Revised Project Timeline 3 October 27Subcommittee meeting to discuss revised schedule and overall approach to analyzing the measure data from the PTR and C&RD. October 29All data due to Ecotope (w/ exception of IDEA and maybe PNGC…) November 19Ecotope sends draft list of utilities and proposed interview questions to subcommittee for review December 2/3Subcommittee meeting – list of utilities finalized; discuss interview questions. December 6-10Ecotope to start scheduling interviews December 10Final interview questions December 13 – January 21 Utility interviews February 11Draft report due February 18Subcommittee to provide feedback on draft report February 21-25Subcommittee meeting – presentation on draft report March 1Presentation on draft report to full RTF March 18Final report due

Interim Analysis Methodology 4  Characterize utilities – Clean/prune data (remove misc. “non-utility” entities) – Small (<15 aMW) – Rural (LDD recipients) – Residential (> 60%)  Use PTR dataset as base – C&RD to be available for next round – PNGC and IDEA pools to be broken out in next round  Develop measure bins based on PTR categories  Develop high-level summaries of measure implementation behavior

Analysis Categories  Renewables  Measure Bins – Commercial Envelope – Commercial Equipment – Commercial Lighting – Commercial Third Party – Residential Appliances – Residential Envelope – Residential HVAC – Residential Water Heating – Low Income Weatherization – Agricultural – Industrial – Utility Systems – Traffic Signals 5

Utility Breakdowns  Small = 41  Rural = 36  Small or rural = 77  Small/rural = 13  Residential = 36  Small/residential = 12  Rural/residential = 16  Small/rural/residential = 6 6

Potential Utility Selection Criteria  Utility characterization breakdowns  Volume of savings  Patterns of measure implementation of various utilities  Residential vs. commercial  Renewables vs. measures  Climate 7

Distribution of Utilities by Load & Customer Base (All Utilities) 8

Overall Distribution of Measures (All Utilities) 9

Overall Distribution of Measures, Not Renewables (All Utilities) 10

Distribution of Measures by Small/Rural 11

Distribution of Measures vs. Renewables by Small/Rural Utilities 12

Next Steps  Incorporate C&RD and individual utilities from PNGC and IDEA  Perform analysis on complete dataset  Take a closer look at individual measures, normalize across utilities for comparative analysis  Refine utility selection criteria  Develop list of recommended utilities  Develop draft survey questions 13
