Distribution loss wastes electricity in buildings. Losses can be reversed, recovering significant cash flow.

1. Stop Flushing Money Down the Drain
Turn wasted electricity into cash
while doing environmental good
||ECRA seminar; July 2008|| 1

2. Electricity costs are rising
completely out of your control
Cost Increases are driven by
• Growing demand
• Aging/inefficient power plant and
distribution grid
– Only 1/3 of generated power reaches you
– Waste is part of your cost
• Premium cost of new technologies
• Minimal near-term impact of green
generation alternatives
• Regulation stifles production
– Actual
– Anticipated
You cannot control price (kWh)
You CAN get control of your consumption
||ECRA seminar; July 2008|| 2

3. Most businesses buy electricity they don’t use
. . . that’s money down the drain
• Businesses typically waste 5 to 30% of the power they buy
Typical kWh waste by type of electric load
• Motors: 5 – 10%
• Lighting: 10 – 20%
• Cooling/Refrigeration: 15 – 30%
• Associated problems = real costs
– Wear on machines, lighting, cooling and refrigeration
– Power quality issues
– Capacity issues?
||ECRA seminar; July 2008|| 3

4. Buy only the power you need
. . . and use all the power you buy
• Cutting consumption is most effective and permanent way to control cost
• Buying only what you need guarantees immediate and enduring gains
• Whole building/incremental approach:
Many small gains produce a significant cumulative effect
– Correct losses at the points of consumption
– Treat only those loads where an ROI is demonstrable
– Protect and prolong existing equipment investment

6. Benefits: significant and quantifiable
• Solution paid for by savings
• Smoothed voltage – longer equipment life
– Cooler panels, wiring, circuit breakers, transformers, and switchgear
– Cooler running motors and lighting, reduced downtime
– Reduced fire hazard from overloading
• More cooling capacity from A/C and refrigeration
• Increased electrical system capacity, 5% - 20%
• Power conditioning (reduced harmonics, fluctuations and other interference
from internal power lines)
• Impact on business operations = None
– No production downtime—installation is non-intrusive
– No changes to business operations
– No ongoing management required, “install & forget”

8. Who benefits?
Is there an imperative to act?
Are objectives achievable in light of other priorities?
Financial
Eliminate unnecessary consumption
Will invest if
• Minimal risk
• Fast, guaranteed ROI
Pressures & Incentives Operational Efficiency
• Improve electrical equipment
to “BE GREEN”
operation, (less downtime), reliability,
• Competitive Edge
and longevity
• Utility rate, government tax incentives
• Recapture distribution capacity
• Social & political considerations
Organizations with
• Long hours of operation
• Electricity-intensive processes
• Bills > $200,000/year
||ECRA seminar; July 2008|| 8

9. Conservation benefits
Your business, the economy & environment
Turn wasted electricity into
cash for your business
• Preserve production and distribution infrastructure
• Defer building power plants for peak loads, esp. coal
• Lessen dependency on imported fuels
