Focus on Energy
Program Mission
Accelerate energy efficiency in Wisconsin by supporting projects that
otherwise would not be completed
Why Focus on Energy?
• Approx 2/3 of each energy $1 leaves Wisconsin
• Efficient businesses are more competitive
• Wisconsin’s home owners & businesses save more than $250m annually with Focus programs
• Increases in efficiency will reduce the need for future power plants
Focus on EnergyPrograms
•Residential (single and multi-family)
•Renewable Energy

Renewable for Business
Now under each Sector (ie: Industrial)
• Biomass Combustion• Biomass Digestion• Solar Electric• Solar Water Heating• Distributed Wind
Special IncentivesIncentive options that offer flexibility for businesses
• “RFP” programs: businesses can “bid” on incentives needed to complete a project. Winning proposals are selected on competitive basis
• Staffing Grants: initiative that funds the staff time required to get energy efficiency projects implemented. Also a competitive grant.

Focus on EnergyAssistance
Best Practice Technologies
• Off-the-shelf, market-proven technologies
• Little or no perceived technological risk
• Focus incentives promote deployment
Common Industrial BP’s
Lighting
- Upgrade to T8 Fluor.
- Occupancy Sensors
Compressed Air- Repair Leaks- Reduce Pressure- Eliminate Inappr. Use- VSD Compressors- Waste Heat Reuse
Pumps & Fans- Right-size Motors- Variable Speed Control
Ventilation- Air Balance- Reduce Vol. of O.A.- System Controls
BP Sector Guidebooks
• Pulp & Paper (pulping rotors)
• Dairy Processing (floating head pressure)
• Plastics Industry (ceramic barrel heaters)
• Water & Wastewater (fine bubble diffusion)
• Metal Casting (reduce scrap)
Process Specific Opportunities

Emerging Technologies
• Technologies that have not been adopted in Wisconsin
• Real or perceived technical risk
• Eligible for FOCUS incentives as well
• Investment or shared savings available
Program Updates
• Significant reductions in incentives (about 25%) starting July 1st, 2010
• Some incentives eliminated like:
• Compressed air leak repair
• Feasibility studies
• Boiler/Chiller tune-ups
• Steam trap repair
New Custom Incentives
Why Incentive Reductions?
• Reduced energy use in Wisconsin in 2008 and 2009 resulting in reduce program funds
• Strong participation in program during first half of 2010
Feedback
• Ultimate goal is to reduce energy costs for industrial businesses
• How can we make it work better for you?
Industrial Energy Metering
• Assistance and demonstration of increased energy metering and dashboards to increase energy use knowledge and control
– Monitoring plan and follow through required
– 50% funding of new systems
– Up to $20,000 in incentives
Staffing Grants
• Provide incentive for staff to manage and implement energy efficiency projects
– Competitive
– List of projects required
– Payment when specific project is completed
Compressed Air Leak Repair
• Pay for qualified vendor to tag and fix most leaks
– Leak repair can be low priority
– Leaks on key equipment will be responsibility of facility personnel
– No cost to facility except to participate in follow-up assessment
Other ideas?
• Provide funding for targeted national experts to provide process assessments
• Provide support for % of energy intensity reduction
