Demand-Side Emphasis

“…California is very specific about its loading order: energy efficiency and demand response, renewable energy, distributed generation, and fossil fuels.”John Fielder – President, Southern California Edison

Demand-Side Challenges

4

Industrials are faced with unique challenges

• Rising electrical costs are reducing plant margins• Lack of compelling, integrated solutions• Much risk to manage; productivity is primary• Pressure to “go green”; strong corporate support,

minimal site support• Capital costs of improvements are prohibitive• Must realize strong payback (often <18 months)

What is holding them back?

5

Reasons people don’t take advantage of available efficiencies:

• Economic reasons: high upfront costs, misaligned incentives, lack of aggregation (lots and lots of scattered, small gains), and inconsistent lifecycle costing.

• Policy reasons: policies are inconsistent across time and regions, utility regulations are woefully out of date...

• Informational reasons: a general lack of information available to consumers and a general lack of awareness that it matters.

• (David Rogers, DOE Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy)
