This book was released on 1994 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the Database on Energy Efficiency Programs (DEEP) is to document the measured cost and performance of utility-sponsored, energy-efficiency, demand-side management (DSM) programs. Consistent documentation of DSM programs is a challenging goal because of problems with data consistency, evaluation methodologies, and data reporting formats that continue to limit the usefulness and comparability of individual program results. This first DEEP report investigates the results of 20 recent commercial lighting DSM programs. The report, unlike previous reports of its kind, compares the DSM definitions and methodologies that each utility uses to compute costs and energy savings and then makes adjustments to standardize reported program results. All 20 programs were judged cost-effective when compared to avoided costs in their local areas. At an average cost of 3.9{cents}/kWh, however, utility-sponsored energy efficiency programs are not ''too cheap to meter.'' While it is generally agreed upon that utilities must take active measures to minimize the costs and rate impacts of DSM programs, the authors believe that these activities will be facilitated by industry adoption of standard definitions and reporting formats, so that the best program designs can be readily identified and adopted.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The average cost to utilities to save a kilowatt-hour (kWh) in the United States is 2.5 cents, according to the most comprehensive assessment to date of the cost performance of energy efficiency programs funded by electricity customers. These costs are similar to those documented earlier.Cost-effective efficiency programs help ensure electricity system reliability at the most affordable cost as part of utility planning and implementation activities for resource adequacy.Building on prior studies, Berkeley Lab analyzed the cost performance of 8,790 electricity efficiency programs between 2009 and 2015 for 116 investor-owned utilities and other program administrators in 41 states. The Berkeley Lab database includes programs representing about three-quarters of total spending on electricity efficiency programs in the United States"--Abstract.

Book excerpt: The brief is the fifth in a series of Berkeley Lab reports that are part of the Cost of Saved Energy Project. This brief describes analyses of cost and electricity savings data for more than 1,600 individual efficiency programs offered to customers of utilities that serve about half of U.S. electricity load. These data are reported to d by 78 program administrators in 36 states.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As efficiency programs gain wider traction as a utility resource, the need increases in step for high-quality, comprehensive and consistent data metrics on energy efficiency program costs and cost-effectiveness. In this report ACEEE reviews utility-sector energy efficiency program costs in recent years (2009-2012). They collected data from reports by program administrators to calculate the levelized cost of saved energy, which is the best way to compare energy efficiency to other energy resource options.
Download or read book Utility Customer funded Energy Efficiency Programs written by Galen L. Barbose and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electric and natural gas energy efficiency in the United States is pursued through a diverse mix of policies and programmatic efforts, which support and supplement private investments by individuals and businesses. These efforts include federal and state minimum efficiency standards for electric and gas end-use products; state building energy codes; a national efficiency labelling program (ENERGY STAR®); tax credits; and a broad array of largely incentive-based programs for consumers, funded primarily by electric and natural gas utility customers. This book provides information on projected spending and savings of the future of utility customer-funded energy efficiency programs in the United States; and discusses the shifting landscape of ratepayer-funded energy efficiency in the United States.

Download or read book Seeing Savings from an ESPC Project in Fort Polk s Utility Bills written by J. A. Shonder and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal agencies have implemented many energy efficiency projects over the years with direct funding or alternative financing vehicles such as energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs). While it is generally accepted that these projects save energy and costs, the savings are usually not obvious in the utility bills. This is true for many valid technical reasons, even when savings are verified in other ways to the highest degree of certainty. However, any perceived deficiency in the evidence for savings is problematic when auditors or other observers evaluate the outcome of energy projects and the achievements of energy management programs. This report discusses under what circumstances energy savings should or should not be evident in utility bills. In the special case of a large ESPC project at the Army's Fort Polk, the analysis of utility bills carried out by the authors does unequivocally confirm and quantify savings. The data requirements and methods for arriving at definitive answers through utility bill analysis are demonstrated in our discussion of the Fort Polk project. The following paragraphs address why the government generally should not expect to see savings from ESPC projects in their utility bills. We also review lessons learned and best practices for measurement and verification (M & V) that can assure best value for the government and are more practical, straightforward, and cost-effective than utility bill analysis.
