IOU CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR: |
PG&E |
BUDGET APPROVED |
$827,116 |
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program aims to increase demand and expand sales of high efficiency gas water heaters (i.e., gas water heaters with an energy factor of 0.61 or higher) in the residential replacement market by providing incentives to participating wholesalers to encourage them to purchase, inventory, and promote these water heaters. Water heaters sold for new construction are excluded from the program. Of the $10 incentive per unit to be offered under the program, $7 is to be passed along as an over-the-counter discount to the plumber and $3 can remain with the wholesaler. The program is an extension of a similar program that ADM has been implementing in the Southern California Gas Company's (SCG) service area since 1999. The program's upstream focus is anticipated to promote high efficiency gas water heaters, as results of the SCG program appear to show.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
ADM originally proposed to implement this program in both PG&E and SCG territories, but provided no detailed breakdown of the budgets for each utility. Since the program is approved only for the PG&E service area, we require ADM to provide a detailed breakdown of the approved budget in its Program Implementation Plans. If feasible and cost-effective, ADM should consider including hot water pipe insulation as another measure in the program.

Global Energy Services - No. 278-02
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This cross cutting information/outreach/education program targets hard-to-reach low-income Chinese speakers in LA Co. (2002) and San Francisco Co. (2003). Beyond alerting the community to issues of energy efficiency, an important goal of this program is to enlist residential and small commercial customers for an energy audit. This program was selected because it identifies and reaches out to a specific demographic group using a multi-media blitz to kick start an effort to introduce this group both to energy related concerns as well as to existing efficiency opportunities not well utilized by this group. Global Energy Services has teamed up with local Chinese organizations (in LA) and will draw on the skills of several well-positioned individuals to conduct the outreach efforts.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program uses a systems approach to stall more efficient pumps, motors, and control systems for oil well heads of small to medium sized producers in Southern California. Through education, audits and financing assistance, Global Energy Partners will assist producers to make wise energy efficient modifications. Through its website, it will link producers with other energy savings programs. Energy efficiency measures will include pump-off controllers, variable frequency drives, load balancing on rod pumps, proper sizing of water injection pumps, variable frequency prime movers, optimization of fluid cooling systems and premium efficient motors.
While oil producers are not considered underserved or hard-to-reach, small to medium sized producers who struggle to compete with the industry leaders, may not have expertise or financial resources to improve energy efficiency and contribute to potentially very large energy savings
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
We recommend that an independent third party verify the energy savings.
Heschong Mahone Group - No. 255-02
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program, in cooperation with the housing authorities, adopts a utility allowance that reflects savings due to energy efficiency measures. When savings are shared between landlord and renter, the landlord may charge a higher rent as an incentive to install energy savings measures and the renter will pay a lower overall monthly costs due to energy savings. In addition, incentives will be provided to building owners that demonstrate a 20% improvement over current condition as determined by a HERS rating or by showing 10% more efficient than required by state law using Microspas or Energy pro software runs. Ignoring the effect of energy efficiency on utility allowances provides no incentive for energy efficiency in housing authority units. The program focuses on working with housing authorities for the first year, and with building owners for the second year.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
We recommend accepting this program only in SCE and SCG territories. We require that the proposal's implementation plan include a method to prevent participants from double dipping in incentives.

The Center will hold workshops, provide a centralized venue for all matters energy efficiency and provide services for seeking out and processing paperwork for financing opportunities. The two primary elements proposed are: (1) an Energy Learning Center, and (2) a Technology Center.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
In response to a data request from the Energy Division, SDREO submitted a revised budget that reduced the total amount they are seeking from $2,195,519 to $1,805,107. We are accepting their revised budget amount. Given that the facility leased to house the Energy Center will also house SDREO, with 2,500 of 6,000 square feet dedicated to SDERC, we will expect the Regional Energy Office to foot at least 50% of the bill for the lease, facility improvements and to fully fund any items that will primarily benefit the SDREO "wing" or operations on its own. Accordingly, any reductions in those budget items should be redirected toward SDERC program activities and this reallocation should be presented in the Program Implementation Plan.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program provides a comprehensive package of energy efficiency measures through a "turn-key" approach. Small commercial customers in economically distressed areas are the target market for this program. Marketing for this program will come primarily from door-to-door outreach. Participating customers will be provided with an energy audit to identify energy saving opportunities within their business, as well as demonstrate the energy savings they can achieve through these proposed opportunities. Once customers agree to undertake an energy saving retrofit of their business they will be given an appointment for the retrofit. Once the retrofit work is done, participants will receive significant rebates for the measures they install.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
We reduce the original budget from $2,047,500 to $1, 724,367. SDREO should reflect this budget reduction, and its subsequent effects on program targets, in its implementation plan. This program is very similar in nature to SDG&E's EZ-Turnkey Program and Small Business Assessments Program; thus, all of these programs should be closely coordinated, with respect to marketing, incentive levels, and customer participation databases. We require that a description of this coordination plan be provided in this program's implementation plan.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This is an incentive/rebate program. The targeted market segments are agricultural, commercial and industrial manufacturing facilities using less than 250,000 therms annually. The program comprises of three components:
· The "Purchase-Apply-Receive Rebate". Under this component streamlined rebates will be provided to the customers who install one or more identified energy efficiency products.
· The "Nonresidential Equipment Replacement". This incentive component is limited to "kind-for-kind" replacement of old, inefficient commercial or industrial end-use-gas-fired technology with higher efficiency alternatives.
· The "Nonresidential Energy Conservation". Under this incentive component, the qualified customers will be provided with a financial incentive to implement comprehensive energy saving commercial building envelope or industrial process changes on a unique, site specific, "case-by-case" basis.
All three components target early replacement of old, inefficient gas-fired equipment used in nonresidential market segment.
Non Residential Financial Incentives Program is an extension of the Statewide Express Efficiency program targeting gas measures that do not lend themselves to the simplified rebate structure of Express Efficiency.
