Focus on Energy
Program Mission
Accelerate energy efficiency in Wisconsin by supporting projects that
otherwise would not be completed
Why Focus on Energy?
• Approx 2/3 of each energy $1 leaves Wisconsin
• Efficient businesses are more competitive
• Wisconsin’s home owners & businesses save more than $239m annually with Focus programs
• Preparing for a “carbon constrained” economy
Focus on EnergyPrograms

Prescriptive Grants
• HVAC• Chillers• VFD
• Compressed Air• Food Service• Specialty Measures
• Fixed incentive rate per unit (e.g. $50 per Hp)
• Incentive paid after project completion
• Does not require involvement of Focus EA
• Lighting• Motors• Boiler Combustion
Incentive Rate Depends on Technology
Tier 1($0.04 per kWh + $125 per kW or $0.40 per therm)
Tier 2 ($0.06 per kWh + $200 per kW or $0.60 per therm)
Criteria No. 1Under 4 Yrs w/o Grant
Criteria No. 2Over 1.5 Yrs with Grant
Criteria No. 3Grant < 30%
of Project Cost
Criteria No. 4Grant > 10%
of Project Cost
Max Grant => $250,000
Custom Grants
“Window ofOpportunity”
Grant must be approved before project begins
Study Grants
• Assistance for quantifying potential savings opportunities
• Must work with a Focus advisor
• Must be approved prior to undertaking the study
• Metering projects may qualify
• Up to 50% of study cost
• No more than 10% of the potential energy savings
• Maximum of $7,500
• Will consider larger grants for larger studies
Service Grants
• Burner Tune Up• Steam Trap Repair
• Intended to jump-start routine maintenance
• Fixed incentive rate up to % of service cost
• Incentive paid after service completion
• Does not require involvement of Focus EA
• Chiller Tune Up• Compressed Air Leaks
Service Grants• Burner Tune Up
• Lesser of 1) $100 x No. of Burners or 2) 50% of Service
• Steam Traps Repair• Lesser of 1) $50 x No. of Traps Repaired / Replaced or 2) 50% of
Service
• Chiller Tune Up• Lessor of 1) $2 per ton (<500 tons) or $1 per ton (>500 tons), 2) 50%
of Service, or 3) $1,500
• Compressed Air Leak Detection• 50% of detection service up to $500 < System 250 hp < $1,000• Remaining 50% for leak repair
Renewable for Business
• Biomass Combustion
• Biomass Digestion
• Solar Electric
• Solar Water Heating
• Distributed Wind
Renewable• Site Assessments – gauges site suitability
• Feasibility Studies Grants – more in depth consideration of savings and costs
• Development Grants – support for larger systems
• Installation Incentives• Cash Back Rewards• Implementation Grants
New Construction
• Help customers incorporate energy efficiency into new buildings, additions or major renovations
• System Incentives• Similar to Prescriptive Grants for existing facilities
• Design Incentives• Pre-approval required
• $2,000 for Daylighting
• $2,000 for Geotherma Systems
• $3,000 for Building Energy Simulation
Special IncentivesIncentive options that offer flexibility for businesses
• “RFP” programs: businesses can “bid” on incentives needed to complete a project
• Started in Industrial Sector, now available in Commercial, Schools/Government and Ag sectors
• Financial needs must be documented and winning proposals are selected on competitive basis
Special IncentivesIncentive options that offer flexibility for businesses
• “Retrocommissioning (RCx): currently in the commercial sector; offers incentives to “tuneup”buildings and ensure all systems are operating efficiently
• Buildings can reduce energy use up to 30%• Pilot effort underway in Schools/Gov sector; will likely be
offered to a wider audience after this is completed• Industrial team taking a systems optimization approach,
targeting specific systems instead of whole building; first system is expected to be compressed air.
Special IncentivesIncentive options that offer flexibility for businesses
• Staffing Grants: initiative that funds the staff time required to get energy efficiency projects implemented
• Must submit proposals with project lists to be completed
• Applications reviewed on proposed energy savings of project, need for funding and life of the project savings
• Competitive review of proposals
• Efficiency projects may be eligible for implementation incentives as usual
Special PromotionsBonus incentives to engage market as needed
Thus far in 2009
• PC Network Energy Management
• Lighting: T12 “bounty”, high bay fluorescent, sensors
• Change-A-Light CFL promotion
• Commercial Refrigeration System Tune-Up
• Variable Frequency Drives
• Chiller Tune-Up
