Lost and Found: Ensuring that Energy Efficiency Opportunities become Projects
Association of Energy Service Professionals (AESP) Summer Conference
See publicationObtaining customer approval to participate in an IOU administered energy efficiency program can be a significant challenge. The analysis will identify major factors and root causes to explain why opportunities aren't converted to installed projects. This analysis will also be used to frame conditions or parameter sets where the riskiness of converting opportunity to project is the greatest.
Drawing from best practices in current energy efficiency programs, recommendations will be made…Obtaining customer approval to participate in an IOU administered energy efficiency program can be a significant challenge. The analysis will identify major factors and root causes to explain why opportunities aren't converted to installed projects. This analysis will also be used to frame conditions or parameter sets where the riskiness of converting opportunity to project is the greatest.
Drawing from best practices in current energy efficiency programs, recommendations will be made to guide program managers in reducing lost opportunities at the project level. Finally, the analysis will provide a cost-benefit analysis comparing the benefit of lost opportunity mitigation strategies against their costs.
