AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF AN APPLICATION
FOR A CERTIFICATE OF EXEMPTION
STATE OF __A:..::.:.rk,::a::.,:n:=;s.=as=-_ _ _ _...£)
COUNTY OF
Sebastian
)
I, Darrel Moore, am immediately and directly working on energy efficiency (EE) matters
relating to or on behalf of Gerdau Fort Smith (hereinafter Company or Customer).
Section 11 of the Arkansas Public Service Commission's Rules for Conservation and
Energy Efficiency Programs (C&EE Program Rules) directs that a registered
professional engineer or company official authorized to bind the Company must certify
the accur~cy of Company's request for a Certificate of Exemption to "opt out" of
participating in utility provided EE programs and participate instead in a Self-Directed
EE Option.
In accordance with Section 11 of the C&EE Program Rules, I understand, agree, and
certify as follows:
1. I am a registered professional engineer or company official authorized to bind
Company.
2. I have reviewed the following information provided in Company's request for a
Certificate of Exemption:
(a) the estimate of the expected life of the measure(s) or investment(s);
(b) the estimate of expected EE savings or evidence of the actual EE savings
realized or to be realized, which can be linked to a specific measure(s) or
investment(s) which were not the result of utility-sponsored programs, stated in
kilowatts (kW) or kilowatt hours (kWh) for electricity and in million British Thermal
Units (MMBtu) or thousand cubic feet (Mct) for natural gas;
APSC FILED Time: 9/15/2011 1:56:23 PM: Recvd 9/15/2011 12:54:58 PM: Docket 11-094-sd-Doc. 1
(c) the explanation of how the estimate of expected EE savings or actual EE
savings realized were calculated, including supporting workpapers;
(d) the name, title, company and contact information for the person responsible
for calculating the expected EE savings;
(e) the historical annual usage and peak load information necessary to verify
eligibility pursuant to subsection K or L of Section 11 of the C&EE Program
Rules, and a list of account numbers for all qualifying facilities;
(f) the estimate of expected EE savings or evidence of the actual EE savings
realized, which can be linked to a specific measure(s) or investment(s), may
include allowances for any reasonably known and measurable changes in
operations, changes in output, or production level changes at the qualifying
Customer location( s);
(g) the explanation of how the Customer has exhausted its opportunity to conduct
further meaningful cost-effective EE programs or how the Customer is unable to
realize benefits through participation in its utility's EE programs including a
description of any measures implemented or investments made by the Customer
that support that conclusion if the Customer is alleging that it has exhausted its
opportunity to conduct further meaningful cost-effective EE programs or that is
unable to realize benefits through participation in its utility's EE programs; and
(h) the description of the steps the Customer has taken or will take to measure
and verify the achievement of the estimated EE savings supporting the request
for a Certificate.
3. Based on my review of the information provided in Company's request for a
Certificate of Exemption, and my professional judgment as a professional engineer
and/or Company official, the information and assertions contained in the Certificate of
Exemption are accurate.
