  1. Seattle City Light BPA Conservation Conference Portland, September 25, 2001

  2. Pricing and Metering The SCL Experience • MeterWatch • Hourly Load Profiles Published on the Web • EPRI Demand Response Pilot • Price Based Peak Management • Conservation 2001 • Conervation incentives and results

  3. SCL MeterWatchOverview • Free on-line energy information service • Part of overall e-business strategy • Goal: Current information easily accessible to customers • Available now to large customers with interval meters

  4. SCL MeterWatch

  5. SCL MeterWatchDevelopment and Deployment • In-house development process • 1-2 years in development • Initially deployed to large downtown network customers • Currently deploying to other large SCL customers

  6. EPRI Demand Response Pilot • Price based Load Management • Hybrid of TOU / Real-time pricing • High fixed price for predetermined number of hours (i.e., 300 hours/year) • Hours “called” day-ahead when peak events occur (hot-spells, cold-snaps)

  7. EPRI Demand Response Pilot

  8. EPRI Demand Response Pilot

  9. EPRI Demand Response Pilot

  10. EPRI Demand Response PilotPotential Benefits • Predictable payback on customer’s investment to reduce peak • More closely targeted, higher incentive than traditional TOU • Less customer risk than market-based rates • Good during volatile spot market, high rates of capacity expansion

  11. EPRI Demand Response PilotOperational Strategy • 2-way communication system for day-ahead notice/alert messaging • Equip each building with gateway linked to building control systems • Customers program their systems for automated response (with event override option)

  12. EPRI Demand Response PilotPilot Project Goals • Can both customer and utility benefit financially? • Will customers accept the challenge? • Is a significant customer response feasible? • What kind of load management options make sense?

  13. EPRI Demand Response PilotPreliminary Study Results • Peak shaving (conservation on peak) limited but shows good payback • Load shifting (I.e., thermal storage) less promising • Use of customer generation has significant load reduction potential • Project currently “On Hold”

  14. Conservation Today at SCL • Using Conservation to Meet Load Growth • Mayor’s Campaign (behavioral)Save 10% at Home and at Work • Conservation Acceleration “10+10” Incentive Bonus Program • Rising Utility Rates • Measuring the results

  15. Conservation at SCLCommercial Incentive programs • Lighting, HVAC, Controls, Transformers, Glazing and Insulation • Incentives cover up to 70% of the cost for qualifying lighting and equipment. • Industrial Process Improvements • Incentives up to 80% of the cost for qualifying process improvements that improve energy efficiency. http://cityofseattle.net/light/conserve/business/

  16. Conservation at SCLResidential, Small Commercial programs • Major and small appliance information, buying tips, rebates • Built Smart - "beyond code" incentives for new multifamily construction • Compact Fluorescent Bulbs - Regional promotion program • Low Income Assistance • Multifamily Common Area Lighting • Multifamily Weatherization http://cityofseattle.net/light/conserve/resident/

  17. Conservation at SCLMayor’s Campaign http://www.cityofseattle.net/light/green/tips

  18. Conservation at SCLConservation Acceleration • “10 + 10” program • “Signing bonus” for energy conservation retrofits contracted by July 31, 2001 • a 10% bonus for all conservation retrofit projects inspected and approved by November 30, 2001 • Very Positive response • 280 contracts, 7.5 aMW signed by 7/31 • Exceeding previous goals for all of 2001
