Energy Incentives
The program promotes energy efficiency through the optimization of three phase electrical power end-use systems including compressed air, pumps and fans, industrial refrigeration, process heating, electro-chemical processes and plant-wide energy management systems. The result is lower operating costs and improved system performance.
Project incentives are paid at 10 cents/kWh for first-year savings - plus $200 per kW on winter-demand and $200 per kW on summer-demand.
Incentive Program Profiles
GRE administers a $9.5 million dollar energy rebate incentive budget in 2010 for our 28 co-ops. Fifty percent of the budget is designated for Residential and fifty percent targets Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural. This is the same budget we had in 2009 and in 2008, our budget was $6.5 million.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program has helped improve the energy efficiency of the auto manufacturing industry, which has cut fossil fuel use by 12 percent and reduced greenhouse gases by more than 700,000 tons of carbon dioxide, according to a recent report by the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University. The emissions reductions, which help to fight climate change, equal the emissions from the electricity use of more than 80,000 homes for a year.

DOE's Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) Save Energy Now energy assessments have been redesigned and improved. The new assessment process will focus on significantly increasing the implementation of identified savings opportunities - "MMBtus/year in the Ground" - while at the same time ensuring that there is significant cost/benefit for the Federal funds used for the assessments. The new assessments will provide greater value to industrial plants and better leverage the investment.

Plant-wide assessments (PWA) investigate overall energy use in industrial facilities and identify energy- and cost-saving opportunities for best practices in energy management for industry, including the adoption of new, energy-efficient technologies and process and equipment improvements. The U.S. Department of Energy cost-shares such assessments, usually through an annual competitive process.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized the first group of manufacturing sites that have met the Energy Star Challenge for Industry and reduced their energy intensity by 10 percent within 5 years or less. The U.S. manufacturing industry is responsible for nearly 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States and spends almost $100 billion annually on energy.
