REGIONAL RETAIL UPDATE 23

Retail Working Group  Why the group was formed: Response to CA utility interest to work with NW and expand TV initiative to other product categories.  Purpose: to initiate a forum for a regional retail discussion and sharing  Goals:  To develop a strawman proposal for the Residential Advisory Committee on a regional retail plan, including how the NW can work with CA utilities on a broader retail “play” 24

Retail Working Group Accomplishments:  Defined current efforts and programs in the region (of participants)  Identified challenges  Created a large list of opportunities  Developed a working document of 23 product opportunities and 11 channels. A subset of these products have been identified as high priority  Started a regional conversation about retail! 25

Retail Working Group Next Steps:  NEEA to meet with NWPCC to obtain Power Plan perspective. Timing: mid-June  NEEA to synthesize all work to date into a working framework for discussion. Timing: 2Q  NEEA to meet with utilities to exchange additional information feedback Timing: 3Q  Finalize proposal/road map. If strong case for NEEA role or investment, Initiative Life Cycle process will begin for review by RAC and RPAC. Timing: 4Q  NEEA to send out a poll to determine regional interest in ongoing (quarterly?) forums to exchange information and best practices in retail. Timing: May 26

ENERGY STAR 27

ENERGY STAR Update  Provided comment on upcoming computer spec and Top Tier  Quarterly meetings with NEEP and MEEA  Product 3 rd party accreditation webinar June 16  What support do you want/need? 28

ENERGY STAR  Lighting Update from ENERGY STAR:  Tracking weekly price of EISA compliant bulbs. Let me know if you are interested in any particular models  LEDS: screwbased reflectors are good products. Payback 6 months for Par 35 Sylvania $9 replacement. Good reviews, selling well,exceeding forecasts without subsidy. Replacing CFL reflectors (different savings) Recommends starting pilots now.  MR16 replacement: 50w to 15w coming this month. For high- end kitchens, new market niche. (new chip from CREE)  Omni directional: high satisfaction reported. Available for $19 at Home Detail. ($45 for a true all directional)  Recommends starting with reflectors with a decent rebate or manufacturer buy-down. 29
