Public Utility District
WORKSHOP
To: Board of Directors
From: Steven Poncelet
Date: February 03, 2010
Subject: Discussion of the 2010 Conservation Programs
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
Staff is seeking Board input into the FY10 conservation program plan.
2. HISTORY
The District has a robust stable of energy and water conservation programs and a
successful track-record of very cost-effective programs. There has been a substantial
increase in program spending over the last couple of years and, in FY09 particularly,
the District developed almost a dozen new energy and water conservation programs.
The District has expanded beyond traditional rebate programs and now also offers
give-a-way and direct-install programs. The primary goal of the District's conservation
programs remains to maximize return on equity for our customers and to ensure that
all of our customer segments have the opportunity to participate in our programs.
3. NEW INFORMATION
A draft allocation of funding for conservation programs is attached (see Attachment
A). This allocation is based on past customer participation in the programs, the cost-
effectiveness of each program, and a desire to have a suite of programs that can be
accessed by all of the District's customer segments. For FY10, the emphasis will be
primarily on maximizing the benefits of our existing programs given the District's
substantial existing programs.
It is important to note that, although this allocation will drive resource and staff
allocations, Staff does make adjustments to this allocation during the year based on
new information and customer response.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
The FY10 budget includes funding the for District's energy and water conservation
programs. There is no fiscal impact associated with this workshop item.
5. RECOMMENDATION
Receive this report and provide feedback and direction to staff.
