RTF Technical Support Needs for Small & Rural Utilities October 27, 2010 RTF Subcommittee Meeting
Agenda • Introductions • Review revised project timeline • Analysis methodology • Analysis findings • Next steps • Q&A
Interim Analysis Methodology • Characterize utilities • Clean/prune data (remove misc. “non-utility” entities) • Small (<15 aMW) • Rural (LDD recipients) • Residential (> 60%) • Use 2007-2010 PTR dataset as base • C&RD to be available for next round • PNGC and IDEA pools to be broken out in next round • Develop measure bins based on PTR categories • Develop high-level summaries of measure implementation behavior
Analysis Categories • Renewables • Measure Bins • Commercial Envelope • Commercial Equipment • Commercial Lighting • Commercial Third Party • Residential Appliances • Residential Envelope • Residential HVAC • Residential Water Heating • Low Income Weatherization • Agricultural • Industrial • Utility Systems • Traffic Signals
Utility Breakdowns • Small = 41 • Rural = 36 • Small or rural = 77 • Small/rural = 13 • Residential = 36 • Small/residential = 12 • Rural/residential = 16 • Small/rural/residential = 6
Potential Utility Selection Criteria • Utility characterization breakdowns • Volume of savings • Patterns of measure implementation of various utilities • Residential vs. commercial • Renewables vs. measures • Climate
Distribution of Utilities by Load & Customer Base (All Utilities)
Overall Distribution of Measures, Not Renewables (All Utilities)
Distribution of Measures vs. Renewables by Small/Rural Utilities
Next Steps • Incorporate C&RD and individual utilities from PNGC and IDEA • Perform analysis on complete dataset • Take a closer look at individual measures, normalize across utilities for comparative analysis • Refine utility selection criteria • Develop list of recommended utilities • Develop draft survey questions
