Energy efficiency is a demand-side resource
Energy conservation Load management Demand-side management Integrated resource planning Demand response Peak clipping Load shifting Fuel switching Market transformation Energy efficiency
Demand-side resources: In contrast to supply-side resources, the effective energy (kWh) and capacity (kW) harnessed from changes in customer energy use patterns, including improving energy efficiency, in order to provide long-term, system-wide utility benefits as well as direct benefits to program participants. This definition assumes the demand-side resources chosen also will support net emissions-reduction goals.

Average energy use per person and per $ gdp, 1980-2030 Improvements due to efficiency, industrial shift, and other impacts.
Rate of electricity demandgrowth, 1950-2030Slowing, largely due to ee, load management. 2000-07 average growth: 1.1% per year.

In the 1980s, Austin Energy coined the term, “Conservation Power Plant,” to describe the effect of demand-side resources. Since that time:
More than 500 MW in capacity offset to date New goal, EE for 15% of new energy needs by 2020 Also, to meet 30% of new energy needs
with renewable energy To lead in clean energy innovation

Utility programs work with market-driven changes (better building materials and equipment) plus policies, such as codes and standards.
Energy Efficiency Affects Resource Needs
Supply Side Resources
Market- and Policy-Driven EE
Utility-Driven EE

Business Case for Demand-Side Resources
Utility View• Reduce marginal costs,
improve net benefits• Beat the compliance clock
• Hedge against risks• Support utility modernization• Primary focus on electricity
Community View• Relief through bill savings• Promote better buildings• Provide economic stimulus• Support sustainability• Serve special groups• Increase comfort & convenience• Cross-cut with regional planning
(water, electricity, natural gas, transportation, food, etc.)
Public power sees both sides

Even strong programs must be assessed for each utility
![Page 13: A New View on Energy Efficiency An Introduction for Public Power Utilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062721/5681378f550346895d9f2e8b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
On average, for every $1 invested in EE home improvements, $2.73 in benefits results: $1.67 in direct savings + $1.06 in community jobs, healthcare savings, pollution reduction, etc.

* There’s a difference between a measure and a program!
![Page 18: A New View on Energy Efficiency An Introduction for Public Power Utilities](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062721/5681378f550346895d9f2e8b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This chart shows dozens of measures for 2020 that will be cheaper than predicted energy costs. Today’s average cost for EE: 2¢ – 4¢ per kWh saved.

Address Technical Needs
1. Are products and services are locally available?
2. Are trade allies (sales, installation, service) prepared?
3. Are there problems with disposal of old products?
4. What can we do to help?
The Sacramento (SMUD) refrigerated case lighting promotion relied on products that could be hard for buyers to find. Fixing that problem was job #1.

Address Marketing Needs
1. Understand the target audience’s concerns
2. Choose the right tools at the right times:
Targeted outreach
Advertising and PR
Trade ally campaigns
Pricing – Rates
Pricing – Incentives

Value = net benefits / net costs
Check available data on expected energy and demand savings
Assumptions vary with your point of view – e.g., Utility Cost Perspective, Total Resource Cost Perspective, Societal Perspective, Ratepayer Impact
JAA member? Consider benefits locally and for all JAA members; look for win-win programs

Acknowledge the likelihood of revenue impacts
Count all avoided costs & review revenue requirements
If a rate increase is needed, check the rate structure, too
Focus on bottom-line bill savings
Public power utilities can be lean and strong

Top-level support is the number one predictor of program success. As a utility leader, you can make a difference.
To build more support:
Bring economics home. Energy efficiency saves local dollars and grows jobs.
Focus on bills not rates. Support public participation. Work with your JAA or with neighboring utilities. Look to business programs for big savings, but offer
residential programs, too. Evaluate and measure savings; celebrate success
