Round 2 of Energy Savings Assessments Kicks Off
DOE's Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) has just launched the second round of Energy Savings Assessments (ESAs), and is taking applications until January 19 2007.
This second phase of the Save Energy Now campaign brings industry partners an even greater chance to participate with an expanded scope of system assessments and cost-shared opportunities.
To be eligible for an ESA, an individual plant must have annual energy consumption of 1 trillion Btu or more; however, groups of plants with a combined total of 1 trillion Btu per year are also eligible. In Round 2, ITP is offering several new options to broaden the scope of the ESAs. Now, in addition to steam and process heating systems, fan, compressed air, and pumping systems will also qualify for assessments. Also, cost-shared options will be available for those plants that have already received an ESA, but are interested in an assessment on a different industrial system. ITP will also provide an opportunity for third parties wishing to cost share, to apply on behalf of a group of plants.
An ESA Energy Expert will work closely with your plant staff to provide information about DOE Software Tools, training, and Web casts, and perform the assessment. Prior to the assessment, interested plants will also have the opportunity to use the Quick Plant Energy Profiler (Quick PEP) tool to determine their overall energy use and estimate potential energy and cost savings.
DOE will make initial selections of applications for ESAs in late November 2006. Additional selections will be announced periodically until the target of 250 assessments is reached for the calendar year 2007.
