NON-CONFIDENTIAL 1 Response IR-39: 2 3 From Richard Levitan, Levitan & Associates, Inc.: 4 5 (a) These claimed benefits refer to peak demand reduction and avoided capacity costs. 6 7 (b) The results of the 2019 pilots will provide the basi...

AI summary The response from Richard Levitan discusses the limitations of using 2019 DSM pilot results to estimate peak demand reduction and avoided capacity costs. It argues that the results of these pilots will help reduce uncertainties but will not fully resolve them, and that a linear extrapolation of 2019 data to estimate 2020-2022 results is premature and may be inaccurate.
