  1. On-Bill Financing for 2009-2011 CPUC Financing Workshop - June 15, 2009 Brian DiGiorgio, PG&E Technology Transfer

  2. PG&E EE Portfolio Filing proposal Program elements – striving for Statewide consistency- • Loan terms out to five years for small commercial customers; • Loan terms out to 10 years for institutional customers; • Loan amounts up to $100,000 for small commercial customers; • Loan amounts up to $250,000 for institutional customers; • Loans funded using energy efficiency funds with program management by each IOU; and • Loan defaults insured through energy efficiency funds.

  3. Points of interest…and challenges Institutional Customers- Many are like small businesses (capital constraint, lack of knowledge, lack of staff, “small” facilities) • Need simplicity and are asking for turnkey solutions Larger Institutional customers scoff at $250K max (many projects over $250,000 in the queue) • Need for a big program to make progress. Is cost of market-rate capital a deal-killer, or will private funding with on-bill repayment be compelling?

  4. Points of interest…and challenges Small Commercial Customers- Market research deferred due to Bridge Funding, but our pilot and other sources suggest that: • Comprehensive solutions are expensive and hard to sell to small businesses • Programs are best rolled out slowly, and built upon increasing competence and successes • Best to leverage existing sales forces (contractors and sales teams) to identify likely customers

  5. Potential Institutional Customer Program designs Two flexible Line Item Billing solutions- • Energy Efficiency-funded program, with focused measures • Market rate, third-party funded program for: • large projects • high transaction volumes • bundled solutions Focused measures and effort- • Commercial pools retrofits? • HVAC? • Prior lost opportunities? Or…all eligible measures as a layered tool?
