AI summary The Industrial Group supports using the Program Administrator Cost (PAC) as the primary test for evaluating Efficiency One's (E1) Demand-Side Management (DSM) plan, alongside other factors. They argue the Proposed Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) overemphasizes societal impacts over ratepayer costs and could reject necessary low-income programs. The PAC is deemed more appropriate under the Public Utilities Act (PUA).
