This proceeding addresses the implementation of energy efficiency “Rolling Portfolios,” and other policy issues related to energy efficiency.
The key objectives for this Rulemaking are:
- greater funding stability for energy efficiency administrators and implementers;
- reduced transaction costs for program implementation;
- coordination with demand forecast, procurement planning and transmission planning process;
- coordination with the Energy Savings Performance Incentive (ESPI) adopted in D.13-09-023;
- coordination with other existing Demand Side programs (i.e., Demand Response and Distributed Generation);
- addressing any safety concerns and obtaining any safety benefits associated with energy efficiency programs;
- transparent and timely ex ante forecasts of program savings and use of those forecasts to optimize energy efficiency portfolios; and
- regulatory workload refocused onto key issues on an ongoing basis rather than a “soup-to-nuts” portfolio review every three years.
The Commission is currently considering Program Administrators' 2024 Energy Efficiency Strategi Business Plans and 2024-2027 Porfolio Plans in the consolidated proceeding: A. 22-02-005
