Kohler Co.

Kohler Co.’s Project (i.e., “the Casa Grande Vikrell Plant Electric Boiler & Microgrid System”) Aims to Upgrade the Vikrell Plant in Casa Grande, Arizona, to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Equivalent Emissions and Provide Jobs to the Local Community. the Project Will Demonstrate the Use of Electric Boilers Powered by a New Microgrid, Consisting of a Photovoltaic Solar Array and Battery Energy Storage System (bess), That Uses Machine Learning to Provide “smoothing” of Electricity Supply and Demand. With the Introduction of Onsite Generation, Kohler Will Participate in Programs Offered by Arizona Public Service Aimed at Bolstering the Local Casa Grande Grid. Additionally, by Electrically Linking the New Utility Service With the Existing Facility Service, Kohler Can Further Decarbonize the Site by Ensuring That Any Excess Clean Energy Produced via the Microgrid Is Consumed Onsite. the Project Aims to Demonstrate a Commercially Viable Pathway for Electrified Industrial Applications That Currently Use Natural Gas for Process Heat Needs. This Project Will Provide Tangible Benefits to the Casa Grande Community Including New Permanent Jobs and Increased Grid Stability Using Kohler’s Microgrid.

How to read these numbers

One award, start to finish: Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed vs. ceiling: Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
Paid out: The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
The ledger: Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
The money bar: One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
