Energy Efficiency, Conservation
• “A clean world takes a lot of dirty work” Mike Rowe – Dirty Jobs – Discovery Channel
• There is plenty of work to be done in Kansas for 50 years on energy efficiency and conservation
ARRA funding from KCC
• Revolving loan fund for Residential and Light Commercial – Two options
• Payments on the utility bill• EE loan through participating banks
– Details• Average dollar amount of upgrade around $6000
with $1500 usually paid for upfront by homeowner• Requires an energy audit

Innovation is on the consumer side
• Dynamic Pricing-Pricing for incremental and time of use, not bulk sale of averaged price electricity.
• Smart Grid defined– Self healing/correcting– Motivate customers to be active grid
participants/controllers of grid– Resist attack-physical/cyber– Increased power quality for modern uses– Accommodate all generation/storage options– Facilitate markets– Optimize all assets/operations
So, you want to make money in energy solutions
• Ray’s advice for what it is worth– Get as close to the consumer as you can
• This is not production solutions, it is consumption solutions
– The answer is simple: Consumers want to “TiVo ®” energy
• Let them• Real time pricing• Instant consumption feedback• Information• Remember Dirty Jobs……
