FEI-FEVI 2010 EEC Report filed March 31, 2011 - FortisBC

FORTISBC ENERGY INC. AND FORTISBC ENERGY (VANCOUVER ISLAND) INC.
2010 ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION ANNUAL REPORT
The project is agreed to be implemented by the customer as a whole (i.e.
partially completed projects are not eligible for any incentives); and
The study must promise long term savings. The amount of savings that
will be revealed by the study should be greater than what is required to
cover the incremental cost.
• A business case analysis for the project will be created by the Companies. The main
business items that will be covered in the business case are as follows: objective and
description of the project including benefits of doing the project, project outline,
cost/benefit analysis, project risks, and risk mitigation strategies, along with a project
budget;
• Potential program partners may be identified (i.e. BC Hydro, FortisBC Inc. Ministry of
Energy and Mines and NR Can). If there is any existing potential partner, an incentive
based on a cost sharing program or solution will be developed with the potential program
partner;
• Senior FEI management signs off on the FEI business case;
• A preliminary legal agreement will be developed to cover off business items between the
customer and FEI;
• Project roll out; and
• Ongoing project tracking and evaluation.
9.2 2010 Industrial Program Area Results
2010 was spent developing the industrial program area strategy described in Section 9.1.5
above and with site visits to customers’ facilities. No industrial programs were launched in 2010;
therefore, no results are presented here.
9.3 2011 Industrial Program Area Outlook
In 2011, the Companies intend to initiate a pilot program called the Pulp and Paper Industry
Heat Exchanger program, as well as broaden their commitment to the energy audit funding
program. Table 9-1 represents FEI’s initial, high level estimate of the expenditures that will be
required to support these activities for the industrial sector. It includes funding for:
• Heat exchanger pilot program and forecasted funding for other pulp mills;
• Burner management control;
• Stakeholder activity related to workshops and customer meetings; and
• A series of in-depth energy savings potential studies, or mini-CPRs, with individual
customers in the food processing, manufacturing, and forest products sectors.
