Energy Savings Tips

  12. New Program Offerings NEW Cash Incentive Offerings: • Whole House Tune Up Program • Low Income Weatherization Program • LES High Efficiency Heat Pump Program • Commercial HVAC Maintenance • Commercial Lighting Retrofit Program • Systems Commissioning • Energy Efficiency Grant Program.

  13. Summary of All Programs

  14. Renewable Energy Status • LES Board direction to acquire up to 15 Mw. • LES is in the process of acquiring 9 Mw of wind energy from NPPD. • Limited transmission access has slowed the finalization of contract. • A total of 6.5% total energy from Renewable Resources

  15. Final Comments • Energy Conservation, Efficiency, Sustainability is support by Electric Utilities. • It makes cents. • It is easy.
