The DSM Steering Committee reviews the DSM Potential Study performed by GDS
Associates for each EKPC IRP. That study identifies all potential cost-effective DSM programs.
John Farley, DSM consultant, also provides additional insight to DSM program cost-effectiveness
evaluations. The DSM Steering Committee, based on their field experience working the
membership, helps to identify the need for cost-effective programs. Although no formal process
exists to determine need for a new DSM programs, participation levels of existing programs are
reviewed to assist in determining the need to continue cost-effective programs. Both the DSM
Steering Committee and the owner-member CEOs expressed a desired to continue cost-effective
residential programs that assist their members having high bills due to energy-inefficient housing.
