Agenda
  • Evolution of MidAmericans comprehensive whole
    building approach
  • Discussion of Efficiency Partners Program
  • Early results

3
Nonresidential Energy Analysis
  • Late 1999 2003
  • Energy audits at customer request
  • MidAmerican assigned engineering firm or
  • Customers engineering firm of choice
  • Shared cost of audit
  • Incentives for installed projects
  • Very little follow-through by engineers
  • Low numbers of projects encouraging energy
    savings impacts

4
Nonresidential Energy Analysis
  • 2004 -2006
  • Pilot program
  • Delivery contractor for project management
  • Screen applicants
  • Comprehensive whole building walk-through
  • Identified low/no cost projects, capital projects
    and need for in-depth / detailed studies
  • Technical assistance
  • Follow-through by program contractor
  • Encouraging energy impacts

5
Nonresidential Energy Analysis
  • 2006 2008
  • Formal program approved
  • Marketed as Efficiency Partners
  • Introduced
  • Senior management energy diagnostic (EnVINTA)
  • Portfolio Manager
  • Action Plan w/responsibilities and timelines

Current Management Systems
  • Allocating staff
  • How are cross-functional areas managed, in
    general?
  • Teams
  • Steering committees
  • Is there a continuous improvement approach in
    place?
  • How is energy managed now?
  • Who authorizes energy-related resources?
  • Internal staffing
  • External staffing/resources
  • Investment (signing authority)
  • Allocating investment
  • What is the budget cycle?
  • What investment hurdles must be met?
  • Payback
  • IRR
  • NPV
  • Budget caps
  • Core vs. non-core functions
  • What information is needed?

Efficiency Partners Path
  • Customer Commitment
  • Comprehensiveness
  • Multiple projects
  • Capital projects
  • OM changes
  • Management systems improvements
  • Long term
  • Staffing
  • To coordinate with MidAmerican
  • To lead certain projects
  • Management involvement
  • Investment
  • Minority share on direct supply projects
  • Refundable share on studies
  • Full share on
  • Non-efficiency projects
  • Natural gas projects for gas transport customers
  • MidAmerican Resources
  • Free technical assistance
  • Facility assessment
  • Management system assessment
  • Detailed studies
  • Scoping assistance, including on gas transport
    and non-efficiency projects
  • Better rebates
  • Buy project paybacks down to as low as one year
  • Pre-approved / scheduled
  • Benchmarking information
  • Energy performance
  • Management systems
  • Project management assistance
  • Overall partnership
  • Individual projects
  • Management systems resources

9
Continuous Improvement Framework
  • Business as usual
  • Companies address energy in response to crisis
    events
  • Management focus creates short term improvement
  • When management focus shifts, performance
    backslides (until next event)
  • Continuous improvement
  • Companies implement underlying management systems
    to address energy issues
  • Management focus creates short term improvement
  • When management focus shifts, systems maintain
    and improve performance
