DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Kansas City Support Office; Non-Competitive Financial Assistance 
Award to the Wisconsin Demand-Side Demonstrations, Inc.

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Noncompetitive Financial Assistance Award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Kansas City Support Office, 
announces, pursuant to the DOE Financial Assistance Rules 10 CFR 
600.7(b)(2)(i)(B) it intends to award a Cooperative Agreement to the 
Wisconsin Demand-Side Demonstrations, Inc. (WDSD). WDSD will work in 
conjunction with the DOE, Industrial Electric Motor Systems Program, to 
(1) gather information, develop materials, and conduct training on 
performance optimization methods which are used to identify efficiency 
opportunities in electric motor-driven systems, and (2) to promote the 
use of performance optimization techniques and/or services to 
industrial electric motor-driven systems stakeholders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: WDSD receives support for their activities 
from eight Wisconsin utilities. In addition to the state utilities, 
WDSD is currently working in conjunction with state agencies, and other 
organizations including industry and equipment manufacturers and 
distributors on a state-wide High Efficiency Motors Program aimed at 
establishing working partnerships in the electric motor systems market 
and increasing the market availability and implementation of high-
efficiency electric motors. WDSD and supporting organizations have also 
worked to develop a core Performance Optimization Program in Wisconsin. 
In this effort, WDSD secured the assistance and input from Ontario 
Hydro staff who have been instrumental in the development and 
implementation of many successful performance optimization efforts in 
Canada.
    Therefore, the proposed project meets the criterion for 
noncompetitive financial assistance specified in 10 CFR 
600.7(b)(2)(i)(B) in that the activities are being or would be 
conducted by the applicant using its own resources or those provided by 
third parties. This award will further the objectives of the DOE, 
Industrial Electric Motor Systems Program to promote the adoption and 
use of efficient electric motor-driven systems. The application is 
being accepted because DOE knows of no other opportunity to conduct 
such a project by any other organization or entity.

PROJECT PERIOD: The project period for this award is two years and is 
expected to begin September 1994. DOE plans to provide initial funding 
in the amount of approximately $40,000 with total project funding 
estimated at $250,000, subject to availability of funds.
