AI summary
- IR-01 response (Exhibit E-17) presents an augmented version of Table 2 from the 2021 DSM Savings Verification Report, showing the overall Demand Side Management portfolio achieved 109.419 GWh in first-year net evaluated savings against a 121.5 GWh UARB-approved target (90.1%), with residential programs reaching 96.9% of target and the BNI sector reaching only 86.4%.
- IR-02 addresses the Green Heat program's 100% installation rate assumption; Efficiencyone expert Peach confirmed no dedicated survey was conducted for the 2021 verification cycle but noted that over 100 site visits in prior years found measure removal to be highly unusual, with customers consistently describing installations as household accomplishments.
- IR-03 provides 2020–2021 evaluated versus target savings for three BNI Custom Incentive Program sub-programs: the BNI Custom Incentives Program reached 76.9% of its 2021 energy savings target (23.293 GWh vs. 30.3 GWh) and 74.5% of its peak demand target; the EMIS program severely underperformed at 9.0% of its 2021 energy savings target (0.027 GWh vs. 0.3 GWh); and the Strategic Energy Management program achieved 61.5% of its 2021 energy savings target after exceeding targets in 2020 (163.1%).
