The Environment
• Unheard of peak prices• High risk of extended blackouts• Governor orders unprecedented exceptions
to state administrative constraints tostreamline process.
• State of high urgency

Lessons Learned
Ceniceros 15
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N
Lessons Learned: Timing
• Efficiency retrofits take time: plan on atleast 6 months for project completion
• If you want it fast, you must adjustexpectations for risk tolerance, quality ofproposals, project diversity, and projectfailure rates
• Multiple strategies can help balance thesefactors

C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N
• Delegation of authority was critical– Committee given authority to approve
grant/contract awards– Contractors given more autonomy, judged on
performance– Project managers given more authority
• Couldn’t have done it without highlydedicated staff
• Streamlined processes were critical...

Ceniceros 23
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N
• Bonus incentives can be effective atcompressing project planning/constructionschedules if properly timed
• Need firm deadlines with strongconsequences for missing them
• Applicants need easy access to technicalassistance
• Target projects with short developmentcycles
Lessons Learned:Moving the Projects
Ceniceros 24
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N
Lessons Learned:Serving Small Projects
• Small projects offer advantages:– Lower penetration = greater savings opportunity– More likely to be influenced by (i.e. “need”)
incentives and technical assistance– Less complex projects = faster delivery– Increases pool of available projects– More equitable
Ceniceros 25
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N
Lessons Learned:Serving Small Projects
• Serving small projects:– Is extremely resource intensive– Comes at a much higher administrative cost– Is best done by a 3rd party administrator– Even then, takes time to process large number of apps.– Simplify application/rules– Provide ample technical support– Anticipate eligibility conflicts, but stay flexible
Ceniceros 26
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N
Lessons Learned:Solicitation Process
• Keep application and rules simple
• Allow at least 4-6 weeks for responses
• Impose strict deadline if “1st come/1st served”
• Competitive solicitation did not yield lower price
• Strongly emphasize that existing projects are noteligible
Ceniceros 27
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N
Lessons Learned:Third Party Contracts
• Build in flexibility to allow variety ofmanufacturer products
• Pre-approve advertising• Address data confidentiality issues up front• Issue separate applications and instructions
for grants versus contracts• Maintain funding flexibility
Ceniceros 28
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N
Lessons Learned:Dealing with the “Aftermath”
• Be prepared for unhappy latecomers
• Be prepared for inundation of unsolicitedproposals
• Prepare quick but fair dispute resolutionprocess
• Diligently guard against double dippingand blatant free ridership.
