2. 5th Plan Relies on Conservation and Renewable Resources to Meet Load Growth*
*Actual future conditions (gas prices, CO2 control, conservation accomplishments) will change resource development schedule and amounts

3. The 5th Plan Calls for 700 aMW of Savings From 2005 - 2009
slide 3

4. Are We Meeting The Plan’s Targets?
We Think All Returns Have Been Counted 62 Utilities 88% of Regional Load

8. We Met the 2005 Target! (and we’ll probably meet the 2006 target)
slide 8

9. BPA and Utilities Are Investing About $170 Million/yr in Energy Efficiency*
*Equivalent to 1.75% of Regional Retail Revenues

10. We’re Meeting The 5th Plan Targets At A Utility Cost of Under $15 MWH
slide 10

11. Which is A BARGAIN!
slide 11

12. Since 1980 Energy Efficiency Resources Met Half of PNW Load Growth

13. The Road Ahead – Is This The Renaissance?
slide 13

14. The Road Ahead – A Brighter Future @ Lower Wattage
Over 14 million CFLs sold in 2006 PNW has 16% of all US installs but just 4% of the US population
slide 14

15. The Road Ahead – Utilities Appear to Be “Ramping Up”
Increasing its 2008 conservation goal by 40%
Developing a “green utility” strategy
Increasing its 2008 efficiency goal by 20%
Expanding efficiency target “company wide”
Doubling its annual efficiency budget in 2008
Funding extended through 2025
IOUs permitted to increase ETO energy efficiency funding over and above the 3% public purpose minimum
Requires Washington utilities with more that 25,000 customers to set 10-year conservation acquisition targets to achieve all cost-effective savings

16. Other Factors

17. Natural Gas Prices Are Still High
slide 17

18. And Are Forecast to Remain So
slide 18

19. New Generating Resource Costs Are Higher

20. Carbon Control Might Make 4% to 15% More Conservation “Cost-Effective”
Additional MWa $10 - $40 Ton
