(Attachment B to Board-Approved Energy Management Plan Project Charter) <br />Stakeholders <br />Stakeholder groups that we want to inform and engage include the following. Additional <br />stakeholders may be identified and included once the project is underway. <br />• Interested OWASA customers <br />System users that may not be OWASA accountholders <br />Community organizations <br />• Local government elected officials and staff <br />• UNC and UNC Healthcare <br />• Chamber of Commerce, including the Foundation for a Sustainable Community <br />• Conservation/environmental organizations <br />• Civic groups <br />• Energy-related companies serving our community, including our energy utilities and fuel <br />suppliers (Duke Energy; PSNC/Scana Energy; Piedmont Electric Membership Cooperative) <br />• Energy and sustainability program staff from Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Orange County, Chapel <br />Hill — Carrboro City Schools, and UNC/UNC Healthcare <br />• Other organizations with expertise in/support for sustainable energy management (NC <br />Energy Office; Advanced Energy; Alternative Energy Corporation; Piedmont Biofuels; <br />Strata Solar; YES Solar; etc.) <br />• Our employees, who will be key to the success of our energy management efforts <br />Core Messages <br />The engagement effort shall clearly convey the following messages to stakeholders: <br />• OWASA desires to increase the sustainability of its energy use through cost-effective <br />investments, operational changes, policies, etc. <br />• OWASA believes that enhancing energy use sustainability and reducing our GHG <br />emissions is beneficial to our community, State and nation, and an important priority in our <br />community. <br />• Water conservation is a key means of reducing GHGs, because saving water means less <br />fossil-fuel derived energy will be needed to pump and treat water and wastewater to meet <br />the needs of our customers. Conversely, because a substantial amount of water is used for <br />energy production, saving energy also enables better management of water resources. <br />• OWASA seeks to proactively inform and engage stakeholders as we develop of the Energy <br />Management Plan, and we welcome and appreciate questions, comments, and suggestions <br />regarding our energy management planning efforts, and our community engagement <br />efforts. <br />• OWASA desires to inform the community on an ongoing basis in the future about its <br />energy management initiatives and their results. <br />2 <br />W <br />
