EXHIBIT A
➢ Lodi Keep Your Cool Program: This targeted, direct -install energy conservation
program will soon enter its third calendar year here in Lodi. The program
provides rebates for participating, eligible commercial customers, assigned to the
either the Gl or G2 electric utility rate. The majority of customers participating
will be restaurants, mini -markets, donut shops, small grocery stores, etc. For the
2010-2011 program years, the installed energy efficiency measures will include:
high efficiency motors, fan motor controllers, anti -sweat heater controls, and
infiltration barriers, such as gaskets, strip curtains and door closers. In light of the
fact that 30% to 50% of a restaurant or grocery store's annual energy costs are
consumed by refrigeration, this is an excellent, targeted program in helping
customers reduce their operating costs. Depending on customer participation, the
program will save an estimated 150,000-300,000 kilowatt hours annually, thus
reducing operating costs for these customers. Note: for the 2009-2010 program
year, Lodi Keep Your Cool assisted 22 commercial customers, generating in
excess of 400,000 kilowatt hours of energy savings annually. The program
(including all material installation) will again be administered by the Bay Area
Gasket Guy, with the professional services agreement for $50,000.
➢ Lodi VendingMiser Installation Program: This is a new energy conservation
program designed for commercial/industrial customers. SBW Consulting,
Incorporated of Bellevue, Washington will administer this direct -install program,
retrofitting over 110 inefficient cold beverage vending machines throughout the
community. As part of the $25,000 professional services contract, SBW will
identify the locations of the vending machines for retrofit. SBW will then
physically retrofit the units with technology that serves as an energy management
system. This system automatically reduces energy load to the vending machine
(shutting off lighting and cycling the unit's motor off), when the machine is not in
frequent use by patrons, thus serving as an effective energy control device. It is
anticipated that annual energy savings will top 175,000 kilowatt hours for the 110
retrofitted cold beverage vending machines.
➢ Lodi On-LineEnergyAudit Program: Lodi Electric Utility offers on-line energy
audits for residential customers. The on-line service, known as the
HomeEnergySuite, is provided by the firm APOGEE Interactive. The on-line tool
provides customers with the ability to determine how their monthly energy dollars
are expended. The tool also provides access to lighting and appliance calculators,
an educational `Kids Komer' and an energy conservation reference library. On
average, fifty to seventy-five customers per month utilize this free service. The
professional services contract with APOGEE Interactive for the 2010-2011
program year is for $29,800. In addition to maintaining the database/on-line tool,
APOGEE Interactive also provides monthly updates on customer "hits" (how
many customers are utilizing the service), and continually updates the energy
conservation reference library with new and emerging energy technologies. New
for the 2010-2011 fiscal year is the addition of a small business on-line energy
audit program, which will allow customers to identify energy use patterns via the
computer, similar to the aforementioned residential on-line audit program.
