EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
California's publicly owned utilities (POUs) have collaborated since 2006 on developing energy
efficiency programs and reporting annual results to their customers and the California Energy
Commission (CEC) in a consistent and comprehensive manner. This thirteenth report presents the
latest results from POUs' wide range of energy efficiency programs.
During the Fiscal Year 2018 reporting cycle, POUs expended $219 million on energy efficiency
programs, resulting in 639 GWh of net annual energy savings and reducing peak demand by
nearly 129 MW. Since the enactment of Senate Bill 1037 (Kehoe, 2005), public power has spent
more than $1.8 billion on energy efficiency, achieving over 81,849 GWh in net lifecycle energy
savings.

In coordination with CEC staff over the last year, POUs have developed a new cost-effectiveness
tool and reporting platform (CET/RP) to improve the tracking and evaluation of energy efficiency
programs. Details on the new CET/RP are presented in the section on Resources & Tools, including
a review of the many enhancements that were created to evaluate POUs' energy efficiency
programs.
Moving forward, public power's ability to work together and creatively solve problems will be
key to the success of California's aggressive initiatives to cost-effectively reduce both energy use
and greenhouse gas emissions. The successes of the past provide an excellent foundation on which
public power will continue to build upon.

INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to section 9505 of the Public Utilities Code,each year POUs are required to report the
following information to customers and the California Energy Commission 1:
1. Investments in energy efficiency and demand reduction programs.
2. Descriptions of each energy efficiency and demand reduction program, program
expenditures, cost-effectiveness of each program, and expected and actual energy
efficiency savings and demand reduction results.
3. Sources for funding of energy efficiency and demand reduction programs.
4. Methodologies and input assumptions used to determine cost-effectiveness of programs.
5. A comparison of the POUs' annual energy efficiency targets and the POUs' reported
electricity efficiency savings and demand reductions.
This collaborative report compiles the required data from the individual POUs into a single,
comprehensive document in compliance with section 9505.
The state's POUs supply more than one-quarter of California's electricity, to a broad range of
communities with widely differing climates, customer bases, and economic conditions. This
compilation is presented to foster analyses of broader energy efficiency trends and offer
policymakers data-driven considerations regarding the practical impacts of related policies.
The POUs have long supported California's energy efficiency policies and administered programs
to provide financial incentives and rebates to POU customers for investments in a variety of
energy saving measures. The purpose of this report is not only to look back on the success of the
past year, but also to look ahead and inform discussions on how to achieve additional energy
savings in the future.
" As California contemplates how best to meet
our goals for deep carbon emissions reductions
- roughly 85 percent reduction from today ' s
levels by 2050 - it is clear that energy efficiency
is central to whatever path we take . "

PROGRAM RESULTS
This section provides an overview of the energy efficiency program results for public power in
California during Fiscal Year (FY) 2018. Most POUs manage and implement energy efficiency
programs on a fiscal year basis; for POUs that operate on a calendar year basis,their respective
report results for FY 2018 are equal to that of Calendar Year 2018.2
Appendix A contains additional information on each POU's portfolio, including program
descriptions, expenditures, and energy savings.
In summary, during the 2018 reporting cycle, POUs collectively spent $218.7 million on energy
efficiency programs, resulting in over 639 GWh of net annual energy savings, with 8,267 GWh of
net lifecycle energy savings and reduced peak demand by 129 MW. Table 1 presents a
comparison of POUs' energy efficiency historic program results.

As presented in Table 2, below, POUs' cumulative first year savings from FY 2015 through FY
2018 equals 2,429 GWh. These cumulative savings are approximately 69 GWh above the
target cumulative goals for CA POUs, as presented in Table Al 1 of the California Energy
Commission's Senate Bill 350: Doubling Energy Efficiency Savings by 2030 Report.3 The Policy
Consideration section discusses in further detail the importance of POUs' efforts to help meet the
State's doubling of energy efficiency goals.

Table 3 below provides a comprehensive summary of the energy efficiency savings for all POUs'
respective energy efficiency Portfolios in FY2018. In terms of raw savings, the 16 largest utilities
subject to Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) requirements account for the vast majority of savings
within the public power community.4 As in past years, the two largest POUs, Los Angeles
Department of Water & Power (LADWP) and Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD),
accounted for roughly two-thirds of total POU savings during the 2018 reporting cycle. Taken as
a group, the 16 IRP POUs produced 97% of the total savings. The remainder of the savings
were realized by 32 smaller and mid-sized utilities located throughout California.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
This section provides an overview of the policy considerations surrounding the development,
implementation, and successes of public power's energy efficiency programs.
California is a leader in advancing energy efficiency policies and technologies, and the state's
work in this area has had a well-documented dramatic impact on electricity demand. Since the
establishment of the Title 24 building standards in 1978,energy efficiency programs have saved
California consumers in excess of $100 billion.? POU communities have played a key role in
supporting the state's accomplishments and look forward to a continuing partnership with all
stakeholders, as the state pursues its clean energy agenda.
Energy Efficiency and Carbon Reduction
While energy efficiency remains the first resource in the state's loading order, its importance as a
resource is further enhanced by its role in reducing carbon emissions. Energy use in residential
and commercial existing buildings collectively accounts for nearly one quarter of statewide
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which includes both electricity consumption and fossil fuel
consumed on-site.8 A clear focus on programs that reduce energy consumption in existing
buildings and new construction will be critical in meeting our collective carbon reduction goals.

The Value of the Energy Efficiency Doubling Goal
As part of the State's carbon reduction goals, California enacted Senate Bill 350 (De Leon,
2015), directing the Energy Commission to establish statewide targets for the cumulative doubling
of energy efficiency by 2030. These targets take into consideration increases in energy efficiency
savings from utility programs,codes & standards, financing, behavioral programs, market
transformation, and improvements in the agriculture & industry sectors. In establishing a statewide
target, SB 350 directed the Energy Commission to rely on both the forecast for additional
achievable energy efficiency in the California Energy Demand Updated Forecast, 2014-2025, and
the POUs' latest annual energy efficiency targets, adopted in 2017.9
The POUs' targets include an assessment of all potentially achievable cost-effective electricity
efficiency savings from POU customers and were used by the CEC to forecast the cumulative
energy savings potential from POUs' energy efficiency programs.10 The Energy Commission
incorporated the POUs' adopted annual energy efficiency targets into the statewide cumulative
target by combining the POUs' annual targets for 2015-2030 and used that as the combined
"cumulative savings" target for POUs, as shown below in Figure 2.

POU cumulative savings through 2018 were calculated using this same methodology, as
presented in Table 2, above, which shows that to date POUs have exceeded the State's forecast
for their collective, cumulative energy efficiency savings in 2018 by more than 69 GWh.
POUs will continue to work together to determine how best to
calculate the cost effectiveness of energy efficiency portfolios

dependent on the actions of the customer.
To that end, there is a concern that the methodology used by the CEC to forecast POU
contributions towards the State's energy efficiency doubling goals may not properly recognize
cumulative savings, nor give sufficient attribution to utilities' energy efficiency
programs. Specifically, using only the first-year savings from energy efficiency programs to
calculate cumulative savings will exclude any of the long-term savings from measures and
programs that last more than one year, and there are many measures that provide persistent
savings over several years.
There is strong analytical support, and real-world experience,that confirm energy usage
behaviors and practices do change for energy efficiency program participants. For example, a
consumer who installs a high efficiency measure, such as an LED lamp, is highly unlikely to go back
to an older, less efficient product like a compact fluorescent lamp once the bulb no longer
works. Similarly, utilities that implement behavioral programs to increase conservation and
efficiency improvements by customers are seeing their customers maintain their practices of
increased conservation and efficiency,even after the behavioral program is ended. Recognizing
that these paradigm changes are real,the lifetime cumulative savings from energy efficiency
programs currently utilized by the CEC in their analyses could, without modification, be
significantly understated. POUs are interested in utilizing algorithms and persistence factors that
better reflect the actual cumulative savings that the utility energy efficiency programs have
achieved and will continue to provide.
Further consideration of this methodology could fit well with upcoming efforts that POUs will soon
undertake as they update their annual and cumulative 10-year energy efficiency targets in 2021,
as required by Public Utilities Code section 9505 (b).

The Challenges of Attribution
As noted above,the Senate Bill 350: Doubling Energy Efficiency Savings by 2030 report
recognizes the key areas where future energy efficiency savings are likely to come from,
including energy efficiency savings from utility programs, codes & standards,financing,
behavioral programs, market transformation, and improvements in the agriculture & industry
sectors. All of these programs are expected to continue generating considerable energy savings
for consumers, but the traditional methodology for attributing savings to utilities may need to be
revisited - despite energy efficiency program savings continuing to increase, utilities have
received less attribution for these increases.
While energy efficiency improvements are seen as one of, if not, the most cost-effective ways to
reduce energy consumption–and GHG emissions– POUs' energy efficiency savings are likely to
decrease over time due to future codes and standards. As building codes continue to become
increasingly more stringent, including the move towards net-zero (or near-net-zero) buildings,
utilities cannot claim savings from any energy efficiency improvements incorporated into building
codes.
Regardless of how energy efficiency attribution is addressed, it is important for policymakers,
utilities, environmental groups, and energy efficiency advocates to work together to introduce
new strategies for reductions in energy use that go above and beyond codes & standards–but
remain cost-effective for the utilities and their customers. POU programs have to continuously
evolve in order to find new technologies, incent customers to re-engage in new programs, and
convince new customers to participate in efficiency improvement programs.
Embracing Opportunities to Use Energy More Efficiently

well as the carbon content of the additional electricity needed

POUs continue to evaluate how best to calculate the benefits of various energy efficiency and
demand reduction measures to meet both state and local goals of reducing GHG emissions. To
that end, the POUs' CET/RP was developed to model the impacts of energy efficiency programs
on electric utility operations on an hourly basis, including GHG reductions. In addition, utilities are
continuing to expand their resource planning platforms and analytical tools to optimize utility
operations.
Building electrification and decarbonization measures can deliver both energy savings and GHG
emissions reductions, but will also require a shift in many paradigms, strategies, and operational
practices–for utilities, policymakers, and other stakeholder groups. For example, as the grid
integrates higher percentages of renewables,the hours of energy use (or savings) will be a
critical consideration when developing energy efficiency programs. The abundance of solar
electricity in the California market from about 9am to 3pm has resulted in a situation where
incremental energy supply is effectively carbon-free and has a zero or even negative avoided
cost during these peak solar hours. Peak load reduction measures and load shifting measures
have both become very important considerations, particularly in climate zones with significant
ramping needs.
A growing number of stakeholders are working together on building electrification and
decarbonization solutions towards a cleaner California. The Building Decarbonization Coalition
released A Roadmap to Decarbonize California Buildings, identifying barriers and strategies for
the decarbonization of new and existing buildings.11 Recently, a partnership of LADWP, SMUD,
and Southern California Edison commissioned a study to assess the energy savings, GHG savings,
and the overall economics of electrifications for customers in California." This E3 study found that
all-electric new construction could result in savings of $130-$540 per year relative to a gas-
fueled home, over the life of the equipment. In addition, there are potential savings to
developers, who do not have to lay gas lines if constructing all-electric buildings.
However, the path to unlocking the benefits of building electrification must include a
reconsideration of the barriers in the existing regulatory environment. For example,the Time
Dependent Valuation (TDV) methodology used in Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards
does not fully account for the cost of carbon,thereby advantaging natural gas over electric end-
uses. Additionally,the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) established the three-prong
fuel substitution test in the 1990s and continues to use it today, which has historically deterred
electrification in existing buildings. To date, only one fuel substitution measure has passed the
three-prong test–and it was to switch from electricity to natural gas.

Fortunately, the Energy Commission is working in concert with the California Air Resources Board
(CARB), CPUC, utilities, and other stakeholders in a combined effort to "decarbonize buildings".
This joint agency proceeding, in which the POUs are participating, has begun to reevaluate the
existing methodologies that the regulatory agencies have used historically to assess the cost-
effectiveness of fuel substitution, particularly related to space- and water-heating. Public power
supports the state's efforts to develop a comprehensive framework to implement fuel substitution
programs that maximize energy savings and GHG emission reductions.
Furthermore, fuel substitution in buildings is only part of the picture for electrification–changing
from gasoline or diesel to electricity in the transportation sector is defined as "fuel switching" and
is not captured in fuel substitution policies. Building electrification can complement related efforts
to electrify the transportation sector, as both are essential to the meeting the State's GHG
emission reduction goals. However, electrification of buildings and transportation can also
complicate the ability to track success with California's goal to reduce energy use, as load
continues to increase due to electric vehicle adoption. Therefore, because of the increasing calls
for accelerating electrification programs, further clarification is needed regarding GHG
accounting for utilities that incur increased retail sales—and potentially increased electric sector
GHG emissions—while decreasing overall GHG emissions in other sectors.
As energy efficiency policies, markets, and technologies evolve, POUs will continue to develop
innovative programs tailored to the changing needs of their respective communities; the POUs
look forward to working with the Commission to frame effective policies to that end.

RESOURCES & TOOLS
This section provides an overview of the technical resources, analytical tools, methodologies, and
input assumptions used or developed by public power to evaluate its energy efficiency program
and develop energy efficiency targets, in accordance with Public Utilities Code section 9505
(a)(4).
Energy Efficiency Cost-Effectiveness Tool and Reporting Platform
Energy Platforms, LLC developed a cloud-based energy efficiency cost-effectiveness tool and
reporting platform (CET/RP) to improve POUs' tracking and evaluation of program performance
and to support the development of reports in compliance with state and federal reporting
requirements. This tool built upon the functionality of the complex spreadsheets used in prior
reporting years to calculate the cost-effectiveness of energy efficiency and demand reduction
measures and programs, and to summarize and report the related program expenditures and
energy savings. The model continues to include all of the traditional benefit-cost ratio calculation
methodologies used industry-wide to evaluate energy efficiency resource programs: Total
Resource Cost (TRC), Program Administrator Cost (PAC), Ratepayer Impact (RIM), and Participant
Cost Test (PCT), as developed by the California Public Utilities Commission in the 1980s and
codified in the California Standard Practice Manual.
Using this new tool, POUs can analyze individual efficiency measures or full programs to
determine the potential savings and cost-effectiveness before implementation. POUs are able to
create unique programs and measures for their utility -- and may choose to share them with other
POUs collaboratively. The model also allows each POU to be able to specify many key inputs,
including but not limited to:
• retail rates,
• hourly load shapes,
• hourly GHG emissions curves,
• hourly avoided cost, and
• overhead allocations by measure, programs, portfolio, sector and/or end-use.
The new tool will allow POUs to manage reference libraries of measures, avoided costs, load
shapes, and GHG emissions, allowing useful tracking and comparative scenario analyses for
integrated planning purposes.
Appendix B presents a comprehensive outline of the calculations used within the CET/RP.

Technical Reference Manual
Recognizing that the Database for Energy Efficient Resources (DEER) was not a viable resource for
public power to continue to use, POUs contracted for the development of a technical reference
manual (TRM) modeled after the Northwest Regional Technical Forum resource in 2013. Public
power retained Energy & Resource Solutions (ERS) to develop the TRM to be used by utilities
across the state's different building climate zones. ERS completed the TRM in 2014 and
performed updates in 2016 and 2017. The TRM has replaced DEER as the basis for which most
POUs calculate the energy savings of their programs. Deviations from the TRM for individual
utilities are noted in Appendix A.
The TRM provides the methods,formulas, and default assumptions used for estimating energy
savings and peak demand impacts from energy efficiency measures and projects in a very clear
and open format. POUs use the energy savings estimates to report program accomplishments
and measure progress towards program goals. Energy efficiency measures are documented and
classified as either unit energy savings (UES) measures, semi-custom measures, or custom measures.
The TRM includes both nonresidential and residential measures, and presents each measure type
in separate sections, grouped by technology type.
The TRM includes the main manual as well as supporting spreadsheets. The TRM also includes
spreadsheets that provide detailed and transparent measure calculations and, for semi-custom
measures, energy savings calculators for estimating energy savings for project-specific measures.
As needed, each section also contains supplementary tables and charts to provide additional
measure details. Measures with multiple savings values (savings by size, building use, varying
levels of efficiency, etc.) will have both savings and cost data listed in a supplementary table.
The last section of the TRM provides the custom measure protocol, which outlines a process for
estimating and documenting custom measure savings.
The TRM includes energy savings calculators, which are Excel spreadsheet-based engineering
models for estimating semi-custom measures per the described methodology. They provide a
consistent,transparent, and user-friendly approach for estimating project-specific energy savings.
The TRM provides a much higher degree of transparency for public power, policymakers, and
interested stakeholders regarding the energy savings estimates underpinning public power's
energy efficiency programs.

reference-manual
Public power is actively involved in the efforts of the California Technical Forum (CaITF) to create
a statewide electronic TRM, or eTRM. NCPA, SCPPA, SMUD, and LADWP sit on the CaITF Policy
Advisory Committee, which consists of statewide energy efficiency stakeholders who advise on the
organization's vision, mission, guiding principles, and affirm the annual Work Plan. In addition,
POU staff also support CaITF by serving as members of the Technical Forum, which is the body of
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 17
UB-68
independent subject matter experts that peer review methodologies, data, assumptions, and
energy savings values.
One of CalTF's primary objectives is to implement a best-in-class eTRM as a successor to DEER.
The first iteration of the eTRM focuses on measures with deemed savings,or unit energy savings.
POUs will rely on the TRM for semi-custom and custom measures, and will integrate the CaITF
eTRM into program planning as it becomes available.
For more information on the CaITF,visit: http://www.caltf.org/
Evaluation, Measurement & Verification
Public Utilities Code section 9505 (d) requires each POU to make available to its customers and
to the Energy Commission the results of any independent evaluation that measures and verifies the
energy efficiency savings and the reduction in energy demand achieved by its energy efficiency.
The Evaluation,Measurement&Verification (EM&V) process used to provide POU program
managers with feedback relies on the approaches articulated in the National Action Plan for
Energy Efficiency, adopted CPUC protocols, and the innovation and expertise of firms
experienced in program evaluation. In addition, public power worked with the Energy
Commission to develop a consistent set of EM&V guidelines for third-party consultants retained to
evaluate utility programs.
EM&V reports help to define the effectiveness of individual programs with the intent of improving
future offerings. Key findings from the EM&V reports confirm high realization rates for reported
energy savings. This indicates that this annual report provides a reliable source of data to help
policymakers gauge the progress of the state's overall energy efficiency efforts.

SOURCES OF FUNDING
This section provides an overview of the POUs' sources of funding for its investments in energy
efficiency and demand reduction programs, as required by Public Utilities Code section 9505
(a)(3). The POUs collectively spent $195.4 million in FY18, from a combination of Public Goods
Charge funds, Cap-and-Trade allowances, and General Fund monies.
Public Goods Charge
The Public Goods Charge (PGC) is a "non-bypassable", usage-based, charge on local distribution
services,collected by POUs, in accordance with Public Utilities Code section 385. PGC funds are
used by essentially all POUs to fund energy efficiency and demand reduction programs. The PGC
is available to fund investments in the following:
1. Cost-effective demand-side management services to promote energy efficiency and
energy conservation;
2. New investment in renewable energy resources and technologies;
3. Research, development, and demonstration programs for the public interest to advance
science or technology not adequately provided by competitive and regulated markets;
4. Services provided for low-income electricity customers.
Cap and Trade Allowances
The California Cap-and-Trade program allows utilities to use proceeds from the sale of freely
allocated allowances to invest in energy efficiency programs, with the intended purpose of
reducing GHG emissions. Expenditures explicitly noted as acceptable include but are not limited
to equipment rebates and building retrofits.
Funds are generated once a quarter, as part of CARB's regular Cap-and-Trade auctions, but the
level of available revenues are expected to increase over time as minimum auction prices have
escalation factors that are applied once a year.13
General Fund
POUs also support energy efficiency improvements and social good in the communities that they
serve by using funds from their general operating reserves through programs such as home
improvement and retrofit projects, appliance recycling and replacement programs, disconnection
assistance programs for disadvantaged communities, and income-qualified bill assistance
discounts.

Alameda Overview
• Due to Alameda's temperate climate and small amount of industry, the peak
demand for electricity is in the winter (December and January) in the early
evening. Alameda Municipal Power's (AMP) electric load is relatively flat
compared to most California utilities and there is no residential air
conditioning.
• AMP has committed to spending all of its cap-and-trade and renewable
energy credit (REC) funds to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its service
area.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
FY 2018 savings included the continuation a very successful non-residential direct-
install program and a residential online rebate portal. The only material change
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-2
UB-72
was an increase to the rebated amount for non-residential self-install lighting
projects, from 0.10/kWh to 0.23/kWh.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
AMP's non-residential direct-install program, Energy Plus, provided more than 81
percent of total savings. The program, which provides both lighting and
refrigeration upgrades, is particularly attractive to small businesses that are eager
to benefit from the energy savings, but do not have in-house expertise in energy-
saving technologies and installations. The Energy Plus rebates can cover up to 90
percent of the upgrade cost for small businesses and 80 percent for all other non-
residential customers.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
Energy Plus Program: The Energy Plus Program, which started in January 2016, is
a non-residential direct-install lighting, refrigeration, heating,ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) program. In FY 2018, 36 customers participated in lighting
and refrigeration upgrades with low co-pay amounts, due to AMP's rebates. This
program will remain open until January 31, 2020.
Non-residential Self-install Program: This program, like Energy Plus, offers non-
residential customers rebates for energy efficiency upgrades such as lighting,
HVAC and refrigeration. While there were few participants in this program, AMP
maintains this program as a means of offering customers a do-it-yourself option
for energy efficiency upgrades. This is a common pathway for chain retailers who
are trying to manage incentivized upgrades across various locations. This program
will remain open in FY 2019.
Residential Programs
Residential Online Rebates– Lighting and Appliances: Alamedans have been able
to participate in residential energy efficiency rebates using a simple web
application since March 2016. In FY 2018 the tool received nearly 300
applications. Rebates were available for LED bulbs, LED fixtures, LED decorative
string lights, electric clothes dryers, washing machines, heat pump water heaters,
refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator/freezer recycling. This program will
remain open in FY 2019.
Complementary Programs
• Electric Vehicle Programs: AMP offers two incentive programs to encourage EV
adoption. The first is in the form of a rate discount, which the utility has offered
since 1998. In FY 2018, 187 customers signed up for the discount, bringing the
total number of program participants to 538. On February 1, 2018, AMP
launched its second incentive program in the form of rebates for purchasing
level 2 chargers for homes and workplaces. The residential charger rebate is
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-3
UB-73
$500 and the workplace charger rebate is $3,000. By the end of FY 2018,
81 residential customers and three workplaces had installed chargers.
• Low-Income Programs: AMP continues to provide financial assistance to
Alameda's low-income families through the EASE (Energy Assistance through
Supportive Efforts) and EAP (Energy Assistance Program) programs. For FY
2018, EASE, an emergency relief program, helped 59 households receive a
total of $6,574 in electric bill assistance. A maximum amount of $200 is
available per household within a three-year period through the EASE program.
The EAP provides a 25 percent monthly discount on the electric bill. A total of
$95,484 was allocated to 667 Alameda households in FY 2018. These
programs are funded through the public purpose component of AMP's energy
charge.
• Renewable Energy Programs: Alameda Green,AMP's voluntary green power
program, provides customers with the option to choose 100% renewable
energy at an additional cost of $0.020/kWh. As of the end of FY 2018, there
were 3,744 customers enrolled in Alameda Green. AMP staff encouraged
enrollment through Alameda Green mentions in AMP's customer newsletter, bill
inserts, social media, an outreach program, and a contest among customer
service representatives. In June 2018, AMP earned two national rankings for
green utility programs from the U.S. Department of Energy's National
Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). AMP's "Alameda Green" program
made NREL's "Top 10" lists for its high participation rate and green power
sales rate in 2017.
• Research, Development, and Demonstration: There was no AMP activity in
research, development, and demonstration in FY 2018.
• Energy Storage: AMP does not have any onsite storage and an evaluation of
energy storage was done again in 2017 as required by California AB 2514.
The evaluation concluded that while some costs of energy storage system have
decreased, energy storage for the utility was not cost-effective at this time.
However, AMP continues to evaluate the potential for this technology. In FY
2018 AMP implemented an interconnection agreement for behind-the-meter
storage for customers in September 2018. Also, in FY 2018, AMP partnered
with Amber Kinetics, an energy storage company based in Union City,
California,to install two 8 kW/32kWh flywheel energy storage systems within
AMP's service territory to test their capability and operation.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
AMP completes an EM&V study every other year with a focus on the two previous
years. The most recent EM&V report, by Energy & Resource Solutions is available
here. The next report will cover the residential programs for FY 2018 and FY
2019 with a projected $45,000 budget.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-4
UB-74
Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Energy Savings
With a goal of getting the most accurate energy savings,AMP staff used a variety
of sources. For the residential lighting energy savings, AMP used historical AMP
customer program data, buoyed by a high realization rate in the FY 2015 EM&V
report. The energy savings figures for the residential refrigerator/freezer, LED
string lights, and washing machines were from the "Technical Resource Manual"
(TRM 2017) for the CA Municipal Utility Association. The electric clothes dryer
savings were from an Energy Star report.
Energy savings for non-residential programs were calculated using a hybrid of
actual pre- and post-installation inspections and the TRM 2017. Streetlights and
customized lighting projects were fully calculated. Savings from the direct-install
program, Energy Plus, used a combination of the TRM 2017 and full pre- and
post-calculations.

Anaheim Overview
The City of Anaheim in climate zone 8 is Orange County's second largest city and
the 10th largest in the state with 122,265 electric customers and 63,694 water
customers. Additionally, the City houses the only not-for-profit, municipally owned
utility in the county. Anaheim Public Utilities (APU) consistently provides electricity
and water to a community of 358,000 residents,over 20,000 businesses, and
more than 25 million annual visitors over an area that covers more than 50 square
miles. For over 120 years,APU has provided its customers with reliable electric
services at affordable rates. Over the years,APU has reached out to its customers
to develop programs and services that best meet the community's needs.
APU has engaged local school districts to install utility owned community solar
projects on school properties to provide the residents of Anaheim with clean
energy. Currently, nine schools have committed to participation in the Solar for
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-7
UB-77
Schools Program and construction was recently completed in FY17/18. The
benefits include financial incentives for participating school districts, hands on
educational opportunities for students, and a discount to income-qualified residents
offset by the community solar installed at the schools.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
APU continues to enhance and expand its already extensive array of energy
efficiency program offerings for its customers. APU has continued to enhance its
energy efficiency program portfolio in FY17/18 by taking advantage of the
successful partnership with the Southern California Gas Company with doubled
funds beginning in FY17/18, offering additional measures and increasing the
customer eligibility for the income qualified direct installation program. Income
qualified customers receive the value of a one stop approach that provides
electric, gas and water savings through a host of resource efficiency measures,
equipment and appliances.
In FY17/18, APU began sending welcome kits to new customers with four LED light
bulbs and a guide to city services. The LED bulbs help new customers become more
energy efficient upon arrival to the city.
APU continues to enhance programs by combining and streamlining programs that
can benefit from single applications or one-stop-shop access.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
APU's Lighting Incentive Program achieved over 8.8 million kWh savings in
FY17/18 with continued increases in participation by Anaheim's commercial and
industrial customers. Participation in the program continues to grow year after
year as rapid development of LED technology has led to improved products, lower
prices and better utility incentives. Businesses are realizing the benefits of LED
lighting technology with increased energy savings and reduced maintenance costs.
APU's Customized Energy Incentives Program provides customers the flexibility to
target their greatest energy using equipment on site with incentives designed to
specifically meet their needs. By documenting energy use before and after
equipment upgrades at their facilities, APU customers can replace the greatest
energy end users at their businesses through performance-based incentives. This
can be a great alternative to selecting a one size fits all prescriptive menu of
measures with pre-established incentives. Customers who need assistance in
identifying their business's largest users can also reach out to APU for a
comprehensive audit or design review. Commercial customers who participated in
the Customized Energy Efficiency Incentives Program saved 1.78 million kWh in
energy savings through process efficiency improvements this fiscal year.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-8
UB-78
In the partnership with the Southern California Gas Company, both utilities
benefitted from the jointly delivered programs and services to their mutual
customers. The working relationship between the two utilities streamlined
implementation, facilitated the use of common contractors to implement electricity,
water and natural gas efficiency measures, and allowed the utilities to cross-
promote each other's conservation programs.
APU is proud to support the education efforts of Anaheim youth at all grade levels
by providing classroom and outdoor education on the importance of conserving
natural resources, protecting the environment, and learning to use water and
energy efficiently in their daily lives. The School Education Program connected with
close to 15,000 school-aged students on the value of sustainable resources.
Additionally, APU hosts an annual water conservation poster contest to help
celebrate the month of May as California's Water Awareness Month.

UB-83
Program and Portfolio Highlights
The direct install Small Business Audit/Retrofit Program continues to provide the
maximum impact on meeting the needs of the harder to reach businesses and small
retailers within the service territory. These hard to reach customers have a very
tight cash flow and in many times are unable to participate in the rebate
programs unless there is little to no up-front monetary outlay. This program allows
customers to immediately see the savings and avoid the initial cash outlay
associated with the typical rebate type programs.
The joint Library Awareness and LED Lamp Distribution Program was ramped up
this fiscal year and replaced the outdated CFL Distribution Program, thus achieving
outstanding energy efficiency gains in a very cost-effective manner.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
• Business Partnership Program: Retrofit existing buildings and factories with
high efficiency lighting, air conditioning and process equipment.
• Free Energy Audits: Provide suggestions on the most energy efficient
equipment and more cost-effective methods of operations.

Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-14
UB-84
Complementary Programs
• Public Facilities Program is essentially the same as the current commercial and
industrial programs; therefore they are included in that category for funding
and savings.
• City Schools LivingWise Program: Provides an interactive 6th grade
conservation education program to all 6th grade classes within the City of
Azusa, both private and public.

Banning Overview
During FY 17/18, Banning spent $207194 in Energy Efficiency programs, which
have provided 150,301 kWh energy savings. It should be noted that the City of
Banning is located in an economically disadvantaged area. A significant portion of
the City's population is either low income or senior citizens living on a fixed income.
Due to the economic demographics of Banning's population, a significant portion of
Public Benefits dollars are utilized to provide low-income assistance through
reduced rates.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
One of Banning's main goals for FY 2017/18 is to expand participation in its
commercial retrofit and refrigeration programs, primarily through the adoption of
significantly increased monetary incentives for our small commercial businesses. To
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-17
UB-87
accomplish this goal Banning increased the budget and worked with community
organizations to further increase awareness and overall participation of the
Business Energy Efficiency Funds, or "B.E.E.F" program.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
Renewable Portfolio Standard. As of January 1, 2019, the City of Banning's
energy portfolio is greater than 75% renewable.
Solar Energy. Banning has met its California SB1 requirements by providing $2.4
million in rebates for the installation of solar photovoltaic systems in its service
territory. The rebates have helped install approximately 0.75MW of customer-
owned solar photovoltaic capacity in the city.
Electric Vehicles. The State of California has set a goal of having 1.5 million zero
emission vehicles on the roads by 2025. It is anticipated that the majority of these
zero emission vehicles will be electric vehicles. As battery storage technology
improves, the costs for electric vehicles will continue to decline, which will result in a
higher participation in electrical vehicle ownership within the Utility's territory. The
City received a grant to have an electrical vehicle public charging station
constructed in the McDonald's parking lot, which is now completed, and running.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs

Biggs Overview
The City of Biggs is primarily a residential city with one large industrial customer.
A significant portion of the City's population is either low income or senior citizens
living on fixed incomes. The City experienced a 15% load decrease in FY 2018.
This decrease is attributable to decreased activity at our large, industrial customer,
Sunwest Milling. We had little public interest in residential energy efficiency
programs, as solar PV continued to be the primary focus of our citizens.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
There have been no major changes in programs offered, but budgeted funds
decreased substantially as Greenhouse Gas auction revenues were allocated
elsewhere because our Street Light Replacement Project reached completion. With
low customer participation in offered energy efficiency programs,the City focused

on street-light replacement to capture efficiency savings and increase the safety of
city neighborhoods.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
• Commercial Lighting Program: Customized Lighting Retrofit Rebate Program
available to all commercial customers and educational facilities.
• Commercial HVAC Program: Customized HVAC Retrofit & Optimization
Program provides generous incentives for businesses and educational facilities
to update aging HVAC units or tune-up units that do not need replacement.
Residential Programs
• Residential Appliance Program: This program offers incentives to residential
customers for the purchase of Energy-Star rated refrigerators and the
recycling older units.
• Residential HVAC Program: Tiered incentives for replacement of aging HVAC
units at residential properties. The greater the SEER level above Title 24
requirements, the greater the potential incentive. The Res. HVAC program also
provides incentives for tune-ups of HVAC units, the installation of 7-day
programmable thermostats and the installation of whole-house fans.
• Residential Shell Program: This program offers incentives for increasing
insulation levels and installation of dual-pane, low E windows to replace
existing single-pane. Future programs may include whole-house air sealing.
• Referral to Community Action Agency for LiHEAP grants.
Complementary Programs
• Low-Income Programs: Biggs works with Community Action Agency of Butte
County to provide weatherization, appliance replacement, lighting
replacement and HEAP grants to income-qualified household within our service
territory. Complimentary on-site energy audits are performed by our partner,
Efficiency Services Group, to resolve high usage complaints.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
In 2007, in response to AB 2021, Biggs hired a third-party contractor to formulate
an EM&V plan. In 2008, 2009 & 2010, Biggs contracted with Navigant
Consulting to perform Energy Efficiency Program Evaluation studies of all
programs the city offers. Those studies can be found on CMUA's website and our
city website. With the understanding that all programs need not be evaluated
every year, Biggs moved to evaluation of all programs, in three-year blocks. Biggs
is currently working to find a consultant to perform multiple years' worth of EM&V
reports and have budgeted $14,000 toward fulfilling our EM&V requirement.

Burbank Overview
Located in Climate Zone 9, Burbank is known as the Media Capital of the World,
and is home to two of the world's largest studios,Warner Bros. and Disney. The
city is also home to thousands of smaller businesses, many of whom moved to
Burbank in the early 1990s after the aerospace industry contracted and real
estate became plentiful and cheap. From BWP, these businesses have come to
expect cost-effective and reliable electric service, as well as additional services
such as fiber optic networking.
At the same time, Burbank has a vibrant residential community, with a housing mix
of about 18,500 single family homes that ranges from post-war bungalows to two
story view homes. There are also about 27,000 multifamily homes, a figure that
continues to increase with infill and high-density development. As a result of nearly
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-24
UB-94
20 years of energy efficiency history, increasingly stringent codes and standards,
and a community ethos of sustainability, the average Burbank household uses
about 500 kWh per month. This efficient baseline makes it a challenge to design
programs that can squeeze more energy efficiency juice out of an increasingly
shrinking lemon.
BWP's energy efficiency portfolio has been designed to reflect our organizational
goal of continuing to provide sustainable, affordable, and reliable service to all of
our residents and businesses. At the same time, BWP is adjusting to changes in the
utility industry, including concepts such as:
1. "Negative Load Growth," where energy efficiency and subsidized
distributed generation are "fully" offsetting economic growth; and,
2. The "Duck Curve", where customer solar PV generation in the afternoon
leads to a steep ramp up in the amount of electricity required to be supplied by
the utility in the evening. This results in a daily load profile that resembles a duck,
potentially invalidating current Time Of Use (TOU) rate design and resource
planning criteria.
To address the operational challenges of the Duck Curve, BWP is focusing more on
reducing peak demand, and streamlining operational costs through energy
efficiency. BWP's continuos promotion of transportation electrification highlights
one of the utility's strategies that addresses the Duck Curve and negative load
growth.
Promoting the investment in purchasing electric vehicles (EVs) and offering rebates
for the installation of EV chargers reinforces the utility's efforts toward increasing
transportation electrification. BWP hosted EV Ride and Drive events in October
2017 and in March 2018 in order to attract area residents to the benefits of
owning electric vehicles. Partnering with both the cities of Glendale and Pasadena,
BWP invited guests to take the EVs on display for a spin, and receive feedback
from EV owners on their personal experiences. 250 guests had attended the
October event while 175 attended the March event taking an overall
approximate 500 test drives on various EV models, ranging from plug-in hybrids
to all-battery electrics. The events featured information on public charging station
locations, and most importantly,tried to address the issue of "range anxiety".
BWP also featured information on charger rebates and promoted the advantages
of the TOU electric billing rate to help reduce peak demand consumption. In
addition, a copy of the Electric Car Insider EV Buyer's Guide was offered
featuring various model specifications on EVs for guests to explore.
Another strategy for addressing the challenges of peak demand reduction for the
fiscal year was formulating a comprehensive Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) that
outlined a roadmap for the utility to follow that would help it meet the city's
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-25
UB-95
energy needs for the next 20 years while maintaining its overall commitment to
provide customers with reliable, affordable, and sustainable sources of energy.
With recent legislation requiring the state of California to have 50% of all energy
produced through renewable resources by 2030, BWP had made a commitment
toward helping achieve this goal and including customer feedback in shaping the
IRP.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
BWP's long-running Refrigerator Round-up program concluded its last year of
operation during FY 2017-18 prompting a slight surge in program participation
during the fiscal year with 192 customers participating with a 28% increase in kW
savings from the previous fiscal year. BWP's marketing efforts to encourage
participation before the close of the program sparked enough interest in the
community to increase enrollment almost comparable to that of previous peak
levels.
BWP's HVAC Upstream Program has also shown an increase in kW savings from
prior fiscal year. FY 2017-2018 reported peak demand savings of 233 kW
compared to FY 2016-2017 savings of 194 kW - a 20% increase in savings.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
For residents, BWP's Home Improvement Program (HIP) continues to serve
customers offering free weatherization upgrade services in order to increase the
energy efficiency of Burbank's single family homes. BWP introduced the program
in November 2009 as a whole house, direct install program and it has been
expanding ever since. In partnering with the Southern California Gas Company
and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, BWP has been able to
reduce electric usage while leveraging additional funding to also reduce natural
gas and water use. HIP has several components, including an in-home audit with
energy and water education and installation of LED lamps and water savings
devices. In addition, BWP assesses single family homes for additional services
including the installation of attic insulation, duct testing and sealing, central air
conditioning tune-ups and air sealing, as well as outdoor water conservation
measures. With the current program, many of our participating residents are now
qualified to receive incentives through the state's Advanced Energy Upgrade
California Program.
During the previous fiscal year, BWP focused its marketing efforts to target more
single family homes through a redesign of communication materials and increased
digital marketing. The strategy increased program enrollment by 42%. In FY
2017-18, increased, targeted marketing and the implementation of continuous
quality improvement (CQI) measures had kept enrollments at a consistent level
increasing program participation by an additional 13% increase from the previous
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-26
UB-96
fiscal year. 762 homes had been served with 273 receiving weatherization
upgrades. Overall,the program reduced peak demand by 617 kW. The increase
in program activity, and the resulting increase in peak demand savings,
demonstrates the link between program design and program outreach, and the
need for continuous iteration and improvement.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
Residential Cooling and Non-Residential Cooling:
BWP provides services that address all aspects of space cooling for residential
homes and commercial buildings, including rebates for the purchase of high-
efficiency air conditioners and heat pumps, and free HVAC tune-ups. For FY 2017-
18, these programs resulted in more than 2.3 MW of peak demand reductions.
Non-Residential Lighting:
BWP provides free direct installation services, including for high efficiency lighting,
to all qualified small businesses in Burbank. In addition, BWP provides rebates per
annual electricity saved for customized lighting projects, including $0.10 per kWh
saved for LED lighting. Through these efforts, BWP achieved 1.7 MW in peak
demand savings and 158,000 kWh in annual electricity savings for our commercial
customers.
Residential Programs
Residential Refrigeration:
BWP provides rebates for the purchase of ENERGY STAR refrigerators, including
196 in FY 2017-18. BWP also provides new ENERGY STAR refrigerators at no
cost to income-qualified customers. In addition, BWP also removes and recycles
residents' second refrigerators at no cost in order to reduce their bills and lessen
these older appliances' impact on the grid. Through these two programs, 339
inefficient refrigerators were removed or replaced with more efficient models,
resulting in more than 122,854 kWh in annual electricity savings.
Complementary Programs
Low-Income Programs:
BWP offers a Lifeline rate to about 2,000 income-qualified customers, a 40
percent discount off the standard residential electric rate, making it among the
most generous programs in the state. BWP also offers the Refrigerator Exchange
program for Lifeline customers.
Research, Development, and Demonstration:
BWP operates a demonstration program of 23 Ice Bear units installed at City-
owned buildings and large businesses. The Ice Bear is a peak-shifting thermal
energy storage unit that works with air conditioners. The unit is simply a tank
containing water that is frozen during off-peak hours; the ice is then used to
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13Th Edition— 2019 A-27
UB-97
provide cooling, in substitution of the air conditioner's compressor, during peak
hours. In FY 2017-18,the units provided about 250 kW of peak demand capacity
reduction, directly mitigating the impact of the Duck Curve.
Energy Storage:
In addition to the Ice Bear units, and investment opportunities at utility-scale, BWP
is investigating distribution-level and customer-owned energy storage in a number
of ways, through Requests for Information and Proposals through SCPPA's Energy
Storage Working Group.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
Along with most other POUs in California, BWP uses the E3 Reporting Tool to
ensure accurate reporting of electricity and peak demand savings and cost-
effectiveness. In order to verify these savings, and meet the requirements of AB
2021, BWP also builds evaluation, measurement, and verification elements into
every program and facilitates independent third-party studies. BWP's previous
EM&V studies can be found at https://www.cmua.oro/emv-reports.
Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Eneray Savings
The majority of energy savings values used to evaluate BWP's program
performance were obtained from the TRM developed for California's POU by a
third-party firm, ERS. In the case where an installed measure was not available in
the TRM, BWP relied on vendor or other third-party data to estimate energy
savings.

Colton Overview
Colton Electric Department (CED) continues to increase program participation and
develop new programs to meet the needs of the community. To increase
participation in energy efficiency (EE) and assistance programs, CED continues to
work with a marketing firm to assist the utility with marketing materials in English
and Spanish to reach Colton's diverse community. Residents and businesses
received marketing materials to help educate them on EE rebates and other
programs CED offers for customers. CED has been successful in its "Spring into
Summer" campaign to increase EE before the hottest months.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
CED continues to expand its EE program development by entering into partnerships
to expand services for residential and commercial customers. This reporting year
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-30
UB-100
CED entered into an agreement with Southern California Gas Company to provide
low income mobile home customers energy efficiency upgrades at the same time
they are receiving gas company efficiency measures. This program assists CED in
expanding its program base and provide better customer service to customers by
avoiding being impacted twice when receiving energy efficiency direct
installations.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
This reporting year the program that had the greatest impact for potential savings
was a City of Colton facility audit of all air conditioning units. It was discovered
that several of the City's Air Conditioning units were past its useful life (40 years
or older). This provided the CED an opportunity to budget for future a city-wide
air conditioner replacement program. The audit also provided the initial
assessment to install Ice Bear technology replacements on City facilities. Not only
would CED have an opportunity for energy savings but energy storage as well.

Glendale Overview
With a heritage that spans a century, Glendale Water & Power is a municipal
utility that serves the citizens and community of Glendale, California including over
34,181 water and 88,849 electric customers located in Climate Zone 9. Glendale
Water & Power's vision is to provide our customers with reliable and sustainable
water and power services that are cost-effective and innovative. Glendale Water
& Power helps our residents and businesses become wise stewards of the planet's
natural resources and to wisely manage energy costs at home and at work through
our Community Programs, Residential Water and Energy Efficiency Programs, and
Business Programs.
Being one of the first Utilities to install both electric and water advanced meters,
Glendale Water & Power (GWP) is developing and implementing new and
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 1 3th Edition—2019 A-38
UB-108
innovative energy efficiency, load management, demand response and customer
engagement programs for its customers. Our customers are eager to take
advantage of the many benefits and new programs a modernized utility offers.
Trends in utilities are leading towards providing digital communications that give
customers near real time usage information that help consumers take charge of
their energy use and give them the tools to manage it.
A modernized electric grid greatly expands data acquisition and data sharing
across business units, lowers system losses, prevents energy theft and dramatically
improves outage and asset management, reducing maintenance and capital costs
with the goal of keeping downward pressure on consumer prices. For the current
FY 2017-18 reporting year, GWP's energy efficiency programs saved a total Net
Annual Energy Savings of 13,981 MWh (1.3% of retail sales) and reduced peak
demand by 4.4 MW (1.2 % of peak demand). With a modernized utility system,
GWP will offer more programs and increase customer engagement through mobile
applications to enable our customers to be stewards in conservation by giving them
the tools to empower them.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
In FY 2017-2018 we continued the implementation of the Conservation Voltage
Reduction (CVR) program. The program was expanded and yielded an increase
on energy savings. A CVR program is one of the most effective ways of obtaining
energy savings without having to enroll customers into a specialized program. It is
also a very effective way to reduce energy loss on the system and know and track
that you are reducing losses. It is also a technology that customers will not visually
see or feel a difference in their usage, but can be proud that their utility invested
in such a program to produce such high energy savings.
Using Dominion Voltage, Inc.(DVI) Edge system, it builds on GWP's investment in
Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) by using the data generated by the new
digital meters and SCADA to reduce customer energy consumption by maintaining
optimal voltage levels on GWP's distribution transformers and feeders. CVR
conserves electricity by operating electric customer voltages in the lower half of
the ten percent (10%) voltage band required by ANSI equipment standards.
In FY 17-18 we also experienced a decrease in participation and a decrease in
energy efficiency savings in the large Business Energy Solutions program but it
continued to be ranked among our top energy savings program in our portfolio.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
Our Home Energy Reports from OPOWER,the Conservation Voltage Reduction
pilot program and the Large Business Energy Solutions program produced the most
energy savings from our portfolio. The Home Energy Reports had the greatest
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-39
UB-109
impact on our residential customers. This program also reached the majority of our
customers and provides constant communication and engagement. The
Conservation Voltage Reduction pilot program was expanded and it now includes
a total of 21 transformers, and 35 feeders which contributed to an increased
annual energy savings. Our Business Energy Solutions program is a California
Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA) award winning program that is designed to
allow GWP large business customers the flexibility to define their own needs and
develop their own energy efficiency projects.

personal photographs with meaningful and useful historical water usage
information and near real time electric consumption information. The CEIVA IHD
works as a home gateway that simultaneously communicates with GWP's
electric digital meters as well as the customer's existing home networks via Wi–
Fi or Ethernet. In addition to providing interval energy and water consumption
usage information, GWP has the ability to enhance outreach, by pushing
energy efficiency program, conservation and event messages directly to the
IHD. In FY 2014-15 GWP's pilot consisted of 72 IHD's with a broad cross
section of residential customers. Program currently modified and integrated
the installation of smart thermostats. A total of 1,150 IHD's and smart
thermostats have been installed in customers' homes.
• High Bill Alerts - GWP partnered with Opower and launched the High Bill
Alerts to all GWP customers that sign up for the service. High Bill Alerts are
designed to analyze AMI data to help customers save energy and money
when they are likely to consume more energy than usual for a billing period.
Before the end of a billing period, High Bill Alerts inform customers that they
are likely to have high energy use, and they provide insights to help customers
reduce their consumption before the billing period ends.
• Smart Home Energy and Water Saving Upgrade Program - The program
evaluates the efficiency of customer homes, installs free energy and water
saving devices and makes recommendations for additional energy and water
measures customers can implement.
• Behavioral Demand Response Program - GWP continued the partnership with
Opower to implement a residential Behavioral Demand Response (BDR)
program which leveraged AMI data analytics, behavioral science, and multi-

will be conducted through the use of a third-party contractor. GWP will select
energy efficiency programs based on the kWh savings. The purpose of the EM&V
study is to ensure that measures are installed as claimed by GWP and to lend
credibility to GWP's savings reports as compared to the industry standards that
were available at the time of GWP's program processing and implementation. It
is Glendale's plan to review all energy efficiency programs in terms of cost-
effectiveness, customer participation and administration.
Currently Glendale Water & Power consistently performs the following in support
of EM&V activities:
• A pre and post-inspection of 100% of all large commercial retrofit projects
under the Business Energy Solutions program, including a review of their energy-
saving calculations.
• All residential and commercial solar PV installations are field inspected and
verified by city personnel for program compliance.
• Audits and installations performed by third-party contractors for Glendale's
direct install Smart Business Energy Saving Upgrades program have high
inspection rates that are performed by the consultant.

Gridley Overview
Gridley Municipal Utility (GMU) feels a significant responsibility to its community to
invest their Public Benefits funds in such a way as to impact both energy savings
and financial savings/positive economics in Gridley. GMU offers a comprehensive
menu of rebates to all residential, commercial and industrial customers. GMU's
customer demographic has historically resulted in lower customer participation in
programs that require capital investment by the customer. Because of this, GMU
has offered direct install programs that provide energy efficiency measures to
customers at little or no cost to customers.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-46
UB-116
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
There were no major program changes implemented in FY18. GMU has offered a
comprehensive menu of energy efficiency rebate programs for many years. Both
customers and local contractors find value in maintaining a consistent program.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
GMU offered the Keep Your Cool (KYC) program to commercial customers to
upgrade their refrigeration equipment. The program started in late FY17 and was
completed in FY18. This resulted in net annual kWh savings of 66,823 for FY18,
which accounts for 78% of the total net kWh savings. The KYC program provides
customers with commercial refrigeration upgrades at no cost to the customer. This
overcomes the problem many customers have with lack of capital to invest in
energy efficiency upgrades and supports local businesses.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
GMU manages a comprehensive energy efficiency incentive program for
commercial customers focusing on energy efficiency and peak load reduction.
Rebates are available for upgraded lighting, HVAC, appliances, refrigeration

Healdsburg Overview
The City of Healdsburg's Electric Department manages a comprehensive energy
efficiency program for residential and commercial customers incentivizing energy
conservation as well as peak load reduction. For residential customers, rebates
help to drive installations of a variety of energy efficiency measures. Residential
rebates are offered in the following areas; lighting, appliance, heat, and cooling,
weatherization, and pool pumps. For commercial customers, rebates are generally
site specific and developed as customer programs to allow the greatest program
flexibility and variety of incentives to the end users. All custom commercial
incentives must be accompanied with analysis demonstrating a benefit to cost ratio
greater than one and acceptable to the end user.

UB-120
For fiscal year 2018 the City of Healdsburg budgeted $150,000 for energy
efficiency rebates. Fiscal year 2018 budget was amended to $225,000 to allow
the funding of a low-income direct install program.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
For the 2018 calendar year, the City completed a comprehensive direct install
program for low-income customers. The program installed high efficiency light
bulbs, smart power strips, several water conservation measures, and collected
information about each residential units future energy efficiency potential. The
program was expanded in 2018 as a direct install of exterior lighting for the low-
income multifamily properties.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
In 2018 the greatest energy efficiencies achieved were by the custom commercial
energy efficiency program. The City's custom commercial programs allows the end
user flexibility in the development of retrofits that drive measurable savings. For
2018 the City was able to work directly with commercial customers to drive
lighting upgrades. Notably, a winery customer installed LEDs throughout a large
facility, resulting in 321,540 kWh savings annually. In total, commercial programs
achieved over 663,000 kWh in energy savings.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
The City offers the following commercial programs:
• Energy Audits and Rebates: This program offers complementary, on-site
energy audits for both commercial and industrial customers. Energy efficiency
recommendations and follow up visits support implementation of recommended
energy efficiency measures. Energy efficiency rebates are available for
upgrades identified through these audits.
• Commercial Lighting: This program engages local lighting and electrical
contractors to promote and install energy efficient lighting upgrades through
technical assistance and financial incentives available from Healdsburg's
Electric Department.
• Commercial Refrigeration and HVAC: The City offers commercial customers a
wide selection of refrigeration and HVAC rebates. These rebates are
performance based and provided greater reward to projects that reduce
system peak demand.
• Custom Energy Efficiency Programs: The Healdsburg Electric Department will
consider custom energy efficiency programs for site-specific consumption. The
Electric Department will require that the City's contractor review and endorse
all custom programs. This review may result in a small cost adder to the
proposed project but validates the benefit to cost ratio of the program. The
Healdsburg Electric Department retains the sole right to approve or deny
custom projects.

UB-124
IID's energy efficiency programs are a key factor in the utility's overall goal.
These programs provide a positive impact on utility cost by stabilizing energy
consumption and reducing purchases of expensive peak power. Additionally,
customers are provided with an opportunity to take charge of their energy
utilization and by doing so, reducing their electricity consumption and cost.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
The program portfolio and rebate levels remained consistent from previous year,
with the exception of the HVAC rebate, in which a 3rd Tier was added in order to
entice customers to purchase higher SEER units.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
IID strives to provide an energy efficiency portfolio tailored toward the unique
needs of the ratepayers that generates long-term energy savings while
maintaining low-cost, reliable power. The district's portfolio offers residential
customers with staple programs such as energy assessments and prescriptive
rebates and non-residential customers with a customized program that allows
flexibility necessary to encourage investments in efficient technologies.

Complementary Programs
• Low-Income Programs - As a large number of HD's residential customers
participate in its income-qualified programs, a significant portion of revenue
generated through the public benefits charge is allocated towards these
programs. Program expenditures for the 2016 year totaled over $6.3M, with
an average enrollment of 13,900 customers.
o Residential Energy Assistance Program (REAP) –This program provides
customers with a discounted rate on their electric bill. Qualification is
based on the number of residents per household and the total gross
income of all the income sources in the home. Qualifying customers may
receive a 20 percent discount on their monthly bill. Qualifying seniors
60 or older may apply to receive a 30 percent discount.
o Emergency Energy Assistance Program (EEAP) –This program provides
financial assistance to customers in a financial crisis, facing
disconnection for nonpayment.
o Medical Equipment Energy Assistance Program (MEEUAP) –This is an
assistance program that reduces the electric rate for a defined quantity
of electricity used to operate medical equipment by a household that
has a full-time resident who requires specific medically necessary
electric equipment to sustain life or prevent deterioration of a person's
medical condition.
• Energy Storage:
o The District's first ever battery energy storage system went online in
November 2016. The project is a 30-megawatt, 20-megawatt-hour
lithium-ion battery storage system that will increase reliability across
the IID grid by providing the ability to balance power and integrate
solar while providing spinning reserve and black start power
restoration capabilities. IID anticipates its customers will benefit from
reduced operating costs throughout the lifetime of the project,
providing a significant cost savings to ratepayers. The project is one of
the largest of its kind in the western United States.
• Renewable Energy Programs:
o Net Billing –The Net Billing Program is NEMs successor program and
also compensates net-surplus customers in accordance with the
Distributive Self-Generation Service Rate
o E-Green Solar Program - On January 9, 2018, IID's Board of Directors
approved a 23-year term power purchase agreement with Citizens
Energy Corporation for 30 megawatts of solar energy. The agreement
will be used to serve IID's low-income electric customers under the
eGreen program. The district will use the solar energy purchased to
provide a discount to qualified low-income customers under IID's
Residential Energy Assistance Program. The program will allow low-

electric bills under the eGreen program. No enrollment is required and
REAP customers will be automatically enrolled onto the program. The
program is expected to commence third quarter 2019.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
IID conducts EM&V studies on a two-year program cycle. The latest report is a
summary of the evaluation effort of the 2014 and 2015 energy efficiency
portfolio. The evaluation was led by ADM Associates Inc. and included the Energy
Rewards prescriptive rebates, weatherization, Quality AC Maintenance, Customer
Energy Solutions and New Construction Energy Efficiency programs. Evaluation
activities consisted of calculation of energy and demand savings attributable to
the efficiency programs, a process evaluation to identify actionable information
aimed at program improvements and recommendations for future program years.
IID's evaluation reports are available online at https://www.cmua.org/emv-
reports.
Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Energy Savings
IID utilized a combination of savings from the TRM, KEMA 2009 report, utility work
papers and custom savings when applicable. For the prescriptive rebate program,
the district relied on the deemed savings provided by the TRM as the individual
efficiency measure's performance characteristics and use conditions were well
known and consistent. Subsequently for the custom programs, custom savings were
calculated taking into account the properties of existing equipment, replacement
equipment and future use.

Lodi Overview
Lodi Electric Utility (LEU) utilizes the energy efficiency program to engage with
customers, bring value to local businesses and promote economic development. The
program is designed to benefit all customer segments and offers a wide variety of
opportunities for participation. With median household income of $52,000 and
nearly half of the housing in the city renter-occupied, many LEU customers do not
have the ability or financial means to make significant EE improvements to their
homes.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
In FY18, LEU continued to offer a comprehensive selection of programs for our
commercial, industrial and residential customers. There were no significant program
changes.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-64
UB-134
Program and Portfolio Highlights
LEU continued to offer the Residential Direct Install and Snapshot Audit program
that it started in FY16. This program offered installation of LEDs, advanced power
strips, thermostatic shower valves, shower heads, and aerators in customers' homes
at no cost. The intent was to provide a program for residential customers that do
not traditionally participate in energy efficiency rebate programs. While open to
all residential customers, the program specifically targeted multi-family and low-
income properties, as they are not likely to benefit from traditional energy
efficiency programs.
The Non-Residential Rebate Program continues to be the main driver in regard to
overall energy savings achieved. Twenty-seven commercial and industrial
customers completed EE projects in FY18. Through key accounts management,the
utility maintains a proactive and positive relationship with Lodi's largest energy
consumers. These relationships are vital to Lodi's overall economic development
strategy and through them our large commercial and industrial customers have
been effectively encouraged to engage and make investments in EE.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
LEU manages a comprehensive energy efficiency incentive program for commercial
and industrial customers focusing on energy efficiency and peak load reduction.
Rebates are available for upgraded lighting, HVAC, appliances, refrigeration
equipment, electronics, and in cases where an analysis is performed rebates can
be offered for additional equipment that reduces energy use and/or demand.
On-site energy audits are provided by energy specialists. Energy efficiency
measures are recommended, and additional visits are completed upon request.
There are no Agricultural customers in LEU service territory.
• Non-Res Lighting: LEU offers rebates to business owners who invest in the
installation of energy efficiency lighting upgrades.

Lompoc Overview
The local climate, customer base, and demographics impact the potential savings
from energy efficiency programs offered by the Utility. The majority of energy
efficiency programs are focused on lighting and refrigeration since there is little
need for air conditioning in our coastal climate and most buildings are heated by
gas.
Residential customers make up 89% of the customer base, with an average electric
use of 325 kWh per month. Only 11% of the retail customer connections are
commercial and demand customers, where the majority of savings opportunities
can be found. The City has no industrial or agricultural customers.
The demographics also have an impact on the participation rate of energy
efficiency programs. The average medium household income in Lompoc is
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-69
UB-139
$49,074 with 20.8% of the population living in poverty (2017 US Census Quick
Facts). Many residential customers have limited funds or incentive to make energy
efficiency improvements to their homes, especially if they are renting. To assist
these customers,the City provided programs to help low income customers make
energy efficiency upgrades.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
Commercial Programs continue to provide the greatest savings all of programs
offered by the City. The City reached its 10-Year Energy Efficiency Savings
Target of 213 MWh. The gross annual energy saved by all programs was 306
MWh. This is an increase from the previous reporting period of 37%. There was
an increase in annual gross savings from the previous reporting period of 56% in
Commercial Programs. This savings can be attributed to an increase in
participation in the lighting program by large, corporate owned retail stores,
reducing lighting loads. Additionally, an energy efficiency retrofit project at a
large aquatic center was made through the Commercial Custom Energy Efficiency
Program, reducing the energy required to filter and pump water in two large
pools.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
To help encourage low income customer participation in energy efficiency
upgrades,the City continues to offer the Income Qualifying Energy Star Clothes
Washer and Refrigerator Replacement and Recycle Programs. Success of these
programs can be attributed to working with one local dealer who installs the new
appliance and recycles the old appliance for the customer. This helps make it
easier for a customer to participate and the City ensures that the old appliances is
recycled properly at the City landfill.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
The City has no industrial and no agricultural customers; therefore, there are no
specific programs for these sectors.
• Commercial Lighting Program: Provides rebates for the installation of energy
efficient lighting.
• Commercial Custom Energy Efficiency Program: Provides a rebate for
equipment and lighting retrofits not covered by existing programs.
Residential Programs
• Buy Back Refrigerator and Freezer Recycle Program: This program provides a
rebate to customers who dispose of their extra refrigerator or freezer and
recycle it.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-70
UB-140
• Energy Star Dishwasher Replacement Program: This program provides a
rebate to customers who purchase an Energy Star dishwasher and recycle their
old appliance.
• Energy Star Clothes Washer Replacement and Recycle Program: This program
provides a rebate to customers who purchase an Energy Star clothes washer
and recycle their old appliance.
• Energy Star Refrigerator and Freezer Replacement and Recycle Program:
This program provides a rebate to customers who purchase an Energy Star
refrigerator or freezer and recycle their old appliance.
• LED Bulb Rebate Program: Provides rebates for the purchase of Energy Star
LED bulbs.
• LED Holiday Light Rebate Program: Res Lighting: Provides rebates for the
purchase of LED Holiday light strands.
• Income Qualifying Energy Star Refrigerator & Recycle Program: In this
program, the City helps purchase an Energy Star refrigerator to replace a
customer's working primary refrigerator from a participating dealer. The
customer must qualify for the Electric Rate Assistance Program and pay a
portion of the cost back to the City over a year. Appliances must be recycled
at the City of Lompoc Landfill.
• Income Qualifying Energy Star Clothes Washer & Recycle Program: In this
program, the City helps purchase an Energy Star clothes washer to replace a
customer's working clothes washer from a participating dealer. The customer
must qualify for the Electric Rate Assistance Program and pay a portion of the
cost back to the City over a year. Appliances must be recycled at the City of
Lompoc Landfill.
• It should be noted that the Dishwasher and Clothes Washer Rebate programs
are not funded by Public Goods charges but from a Water Conservation Fund.
The City provides water service as well as electric service to its customers.
Complementary Programs
In addition to the portfolio programs, the City offers rate assistance and audit
programs and has been evaluating energy storage and electric vehicle use.
• Electric Rate Assistance - The City provides financial assistance to customers
who have a household income level below the 2018 Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) Low Income Limits Calculation for the local
area. The assistance is paid toward their electric usage charge.
• Residential Medical Discount Program – residents who have qualifying medical
conditions and are billed under a residential rate schedule may be billed at a
lower tier on the rate schedule.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-71
UB-141
• The Customer Energy Audit Program - Customers can borrow a watt meter to
measure the energy use of appliances and electronics. Because the City has
automatic meter reading capability, staff is able to view electric daily and
hourly use data which has proven to be helpful. Customers are provided
reports of their electric use which can help them better understand their usage
and implement staff suggestions to reduce energy use without making
investments in energy efficiency upgrades.
• The City has also been evaluating energy storage opportunities. As of this
report, the City has not identified any cost-effective energy storage projects.
• The City is researching infrastructure upgrades to accommodate electric vehicle
charging station energy demand. The City owns 2 electric vehicles and 1 dual
port charging station for City vehicles use only.

Los Angeles Overview
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) was established in
1902 to deliver water to the City of Los Angeles and began distributing electricity
in 1916. LADWP is the largest municipal utility in the nation, providing reliable
energy and water services to 4 million residents and 450,000 businesses in four
different climate zones: CZ6, CZ8, CZ9, and CZ16. A peak demand of 6,502 MW
was registered on August 31, 2017.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
LADWP is moving toward a clean energy future. The power system is going
through a complete transformation, increasing reliance on distributed energy
resources (DER) including energy efficiency for a 100%clean energy future and
increasing electrification. LADWP also must comply with continuously changing
targets and goals set by federal, state, and local agencies as well as international
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-74
UB-144
standards. As a result, higher expenditure allocations towards direct install
programs with slightly less energy savings in FY17/18 are attributed to LADWP's
effort to achieve equitable access, skilled jobs, transparency, and community
capacity building. In January 2018, the Commercial Direct Install Program
Program eligibility increased the maximum monthly usage from 200 kW to 250
kW to increase small business customer participation.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
LED Distribution: LADWP delivered two free LED bulbs to 1.2 million residential
customers
Commercial Direct Install Program: Program eligibility increased the maximum
monthly usage from 200 kW to 250 kW to increase participation.
LADWP signed an agreement with the Los Angeles City Plants program to fund
42,000 additional trees to be planted throughout the City of Los Angeles over the
next two years.
UCLA-LADWP 2014 Study on Job Creation from LADWP Efficiency Investments
show a potential to create 16 jobs per $1M invested and an estimate of 11,000
jobs created by 2020.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
Commercial Direct Install: LADWP partners with Southern California Gas Company
to offer a tree-source efficiency program aiming to reduce the use of electricity,
water and natural gas. In FY 17/18 5,297 businesses were completed.
City Trees Program: An average of 22,000 trees are distributed annually focusing
on low-canopy communities and savings resulting from trees shading buildings.
Residential Programs
The Home Energy Improvement Program is a comprehensive direct install whole-
house retrofit program that offers a full suite of free products by upgrading the
home's envelope and core systems. In FY 17/18 2,046 homes were completed.
The Refrigerator Exchange Program is a free refrigerator replacement program
designed to target low and fixed income customers. The program was expanded
to include multi-family and mobile home communities, civic, community, faith-based
organizations as wee as educational institutions.
Complementary Programs
Low-Income Programs:
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-75
UB-145
Refrigerator Exchange Program, Home Energy Improvement Program, and Direct
Install Programs are key programs to the community, small business customers, hard
to reach customers, low income customers, and multi-unit dwellings.
Green Power for a Green L.A. Program:
The Green Power for a Green L.A. Program gives Los Angeles residents,
businesses, and governmental agencies a stake in helping to preserve and protect
our environment through their voluntary contribution to support additional
renewable energy. Customers who sign up for Green Power choose to have all, or
a portion, of their electricity needs generated from renewable energy sources.
Research, Development, and Demonstration:
LADWP is involved in energy storage studies and projects using various
technologies and use cases, including lithium-ion,flow batteries, compressed air,
thermal energy storage at levels of the power system, including generation,
transmission, distribution, and behind the meter.
Electric Vehicles Electric Vehicle Charger Rebate Program:
LADWP introduced the Electric Vehicle Charger Rebate Program, "Charge Up
L.A.!" to encourage the installation of convenient electric vehicle (EV) charging
stations at residential and commercial locations to support the purchase and use of
EVs. This program benefits the environment and helps EV users save on fuel costs at
the same time. The rebate is offered to qualifying commercial customers who
purchase and install Level 2 (240-volt) chargers at their place of business.
Customers who choose to install an optional dedicated time-of-use (TOU) meter will
qualify for the LADWP's EV discount of 2.5 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This
dedicated service will add additional cost to the installation process but will yield
lower electricity costs for off peak charging.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
The total budget for EM&V over the 3 year contract period is $3,705,437 which is
equivalent to 0.74% of the total portfolio budget on an annual basis.
LADWP has opted to evaluate its programs and activities from a holistic
standpoint. Moving forward, LADWP will be tasking its third party EM&V
consultants to evaluate the energy efficiency market impacts of all the combined
efforts of City of Los Angeles (inclusive of LADWP's efficiency programs). The final
EM&V report includes the preliminary Market Transformation (MT) evaluation plan.
One of the end results of the MT evaluation quantifies the incremental energy
savings potential due to market intervention introduced by the City of Los Angeles
and a plan to track market indicators to re-calibrate early projections moving
forward.

Sources of energy savings include custom engineering calculations using industry
standard modeling software such as EnergyPro and eQuest as well as simple
engineering calculations in spreadsheet format. LADWP's Custom Performance
Program and Commercial Lighting & Commercial Direct Install Programs uses these
approaches respectively. For direct install and residential programs, deemed
savings supported by a combination of the latest Technical Reference Manual as
well as utility workpapers are used. Examples of programs using this approach
include the Consumer Rebate Program, the Food Service Program, Refrigerator
Exchange and Refrigerator Recycling Programs.

Merced Overview
The District provides electric services to thousands of customers in Eastern Merced
County including the cities of Livingston, Atwater and Merced as well as Castle
Airport and Aviation Development Center.
A large percentage of our energy efficiency savings have traditionally come from
our large industrial customers. Those customers only make up approximately 15%
of our customer base. We differ from other utilities in that almost all of our
residential customer base is made up of relatively new construction.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
Program savings have traditionally come from our large industrial base. It is hard
to forecast the types of projects that our customers will prioritize during our
reporting year.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-79
UB-149
The programs currently being offered are being evaluated. We would like to
focus on offering more prescriptive measures. We are also evaluating the
potential of doing a direct install program for low-income customers.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
The Customized/Industrial Retrofit Program enables qualifying commercial and
industrial customers to apply for financial incentives on more specialized and
comprehensive energy saving measures that do not fall under the Commercial
Lighting Program or the Mechanical Equipment Retrofit Program. Applications for
this program are evaluated and approved on an individual per application basis.
Financial incentives for qualifying customer projects are paid for annual kilowatt
hour savings in a one year period on approved projects.
Residential Programs
Current Residential Customer Programs:
• Residential Rebate Program: This program encourages residential customers to
purchase EnergyStar® labeled products and home appliances. We also offer
customers rebates for upgrading their HVAC systems, installing whole house
fans, and installing ceiling fans.
We are currently evaluating and revising our programs. We are considering
adding additional incentives for our low-income customers.
Complementary Programs
• Residential Energy Assistance Program (CARE): Since 2000, MID has been
providing a 20 percent discount on monthly energy bills for Low-Income
Families, and the Medical Baseline and Life-Support Program for those who
depend on electrically powered medical equipment.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
Merced Irrigation District partnered with Modesto and Turlock into one evaluation
effort for EM&V. The three Irrigation Districts of Modesto, Turlock, and Merced
(MTM) are located in California's central valley near one another and each offer
similar DSM programs.

Major Program and Portfolio Changes
2018 saw minimum program changes. MID did however launch a pilot Smart
Thermostat program. This program provided a $50-$75 incentive for installation
of a qualified Energy Star®Smart Thermostat. Customers and HVAC contractors
praised the program and will likely be added to MID's regular MPower incentive
program portfolio in 2019.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-82

Program and Portfolio Highlights
MID increased the promotion of low to moderate income energy efficiency
programs by providing staff presentations on energy efficiency to non-profit
agencies and low-income advocacy groups in our area. MID also began to
increase the use of social media to promote energy efficiency programs to our
customers.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
Programs offered are MPower Business, Business Custom and Business New
Construction. See MID website (www.mid.org) for program details.
Residential Programs
Programs offered are MPower Home and Weatherization. See MID website
(www.mid.org) for program details.
Complementary Programs
Low-Income Programs: MID's low income programs are comprised of
weatherization, CARE rate discount and educational outreach. Energy savings from
the weatherization program are included in the results for the SB1037 report.
Customer demand for weatherization exceeds the annual amount budgeted and
the rate discount alone represents a substantial portion of the total public benefits
funding allocation. However, MID continues to facilitate new partnerships with
other organizations and agencies to increase its outreach and provide additional
weatherization services to low-income customers.
Renewable Energy Programs: MID's renewable energy programs are conducted
in accord with legislative and regulatory mandates, such as the Renewable
Portfolio Standard (RPS) and the California Solar Initiative (CSI/SB1). To date,
MID has procured enough renewable energy to satisfy the renewable energy
trajectory that was established by the CEC for the three compliance periods
through 2020, and recently executed two additional renewable energy contracts
that will help MID meet compliance through at least 2023. MID continues to work
toward meeting the remaining targets through 2030.
Research, Development, and Demonstration: MID remains open to partner with
other utilities or agencies in opportunities to leverage the limited funding it can
allocate to this program area.
Electric Vehicles: MID is developing an Electric Vehicle Charger Rebate program
for 2019.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-83
UB-153
Energy Storage: In 2014,the MID board of directors adopted a policy
determining that energy storage targets are not appropriate for MID. The board
subsequently reviewed that policy and adopted a policy update confirming the
previous determination that energy storage targets are not appropriate for MID.
The district continues to evaluate the energy storage benefits that are applicable
to the MID system and will consider updating this policy if warranted by
operational and/or economic needs.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
MID continued its ongoing efforts to obtain independent, third-party review of its
EE programs, which is employed as part of the review and approval process for
selected projects as well as after the fact for the overall portfolio.
For 2018, Power Services, Inc. (CMVP qualified) performed M&V on selected
projects and Anchor Blue Consulting conducted M&V on the 2016 & 2017 EE
portfolios.
MID's annual budget for EM&V work is $75,000 and completed studies can be

Moreno Valley Overview
Moreno Valley Electric Utility (MVU), municipally owned, began serving its first
customers on February 6, 2004. These "first customers" are located in the
Promontory Park subdivision built by Western Pacific Housing, located at Cactus
Avenue and Moreno Beach Drive. Since then, MVU has witnessed significant load
growth peaking at just under 50 megawatts on August 28th, 2017.
Although MVU met its Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) goals in 2012 and ended solar rebates
in 2016 both residents and businesses continue to express interest in solar. Local
solar installers continue to engage MVU customers to install new solar, often
maximizing the system size without offering cost-effective energy efficiency as a
viable option. MVU is also seeing an uptick in customers adding additional panels
to an existing rooftop solar system. New communities from William Lyon, KB
Homes, and Beazer are building homes with solar pre-installed. MVU processed
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-86
UB-156
over 200 new solar interconnections and connected more than 800 kilowatts of
residential solar during this reporting period.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
Energy efficiency programs are still relatively new at MVU so no major program
changes were made last year. The Smart Thermostat Demand Response Program
was discontinued due to high overhead and administrative costs; however, smart
thermostats were added as a measure to the Residential Audit and Direct Install
Program. MVU is exploring a Smart Thermostat Rebate Program to allow
customers a wider variety of choices of smart thermostats to install.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
The commercial lighting program continues to be the most successful energy
efficiency program at MVU. Amazon underwent a massive LED retrofit for its two
MVU-served facilities with a total savings of nearly 10 million kilowatt hours and 1
megawatt of demand! This project was completed in phases over two fiscal years
allowing Amazon to take advantage of MVU's generous rebate program.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
• Lighting Retrofits– rebates are available to commercial customers for LED
lighting retrofits, other energy efficient lighting replacements, and for LED or
photo-luminescent exit signs.
• Commercial Energy Efficiency Program–this Direct Install program provides
small to medium-sized customers with an onsite energy audit and energy
saving measures at no cost to the customer.
• Commercial Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Retrofits–
customers that install new high SEER HVAC units or replace older inefficient
units can participate in this rebate program. The installation of new chillers that
exceed Title 24 requirements or load-shifting Thermal Energy Storage (TES)
systems may also qualify for rebates.
• Motor Replacements–commercial customers that install premium efficiency
motors are eligible for rebates under this program. Motors covered under this
program must be new,three-phase induction motors (1hp to 200hp in size) and
operate for at least 2,000 hours per year.
• New Construction and Major Tenant Renovation –this program offers
incentives for projects exceeding Title 24 by at least ten percent. Eligible
customers are responsible for providing documentation of energy savings using
energy modeling software and all calculations must be signed by a licensed
mechanical engineer.
• Outreach Programs–the utility contracts with Automated Energy to provide
the largest commercial customers with detailed energy usage information to
help efficiently manage their energy consumption and evaluate potential
energy efficiency projects.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-87
UB-157
Residential Programs
• Residential Energy Audit & Direct Install –this program targets very high
energy use customers and participants in our Low Income Program. The
program provides eligible residential customers with a full in-home energy
audit and specific recommendations for their home plus a fixed set of
maintenance and upgrades at no cost to the customer.
• Energy Star Appliance Rebates–customers who purchase Energy Star
Qualified appliances can apply for a fixed rebate amount under this
program.
• Weatherization – rebates are available for energy efficient windows, doors,
attic insulation, and high SEER air conditioning and heat pumps.
Complementary Programs
• Low-Income Programs: MVU's Energy Bill Assistance Program provides income
qualified residents with a 12% or 20% discount on monthly energy charges;
this year's expenditures were over $67,000.
• Demand Response: MVU continues to maintain and operate 15 commercial Ice
Bear units on both city and customer facilities.
• Research, Development, and Demonstration: MVU received an APPA DEED
Student Research Grant to sponsor a UCR student's research titled
"Investigation of a High Voltage Electric Field on the Soiling Rate of PV
Panels". Support for transportation electrification is becoming a priority for
MVU; funding is available for research and demonstration projects.
• Electric Vehicles: MVU is experiencing increased interest and activity both for
workplace charging and home charging. MVU selected Alternative Energy
Systems Consulting (AESC) to help develop a transportation electrification
strategy and is currently working it.
• Energy Storage: A battery storage system (75kW/180kWh) was added to
the City Hall Solar Carport as a demonstration project that includes a kiosk in
the lobby. There have been a few proposals by commercial customers to
include battery storage with new solar installations but none have actually
been installed. One residential Tesla Powerwall has been installed with solar
and others are being proposed. In the future MVU expects greater interest
and activity in solar plus battery installations as prices move toward time-of-
use (TOU).
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
Engineering analysis programs such as DOE-2 are the basis for calculated energy
savings and incentive calculations. MVU requires both pre-inspections and post-
inspections for all projects that result in a commercial rebate over $5000. The
utility plans to use a third-party consultant (AESC) to verify energy savings for
complex projects and custom measures when necessary.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-88
UB-158
Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Energy Savings
MVU relied primarily on the values from the new CET/RP model but also used
reported energy savings from trusted engineering contractors to calculate
program performance.
• Commercial Codes & Standards–this reporting year MVU will record its share
of the energy savings that are attributable to the State's Building Codes and
Appliance Standards (Title-24) to the CEC.

Needles Overview
The City of Needles is a severely disadvantaged community. The average
household income is $43,372. The EE program(s) not only assist the NPUA's load
factor but assist the community residences with lower monthly utility bills. The EE
program also reduces Needles's peak load factor. High temperatures in the
summer cause the peak load to be mostly air conditioning loads which are
lessened by the 15 SEER higher installations through the EE program.
Residential Programs
The City funds the low income residential program and provides the following
services;Air Conditioner, evaporated cooler with SEER 15 or higher, Sun Shade
Program, Energy Star Qualified Appliances (Qualified Appliances are;
Dishwashers, Clothes Washers, Refrigerators and Freezers) and Low-E Windows

Palo Alto Overview
The City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU) has implemented a variety of energy
efficiency programs since the 1970s. In 1998, in response to California's landmark
energy legislation (AB 1890), CPAU established the Electric Public Benefits (PB)
Program and increased the Electric PB program budget to 2.85 percent of
projected annual revenue in order to fund energy efficiency programs. CPAU's
electric efficiency program budget can be supplemented with supply funds in
order to meet state requirements that publicly owned electric utilities, in procuring
energy, first acquire all available energy efficiency and demand reduction
resources that are cost-effective, reliable and feasible.
CPAU is committed to supporting environmental sustainability through promoting
efficiency programs, promoting distributed renewable generation and influencing

consumer demand through incentives and education. In March 2013, Palo Alto City
Council approved a Carbon Neutral Electric Resource Plan, committing CPAU to a
carbon-neutral electric portfolio beginning in 2013. In FY 2018, CPAU purchased
carbon offsets for its complete natural gas portfolio and is currently supplying all
customers with carbon neutral gas. This move helped to spur the development of
the natural gas offset market. Palo Alto took a big step into electrification and
decarbonization and began designing and promoting programs to reduce
greenhouse gas by taking advantage of its carbon neutral portfolio. FY 2018 is
the first year that our new aggressive reach goals for 2018-2027 took effect.
These reach goals are approximately 30% higher than if we had adopted a
"business-as-usual" approach to programs.
CPAU reports the Net and Gross Annual Energy Savings in this report. On a gross
basis we saved 1.0% of our electric load, 8,941,902 kWh exceeding our gross
goal of 0.88%. On a net basis, we saved 0.66% of our electric load, 5,910,590
kWh missing our net goal of 0.75%. The discrepancy is due largely to very low
net to gross ratios for retrofitting commercial lighting with LEDs. We are interested
to learn how representative these net to gross ratios are for Palo Alto, or if they
may be undercounting the actual impact of our programs. CPAU's adoption of
these aggressive goals was based on models which predicted an average net to
gross ratio of about 0.85; therefore, we need to a) reconsider how our programs
can be modified; b) examine how accurate these net to gross ratios are with a
local study; and c) potentially reevaluate the achievableapfficiency in our service
territory if these low net to gross ratios are accurate for Palo Alto.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
FY 2018 saw a big push into building electrification efforts and increasing supply
equipment for EV chargers. Staff continued working with a marketing consultant to
upgrade the marketing materials for all programs–including a full website
migration. CPAU for the second year continued to claim the savings associated with
the development of Palo Alto's building reach code, the Green Building Ordinance,
but still is working on improving internal processes to verify a higher percentage of
actual savings. CPAU crafted a new requirement, which went into effect in FY
2018, for commercial retro-commissioning projects to include additional
persistence procedures. This new requirement ensures that the savings persistence
for these projects will increase from one year to three years. A Building Operator
Certification program was offered to our Key Accounts and the savings were
rigorously verified by our EM&V contractor.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
The Commercial and Industrial Energy Efficiency Program is the flagship of CPAU's
commercial portfolio. With three engineering firms working closely with Key
Accounts, this program is where Palo Alto sees the bulk of its energy savings. The
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-94
UB-164
consultants assist customers with audits, engineering studies, vendor selection,
rebate processing and post-installation inspection. They make the process as easy
as possible for the customer. Seventy percent of the gross reported came from this
program, with fifty percent of the gross savings coming from one very large
customer. CPAU implemented this program design into the residential market with
the Home Efficiency Genie as "Your Trusted Energy Advisor", and have begun
seeing increased engagement with residents. CPAU began an EV Charger Rebate
Program in late FY 2017, using funds from the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and
staff has been working with a variety of organizations to help them participate
over the next year. FY 2017 was the first full year for the Heat Pump Water
Program, and CPAU promoted the program by holding a workshop, smoothing the
permit process and expanding eligibility to new construction projects. Both EV
charging rebates and the Heat Pump Water Program expanded in FY 2018.
Finally, CPAU started buying carbon offsets for our gas portfolio.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
Commercial Advantage Program (CAP): Incentives are offered to commercial
customers for investments in efficiency, lighting, motors, HVAC and custom projects
that target gas, peak demand and energy reductions. In FY 2018, CAP recorded
net annual electric savings of 124,226 kWh.
• Commercial and Industrial Energy Efficiency Program (CIEEP): This program
offers Key Accounts the option of picking one of three engineering consulting
firms to assist in helping them evaluate and implement energy efficiency
projects. In FY 2018, CIEEP recorded net annual electric savings of 3,268,803
kWh.
• Empower Small and Medium Business (SMB): This was the final year of this
program focusing on energy efficiency savings from mostly lighting retrofits in
the small and medium commercial sector. A new SMB program is planned to be
launched by FY20. In FY 2018, Empower recorded net annual electric savings
of 266,593 kWh.
• Business New Construction (BNC): This program ended in FY 2016 due to the
more stringent Title 24 requirements and the Palo Alto Green Building
Ordinance (>_10% more efficient than Title 24), which made finding savings
above the local code very difficult. Although the program is closed, there are
some customers with projects that are still awaiting completion. Measure costs
for this program are provided as incremental costs for the more efficient
equipment. During FY 2018, BNC recorded a net annual electric savings of
12,701 kWh.
Residential Programs
Multi-Family Plus: This program provides no-cost, direct installation of energy
efficiency (EE) measures to multi-family residences with four or more units including
hospices, care centers, rehab facilities and select small and medium commercial
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-95
UB-165
properties. These properties are typically very difficult to engage and unlikely to
institute EE measures on their own. The program was started in FY 2006, but was
recently revamped to include more LED lighting upgrades as the price of LEDs has
decreased and the quality of the lights has greatly improved. In FY 2018,the
Multi-Family Plus program recorded net annual electric savings of 280,251 kWh.
• Home Efficiency Genie: The Home Efficiency Genie is CPAU's flagship
residential program. Launched in June 2015, residents can call the 'Genie' to
get free utility bill reviews and phone consultations. This program has a high
educational value for Palo Alto residents and offers personalized consultation
services for all utilities related questions, including measures such as rooftop
solar and newer technologies like electric vehicles (EVs) and EV chargers,
energy storage, heat pump technologies, smart home devices and carbon-
reducing tactics such as electrification. At a highly-subsidized cost, residents
have the option to receive an in-depth home assessment which includes air
leakage testing, duct inspections, insulation analysis, energy modeling and a
one-on-one review of assessment reports with an energy expert. This package
is followed up with guidance and support throughout home improvement
projects. During FY 2018, the Home Efficiency Genie program had net annual
electric savings of 42,002 kWh that were directly attributable, while the
ongoing energy education also likely led to substantial savings that are not
being claimed.
• Smart Energy: This is an energy efficiency incentive program for residential
customers. The City gives rebates to residents who install energy efficient
measures and equipment in their homes. Among these are attic insulation, heat
pump water heaters, pool pumps, smart power strips and whole-house fans.
Due to federal minimum manufacturing standards for appliance efficiency, the
number of appliances meeting rebate qualifying standards dropped
significantly during FY 2016. In FY 2018, Smart Energy achieved net annual
electric savings of 2,159 kWh.
• Residential Energy Assistance Program (REAP): This program provides
weatherization and equipment replacement services to low-income residents
and those with certain medical conditions, with no cost to the residents. This
program has an equal focus on efficiency and comfort, and therefore is not
meant to be cost-effective. With the addition of LED lighting upgrades to the
list of measures in FY 2018, REAP recorded net annual electric savings of
102,988 kWh.
• Home Energy Report: CPAU stopped providing residents with individualized
reports, which compared their home energy use with neighbors in similarly
sized homes, in FY 2015. However, based on the results of behavior studies on
Home Energy Reports, savings persist with a decay rate of 20% per year for
5 years after the program has ended. In FY 2018, the Home Energy Report
recorded fourth year persistence annual electric savings of 821,387 kWh.

UB-166
Complementary Programs
Codes and Standards:
• Green Building Ordinance: CPAU helped the City of Palo Alto develop a
building reach code that is more stringent than the state Title 24 standard. This
ordinance applies to both residential and commercial buildings. The savings
associated with this effort have not previously been claimed by CPAU, so
efforts were undertaken in FY 2017 to develop a methodology for claiming
these savings now and in the future. In FY 2018, 836,000 kWh of savings were
achieved by the building code– a number which is expected to markedly
increase in future years as the City's process for recording savings from the
code is improved. CPAU continues to choose not to participate in claiming
savings from state-level codes and standards development.
Community Resource Education Programs:
• CPAU offers free energy efficiency advice and energy education programs to
the community. Activities include hosting Facility Manager Meetings for Key
Account customers, residential energy workshops on topics like the SunShares
program or Heat Pump Water Heaters, and often table at neighborhood
association events, local fairs and various special events throughout the City.
Low-Income Program:
• Rate Assistance Program (RAP): CPAU offers a 25% discount on gas and/or
electricity charges for residents with qualifying financial or medical needs. All
households receiving Social Security Income, Temporary Assistance to Needy
Families or Food Stamps automatically qualify for this rate discount. This
program began in FY 1993.
Public School Program:
• CPAU provides an annual grant of up to $50,000 to the Palo Alto Unified
School District (17 schools with 12,000 students total) to support teacher
training programs and the development of curriculums and education projects
promoting renewable energy and energy and water efficiency. CPAU
participates in quarterly sustainable schools committee meetings and gives
educational presentations to classes on energy efficiency, renewable energy
and safety.
Customer-Side Renewable Energy:
• Solar Water Heating Program: CPAU offers rebates to residential and
commercial customers who install qualifying solar water heating (SWH)
systems. The program is governed by state law in regard to development,
implementation and administration.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-97
UB-167
• The PV Partners Program: This program provided rebates to customers who
installed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Rebate funds were fully reserved in
April 2016. The last PV installations were completed in 2018.
• SunShares Solar Discount Programs: Palo Alto has participated in regional
group-buy solar programs in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. These programs
are administered by a non-profit agency and offer discounted prices for
residential solar PV systems from a few pre-qualified contractors. Palo Alto
was the top outreach partner of all cities participating in the 2018 Bay Area
SunShares solar group-buy program both in terms of the number of solar
contracts signed and the number of kilowatts of rooftop solar capacity that will
be installed through the program. Palo Alto residents signed 23 contracts for a
total of 115 kilowatts of rooftop solar. Palo Alto was also the #1 city for
purchases of electric vehicles through SunShares, purchasing 40% - that's about
5 out of 12 - of the total number of EVs sold through the program Bay Area-
wide.
Sustainability:
• EV Chargers: In March 2017, Palo Alto began offering EV charger rebates to
schools, non-profits and MUDs (Multi-Unit Dwellings) with common area
charging accommodations using Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Credits
allocated to the City by CARB ( the California Air Resources Board). Rebates
of up to $30,000 are available for schools and non-profits and up to $18,000
for MUDs. In FY 2018, CPAU paid EV charger rebates out to three sites. Even
with a generous rebate, it became clear that despite the demand for EV
infrastructure, property owners needed more support to figure out how to
install EV chargers. Staff worked with the Development Center to streamline
the permitting process and began work to issue an RFP for an EV Solutions and
Technical Assistance program. This new program will launch in FY2019 and is
expected to accelerate the installation of shared charging infrastructure at
harder to reach properties. Staff is also looking into raising its rebate amounts
as industry is reporting that the cost for installing one commercial grade EV
charging connector is costing an average of $13,000. The City also used LCFS
funds to host two EV ride-and-drive events and two EV workshops attracting
close to 400 potential new EV drivers.
• Heat Pump Water Heater Pilot: The City launched a Heat Pump Water Heater
(HPWH) pilot program in late spring 2016 to encourage residents to replace
their gas water heaters with efficient electric HPWHs. This program offers
rebates of up to $1,500 for qualifying models that meet the minimum
efficiency standard required by the California Energy Commission. The
Development Center and Utilities, collaborated to develop a streamlined
permit submittal checklist for installing HPWHs. In the spring of 2018,the City
co-hosted a HPWH workshop with Passive House California, as well as a mini-
summit with various stakeholders including local non-profits, CCA's, installers,
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-98
UB-168
designers, architects, distributors and manufacturers. The outcome of this event
spurred the City to pursue a regional mid-stream program to accelerate
market-transformation. This lead to working with StopWaste to apply for a
2018 BAAQMD (Bay Area Air Quality Management District) Climate
Protection Grant. A $300,000 grant was awarded to StopWaste at the end
of FY2018 to develop and launch a mid-stream HPWH program as well as,
organize trainings and supply chain engagement. In FY 2018, CPAU
completed 27 HPWH projects compared to 3 in FY 2017.
Utility-Interconnected Renewable Generation in Palo Alto:
• Palo Alto CLEAN: The CLEAN (Clean Local Energy Accessible Now) program
offers a feed-in tariff for any-sized renewable generation systems installed on
the utility-side of the electric meter where all of the generated electricity is
procured for use in Palo Alto's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). CPAU has
accepted applications for six systems for a total of 2.915 MW. For fiscal year
2017, the available prices were 16.5 0/kWh fixed for 15, 20 or 25 years for
solar renewable energy resources, up to a capacity limit of 3 MW (and 8.8
0/kWh for a 15-year contract term, 8.9 0/kWh for a 20-year contract term or
9.1 0/kWh for a 25-year contract term beyond that limit), and 8.3 0/kWh for
a 15-year contract term, 8.4 0/kWh for a 20-year contract term and 8.5
0/kWh for a 25-year contract term for non-solar eligible renewable energy
resources.
• PaloAltoGreen: This program was launched on Earth Day in 2003 to give
customers the option to voluntarily reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated
with their electricity use. Participants paid an additional charge per kWh to
cover the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) so that their
electric use was supplied with 100% renewable energy. As of June 2014,the
residential program was closed because the City's electric supply became
100% carbon neutral. PaloAltoGreen is still available for commercial
customers who wish to be recognized under the U.S. EPA Green Power
Leadership program or to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) Green Power credits. At the end of FY 2018, CPAU had 129 customers
enrolled in PaloAltoGreen, representing approximately 27 GWh of annual
load.
Customer Connect Pilot Program and AMI Implementation:
• The 5-year Customer Connect pilot program that began in 2013 uses
advanced electric, gas and water meters and related systems (known as
Advanced Metering Infrastructure, or AMI) to help residential customers
evaluate changes in their energy and water use and view their consumption
through an online portal. This program has approximately 400 participating
customers, of which 96 have enrolled in the pilot Time-of-Use electricity rate.
Enrolled customers are able to save money by shifting electric usage to off-

peak hours. The pilot also offers water leak-detection capability, and has
detected over 200 leaks at customer premises. Staff communicated with
customers to resolve the leaks on over a quarter of these incidents, saving them
money and thousands of gallons of water. The 5-year pilot phase ended in
December 2017, but the advanced customer meters, networks and customer
portals are expected to be maintained through 2022. By that date, CPAU
plans to roll out an AMI system for all utility customers so that the community
can more effectively manage its consumption.
Commercially-Focused Programs:
CPAU's Demand Response (DR) pilot program offers incentives to large commercial
customers to voluntarily reduce their electricity use during periods of high demand
in the summer months. In the past four years, 0.63 MW (2015), 0.24 MW (2016),
0.28 MW (2017), and 0.23 MW (2018). A commercial benchmarking data
request webpage was added to the City's webpage to assist customers in their
compliance with AB 802. Building consumption data will be sent to the customer in
a format which can be easily uploaded to the EPA's Portfolio Manager website.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
For FY 2018, CPAU contracted with TRC Engineers, Inc. to undertake impact and
process evaluation for the CIEEP (Enovity, BASE & Ecology Action), Green Building
Ordinance and Building Operator Certification. The budget for this work is
$124,737. A final EM&V report is expected to be available by the end of May
2019.
Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Energy Savings
The energy savings data used for almost all of CPAU's programs were taken from
the 2016 Technical Resources Manual and Database for Energy-Efficient Resources
(DEER). Some programs had savings determined by a consultant or other data
sources. For example, CPAU's CIEEP program relied on Itron 2019, 2017
Nonresidential ESPI Deemed Lighting Impact Evaluation for the net to gross ratio.
All savings data claimed by CPAU was vetted by staff and relies on conservative
assumptions. Many utilities use net to gross ratios between 0.85 and 1 for large
commercial programs, where we used between 0.55 and 0.85, with an average of
0.58.

Pasadena Overview
In the past decade, PWP has experienced an estimated 15% decline in annual
retail energy sales. Nevertheless, Pasadena's local economy remains robust.
Several developments are expected to be completed in the next few years,
including commercial office and medical buildings; coupled with various
affordable and market rate multifamily housing projects. While the record
breaking levels of development activity has slowed, the City's Planning
Department still issued over 8,200 construction permits for projects totaling $174
million dollars.
Pasadena's City Council has also consistently adopted aggressive energy-
efficiency and demand reduction goals since2007, with the latest update in 2017
calling for 13,500 kWh of annual savings, about 1.3% of retail sales, each year.
New codes and standards, efficiency improvements and continued increase in
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-102
UB-172
renewable local distributed generation are expected to result in means
consistently flat energy load projections for the near future.
In FY18, energy efficiency programs expenditures totaled $4.65 million (including
incentives, administration, program marketing as well as EM&V), which is roughly
2.5% of its retail revenue. PWP funds procurement of all energy efficiency
through Public Benefits Charge ("PBC") revenues, with current PBC revenue rate at
$0.00685 per kWh. As a whole, energy-efficiency programs represented
approximately 76% of Pasadena's PBC expenditures in FY17/18. The solar
incentives represented 14%, transportation electrification incentives represented
1%, and bill payment assistance accounted for 9%.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
PWP is constantly seeking innovative ways to provide conservation programs that
bring value to different customer segments while meeting annual energy efficiency
goals adopted by the City Council.
• As part of ongoing efforts to align energy efficiency programs with utility
goals, PWP has continued to shift its focus from rebates to direct install
programs. PWP plans to utilize its direct install programs to better serve
low/moderate income residential customers, elderly and small businesses in the
disadvantaged communities (DAC) within PWP's service territory.
• In partnership with the Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), PWP
relaunched its Water Energy Direct Install Program (WeDIP) towards the end
of June 2018. The WeDIP provides no-cost direct installation of efficiency
upgrades for small and select medium commercial customers, with an emphasis
on businesses in the DAC area. As part of the relaunch, newly added
measures include kitchen equipment and expansion of existing refrigeration
measures.
• PWP also commenced efforts to re-design both of its existing commercial
energy efficiency rebate programs to improve cost-effectiveness and allow for
more streamlined processes and online application submittal. The commercial
custom and deemed rebate program offerings officially launched in Fall 2018.
• In partnership with SoCalGas, PWP completed first year implementation of its
no-cost residential direct install program and served 539 homes with various
efficiency upgrades during FY17-18. Through the Home Improvement Program
(HIP), customers receive an in-home evaluation, summary report and efficiency
installs to conserve water and energy. The target customer group for this
program includes moderate income households, elderly and high energy users.
In an effort to expand program offerings and capture additional energy
savings, PWP added additional measures like the smart thermostat and
adjusted program requirements to allow for more weatherization projects.
• Launched the Online Residential Rebate Portal, which allows the utility's
residential electric customers to submit online applications for home energy

Energy Savings Assistance program (ESAP) partnership withSoCalGas.
Enhancements include establishing a single phone number for inquiries through
the Citizen Service Center as well as a single point of contact to enroll
qualified customers in various City programs and services. Recent
enhancements to the Under One Roof has resulted in a significant boost to the
ESAP and various other income qualified programs, which is a result of
continued collaboration between City departments
• After many years of contributing towards market transformation, the
"Pasadena Solar Initiative" is expected to reach 10.54 MW of total solar
capacity installed. Established in accordance with the requirements of the
Senate Bill 1, the Pasadena Solar Initiative provided generous rebates for
solar installations from January 2008 through December 2017. PWP continues
to enable customers to interconnect new solar photovoltaic systems and enjoy
the benefits of net energy metering rates.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
In summary, energy savings results for FY17/18 are broken down into five
separate categories. Commercial programs contributed 5,274 MWh, residential
programs contributed 7,223 MWh, C&S contributed 2,999 MWh, T&D contributed
36 MWh and water transfer (embedded energy) contributed 1,037 MWh. In
total, the annual energy savings come out to 16,569 MWh.
The Transmission and Distribution "T&D" energy savings represent distribution
system upgrades while the Codes and Standards "C&S" are energy and peak
demand savings that are allocated to PWP's service territory as a result of the
state's updated building codes that are enforced by the City of Pasadena's
Planning and Community Development department.
PWP has four energy efficiency programs that account for roughly 70% of annual
savings for FY17/18, programs with the greatest impact are as follows:
1. On the commercial side, the Energy Efficiency Partnering (EEP) rebate
program provided customers with customized incentives on various LED
lighting and mechanical projects to encourage energy conservation and
load reduction. In its last year of operation, the EEP contributed 4,480
MWh (27%) towards the annual energy savings. Starting FY19, the EEP
will be replaced by the Customized Incentive Program and Business Rebate
Program.
2. The WeDIP provided customers with no cost direct install services to select
small/medium commercial customers. Measures include LED Lighting and

commonly found refrigeration measures. The existing WeDIP ended in
December 2017 due to the expiration of the existing program contract.
Soft launch for the newly expanded WeDIP did not commence until June of
fiscal year 2017/2018. In total, the WeDIP contributed 699 MWh (4%)
towards the annual energy savings.
3. On the residential side, the Home Energy Report, a behavioral program
that is available to all PWP residential electric customers, contributed
5,897 MWh (36%) towards the annual energy savings. The personalized
quarterly behavioral reports provide insightful and easy to understand
information about household energy use, empowering homeowners with the
knowledge to take action and make their home more energy efficient.
4. Lastly,the HIP provides residential electric customers with no cost direct
install services. Measures include lighting, HVAC Tune-up, weatherization,
high efficiency toilets, smart thermostats and smart irrigation systems. The
HIP was newly launched in fiscal year 17/18 and contributed 463 MWh
(3%) towards the annual energy savings.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
PWP's three commercial offerings fall into three distinct categories: rebates,
direct-install and upstream programs.
1. The EEP program provides rebates to any commercial electric customer to
help offset the upfront costs of efficiency upgrades and capital
improvement projects.
2. The no-cost direct install WeDIP program serves small businesses and
includes a free evaluation to go with a customized report. Efficiency
measures offered through the WeDIP include LED Lighting, refrigeration
upgrades, aerators and efficient kitchen equipment/low-flow toilet
replacements.
3. Lastly, the upstream program conducts outreach and incentivizes
distributors to upsell/stock efficient HVAC equipment that meet eligibility
requirements.
PWP does not have any industrial or agricultural programs within its portfolio.
Residential Programs
PWP has seven residential offerings also fall into three distinct categories, rebates,
direct-install and behavioral programs.
1. The Home Energy Rebate program provides rebates on the purchase of
Energy Star certified appliances, qualifying variable speed pool pumps,
efficient air conditioning/heat pump equipment and various building shell
improvements (insulation, whole house ventilation fans, cool roofs, skylights,
window film, shade trees, etc.). The rebates offer through this program
covers typical sector-category classifications used in the previous years,

which includes residential refrigeration, pool pump as well as heating and
cooling.
2. The online web shop is an online portal where PWP provides "rebates" so
residential electric customers can purchase LEDs, smart power strips and
smart thermostats at a discounted price. The popular program officially
closed at the end of FY17/18, with a large majority of customers
purchasing or redeeming vouchers for a variety of LED bulbs.
3. The appliance-recycling program is a free service that encourages PWP
electric customers to recycle their old refrigerator/freezer (functioning) and
purchase a newer, more efficient model. Participants will also receive a
rebate for allowing the appliance to be recycled.
4. The ESAP is a partnership with the SoCalGas that provides no cost direct
install services to qualifying income qualified customers. As part of the
program, eligible residential customers will receive various efficiency
upgrades to help improve the comfort of their home while lowering
energy/water consumption. Measures include attic insulation, AC Tune-up,
LED light bulbs, smart power strips, smart thermostats, low-flow toilets and
much more.
5. The Home Improvement program provides no cost direct install services to
all residential electric customers. As part of the program, eligible
residential customers will receive various efficiency upgrades to help
improve the comfort and efficiency of their home. Measures include attic
insulation, duct sealing, AC Tune-up, smart irrigation systems and much
more. The utility has dedicated resources to target specific customer
segments that include moderate-income homeowners, elderly and high
energy/water users.
6. The income qualified refrigerator exchange program provides Energy Star
certified refrigerators at no cost to eligible customers. Eligible participants
must possess a functioning refrigerator that can be swapped out with the
new Energy Star certified model.
7. The Home Energy Report is a residential behavioral program that is mailed
to approximately 40,000 customers on a quarterly basis, helping residents
better understand their energy consumption and how it compares with
similar households in the vicinity. The report also has customizable sections
that help promote other PWP efficiency programs that may be of interest.
The Public Benefits fund also help share the cost of the utility's education programs
for school-aged children. For fiscal year 2017- 2018, this involved educational
field trips for students of the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD), scholarship
for high school seniors,the Living wise green curriculum, and the Solar Cup through
the Metropolitan Water District. On average, the utility is able to reach about
5,000 students each year. In particular, the green curriculum is available to all 2nd

UB-176
grade PUSD students and emphasizes ways to incorporate sustainability as part of
their daily lifestyles.
Complementary Programs
1. Income Qualified Bill Assistance Programs: PWP has offered electric rate
assistance programs to eligible low-income seniors or disabled customers
for several decades. The current Electric Utility Assistance Program
("EUAP") became effective in 2006 and provides monthly assistance to low
income, seniors, and customers with qualifying medical equipment. Project
APPLE ("Assisting Pasadena People with Limited Emergencies" provides a
one-time utility bill payment assistance program that provides eligible
customers who need help paying their bills, up to $100 per year. Funding
for Project APPLE is possible through donations from PWP customers as well
as PBC revenues.
In addition, PWP partners with other City departments that offers specific
income-qualified services through the "Under One Roof" program to
income qualified customers. Services include a limited number of low-to-no
interest loans, exterior house painting, wheel chair ramps, weatherization
services, an ENERGY STAR refrigerator exchange, no-cost solar energy
systems, free turf replacement to drought tolerant landscapes and double
the rebates on qualifying efficiency products offered through the Home
Energy Rebates program.
2. Renewable Energy Programs: The goal of the Pasadena Solar Initiative
("PSI") is to provide incentives for a 10-year period from 2008-2017, with
incentives decreased by a minimum set amount each year. The PSI
incentives was designed to encourage customers to install photovoltaic
systems on their home or business. A goal of 14 MW was established in
line with Senate Bill 1, California's "Million Solar Rooftops" initiative. PSI
incentives are paid upfront through an Expected Performance Based
Buydown ("EPBB") for smaller systems, whereas all systems larger than 100
kilowatts ("kW") are now paid over two-years based on metered output
through a Performance Based Incentive ("PBI"). PWP officially stopped
accepting new applications after December 31, 2017, after the tenth and
final year of the PSI program. PWP continued to process and close out
applications that were submitted prior to the deadline. For fiscal year
17/18 ending in June 2018, 138 PWP customers installed an additional 1
MW of solar PV. After many years of contributing towards market
transformation, the PSI is expected to reach 10.54 MW of total solar
capacity installed.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-107
UB-177
PWP also offers a Green Power Program, where customers can opt to pay
a premium (2.5 cents/kWh) on their electricity bill for clean, renewable
power. This program is open to both residential and commercial customers.
3. Research, Development, and Demonstration: PWP has invested resources in
a variety of different RD&D projects to align with industry trends and utility
objectives. For fiscal year 2017/2018, PWP continued its support for
transportation electrification, with a focus on Plug-in Electric Vehicles ("EV").
During FY17/18, PWP procured new electric vehicles to replace its existing
fleet. The utility is also encouraging the private sector to build additional
charging sites for public and private fleet use through a robust incentive
program offering rebates of up to $50,000 per commercial account.
Commercial customers that install charging infrastructure are eligible to
receive $3,000 per unit, which doubles to $6,000 if the chargers are in
DAC locations or made available for public use. Incentives are also in
place to encourage Pasadena residents to buy or lease an EV and EV
charger to enable charging at home. In particular, PWP residential electric
customers can receive up to $750 for a new or used EV and up to $600
for a new Wi-Fi enabled EV charger. For FY17/18, PWP approved 106
qualifying residential EV notification rebates and paid out $21,200 in
incentives. For residential EV charging, PWP approved 42 qualifying
applications and paid out $9,987.38 in incentives. Lastly, for commercial
EV chargers, PWP approved 6 qualifying applications and paid out
$3,600 in incentives.
4. To support public EV awareness and education, PWP participates in
regular events that display EV technology. In March 2018, PWP continued
its partnership with the cities of Glendale and Burbank for a third "ride-n-
drive" event, which invited local residents from the tri-cities area to test
drive various EV modes and learn more about the EV directly from the
owners.

Plumes Sierra Overview
Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative is a member-owned, not-for-profit utility
located in the eastern Sierras of Northern California. PSREC provides electricity to
more than 7,000 rural residents in portions of Plumas, Sierra and Lassen counties in
California and part of Washoe County, Nevada.
The areas PSREC serves are outside the small towns in our region that were
considered unprofitable by the investor-owned utilities. Local ranchers and farmers
banded together in 1937 to form the cooperative with funding from the Rural
Electrification Administration (now the Rural Utilities Service).
Plumas-Sierra's service territory encompasses more than 1,700 square miles with
more than 1,300 miles of transmission and distribution power line. PSREC serves
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13TMh Edition— 2019 A-111
UB-181
just five members per mile of line, compared to the average of 34 customers per
mile of line for investor-owned utilities.
PSREC's rural members were hard-hit by the economic downturn, but are now
recovering and homeowners are upgrading their homes to improve efficiency and
comfort with new windows, upgraded insulation and efficient air source and
ground source heat pumps, resulting in increased participation in efficiency
programs offered by PSREC.
An important aspect to note is PSREC's unique peak demand occurs during winter.
Therefore, the most cost-effective program concentration is to reduce demand in
the winter. The reporting model has limitations in how coincident peak demand
savings are reported since PG&E's load profile is applied as the default.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
For 2018, there were no major changes to the PSREC programs or portfolios.

Rancho Cucamonga Overview
The amount of energy efficiency rebates in fiscal year 2018 were comparable to
the previous years, with the trend continuing to be with lighting retrofits replacing
inefficient lamps with LEDs.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
The Energy Efficiency rebate program continues to have the greatest impact and
participation among RCMU customers. Participation in the direct installation
program remained low, however, there has been a slight increase in customer
inquiries regarding the program, as new customer/tenants move-in to existing
spaces and buildings.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-119
UB-189
Program and Portfolio Highlights
RCMU promotes the rebate programs and energy efficiency practices online and
offers free energy audits to educate customers on energy savings and potential
upgrades on existing equipment.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
• Energy Efficiency Program – Non-Res Lighting, Non-Res Refrigeration: RCMU
has adopted an "Express Solution" model for energy efficiency rebates.
Customers receive a rebate for estimated kilowatt hour savings for the first
year in the following categories: Lighting, Interior LED, Exterior LED,
Delamping, HVAC, Motors and Refrigeration.
• Direct Savings Program – Non-Res Lighting: To encourage and assist small and
medium sized businesses to reduce their energy usage, RCMU will pay and
install up to $1,500 of recommended retrofit items that are determined from
the complimentary energy audit. Any cost above the $1,500 limit is paid by
the customer.
Residential Programs
During this year, RCMU residential customers were leasing tenants. The energy
efficiency program is available but since they are not the owner of the home, it is
unlikely any will participate in the program and make upgrades. Additional
residential developments are currently under construction with some single family
homes that may bring more interest to these programs in the future.
Complementary Programs
• Energy Audits: RCMU offers free, customized energy audits including lighting,
HVAC and equipment assessment and a review of energy usage. Specific cost-
effective recommendations to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy
use are provided.
• Low Income: The program is intended to assist customers with their bill and is
funded by the RCMU Public Benefit Fund. The household size and gross income
requirements will be based off of the San Bernardino County Income Limits and
Documentation system.
• Medical Support Assistance Program: The program will assist eligible
residential customers where a full-time resident of the household regularly
requires the use of essential medical support equipment. An application with
supporting documentation from the patient's doctor is required to receive the
credit each month.
• New Development Incentive: This incentive is for new development that is built
to exceed a minimum of 15% above Title 24 Code. The incentive payment is
based off of the final Title 24 report created by a Certified Energy Plans
Examiner (CEPE) and verified by a third party certified Home Energy Rating
Systems (HERS) Rater.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-120

Redding Overview
• Total sales for FY 2018 were 745,209 MWh - a 0.05 percent decrease
compared to FY 2017. Redding will continue to forecast declining electric
sales. REU attributes this decline to lower economic activity and the impacts of
energy efficiency programs, more stringent building and appliance standards,
and increased customer-owned distributed generation.
• Due to Redding's hot summer climate and high residential load, REU's peak
demand typically occurs in the summer between 4:00-5:00 p.m. and is more
than double the peak demand during non-cooling months.
• Redding has committed much of our Cap and Trade auction proceeds to efforts
that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat poverty, and achieve reliable
energy savings.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-123
UB-193
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
In an effort to maximize REU's benefits to the community and maintain compliance
with State and Federal regulations, REU implemented a variety of changes to the
public benefits programs in FY 2018. These changes are as follows:
• In April 2018, Redding City Council approved the expenditure of $10.8 million
of Cap and Trade allowance proceeds on programs that save energy and/or
reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the categories below. Upon Council
Approval, the following programs were developed in FY 2017 and will be
included in future annual program reports:
o $2 Million: Transportation Electrification including incentives for
residential vehicle purchase and chargers, commercial vehicle
purchase and chargers, public level 3 fast charger installation, and
electrification of the City's Fleet.
o $3 Million: Affordable Housing Energy Efficiency to incentivize
housing.
o $0.5 Million: Low-Income Electrification including installation of heat
pump technology.
o $0.8 Million: Non-motorized transportation enhancements.
• In December 2017, the Redding City Council approved REU's recommendation
to update the residential and commercial rebate programs.
o Enhanced commercial offerings to add new food service equipment
and refrigeration efficiency improvements.
o Expanded custom incentive programs to replace existing
$0.04/kWh custom refrigeration program.
o Effective January 1, 2018, retired rebates included clothes
washers, clothes dryers, duct sealing, window films, shade screens,
radiant barriers, and small window air conditioners rated under
8,000 Btu/h).
o Effective January 1, 2018, modified rebates include reducing the
incentive for variable speed pool pump from $400 to $200 and
specifying wall insulation as "drill and fill" type only.
o Effective January 1, 2018, new rebates include Energy Star
refrigerators and dual pane windows replacing single pane
windows.
o Effective January 1, 2019, retired new construction rebates.
• In December 2017, the Redding Council approved REU's recommendation to
have professional services to provide automated rebate processing services,
including database hosting, rebate processing, and technical review of
deemed rebates.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-124
UB-194
Program and Portfolio Highlights
• In FY 2018, REU's total commercial sector lighting savings increased over 2017
levels to 4.1 million kWh (net). REU anticipates that lighting rebates will
continue to deliver savings in Redding for the foreseeable future, as we have
not aggressively pursued these savings in the past.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
• HVAC - Non-Res–Cooling: Rebates for heating, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi
enabled thermostats.
• Lighting - Non-Res– Lighting: Retrofit lighting projects. Calculated lighting
retrofit program uses a custom calculator to determine savings based on
existing equipment, retrofit equipment and hours of operation. Utility funded
program for replacing City of Redding owned streetlights with new LED
fixtures.
• Refrigeration - Non-Res– Refrigeration: Custom rebate calculated based on
existing equipment, retrofit equipment, and hours of operation.
• HVAC - Non-Res–Shell: Rebates for commercial window coverings.
Residential Programs
• Appliances - Res - Clothes Washer: Rebates for clothes washers and dryers.
Only makes and models on the current ENERGY STAR eligibility list qualify for
a rebate.
• HVAC - Res–Cooling: Rebates for heating, air conditioning, Wi-Fi enabled
thermostats, and whole house fans.
• Pool Pump - Res– Pool Pump: Residential rebates for programmable,
variable speed-drive pool pumps installed on existing or new in-ground pools.
• HVAC - Res–Shell: Residential rebates for insulation, window treatments,
radiant barrier, and window replacement.
• Water Heating - Res–Water Heating: Residential rebate for electric storage
water heaters and heat pump water heaters.
Complementary Programs
• Shade Trees Program: Utility funded program to provide Shade Trees for
residential and commercial customer
• Low-Income Programs: Low-income assistance spending (through the CARES
Program and Lifeline Rate Discounts) continues to be the second largest area
of our Public Benefits Program expenditures. During FY 2017, rate discounts
represented about $1.2 million paid with public benefits funds. Low-income
programs have been most beneficial to a significant portion of our customer
base that has limited situational and/or financial means to participate in other
EE programs.
• Electric Vehicle(EV) Charging Infrastructure: In FY 2017, REU developed the
framework for Transportation Electrification incentives for residential chargers
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-125
UB-195
and vehicle purchase, commercial chargers and vehicle purchase, public level 3
fast charger installation, and electrification of the City Fleet. In April 2017,
Redding City Council approved $1.7 million of Cap and Trade funding to fund
these initiatives which were launched in FY 2018. Status updates will be
provided in future reports.
• Residential Education: Redding offers a variety of in-home services through the
Residential Energy Advisor program. This includes guiding customers through
the rebate programs while educating them with energy saving tips.
• Commercial Education: Redding offers a variety of in-business services through
the Commercial Energy Advisor program. This includes guiding customers
through the rebate programs while educating them with energy saving tips.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
REU participated in a professional services EM&V study for the FY17 Commercial
Lighting Rebate Program during the FY 2018 reporting year. The study provided
valuable insight to the program and many of the recommendations included in the
report were already implemented in the FY18 program prior to the study. The
results of Redding EM&V reports are available here: https://www.cmua.ora/emv-
reports
In addition to these activities, rebate processing includes technical review on 100%
of the rebate applications submitted to ensure that projects align with program
requirements. Furthermore, REU performs pre- and post field inspections on large
projects that account for the majority of savings.
Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Energy Savings
For the vast amount of its EE programs, REU uses the standard measures as
constructed within the Energy Services Platform's (ESP) reporting tool. For REU's
unique programs (Low Income Weatherization, streetlights) REU used the custom
measure feature in ESP to represent the energy and demand impacts of those
programs. For the commercial lighting program, REU utilizes a custom excel
calculator.

Riverside Overview
In Fiscal Year (FY) 147/18, Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) met 95% of the
kilowatt-hour (kWh) savings goal of 1% of retail sales as adopted by the Board
of Public Utilities in 2017. RPU assisted its customers in saving over 22 million kWh
at an average cost of $0.21 per kWh saved.
RPU helped revitalize the local economy by stabilizing utility rates through a rate
freeze adopted by the City Council in 2010. This rate freeze provided customers
with stable and predictable rates during the economic recovery period; however,
the rate freeze also eroded utility and public benefit fund revenues. RPU has
begun the implementation of the new 5 year rate plan, which will roll out in phases
in an effort to make the smallest possible impact on our ratepayers.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-128
UB-198
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
RPU continues to enhance and expand its energy efficiency program portfolio for
the benefit of its customers and the Riverside community. Staff examines the
overall portfolio quarterly and recommends incentive level adjustments for
consideration and direction by the RPU General Manager.
Although the local economy has stabilized and is moderately expanding, RPU is
experiencing leveled participation in energy efficiency rebate and incentive
programs. Overall program participation has remained flat over the past 8 years
at approximately 20,000 rebates per year. This flattening demand for energy
efficiency programs is likely due to a combination of market saturation, customer
perception that solar generation is of higher value than energy efficiency, and
overall weak consumer confidence.
Our solar rebate program sunsetted at the end of calendar year 2017, which
allowed us to shift funds to focus on more low income programs. During FY 17/18,
the RPU team focused on revamping our low income programs to be most
beneficial to our rate payers. For this reason, there was very low participation in
our low income programs. FY 18/19 will show more programs and more
participation for our low income customers.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
RPU's Commercial Lighting, Small Business Direct Installation (SBDI) and Keep Your
Cool (KYC) Direct Installation programs continue to be a highlight of RPU's overall
program portfolio in terms of both customer acceptance and kWh savings.
Although commercial customers only represent 10% of total utility customers, they
represent the majority of RPU's load. As a result, RPU has dedicated additional
program resources to assist commercial customers in achieving energy efficiency
savings.
RPU's small business customers have often been reluctant to participate in
traditional rebate programs due to lack of upfront capital, time, or technical
ability to implement energy efficiency projects. RPU's SBDI Program was designed
to address these primary customer concerns. The SBDI program is a comprehensive
direct installation program combining measures such as lighting retrofits and
controls, HVAC tune-ups, LED exit and "open" signs, Tier 2 advanced power strips,
and various weatherization measures. Each project starts with an energy audit of
the business's facility to prioritize recommended energy efficiency measures. SBDI
offers businesses up to $2,000 in free energy efficiency upgrades, and allows the
business customer to fund additional improvements through contractor co-payments.
The program is available throughout RPU's service territory and has been
expanded to medium-sized business customers.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-129
UB-199
RPU contractors have found that the market potential for this program is
substantial and that there is no shortage of businesses that can realize significant
savings from energy efficiency upgrades provided through this program. Customer
feedback regarding this program has been very positive, with almost 1,400
customers served in FY 17/18.
The Keep Your Cool (KYC) Program is similar but more specifically focused on a
direct installation of cooling and refrigeration measures in mini-markets, delis,
convenience stores and restaurants.
Combined, the Commercial Lighting, KYC and SBDI programs have resulted in over
16 million kWh saved in this reporting year. Although on the higher end of
measure costs within RPU's program portfolio, these direct installation programs
maintain an average cost of $0.04-$0.08 per kWh saved for lighting and $0.36
to $0.60 for SBDI. In addition, RPU receives additional benefits from increased
customer engagement and customer satisfaction.

Major Program and Portfolio Changes
Roseville maintained a broad portfolio of residential and non-residential programs
through 2018. The approach was to have a program available for a wide variety
of energy efficiency projects our customers may invest in.
Tracking the performance of these programs however, indicated a segment of
programs that are less utilized by our customers. As the reportable savings
declines among many of these measures, Roseville is exploring alternate strategies
that will allow us to maximize the impact we make with our customers through
fewer, but more engaging, program offerings. We expect changes to begin to roll
out in 2019.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
Residential customers participating in the Home Energy Reports behavioral
program contributed 49% of Roseville Electric's energy efficiency savings for FY
18. Through the Home Energy Reports program, Roseville Electric is able to
educate customers with tips to save energy in their homes.
The 7,835,968 kWh reduction represents a full year of energy reports to
approximately 38,000 customers. Interior and exterior commercial LED lighting
retrofits contributed an additional 21% of total energy savings. The combination
of energy efficiency savings achieved through LED lighting and the Home Energy
Reports program resulted in a reduction of 15,873,872 kWh for the fiscal year.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
Commercial LED and Other Lighting: Offers business customers a wide variety of
energy efficient LED interior and exterior LED lighting retrofits and control options
for updating their facilities.
Commercial Food Service Equipment: Program provides rebates to commercial
restaurants to install energy efficient electric food service equipment listed on the

with information about water and energy conservation and achieving a sustainable
lifestyle.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
Roseville Electric conducts third party EM&V or M&V on an annual basis. Selection
of the programs to review is prioritized by the dollars spent and savings claimed
for the program or when a provisional or custom measure is introduced to our
customers.
The budget for pre- and post-EM&V is determined by the program selected for
review, and can vary from $20,000 up to $150,000. The budget depends on the
extent of field measurement or customer surveys required to evaluate the program
within the guidelines established by the California Energy Commission.
All third party EM&V and M&V reports are published on CMUA's website:
https://www.cmua.org/emv-reports.

Sacramento Overview
SMUD is planning program changes to respond to the following industry trends
and changing customer expectations:
• The expectations of residential and commercial customers are growing.
Besides low-cost and reliable service, the expectation of the customer is now
quality customer service and products that meet their business needs and
personal lifestyles.
• Carbon reduction is becoming a driving force with regard to the electric and
transportation industries in California. SMUD finished a new, Board-approved,
Integrated Resource Plan in 2018,which will impact energy efficiency direction
and goals into the future.
• The increased emphasis on carbon reduction goals will also direct the utility
industry to encourage the use of an increasingly renewable electric portfolio
over natural gas.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-142
UB-212
• With the advent and proliferation of the Internet of Things (loT), there are
expanded levels of data, new communication and marketing channels and new
opportunities to meet the needs of utility customers.
• LED have become the norm. The influence of energy efficiency programs have
moved from the standard style lamp to specialty lamps and fixtures.
• While agreements were made in 2017 on how energy efficiency savings
should be reported to the California Energy Commission (CEC), SMUD is still
expecting a greater emphasis on energy efficiency in the future to meet the
spirit of SB350.
• In 2018, SMUD started the transition toward TOU rates for all residential
rates. The transition to Time of Day (TOD) rates will be completed in early
2019, which will make TOD the default residential rate. It will also be
mandatory for participation in some of SMUD's programs. This will place a
greater focus on measures that impact peak demand and load management
strategies.
• Commercial customers' interest in Zero Net Energy (ZNE) solutions is growing.
• More and more customers prefer to access information and communicate via
mobile devices.
• Consumers are becoming increasingly interconnected, fundamentally shifting
channels of social interaction.
• Customers want clear and simple choices.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
The overall budget, energy and peak savings achieved in 2018 were relatively
unchanged from 2017. Also, the following program changes were made to
facilitate customer demand and prepare for the future:
• The Retail Lighting program continued the transition toward closure. This
program will close in 2019 as the market has successfully transformed,
regardless of continued litigation around lighting regulations.
• 2018 started SMUD's transition to cumulative carbon reduction as the primary
focus of customer programs as defined in SMUD's recently completed IRP.
Consequently, the transition from natural gas to electricity for space heating
and water heating was included in SMUD's energy efficiency programs for the
first time.
• An efficient, all-electric, new construction homes program was introduce as a
replacement to SMUD's previous residential new construction program. This
program includes SolarShares, SMUD's community solar program, as an option
to help drive homes toward a net carbon-zero home.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
In 2018, SMUD continued their courageous and needed change in focus from utility
needs to customer needs and customer satisfaction. The Value For What You Pay
(VFP) initiative required significant organizational changes. The Distributed Energy
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-143
UB-213
Resources (DER) delivery team, Advanced Energy Solutions (AES), was reorganized
into Commercial, Residential, and Planning teams focused on all of the DER
components (Energy Efficiency, Demand Response, Electric Vehicles, Storage,
Electrification and Green Pricing), This has enabled the individual groups to focus
on the specific needs of the commercial and residential sub-segments in a more
holistic view as the bundling of the DER items becomes a better customer solution.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs

Ride-N-Drive event at the Sacramento International Auto Show resulted in test
drives of plug-in electric vehicles and was one highlight of our PEV education
efforts in 2018.
• Energy Storage: SMUD conducted field studies to examine grid-scale storage
applications, risks and benefits. Additionally, SMUD offered to the Residential
and Non-Residential customers started the first phases of a program to fulfill
AB 2514 requirements.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
SMUD completed two evaluation studies in 2018:
• Commercial Custom Energy Efficiency Program Impact Evaluation Report
• Low Income Weatherization HVAC and Solar Evaluation Report
For the Commercial Custom Energy Efficiency Program Impact Evaluation Study,
the research found an Ex Post Net Annual Energy Savings of 47.3 GWh (28.7
GWh for 2015, and 18.6 GWh for 2016), with a net-to-gross ration of 93%. The
Low Income Weatherization HVAC and Solar Evaluation Study found $32 annual
bill savings for deep retrofits with HVAC replacements, $22 annual bill savings for
HVAC replacements only, and $345 for solar panel installations (paid through
State of California).
For 2019, SMUD began two evaluation studies for 2019. This includes:
• The Home Electricity Reports Evaluation Study
• The Residential HVAC Rebates Evaluation Study

Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Eneray Savings
SMUD uses previous experience and previous M&V studies to determine program
savings first. Secondly, it uses calculations or deemed savings through calculations.
TRM energy savings are used if SMUD savings are not available for a particular
measure.

San Francisco Overview
Hetch Hetchy Power manages a portfolio of electric generation, which includes the
SFPUC's Hetch Hetchy Water and Power system, which generates an average of
1.6 million MWh of clean hydroelectric power each year, 23 municipal solar
photovoltaic installations (8.1 MW), and 2 biogas cogeneration facilities (3.1
MW). Hetch Hetchy Power has made a commitment to energy efficiency as its
highest priority resource.
Historically, Hetch Hetchy Power's energy efficiency programs mainly have
targeted its municipal customers, and most of its programs have been provided at
no charge to these civic agencies. Today,fee-for-service programs represent a
growing portion of energy efficiency offerings. Hetch Hetchy Power is also
developing new programs for its growing residential and commercial customer
sectors.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-149
UB-219
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
This year's energy savings are primarily derived from completion of a number of
comprehensive HVAC and lighting retrofits of municipal buildings located
throughout the city, including a major LED lighting retrofit at the De Young Museum
and a large boiler project at Laguna Honda Hospital. Additionally, Hetch Hetchy
Power continues to achieve significant savings through LED streetlight retrofits.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
Energy efficiency has been an essential component of Hetch Hetchy Power's
resource portfolio for more than a decade. In the current reporting period, FY
2017-18, completed energy efficiency projects are estimated to save 4,258 MWh
(net savings) of electricity per year, at a utility cost of $5.2 million. Hetch Hetchy
Power's energy efficiency projects also achieve significant natural gas savings
each year, which are accounted for separately from this report.
Program level highlights for FY 2017-18 include:
• Direct-install style retrofits provided most of the reported electricity savings,
including HVAC upgrades at various fire stations, Laguna Honda Hospital, and
major Real Estate Division buildings and a large LED lighting upgrade at the
De Young Museum.
• 12,390 streetlights were replaced with LED technology. Hetch Hetchy Power
plans to eventually convert all of its 18,000 streetlights to LED.
• Hetch Hetchy Power's annual report benchmarking the energy performance of
San Francisco's municipal buildings includes 492 buildings representing almost
49.5 million square feet of building area.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
Hetch Hetchy Power's energy efficiency programs are generally tailored to the
particular customer (almost all of which are other City departments), because most
of these customers are large, and have varied property characteristics. These
programs include:
• Direct-Install Program: This program provides complete retrofit services to
targeted municipal customers, usually at no cost to the customer. The program
focuses on City agencies that are funded primarily through local tax receipts,
fees, and federal/state-funded programs. These customers are considered
hard-to-reach (due to limited access to capital and engineering, as well as
insufficient price signals).
• Civic Center Sustainability District: Through a partnership with the Clinton
Global Initiative, this program demonstrates green, renewable and energy
efficient technologies as a national model for sustainability in historic districts.
For energy efficiency projects, the program provides free energy audits,
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-150
UB-220
design, construction management, construction services, and full funding to
buildings in the City's Civic Center historic district.
• LED Street Light Conversion Project: The capital-funded program aims to
convert about 18,000 high pressure sodium street lights to LED lights. The
program will reduce energy use and maintenance costs, and improve
pedestrian and vehicular safety. The project scope includes the installation of
networked wireless controls, which will further reduce energy consumption via
fixture dimming. The project launched in FY15-1 b. This year, 12,390 streetlight
fixtures were replaced with LEDs, with a projected annual electricity savings of
3.3 million kWh.
• Green Commissioning and Design Review Program: Hetch Hetchy Power
provides commissioning and related green building design review services on a
fee-for-service basis for municipal new construction and major renovations. For
existing buildings, the program offers retro-commissioning services.
• Energy Benchmarking Program: San Francisco requires owners of non-
residential buildings over 10,000 square feet to annually benchmark and
disclose the energy performance of their buildings. In FY 17-18, Power
Enterprise released its seventh annual report benchmarking the energy
performance of San Francisco's municipal buildings, including 492 buildings
representing nearly 49.5 million square feet of building area.
Residential Programs
Hetch Hetchy Power primarily serves municipal loads. Hetch Hetchy Power
provides distribution service to the former military installations at Treasure Island
and Hunters Point, both of which are in the process of being redeveloped to
residential/commercial uses. Additional energy efficiency activities for this new
residential use is limited as these new units are being built to the latest code and
energy efficiency standards.
Complementary Programs
Hetch Hetchy Power offers several related programs, among them:
• Municipal Renewable Program: Under this program, Hetch Hetchy Power
directly installs, maintains and operates solar PV systems on municipal
buildings throughout the City and County of San Francisco; and
• GoSolarSF: The program provides incentive payments to San Francisco
residents and businesses installing rooftop solar projects. The program
includes a component for low income residents, which complements a
statewide program administered by Grid Alternatives, a nonprofit
organization.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
Historically,the majority of energy efficiency retrofit projects funded by Hetch
Hetchy Power have included an individual M&V study following the International
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-151
UB-221
Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). These projects have
included an M&V plan with a sampling plan, a logging plan, an approach to data
recovery and analysis, and a written report.
Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Energy Savings
Hetch Hetchy Power's mostly direct-install energy efficiency portfolio allows it to
report energy savings based on site-specific engineering studies with detailed ex
ante savings estimates. These studies base savings on on-site collected data for
hours of operation, nameplate data for replaced equipment, and detailed site-
specific costs. As such, Hetch Hetchy Power assumes an "existing conditions"
baseline for energy savings calculations, and accordingly, Hetch Hetchy Power
does not separately claim savings from code advocacy.

Shasta Lake Overview
The City of Shasta Lake (CSL) invests its Public Benefit funds to promote positive
community impacts by promoting electricity-saving measures. CSL utilizes a
comprehensive set of traditional rebate programs available to all customer under
retrofit projects. Participation was relatively low in this reporting cycle, which is
likely driven by persistent impacts from the economic downturn and the income
demographics of the community.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
CSL offered the Keep Your Cool (KYC) Program to commercial customers in FY17
to encourage them to upgrade their older refrigeration equipment. The program
offers ECM motors, strip curtains,ASH controllers and other refrigeration measures
at no cost to the customer. There were no major program changes to CSLs
standard rebate programs offered to customers.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-154
UB-224
Program and Portfolio Highlights
The KYC program delivered 40% of the total kWh savings. This program is an
excellent way to serve small business customers. History has demonstrated that
direct install programs such as KYC are beneficial, and customers will take
advantage of no-cost programs.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
CSL manages a comprehensive energy efficiency incentive program for
commercial customers focusing on energy efficiency and peak load reduction.
Rebates are available for upgraded lighting, HVAC, appliances, refrigeration
equipment, electronics, and in cases where an analysis is performed rebates can
be offered for additional equipment that reduces energy use and/or demand.
On-site energy audits are provided by CSL energy specialists. Energy efficiency
measures are recommended, and additional visits are completed upon request.
• Commercial/Industrial Lighting Program: CSL offers rebates to business owners
who invest in the installation of energy efficiency lighting upgrades. There is a
prevalence of inefficient lighting throughout the city and most high bay lighting
uses high intensity discharge fixtures instead of more efficiency fluorescent or
LED fixtures.
• Commercial HVAC: The City offers rebates to commercial customers for energy
efficient HVAC upgrades.
• Commercial Refrigeration: Rebates are available to improve the efficiency of
commercial refrigeration systems.
• Commercial Appliances: Rebates are available for energy efficient cooking
equipment such as ovens, dishwashers, fryers, griddles, etc.
• Commercial Electronics: The City offers rebates for uninterrupted power
supplies, plug-load occupancy sensors and smart power strips.
• Commercial/Industrial Custom Program: CSL offers rebates to business owners
based on site-specific consumption. Rebates are tailored to the individual
business owner's needs based on the audit and the potential energy savings
associated with the customer project.
• Keep Your Cool Program: The Keep Your Cool program offers ECM motors,
strip curtains, ASH controllers and other refrigeration measures at no cost to the
customer.
Residential Programs
CSL manages a comprehensive energy efficiency incentive program for residential
customers. Rebates are offered for the installation of various energy efficiency
measures, such as lighting, HVAC, appliances and weatherization. On-site energy
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-155
UB-225
audits are provided by CSL energy specialists. Energy efficiency measures are
recommended, and additional visits are completed upon request.
• Residential Lighting Program: CSL offers rebates to homeowners who install
ENERGY STAR® qualified LED lamps/bulbs, ceiling fans and LED holiday lights.
• Residential HVAC Program: CSL offers rebates to homeowners who install high
performance heat pumps, central air-conditioners, room air-conditioners, or
whole house fans that exceed current state requirements. CSL also offers a
rebate for duct sealing when not required by code.
• Residential Equipment Program: CSL offers rebates to homeowners who
purchase new ENERGY STAR qualified products, including clothes washers,
room air conditioners, dishwashers, pool pumps, and refrigerators.
• Residential Weatherization Program: CSL offers rebates to homeowners who
invest in weatherizing their homes, including attic and wall insulation, window
treatments/replacement, air/duct sealing and radiant barriers.
• Residential Water Heater Rebate Program: CSL offers rebates to homeowners
who purchase a new, energy efficient electric water heater.
Complementary Programs
• Low-Income Programs: Lifeline monthly rate discount program and one-time bill
assistance known as SHARE
• Renewable Energy Programs: Focus on customized solar projects that benefit
the City
• Research, Development, and Demonstration: Focuses on LED lighting in various
applications, community solar charging station(s) and latest HVAC applications
" in City owned facilities
• Electric Vehicles: Support of local business in conversion of combustion engine
vehicles to electric vehicles
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
The CSL is planning to complete EM&V in FY19 by working with several other
utilities to gain economies of scale. CSL has received a proposal from an EM&V
company and is reviewing the scope of work.
Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Energy Savings
CSL has relied heavily on the savings listed in the Technical Resource Manual. Non-
residential lighting, custom projects and non-deemed measures utilize custom
savings calculations.

Silicon Valley Power Overview
Silicon Valley Power is unique in its mix of customers. While 84% of the customers
are residential, over 90% of the utility retail sales are to commercial and industrial
customers. Approximately 74% of our electric load is attributable to our largest
"Key" Customers. Over 46% comes from data centers. Historically, it is those
customers, including the large data centers, who implement a few large projects
each year that make up the majority of our energy savings for the year.
Combined with this unique customer mix and our mild climate, very little energy
savings comes from the residential sector, as we do not have a high residential air
conditioning load which often makes up a large percentage of energy portfolio
savings in other climate zones.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-158
UB-228
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
In Fiscal Year 2017-2018, the following changes were made to Silicon Valley
Power's energy efficiency programs:
• Residential Electric Dryer Rebate Program: This program combined both the
previous Emerging Technology Award Winning Dryer program and the Heat
Pump Clothes Dryer program under a single rebate program. The rebate is
now $100 for any Energy Star-qualified electric clothes dryer having a
Combined Energy Factor (CEF) of 4.3-5.4. For Energy Star-qualified clothes
dryers with a CEF of 5.5 or greater, the rebate is $200.
• Commercial Prescriptive Lighting Rebate: We began offering a prescriptive
rebate for three types of LED retrofits: LED integral troffers at $30, LED high
bay fixtures at $200, and LED low bay fixtures at $125. These three
categories of lamp have the lowest program adoption rates and require a
higher incentive than provided through the standard lighting rebate calculator
to encourage adoption. The simplicity of a prescriptive rebate also makes this
easier for contractors to sell.
• Emerging Technologies Grant: The program provides grants to encourage
businesses to develop new energy-related technologies. The incentive structure
was redesigned to increase the incentive to $0.35/kWh but the project caps
remain in place. The incentive is now paid in two payments. The first payment
of 50% of the incentive is paid upon completion of the project and the second
payment of 50% is paid upon verification of energy savings. This is intended
to encourage customers to implement innovative energy efficiency projects and
minimize some of the risks involved if the savings do not materialize as
expected, which has been one of the barriers to program adoption.
• Data Center Efficiency Program –This program targets data centers with IT
server load greater than 350 kW or cooling load greater than 100 tons. A
peak demand savings component of $150/kW will be added to the program
performance incentive and the project cap will be raised to $750,000 for
projects completed in FY 2017-2018.
• Commercial New Construction Rebate: This program provides a rebate to
customers who exceed Title 24 by 10% for the measure being incentivized, in
line with our other prescriptive rebates for retrofit projects. A Design Team
Incentive was introduced to match the Investor Owned Utilities' program as
follows: at 10% savings, the incentive rate is $0.033 per kWh. The incentive
rate increases as the savings increase, up to 30% savings and $0.10 per kWh.
The incentive rate remains at $0.10 per kWh until the project savings exceed
40%. At 40% and above, the incentive rate is $0.13 per kWh. The Design
Team Incentive will also include an incentive of $33 per peak kW reduction.
The Incentive is capped at $50,000.
• Customer Directed Rebate–This program provides incentives based on actual
energy saved for energy efficiency measures that do not fall into SVP's
standard business rebate programs. A peak demand incentive of $150 kW
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-159
UB-229
was introduced. The project cap was raised to $750,000 for projects
completed in FY 2017-2018.
• Residential Attic Insulation Rebate–This program was a new program
addition for FY 2017-2018 and pays $0.10/square foot for attic insulation of
R-38 over conditioned space in single family homes or in multifamily homes
where the attic space is completely separated from that of the other
multifamily units. Eligible customers must have electric heat either in the form of
a heat pump or electric resistance heat and no more than R19 existing attic
insulation.
• Overall, net energy savings from Silicon Valley Power's energy efficiency
programs was lower in FY 2017-2018 than it was in FY 2016-2017 due to
fewer large projects completed. However, energy savings still exceeded the
utility's adopted energy efficiency goals. Several large projects were
underway toward the end of FY 2017-2018 that are anticipated to close in FY
2018-2019 and savings from that program year are expected to be much
higher.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
In Fiscal Year 2017-2018, Silicon Valley Power customers completed a total of 20
custom incentive projects under the Customer Directed Rebate and Date Center
Rebate programs. These projects contributed over 10 million kWh in energy
savings to the program's overall goal.
The Customer Directed Rebate and Data Center Rebate programs were
developed many years ago in recognition of the unique customer base served by
Silicon Valley Power and provides unique opportunities for energy-efficiency
projects that may not otherwise fit into the utility's standard rebate and customer
assistance offerings. Any energy efficiency project that decreases energy
consumption at a facility in Santa Clara and is not already covered under a
prescriptive rebate program may qualify. Customers must provide a measurement
and verification plan that is approved by Silicon Valley Power before work can
begin. Pre- and post-inspection and validation of energy consumption is required.
Under the data center program, performance payments are made annually to
ensure savings are actually achieved, as data centers do not always build out as
planned and occupancy can vary. The performance incentive component has been
very well-received by Silicon Valley Power's customers, as the rebate is paid to
the facility's operating budget annually after the initial capital project is closed.
This was a benefit to the customer that utility staff did not anticipate and is being
carried into other program design in the future.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
• Deep Energy Retrofit Pilot Program –This pilot is targeted at customers who
are interested in deep energy retrofits and able to make a commitment to a
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-160
UB-230
multi-year effort in reaching an energy savings of at least 30%. Incentives
match the levels offered for the same measures incentivized under SVP's other
programs, with a range from $0.02-$0.20 per kWh in first year savings. The
program target is to enroll three customers.
• Enhanced Ventilation Controls Demonstration Projects–The program is targeted
at smaller customers with rooftop package units of 15 tons or smaller. This
customer segment is not at the forefront of adopting new technology. In order
to educate customers on the technology and validate the energy savings, we
are aiming for demonstration projects at customers' facilities and will fund up
to the lesser of 100% of the project cost or $3,500. The customers are
required to allow SVP to install metering equipment to validate energy savings
and to write a case study on the project. The case study will be used in
promoting the rebate program to other customers and educating them on the
energy savings and payback of the project.
• Emerging Technologies Grant: The program provides grants to encourage
businesses to develop new energy-related technologies. The incentive is
$0.35/kWh, paid in two payments. The first payment of 50% of the incentive
will be paid upon completion of the project and the second payment of 50%
will be paid upon verification of energy savings. This is intended to encourage
customers to implement innovative energy efficiency projects and minimize
some of the risks involved if the savings do not materialize as expected, which
has been one of the barriers to program adoption. SVP is actively researching
emerging technologies and reaching out to customers to inform them about the
program and appropriate emerging technologies for their business.
• Commercial New Construction Rebate: This program provides a rebate to
customers who exceed Title 24 by 10% for the measure being incentivized, in
line with our other prescriptive rebates for retrofit projects. A Design Team
Incentive matching the Investor Owned Utilities' program is provided as follows:
at 10% savings, the incentive rate is $0.033 per kWh. The incentive rate
increases as the savings increase, up to 30% savings and $0.10 per kWh. The
incentive rate remains at $0.10 per kWh until the project savings exceed 40%.
At 40% and above,the incentive rate is $0.13 per kWh. The Design Team
Incentive, capped at $50,000, also includes an incentive of $33 per peak kW
reduction.
• Business Energy Audits: Provides free energy efficiency audits to business
customers. Energy & Resource Solutions administers this and other business PBC
programs.
• Business Rebates: Encourages businesses to install energy efficient lighting, air
conditioners, motion sensors, programmable thermostats, food service
equipment, etc. The programs are occasionally changed to match statewide
programs.

• Enhanced Ventilation Controls Rebate: This program provides an incentive of
$160 per ton for adding enhanced ventilation controls to HVAC rooftop
packaged units 15 tons or smaller.
• Small Business Efficiency Services Program –This program is targeted at small
business customers, and provides assistance in identifying energy efficiency
projects, selecting and managing contractors, and help with filling out rebate
application paperwork. The program also provides a 35% incentive for
lighting and HVAC rebates, provided that customers to install the lighting
measures within 6 months of program enrollment and HVAC measures within
12 months of enrollment in order to receive the additional incentive.
• Controls Program –This program is available for projects where at least 80%
of the savings come from the control strategies. Incentives are paid on a
performance basis with 6 payments made over 5 years at a rate of
$0.02/kWh saved annually, capped at 65% of total project cost, which is
above the statewide program cap of 50%. The first payment is made upon
project completion and each additional annual payment will be subject to
commissioning of the controls system and validation of persistent energy
savings.
• Public Facilities' Energy Efficiency Program: SVP provides technical assistance
and financial incentives for the expansion, remodel, and new construction of
City of Santa Clara buildings. Included in this program are higher levels of
rebates for qualifying equipment and energy management assistance.
• Compressed Air Management Program was run from 2007-2010 and
provided successful implementation of energy efficiency measures in
compressed air systems. It was reintroduced in FY 2015-2016, following an
RFP issued in December 2013, and is ongoing.
• Keep Your Cool, which focused on replacement of refrigeration gaskets and
use of strip curtains in commercial refrigeration facilities was launched in 2007.
A second version of this program ran in FY 2014/2015 and focused on strip
curtains, efficient refrigeration motors, and LED case lighting. The latest version
was launched in April 2017 and adds additional energy efficiency measures.
• Specialized Commercial and Industrial Operational Optimization Program -
This program provides engineering support and analysis to large customer
facilities to effectively engage these customers in taking a long-term view of
developing energy savings strategies geared towards implementing measures
that will continually optimize the operations of their facilities. The program
also provides project management support to customers during the
implementation phase to make the recommended energy efficiency
improvements and data analytics support to assist with ongoing savings
validation.
• Energy Efficient Water Systems Program - This program provides engineering
support and analysis to large customer facilities with cooling towers, significant
wastewater systems, and significant pumping loads to assist in implementing
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-162
UB-232
energy efficiency measures which will also likely result in water conservation.
The program provides an audit of the facilities and project management
support to customers during the implementation phase to make the
recommended energy efficiency improvements and validate the energy
savings.
• Small Business Exterior Lighting Program –This program provides a free
snapshot audit of exterior lighting efficiency opportunities. It then provides free
LED exterior lights to eligible small businesses. The businesses are responsible
for the installation cost and can use their own staff,the contractor of their
choice, or one of the contractors working with the program provider.
• City Revolving Energy Efficiency Loan Program –Established a revolving loan
fund for qualifying energy efficiency measures at City owned and occupied
facilities. Funds were repaid on utility bills through the energy savings
achieved by the project. Total available funding was $250,000, but
individual projects are capped at a lower level in order to ensure multiple
projects could be implemented. Project paybacks must be under 5 years to
qualify. Utilization of the program was low.
• Data Center Efficiency Program –This program targets data centers with IT
server load greater than 350 kW or cooling load greater than 100 tons. The
incentive is paid as a performance incentive, where the customer will receive
five annual payments based on actual measured energy savings, with the first
payment made three months after project completion. The incentive payment
is $0.03 per kWh in energy savings.
• Customer Directed Rebate–This program provides incentives based on actual
energy saved for energy efficiency measures that do not fall into SVP's
standard business rebate programs. Lighting with network lighting controls will
be removed from the Customer Directed rebate program and will now be
covered under the standard lighting rebate.
• Commercial Lighting Rebates–Incentives are determined through a lighting
rebate calculator based on energy savings exceeding Title 24. This is
available online so that customers and contractors can easily enter information
about the project, facility, and operating hours in order to determine the
amount of the rebate.
• Commercial Prescriptive Lighting Rebate: We offer a prescriptive rebate for
three types of LED retrofits: LED integral troffers, LED high bay fixtures, and
LED low bay fixtures. These three categories of lamp have the lowest program
adoption rates and require a higher incentive than provided through the
standard lighting rebate calculator to encourage adoption. The simplicity of a
prescriptive rebate also makes this easier for contractors to sell.

• ENERGY STAR Residential Heat Pump Electric Water Heater Rebate–SVP
offers a maximum rebate of $500 per household for the purchase of an
ENERGY STAR-qualified electric heat pump water heater.
• Residential In-Home Energy Audits, Education, and Hot Line: The program
encourages residents to become more energy efficient and reduce their energy
bills. Staff members visit homes and provide information and energy saving
items. Also, the SVP information booth will continue to be displayed at several
City events, providing education on energy efficiency and solar electric
generation systems to residents.
• Residential Attic Insulation Rebate–This program pays $0.10/square foot for
attic insulation of R-38 over conditioned space in single family homes or in
multifamily homes where the attic space is completely separated from that of
the other multifamily units. Eligible customers must have electric heat either in
the form of a heat pump or electric resistance heat and no more than R19
existing attic insulation.
• Residential Electric Dryer Rebate Program: This program provides a rebate of

Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
Silicon Valley Power did not conduct an EM&V study in FY 2017-2018, but is in
the process of developing a contract for an EM&V study on its Exterior Lighting
program. The study will be available in March 2020. All past EM&V studies
conducted on behalf of Silicon Valley Power can be found on the California
Municipal Utilities Association website.
Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Eneray Savings
Silicon Valley Power uses the California Publicly Owned Utilities Technical
Reference Manual (TRM) for the majority of its energy savings. Where no savings
value exists, Silicon Valley Power uses actual savings verified through metering or
an approved measurement and verification plan. In the case of lighting projects,
Silicon Valley Power uses a lighting calculator that utilizes actual operating hours.
A copy of the calculator can be found at http://www.siliconvalleypower.com/for-

Trinity Overview
Created in 1982 as a result of the Trinity River Division Act of 1955, in which
Congress provided mitigation for the economic devastation to the local economy
resulting from the Act.
The Congressional mitigation provides the Trinity Public Utilities District (TPUD)
enough low cost and clean hydroelectric power to meet its entire load for the next
several decades, but forbids the TPUD from selling any of the energy it does not
need to meet load.
TPUD serves a small economically depressed area in northern California consisting
of approximately 7,300 meters in mountainous terrain covering an area the size
of Delaware. TPUD is comprised of nine small substations serving 600 miles of
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-167
UB-237
distribution line. TPUD has a peak coincident demand of approximately 25
megawatts, which may occur in winter or summer. More than 60 percent of TPUD's
load is residential.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
There are no major changes to TPUD's Programs or Portfolio for this reporting

Truckee Donner Overview
TDPUD serves electricity and water to the greater Truckee area comprised of
approximately 44 square miles in eastern Nevada County and approximately 1.5
square miles in adjacent Placer County. TDPUD is governed by a locally elected
Board of Directors consisting of 5 members with staggered 4-year terms and
operates on a calendar year budget. TDPUD is a transmission-dependent utility
within NV Energy's control area and secures electric resources primarily through
the Utah Associated Municipal Power System (UAMPS). TDPUD has been successful
in the past in transitioning to renewable energy sources, keeping rates stable, and
investing in accessible, cost-effective, energy efficiency programs.
In 2018, TDPUD continued to invest in public benefit, low income and renewable
power programs spending over 2.85% of retail sales on energy efficiency
programs. TDPUD's energy efficiency results included a first year 'Gross' energy
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 A-170
UB-240
savings of 0.17%of retail sales, first year 'Net' energy savings of 0.13% of retail
sales, and TRC of 0.93.
TDPUD treats energy efficiency as an electric resource ('first loading order') and is
therefore motivated by actual savings. However,the E3 model does not consider
actual savings and the E3 'Gross' savings are based on codes & standard
baselines (not what was actually replaced). Thus,the savings and associated cost-
effectiveness from E3 understate the true value of the energy efficiency resource.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
• Energy savings and program spending decreased in 201 8 due to a
restructuring of the department and a change in personnel.
• This is the fourth year that the EISA (Federal) lighting standards were applied
as a baseline to screw in bulb measures and TDPUD continues to see a
dramatic change in associated Residential programs (-37% of our portfolio
based on annual kWh savings).
• The E3 'Gross' and 'Net' energy efficiency results that the TDPUD is able to
claim in this report are diverging further and further away from the actual
results. TDPUD will continue to use energy efficiency performance as a
resource as the primary benchmark for program design.
• The community in Truckee still has a significant amount of older lighting
technology in our community (T12's, incandescent, etc.). Despite the current
Title 24 code and claimable savings methodology, TDPUD will target these
loads for cost-effective retrofits.
• TDPUD began an AMI installation project this year that is targeted to be
completed in Q3 2019. We have begun to explore behavioral and data
driven programs to maximize the customer facing value of this asset.
• The annual Holiday Light program was converted this year from an exchange
program to a rebate program, in partnership with our local retailers.
Customer engagement was still very high and they continued to recycle their
old incandescent bulbs despite it no longer being a requirement for
participation.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
• TDPUD's Residential Energy Survey's remain a very popular program with
customers. The 'visual survey' comes complete with over 20 free energy and
water saving measures– including up to 50 free LED bulbs - that are delivered
at the end of the survey for free. This program allows customers to implement
the low hanging fruit' immediately and the educational component empowers
customers to pursue more complicated energy efficiency opportunities.
• Residential lighting remains a critical program area (TDPUD is 89% residential
with a large number of vacation homes). TDPUD continues to effectively deliver
residential lighting through our Residential Energy Survey's, low-income
program, at numerous events throughout the community, and at our office. The
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 1 3th Edition— 2019 A-171
UB-241
vast majority of light bulbs delivered to our customers is done face-to-face and
the customers must ask for the light bulbs. As stated previously, customers have
embraced LED lighting and favor it over the CFL technology.
• TDPUD's LED Holiday Light Program remains very popular with -3% of our
customers visiting the conservation department in less than 1-month. Not only is
the program cost-effective and very well received by our customers, but
TDPUD takes the face-to-face opportunity to educate customers about other
programs and to distribute free residential lighting.

intermediary agency and are eligible for a one-time credit equal to their
highest energy charge in the past 12-months (not to exceed $200) upon
completion of the required Residential Energy Survey (RES). TDPUD's income-
qualified program achieves a solid return on investment for both the customer
and utility.
• Renewable Energy Programs: TDPUD has a successfully fully subscribed our
SB1 Solar Rebate program for our customers. TDPUD also achieved an
estimated 67% Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) in 2017 using the
methodology defined by the California Energy Commission. This number would
be higher if we considered carbon-free resources. TDPUD has been able to
transition our energy resource portfolio from primarily fossil fuel based in
2008 to a diversified mix that includes wind, solar, landfill gas, and small
hydro while maintaining stable and competitive rates.
• Research, Development, and Demonstration: It is not practical for a small utility
like TDPUD to run direct RD&D programs. However, through the Northern
California Power Agency, TDPUD does participate in the American Public
Power Associations DEED R&D program, the FLEX lab project and TDPUD Staff
does investigate new energy and water conservation products and programs.
TDPUD is researching innovative ways to capture residential EV charging data
other than cost-prohibitive electric utility meters.
• Electric Vehicles: TDPUD installed two Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) public
access charging stations locations in 2015. Each location is monetized and has
two, Level 2 PEV charging stations and are open to the public. One location is
in the Truckee Train Depot in historic downtown Truckee and the other is
located in the Pioneer Commerce Center. TDPUD has partnered with the
Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) on a Truckee-Tahoe PEV Readiness
Plan and TRPA received a $200,000 grant from the California Energy
Commission (CEC). TDPUD also offers a rebate up to $500 off Residential
charging stations.

Turlock Overview
TID continues to help customers achieve energy savings through the implementation
and promotion of a variety of energy efficiency programs for all rate classes.
Many programs provide rebate opportunities to encourage customers to conserve
energy. A significant portion of the energy efficiency measures adopted by our
customers were implemented by industrial and commercial segments. The majority
of our savings are derived from LED lighting. However, TID provides a variety of
options for businesses that are looking to make changes in their existing systems by
making upgrades or retrofitting their existing facility. Rebates are available that
address areas such as lighting, compressed air systems, refrigeration systems,
motors, gaskets, chillers and many other systems components.

Major Program and Portfolio Changes
There were no major changes to our programs in 2018. However, we did increase
our budget for our air conditioning rebates for our residential customers. Our
customers appreciate this program and we were able to increase our savings with
our HVAC rebate program.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
TID's behavioral modification program, home energy analysis, had the largest
savings impact of our residential programs. The home energy analysis reports,
graph how each household is performing compared to similar homes, which has
helped our customers save over 16 million kWh's. Our customers are reacting to
the home energy analysis by installing energy efficiency measures and
implementing behavioral changes. In addition to the analysis reports, TID is
pleased to provide our customers with a customized web portal. The web portal
includes an interactive home energy audit tool and provides helpful energy saving
tips.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
Commercial, Industrial and Agricultural Customer Programs
• Commercial LED rebate programs: TID offers our non-residential customers a
lighting rebates that is paid based on kWh savings. Our non-residential LED
rebate program is 53% of our overall savings.
Residential Programs
• Home energy analysis-Comprehensive: TID supplies our residential customers,
a home energy analysis (HEA) report each month. The HEA provides the
customer with information regarding their monthly usage compared to similar
homes in our community or compared to their prior year(s) usage. In addition,
a web portal gives our customers access to customize their home energy use,
using the energy audit tool, and access to helpful energy saving tips.
Complementary Programs
ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS:
• TID CARES Program: An energy assistance program for qualified customers to
receive a discount on their monthly energy bills. The CARES program reduces
the monthly customer charge of $17 to $6, a savings $1 1, and provides a
15% discount on the first 800 kWh energy charges.
• Medical Rate Assistance: The District provides a 50% discount on the first 500-
kWh energy charges for customers who use additional energy due to life-
support equipment or a medical condition.
• Weatherization: TID has contracted with organizations within our community to

guidelines. The program enables families to reduce their energy bills by
making their homes more energy efficient.
TID RENEWABLE ENERGY PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
• Tuolumne Wind Project: TID purchased a 136.6 megawatt wind facility in
2008
• Solar: TID offered solar rebates for residential customers that are interested.
• Solar: In 2009, TID installed a 70.7 kW array of photovoltaic panels atop the
newly renovated parking structure.
• Small Hydroelectric: TID was the first in California to construct small-scale
hydroelectric power plants using its own canal system and those of neighboring
irrigation districts that were not in the retail electric business. Combined the
eight plants constructed, beginning in the mid 1970's provide a total of 20
megawatts of electric power. TID also owns and operates a 5 megawatt
hydroelectric power plant at La Grange Dam on the Tuolumne River.
• Geothermal: In 1984,TID acquired an interest in a geothermal power plant in
the Geysers Steam Field located in California's Lake County. The project has a
capacity of generating 6.8 megawatts.
• In November of 2015, TID executed a 20 year Purchase Power Agreement for
the full output of a 54 MW solar facility. The facility started generating mid-
2017.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
TID is currently working on our 2018 EM&V.
Our 2014 & 2015 EM&V is available at: https://www.cmua.org/emv-reports
Major Differences or Diversions from CA POU TRM for Eneray Savings
TID has primarily used the Technical Reference Manual to determine our savings.
The majority of our commercial and industrial savings are driven by lighting
projects. TID calculates the savings for each project, since our lighting rebate is
paid by first year kWh savings. TID calculates the cost-effectiveness using
levelized utility cost for each program and as an overall portfolio. In 2018, our
portfolio utility cost was $.02/kWh.

Ukiah Overview
The City of Ukiah (the City) is committed to helping their customers manage energy
use through energy education and a comprehensive menu of energy efficiency
incentives. The City also provides funding to assist income-qualified customers.
In recent years, incentives were scaled back to reduce the rate at which PB funds
were being utilized after the large PB balance being carried forward had been
utilized. The reduced incentives slowed participation more than anticipated,
resulting in a decrease in customer participation. The City has developed a
strategy for marketing the programs to increase awareness and participation.
Once implemented, the rebates levels will be assessed again and adjusted if
necessary, to find the right rebate strategy that will utilize PB funds at the desired
rate.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 1 3th Edition— 2019 A-181
UB-251
The City's customer base has not typically responded well to a "standard" energy
efficiency incentive program. The main reason for this is many customers do not
have the discretionary income to fund energy efficiency projects. Residential and
commercial customers enthusiastically participate when the cost of their energy
efficiency project is covered in full by the City's incentive programs. The City has
responded by offering programs in the past to provide programs that deliver
energy savings at no cost to residential and commercial customers.
There has also been an increased interest by developers to initiate new
construction projects/developments to provide quality housing for the City's low-
income and senior citizens.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
There were no major program changes in FYI 8. The City is planning increased
marketing of EE programs to encourage more customer participation. The City is
also considering adjusting rebate caps and offering a Low-Income Direct Install
program.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
The Commercial Lighting Program delivered the greatest percentage of savings in
FY17-18, accounting for 86% of the total savings. The City has worked diligently
over the years to build a network of lighting contractors and strived to keep them
engaged in the program. By restructuring the incentives and caps, the result has
reduced participation in the program by some contractors.

Vernon Overview
The City of Vernon, in climate zone 8,finished conducting a comprehensive
Integrated Resource Plan. The results of this study will guide the Utility's decision
making in the procurement of resources and delivery of energy efficiency services.
VPU has identified action plans to implement new energy efficiency measures
throughout its city-owned facilities. VPU realized approximately 3 GWh of energy
efficiency savings. VPU has a goal to double its energy efficiency from FY 17/18
and contribute toward the statewide goal of doubling energy efficiency. VPU also
has a goal is to achieve 6 GWh, double the amount, by implementing the
following energy efficiency action plans in cooperation with other City
departments:
1) Continue existing energy efficiency programs and educate customers on
more efficient uses of electricity;
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-186
UB-256
2) Perform energy efficiency upgrades at all city-owned facilities as needed;
and
3) Purchase energy efficient transformers, capacitors and other distribution
equipment when appropriate.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
Vernon Public Utilities has not made any a major changes in their programs but the
2017/18 fiscal year has pointed to the business community that energy saving
can be achieved by looking into great detail to the operation process side of the
their respectable businesses. The City of Vernon business community continues to
explore smart efficient ways to be resourceful. By focusing on more projects like
compressors, heat conversion, and refrigeration controls and not always relying on
the lighting aspect of savings. As our customers get smarter and efficient to
increase their bottom line,Vernon Public Utilities has been a key ally to assist in
any way possible to be more efficient. The challenges for VPU is that our customer
baseline is 99 percent commercial/industrial which limits the type
measures/projects can be implemented each year without proper planning or
funds being allocated for each project and/or budgeting for capital
improvements. This creates a challenge to meet our projected goals every year.
Program and Portfolio Highlights
This year highlights have been spread out to the lighting sector. Since Vernon
Public Utilities customer base is consist of a lot of long-standing buildings. We had
wide range of small to large companies convert to LED's. Our lighting program
was really popular this year and a lot of companies has benefited.
Commercial,Industrial&Agricultural Programs
• Customer Incentive Program: Fund the exploration and implementation of
energy efficient technologies and equipment, such as lighting technologies,
variable speed drives, air compressors, motors, refrigeration, and air
conditioning. Provide cash incentives to businesses that install energy efficient
technologies.
• Customer-Directed Program: Fund customized projects demonstrating energy
and cost savings and/or commercial market potential in the area of energy
efficiency. Customers must fund at least 25 percent of total project cost.
Projects are only eligible if they do not qualify for any of the other programs.
• Energy Education & Demonstration Workshops: Provide customers with an
array of information resources to encourage energy efficiency measures
through energy efficiency workshops and other forms of customer outreach.
• Energy Audit Program: Provide on-site audits for commercial/industrial
businesses. A comprehensive audit includes an analysis of energy usage and
costs, identification of energy conservation measures, and recommended
actions.

Complementary Programs
Distributed Solar
VPU is in the process of designing a Green Power Program. The Program will
allow Vernon residents and businesses to meet their own sustainability goals by
purchasing clean and affordable renewable energy through this program. The
Program enables customers to offset all or a portion of their electricity usage with
either renewable energy or renewable energy credits. In addition to the Green
Power Program VPU is investigating programs that will:
1) Install solar systems at city-owned facilities and partner with customers to
install at their facilities;
2) Evaluate a community solar product offering; and
3) Assist customers with installation of rooftop solar systems under existing net-
metering tariffs.
Transportation Electrification
VPU is working to incentivize transportation electrification through investments in
electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The presence and convenience of EV
charging stations will motivate public purchases of electric vehicles, having a direct
impact on local air quality conditions. The City of Vernon lacks open space (parks,
libraries etc.) requiring greater participation from Vernon businesses for siting and
installation of EV charging stations. Load impacts from EVs are minimal today, by
2030 VPU intends to develop a plan to increase EVs to add 1.7 MW of load
representing less than 0.5% of energy demand through cooperation with other
City departments to:
1) Explore partnering with customers and car dealerships to install and
maintain EV charging stations at customer facilities;
2) Evaluate increasing the number of City-owned electric vehicles; and
3) Coordinate with local air quality agencies on available programs and
initiatives.
Demand Response and Energy Storage
Demand response is one of the ways customers can conserve energy by curtailing
electricity usage when it is most needed by the electric grid. Demand response
programs have proven to be an effective means for utilities to manage system
peaks by controlling customer loads. By participating in demand response
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 A-188
UB-258
programs, customers can help VPU achieve California GHG emissions reduction
goals and delay infrastructure investments by the utility. Further, customers can be
financially compensated for reducing usage when the price of energy is at its
highest.
VPU has a reliability driven interruptible load program, but no DR customer
programs based upon market pricing. Below is a list of demand response program
and energy storage action plans VPU intends to evaluate and undertake in the
coming years:
1) Implement a Voluntary Load Reduction Program offering discounted rates
to customers that reduce their load;
2) Provide customer education on demand response programs available
through the CAISO and encourage participation in these programs; and
3) Participate in strategic partnerships with customers to advance energy
storage opportunities.
Evaluation,Measurement& Verification Studies
The City of Vernon continues to have numerous projects this past fiscal year which
require an in depth analysis of the energy, measurement & verification of their
projects to prove the validity of the energy savings. Since we have the
distinctiveness of being a small commercial/industrial city, we can provide smart
and efficient reports to our customers proving their worth.

Victorville Overview
Victorville Municipal Utility Services (VMUS) was established to provide safe,
reliable and cost-effective service to non-residential customers that continue to
build new facilities located in the designated service territory. The peak demand
was 16.9 megawatts (1.8% more than last year) and the load factor was 70.4%.
Customers reside in climate zone 14 and all customers' facilities are less than
fifteen years old and met the applicable Title 24 requirements. The recent age of
these facilities provide less energy efficiency upgrade opportunities. VMUS
continued to offer customers the same energy efficiency programs.
Major Program and Portfolio Changes
VMUS continued to offer customers the same energy efficiency programs.

COST BENEFIT CALCULATIONS
The Cost/Benefit calculations in ESP are based on the Cost/Benefit tests described
in the California Standard Practice Manual. ESP calculates all the tests described
in that manual. The following describes process used to calculate these and the
other results in ESP.
Load Shape Assignment
The default Load Shape for a Measure is determined using a process that involves
multiple fields in the Measure:
• Current version of the Load Shape
• Load Shape is either local to the organization or "Shared"
• The following attributes of the Load Shape match the same attribute of the
Measure:
o Climate Zone, or "All"
o Building Type, or "All"
o End Use
o Sector, or "All"
• If an IOU is defined for the Load Shape, then the IOU for the Load Shape
must match the IOU for the organization
o If no IOU is defined for the Load Shape,the Load Shape is
available to all Measures
If more than one Load Shape matches the above criteria, ESP uses the following
additional process to determine the Load Shape for the Measure:
• ESP gives precedence to the following:
o Load Shapes local to your organization (as opposed to shared
Load Shapes)
o Specific Building Type over "All"
o Specific Sector over "Non-Residential" or "All"
o Specific Climate Zone over "All"
Dual Baseline Savings, Cost, and Measure Life
The calculations for Gross Savings, Cost, and Measure Life in ESP depend on the
selection of Measure Application Type and Delivery Type in the Applied Measure
Editor.

GSIA is a factor typically used to account for the following impacts:
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 B-5
UB-269
ESP®
• In-Service Rate–number of actual units installed
• Realization Rate–differences between actual and Measure savings based
on impact evaluation studies
Adjusted Gross Savings
The value for Adjusted Gross Savings is determined by the following formula:
Adjusted Gross Savings =Gross Savings * GS1A
The cost/benefit calculations use Adjusted Gross Savings to derive participant
avoided costs.
Net Savings
The value for Net Savings is determined by the following formula:
Net Savings =Adjusted Gross Savings *Net to Gross Percentage
The cost/benefit calculations use Net Savings to derive utility avoided costs.
Annual Data Calculations
Cost/benefit calculations for full calendar years and are in U.S. dollars. For each
hour of each year for the lifetime of the measure, ESP calculations the savings
benefit using the following formulas.
Adjusted Gross Savings Benefit
1. Multiply annual Adjusted Gross Savings (unit = kWh, kW, etc.) by the Load
Shape value which results in the Adjusted Gross savings for the hour.
Annual Savings(unit) *8760 Fraction(unit)=Hourly Savings(unit)
2. Multiply the hourly Adjusted Gross Savings by the hourly Retail Rate to get
the Adjusted Gross hourly benefit.
Hourly Savings(unit) *Retail Rate($/unit)=Hourly Benefits($)
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition— 2019 B-6
UB-270
ESP®
3. Add up the Adjusted Gross hourly benefits for a year to get annual
Adjusted Gross Benefit ($).
Net Savings Benefit
1. Multiply the annual Net savings by the Load Shape hourly value, which
results in the Net savings for that hour.
Annual Savings(unit) '8760 Fraction(unit)=Hourly Savings(unit)
2. Multiply the hourly Net savings by the hourly Avoided Cost rate to get the
Net hourly benefit ($).
Hourly Savings(unit) `Avoided Cost Rate($/unit)=Hourly Benefit(S)
ESP treats each type of savings this way; Adjusted Gross Savings, Net Savings,
Gas Savings, and Water Savings to get annual dollar benefit values.
Cost values in ESP are already annual dollar values and thus do not require 8760
hourly data or a rate for conversion.
In ESP, Retail Rate and Avoided Cost Rates in ESP are multi-year hourly values. As
a result, each year of the calculation uses different hourly values throughout the
measure lifetime.
In ESP, each Load Shape resource contains one year of hourly data. As a result,
each year of the calculation uses the same values for each year in the Measure
lifetime.
Cost Allocation
ESP allocates Portfolio and Program costs down to the Applied Measure level
according to the following rules. This allows the grouping of Applied Measures and
their associated cost/benefit values in different ways for analysis.
• Allocates Portfolio overhead costs to each Applied Measure in the Portfolio
in proportion to the Net Savings of the measure.
• Allocates Program overhead costs to each Applied Measure in the Program
in proportion to the Net Savings of each measure.
• Allocates Sector overhead costs to each Applied Measure according to the
Measure Sector setting, in proportion to the Net Savings of each measure.
Energy Efficiency in California's Public Power Sector: 13th Edition—2019 B-7

Applied Measures have a checkbox setting that prevents the allocation of any

Cost Benefit calculations will not run if it cannot allocate a cost to any Applied
Measures. For example, if you enter a cost in the Sector Overhead Residential
field, but there are no Residential Measures to allocate the overhead costs,the
cost benefit calculation will not run.This also applies to Portfolio Overhead and
Program Overhead costs.
Costs are applied to Low Income Applied Measures just like any other Applied
Measure even though they are presented separately from the main Portfolio in the
results.
Low-Income
Low income Applied Measures results are separate from the main Portfolio results.
So are Transmission & Distribution and Codes & Standards Applied Measures.
There is a setting in the Applied Measure, "Is Low Income." Select that option to
consider that Applied Measure as Low Income, even if its underlying Measure is not
of type Low Income.

Net Present Value Calculations
Formulas in the California Standard Practice Manual use a divisor of (1+d)'-',
which equals 1 in the first year. In other words,the application of the discount rate
should not happen in the first year. This is the implementation of the calculation in
ESP.
Important Note: Many spreadsheet cost benefit calculations, including the original
CMUA CET, use the Excel NPV function to calculate net present values. The NPV
function in Microsoft Excel assumes that payments occur at the end of the term,
which means the application of the discount rate is to first year costs and benefits.
This approach is technically incorrect.
