National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency eeactionplan Appendix Recommendations and Options to Consider

Options to Consider to Implement National Action Plan Recommendations Establish policies to establish energy efficiency as a priority resource. Integrate energy efficiency into utility, state, and regional resource planning activities. Quantify and establish the value of energy efficiency, considering energy savings, capacity savings, and environmental benefits, as appropriate. Example: California – Energy Action Plan II, published by the Energy Commission and Public Utilities Commission, requires that all cost-effective EE is integrated into utilities’ resource plans as the first option in the resource loading order on an equal basis with supply-side resources. Texas – Requires distribution utilities to meet 10% of forecast load growth with EE resources. Due to the success of the program, the state is considering strengthening the resource standard in Recognize EE as a High Priority Resource

Options to Consider to Implement National Action Plan Recommendations (2) Establish appropriate cost-effectiveness tests for a portfolio of programs to reflect the long-term benefits of energy efficiency. Establish the potential for long-term, cost effective energy efficiency savings by customer class through proven programs, innovative initiatives, and cutting-edge technologies. Establish funding requirements for delivering long-term, cost-effective energy efficiency. Develop long-term energy saving goals as part of energy planning processes. Develop robust measurement and verification (M&V) procedures. Designate which organization(s) is responsible for administering the energy efficiency programs. Provide for frequent updates to energy resource plans to accommodate new information and technology. Examples: Total Resource Cost tests used by NYSERDA, NSTAR (Massachusetts), California IOU’s and Bonneville Power Administration. Pacificorp incorporates EE as an element in the resource planning process and supply portfolio. EE included in supply planning tools as a shaped reduction in the forecasted load year plan includes 250 aMW of EE with an additional 200 aMW if cost- effective. Make a Strong, Long-Term Commitment to Cost-effective EE as a Resource

Options to Consider to Implement National Action Plan Recommendations (3) Example: Utah Governor Huntsman announced in April 2006 a plan to increase EE in Utah and achieve a goal of 20% EE improvement statewide by State government will: Promote energy-efficient products Collaborate with utilities, regulators, legislators, and other stakeholders to advance EE in all sectors of Utah’s economy Work with stakeholders to identify and address regulatory barriers to increased deployment of EE measures Work to identify and address legislative barriers and disincentives Educate the public and private sectors about the benefits and means to implement EE. Broadly Communicate Benefits and Opportunities for EE Establishing and educating stakeholders on the business case for energy efficiency at the state, utility, and other appropriate levels addressing relevant customer, utility, and societal perspectives. Communicating the role of energy efficiency in lowering customer energy bills and system costs and risks over time. Communicating the role of building codes, appliance standards, and tax and other incentives.

Options to Consider to Implement National Action Plan Recommendations (4) Decide on and commit to a consistent way for program administrators to recover energy efficiency costs in a timely manner. Establish funding mechanisms for energy efficiency from among the available options such as revenue requirement or resource procurement funding, system benefits charges, rate- basing, shared-savings, incentive mechanisms, etc. Establish funding for multi-year periods. Examples: NYSERDA has 5-year funding cycles through a system benefits charge. California IOU’s are the program administrators of funding through a system benefits charge with 3-year funding cycles. A January 2007 Arkansas PSC order established rules for EE programs. Utilities may recover costs associated with EE programs through either a surcharge or a rate rider. Cost recovery through that mechanism is limited to the incremental costs of providing the program that are not already included in the current rates of the utility. Provide Sufficient, Timely and Stable Program Funding to Deliver EE where Cost-effective

Options to Consider to Implement National Action Plan Recommendations (5) Address typical utility throughput incentive and remove other regulatory and management disincentives to energy efficiency. Provide utility incentives for successful management of energy efficiency programs. Include impact on adoption of energy efficiency as one of the goals of retail rate design, recognizing that it must be balanced with other objectives. Eliminate rate designs that discourage energy efficiency by not increasing costs as customers consume more electricity or natural gas. Adopt rate designs that encourage energy efficiency by considering the unique characteristics of each customer class and including partnering tariffs with other mechanisms that encourage energy efficiency, such as benefit sharing programs and on-bill financing. Examples: In Maryland, Baltimore Gas and Electric (seven years under decoupling mechanism). Also, Washington Gas and Northwest Natural Gas (in Oregon) California IOU’s have decoupling for electric and gas. Balancing account used to collect forecasted revenue with an annual true-up. Revenue requirements adjusted each year for inflation. Modify Policies to Align Utility Incentives with the Delivery of Cost- effective EE and Modify Ratemaking Practices to Promote EE Investments
