The Community Efficiency Grant (CEG), initially introduced by Efficiency Works Business in 2021 for business organizations that serve the income qualified community who were disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and in need of financial relief, now serves a variety of community organizations who provide critical community services across Platte River Power Authority’s (Platte River) service region. It functions to support efforts in increasing energy efficiency and reducing utility expenses while offering retrofit rebate incentives.

The program serves a diverse coalition of community support organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Humane Society of Longmont, Estes Park Housing Authority, YMCAs and multiple Goodwill locations.

The CEG helps reduce the financial burden on nonprofits that want to make their facilities more energy efficient, allowing them to focus resources on serving their community and alleviating the pressure of making capital intensive building upgrades on their own. These upgrades can include new LED lighting, appliance rebates, insulation projects, and more, which can help reduce their overall operational costs and allows more of their funding to directly benefit community members.

A significant benefit of the CEG lies in its simplicity. A one-page digital application is all that is required of qualifying organizations to apply for funding in addition to the state rebate application. Local contractors act as program ambassadors, identifying eligible entities and opportunities for energy-saving upgrades. This program is Efficiency Works’ business programming equivalent to the Colorado’s Affordable Residential Energy program on the residential side.

The CEG represents a paradigm shift in Efficiency Works’ initiatives. By expanding beyond income-qualified services to critical community providers, this change enhances our communities’ ability to meet the needs of growing populations.

In 2024 alone, over $1 million in total funding was awarded to CEG grant recipients, representing a tenfold increase in non-profits and multifamily customers served. This promotes safer, more efficient spaces across the owner communities and reduces energy costs for organizations that need every dollar. Participants saved nearly 2,500 MWh per year, which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of over 300 homes in the Platte River service territory. The projects completed in 2024 were a tenfold increase in participation from these customer segments compared to pre-CEG participation levels.

Efficiency Works^TM highlights residential and business program results from 2024

FORT COLLINS, Colo., – The communities of Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont and Loveland collectively reduced customer carbon emissions by about 8,200 tons in 2024 by participating in energy efficiency programs offered through Efficiency Works, which is managed by Platte River Power Authority. This is equivalent to removing over 1,900 gas-powered vehicles from the roadways.

“Efficiency Works is the customer-facing program of the local utilities and the team has been incredibly successful over the past decade at engaging customers in energy efficiency programs, activities and services,” says Jason Frisbie, general manager and CEO of Platte River. “Their expansion of these services to include electric vehicles and electrification will help customers participate in the region’s energy transition.”

While various residential, business and consumer programs contributed to Efficiency Works’ success in 2024, the following two programs exemplify how the collaboration is evolving to help engage all customers in a noncarbon energy future while supporting the local communities.

Efficiency Works Homes enhanced its partnership with the Colorado Affordable Residential Energy (CARE) program, managed by Energy Outreach Colorado, in 2023 to provide a broader range of support for income-qualified customers. In 2024, Efficiency Works made a significant change to the program to leverage partner skills, expanding service to hundreds of customers.

“Utilities are the second highest household expense for many customers,” says Bryce Brady, manager of distributed energy solutions for Platte River. “The CARE partnership helped drop participating customer electric bills by an average of 50%.”

In 2024, the Building Tune-Up program offered by Efficiency Works Business expanded its commercial buildings services to 72 buildings. This is up from an average of five participating buildings per year compared to previous program years. The program offers two services: Performance Plus, which focuses on HVAC system optimization, and retrocommissioning, which evaluates business automation systems to identify issues that may reduce energy efficiency over time.

“The relationships we’re creating through Building Tune-Up program lays the groundwork for businesses to participate in the region’s energy transition,” adds Brady. “In the future, the virtual power plant could signal a building’s automation system to adjust energy consumption in response to grid needs, helping Platte River manage its system.”

Hospitals in three communities, a large church and all eligible Poudre School District buildings adopted the retrocommissioning services in 2024.

Efficiency Works also launched a new online platform in 2024 for customers in Platte River’s owner communities to learn about thousands of energy efficiency products and make informed decisions. The platform provides expanded educational resources to help customers learn how to use their energy more effectively. Program staff will continue to expand these services with an enhanced website expected to launch later this year.

Los programas de eficiencia energética sientan las bases para un futuro de energía limpia

Efficiency Works™ destaca los resultados de sus programas residenciales y comerciales en 2024

FORT COLLINS, Colorado – Las comunidades de Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont y Loveland redujeron colectivamente las emisiones de carbono de sus clientes en aproximadamente 8,200 toneladas durante 2024 al participar en programas de eficiencia energética ofrecidos a través de Efficiency Works, gestionado por Platte River Power Authority. Esto equivale a retirar más de 1,900 vehículos a gasolina de las carreteras.

“Efficiency Works es el programa de cara al cliente de las empresas de servicios públicos locales, y el equipo ha tenido un éxito increíble durante la última década al involucrar a los clientes en programas, actividades y servicios de eficiencia energética,” dice Jason Frisbie, gerente general y director ejecutivo de Platte River. “La expansión de estos servicios para incluir vehículos eléctricos y electrificación ayudará a los clientes a participar en la transición energética de la región.”

Si bien varios programas residenciales, comerciales y de consumidores contribuyeron al éxito de Efficiency Works en 2024, los siguientes dos programas ejemplifican cómo esta colaboración está evolucionando para ayudar a involucrar a todos los clientes en un futuro energético sin carbono mientras se apoya a las comunidades locales.

Efficiency Works Homes fortaleció su asociación con el programa de Energía Residencial Asequible de Colorado (CARE), gestionado por Energy Outreach Colorado, en 2023 para ofrecer un mayor apoyo a clientes que califican por ingresos. En 2024, Efficiency Works realizó un cambio significativo en el programa para aprovechar las habilidades de sus socios, ampliando el servicio a cientos de clientes.

“Los servicios públicos son el segundo gasto más alto en muchos hogares,” comenta Bryce Brady, gerente de soluciones de energía distribuida en Platte River. “La alianza con CARE ayudó a reducir las facturas eléctricas de los clientes participantes en un promedio del 50%.”

En 2024, el programa Building Tune-Up ofrecido por Efficiency Works Business amplió sus servicios para edificios comerciales, alcanzando 72 edificios atendidos. Esto representa un aumento significativo en comparación con los años anteriores, que promediaban cinco edificios por año. El programa ofrece dos servicios: Performance Plus, que se enfoca en la optimización de sistemas HVAC, y retrocomisionamiento, que evalúa los sistemas de automatización de los edificios para identificar problemas que puedan reducir la eficiencia energética con el tiempo.

“Las relaciones que estamos formando a través del programa Building Tune-Up sientan las bases para que las empresas participen en la transición energética de la región,” añade Brady. “En el futuro, una planta de energía virtual podría enviar señales al sistema de automatización de un edificio para ajustar el consumo de energía en respuesta a las necesidades de la red, ayudando a Platte River a gestionar su sistema.”

Hospitales en tres comunidades, una gran iglesia y todos los edificios elegibles del Distrito Escolar Poudre adoptaron los servicios de retrocomisionamiento en 2024.

Efficiency Works también lanzó una nueva plataforma en línea en 2024 para que los clientes de las comunidades propietarias de Platte River puedan conocer miles de productos de eficiencia energética y tomar decisiones informadas. La plataforma ofrece recursos educativos ampliados para ayudar a los clientes a aprender cómo usar su energía de manera más eficiente. El personal del programa continuará expandiendo estos servicios con una página web mejorada que se espera lanzar a finales de este año.

2024 was full of major milestones in the world of commercial building efficiency. Efficiency Works’ Building Tune-Up (BTU) program, once a quiet presence in the industry, expanded its commercial buildings services to 52 buildings, representing a tenfold increase in participation. The program’s impact extends beyond these numbers.

For over a decade, the BTU program had been operating below the radar. The Efficiency Works team refined their approach in 2021 to better meet the needs of Platte River’s growing owner communities. The new program emerged through extensive utility program research, stakeholder engagement and consultation. It reduces financial barriers, offering tools and significant rebates that make energy efficiency options accessible to more businesses than ever before.

The relationships built through BTU efforts are laying the groundwork for a promising future, with the hope that the virtual power plant (VPP) will signal a building’s automation system to adjust energy consumption in response to grid needs, supporting our energy load use. Strategic relationships between the Efficiency Works team and key account managers continue to create valuable pathways for direct customer outreach and participation throughout our energy transition.

This revamp marked a shift from simple lighting upgrades to tackling the energy-hungry HVAC systems. By focusing on middle-of-life equipment, the program found a sweet spot – optimizing existing systems without requiring costly replacements. This practical approach not only saves energy but also lays the foundation for these optimized systems to potentially provide a reliable buffer during periods of low wind or solar power generation.

The BTU program offers two main options: Performance Plus and retrocommissioning. Performance Plus focuses on HVAC optimization, where contractors perform enhanced maintenance and upgrades on existing equipment in buildings of all sizes.

Meanwhile, the retrocommissioning path took a different approach, diving deep into the digital brains of buildings – their automation systems. Engineers can uncover and fix issues that quietly reduce efficiency over the years. According to Pierce Robbins from McKinstry, a contractor partner, “the new Efficiency Works program is the Cadillac of retrocommissioning programs.”

The results speak volumes: hospitals across three communities opened their doors to the program, a large church joined the energy-saving movement, and the entire eligible portfolio of Poudre School District buildings embraced the change.

The BTU program stands as a testament to what’s possible when innovation meets community needs, proving that the most powerful transformations start with innovative utility staff listening to customer needs.

Discussion focused on electrification and transition to heat pump technologies in cold climate

Recently, over 40 local HVAC contractors, manufacturers, and distributors who participate in the Efficiency Works program attended a training session at the Platte River Power Authority headquarters to hear the latest updates from Efficiency Works on electrification topics, particularly on the transition to heat pump technology in cold climates.

Heat pumps are a type of heating and cooling system that operate by transferring heat from the outside air or ground into a building. Unlike traditional heating and cooling systems that burn fuel such as natural gas to generate heat, heat pumps are electric and use refrigerants to move heat around. They are an energy-efficient alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems, and are gaining popularity in cold climates like northern Colorado.

The training session focused on how heat pumps can function effectively in colder climates, particularly with advances in technology that have made them more efficient in lower temperatures. Attendees learned about the best practices for installing and maintaining heat pump systems, including proper sizing, ductwork, and commissioning.

One of the key takeaways from the session was that the transition to heat pump technology in cold climates requires collaboration among HVAC contractors, manufacturers, and distributors to ensure that the systems are installed and maintained properly for optimal performance. The supply chain concerns facing the HVAC industry were also discussed, including global supply chain disruptions and labor shortages.

As more buildings and homes transition to electric heating systems, the discussion provided an opportunity for HVAC contractors, manufacturers, and distributors to stay up to date on the latest trends and best practices to provide efficient and effective solutions for their customers, especially as Efficiency Works rebates transition to increasingly focus on electrification starting April 1, 2023. For more information on the new rebates, visit EfficiencyWorks.org/homes/rebates. 

Program success equivalent to powering 2,000 homes in 2022

FORT COLLINS, Colo., – In 2022, Efficiency Works, an energy efficiency program managed by Platte River Power Authority (Platte River) and its four owner communities, helped residential and commercial electricity customers save 22,838 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy, reducing carbon emissions by 16,138 tons, equivalent to reducing gasoline consumption by more than 1.8 million gallons annually.

“The success of Efficiency Works is built on the unity and collaboration between Platte River and our four owner communities of Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont and Loveland,” says Raj Singam Setti, chief transition and integration officer for Platte River. “Our customer programs, like Efficiency Works, highlight how much our region values energy efficiency and the power of a clean energy future. We will continue to support energy programs so commercial and residential customers can maximize their opportunities to save energy and money and reduce their carbon footprint over the long term.”

Over 1,300 homes received energy upgrades such as enhanced insulation, weather stripping or high-efficiency appliances, helping save participants more than $328,000 per year on future electricity bills. More than 100 of the upgraded homes were income-qualified customers receiving upgrades at little to no cost. In addition, Efficiency Works facilitated more than 600 upgrade projects with local businesses that will save over $1.9 million per year in operating costs, including $160,000 per year saved for businesses that directly serve the income-qualified community.

Since Platte River’s owner communities combined efforts to form Efficiency Works in 2014, commercial and residential customers have reduced their electric usage by more than 200,000 MWh, equivalent to the average annual energy consumption of nearly 18,000 homes.
