  1. The Northwest Energy Efficiency Market Better? Worse? About the Same? Tom Eckman Northwest Power and Conservation Council ACEEE Energy Efficiency As a Resource October 1, 2007

  2. 5th Plan Relies on Conservation and Renewable Resources to Meet Load Growth* *Actual future conditions (gas prices, CO2 control, conservation accomplishments) will change resource development schedule and amounts

  3. The 5th PlanCalls for 700 aMW of Savings From 2005 - 2009

  4. We Think All Returns Have Been Counted62 Utilities88% of Regional Load Are We Meeting The Plan’s Targets?

  5. Utility & SBC Administrator Program Savings (Net of NEEA)

  6. NEEA Savings

  7. Total Savings(Not Including Codes, Standards and Market Effects)

  8. We Met the 2005 Target! (and we’ll probably meet the 2006 target)

  9. BPA and Utilities Are Investing About $170 Million/yr in Energy Efficiency* *Equivalent to 1.75% of Regional Retail Revenues

  10. We’re Meeting The 5th Plan Targets At A Utility Cost of Under $15 MWH

  11. Which is A BARGAIN!

  12. Since 1980 Energy Efficiency Resources Met Half of PNW Load Growth

  13. The Road Ahead – Is This The Renaissance?

  14. The Road Ahead – A Brighter Future @ Lower Wattage Over 14 million CFLs sold in 2006 PNW has 16% of all US installs but just 4% of the US population

  15. The Road Ahead – Utilities Appear to Be “Ramping Up” Increasing its 2008 conservation goal by 40% Developing a “green utility” strategy Increasing its 2008 efficiency goal by 20% Expanding efficiency target “company wide” Doubling its annual efficiency budget in 2008 Funding extended through 2025 IOUs permitted to increase ETO energy efficiency funding over and above the 3% public purpose minimum Requires Washington utilities with more that 25,000 customers to set 10-year conservation acquisition targets to achieve all cost-effective savings

  16. Other Factors

  17. Natural Gas Prices Are Still High

  18. And Are Forecast to Remain So

  19. New Generating Resource Costs Are Higher

  20. Carbon Control Might Make 4% to 15% More Conservation “Cost-Effective” Additional 100 - 400 MWa Cost-Effective @ $10 - $40 Ton *Without “Certain” Carbon Control

  21. Any Questions?
