Expedited Delivery System for Energy Efficiency Projects

What is The Energy Network? The Energy Network strives to achieve an unprecedented level of energy savings across Southern California.

Who Is In The Network?

Developed Projects 53 Enrolled Public Agencies Identified Savings Active Projects 108 52 million Facilities 140 kWh Savings Streetlights 29k 65,000 3,700 Construction Jobs 665 Therm Savings kW Savings Construction Value $61m

Participating Water Agencies • Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority • Western Municipal Water District • Running Springs Water District • Eastern Municipal Water District • Yucaipa Valley Water District • Orange County Sanitation District • Cucamonga Valley Water District • City of Ventura • Jurupa Community Services District • City of Oxnard • Inland Empire Utilities Agency • City of Barstow • City of Downey • City of Santa Barbara

Changing Water-Energy Landscape Conditions and circumstances of water availability is driving a major energy paradigm shift – away from historic technologies

What is Your Energy Bill Costing You? Water and wastewater facilities can reduce their electricity cost by as much as 40 percent Older buildings can waste 30 percent or more of the energy they consume

The Opportunities are Many… • Primary clarifiers • Mixing • Aeration • Nitrogen removal • Sludge handling • Variable speed drives • UV disinfection

…So Are the Challenges • In-house technical expertise • Staffing for project management • Onerous procurement process • Prioritizing energy efficiency projects • Incentive and rebate procedures • Persistence of savings

…So Are the Challenges ● Energy is the second highest cost, after labor, for most water/wastewater utilities, ● it is usually 10 th in the ranking of utility priorities. Many agencies lack internal staff resources and technical expertise to fully investigate deep energy retrofit opportunities.

Your One Stop Resource A full range of energy efficiency services: ● Project management ● Comparative energy use analysis of facilities ● Investment grade energy audits ● Performance specifications ● Contractor Scope of Work development ● Construction management support services ● Expedited construction procurement services ● Financial services provided by PFM ● Ongoing energy management tools ● Objective third party review

A Novel Approach to Operational Efficiency Process-Based Energy Management Strategy (PBEMS) • Development of energy use profile • Identify process interactions • Risk mitigation • Regulatory compliance • Reduce wasted energy • Long-Term Planning

Optimizing the Water-Energy Nexus ● Reducing energy usage requires a major shift in HOW and WHY work is performed and energy is used ● Energy optimization is based upon a Best-Fit Curve of energy use for the work to be performed

Measurement You cannot optimize what you are not measuring If you are not measuring it, you cannot optimize it.

Assessment Know how and where energy is used and for what purpose ● What needs to be done? Functional Analysis ● How is it being done? Condition Assessment ● Can it be done better? Technology Gap Analysis ● Does it change risk? Risk Analysis

Optimization Use exactly enough energy to perform the required work ● Change applied energy to fit the demand curve, or ● Change the demand condition to match desired energy profile
