December 26 Bounding Scenarios

• The following tables present estimates of
  increased savings that would be associated with
  five different scenarios for increased investment
  in energy efficiency through the Energy
  Efficiency Utility mechanism, as supported by the
  statewide Energy Efficiency Charge.
• Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 are the two scenarios
  previously developed and presented at the
  December 1, 2005, Act 61 Workshop, and are
  provided here for reference.
• Scenarios 3, 4, and 5 are new bounding
  scenarios that reflect EVTs understanding of the
  definitions of three extreme cases that parties
  to the current ACT 61 energy efficiency
  proceedings have requested - to inform their
  recommendations to the PSB (due January 6) for
  the final three scenarios that would be analyzed
  more closely.
• All these estimates should be taken as highly
  preliminary. It should also be noted that while
  these estimates include expenditures and services
  of other parties, including the DPS, EEU Contract
  Administrator, EEU Fiscal Agent, and Burlington
  Electric Department, none of these parties have
  approved these estimates.

Scenario 1
This scenario, as presented at 12/1/05 Act 61
workshop, moderately ramps up current strategies
and services without current budget constraints.
All values are preliminary estimates for
statewide EEU costs and savings
4
Scenario 2
This scenario, as presented at 12/1/05 Act 61
workshop, aggressively ramps up strategies and
services within current policy guidance to
approximately twice the current budget in 2008.
All values are preliminary estimates for
statewide EEU costs and savings
5
Scenario 3
This bounding scenario, re-allocates the
currently planned EEU budget to maximize
cost-effective annual incremental electricity
savings, unconstrained by equity or any other
current statutory or regulatory policy
objectives.
All values are preliminary estimates for
statewide EEU costs and savings
6
Scenario 4
This bounding scenario assumes a base of
currently planned strategies and services with
current funding plus as much additional
cost-effective investment over next 3 years as
possible without policy constraints (maximum
achievable potential from the DPS 2002 potential
study).
All values are preliminary estimates for
statewide EEU costs and savings
7
Scenario 5
This bounding scenario is defined by ramping up
to three times current EEU investment in 2008,
2/3 of which would be under existing policy
guidance and 1/3 of which would maximize annual
incremental electricity savings, unconstrained by
equity or any other current statutory or
regulatory policy objectives.
All values are preliminary estimates for
statewide EEU costs and savings
