Energy Savings Assistance Program Proposed Changes

New Measure

Smart Power Strip

Proposed Retired Measures Evaporative Cooler Covers Duct Sealing & Testing Central Air Conditioners

Other Proposed Changes:

Change refrigerator replacement criteria from pre-1993 to pre-1999Financial incentive to motivate customers to keep their scheduled appointmentsContractor financial incentive to refer new customers to the program

(These measures failed the benefit/cost ratio threshold adopted in D.08-11-031 for all dwelling types and climate zones in utility service territory.)

Proposed Budget & Homes Treated Projection

• How do the Applications support the budget increases in relation to NGAT funding?• NGAT funding is not set in the low income proceeding and was not

coordinated with this budget. SDG&E has authority to track NGAT costs that exceed the budget authorized in base rates for possible future recovery in a rate proceeding.

• How do the Applications support the budget increases in relation to the energy savings targets?• IOUs were directed by the Commission to install all feasible

measures. SDG&E’s estimated energy savings and budget are based on the projection of measure installations and the number of treated homes.

• How do the Applications support the goal to improve cost effectiveness?• SDG&E’s proposed portfolio consists of energy efficient measures

that pass the benefit cost ratio threshold of 0.25 and those measures that improve the customer’s quality of life for health, comfort, and safety reasons.

Proposed Joint Studies

• Overview of impact evaluation study, and requested budget• Estimate the first year electric and gas savings for the program for each

utility, by housing type, and by measure group, and other dimensions (e.g., household size, tenure) to assist the 2015-17 planning cycle.

• This study will occur in 2012-2014, after the completion of the 2010 program year and when a full year of post-installation billing data is available for 2010.

• Overview of energy education study, and requested budget• Examine current and potential practices related to the educational

materials, delivery mechanisms, and relative value associated with the education component of the ESA Program to elicit long term behavior and attitude changes in customers. 2012-2014 ESA Program Studies   PG&E SCE SoCalGas SDG&E
