| Desc | DISTRIBUTION OF ENERGY AND RESOURCE EFFICIENT PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS TO THE WHOLESALE AND CONSUMER MARKETS.ENERGY FEDERATION, INC. (EFI) WORKS WITH LOW INCOME WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (WAP) PROVIDERS, AND THE CONTRACTORS THEY UTILIZE, TO PROVIDE QUALITY WEATHERIZATION, VENTILATION AND EFFICIENT LIGHTING PRODUCTS TO RETROFIT HOMES INHABITED BY LOW INCOME FAMILIES. EFI IS THE PRIMARY SUPPLIER OF EFFICIENT LED AND CFL LIGHTING PRODUCTS TO A NETWORK OF COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY WAP SUB-GRANTEES IN MASSACHUSETTS. LIGHTING MEASURES ARE FUNDED WITH UTILITY RATE BASED SYSTEM BENEFIT CHARGES (SBC) DOLLARS, WHICH ALLOW FEDERAL WAP FUNDS TO STRETCH FURTHER - TO ENABLE MORE LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS TO BE SERVED AND TO ALLOW MORE COMPREHENSIVE WORK TO BE PERFORMED IN THOSE BUILDINGS THE PROGRAM IS ABLE TO SERVE.IN ADDITION TO WORK WITH AGENCIES AND CONTRACTORS PROVIDING WAP SERVICES, EFI CONTINUES TO WORK WITH AN EXTENSIVE UTILITY CLIENT BASE TO PROVIDE PRODUCT FULFILLMENT SERVICES, SOME OF THEM QUITE INNOVATIVE IN NATURE. SEVERAL EXAMPLES FOLLOW:A. SINCE 2012 EFI HAS WORKED WITH ENERGY SERVICE COMPANY PARTNERS AND UTILITY CLIENTS TO DEVELOP A UNIQUE 'SALES CHANNEL' FOR UPSTREAM (UTILITY FUNDED) INCENTIVE PROGRAMS TO PROMOTE ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED LIGHT BULBS. WE HAVE CONVINCED CLIENTS IN MAINE, MISSOURI, ILLINOIS GEORGIA, WISCONSIN AND OHIO TO DEVOTE A PORTION OF THEIR SBC FUNDS TO SUPPLY COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS (CFLS) AND AS OF 2015-16, LED BULBS, TO FOOD BANKS, WHICH DISTRIBUTE THEM TO LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS VIA FOOD PANTRIES WITHIN OUR CLIENTS' SERVICE TERRITORIES. IN OUR FISCAL YEAR 2016, EFI SUPPLIED APPROXIMATELY 1.8 MILLION ENERGY SAVING BULBS WHICH WERE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THESE FOOD PANTRIES.B. EFI HAS DEVELOPED AND MAINTAINS CO-BRANDED WEBSITES WORKING WITH UTILITY CLIENTS AND SEVERAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO MAKE ENERGY SAVING PRODUCTS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE BY THEIR CUSTOMERS OR CONSTITUENTS AT INCENTED OR OTHERWISE DISCOUNTED PRICES. IN 2015 AND 2016 EFI MADE A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL INVESTMENT TO UPDATE OUR WEB SERVICES PLATFORM, MIGRATING OVER 35 CO-BRANDED WEBSITES TO A NEW ECOMMERCE PLATFORM. THIS NEW PLATFORM PROVIDES IMPROVED FUNCTIONALITY AND THUS A MORE CONVENIENT, SATISFYING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE STRONGER EDUCATIONAL CONTENT - PARTICULARLY OF A GRAPHIC AND VIDEO NATURE - SO THAT CUSTOMERS BUYING ENERGY SAVING PRODUCTS FROM US WILL BE MORE INCLINED TO USE THEM IN APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS, OPTIMIZING ENERGY SAVINGS.C. EFI IMPLEMENTED A NUMBER OF INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS IN FY 2016 TO PROMOTE LED LIGHTING, WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT AS LED LIGHTING HAS TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE IMMENSE ELECTRICITY SAVINGS ACROSS ALL SECTORS OF AMERICA'S ECONOMY - RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL. NOTEWORTHY INITIATIVES INCLUDE A STATEWIDE PROGRAM EFI LAUNCHED IN WISCONSIN WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY DISTRIBUTE OVER 500,000 LED BULBS TO APPROXIMATELY 200,000 WISCONSIN FAMILIES, AND A PROGRAM WITH PUGET SOUND ENERGY (PSE) IN WASHINGTON STATE WHERE EFI WORKED WITH THE UTILITY TO RECEIVE AND DISTRIBUTE NEARLY 140,000 LED BULBS DONATED TO THE PROGRAM FROM FOUR DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS. D. A CONTINUING IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF EFI'S MISSION IS TO FIND PROMISING, EFFECTIVE NEW ENERGY SAVING PRODUCTS, AND TO DEVISE CREATIVE WAYS, WORKING WITH OUR CUSTOMER AND CLIENT BASE, THAT INCLUDES UTILITIES, STATE ENERGY OFFICES, AND PROGRAM EVALUATORS TO HELP MANUFACTURERS BRING THEM TO MARKET. PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT CATEGORIES EFI HAS BEEN ACTIVELY PROMOTING RECENTLY WHICH WE BELIEVE CAN BE TERMED INNOVATIVE, WITH THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME 'MARKET TRANSFORMATIVE' INCLUDE:I. LED LIGHTING: EFI HAS BEEN WORKING WITH OUR UTILITY CLIENTS, KEY CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS, AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE) AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) THROUGH THEIR SOLID STATE LIGHTING (SSL) AND ENERGY STAR PROGRAMS TO ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SSL MARKET, AND TO DEVISE WAYS TO INCORPORATE LED BULBS INTO 'UTILITY' ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS. SSL TECHNOLOGY CONTINUES TO BUILD TRACTION AND IMPRESSIVE MOMENTUM IN 2016. EFI SALES OF LED LIGHTING PRODUCTS, AS MEASURED IN DOLLARS, HAVE GROWN FROM LESS THAN 10% OF OUR OVERALL LIGHTING SALES IN 2012 TO MORE THAN 95% OF OUR LIGHTING SALES IN 2016.LED BULBS ARE THE MOST EFFICIENT LIGHT SOURCE AVAILABLE FOR GENERAL HOUSEHOLD USE, HAVE THE LONGEST LIFE, AND UNLIKE THE ALSO ENERGY EFFICIENT CFL BULBS, CONTAIN NO MERCURY AND THUS ARE BELIEVED TO POSE LESS OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM THAN CFLS AT END OF LIFE. (AND, BECAUSE THEIR AVERAGE LIFETIME RANGES FROM 15,000 HOURS TO 50,000 HOURS, WHICH IS ROUGHLY 15X-50X THE LIFETIME OF INCANDESCENT BULBS, AND 1.5X - 8X THE LIFETIME OF CFL BULBS, FAR FEWER LIGHT BULBS WILL BE GOING INTO THE WASTE STREAM IF CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES ARE CONVINCED TO PURCHASE LED BULBS).II. WIFI 'SMART' THERMOSTATS ARE ANOTHER INNOVATIVE PRODUCT CATEGORY EFI HAS BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY TO PROMOTE. OUR SUCCESS IN GETTING SMART THERMOSTATS MORE WIDELY ADOPTED HAS NOT MIRRORED THE SUCCESS WE HAVE SEEN IN RECENT YEARS WITH LED LIGHTING, BUT THE MARKET SHARE OF SMART THERMOSTATS AND CONSUMER AWARENESS OF THE PRODUCTS HAS BEEN STEADILY GROWING. IN 2016 WE HELPED IMPLEMENT A MAJOR SMART THERMOSTAT PROGRAM FOR OKLAHOMA UTILITIES WHICH TO DATE HAS RESULTED IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF MORE THAN 7,000 THERMOSTATS.EFI IS WORKING WITH ALL THE MAJOR MANUFACTURERS OF WIFI SMART THERMOSTATS, TRYING TO GET THEIR PRODUCTS SPECIFIED IN MORE UTILITY SBC FUNDED PROGRAMS. WIFI THERMOSTATS ARE BEING DISCUSSED AS A LOGICAL DEVICE TO BE THE 'HUB' TO CONNECT VARIOUS DEVICES IN A BUILDING TO MAKE IT A 'SMART' HOME OR 'SMART' BUSINESS. AS THE UTILITY INDUSTRY EVOLVES, AND DEMAND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES BECOME EQUALLY IF NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN SUPPLY STRATEGIES TO THE FUTURE EVOLUTION OF THE GRID, THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVICES THAT CAN ASSIST CUSTOMERS AND COMPANIES THEY RELY ON HELP THEM MANAGE THEIR POWER CONSUMPTION, WILL BE EVER GREATER.III. EFI CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST SELLERS OF ADVANCED POWER STRIPS (APS), WHICH IN ESSENCE ARE INTELLIGENT EXTENSION CORDS TO WHICH VARIOUS CONSUMER ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS CAN BE PLUGGED IN. THEY SHUTOFF PERIPHERAL DEVICES SUCH AS DVR PLAYERS AND PRINTERS WHEN 'PRIMARY OR CONTROLLING DEVICES (TELEVISIONS, PC'S) ARE OFF, OR IN SLEEP MODE. THESE ARE REFERRED TO AS 'PHANTOM LOADS,' BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDERSTOOD BY COMPARATIVELY FEW CONSUMERS AND THUS ARE 'INVISIBLE' TO MOST PEOPLE.UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE CONSUMERS HAVE LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF PHANTOM LOADS, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN WHAT APS DEVICES ARE AND HOW THEY WORK - A PROBLEM COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT THEY LOOK JUST LIKE, AND ARE OFTEN CONFUSED WITH, SIMPLE POWER STRIPS. SIMPLE POWER STRIPS ARE MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE THAN APS UNITS, HOWEVER. CONVENTIONAL RETAILERS' BUSINESS MODELS DO NOT LEND THEMSELVES TO SELLING COMPLEX, LOW COST, LOW MARGIN PRODUCTS, SO THE SUPPLIERS OF APS MODELS HAVE FOUND CONVENTIONAL RETAIL SALES CHANNELS TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SELL THEIR PRODUCTS THROUGH. EFI HAS ENJOYED IMPRESSIVE SUCCESS PROMOTING THESE PRODUCTS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS AND NUMEROUS UTILITY CLIENTS. IN 2016 WE BEGAN WORKING MORE WITH A THIRD SUPPLIER OF APS PRODUCTS, BITS. BITS WAS EFI'S ORIGINAL SUPPLIER OF APS DEVICES. THEY WERE PURCHASED BY SEVERAL CALIFORNIAN BUSINESSMEN WHO ARE SEEKING TO CREATE A THIRD VIABLE SUPPLIER OF THESE PRODUCTS IN THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET.IV. NEAR THE END OF FY 2015 EFI LAUNCHED A PILOT PROGRAM IN MAINE USING A HOT WATER SAVING PRODUCT MANUFACTURED BY EVOLVE. EVOLVE MAKES A UNIQUE PRODUCT THAT EMPLOYS A THERMOSTATIC VALVE, INSERTED BETWEEN A SHOWER PIPE ARM AND A SHOWERHEAD, TO SHUT OFF WATER FLOW (TO A TRICKLE) AFTER SOMEONE HAS STARTED A SHOWER, AND THE WATER HAS REACHED THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE (APPROXIMATELY 95 DEGREES FAHREINHEIT), BUT THE PERSON INTENDING TO HAVE THE SHOWER HAS YET TO ENTER THE SHOWER STALL. ON AVERAGE, AMERICANS WASTE JUST LESS THAN 1 MINUTE OF HOT WATER FLOW (PROBABLY ABOUT 2 GALLONS OF HOT WATER) BEFORE THE START TO SHOWER.IN FY 2016 EFI CONCLUDED THE PILOT PROGRAM. IN THE FALL OF 2016 (EFI'S FY 2017) THE CLIENT, EFFICIENCY MAINE, HAS DECIDED TO EXPAND THE PILOT PROGRAM AND EFI WILL BE CREATING A MARKETING DIRECT MAIL PIECE THAT WILL BE MAILED TO APPROXIMATELY 40,000 LOW INCOME MAINE HOUSEHOLDS OFFERING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE THE EVOLVE SHOWERHEAD WITH THE THERMOSTATIC VALVE CONTROL AT NO COST. EFI EXPECTS TO DISTRIBUTE APPROXIMATELY 15,000 SHOWERHEADS WITH VALVES THROUGH THIS INITIATIVE. | Desc |

| Desc | INCENTIVE PROCESSING SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE DEMAND SIDE REDUCTION EFFORTS OF THE UTILITY INDUSTRY AND STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES.IN FY 2016 EFI ISSUED MORE THAN $200 MILLION OF INCENTIVE CHECKS ON BEHALF OF THE VARIOUS UTILITY, STATE ENERGY OFFICE, AND NGO CLIENTS. THESE INCENTIVE PAYMENTS WERE MADE TO CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO INVEST IN ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS AND MEASURES. EFI CONTINUES TO INVEST IN DEVELOPING SOFTWARE TO REPLACE DATED LEGACY PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE BEEN USING TO SUPPORT THESE REBATE PROGRAMS. WE ARE ALSO CONTINUING TO CONVERT OLD PROGRAMS AND START UP NEW PROGRAMS ON A WEB-BASED SOFTWARE PLATFORM THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES TO APPLY FOR INCENTIVES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS AND MEASURES. THE SAVINGS FROM THE PRODUCTS AND MEASURES FOR WHICH EFI ISSUED INCENTIVE/REBATE PAYMENTS ON BEHALF OF CLIENTS WILL PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS TO CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES IN THE FORM OF LOWER ENERGY BILLS, TO UTILITIES AND SOCIETY IN THE FORM OF A REDUCED NEED TO INVEST IN POWER PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND TO USE SCARCE NATURAL RESOURCES FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION, TO THE COUNTRY IN THE FORM OF LESS RELIANCE ON NON-INDIGENOUS ENERGY SOURCES, AND TO EVERYONE IN THE FORM OF REDUCED CARBON EMISSIONS.EFI ALSO BEGAN IMPLEMENTING SEVERAL "BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE" (BYOD) PROGRAMS IN 2016, WHICH WILL ALLOW UTILITIES TO MANAGE CERTAIN LOADS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS - PRIMARILY AIR CONDITIONING AND WATER HEATING - THAT WILL HELP OPTIMIZE GRID EFFICIENCY. UTILITIES CAN USE INTERFACES WITH CONTROLS SUCH AS SMART THERMOSTATS TO CYCLE CERTAIN POWER CONSUMING DEVICES OFF AND ON DURING PEAK ENERGY PERIODS (MOST TYPICALLY, HOT SUMMER DAYS, PARTICULARLY AFTERNOONS INTO EARLY EVENING), ALLOWING DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS TO AVOID BECOMING OVERTAXED, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO POWER OUTAGES AT TIMES WHEN BUSINESSES AND CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS, SUCH AS THE ELDERLY, CAN LEAST AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT POWER. | Desc |
