MAKING YOUR BUSINESS A SMART GRID

Can we achieve sustainability?

Energy management hits the center of the sustainability target

Environmental Pillar: Energy Mangement creates clean power

Social Pillar: Energy management reduces overall grid strain

Economic Pillar: Energy management reduces your energy costs

Hawaiians are disproportionately affected by electricity rates

Energy problems are exacerbated by being isolated on an island

Cost have risen 50% in just the last 4 years

Hawaiians pay 3 fold more than mainlanders

30% OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY IS WASTED!

Hawaii DBEDT

Energy costs are too high!

Rates are fixed and non- negotiable.

Costs inexorably rise.

Your business pays excessive demand fees.

The more you buy, the higher the incremental cost.

Current energy usage contributes to ENVIRONMENTAL HARM

because diesel is the predominant source of energy.

Turning Problems into Solutions

Change a FIXED, ESCALATING cost center to savings and profit center

Control your “energy ecosystem” utilizing smart grid technology

Automate technology with Energy Management software to reduce costs.

This will allow you to add INFRASTRUCTURE - FAST DC CHARGING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES, - TO ATTRACT MORE LOYAL CUSTOMERS WHILE BEING A GOOD STEWARD OF THE COMMUNITY!

• Your business should continue to draw power from the grid as it currently does.

• The key is to be able to draw this power selectively to optimize your pricing.

• We will activate this capability with other pieces of the puzzle.

• With the addition of alternative energy sources, businesses compliment the grid supply

• Solar power produces clean energy and free energy for up to 5.5 hours per day.

• Your business is becoming its own utility.

• Batteries allow you to store power from any source.

• Batteries allow you to redeploy power when you business needs it most

• Batteries “buffer” or align your demand for energy with your existing supply.

• Software optimizes the control of when, where, & how energy flows at your business.

• Software analyzes your entire electric components in real time.

• Eliminate the need for any employee oversight of your systems.

• EV charging equipment can easily be added to your site.

• EV chargers literally bring captive customers right to your door.

• EV Chargers show your business to be stewards for the environment.

Case studies to show savings

Medium use (60,000 kWh/mo), spike 1x/day (1000kW x 1hr)

Current bill (per month) Electricity: $21,000 Demand: $12,000 = $33,000/MONTH

Add 200 kW solar, 2MW battery, and Charge Bliss energy management:SAVE up to $16,000/mo

or $192,000/yr

Large use (300,000 kWh/mo), spike to 500kW x 1 hour/day

Current bill (per month) Electricity: $105,000 Demand: $6,000 = $111,000/MONTH

Add 1MW solar, 2.5MWh battery, Charge Bliss energy management:SAVE up to $55,000/mo

or $660,000/yr

The Results

Businesses can SAVE up to 70% of monthly energy costs and RECAPTURE capital/make profit in as little as 3-5 years!

WHY NOT SOLAR?

Generation time Time of peak needPower flows 4-5.5 hours/day (midday-mid afternoon)

Sell power to the Utility (Net Meter, FIT)?Many Net Energy Metering (NEM) circuits are full or

limited to small systemsSITE MAY BE PROHIBITED FROM INSTALLATION IF

THERE IS ANY RISK OF ENERGY FLOW BACK TO THE GRID

Solar (and similar systems) DO NOTHING FOR DEMAND CHARGES

FEED-IN-TARIFFS?

Contractual agreement to sell excess power back to utility at heavily discounted rates (25-50%) from what you pay

Utility may require that you upgrade THEIR infrastructure at YOUR cost to allow you to send energy to them

No meaningful impact on large demand load especially if inverter systems are not sized appropriately
