supplemenT 1: CosT-effeCTiveness
Cost-EffectivenessIdaho Power considers cost-effectiveness of primary importance in the design, implementation, and tracking of energy efficiency and demand response programs. Idaho Power’s energy efficiency and demand response opportunities are preliminarily identified through the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) process. Idaho Power uses third-party energy efficiency potential studies to identify achievable cost-effective energy efficiency potential, which is added to the resources included in the IRP. Idaho Power’s Program Planning Group (PPG) explores new opportunities to expand current demand-side management (DSM) programs and offerings.
Prior to the actual implementation of energy efficiency or demand response programs, Idaho Power performs a cost-effectiveness analysis to assess whether a potential program design or measure will be cost-effective from the perspective of Idaho Power and its customers. Incorporated in these models are inputs from various sources that use the most current and reliable information available. When possible, Idaho Power leverages the experiences of other utilities in the region and/or throughout the country to help identify specific program parameters. This is accomplished through discussions with other utilities’ program managers and researchers. Idaho Power also uses electric industry research organizations, such as E Source, the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE), American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), Advanced Load Control Alliance (ALCA), and Association of Energy Service Professionals (AESP), to identify similar programs and their results. Additionally, Idaho Power relies on the results of program impact evaluations and recommendations from consultants.
Idaho Power’s goal is for all programs to have benefit/cost (B/C) ratios greater than one for the total resource cost (TRC) test, utility cost (UC) test, and participant cost test (PCT) at the program and measure level where appropriate. Each cost-effectiveness test provides a different perspective, and Idaho Power believes each test provides value when evaluating program performance. If a particular measure or program is found to be not cost-effective from each of the three tests, Idaho Power works with the Energy Efficiency Advisory Group (EEAG) to get input. If the measure or program is indeed offered, the company explains why the measure or program was implemented or continued. The company believes this aligns with the expectations of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) and Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC).
In IPUC Order No. 33365, page 9, the IPUC states the following:
We thus find it reasonable for the Company to continue screening potential programs using each test as a guideline, and to advise us on how the Company’s programs fare under each test. When the Company ultimately seeks to recover its prudent investment in such programs, however, we believe the Company may (but need not exclusively) emphasize the UCT—and that test’s focus on Company-controlled benefits and costs—to argue whether the programs were cost-effective.
Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness Idaho Power Company
Page 2 Demand-Side Management 2016 Annual Report
In the OPUC Order No. 94-590, issued in Utility Miscellaneous (UM) 551, the OPUC outlines specific cost-effectiveness guidelines for energy efficiency measures and programs managed by program administrators. It is the expectation of the OPUC that measures and programs pass both the UC and TRC tests. Measures and programs that do not pass these tests may be offered by a utility if they meet one or more of the following additional conditions specified by Section 13 of Order No. 94-590:
A. The measure produces significant non-quantifiable non-energy benefits (NEB)
B. Inclusion of the measure will increase market acceptance and is expected to lead to reduced cost of the measure
C. The measure is included for consistency with other DSM programs in the region
D. Inclusion of the measure helps increase participation in a cost-effective program
E. The package of measures cannot be changed frequently, and the measure will be cost-effective during the period the program is offered
F. The measure or package of measures is included in a pilot or research project intended to be offered to a limited number of customers
G. The measure is required by law or is consistent with OPUC policy and/or direction
If Idaho Power determines a program or measure is not cost-effective but meets one or more of the exceptions set forth by Order No. 94-590, the company files an exceptions request with the OPUC to continue offering the measure or program within it its Oregon service area.
For operational and administrative efficiency, Idaho Power endeavors to offer identical programs in both its Oregon and Idaho jurisdictions. Some customers, contractors, and trade allies operate in both states. Program consistency is important for the participants’ overall satisfaction with the programs. Offering different program designs would create confusion in the marketplace and could inhibit participation. In addition, program infrastructure is designed to implement consistent programs across the service area.
MethodologyFor its cost-effectiveness methodology, Idaho Power relies on the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) End Use Technical Assessment Guide (TAG); the California Standard Practice Manual and its subsequent addendum, the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency’s (NAPEE) Understanding Cost Effectiveness of Energy Efficiency Programs: Best Practices, Technical Methods, and Emerging Issues for Policy-Makers; and the National Action Plan on Demand Response. For resource planning, Idaho Power has primarily used the TRC test and the UC test to develop B/C ratios to determine the cost-effectiveness of DSM programs. These tests are still used because, as defined in the TAG and California Standard Practice Manual, they are most similar to supply-side tests and provide a useful basis to compare demand-side and supply-side resources. The PCT provides the company the opportunity to assess a program or measure from the participant perspective and to determine if it is in the best interest of the average customer.
Idaho Power Company Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness
Demand-Side Management 2016 Annual Report Page 3
For energy efficiency programs, each program’s cost-effectiveness is reviewed annually from a one-year perspective. The annual energy-savings benefit value is summed over the life of the measure or program and is discounted to reflect 2016 dollars. The result of the one-year perspective is shown in Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness. Appendix 4 of the main Demand-Side Management 2016 Annual Report includes the program cost-effectiveness to date by including the culmination of actual historic savings values and expenses, as well as the ongoing energy-savings benefit over the life of the measures included in a program.
The goal of demand response programs is to minimize or delay the need to build new supply-side resources. Unlike energy efficiency programs, demand response programs must acquire and retain participants each year to maintain a level of demand-reduction capacity for the company.
As part of the public workshops on Case No. IPC-E-13-14, Idaho Power and other stakeholders agreed on a new methodology for valuing demand response. The settlement agreement, as approved in IPUC Order No. 32923 and OPUC Order No. 13-482, defined the annual cost of operating the three demand response programs for the maximum allowable 60 hours to be no more than $16.7 million. This $16.7 million value is the levelized annual cost of a 170-megawatt (MW) deferred resource over a 20-year life. The demand response value calculation will include this value even in years when the IRP shows no peak-hour capacity deficits. The annual value calculation will be updated with each IRP based on changes that include, but are not limited to, need, capital cost, or financial assumptions. In 2016, the cost of operating the three demand response programs was $9.47 million. Idaho Power estimates that if the three programs were dispatched for the full 60 hours, the total costs would have been approximately $12.87 million and would have remained cost-effective.
AssumptionsIdaho Power relies on research conducted by third-party sources to obtain savings and cost assumptions for various measures. These assumptions are routinely reviewed and updated as new information becomes available. For many of the measures within Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness, savings, costs, and load shapes were derived from either the Regional Technical Forum (RTF) or the Idaho Power Energy Efficiency Potential Study conducted by EnerNOC Utility Solutions Consulting Group (EnerNOC) in 2012. In 2013, EnerNOC provided Idaho Power updated end-use load shapes. Those updated load shapes have been applied to each program and measure when applicable. Applied Energy Group (AEG) acquired EnerNOC and refreshed the energy efficiency potential analysis in 2014 and 2016. Due to the timing of the 2016 potential study, Idaho Power used the load shape and other measure savings assumptions from the 2012 and 2014 potential studies for the 2016 cost-effectiveness analyses.
The RTF regularly reviews, evaluates, and recommends eligible energy efficiency measures and the estimated savings and costs associated with those measures. As the RTF updates these assumptions, Idaho Power applies them to current program offerings and assesses the need to make any program changes. Idaho Power staff participates in the RTF by attending monthly meetings and contributing to various sub-committees. Because cost data from the RTF information is in 2006 or 2012 dollars,
Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness Idaho Power Company
Page 4 Demand-Side Management 2016 Annual Report
measures with costs from the RTF are escalated to 2016 dollars. For workbooks still in 2006 dollars, the costs are escalated by 14.6 percent. For workbooks in 2012 dollars, the costs are escalated by 3.3 percent. This percentage is provided by the RTF in workbook RTFStandardInformationWorkbook_v2_6.xlsx.
Idaho Power uses a technical reference manual (TRM) developed by ADM Associates, Inc. for the Commercial and Industrial Energy Efficiency Program’s New Construction and Retrofit options. Idaho Power also relies on other sources, such as the Northwest Power and Conservation Council (NWPCC), Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA), the Database for Energy Efficiency Resources (DEER), the Energy Trust of Oregon (ETO), the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), third-party consultants, and other regional utilities. Occasionally, Idaho Power will also use internal engineering estimates and calculations for savings and costs based on information gathered from previous projects.
The company freezes savings assumptions when the budgets and goals are set for the next calendar year unless code and standard changes or program updates necessitate a need to use updated savings. As a general rule, the 2016 energy savings reported for most programs will use the assumption set at the beginning of the year. These assumptions are discussed in more detail in the cost-effectiveness sections for each program.
The remaining inputs used in the cost-effectiveness models are obtained from the IRP process. Since Idaho Power’s 2015 IRP was acknowledged by the IPUC and OPUC after the budgets and goals were set for 2016, the 2013 IRP remains the source of all the financial assumptions for the cost-effectiveness analysis. Appendix C—Technical Appendix of Idaho Power’s 2013 IRP contains the DSM alternative costs, discount rate, and escalation rate. These DSM alternative costs vary by season and time of day and are applied to an end-use load shape to obtain the value of that particular measure or program. The DSM alternative energy costs are based on both the projected fuel costs of a peaking unit and forward electricity prices as determined by Idaho Power’s power supply model, AURORAxmp® Electric Market Model. The avoided capital cost of capacity is based on a gas-fired, simple-cycle turbine. In the 2013 IRP, the annual avoided capacity cost is $102 per kilowatt (kW).
As part of the 2015 IRP Case IPC-E-15-19 and 2014 DSM prudence Case IPC-E-15-06, parties requested Idaho Power review how transmission and distribution (T&D) costs are treated in the IRP. Idaho Power committed to reviewing the T&D benefits, and the analysis was presented to EEAG in August 2016. The estimated average value of energy efficiency on T&D deferral is $3.76/kW per year or $0.000429/kilowatt-hour (kWh). In compliance with Order No. 33365, this value was added to the 2013 DSM alternative energy costs and included in the cost-effectiveness analysis for 2016.
As recommended by the NAPEE Understanding Cost-Effectiveness of Energy Efficiency Programs¸ Idaho Power’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 6.77 percent is used to discount future benefits and costs to today’s dollars. Once the DSM alternative costs and load shapes are applied to the annual kWh savings of a measure or program, the WACC is used to calculate the net present value (NPV) of the annual benefit for the UC and TRC B/C ratios. However, determining the appropriate discount rate for participant cost and benefits is difficult because of the variety of potential discount
Idaho Power Company Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness
Demand-Side Management 2016 Annual Report Page 5
rates that can be used by the different participants as described in the TAG. Since the participant benefit is based on the anticipated bill savings of the customer, Idaho Power believes the WACC is not an appropriate discount rate to use. Because the customer bill savings is based on Idaho Power’s 2016 average customer segment rate and is not escalated, the participant bill savings is discounted using a real discount rate of 3.66 percent, which is based on the 2013 IRP’s WACC of 6.77 percent and an escalation rate of 3 percent. The real discount rate is used to calculate the NPV of any participant benefits or costs for the PCT or ratepayer impact measure (RIM) B/C ratios.
The formula to calculate the real discount rate is as follows:
((1 + WACC) ÷ (1 + Escalation)) – 1 = Real
Line-loss percentages are applied to the metered-site energy savings to find the energy savings at the generation level. The Demand-Side Management 2016 Annual Report shows the estimated electrical savings at the customer meter level. Cost-effectiveness analyses are based on generation-level energy savings. The demand response program reductions are reported at the generation level with the line losses. In 2014, Idaho Power reviewed the system loss coefficients from 2012. Based on this study, the line-loss factors were updated and reduced from 10.9 to 9.6 percent. The summer peak line-loss factor was reduced from 13 to 9.7 percent.
Conservation AdderThe Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Northwest Power Act) states the following:
…any conservation or resource shall not be treated as greater than that of any non- conservation measure or resource unless the incremental system cost of such conservation or resource is in excess of 110 per centum of the incremental system cost of the nonconservation measure or resource.
As a result of the Northwest Power Act, most utilities in the Pacific Northwest add a 10-percent conservation adder in energy efficiency cost-effectiveness analyses. In OPUC Order No. 94-590, the OPUC states:
We support the staff’s position that the effect of conservation in reducing uncertainty in meeting load growth is included in the ten percent cost adder and that no separate adjustment is necessary.
Additionally, in IPUC Order No. 32788 in Case No. GNR-E-12-01, “Staff noted that Rocky Mountain Power and Avista use a 10% conservation adder when calculating the cost-effectiveness of all their DSM programs.” Staff recommended the utilities have the option to use a 10-percent adder, and the IPUC agreed with the recommendation to allow utilities to use the 10-percent adder in the cost-effectiveness analyses for low-income programs.
Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness Idaho Power Company
Page 6 Demand-Side Management 2016 Annual Report
After reviewing the practices of other utilities in the Pacific Northwest, as well as the OPUC Order No. 94-590 and IPUC Order 32788, Idaho Power began applying the 10-percent conservation adder in all energy efficiency measure and program cost-effectiveness analyses in 2014. However, upon further examination, Idaho Power observed that both Avista and Rocky Mountain Power only apply the 10-percent conservation adder when calculating the TRC test. Previously, Idaho Power had applied the adder to the TRC test and the UC and RIM tests. The conservation adder has now been removed from the UC and RIM tests in the program and measure cost-effectiveness calculations for 2016.
Net-to-GrossNet-to-gross (NTG), or net-of-free-ridership (NTFR), is defined by NAPEE’s Understanding Cost Effectiveness of Energy Efficiency Programs: Best Practices, Technical Methods, and Emerging Issues for Policy-Makers as a ratio that does as follows:
Adjusts the impacts of the programs so that they only reflect those energy efficiency gains that are the result of the energy efficiency program. Therefore, the NTG deducts energy savings that would have been achieved without the efficiency program (e.g., ‘free-riders’) and increases savings for any ‘spillover’ effect that occurs as an indirect result of the program. Since the NTG attempts to measure what the customers would have done in the absence of the energy efficiency program, it can be difficult to determine precisely.
Capturing the effects of Idaho Power’s energy efficiency efforts on free-ridership and spillover is difficult. Due to the uncertainty surrounding NTG percentages, Idaho Power used an NTG of 100 percent for all measure cost-effectiveness analyses. For the program cost-effectiveness analyses, the B/C ratios shown are based on a 100-percent NTG. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to show what the minimum NTG percentage needs to be for the program to remain (or become) cost-effective from either the TRC or UC perspective. These NTG percentages are shown in the program cost-effectiveness pages of Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness.
ResultsIdaho Power determines cost-effectiveness on a measure basis, where relevant, and program basis. As part of Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness and where applicable, Idaho Power publishes the cost effectiveness by measure, calculating the PCT and RIM test at the program level, listing the assumptions associated with cost-effectiveness, and citing sources and dates of metrics used in the cost-effectiveness calculation.
The B/C ratio from the participant cost perspective is not calculated for the Easy Savings, Educational Distributions, Energy House Calls, Fridge and Freezer Recycling Program, Multifamily Energy Savings Program, Weatherization Assistance for Qualified Customers (WAQC), and Weatherization Solutions for Eligible Customers programs. These programs have few or no customer costs. For energy efficiency programs, the cost-effectiveness models do not assume ongoing participant costs.
Idaho Power Company Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness
Demand-Side Management 2016 Annual Report Page 7
For most programs, the Demand-Side Management 2016 Annual Report Appendix 4 contains program UC and TRC B/C ratios using actual cost information over the life of the program through 2016. Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness contains annual cost-effectiveness metrics for each program using actual information from 2016 and includes results of the PCT. Current customer energy rates are used in the calculation of the B/C ratios from a PCT and RIM perspective. Rate increases are not forecasted or escalated. A summary of the cost-effectiveness by program can be found in Table 3.
In 2016, most of Idaho Power’s energy efficiency programs were cost-effective, except the Fridge and Freezer Recycling Program, Home Improvement Program, and the weatherization programs for income-qualified customers.
The Fridge and Freezer Recycling Program has a UC of 0.92 and a TRC of 1.31. In November 2015, the program vendor, JACO, entered receivership and ceased operations. Idaho Power then contracted with Appliance Recycling Center of America (ARCA) and re-launched the program in June 2016. Due to the mid-year launch, the company had forecasted that participation would be at 1,000 units, and the program would likely not be cost-effective from the UC perspective but would be cost-effective from the TRC perspective. This was discussed with EEAG in February 2016. When considering individual measures within the program, both freezers and refrigerators fail the UC test with a ratio of 0.79 and 0.91, respectively. Both freezers and refrigerators pass the TRC. However, by allowing the less cost-effective freezers into the program, it increases overall participation and increases the program cost-effectiveness by spreading a portion of the fixed administrative costs across more units. When Idaho Power filed for the program to be reinstated in Oregon, the company requested a cost-effectiveness exception as outlined in OPUC Order No. 94-590. The exception was approved by the OPUC in Advice No. 16-07. Despite the temporary suspension of the program, 1,539 units were recycled in 2016.
The Home Improvement Program has a UC of 2.54, a TRC of 0.60, and a PCT of 0.80. The RTF reduced savings for single-family home weatherization projects in 2015. With the changes, average savings estimates per project for both 2015 and 2016 were just under 50 percent of 2014 projects. These new savings were a result of the nearly 18-month RTF process to calibrate residential savings models. Additionally, in early 2016, the RTF finished calibrating the savings models for multifamily home weatherization projects. These new savings were approved by the RTF in March 2016 and will be applied in 2017. These updated savings, as well as the DSM avoided costs from the 2015 IRP, further reduce the TRC and PCT of the program. Idaho Power analyzed ways to modify the program to improve the cost-effectiveness, but the company concluded the program would remain not cost-effective. At the August EEAG meeting, the company presented the preliminary cost-effectiveness estimates for 2017 and shared that the Home Improvement Program would likely be cost-effective from the UCT perspective but not from the TRC perspective. The company presented the non-cost-effective aspects of the program at the November EEAG meeting. EEAG was shown the results of the company’s analysis that the program would again not be cost-effective in 2016, and Idaho Power advised EEAG of the company’s plan to end the program.
WAQC had a TRC of 0.65 and a UC ratio of 0.73, and Weatherization Solutions for Eligible Customers had a TRC of 0.70 and a UC ratio of 0.59. The programs showed increased savings and increased cost-effectiveness ratios over 2015. Idaho Power performed a billing analysis of the 2013 to 2014
Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness Idaho Power Company
Page 8 Demand-Side Management 2016 Annual Report
weatherization projects from both WAQC and Weatherization Solutions for Eligible Customers. The billing analysis was needed to reflect the increased replacement of forced-air electric resistance heat systems with efficient heat pump systems. Idaho Power adopted the following IPUC staff’s recommendations from Case No. GNR E-12-01 for calculating the programs’ cost-effectiveness:
• Applied a 100-percent NTG.
• Claimed 100 percent of energy savings for each project.
• Included indirect administrative overhead costs. The overhead costs of 5.294 percent were calculated from the $2,263,893 of indirect program expenses divided by the total DSM expenses of $42,763,464 as shown in Appendix 3 of the Demand-Side Management 2016 Annual Report.
• Applied the 10 percent conservation preference adder.
• Amortized evaluation expenses over a three-year period.
• Claimed one dollar of NEBs for each dollar of utility and federal funds invested in health, safety, and repair measures.
Eleven individual measures in various programs are shown to not be cost-effective from either the UC or TRC perspective. These measures will be discontinued, analyzed for additional NEBs, modified to increase potential per-unit savings, or monitored to examine their impact on the specific program’s overall cost-effectiveness. For several measures, Idaho Power filed cost-effectiveness exception requests with the OPUC in compliance with Order No. 94-590. Measures and programs that do not pass these tests may be offered by the utility if they meet one or more of the additional conditions specified by Section 13 of Order No. 94-590. These exception requests were approved under Order No. 15-200 on June 23, 2015, or with the specific program advice filings. The filings and exception requests are noted in Table 1.
