PA Act 129, new phase
Three-year program cycle• June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2016
PECO energy savings target is 2.9% or 1,125 GWh• 10% of Plan savings must come from Government, Institutional
and Non Profit business customers (existing requirement)• 4.5% of Plan savings from Low Income (new requirement)
No demand reduction requirements in new program cycle• PA State Wide Evaluator analyzing cost effectiveness for possible
program inclusion

PECO Smart Multifamily SolutionsEnergy savings for multifamily property owners and tenants • Buildings with four or more units • Includes master-metered and residentially metered
properties• C&I, GNI, and low income properties are eligible• Program marketed directly to building management
Free direct install of low-cost measures for multifamily residents
Free energy assessment for common areas including a report of potential energy-saving upgrades • Prescriptive incentives for installation of high-
efficiency equipment that address common areas or whole building improvements
6
PECO Smart Business SolutionsDirect installation of energy saving measures • Small business customers with peak demand less than 100 kW• Target: neighborhood shops, “mom and pop” stores
Incentives cover up to 50-60% or more of direct installation costs • Includes eligible lighting, refrigeration and electric hot water measures
Program CSP offers• Interest free financing available provided by CSP• Discounts for lump-sum payments
Program promoted directly to small business owners

New, Major Changes Incentive levels now higher for GNI customers, +20%
Lighting paid on a per watt reduced basis
Chillers, LEDs, motors are custom measures
Pre-approval applications must be submitted before project begins
Retroactive projects are not eligible
Pre-inspections may be required before application is approved and funds reserved
Final project applications must be submitted no later than 90 days after project completion
9
Program Eligibility PECO commercially metered distribution customer
Facility improvement must result in reduction in kWh usage and/or permanent load reduction
All installed equipment must meet or exceed the specifications given in the corresponding program application• Code baseline is ASHRAE 90.1 2007
Retroactive projects are excluded

Commercial Programs
PECO Smart Equipment Incentives • Commercial and Industrial (C&I)• Government, Nonprofit and Institutional (GNI)
PECO Smart Construction Incentives
12
PECO Smart Equipment Incentives
13
PECO Smart Equipment Incentives (C&I)
Incentives for a broad range of energy efficiency retrofit measures for Commercial and Industrial customers
Prescriptive incentives paid per watt reduced or per unit
Custom incentives paid per annual kWh saved in the first year of operation at $0.08/kWh
14
Incentives for a broad range of energy efficiency retrofit measures for Government, Nonprofit and Institutional customers
GNI incentives are higher than those for similar C&I measures
Prescriptive incentives paid per watt reduced or per unit
Custom incentives paid per annual kWh saved in the first year of operation at $0.10/kWh
PECO Smart Equipment Incentives (GNI)
15
Menu-based with predetermined savings and incentive levels
Lighting• Indoor, outdoor, garage, traffic signals, and lighting controls• Incentives per watt reduced or per unit
HVAC• Air conditioners, heat pumps• HVAC incentives per ton cooling• Energy management systems• EMS incentives per square foot
Refrigeration and Food Service• Commercial refrigeration, freezers, strip curtains, beverage/snack machine
controls - incentives per unit
Variable Speed/Frequency Drives• Controlling HVAC fans, pumps, process loads, compressors - incentives per HP• Kitchen exhaust fan - incentives per unit
Prescriptive Measures
16
Custom MeasuresNon-prescriptive measures that require demonstration of energy savings
Eligibility determined on a case-by-case basis
Examples of custom measures include:• LED tubes - DLC approved
• Chillers
• High efficiency transformers
• PC power management, smart plugs, plug load management
• Building envelope - white/green roof, windows, air sealing, weather-stripping
• Process cooling - mushroom farming, manufacturing,
• Process upgrades- HEPA filtration, aeration, new equipment
• VSD/VFD not required by code for new construction or major rehab
• ENERGY STAR office equipment
• Warehouses - automatic door closers
17
Incentives for Data CentersPECO Smart Equipment Incentives program includes energy efficiency incentives relevant to data center retrofit, expansion and constructionIncentives for energy efficient design, equipment and processesExamples of energy efficient opportunities include:
• Efficient Lighting• Occupancy Sensors• Server Virtualization• PC Power Management• Economizers• Row-Oriented Cooling• Storage Optimization• Efficient Floor Layout• And More
18
PECO Smart Construction Incentives
19
New construction and major building rehabilitation that exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 2007 code requirements
Prescriptive incentives for energy efficient lighting, HVAC, refrigeration systems• Paid per unit, or watts/square foot under code
Custom incentives for non-prescriptive kWh savings measures including VFD/VSDs not required by code, chillers, exterior lighting, and building envelope measures• Paid per annual kWh saved in the first year of operation at $0.10/kWh
Whole building incentives for modeled interactive building systems performance, at least 5% below baseline.
C&I and GNI customers eligible
PECO Smart Construction Incentives
20
PECO Smart Construction IncentivesIncentives: systems-based and whole building approaches Prescriptive track for new lighting, HVAC, refrigeration and food serviceCustom track for non-standard equipment such as compressors, specialty lighting applications, HVAC controls and VFDsWhole Building Performance track captures interactive equipment savings
Systems-Based ApproachWhole Building Approach
21
Intended to encourage integrated energy efficient designs• Captures interactive equipment savings• Allows incentives to the design team to help support the additional
analytical work
Owner’s intention to seek whole building incentives must be documented in the pre-approval application
Design team incentives are only available under the whole building performance approach• Not available for prescriptive, custom or lighting-performance measures • Modeled performance must be at least 10% below baseline• Design team total incentives cannot exceed $50,000
