Plant Wide Assessments: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of EnergyEfficiency and RenewableEnergy (EERE), through its Industrial Technologies Program, supportsindustriesin their efforts to increase energy efficiency, reduce waste, and increaseproductivity. The goal of the Industrial Technologies Program is toacceleratethe development and use of advanced energy efficient, renewable, andpollutionprevention technologies that benefit industry, the environment, and U.S.energysecurity.This Funding Opportunity Announcement is commissioned on behalf of DOE?sIndustrial Technologies Program - Technology Delivery. Technology Deliverywasestablished to provide an implementing approach for the IndustrialTechnologiesProgram. The approach combines integrated delivery of energy-savingproducts,services, and technologies to the energy intensive industries. Additionalinformation about Technology Delivery can be found on the website:http://www.oit.doe.gov/bestpractices.To qualify for this program, applicants must demonstrate a minimumestimatedenergy savings (potentially resulting from the plant wide energyassessment) of10% of the plant?s total purchased energy usage as supported by Criterion 1estimates. Assumptions and calculations used to arrive at the energysavingsestimate shall be provided in physical units (kwh/yr for electricity andbtu/yrfor fuels) and financial units ($/yr).DOE is interested in developing a portfolio of assessment methodologiesthatcan be used by industries to identify energy efficiency opportunities inindustrial plants and a comprehensive list of energy efficiency actionsthatenergy-intensive plants can consider to improve energy performance. Inaddition, DOE has developed energy assessment software tools such asAIRMaster+, MotorMaster+, PSAT, 3E Plus and PHAST. Training on utilizingthesetools may be provided by DOE for use in plant wide assessments.During the kickoff meeting DOE will emphasize the data requirements andtemplate through which PWA data and results will be reported. DOE willalsodiscuss the requirements for replication plans during the kickoff meeting.Atthe close out meeting, DOE will work with the applicant to update thereplication plan by incorporating findings from the assessment. DOE willalsowork with the applicant to compile PWA results and integrate them intoreplicable, national Case Studies. In addition, DOE is interested inmaintaining contact with plants after the Plant Wide Assessment to obtainfollow-up implementation and replication information.PWA Definitiona) A plant-wide assessment (PWA) is a comprehensive, systematicexamination ofplant energy efficiency leading to the identification of opportunities forenergy use reductions in industrial facilities. The PWA is comprehensiveinthat it examines all major aspects of energy consumption in an industrialfacility. This includes both process operations and plant utility systems.Assessment of which plant operations represent significant energyconsumptioncan be the first step of the PWA or can be completed prior to the PWA beingundertaken with the results being used to define the scope of the PWA in amorefocused fashion. An assessment of only one (or a relative few) aspect(s)ofthe industrial facility operation (building HVAC, for example) is toonarrowlyfocused to be a PWA.b) The PWA is also systematic because a systems approach is used indefiningthe scope and areas/systems to be investigated, as well as how theassessmentis conducted so that the outcomes of the assessment are synergistic and donotconflict with each other or result in a net negative energy savings from aprocess or utility systems perspective.c) Plant Wide Assessments typically consist of at least two steps: 1)Assesswhich plant systems offer the greatest energy saving potential by compilingaprofile of energy consumption; 2) Identify specific projects andopportunitiesin energy consuming systems evaluated to reduce energy consumption.Engineering studies to determine equipment specifications and designs thatwould capture the energy savings are beyond the scope of a PWA.Interested parties should access the DOE Golden Field Office Home Page at,http://www.eere.energy.gov/golden/funding.html, and access the announcementinthe Industry Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) web site by clicking onthe?Access? link.

Additional Information on Eligibility
Only industrial ?end-users? are eligible tosubmit proposals since they are inthe sole position of implementing the project. ?End-users? are defined asthosecompanies/plants that own and operate an industrial facility. In additiontoend-user participation, a project team may involve other partnersincluding,but not limited to, design and consulting engineering firms, equipmentmanufacturers, distributors, utilities, energy service companies, stateenergyoffices, research institutions, etc. End-user companies are encouraged toinclude such participation to build a multi-disciplinary team. Othernon-enduser entities are also encouraged to catalyze and support proposalsubmissionby end-user companies.DOE is specifically soliciting the following industrial plants under thisFinancial Opportunity Announcement: wood and lumber production andprocessingplants; flat glass manufacturing plants; underground mining facilities withprocesses in the areas of extraction, material handling, and materialprocessing; and chemical plants that manufacture olefins either fromnaturalgas or from petroleum, ammonia, sulfuric acid, methanol, and phosphate.Otherenergy intensive industrial plants will also be considered. However, thisexcludes the following industrial plants, as well as those projectsdescribedin Appendix C: pulp and paper plants, aluminum production and processingplants, steel production and processing plants, heat treating/treatment andforging plants, petroleum refineries, metal casting plants, fiber glassproduction and processing plants, molded glass container production andprocessing plants, and surface mining and processing facilities. DOE isimposing this restriction because DOE has already supported PWAs at thesetypesof industrial plants. Case studies were prepared for all completed PWAsthatDOE has supported and DOE encourages similar plants to review these casestudies at:http://www.oit.doe.gov/bestpractices/case_studies_pwa.shtml and conducttheirown assessments to achieve energy efficiency.
