Demand Charges • Charged on a kW basis (or kVa)
– Real power versus apparent power • May be charged against the customer’s peak demand or the uQlity’s peak demand (coincident peak)
• Typically covers capital costs, parQcularly for peaking capacity
• Is there a Ratchet Charge? where the highest demand or consumpQon that occurs in 1 year will determine demand or energy charges for the next year.

• This fee is charged to “commercial” accounts, but not “industrial” ones
• Generally water systems are regarded as “industrial,” BUT, some of your accounts e.g. admin building may be considered “commercial”
• You can apply for certain rebates and incenQves for your “commercial” accounts…

Use Lowest Cost Water First • Determine the total unit cost of using each source
• Know the limitaQons of each source (water rights, capacity, water quality)
• Understand the addiQonal cost of using more than one source or pump staQon at once
• Have prioriQzed source operaQon plans that maximize the use of lower cost water

Use Lowest Cost Water First • Automate the prioriQzed operaQon plan as much as possible.
• Use proper PRV seRngs and controls seRngs that don’t allow high cost water to be used over low cost water.
• Keep higher cost water where it is needed • Maximize the use of lower cost water in the areas of the system where it can be used

• Contract with an ESCO for the evaluaQon, recommendaQon, or implementaQon of energy conservaQon measures
• Payments made over Qme
• Energy savings guaranteed to exceed costs

Energy Performance Contracts • Concept: Savings are guaranteed by Energy Services Company
(ESCO) – for the life of the project – If the annual savings are not met, the ESCO is supposed to write a check for
the shorxall – Aver performance contracQng, the budget remains the same as energy
savings pay for the facility improvements
• The main differenQator between ESCOs and other energy efficiency contractors is the guarantee of energy savings which is specified as part of the terms of an energy savings performance contract (ESPC) Source: hep://www.naesco.org/what-‐is-‐an-‐esco
