Reporting and Evaluating DSM Performance

Staff Workshop – April 28, 2011

Purpose of Goals and Programs

Economically defer power plant construction Conserve expensive resources (fuel savings) Encourage development of demand-side

renewables (solar pv, solar thermal)

Potential Consequences of Not Meeting Goals (to Ratepayers)

Increased costs – plant and fuel Increased environmental emissions Local economic impacts (jobs)

Historic Reporting Methods

FEECA Statutes (Sections 366.80 – 85 and Section 403.519, F.S.)

2012 FEECA ReportDraft to Internal Affairs early 2012 - will include:

1) MW, MWh Savings compared to goalsResidential, C/I, and combinedAnnual and Cumulative

2) Utility justification for goal variances3) Solar Pilot Programs (MW, MWh, number of

installations, etc.)4) Ratepayer impact of utility performance (goal

achievement or failure)

2012 FEECA ReportDraft Report will also contain recommendations

for next steps. Options include: Accept filings and justifications – no further

action Program revisions or additions – docketed

proceeding for affected utility Reward/penalty – docketed proceeding for

affected utility Other?

Options Going ForwardHow should 2010 DSM achievements be reported and evaluated for purposes of the 2012 FEECA Report?

1. Is it more appropriate to measure 2010 DSM achievements against the goals established in 2004 or 2009?

2. What is the appropriate date range to use for judging utility performance: annual, or a band of 3 to 6 years?

3. How should achievements be measured: against annual goals, cumulative goals or both?

4. How should savings for Residential and C/I customer classes be evaluated: separately, combined, or both?

5. What type of information should be provided for solar pilot projects? (i.e., number of installations, savings per installation, amount of expenditures, problems encountered and lessons learned.)

6. What additional information should be provided to assist staff in evaluating utilities’ 2010 performance?

Next Steps

Post Workshop Comments – within a week. Staff intends to issue data requests within the

next few weeks.
