Energy Efficiency, Conservation
• “A clean world takes a lot of dirty work”
Mike Rowe – Dirty Jobs – Discovery
Channel
• There is plenty of work to be done in
Kansas for 50 years on energy efficiency
and conservation
ARRA funding from KCC
• Revolving loan fund for Residential and
Light Commercial

Innovation is on the consumer side
• Dynamic Pricing-Pricing for incremental and time
of use, not bulk sale of averaged price electricity.
• Smart Grid defined
– Self healing/correcting
– Motivate customers to be active grid
participants/controllers of grid
– Resist attack-physical/cyber
– Increased power quality for modern uses
– Accommodate all generation/storage options
– Facilitate markets
– Optimize all assets/operations
So, you want to make money in
energy solutions
• Ray’s advice for what it is worth
– Get as close to the consumer as you can
• This is not production solutions, it is consumption solutions
– The answer is simple: Consumers want to “TiVo ®”
