Public Educational Webinar Notice– California Public Utilities Commission Basics of Cost-Effectiveness Training for Demand Side Resources

California Public Utilities Commission 505 Van Ness Avenue, Courtyard Room (Corner of Van Ness Avenue and McAllister Street) San Francisco, CA  94102 Webinar information: Meeting Number:  745 278 698 Meeting Password:  !Energy1 To start or join the online meeting Go to: https://van.webex.com/van/j.php?MTID=m90334b1809fe18be45b3385ba1181b27 Teleconference information: Toll-Free:  888-385-9409 Participant Passcode:  3086053

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Energy Division Staff are offering a Webinar-based training class on the basics of cost-effectiveness analysis for demand-side resources. This training is open to the public. Participants are welcome to attend in person, but most participants will be participating by Webinar.

This training is intended to provide stakeholders with a basic understanding of the various procedures, terminology, and models that the CPUC currently uses to determine the cost-effectiveness of utility demand side programs.  We are offering this training to assist all stakeholders to improve their understanding of this technically complex subject and further enable stakeholders to provide meaningful commentary on the CPUC’s efforts to refine and develop cost-effectiveness methods.

Note:  This training will not discuss any proposed cost-effectiveness analysis pending in open proceedings at the CPUC.  It is an educational forum only. 

This training will cover:

Basic Concepts: Discount rates, discounted cash flows, benefit cost ratios, net benefits/net present value, payback period.

The Standard Practice Manual tests: Total Resource Cost (TRC) Test, Program Administrator Cost (PAC), Resource Impact Measure (RIM), Participant Test, Societal Test.

The Avoided Cost Calculator – the six types of avoided costs residual capacity value, resource balance year, loss of load probability/expectation, adjustment factors, avoided costs of Renewable Portfolio Standard/Greenhouse Gas/ancillary services.

Other cost concepts – net to gross/free ridership, incremental measure costs, administrative and capital costs, participant costs.

Non-energy benefits – participant, utility and social.

These concepts will be discussed within the context of the estimation techniques used in the existing cost-effectiveness frameworks established for Energy Efficiency, Demand Response, Distributed Generation and Low Income Energy Efficiency, so as to explain how the cost-effectiveness framework differs for these different resources.  This training will not cover proposed or cost-effectiveness methods or models that may be adopted for use in the future.

For questions or more information, contact:  Joy Morgenstern, Ph.D.  joy.morgenstern@cpuc.ca.gov or (415) 703-1900.
