Energy Efficiency Program

Overview

Clean Air Through Energy Efficiency

CATEE Conference

(2)

General Overview

• State of Texas enacted legislation requiring Transmission and Distribution utilities (TDUs) achieve annual goals for energy efficiency

• Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) implemented rules and guidelines for consistency among the TDU programs

• Texas TDUs established energy efficiency programs to meet legislative requirements

• All Texas TDUs must offset 30% of their annual growth in demand or 0.4% of peak demand through energy efficiency. Energy savings goals are calculated using a 20% conservation load factor

• All Texas TDUs are required to make energy efficiency programs available to customers in all eligible customer classes in order to reduce energy consumption and costs

• TDUs must offer programs through third-party implementers or energy efficiency service providers (EESPs)

(3)

Types of Programs

Standard Offer Programs (SOPs)

– Primary objectives of SOPs are to achieve cost-effective reduction in summer & winter peak demand

– TDU’s enter into contracts with EESPs for the installation of qualifying energy efficiency measures that result in a reduction of peak demand (kW) and energy savings (kWh)

– Incentive payments to EESPs are based solely on the kW and kWh savings yielded through the installation of qualifying energy efficiency measures. Depending on the SOP, measures may be installed at new or existing facilities

– EESPs may use the incentive payment to offset the cost of a measure to end-use customer – Residential incentives are paid directly to the EESP

– Simple streamlined process designed to encourage strong participation from EESPs

Market Transformation Programs (MTPs)

– MTPs are strategic programs intended to induce lasting change in market behavior by removing identified barriers to accelerate the adoption of energy-efficient technologies – Previously identified barriers include lack of education, funds, training, assistance and

information to customers

– Incentives are paid to implementers for providing energy efficiency education, information, assistance, training, and guidance to customers

– Incentives are paid for kW and kWh savings yielded from projects

Am I Eligible to Participate?

• Any entity meeting the SOPs application requirements that installs eligible energy efficiency measures at a customer site with electricity distribution service from AEP TCC or AEP TNC is eligible to apply for participation in the programs

• Eligible EESPs may include:

‒ Energy service companies ‒ Retail electric providers

‒ National or local companies that provide energy-related products (e.g., insulation or HVAC) ‒ Product retailers, if they install the particular energy-efficient products

(9)

How Do I Participate?

• Devise a business plan of involvement in energy efficiency programs

• Review each program manual in its entirety • Review each program agreement

• Complete and submit on-line registration & application • Comply with requirements of each program type

• Upon acceptance, initiate business plan • Perform reporting for incentive payment

• Applications will be reviewed upon receipt of all required application documents

• Contracts will be awarded based on EESP qualifications, performance history, etc., to ensure program goals will be achieved with quality installations and timely reporting

Challenges Ahead

Meeting increasing demand and energy reduction goals will prove to be

challenging due to TDU administrative cost caps, rate cost caps by customer class,

and annual changes in avoided costs of energy and capacity

Cost-effectiveness standard is at the program level. Benefit/Cost ≥ 1 indicates

cost-effective program.

Program costs include incentives, EM&V costs,

performance bonus (awarded share of net benefits), administrative and R&D costs

Changing baselines within residential and non-residential customer classes:

– Increased efficiencies in baselines for residential heat pumps and split system A/C will result in savings drop

– Savings reductions from replace-on-burnout (ROB) in retail residential appliances (room A/C, refrigerators) and HVAC systems

– Commercial lighting applications: continued drop in lighting retrofit savings as T-12 baseline phases out. Higher efficiencies realized with T-8 baseline
