Overview of Energy Efficiency Program Offerings

Standard Offer Programs - New Opportunities for Energy Efficiency July 17, 2001 Texas Energy Efficiency Jay Zarnikau Frontier Associates

Utility Energy Efficiency Programs 1980’s - electric utilities sponsored programs focused on rebates. 1990’s - blocks of kW and kWh reduction were bid out through competitive solicitation. 2000’s - standard offer and market transformation programs. Texas Energy Efficiency

What Is a Standard Offer Program? Program administrator (electric utility) offers set incentive payment to participants for each kWh or kW saved through installation and operation of an energy efficiency measure. Program administrator signs a standard contract with participants outlining their responsibilities under the program. Texas Energy Efficiency

Definitions Customer: any distribution service residential, commercial or industrial customer of a utility administrator. Customer may take electric energy service from any provider. Project: a set of energy efficiency measures installed at one or several similar electric utility distribution customer sites. Project Sponsor: an entity contracting with Program Administrator to provide energy efficiency services at a customer site. Texas Energy Efficiency

What is a Standard Offer Program? Applications considered on per-project basis; first- come, first-served. Number of participants limited only by available incentive dollars. Incentive payments are made to Project Sponsor. Project Sponsor and customer determines efficiency measures to be installed. Different from rebates: based on performance, not prescriptive technologies. Texas Energy Efficiency

Program Administrator Responsibilities Perform outreach to energy services community. Review project applications. Sign contracts with Project Sponsors. Perform pre- and post-installation inspections. Make payments to project sponsors. Report results to Public Utility Commission. Texas Energy Efficiency

Who Are the Program Administrators? Energy efficiency programs will be administered by investor-owned utilities: Reliant - HL&PAEP - CP&L TXU ElectricAEP - SWEPCO Entergy-Gulf StatesAEP - WTU Southwest Public ServiceTexas-New Mexico El Paso Electric Texas Energy Efficiency

Equipment distributors or manufacturers Energy service companies Community based organizations Mechanical or lighting contractors Any other entity providing energy efficiency services Who Can Be a Project Sponsor? Texas Energy Efficiency

Project Sponsor Qualifications Statement of professional experience doing similar work Evidence of financial strength and capability Work plan for project design, implementation, operation and management Proof of insurance Texas Energy Efficiency

Project Sponsor Responsibilities Conduct marketing activities and sign contracts with individual customers Apply for incentives Sign standard contract with utility administrator Design and install energy efficiency project Measure and verify energy savings Report savings to Program Administrator Texas Energy Efficiency

Measurement and Verification of Savings Baseline is federal standard or typical practice (where applicable) Savings for many measures based on: –“Deemed” savings or –“Simple” M&V Full M&V for some measures –In accordance with IPMVP Texas Energy Efficiency

Hard-To-Reach Standard Offer Program Residential customers with household incomes at or below 200% of federal poverty guidelines. Customers at or below 125% of federal poverty guidelines on waiting list for weatherization services. No Project Sponsor can receive more that 20% of annual incentive budget. Each household must be assessed to determine prioritization of energy efficiency measures to be installed. Texas Energy Efficiency

Load Management Standard Offer Program Targets electric load control or shifting of electric loads. Load control or shift must be provided for a minimum of 10 years. Electric load must be under control of Project Sponsor, ISO, or other transmission organization. ERCOT is currently reviewing procedures for Load Management to participate in market. Texas Energy Efficiency

Summary Standard offer programs are the next generation of energy efficiency programs. Standard Offer programs are targeted to all customer classes. Programs are administered by electric utilities. Program marketing and project installations are responsibility of the Project Sponsor. Texas Energy Efficiency
