Ideas on the project ( Energy Efficiency)

Think about the energy efficiency program

- Charge more dollars to the customer like – 1 dollar per account and use that money to the energy efficiency program

- Separate the cost of saving 50/50 between utility company and customers // Progress Energy is already doing this è are there any other way to split the benefit

- Save A Watt program è think of reducing energy as a type of energy and charge that fake energy to the customer at 90% cost

- We lost money, they lost money

Utility LOST

Utility GAIN

Revenue decrease ( customers use less)

Don’t have to pay for new power plant


Follow government regulation

- ideas on what are the incentive for customers

- rebate for the proper conditions such as center air condition/ sealed windows/ using florescence light bulb / center heating water/ using energy star appliances

- Rebuilding the house >> for old house // Extreme makeover of the old house

- Educating kids

- Handout

- Marketing the program // make it big!

-Celebrity endorsement

- How can we bring ad to the power… use power and need to watch ad?

- Balance to peak time

- Communicate peak time of the day

- Price structure table è new calculation which is cheaper to use during the off peak

- any device that is cost less but help managing off peak use

- Creative ad like è black TV for 3 minutes è safe the nation for 100 million

- Screen saver

- OFF PEAK! >> timer? On the device // very cheap but will help you operation your appliance during the off peak time

- Energy check up plan è aim specifically at 20% top power consumption è send teams to work with them to reduce energy consumption

- New pricing step structure è penalty to aggressive user but reward small user

- Free power during off peak

- Subscription model for power user // fix price but limited duration of the day

- Credit card model è more save = more point // collect more point è turn it into other save appliance such as 5 star everystar refrigerator

Smart grid technology == what can we do with it?

- Connect with internet

- Decentralize power generation

- Balance low during the peak time == turn on and off some appliances freely

- Collect all the data real time
