Today’s Topics

• Program Summary
• Special Programs
• 2013 Measure Updates

3

Why Energy Efficiency?

• Good for your business
• Good for the environment
• Good for Michigan

4

Energy Efficiency Can Save You Money

• By improving your energy efficiency you can

improve your company’s bottom line in many ways

– Shorten payback times – Lower energy costs – Increased productivity – Increased employee morale – Decreased maintenance costs

5

Customer Participation

• Customers from all business segments and

sizes are represented

• Consumers Energy has distributed more than

$59 million in incentives to customers since the program began in 2009

• Over 50,000 commercial & industrial

customers have participated

Business Programs

• Comprehensive business solutions

– Rebates based on amount of each project’s first year savings for lighting, HVAC, insulation, hot water heating, controls and other energy savings projects.

• Small business solutions

– Designed to help small commercial and industrial customers, typically considered "hard to reach” using less than 400,000 kWh annually

8

Comprehensive Business Solutions

There are two types of Incentives:

• Prescriptive incentives

– Think “off the rack,” get it and go

• You install energy efficient equipment and achieve energy

savings and pre-determined incentive levels

– Incentives typically average 20% to 50% of the incremental cost of purchasing qualifying technologies

• Custom incentives

– Think “tailored,” custom fit to your business

• Incentives are determined on a case-by-case basis
• Must have a greater than one-year payback period and less

than eight years

9

Small Business Solutions

• Objectives:

– Promote energy efficiency to small businesses – Achieve low installation costs and short payback periods – Minimize out-of-pocket costs to customers

• Target customers:

– <400,000 kWh annual electric usage – Commercial customers who typically would not participate in the Consumers Energy Business Solutions Program due to:

• Lack of capital dollars to make improvements
• Lack of technical knowledge
• Limited personnel and resources

10

Small Business Solutions

• Free facility assessment
• Detailed project proposal from program
• Installation of approved energy-saving equipment
• Inspections will assure quality and verify energy

savings

• Minimum hassle or time required
• Reduction in energy consumption and costs
• Higher incentives on a limited number of

measures

• Up to $7,500 in incentives per customer

11

What’s Ahead in 2013

• More money for incentives

– $23.5 million electric incentives – $7 million gas incentives

• Over 40 new measures

– 200 measures in total

• Special programs
• More opportunity to

participate

12
