    1. 1 Conservation and Load Management (C&LM) Partnerships with the Private Sector Presented at the “Creating Energy-Air Quality Collaboratives in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States”

    2. 2 Utility C&LM programs since early 1980’s Restructured in 2000 as part of PA 98-28 Established Energy Conservation Management Board Three mill ($0.003) per kWh conservation charge Fund is administered by the utilities in collaboration with the ECMB and DPUC 2003 CL&P C&LM budget - $70 million 2003 UI C&LM budget - $19 million

    3. 3 Energy Conservation Management Board (ECMB) Diverse constituency Advises and assists the utilities in developing and implementing comprehensive and cost effective energy efficiency and market transformation plans Established a “Roadmap” to ensure public participation, interaction and communication with the utilities and the ECMB

    4. 4 ECMB Membership Environment Northeast Dan Sosland Office of Consumer Counsel Mary Healey Attorney General Richard Blumenthal MetroHartford Chamber of Commerce Dan Moore Connecticut Business and Industry Assoc.

    5. 5 Mission Advance the efficient use of energy, while caring for the environment and promoting economic development and energy security in Connecticut. Energy Conservation Management Board resolution, January 2002

    6. 6 Goals Statewide Program Consistency CL&P and UI C&LM programs are similar Cooperation among Utility staff Common planning Many joint programs Equitable Distribution of Funding Geographically Among customer classes

    7. 7 Conservation activities save energy and benefit customers Connecticut energy consumption is 28% below national average $18 of output / dollar of energy input $14 national average 2001 Results $86 million expended $473 million lifetime economic benefit Saved enough electricity to supply 40,000 homes each year 314,000,000 annual kWh savings 4.7 billion kWh lifetime savings

    8. 8 Environmental benefits from the fund are significant
