Home My WebLink About16 Conservation Report Agenda Item # TRUCKEE DONNER Workshop To: Board of Directors From: Scott Terrell, Conservation Administrator Date: February 1, 2008 Subject: 2007 Conservation Program Evaluation & 2008 Conservation Program 1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD To discuss the energy and demand savings impacts of the District's 2007 Energy Conservation Programs and the Planning of Energy Conservation Programs for 2008. Objective: 5. Manage the District in an environmentally sound manner Goals: 5.4 District will maintain a program of energy and water use efficiency 5.5 District will conduct its business in an environmentally lawful manner 6. Manage the District in an effective, efficient and fiscally responsible manner. 2. HISTORY The District has been offering conservation services to its customers since 1992. Up until 1997 the services were primarily energy audits, helping customers with high energy bill complaints and educating customers through seminars, workshops and the Truckee Home Show on how to save energy and water. In 1997, in addition to our other conservation activities, the District began offering its customers conservation cash rebates for appliances, building efficiency measures, high efficiency space heating and water heating. In 2007, the Board approved an enhanced conservation program that included adding dishwashers, building efficiency measures and residential and commercial lighting to the conservation rebate program. The District has been offering conservation rebate programs, in part, in response to AB1890, the CA State Public Benefits mandate. The District expanded its conservation programs in 2007 to comply with SB1037 and A132021. Beginning in 2008, the District is required to report its conservation program impacts to the legislature through NCPA. 3. NEW INFORMATION Attached is a spreadsheet showing the District's Conservation Rebate program activities for 2007 including costs and benefits. Staff is working with NCPA in preparing annual conservation program impact evaluations including the use of the NCPA/KEMA Consulting E3 Conservation Program Evaluation Tool; summary attached. The 2007 evaluation shows that the rebate programs saved 418,665 kilowatt hours (.271% of District energy use) and reduced kW demand by 382 (1.11% of District kW demand). In 2008, the District is planning to reduce its energy requirements by 1% through its conservation and rebate programs. The District Board approved a budget of $118,500 in 2007 for the conservation cash rebates and marketing. About $60,000 of the rebate and marketing monies budgeted were actually spent in 2007. There was an estimated $119,000 spent on staff labor and overheads that brings the total rebate program cost in 2007 to approximately $179,000. This translates into a cost per kWh of about 43 cents. The typical conservation measure provides about 15 years in savings for an average cost of about 3 cents per kWh over a conservation measures lifecycle. The 2008 District Conservation Program Summary and Implementation Timeline for 2008 are attached. The Summary provides information on the monies budgeted for each program, the projected annual energy savings and the cost of conserved energy figures supplied by Robert Mowris. Each X in the timeline refers to the month in 2008 that each program element is planned to be ready for implementation. Staff will prepare detailed information on each of these programs and present to the District Board before planning to implement these programs. 4. RECOMMENDATION That the District Board accept the 2007 Conservation Program evaluation and direction on the proposed 2008 Conservation Program timeline. Scott Terrell, Conservation Adm.
