DTE Energy’s 2013 Energy Efficiency Program for Business Wastewater Treatment Opportunities 1
2013 Energy Efficiency Program for Business In this presentation • Program Overview • Customers & Contractors • About Designated Trade Allies • About Incentives • How Our Program Works/Project Examples • Wastewater Treatment Opportunities • 2013 Program Catalog & Application 2
Program Overview Program purpose To help commercial and industrial contractors and customers*: • Improve energy efficiency. • Increase energy efficiency awareness. • Reduce energy consumption. • Reward businesses for installing energy-saving measures. *Residential and Multi-Family customers do not qualify for this Program 3
Program Overview Program funding • Michigan Public Act 295 (2008) implemented a statewide ―Energy Optimization Surcharge‖ that is added to all rate payers’ bills each year to achieve these goals: • Help customers save energy, manage costs. • Reduce generation, offset new capacity. • This ―surcharge‖ is rebated through the program as incentives that: • Target specific energy-saving equipment and technologies. • Encourage energy-efficiency building and systems design. 4

Program Overview Since 2009 • More than $52 million in cash rebates have been paid to Michigan businesses. • Electric: $44.4million • Gas: $6.2 million • More than 18,000 projects have been completed. • More than 1,297 GWh and 3.3 million Mcf have been realized in energy savings. • More than $87 million has been realized in energy savings. 6
How our program works There are three types of projects • Predetermined measures and incentives for the installation Prescriptive of various energy efficient improvements. • Incentives typically average 20% to 50% of the incremental cost. • Capital investment projects that increase energy efficiency Custom and are NOT eligible for a Prescriptive Incentive may qualify as a Custom Measure. • Custom Incentives are determined on a case-by-case basis and are paid per unit energy saved (ex: $0.08/kWh and/or $4/Mcf). • New facilities/major renovations of existing facilities or New Construction change of use projects. Major Renovation • Adding load. 7

Program Overview About Incentives 17
About Incentives For you to receive incentives • Qualified measures must be installed at facilities served by DTE Energy. • Projects must involve a capital investment that results in an improvement in energy efficiency of a system or building. • The equipment installed must be new and meet the specifications spelled out in the Catalog. • For each site, there must be at least one meter that is on an eligible rate schedule. • You must be in good standing with DTE Energy and not be a Residential or Multifamily customer. 18
About Incentives These do not qualify for an incentive • Customers who self-direct (and have opted out of the program) • Load shifting/demand limiting projects. • Renewable energy projects. • Power quality improvements. • Fuel switching projects. • On-site electricity generation. • Changes in operational and/or maintenance practices or simple control modifications that do NOT involve capital costs. 19
How our program works Our Program timeline is simple: Reservation Application Application Review (may require pre-inspection) Reservation Letter issued (Proceed with project) Install Measures (Project must start within 30 days and be completed within 90 days of approval or end of Program year, whichever comes first.) Final Application & Review (may require post-inspection) $$$$$ 20
How our program works Our Program timeline is simple: Reservation Application Reservation Application to Letter: 4-6 weeks Application Review (may require pre-inspection) Letter to Final Application: Reservation Letter issued (Proceed with project) 90 days or less Install Measures (Project must start within 30 days and be completed within 90 days of approval or end of Program year, whichever comes first.) Final Application to Check: Final Application & Review (may require post-inspection) 4-6 weeks $$$$$ 21
How our program works About your Final Application: • Your Final Application must be submitted within 60 days of completion of your project – and include all supporting documentation. • Failure to do so could result in delay of payment or cancellation of your Application. 22
How our program works $ Prescriptive Prescriptive • Pre-determined measures with specific energy savings and cash rebates: 23
How our program works: Project examples $ Prescriptive Electric Project Example: Auto Dealership: Lighting upgrade • Total project cost................... $102,216 • Total rebate........................... $23,434 • Project cost after rebate........ $78,782 • Total kWh saved/yr................ 130,750 • Simple payback..................... 2 years 24
How our program works: Project examples $ Prescriptive Gas Project Example: Warehouse: Energy Management System • Total project cost................... $59,780 • Total rebate........................... $25,000 • Project cost after rebate........ $34,780 • Total Mcf saved/yr................ 8,670 • Simple payback..................... 1.1 years 25
How our Program works $ Custom Custom: • Measures that do not fall within any specific prescriptive program. • Energy savings and cash rebates are calculated on a case-by-case basis. • Can be combined with prescriptive measures. 26

How our Program works New Construction/Major Renovation: $ New Construction Major Renovation • New facilities/major renovations of existing facilities/change of use. • Adding load. • Two types of Applications: • Whole Building Design Approach : • Based on three tiers of efficiency • Requires energy modeling. • System Approach: • Pre-determined to optimize energy efficiency of individual systems. 29
Wastewater Opportunities About Wastewater Treatment Opportunities 30
Wastewater Opportunities Energy Profile • Wastewater Treatment facility owners and operators can lower their monthly utility costs by implementing a wide range of energy efficiency measures. • These cost savings go straight to the bottom line. • However: Reducing energy costs while continuing to meet the diverse requirements of your operations can be challenging. 31
