Electric has taken a giant step forward in helping its customers reduce energy
consumption, while supporting renewable energy sources through its new P2 Green
Initiative and enrollment in AmerenUE&rsquo;s Pure Power Program. </span></p>

has achieved Platinum Pure Power Leader status through AmerenUE, which means
that 100 percent of the electricity used by Kaiser&rsquo;s offices is generated by
wind farms in Missouri.</span></p>

<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;\">&nbsp;&ldquo;We
felt that if we were going to go into the marketplace and partner with clients
and vendors to help customers reduce their energy consumption, stepping up to
the plate within our own company to reduce our own energy consumption would set
the tone immediately from a credibility standpoint,&rdquo; said Kaiser Electric
President Steve Giacin. </span></p>

Electric has also taken the lead in helping its customers reduce energy
consumption through its P2 Green Initiative. Under the program, Kaiser partners
with the client and the end- user to conduct a complete analysis of their
facility&rsquo;s energy consumption, whether new construction or an existing
facility. Once the analysis is complete, Kaiser provides a plan on how the
customer can reduce their carbon footprint and what rebates are available to them
through the E-Pact Energy Policy Act of 2005 to help offset the cost for
improvements. </span></p>

<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black;\">&ldquo;We
are one of the only ones in our industry that are being this aggressive with
reducing energy consumption for our customers,&rdquo; said Dennis Naumann, P2 Green
Initiative coordinator. &ldquo;We see this as the future of the industry and it is an
opportunity for us to bring down the carbon footprint and help our partners
become more energy efficient. We are out there every day constructing buildings
anyway, so why not make them as energy efficient as possible from the start of
the design process?&rdquo;</span></p>
