Annual DSM Report

On the schedule set forth in rule 4752, the utility shall provide the Commission a detailed DSM report.#

(a)In the annual DSM report, the utility shall describe its actual DSM programs as implemented. For each DSM program, the utility shall document actual program expenditures, energy savings, and peak demand reduction as a result of energy efficiency programs, peak demand reduction as a result of specific demand reduction programs, avoided greenhouse gas emissions, cost-effectiveness, and participation levels at the measure level for census block groups or zip codes if restrictions apply at the census block group.#

(b)Annual program expenditures shall be separated into cost categories contained in the approved DSM plan.#

(c)For each DSM program, the utility shall compare the program's proposed and actual expenditures, energy and demand savings, participation rate, avoided greenhouse gas emissions, and cost-effectiveness; in addition, the utility shall prepare an assessment of the success of the program and list any suggestions for improvement and greater customer involvement.#

(d)The utility shall provide actual benefit/cost results for the overall DSM plan and individual DSM programs implemented during the plan year. The benefit/cost analysis shall be based on the costs incurred and benefits achieved, as identified in the modified TRC test pursuant to paragraphs 4751(o) and 4753(m) and (n). Benefit values are to be based upon the results of M & V evaluation when such evaluation has been conducted as set forth in rule 4755. Otherwise, the benefit values of the currently approved DSM plan are to be used.#

(e)If the annual report covers a year within which an M & V evaluation was completed, the complete M & V results are to be included as part of the annual report.#

(f)The greenhouse gas emissions reductions achieved from DSM programs shall be calculated consistent with rules 4525 through 4528.#

(g)The annual DSM report shall contain the level of greenhouse gas emissions reductions from DSM programs that qualify as a clean heat resource, reported in levels of carbon dioxide, methane, and carbon dioxide equivalents as well as a report of DSM measures approved as part of a clean heat plan.#
