Creating viable utility conservation/load management programs

Eric Hirst

Energy, 1988, vol. 13, issue 1, 33-44

Abstract: An electric utility can determine the value of demand-side programs (conservation and load management) in its service territory by following a procedure that involves several steps. The first three are general in nature: 1.(1) identify potential markets and end-use technologies to serve these markets,2.(2) estimate technical potential,3.(3) estimate cost-effective potential. The other eight are program-specific:4.(4) develop program options that deliver end-use improvements to customers,5.(5) estimate program participation, energy-use effects, and costs over time,6.(6) project electricity use with and without the program,7.(7) analyze program economics (benefits and costs),8.(8) test the concept,9.(9) implement a pilot program,10.(10) implement a full-scale (systemwide) program,11.(11) evaluate the program.
