Cost-Effectiveness of Electricity Energy Efficiency Programs
We analyze the cost-effectiveness of electric utility rate payer–funded programs to promote demand-side management (DSM) and energy efficiency investments. We develop a conceptual model that relates demand growth rates to accumulated average DSM capital per customer and changes in energy prices, income, and weather. We estimate that model using nonlinear least squares for two different utility ...
متن کاملShareholder Incentives for Utility-based Energy Efficiency Programs in California
The state of California has committed the unprecedented sum of $2.2 billion in ratepayer funds to utility-based energy efficiency programs from 2006 through 2008 and finalized in 2007 the determination of its shared-savings incentive mechanism for the 2006-2008 programs and beyond. A rigorous scrutiny of the California energy efficiency programs and the associated incentive mechanism could help...
متن کاملShareholder Incentives for Utility-Delivered Energy Efficiency Programs in California
The State of California has committed an unprecedented sum of $2.2 billion in ratepayer funds to utility-delivered energy efficiency programs from 2006 through 2008; the State finalized in 2007 the determination of the shared-savings incentive mechanism for the 2006-2008 programs and beyond. This study seeks to examine whether the adopted incentive mechanism would ensure an efficient delivery o...

متن کاملEstimating the Efficiency of Backtrack Programs
One of the chief difficulties associated with the so-called backtracking technique for combinatorial problems has been our inability to predict the efficiency of a given algorithm, or to compare the efficiencies of different approaches, without actually writing and running the programs. This paper presents a simple method which produces reasonable estimates for most applications, requiring only...
