Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative delivers
$137,952.57 rebate check to Boise Cascade
Friday morning there was a cause for celebra
tion at the Boise Cascade plywood and stud mill
in Elgin.
Representatives from Oregon Trail Electric
Cooperative (OTEC), Bonneville Power Admin
istration (BPA) and Energy Smart. Industrial
(ESI) were on hand to present Boise Cascade
with an energy efficiency rebate check, in the
amount of $137,952.57 for a chip system re
placement project.
“In July 2015, we met with Boise Cascade and
OTEC to discuss this project,” said Nosh Maku
jina, Energy Smart Industrial Partner. “We all
agreed it was a good project. So, for about two
months, we started data logging the existing
equipment to establish our baseline energy
measurement.”
The chip system replacement project included
replacing a 160 horsepower chip blower with a
60 horsepower chip blower.
“On the baseline equipment, the actual horse
power measured was 134 and an astounding 18
on the new equipment,” said Makujina. ‘This re
sulted in a savings of 551,810 kilowatt hours
(kWh) per year. Approximately an 87 percent re
duction in energy use for that system, which is
just outstanding. We are usually bragging about
10% savings on most projects - but, this one
was ‘off the charts’ and a real cause for celebra
tion.”
“551,810 kilowatt hours (kWh) is enough to
power 500 homes for a year,” said OTEC’s Gen
eral Manager Werner Buehler.
‘The existing 150 horsepower chip blower sys
tem ran continuously which is why it was such
an energy hog,” said Cody Cox, Northeast Ore
gon Regional Engineer, Boise Cascade.
“In early September 2015, we began taking
the old blower system out, redirecting the sys
tem with a new conveyance and installing the
new equipment. You can imagine the logistics of
this. We had to do as much prep work as we
could; excavating, digging out foundations, dig
ging basements, installing foundations and
structural steel - all while maintaining and run
ning the existing system. It was impressive to
see it all come together,” said Cox. “Boise Cas
cade really appreciates partnering with BPA,
and OTEC. It is a huge benefit and a financial
asset to us and the larger Boise Cascade com
munity.”

“I actually worked for Boise Cascade for 34
years,” said OTEC’s Union County board mem
ber, Greg Howard. “I want to say there have
been so many efficiency projects in the past that
I have been involved with, when I worked for
Boise Cascade, where we would not have been
able to justify the project without these partner
ships.”
Howard added, “All of these projects incre
mentally helped Boise Cascade to keep the
lights on out at this plant. It is huge and we really
appreciate it. I’m now retired, but I am really
lucky and fortunate. Because, now I am working
as a board member with a great team on the
OTEC side. It is great having all of these teams
working with us.”
