  10. Advantages • Existing infrastructure • Lower costs • Quicker deployment • Proven performance • Program statistics • Evaluation data 10

  11. Advantages • More opportunities • Low existing efficiency level • Peak load usage (elderly) • Better net impacts • No free riders • Local program expenditures • Offset other SBC expenditures 11

  12. Strategies • Target add-ons, not new programs • Add electric measures to WX • Increase rates for qualifying measures • Make use of client lists and data • Reduce marketing costs • Increase program performance 12

  13. Strategies • Insist on “fair share” • Low-income households pay SBC • Low-income programs have proven performance • Cost-effectiveness • Don’t accept “equity only” label • Demand to see verified savings estimates from other programs 13

Ohio EPP • Target high use PIPP customers • Direct install electric baseload services (refrigerators, CFLs, and other measures) • Delivery by CBOs and contractors • Performance • Rapid deployment (10,000 per year) • High savings (12% of high baseload) • PIPP / SBC savings • Employment / economic impacts 15

Colorado First Response • Target LIHEAP customers • Direct install electric baseload services • Energy kits – counseling setting, mass mailing, business reply mailing • Delivery by Youth Corps and contractors • Performance • Rapid deployment (15,000 per year) • Cost-effective savings (High BCR for best model) 16

  17. California LIEE • Direct install comprehensive measures • Electric – Refrigerators / CFLs • Electric and Gas – Shell measures • Delivery by CBOs and contractors • Performance • Electric baseload is cost-effective • Shell measures are a waste of SBC funds • Fails cost-effectiveness tests • Needs to be completely redesigned 17
