How Paid from Savings Programs Work

Each program is designed to generate savings by reducing utility and maintenance costs.

A portion of the savings is used to repay the lender and remaining savings can be used by the District to fund other immediate mission-critical priorities.

The capital to build the program is provided by third-party financing.

22

Energy Savings Guarantee

Guarantee Establish an energy baseline of existing equipment and conditions (Baseline).

Subtract new equipment energy consumption from historical energy baseline consumption to identify project energy savings.

Use International Performance Measurement & Verification Protocols to report program savings on a quarterly basis.

California Energy Commission has established their own energy savings procedures for Prop.39 funds.

Savings Reconciliation Process In the event of a savings short fall, OpTerra will pay the difference to the District in accordance with contract terms.

In the event of an increased savings, over the contracted guarantee, the District retains the savings in accordance with contracted terms.

Note: OpTerra currently has over 50 clients with ongoing guarantees that total over $750 million.
