Non-Energy Benefits Estimating the Economic Benefits of the Ohio Electric Partnership Program 2006 ACI Home Performance Conference May 25, 2006 Jackie Berger

2 Ohio Electric Partnership Program Electric usage reduction program managed by Ohio Office of Energy Efficiency High use electric PIPP customers are targeted for service delivery Measures include refrigerators, freezers, light bulbs, aerators, showerheads, water heater wraps

3 Macroeconomic Effects Direct Effects Indirect Effects Induced Effects Jobs and output created from the initial investment in the program. + Jobs and output in industries that supply goods and services to the program. + Jobs and the output created when the individuals who are directly and indirectly affected by the program spend their earnings. Examples: auditor salaries, refrigerator purchases. Examples: office supplies purchased by service delivery agencies. Examples: consumer goods purchased by service delivery staff members.

4 Economic Multiplier Example: –Program expenditures (direct effects): $10 million –Indirect effects: $500,000 –Induced effects: $1 million –Multiplier = 1.15

5 Ohio Economic Benefits 1.Expenditure of State funds on program substitutes for expenditure of State funds on energy assistance. 2.Ratepayers have reduced electric costs if program benefit/cost ratio is > 1.

6 Expenditure of State Funds If Ohio was not spending State funds on the EPP, these funds would be used to subsidize electric bills. Expenditures on energy conservation have a greater impact on the economy than expenditures on electricity. –A larger fraction of expenditures on energy conservation are spent inside the state. –Energy conservation work is more labor intensive than electricity production.

7 Expenditure of State Funds Economic benefit from EPP expenditures = conservation multiplier – electric multiplier () * EPP expenditures in Ohio – electric multiplier * EPP expenditures outside Ohio

8 Reduction of Ratepayer Subsidy If the program has a benefit/cost ratio of > 1, there will be an additional reduction in the amount spent on electricity. This reduction goes to the Ohio ratepayers who had subsidized the electric use of PIPP participants. Ohio ratepayers have more disposable income to spend on consumer goods that have higher multipliers for the Ohio economy than electricity multipliers.

9 Reduction of Ratepayer Subsidy Economic benefit from EPP net benefits = consumer goods multiplier – electric multiplier () * net benefits spent – electric multiplier * net benefits saved
