Industry’s Best Practices • Know how energy is being used Know what you are paying • • Understand the onsite energy generation • Build efficiency into new projects • Participate in Edison (SCE) efficiency programs • Monitor alternative energy opportunities

Energy Utilization Power Monitoring System at Each Plant • Monthly electric, gas and heat data collected and analyzed • Energy used by each process is estimated annually • Used for cost allocations and economic analyses of alternate processes • Used as baseline for efficiency projects

Energy Utilization Power Monitoring (cont’d) System at Each Plant • Identifies opportunities for energy savings • Energy info is made available to Operations staff to optimize use • Time of day price variations • Impact of taking equipment out of service

Know What You Are Paying Bills are Analyzed for Accuracy • Credit for $25 K (SCE meter failure) • SCE credit for $73,000 for standby tariff appeal • We understand the tariffs / energy markets Operation during Peak hours • • Meet with utility reps quarterly

Build Efficiency into New Projects • Ultra Premium efficiency motors • Use of variable speed motor controllers • High efficiency lighting including LED • Multi-level lighting • Optimize pumping & blower applications to maximize efficiency

Participate in SCE Efficiency Programs • Savings by design  $193,000 received for three projects • SCE Pump testing and optimization program • Energy conservation review - Currently TEN (The Energy Network) and Lincus

Alternative Energy Opportunities Digester Gas as Renewable Fuel • AB32 implementation - GHG emissions reduced to 1990 levels by 2020 • Use gas, get credits for renewable energy • Clean and sell gas • Sell renewable energy credits • DG export requires Natural Gas to heat digesters to produce DG

Alternative Energy Opportunities Solar Energy • Limited availability of open land and roof space – 1 megawatt requires 5 acres • Cost and benefit – 1 megawatt = $5 million, payback 15 years – Power purchase agreements are “Net Metered” – Variable output based on season & weather – Energy Storage coming into use

Alternative Energy Opportunities Fuel Cells • Emerging technology • Low emissions • High cost 1 MW = $5.2 million + $300K / yr • More electrical efficiency than engines; less heat output means boiler heat required for digesters • Should be constant-loaded; abrupt load changes & shutdowns shorten cell life

Renewable H 2 Energy Station Treatment Plant Heat (future) Power Biogas Fuel Heat Cell Solids (Future) Treatme Hydrogen nt Fueling Station Efficiency: Digesters • Target (electricity + H 2 ) 50% Natural gas • Measured (electricity + H 2 ) 53.2% (backup) (July 2011) • Measured (incl. heat value) >70%

What’s In The Future • Digestion alternatives • Increase gas production – Technology: Cambi, aquacritox, and others – Supplemental fuels • Monitor fuel cell and solar advancements

Partnerships Matter • Federal/state government – DOE, USBR, EPA, DWR, CARB, and OCWD • Private sector • Utilities
