LOCAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS
Alliance To Save Energy - No. 142-02
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This educational program focuses on saving energy in schools and helping students understand the link between energy and the environment through behavior modification, operational changes, and retrofits in school buildings. The program will involve 45 schools in up to 9 school districts in three geographic areas of SCE and PG&E. The school districts in the program participate in developing a baseline of energy use and commit to returning 50 percent of the resulting savings back to the individual schools. The program is comprehensive and is run by students, faculty, custodians and administrators working together to develop an implementation plan that supports their unique educational needs and priorities. The program targets hard-to-reach and underserved areas where customers do not traditionally participate in energy efficiency programs.

BUDGET APPROVED Total Additional funding |
$4,452,827 (revised) $2,965,476* $1,487,351 |
* Originally approved in D.02-05-046.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program provides expertise and resources to assist school districts in implementing energy efficient retrofits and energy education. The program offers (1) energy efficiency retrofit guidance and operations training for district facility and maintenance personnel; (2) assistance in incorporating energy efficiency curriculum and learning activities into the district curricula; (3) Web-based tools for learning about energy efficient project planning and implementation, and accessing a bulk procurement mechanism. In addition, the program incorporates regional activities such as workshops and technology demonstration projects to benefit multiple school districts. The program is an expansion of SCSA's energy education model currently implemented in five school districts in the Central Valley and offers another approach that complements other schools programs within the PG&E service area being funded for 2002. The program features strong synergies with other statewide programs such as Express Efficiency and Standard Performance Contract.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
With the additional funding awarded to this program, SCSA should provide a detailed breakdown of the approved budget and submit revised Program Implementation Plans as set forth in this decision. SCSA should provide a complete itemization of its budget in accordance with the various tasks and activities proposed under the program. Given that subcontractors would undertake most of the work under the program, SCSA's labor costs should be limited to no more that 2.5% of the program budget. Given the budget reduction for the program, we also require SCSA to identify in its Program Implementation plans revised performance targets commensurate with the lower budget.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This program provides information and an incentive to install variable speed drives (VSD) for milking vacuum pumps to dairy farms in three IOU territories in California. The VSD will measure the actual vacuum needed during milking and raise and lower the motor's speed to provide only the actual vacuum needed, thus saving energy and it is a program with a large portion of the budget going to end users.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
We require that a third party perform measurement and verification of the program.

IOU CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR: |
SCE |
BUDGET APPROVED |
$1,287,531 |
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This is an information, education and incentive program. Geoexchange is an environmentally friendly technology that relies on natural thermal energy stored in the ground for heating and cooling and replaces conventional fuel burning or electric heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems. The program will target three segments: Commercial New Construction, Non-Residential Renovation & Remodeling, and Residential New Construction. The program provides incentive to underserved and hard-to-reach schools when they install geoexchange systems. Geoexchange has been successfully instituted in more than 650 U.S. schools located in 40 states and has reduced energy consumption from 25% to 50% compared to traditional heating and cooling systems.
Global Energy Services - No. 278-02*
* Originally approved in D.02-05-046.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This cross cutting information/outreach/education program targets hard-to-reach low-income Chinese speakers in LA County and the City of San Francisco. In addition to 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 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 and will draw on the skills of several well-positioned individuals to conduct the outreach efforts.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
In D.02-05-046, the Commission approved this program only for the SCE service area. With the additional funding awarded in this decision, the program is expanded to the PG&E area as originally proposed. Global Energy Services should provide a detailed breakdown of the approved budget and submit revised Program Implementation Plans as set forth in this decision.
Portland Energy Conservation, Inc. (PECI) - No. 237-02
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This cross cutting program partners with grocery wholesalers to provide energy saving information, technical assistance and financial incentive for independent grocers to purchase and install energy efficient lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. The partnership will place an energy efficiency expert at the wholesaler to level the playing field with the large grocery chains that have in-house efficiency services. This will also build trust and bring the program to hard-to-reach, independent grocers (10 to 15% of grocery buildings will be rural ) The program will also develop upstream relationships with equipment manufacturers and contractors.
PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS
1. The table below restates the proposal goals for the final 15% payment:
5% |
Retrofit 525 buildings with energy efficiency measures, 20% of which shall be outside of the large urban areas of San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and San Diego. |
2% |
Initial audits for 1,050 independent grocers |
5% |
272, 000,000 kWh are saved |
2% |
Technical consultations for 525 buildings |
1% |
Training 120 contractors |
The Implementation Plan must include a method to prevent double dipping of incentives for participants in this program.
