Energy Efficiency Program Presentation for Senator Padilla December 15, 2011
Customer Energy Efficiency Guiding Principles Establish Clear & Achievable Annual Energy Savings Targets to 2020 Offer Cost-Effective Program Elements Provide Customer Support & Continuous Improvement of Customer Experience Support Job Creation in Los Angeles Demand Rigorous Field Verification of Program Measures & Energy Savings Invest in Los Angeles Promote Conservation & Sustainable Practices Save Money for our Customer 2
Energy Efficiency: A Smart Investment REDUCES CARBON FOOTPRINT Customers save money by using less energy Reduces amount of energy needed to meet customer demand Reduces City’s carbon footprint (GHG emissions) by displacing fossil fuel Avoids infrastructure costs Creates local jobs Continues LA’s commitment to conserve CREATES LOCAL JOBS 3
Low Cost of Energy Efficiency The least expensive kilowatt is the one never generated * Data as of November 2011Avoided cost of Energy Efficiency includes the blended cost of gas fired and renewable generation of 8.5 cents/KWh; does not capture avoided fixed costs of capacity, like distribution and integration costs. 4
Energy Efficiency Funding Revenue Sources Today LADWP Customers Federal Grants New Borrowing 5
Energy Efficiency Program Drivers Customer Needs Technology Advances Reasonable Incentives Adequate Resources Outreach Regulatory Standards 6
Potential Study Key Findings:Commercial Sector shows highest potential for savings with biggest opportunities in lighting Industrial 9% Residential 34% Commercial 57% Industrial 4% Residential 28% Commercial 68% 7 *Based on Advanced Program
Energy EfficiencyProgress to Date In 2006, LADWP set goal of 10% energy savings over 10 years. Progress to date is less that we’d like: 3.1% in 5 years 9
Annual Energy SavingsWe are not on Target to meet 10% by 2020 10
LADWP Follows Strict Protocols to Measure & Verify Energy Efficiency • In-House Reviews: Conduct pre- and post-installation inspections • 3rd-Party Reviews (AB2021) • Since 2003, we have received independent measurement and verification of energy savings • Revising 3rd-party review to reflect new evaluation component in collaboration with California Energy Commission. Expect to develop new external review in 1st Quarter, 2012 11
