DSM Plan Evaluation & Approval Process Programs and measures are reviewed for cost effectiveness by the utility companies before they file their annual DSM implementation plans. ACC Staff review the cost effectiveness of programs and measures and develop a recommendation for Commission consideration. Commissioners review the cost effectiveness of the plan when they vote to approve or deny the Commission Staff’s recommendation. Implemented programs and measures are tracked in the field and adjustments are made to achieve cost effectiveness as needed. Independent third-party evaluators assess the performance of programs and measures in the field. The utilities report the program results on a semi-annual and annual basis. Program results feed into the development of the next plan.
